SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 21st have arrived in
due course. This opinion appeared to be gaining
ground that Queen Christina would not visit Ma-
drid on the re!ca.s'on of the reigning Quo _n's ac-
couchment. The Minlsterial journals represent the
situation of the tre Bury as most satisfactory, as, in
addition to GO millions ju-t paid to the Mires loan,
22 others were shortly to be received from Porto
Rico, arising from old money lately called in. The
Government were taking steps to have regular sta-
tistical Mums sent in on various subjects of in-
terest from every [art of the kingdom. The wea-
ther continued fine, and the price of flour and corn
was beginning at last to give way at Madrid.

The Tuscan Monitore continues to give an ac-
count of the visit of the Pope to various churches,
convents, and other remarkable places at Florence,

At Pavia four exlesiastics renowned for their
erudition, morality, and charity, having bean thus
placed under ban, the people bacame incensed, and
tore down the placards announcing the excommuni-
cation of these men.

The Moniteur contains the official announcement
conferring the g and cross of L-gi(,n of Honour on

"The constitution submitted by the Dani,th

"When Mirzi Aga, the Sadrazan or Prime Minister
of the Shah, visited Mr. Murray on his arrival at
Teheran, the latter complained tha the Persian Govern-
ment had not only not evacuated Herat, but had rein-
forced the garrison of that city, although Englind had
fulfilled all the conditions of the treaty. The Sadrazin
rep'ied that as Prince Murad Mirza had repeatedly re-
fused to quit Herat, troops bad been sent to force !lira
to do so. Mr. Murray wal dissat'sfied v.ith the answer,
and peremptorily demanded the immediate evbalation
of Herat and the withdrawal of the army commanded
by Murad Mirza from its precincts."

A. BUTCHER OF A BOY—MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—
Harry Butcher, a boy of rough appearance, only 9 yea's
of age, and residing with his parents at No. 6, White.
horse-court, White-horse-lane, Stepney, was brought
before Mr. Yardley, charged with committing a violent
assault on Edward Barber' a lad about 10 years of age.
The complainant, who had received a severe wound
on the right side of his face, which was covered with a
surgical plaister, and whose clothes were stiffened with
gore, said he "as passing along Spring-garden-placer
Stepney, with his brother, who was carrying a basket
containing glas., when their passage was interrupt, d by
the prisoner, and he said to him, " Get out of the way.
The prisoner, instead of doing so, swore at him, and
gave him a smack with his band. He hit the boy
slightly, and he fell down. He pursued bis.way with
his brother, and had almost forgotten having met with
the prisoner, when he received a tremendous blow from
a large stone hurled at him, and was stunned. Hie face
was cut open, and he lost a large quantity of blood, and
had since been under medical treatment. The prisoner
was the boy who hurled the stone at his head. The
stone weighed at least 10 pounds.
Mr. Yardley—Why what a passionate little savage
the prisoner must be.

Henry Barber, a tall youth about 18 years of ages
confirmed the statement of his brother, and said that on
seizing the prisoner he made a violent attack upon h? ,
hit him and kicked him, and then, with great dexterity,
put his head under his (witness's) person, and threw him
heavily. A basket containing one dozen and seven
dram glasses, ordered by a publican, were all broken.
Mr. Yardley, addres,4ing the mother of the prisoner,
said—Do you see what a little savage this Eon of yours
has proved himself ? How have you educated this lite°
ruffian ?

The mother, who sobbed loudly, said—We keep him
in a good school, sir—he is the eldest but one.

Mr. Yardley said ho could inflict a very heavy fine
on the prisoner fpr committing such an unprovoked ar
sault, but he would leave him in the hands of his parentst
if they promised to chastise him, and make compensation,
to the two youths for the injury sustained by one, and
the loss of the glass by the other.

Mrs. Butcher said she would gladly pay anything. „
Mr. Yardley—Very well, mind you do. It you don t
make sufficient compensation to these two lath, I will
issue a summons against your perverse and savage boy.

which prove that it is not entitled to such high
authority as was claimel on its behalf. It is
virtuall7 the report of half the Commissioners
"IY, Ten members had been originally appointed,
vb.tle but six affixed their names to the report,
'.ti of these one, Sir DE LACY EVANS, signed a
Preite,t, and declared his intention to send a sepa-
1, 4te report, through the chairman, embodying
PIS Opinion.
The Right Hon. E. ELLICE also
avowed that be would
prepare a separate report
in hi own name and that of Sir H. BENTINCK
and General WyrusAßD ; while CA WETHERELL,
remaining Commissioner, is on duty in China,
from whence his opinion may be obtained before
the next session. The matter is then clearly
still altogether unsettled, and the weight of evi-
dence must be fully and maturelyconsidered
before the country can consent to begin at the

PRIOR OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 5 per mille premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.20 par 1/ sterling. On comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d per
ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly
4 10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per
.mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.38 per 1/.
sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is
nearly 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than
in London. The course of exchange at New York on
London for bills. at 60 days' sight is 1094 per cent
which, when compared with the Mint par between the
two countries, shows that the exchange is alight'y
in favour of England ; and, after making allowance ft r
charges of transport and difference of tnterest, the pre-
sent rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of
gold from the United States.
SEttious Fine IN HOLBORN,—Last night a fire of a
fearful character, and attended with the destruction of
some thousand pounds' worth of property, Kapp. nel in
Holborn-hill, near the bridge. Tee premises in which
the disaster commenced belonged to Mr. Granville,
gun and pistol manufacturer, No. 44, and the building
was flanked on one side by the premises belonging to
Mr. Ulltner, patent press-maker, and Mr. J. 0. Prycr,
a stationer, while the entire row of houses in Bartlett's•
buildings and five or six others in Kieg's.head-court
abutted upon those of Mr. Granville; The whole of the
lofty pile of-Mr. Granville's gun factory was totally con•
armed, those of Mr. Ulmer partly destroyed, those of
Mr. Pryor seriously itjured by fire, water, and hasty
removal ; while the damage done to the property in
Bartlett's-buildings and H'ing'e-bead-court is verrgreat.

and for which former prices have been obtained. Refiner?
produce still meets with a good demand, especially for all fine
and middling qualities, and prices are fully as dear; hut pieces
and treacle arc rather dull of s do. In rum we are without

SECRETARY.—Homo Greenfield, Esq.
Otrees of the Company-44, Moorgate-street, City, E.C.
ij 1'44 Company is established with a view to afford the pub-
e increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers,
Specie,
and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and
e ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, &e.
Inttraffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered
o with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan-
jge°u° terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera-
ion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway Com-
pany, and the other inland navigation and railway establish.
ofnts in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced
the advantages to be derived from this line of communica-
tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the
eedY conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods, that
they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to
the fullest possible extent.
The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway,
alld its port is the most convenient for direct communication
between London and all the great seaports in Holland and
telgium, and thenca to the northern and central parts of the
continent of Europe.

Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich,
Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish• Railway, will effect a
s'aving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles;
the line from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of corn-
' I)letion without a break.
The harbour of Norwich is safe, commodious, and easy of
• access in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages
Vhich no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of
the Humber.
Ey the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and
delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth
of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time
is effected to Harnburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10
to 11 hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the
!y)rthern parts of Europe is for hors and a quarter less by
Harwich and Rotterdam thanu thatu by Dover and Ostend, as
per tabular statement, and thus the former must become the
direct route of postal communication.

ARCTIC EXPEDITION MEDALS.

Admiral WALCOTT asked the First Lord of the
Admiralty whether, as it was believed some objection
seemed to be made to granting clasps to those who were
to receive the Arctic Expedition medals according to the
number of times they had served in the Polar Regions,
he would have any objection to have the number of times
stamped on the bar of the medal in lieu of clasps.
Sir C. WOOD said that since the announcement of
granting an Arctic medal applications were made for
medals for the Antarctic expedition, and also for the
Niger expedition, which the Government had no inten-
tion to give. A. gallant ufficer had called on the Admi-
ralty, and inquired if a medal and bars were to be given
for each voyage and number of years, because
if so, he was entitled to nine medals and
20 chaps. He (Sir C. Wood) thought the Govern-
ment bad gone too far towards diminishing the value of
medals—(bear, hear)—and thought the case of this offi-
cer a reductio ad absurdum, and that to give so many
medals to one person would be ridiculous. The Go-
-1 vernment had decided on only giving one medal irre-
spective of the number of voyages or years engaged.
EDUCATION (SCOTLAND).
Mr. E. LOCKHART asked the Lord Advocate if he
had any intention to introduce a measure on the sub-
ject of education in Scotland, or for regulating the sa-
laries of the parish schoolmasters 1

The LORD-ADVOCATE said he could not give a
definite answer till Monday.
DESTITUTE SOLDIERS' WIVES AND
• FAMILIES.

In reply to Sir J. TYBBELL,
Mr. PEEL said he hoped to be able to produce Gen.
Gascoigne's report relative to the destitution of soldiers'
wives and families at Colchester on Monday.
COMMISSARIAT STORES—SARDINIA.

Ln'd WILLIAM GRAHAM asked the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, whether he would lay on the table a re-
turn of the amount repaid *by the Sardinian Government
for Commissariat Stores supplied during the war ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the question was still under adjustment. The
account claimed by this country from the Sardinian Go-
vernment was 17,0001. ; Sardinia admitted 15,0001. The
difference of 2,0001. was still under consideration.
THE IRISH CONSTABULARY.

Mr. CONOLLY asked the Chief Secretary for Ire-
land whither it was the intention of the Government to
bring in a bill for the re-distribution of the Irish consta•
bnlary with reference to the area and population of the
counties of Ireland ?
Mr. HORSMAN said it was the intention of the
Government to bring in such a measure this session.
