SPAIN.

Rumours respecting the chances of various candidates
for the Spanish throne are still very prevalent, but in most
cases there is not the slightest appearance of fact to sup-
port them. The most important—though it is strangely
at variance with other statements—is given by the
Paris correspondent of the Independance Beige. This
writer sa3 s the Provisional Government is unanimous in
supporting the candidature of King Ferdinand of
Portugal. General Prim, before his departure from
England, entered into an agreement on this subject with
the British Government—with the view, on the one hand
of promoting an Iberian Union, and on the other of
strengthening British influence in the Peninsula. Against
this report must be opposed the most positive affirmations
that King Ferdinand would have nothing to do with the
Spanish crown.
A month of peace and perfect order at Madrid is pro-
ducing a good effect. Business begins to be carried on,
not as before, but much more actively. The various trades
are resuming operations. But some difficulty is ex-
perienced in the case of those destitute workmen
who were employed upon public works just after
the success of the Revolution. As they were
starving, and as it was made a condition of their em-
ployment that they should give up the arms that were
first served out to them, the measure was prudent. But
uow they prefer the certainty of public labour to serving
under private employers. The municipal authorities are
taking steps to ascertain the names of all those who have
left private establishments, in order that the directors of
public works may refuse employment to them.
General Dulce is to take a strong force with him to Cuba.
Four vessels of war are being fitted out, and troops are to
be sent to replace those stationed at Porto Rico by General
Lersundi.

The Spanish Finance Minister has decided upon a most
radical reform of the tariff. Duty is now paid upon no
less than 2,000 articles. This number is to be reduced to
150, and all port dues are to be abolished, so that foreign
vessels can come and go perfectly free. Senor Figuerola
is a strict adherent to the principles of free trade.

JAPAN.

All hope of enrolling Japan in the list of what are
termed civilised nations has vanished for the present.
Japan prefers a civilisation of its own, which is an
ingenious combination of the state of affairs sup-
posed to exist in Mexico and Fiji. It is a civilisation
of the civil-war, ambassador-insulting, Christian-hunting,
general-anarchy type. A Prussian Charge d'Affaires has
been stopped by soldiers in one of the Japanese towns,
and his servant compelled to prostrate himself in the dust
before some native magnate. This is the first time a
representative of Prussia has met with such treatment in
Japan, but the representatives of other countries have
previously received similar compliments. If the Japanese
agree to treat foreign nations in this fashion, it is possible
that the chief Governments may come to a unanimous
decision on their part.

AUSTRIA.

The Archbishop of Olmutz will not acknowledge the
authority of the civil tribunal which has condemned him
for publishing manifestoes against the new laws. For this
" contempt of court " he has been mulcted in several fines,
not one of which has been paid. They amount in all to
£2,000. This is a mere trifle to the prelate, who is rich,
and manages to combine trade and religious duties in the
most successful manner. He is building a sugar refinery
and a great steam flour mill, and is thinking of going into
the brickmaking line.

OPENING OF 7HE NETV CATHOLIC
CHURCH OF 87. BEES, TVHITEHAVEN.

(From the Whitehaven Herald.)
This church, which was solemnly opened on
Thursday last, is perhaps one of the most striking
buildings which has yet been reared in England for
Catholic purposes. Its conception is altogether
bold and novel. Some might say that it set at de-
fiance what has been hitherto considerel a funda-
mental principle of Gothic architecture, viz., the
multiplication, and not. the magnifying of parts. Be
this as it may, it is a great success, and both within
and without bears evidence of treatment upon which
few would have dared to venture, and which in
the hands of any but a man conscious of his own
power would inevitably have proved a failure.
The building is 124 feet long by GO wide, and
61 feet high. It is constructed entirely of Walk
Mill stone with Birkham stone dressings, both
supplied from quarries in the immediate neigh-
bourhood. The doors are of oak, and the tym-
panum of the doorway is carved with figures of our
Divine Lord blessing St. Bees.
The builder of this very beautiful edifice is our
townsman, Mr. Cousins, who may well be proud of
his work. He has carried out most intelligently
and carefully, in all their elaboration and fitness of
detail, the designs of the architect, Mr. E. IVelby
Pugin.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN PERU.

A despatch from her Majesty's Minister at Peru to
Lord Stanley reports the progress that has been made in
relieving the sufferers by the late earthquake. There is
now abundance of food and uther necessaries at the
various towns which have been injured ; what is most
required is a supply of material for- the construction of
temporary dwellings. The trembling of the earth still
continued, and in many places another disaster was
expected. The destruction has been so universal, that
years must elapse before the loss is repaired. It is thought
the building of Arequipa will require a century. Who
will be so bold as to live there when it is rebuilt?

TRADE AIAIcKS.

We gather from a Birmingham paper a few facts
as to a piece of impudence in the noedle trade
which rises to the sublime. Messrs. W. Bartlett
and Sons, the eminent Redditch needle-makers, have
suffered greatly by the wretched imitations of their
goods under cover of labels purported to be issued
by them. The other day they received a packet of
these labels, an exact imitation of theirs, from a Prus-
sian firm, and with it came the following letter :
" Having given up the manufactory of needles since
several years, we have still a quantity of labels with [of]
your firm, which, before the Commercial Treaty with.
Prussia, we were allowed to use, and which we did
according to the orders of our customers. We
enclose a few labels, and would ask you if you are
inclined to take them at one-third the cost price."
Let all other rogues stand abashed before this
unexampled piece of rascality, and impudence, and
acknowledge their masters in the enterprising
Prussians.

ROBBING READY FURNISHED LODGINGS.-.-Her_
man Lordes, a German, of No. 4, Stanley-place,
Sandy-end, Fulham, was brought before Mr.
Paget, charged with stealing eight sheets, two
white counterpanes, 10 towels, one stuff dress,
12 yards of gingham, and a black shawl, the
property of John Muller and Catherine Muller,
his wife, of No. 175, Cable-street, Whitechapel.
The prisoner lodged for some time in the house
of the Mullers, and a few weeks ago he suddenly
disappeared, and the articles mentioned disap-
peared with him. He was subsequently arrested in
Fulham, and pawnbrokers' duplicates relating to a
portion of the stolen property found upon him.
Two paWnbrokers' assistants produced the pro-
perty, and Mrs. Muller identified it. The prisoner
was living in her home in June last.
The prisoner, in defence, said that a sheet, which
Mrs. Muller identified, was pawned before he left her
house. During part of the time he lo•lged in the
house he had charge of it. There were eleven other
lodgers in the house, and all of them went out early
in the morning.
Mr. rapt committed the prisoner for trial.

THE STATE OF TEXAS.

The Hon. Reverdy Johnson writes to refute a descrip-
tion of the social state of Texas given by the Daily News
New York correspondent. This writer bad declared that
society in Texas was dissolved, except in one or two of the
large towns. The whole country is in the hands of
mobs, who murder and burn houses at their will. The
only safety is to be found inside the quarters of the Federal
troops. This state of affairs is described as chronic : "Things
were as bad as this during the war, and not much better
before it." The American Ambassador, on the other hand,
says these assertions are unfounded. " That there are
acts of violence in that State is no doubt true, but not
more, I believe, than occur in either of the other States, or
in any other country." Mr. Johnson adds that the infor-
mation he received on this point is thoroughly trustworthy.
The importance of this question lies in its bearing upon
emigration ; the Daily News correspondent recommending
no one to go to Texas, and the Ambassador holding that
emigrants arc as safe there as anywhere else. The Daily
News supports its correspondent in some editorial remarks,
in which the opinion is expressed that Texas is the most
lawless and barbarous country in the world where the
pretence of civilisation is kept up. It is very desirable
that the truth of this matter of fact should be known.
That the condition of the Southern States is generally de-
plorable, and that Texas has usually been accounted one
of the worst, is certain. But the lion. Reverdy Johnson
ought to know,

1111SCELLANEOLIS
TITT FORTIICO3IING STRIFE.

Signs indicating the violence of the approaching
election battle have not been wanting in various parts
of the country, but to the borough of Lambeth must
be awarded the honour of commencing the fight in
real earnest. As much hr.s been said upon the lead-
ing political questions of the day as is pcasible with-
out painful repetition ; and the Lambeth electors
assembled at Peckham would have no further dis-
cussion, but unfurled the banners of war. The
different placards of the many candidates were hoisted,
end round them rallied their several supporters.
Men fought and held each other with the tenacity of
bulldogs ; they rolled over each other, smashed the
chairs, and tore the placards to fragments. First the
banner of Mr. PArthur was victorious ;. the next
minute it was trodden under foot. Then Morgan
Howard's bill was defiantly raised, and the battle
became general. It had until this time been waged
only between the respectable tradesmen of the
borough, but now the roughs joined in, and increased
the excitement considerably. The meeting had been
called in favour of Mr.- Littler, but that gentleman's
insignificance merged from the comparative to the
superlative, and so, seeing that all was lost but
honour, he retreated into an anteroom, surrounded
by his body-guard. For ten minutes more the
battle raged, until some one turned out the gas and
brought the engagement to an end. The contest
was then without light," as it had previously been
without " sweetness."

A WELL-DRESSED SCAMP.--A gentlemanly-look-
ing well-dressed young man, who gave the name of
Alexander Shann, and appeared about 25 years of
age, was charged with robbing lodging-houses
where he had gone under the pretence of looking
for apartments.
On Tuesday fortnight the prisoner went to the
house of Mrs. Wood, 6, St. Holbrake-terrace, St.
John's-hill, New Wandsworth, and inquired about
rooms for himself and his daughter, a little girl at
school. He was shown them, and while Mrs. Wood
went down into the kitchen to get a pen and ink he
went up stairs again, and was met coming down by
Mrs. Wood. The excuse he made was that he went
up to look for a book-case to put his books in. Di-
rectly he went a gold watch ancliehain, value £12,.
were missei, and he was not seen again until in-
custody.
He was not so fortunate at 3, Montpelier-square,
Brompton, the house of Mr. Morier, on Wednesday
week. He was shown over the rooms, stating he
had come from India, and while upstairs a watch
was taken out of a drawer. lie was detained in
the drawing room, and after a policeman was
fetched the watch was found by the servant on the
drawing room shelf. It was not there when he
entered the house, but in one of the bedrooms he
had visited. At the station he refused his name
and address.
He was remanded till Tuesday.

THAMES.

ROBBING READY FURNISHED LODGINGS.—Her-
man Lordes, a German, of No. 4, Stanley-place,
Sandy-end, Fulham, was brought before Mr.
Paget, charged with stealing eight sheets, two
white counterpanes, 10 towels, one stuff dress,
12 yards of gingham, and a black shawl, the
property of John Muller and Catherine Muller,
his wife, of No. 175, Cable-street, Whitechapel.
The prisoner lodged for some time in the house
of the Mullers, and a few weeks ago he suddenly
disappeared, and the articles mentioned disap-
peared with him. He was subsequently arrested in
Fulham, and pawnbrokers' duplicates relating to a
portion of the stolen property found upon him.
Two pawnbrokers' assistants produced the pro-
perty, and Mrs. Muller identified it. The prisoner
was living in her house in June last.
The prisoner, in defence, said that a sheet, which
Mrs. Muller identified, was pawned before he left her
house. During part of the time he lodged in the
house he had charge of it. There were eleven other
lodgers in the house, and all of them went out early
in the morning.

➢ir. Paget committed the prisoner for trial.

THE INSECURITY OF OUR PRISONS(

Mr. C. P. Measor writes to the Star on the subject
of the security of our prisons. The case of John
Simpson—who escaped so neatly some time back
from the Hull prison by turning wooden spoons into
keys, and by a clever arrangement of string—seems
to have startled Mr. Measor. The security of every
prison, he thinks, should be above suspicion. "To
keep ahead of the science of prison desperadoes, by
the adoption of the best inventions in locks, is as
necessary as to replace our old rifle by the Snider, to
retain Whit Worths and Armstrongs only until better
guns present themselves, and to supplant our
wooden walls by ironclad frigates." And yet there
is only one gaol in England—the new prison of Sal-
ford—which is supplied throughout with locks which
are impervious to any attempt of the professional
locksmith burglar. It is certainly necessary that
everything possible should be done to make
our prisoners something more than " tenants at
will." But it is the man rather than the mechanism,
the warder rather than the lock, in which we must
trust for the safety of those confined

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. The Right Hon. Robert
Lowe is now the only candidate in the field for this con-
stituency. Mr. Quain, Q.C., has retired, intimating, as
we understand, to his supporters, that in the present crisis
of public affairs he considers it inexpedient to embark in a
contest which would be likely to create division and dis-
union in the Liberal ranks.

GREENIVICIL—Viscount Mahon, son of Earl Stanhope,
of Chevening Park, Sevenoaks, Kent, has come forward in
the Conservative interest in conjunction with Sir H.
Watson Parker.

EAST SUBREL—At a meeting of the Conservatives on
Monday night, Mr. Hardman, who comes forward with
Mr. Lord, in opposition to Messrs. Locke King and C.
Buxton, said he believed that Mr. Gladstone in promoting
the disestablishment of the Irish Church, " was acting as
the conscious emissary of Archbishop Manning and of
Rome." Mr. Lord endorsed this opinion.
NOTTINGHAM.—Mr. Osborne addressed a great gather-
ing in the Exhibition building on Monday night, about
6,000 persons being present. He referred to the fact that
lie had offered to submit his claims to such men as Mr.
Bright, Mr. Morley, and Mr. Milner Gibson, but without
success. He would submit to no local clique, and now
appealed to the hustings, the only constitutional place of
appeal.

SHREWSBURY.—A second Conservative candidate l(r
6hrewsbury has appeared in the field. Mr. Dough s
Straight, barrister, will, with Alderman Figgie s, contest
the borough against the sitting members, Messrs. Tumlino
and Clement.

DUBLIN CITY.—A great meeting of the Liberal party
was held at the Rotundo on Monday, to support the can-
didature of Mr. Pim and Sir Dominic Corrigan. Both
Mr. Pim and Sir Dominic were most enthusiastically
received. A !Ater was read from Cardinal Cullen ex-
pressing his approval of the adoption of Mr. Pim and Sir
D. Corrigan by the Liberal party.
FALKIRK BURGHS. -- Mr. Horsman, whose scat at
Stroud has long been considered insecure, will stand for
Falkirk at the general election, in opposition to the sitting
member, Mr. Merry, who, like the right bon. gentleman,
Is a Liberal.

ARTILLERY DRILL.

Major-General Warde, the commander of the
Woolwich district, sends to the Mlles an answer to
the criticisms which have lately appeared as to the
training which artillerymen are at present receiving.
It is complained that the time which should be
devoted to the study of the gun is used in instructing
the men in infantry drill, which they do not require.
Major-General Warde, however, asserts that they do
require to learn the evolutions of infantry. At
any rate they are the better for it. Further, " a
proper course of instruction in the ordinary field
movements of a battalion need not of necessity in the
slightest degree interfere with the garrison artillery-
man obtaining a full and practical knowledge of the
complex and essential duties of his own particular
arm." Major Warcle admits, indeed, that the
infantry drill is in many cases imposed too often ;
but he argues that this is an abuse. Surely no one
advocates the total abolition of infantry drill, except
on the ground that it interferes with other and more
necessary exercises. If it can be so arranged as not
`)) do so, all objection to it will cense.

EcTIMIDATION.

"An Elector of the Borough of Hackney" states
that some of the assessed tax collectors are using
their influence in canvassing the voters of the
borough in the most open manner in favour of Mr.
Butler, one of the Liberal candidates, who is sup-
posed to be the nominee of the parochial authorities.
He says their conduct amounts almost to intimida-
tion. We shouldbe inclined totlaink thatatax-collector
canvassing for votes is a decided act of intimida-
tion, and if these officials are not amenable to the
law as it stands, they ought to answer for their con-
duct to the proper authorities, who have power to
control their action. For some reason, which will
be tolerably well known to the needy householder,
and which is likely to have considerable weight in
such a borough as Hackney, the tax-collector has no
small influence. His influence does not arise from
love, or the master of the house would not be so often
" not at home" when the great man calls ; but the
influence of fear is very powerful, and might consti-
tute an important element in an election.
Mr. H. F. Beaumont, the present Liberal M.P. for
the West Riding of Yorkshire, and one of the
Liberal candidates for the southern division of that
Riding, is possessed of estates in the neighbourhood
of Huddersfield, over the management of which Mr.
Thomas Dunderdale presides as agent. The tenants
are supposed generally to entertain Conservative
opinions. One of them received a letter as follows : " I
think it may be as well if you do not take an activepart
against your own landlord atthe forthcoming election."
It is signed "T. Dunderdale." The Globe and the
Daily News bandy compliments about this case, the
former taunting the Liberals with it, the other paper
remarking that it is always ready to denounce intimi-
dation on both sides, and that the Tory papers are
specially vicious about a Liberal faux pas. It will be
in the interests of both parties to denounce bribery
and intimidation on which ever side they arise, and
discard the to quoque.

THE BISHOP

OX SLAVERY.

The Bishop or Oxford spoke at the annual meeting of
the Universities' Mission to Central Africa, held at
Liverpool on Monday. At the close of a long and elo-
quent address, the right rev. prelate observed : One of the
objections put forward to the Universities' Mission was that
because great difficulties, great disappointments, and deep
sorrow had attended its first movements, therefore they
had better abandon the thing and give it up in despair.
Now he maintained that that was an absolute want of
faith. When had there ever been anything done
for God, as to which he did not test the faithfulness
of those who set about doing it by bringing them into the
winter of adversity, in order at once to try and to per-
fect their trust? He thought there were reasons why
they should expect difficulties in the beginning of this
work. They should remember that the efforts of
Britain for the conversion of Africa was not a mere
thanks offering, but rather an expression of true penitence
for misdoing. They saw the great cause of the suffer-
ing of Africa at the present moment in the miserable
demoralisation wrought by the accursed slave trade.
Who had been the principal abettors and foxuentors of
that trade, but we, the people of England? It should be
remembered that mere sorrow for the past was not repent-
ance. True repentance was in trying to make amends for
the wrong that had been done. His lordship resumed his
seat amid loud applause.
