SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the Ist have arrived. A
medical bulletin was posted up at the palace from
M. Juaii Sanchez, chief physician to the Queen,
stating that, though the King had been obliged to
keep his bed from a catarrhal fever, no danger was
to be apprehended. M. de Bourman, one of
the Spanish commissioners for the settlement
of the Portuguese boundary question, having ar-
ranged a number of points connected with the
subject, had returned to Madrid to receive addi-
tional instructions, and was to go back immedi-
ately after to Gallicia. M. Poitevin, the well-
known French aeronaut, was at Bilboa, where his
ascensions excited much attention, several of the
principal inhabitants having gone up with him.
News from the Havannah to the 2d states that the
sugar sales had nearly ceased, but that prices were
exceedingly firm. The announcement of the ap-
proaching connection of the colony with Europe by
means of a submarine telegraph from Ireland caus-
ed great satisfaction.

MALTA.

(Prom a Correspondent of the Morning Post.)

VALETTA, April I.—The Peninsular and Oriental
steamer Euxine, which arrived from Marseilles ye t-
torch)/ morning with the overland portion of the
India mail, brought us London news of the 26th
ult. The Pera, with the heavy portion of the mail,
arrived on Saturday, the 28th, from Southampton.
Both vessels left for Alexandria yesterday. The
Euxine brought us two days' later intelligence than
conveyed by the usual French postal steamer.
H. M.'s frigate Magicienne, Captain Vansittart,
left on Tuesday last for Valparaiso, having been
ordered to the Pacific station. She was ordered to
touch at Caglisri, in order to tel9graph to London
the intelligetic3 received here on that day from
Persia and China. H. M.'s corvette Sphinx left
on Wednesday for England, conveying a piece of
brass ordnance as a present from the Sultan to her
Majesty.

A grand review of the troops in garrison was held
at the Florian Parade-ground'on Tuesday, by Gen.
Sir J. L. Pennefather. Capt. Inglefield, R.A., took
a series of photographic views of them. On the
following day the marines of the ships of war in
port went through a field-day's work on the same
ground. They were accompanied by a force of blue
jackets with eight brass field-pieces. The rapidity
with which these hearts of oak fired and unlim-
bered the carriages was the admiration of thou-
sands of spectators. The training and movements
of the marines were alio admirable. Colonel Gust-
ling, R.A., who is succeeded in command of the
artillery by Col. St. George, C. 8., left for England
in the steamer Indus last Saturday. I regret to
mention the death of Capt. Henry King, of the 21st
Fusiliers, by drowning. On Saturday last he went
to bathe near the rocks outside Fort Ricasoli, and
the sea running heavy, proved too much for his
strength. Deceased was only 24 y ears of age, and
his untimely end has cast a deep gloom over the
regiment.

On the evening of St. Patrick's-clay the officers
of the 28th Regiment gave a grand ball at the, Au-
berge de Provence. It went off with great eclat.
It is stated that the plan of Mr. Stephenson for
the coustruction of a canal to connect the Marna

Aluseett with the Great Harbour has Leon approved
of at home. It will no doubt be of much advantage
to the is!and.

The building for the new:Haifa Exchange is now
nearly complete. It is very commodious, and con-
tains many conveniences fir commercial purposes.
May a bright SA of members oceiny themselves in
preserving the fame of the founders of the old
"Borsa."

English masters of ships complain, and justly an,
of the great expense and inconvenience theyare pnt
to in being obliged to extend their sea-protests and
averages in the Commercial Court in Italian, instead
of in their native language before a notary-public,
especiallyas there are three English notaries in the
island. The practice in England, and all her
colonies and possessions, excepting Malta, is to
prepare these useful documents before a notary,
such matters being of an extra judicial nature ; but
it seems that in Malta odious monopolies are to be
supported by Government, even to the detriment
of a public body, as well as the injury of Bri!ish
shipping and commerce. Instead of assisting the
professions, and ameliorating their condition, the
legal Government helps to oppress them. The
boasted justice of England is laughed at when used
in this way.
I notice by the last papers received from
England that the anniversary festival of the
Highland Society was celebrated at the Freemasons'
Tavern in commemoration of the battle of-Alex-
andria where the heroism of the Scotch troops was
so memorably displayed. Some of your readers
may not know that the ashes of Sir Ralph Aber•
crombie, whose embalmed body, enclosed in a
barrel, was brought direct to Malta after the
glorious fight of Aboukir, rest in Fort St. Elmo.
The monument placed there by the care of General
Pigot overlooks the sea which washes the shore
where he triumphed and died, and is surrounded
by the proud bulwarks of his country's power.
The following is the inscription upon it :
To the memory of
RALPH ABERCROMBIE, A SOOT,
knight of the order of the bath ; distinguished as
a man
for probity, and

. _
greatness of mind, and celebrated for his prowess
and military skill in the american and dutch wars.

In this capacity

With the same success

he repeatedly foiled and overcame their various attempts
until, engaging in battle,
at the sanguinary conflict of Alexandria,
in the year 31.DCCC.I. on the xxi. of March,
whilst fighting in the foremost ranks ; at the very moment
of victory
he received a mortal wound in the breast,
of which he expired, to the general regret,

. .
on the xxviii of the same month, in the 'awll year of
his age.
As a general, he was renowned for skill in military tactics,
for wariness in counsel,
determination in execution,

and for unshaken fidelity to his king and country.
Lamented by the king and people of Great Britain.
Admiral Lyons' fleet is daily expected from the

THE NEW BISHOP OF NORWICH.

It is about a fortnight since we expressed a hopg
that the Hon. and 'Rev. T. Pelham, Rector of
Marylebone, might ba the party chosen by Lord
Palmerston to succeed Dr. Hinds in the See of
Norwich. We have now the great gratification of
stating that our hopes have been realised, and our
anticipations fulfilled. The _Record of last night
makes the gratifying announcement that the Hon.
and Rev. Gentleman has been appointed to the
vacant Bishopric.
The Rev. Gentleman having served some minor
offices in the Church, was presented by the Earl of
Abergavenny, in 1837, to the rectory of Burgh
Apton, in the diocese over which he is now about
to preside ; and this benefice he held until 1852,
when he resigned it on accepting the incumbency
of Christ Church, Hampstead. On the death of
the Rev. Dr. Spry, in 1854, Mr. Pelham was pre-
sented by the Crown to the valuable metropolitan
rectory of St. Marylebone, which he has held up to
the present time. The new Prelate, like all the
bishops who have been appointed by the present
Government, is a strong adherent of the Evangeli-
cal party in the Church of England, and is one of
the most popular preachers in the Establishment.
