SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived.
The Epoca says that M. Martinez de la Rosa, in an
interview with the Queen, had laboured to con-
vince her Majesty that her dynasty and literal in
stitutions are inseparable ; and that Admiral
Armero, who was present, said the same thing. The
same journal says that the first act of Queen Isabella,
after receiving the oaths of Admiral Amero
President of the Council, was to direct that a
criminal condemned to death at Vali-ncia
should have his sentence commuted. Three jour-
nalists, MM. Ulloa, Asquerino, and AsenciO, hail
waited on M. Bermudez de Castro, the new Civil
Governor of Madrid, and had represented to him
that several hundred citizens were detained in
prison without knowing why, and that it wai just
that they should be either brought to trial or libe-
rated. The Civil Governor, who received 'horn
with great urbanity, said that he would without
delay examine into the affair, and would render
justice. It was reported that the Duke de Valen-
cia (Narvaez) intended to take up his residence at
Loja or Bayonne ; other accounts say, however,
that he meant to go abroad. The Gazette an-
nounces that the Queen has entered the ninth month
of her pregnancy.

Intelligence from Cettinge of the 9th states that
the tribe of Wasojew has consented to pay tribute
to Turkey and to continue to do so in future. A sum
of 3,000 piastres, the first sum due, is to be remitted
to the Pacha of Scutari by the consul of France.
The Pacha on his part has consented not to send
Turkish authorities to reside amongst the tribe.
The dissension between the tribe and Turkey has
consequently been arranged without the shedding
of blood, which was at one time feared.

A letter from Vienna in the French Journal of
Frankfort says :—.‘ The circular despatch addre:s -d
by the Porte to its diplomatic agents has drawn
forth a reply from our cabinet to the Porte, which
has been communicated to thh powers which signed
the treaty of Parts. In this document Austria
maintains her policy, which is already known."

A letter from Cattaro of the 7th says :—" Prince
Danilo has, in virtue of a resolution of the Senate,
confiscated all the property of the convents, and
decided that the clergy shall be paid from the public
treasury. The Archimandrite of Cettinge, who is
a member of the Senate, persecutes the clergy with
such rigour that the Archimandrite of Ostrog has
fled from the country, and taken up his residence
in Russia."

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 30th ult.,
says :—" For some time past the great question
of the day, that of the emancipation of the serfs,
has been slumbering. What has alrea iy been done
in the matter is this :—" A superior committee,
consisting of members of the Councilof the Empire,
was formed to examine the question ; but it sepa-
rated without deciding anything. By order of the
Emperor it assembled anew in the mouth of July
last, and this time it appears its lab ,urs had a
result ; at all events, a ukase on the subject is
expected on the return of the Emperor."

The Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna says :—" Great
astonishment has been expressed at seeing a
Russian war steamer, the Ordinares, proceed up
Le Danube as far as Giurgevo, and a French one
as far as Tournou. It appears that France and
Russia wish to extend the freedom of navigation
of the Danube to vessels of war, but it is impossible
to COriceiva by what right vessels of the kind should
do so. The upper part of all rivers is naturally
neutral; it belongs to the States along whosa
banks it runs, and no foreign vessel of war has a
right to enter unless invited to do so by the express
will of the sovereign or suzerain."

It is stated in a Vienna letter, addresAed to tho
Correspondent of Nuremberg, that Prince Richard
de Metteruich, who is at present Austrian Minis-
ter at Dresden, is to be nominated to the embassy
at St. Petersburg.

THE CHRISTIANS AND THE NIUE-

S LMANS.

The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following
very exaggerated account of the sentiments en-er-
tabled by the Mussulmans of Asia Minor and Egypt
towards the Christian inhabitants of those c,un-
tries :

"It is not only in India that the Mabornetans are
arming themselves, for the armourers in all the cities and
towns of Asia Mini,r, Syria, and Egypt were never car-
rving on such an ,xi;ensive trade as they are at preset t.
All that is taking place at Calcutta under the eyes of the
G.,vernor-General of India, the European consuls see re.
peated at Smyrna, at Acre, at Alexandria, and else-
where. The most pacific Oriental-i, those even who are
not accustomed to handle arm:, are purchasing n-vol-
vers, and the Turk, the Syrian, and the Egypt-
tian make no secret of the motive which leads them lo
purchase the-,e weapons. One of our friends who is on
the spot states that something is in agitation among
the Mussulma.o population —something v. hich very
closely resembies the rising of the Mu'ealmans in India.
Europe deceives it-elf in imagining that any grattude is
f, It because the Western Pawers supported tho crescent
against the Greek en,. It is quite the contrary. The
hatred felt throughout th- East against Christians is un
bounded. It is in the strong,il terms of inclignati
that the events at Consiantinople are tall:ed of, and
the tauzimat is a subject of derision. Never has a
Christain obtained less justice or been more detested than
since the Christian states have declared theinsel yes the
protectors of the Mussulman."

the jury, after a con,ul-
- of more than an hour, returnedon Tuesday, and
the substance of whith appeared in our ,lurns3•es-
terday We find that Sarah Ann Harmer came to
her death in consequence of a collision on the South
Wales Railway, caused by the carelessness of Charles
White, the station-ma,ter at Stormy, in despatching.
contrary to his printed instructions, the down-passeriker
train on the up-line without waiting for an answer to
his telegraphic message, and in direct opposDion
positive orders received from Port Talbot. We there-
fore find the said Charles White guilty of manslaughter,
and that his statement that he received a subsequent
order to send the down-train on the up-line, is contrary
to evidence. We exonerate Henry Turner from blame,
but it would have been more de,irable if he had gone
to inquire for un before he started the up•trarl
We think there is evidence of can,ier,sne-s arid
tency in the telegraphic arrangements both at Port Ca'.
