THE BULL-FIGHTS AT SARAGOSSA.

SARAGOSSA, OCT. 12.
To-day is the feast of the Virgin of St. Pillar.
Of the many holyday occasions of this country,

none, at least in the north of Spain, is more re-
nowned. Partly from religious veneration, partly
from curiosity to see the bull-fights, which take
place on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the people
here are in a state of excitement which equals that
of London and its environs on the Derby-day. The
shops are shut, and the streets and churches so
crowded that it is difficult to make one's way. The
church of St. Pillar affords an interesting spectacle
to a Protestant. Hundreds of people are kneeling
before the celebrated image of the Virgin, said to
have descended straight from Heaven on the very
spot on which it is now resting. There would be
thousands, but they cannot find kneeling room.
Yesterday I saw from 100 to 150 monks walk in
solemn procession to the shrine, and then kneel on
the hard stone, still keeping their ranks. It has
been suggested (no doubt by some ill-natured per-
sons) that this image, though it now boasts a high
antiquity, was not heard of till the Aragonese
authorities had become jealous of a certain shrine
in the interior of Spain which attracted large mul-
titudes of strangers. Tradition hints that on
grounds of both religious and commercial policy
the said authorities were induced to cast about for a
rival. If this is so they, at least, have the merit of
success. One feature generally observable enough
in scenes of this sort is conspicuous by its absence
—there are no English tourists. Of French there
are enough and to spare, but Englishmen have
never been much addicted to travelling in a country
in which locomotion has always been attended with
much roughing and delay, and they have not yet
discovered that these drawbacks have been in a
great measure removed. The railway between Pam-
peluna and Saragossa has only been open a few days.
What was formerly a very serious journey by
diligence can now be performed in five hours and
a half. And certainly it is worth two days' excur-
sion over the French border to see a country and a
people so completely different from anything to be
frnina Pigp-whAr. ;,, V-pc. The finit part of the
line from Pampeluua passes through a lovely coun-
try, rich in vines, which yield some of the best wine
in Spain. Every station is a source of amusement

to the carious traveller. At Tudela you ara sure
of seeing a crowd of the most motley description,—
stately priests with their quaint, superstitious-look-
ing hats, dark-eyed belles peering through their
veils and vainly attempting to use their fans, rail-
way officials with cigars in their mouths, and pea-
sants, many of them with arms and faces as
swarthy as those of an Arab, are all jumbled toge-
ther in glorious confusion. The latter are especially
picturesque. They wear knee-breeches and sandals,
and invariably carry a broad blue or red sash round
their waist. A jacket is hung over the shoulder in
case of bad weather surprising them, and they de.
spise all head-covering but a red handkerchief tied
round the temples, the skull remaining exposed to
the sun, which is as hot as in our July.
The manager of the locomotive department in-
formed me that there had been no serious accidents
as yet, but that he should not wonder if there soon
were, as the company had been foolish enough to
dismiss all its English engine-drivers, and their
places were most inadequately supplied by
Spaniards. The only occasion on which a man
had been killed arose from his mule taking it into
its head to indulge in a fit of obstinacy while cross-
ing the line just as an engine was coming up. It is
curious to see Spanish artillery drawn entirely by
these long-eared animals, It is said that the French
Emperor has begun to use them for the same
purpose.
Saragossa, though the capital of Aragon, would
eminently disappoint any one who expected refine-
ment. There is, generally
.speaking, no trottoir ;
the pavement is dirty and so rugged that anything
bnt the solid wheels of an ox-cart would soon be
rattled to pieces, and every one comes home footsore
who is not provided with the thickest of boots. The
streets are narrow and wretchedly lighted. Indeed,
civilisation has not at present advanced as far as
gas. On the other hand, the very defects of the
place will attract the traveller who seeks for know-
ledge. You may here see an important town whit h
has the peculiarity of having made no improve-
ment for several hundred years. From its present
appearance you may form a pretty shrewd notion
of what towns very generally were in the middle
ages.
The wide portals and staircases looking out into
narrow, slovenly streets, give one a capital idea of
the combination of magnificence and dirt which
characterised the days of ancient chivalry.
As this country will soon be flooded by tourists
a word of advice may be useful. Let no one come
without an antidote against insects. Your Spanish
flea is a most independent personage. He hops
about in your sight with the appearance of a Lon-
don cocksparrow. Even in hotels,which but for
ohisf presence
immunity would
seems
bey good,in
a his
greatancient
measure charter
re-
spected.
At theatres and cafes he is perfectly at
home.

OCTOBER 13.

Certainly October is the month for travelling in
Spain. We are enjoying the perfection of English
summer weather. Windows are kept open day and
night, and yet the heat is not oppressive. The
principal bull-fight took place to-day at 3 o'clock.
Never was amphitheatre more crowded. If you had
scattered a pocket of pins in almost any part of the
building, hardly one of them would have reached
the ground. The seats are covered by a roof, but
the arena is exposed to the open air ; otherwise, such
close packing would have been intolerable. It is a
fine thing to see 10,000 people sitting together at
any time, but there is something about a Spanish
crowd peculiarly fascinating to a stranger. The
uniforms of the soldiers, the cocked hats of th-
policemen, and the lavish mixture ,f —ivors in the
Idresses of both .uu women, with here and
iuere costumes of the quaintest description, pro-
duced a scene upon which any artist might have
dwelt with pleasure. At the appointed time tlie
band struck up, and the whole corps of perform ht
saluted the President. Three horsemen and man=
or nine men on foot, all dressed in the g y
'ahesbright-mer, and most of them provided wit
coloured shawls, remained in the ring. Suddenly

CHICHESTER, ,p'ex. is.
An inquest was held on the body of Jame, Outbn,
aged 22 years, on the evening of Thursday, 04tohfr •
17, in a large room at Bishop Otter's College, be-
fore the City Coroner, Mr. James Powell;'' : '^.-'
_The following gentlemen were sworn^as jurt,;-

lips, J. Adames, and Charles Powell. • ,teen.

Police-constable William Pullen deposed—Ll am a:.
police-constable of the city of Chichester. At•ab?fut.- ,
five minutes to 12 o'clock last night, while on drift
near the Sun public-house, Somer's-town, I he ;441
the report of a rifle, followed by a peculiar cry of
" Yah, yah !" seven or eig'ht times. I immediately
went up past the poor-bouse to the barracks to:Oilk',
guard-room, and told what :I had heard._ ~I kneke:
soldier was at large. I obtained the assistancar
three soldiers armed with loaded rifles. We Viltner
down Love-lane, and on passing near ttae•-544.151
which leads into the college field; ftrough•wflich
passes a pathway to Grayling Well Farm,' I treard
a faint cry of " Police, police! I am shot!"
over the style and saw some one lying in the inaqii.k"'
with 'his,,back on the bank. Itmight-be ten ya.rdsa.n. :
the field. I said to the scadieis, " Here'he is." They,.
wentin front. On passing the light bf
over his face,l recognised him as belongin'g to-Bglardp
Otter's College. I asked him if he aid belong t6le.
College, his answer was, " Yes." He was quite spp-
sible.§ln reply to my questions, he said,, Ili
been shot by a soldier who was sitting on the,gate,.
and bid me look sharp and take him away; or he
should die with cold. He also' told' me that the
soldier after he had shot him, ran away dqWwthb
lane towards Chichester. There were no traces of
blood in the road.
By the Coroner—Did he appear to be aware of
being in a dying state ?
Witness—No. He said he thought he )Vala.
wounded in the thigh, and was bleeding intein44.-
I whistled for assistance, and 'one of the soW4s,.
went to the barracks for help. By the assistance
of police-constable Collins and others we placed Mai.:
on a gate, and took him to the College, if heitaafe '
was placed on a mattress, and taken upstairs:''` He
said nothing else in my hearing. He clieatabout
two hours from the time of my hearing the report
of the rifle. I produce the waistcoat he, had on.
A ball has shot away a button, and his' vatch-
guard was shot asunder. There is a h.olpneacly in
the centre of the front and back part of tho'ivaist-
coat. His watch, ring, and other prbperty were
on his person. He had not been robbed:- About
half an hour elapsed between the report of the gun
and the finding of the young man in' the field.
Alven Duke, M.D., stated—l am a member,of the
Royal College of Surgeons. I was called up by •a
policeman between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning
with the request that I would come immediately to
this College. He said one of the students had been
shot. When I got here I found' the:deceased on' a
bed. I observed a great quantity ofiblood• on,. his
shirt, and a circular wound about 3 inches below the
extremity of the breast-bone, and another circular
wound in the back about 3;1 inches on the right side
of the spine. The wounds were suelias, would be
caused by a bullet. From the clean "state of the
edges of the wounds in all probability they were
caused by a conical ball from a rifle: .! He was in a
dying state when I saw him. He died about five
minutes after my arrival. Tho wounds were the
cause of his death. He must haVe been nearly on
a level with the rifle when shot. Hp-probably died
from internal hemorrhage. He could, not have in-
flicted the wound on himself.
By Mr. Dale—From indications on the waist-
coat, how far should you think deceased was from
the rifle when shot ?
itness—Very near,. indeed. The waistcoat
produced wasperforated in the' front and back, and
much stained with blood, with slight markings of
gunpowder on it.
Matthew Parrington sworn—lam a member of
the Church of England and Principal of. Bishop
Otter's College. The name of the deceased was
James Outon. He was 22 years- of riage, and my
pupil. Close on 12 o'clock last night I heard a loud
report of a gun. I heard shrieks ai3 if of a'wounded
person • about three shrieks. I then got out of bed.
and looked out of window, which looks down to the
spot where the sound came from. As I heard no
more noise, nor could I see _ anything, I
went to bed again. Noises and cries are
so frequent in the lane, which is a great tho-
roughfare to the barracks, that I pay little atten-
tion to them. I also thought', it was near the sth
of November, some one might haVe let off a rocket:
I had no knowledge of an inmate of ,my establish-
ment being out. I was afterwards roused from sleep
by a violent knocking at the door. On opening it,
I found Outon lying on a gate% the earriage-road
attended by police and soldiers,. 1 addressed him
by his name, but received ne answer, nor do I be-
lieve he spoke at all afterwards. I have been in-
formed that he had been to the house of Mr. Bridger
in St. John,a-street. I had not given him leave of
absence on this occasion. Mr. Bridger I know from
hearsay to be a respectable person, and have given
him leave to visit him, and should have done so
now if asked.
At this stage of the proceedings the usual certifi-
cate of burial was given by the Coroner, and shortly
afterwards, it being 11 o'clock, the inquest was ad-
journed to the following evening, at 7 o'clock.
CAPTURE OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER.
Superintendent Parnell, of the Midhurst police,
apprehended John Cleary, the soldier, the supposed.
murderer of James Outon, near Coultershall-mill, a
few miles from Petworth, at 7 o'clock in the even-
ing of Thursday, the 17th inst. He had his uni-
form on when captured, which was not done
without difficulty. He was brought to Chichester
and lodged in the city gaol the Same evening.

THE SUN.
LONDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 19, 1861.

Every now and then, one meets with a pedant
who, in conversation, pulls you up for using a word
inconsistently with its etymology—" atonement"
must mean at-one-ment, and merchantman a man
who is a merchant—and for both these asser-
tions he will appeal to the infallible authority of
our " venerable translation of the Scriptures."
All we can do is to get away to another part
of the room as soon as we decently can, and
pity those who cannot manage to escape. Since
the time, however, of the English SoLomoN, we
have not been bored with a pedant on the throne;
that nuisance seems to be reserved for that great
maritime Power of the future, Prussia. A
Prussian SOLOMON has at last ascended the
throne—unhappily, like the English SOLOMON,
only in his antiquated pedantry, not in his aversion
to bloodshed. It was the same WILLIAM 1., who,
as Crown Prince, after joining the despots in 1849
in putting down the German Parliament, shot by
the score, in cold blood, the officers and soldiers of
the garrison of Rastadt, which had surrendered
trusting unhesitatirgly to his honour. That honour
was satisfied by awarding them a soldier's death ;
an honour conferred not only on soldiers, but on
Professors and Mathematicians who preferred a
German Parliament to the unqualified absurdity of
government by right divine.
We have little doubt his Majesty would repeat
the same process with great pleasure if opportunity
offered, which, however, is not very likely ; nations
having learned a quieter way of puzzling their
despotic masters, and saving them the pleasure of
shooting their patriots. So, this KING by the
grace of bullets, takes to lecturing the country on
his "Kingship by the grace of GOD." The two are
no doubt perfectly compatible. The bullet is King
WILLIAM'S God. He holds his throne by virtue of
it. But for the bullet, he would never have deli-
vered his lecture yesterday on Grace. He would
have had, at least, to have given quite another turn
to his homily Royal. He would have had the re-
presentatives of a really constitutional kingdom to
address, and the interpretation of the old formula
must have been the same which constitutional
countries put upon it. We, in England, retain the
formula, but we know what we understand
by it, and so do our monarchs ; and since
JAMES 11. bid farewell to the shores of
our island, no sovereign has challenged
his subjects by explaining to them that the
crown was GOD'S gift to him, not theirs. Woe
to the Ministry that dared to advise such a
speech, perhaps to the monarch who dared to
deliver it.

How the old formula first came into vogue
we are not antiquarians enough to know with
certainty. We only know that it is quite a per-
version of the famous passage of the Apostle
PAUL which has been the stock quotation of all
the Divine Right school from the time when
that miserable dogma began. The Apostle, guile-
less of any design beyond that of wishing the few
Christians of the time to bear with patience the
rule of such heathen governors as might anywhere
exist, merely pointed out that like earthquakes
and storms, they were ordained by GOD, and that,
at the worst, the ordination of Government dis-
couraged evil doers and encouraged the good. It
was no part of PAUL'S doctrine, however, that the
CALIGULAS and NERDS of the Roman Empire ruled
by the " Grace of GOD." He, like all sensible
men of his time, must have regarded them as the
scourge of GOD rather ; as the indications of his
anger rather than of his favour; of the grace or
favour he certainly said, as he certainly thought,
nothing.

We confess, therefore, to something like a shock
at such solemn public profanity and Pharisaism
combined as that of the King of PRUSSIA. Who
told him that he is a gift of GoD's favour to the
Prussians ? Is he inspired ? His de facto succes-
sion to the crown, we may believe to be of Divine
ordination, in the same sense as that of Loins
NAPOLEON'S to the throne of Prance, or that of the
e' King of the Cannibal Islands" to his honours ; but we must be excused from taking the word of
the man who murdered, by the mummery of courts
martial, the patriots of 1849, that he is any special
Divine blessing to the loyal Prussians. He is as
good a king; as they deserve we doubt not.

following it, that is, of course, quite another

question.

The first King of PRUSSIA and the first NAPO-
LEON acted, no doubt, like sensible men in
putting the crown on their own heads ; so far,
every despotic monarch would make his' actions
and the faots agree. King WILLIAM crowned
himself, and rightly enough, since, at the head of
a large army, his "right there was none to dis-
pute." But, to our thinking, had he taken the
crown from a drumhead, it would have been more
in keeping than to have taken it from the altar,
and then proceeding to ex-pound his humility in so
doing. A really strange kind of humility this !
The humility of first declaring himself Heaven's
favourite, and then, for that reason, a despot !
a man whom his people might advise, but who
was responsible to GOD, not to them ! Those
religious sects who believe themselves Heaven's
special favourites, have, in the eyes of others, not
been remarkable for " humility," but rather for
intolerable and profane self-conceit ; and why
Kings who hold the same notion should not be
remarkable for the same vice, it is hard to say.
In the present case there can be little room for
doubt. The humble King 'who thanks GOD that
he is not as other men are, but a special Heavenly
favour to his kingdom, makes it the ground of the
most selfish and worldly ambition—that of being an
absolute monarch,

To Englishmen the country which has to put up
with all this mingled charlatanry, meditevalism,
royal arreganee, and profane mockery of the Deity,
itself, to sanction their political enslavement, is a
humbled country. The better, however, they like
it, so much the lower do they sink in the scale of
nations. Ask any Englishman at this day which
stands highest in his regard—Hungary or Prussia
—he will give three cheers for the Hungarians►
at the mention of Prussia he will be unable to
restrain a sneer. Think of Hungarians allowing
a King to lecture them in the style assumed by the
Prussian King ! Even the Emperor of AUSTRIA
himself would hardly venture on that, he would be
sure enough of receiving another of those un-
manageable missives from the pen of M. DEAK, of
which he desires, to receive as few as possible. We
quite expect to see the Prussians take it all as
meekly as possible. What care they, so long as
they can smoke, and drink, and speculate, and
philosophise, and sing their national air, " I am a
Prussian !" on which, after the Coronation, an
Englishman's or Hungarian's remark would cer-
tainly be—" And rather you than I."

A few useful hints may be taken from Mr.
EWART'S retrospect of the last Parliamentary
session, in his recent speech to his constituents.
The honourable gentleman is one of the most prac-
tical and laborious and steady-going among our
representatives. He is not often idle himself during
session, nor is he ready in any way to connive at
the idleness of others. 'Whenever he speaks in the
House of Commons—not always the case this with
those who take part in its discussions—he has some-
thing to say ! Generally he has some very useful or
thoughtful proposition to make in regard to what
is just then before the House—a suggestion always,
whatever may be its particular advisability under
the circumstances—at any rate worth looking into.
He labours assiduously whenever he has the chance
of doing so upon committees. He is almost invariably,
we may say—we are tempted even to say he is in-
variably in favour of the most liberal and enlight-
ened views, whether in reference to details or in
respect to generalities. All things considered,
therefore, it is by no means likely to prove waste of
time to note what Mr. EwART has to say about a
dead and gone session of Parliament—knowing
well that his design is to derive as much as possible
from the retrospect in the way of light that may
guide us onwards judiciously into the future, ena-
bling
us to pick our steps, so to speak, wisely and
well among the pitfalls prepared, according to
wont, for the next session of Parliament.

Now, for example : might not the Irish members
wisely take a very useful hint, indeed, from one
passing'remark made by the member for Dumfries to
his constituents, as to a habit there is in vogue
among the Scotch members, of which group of
" canny " representatives Mr. EWART is one. He had
just enumerated some of the lost and won Scotch mea
sures of last session when this suggestive intimation
was quite casually thrown out. He reminded his
hearers that to many of the bills introduced by
the Lord-Advocate he had given his cordial sup-
port, some of those bills not, however, being suc-
cessful : the Road Bill fell by the wayside," said
Mr. EWART, "and the Salmon Fisheries Bill was
lost in the troubled waters of legislature ; but some
did -survive--for instance, the School Bill, the
County Registration Bill, and others. To the
School Bill," the honourable gentleman observed,
" he had rejoiced to give his support, wishing to bet-
ter the condition of the schoolmasters of Scotland,
' but he did not think the bill went far enough. The
County Registration Bills were also supported by
him." Now came that casual intimation which we
cannot but regard as suggestive of a very useful
hint to the Irish Representatives. Mr. EWART
remarking, in effect, that "The Scotch members
had a very practical way of settling their subjects of
legislation," and then adding, " The Irish mem-
bers were very fond of making long speeches, and
sometimes, he might say, not very quiet or com-
posed or collected; but the Scotch members assem-
bled and held a kind of Scotch Parliament; they
discussed their measures before they were introduced
into the House of Commons, and then they were
generally passed unanimously." Might not the
Irish members ad henceforth upon this hint ? Or,
do they shrink from the mere experiment, that
Happy Family !—fearful, it may be, of the tragical
fate of the Kilkenny cats ?
Another and a totally different theme touched
upon by Mr. EWART, in his recent address to his
Dumfries constituency, is, we conceive, especially
entitled to consideration. Reference is here made
to his comments upon that important Committee of
last session upon which the hon. gentleman was
himself engaged, the Committee which it was
hoped might have done so much towards the facili-
tation of the business of the country in the Com-
mons House of Parliament. The member for Dum-
fries reminded his hearers that, in regard to the
labours entrusted to that Committee, he had himself
ventured to make a " proposition which he hoped
would be acceded to, and he thought it would—
that one night in the week of the time of the House
of Commons might be devoted to the serious busi-
ness of the country—that is, that one night in the
week might be given to the public estimates, which
was perhaps the most important public business they
had to transact. He hoped," he said, " that they
might see more rational hours in the House of Corn-
mons, and, as with other labouring men there are
, fixed hcurs in which they begin and terminate
their labours, be hoped the same might be the case
in the house of Commons, and that they would see
