SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived.
The Epoea 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 as
President of the Council, was to direct that a
criminal condemned to death at Valencia
should have his sentence commuted. Three jour-
nalists, MM. Ulloa, Asquerino, and Asencio, had
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 was just
that they should be either brought to trial or libe-
rated. The Civil Governor, who received them
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 addressed
by the Porte to its diplomatic agents has drawn
forth a reply from our cabinet to the Porte, which
has been communicated to the powers which signed
the treaty of Paris. 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 Council of 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 month 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
bhe Danube as far as Giurgevo, and a French one
as far as Tonrnou. 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 conceive by what right vessels of the kind should
do so. The upper part of all river.; is naturally
neutral; it belongs to the States along whose
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, addressed to the
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.

TIIE CHRISTIANS AND- THE MCE-
-21 IMANS.

The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following
very exaggerated account of the sentiments enter-
tained.by the Mussulmans of Asia Minor and Egypt
towards the Christian inhabitants of those ciun-
tries
"It is not only in India that the Mahometans are
arming themselves, for the armourers in all the cities and
towns of Asia Miner, Syria, and Egypt were never car-
rying on such an txtensive trade as they are at present.
All that is taking place at Calcutta under the eyes of the
Governor-General of India, the European consuls see re-
peated at Smyrna, at Acre, at Alexandria, and else-
where. The most pacific Orientals, those even who are
not accustomed to handle arms, are purchasing revol-
vers, and the Turk, the Syrian, and the Egypt-
tian make no secret of the motive which leads them to
purchase these weapons. One of our friends who is on
the spot states that something is in agitation among
the Mussulman population —something which very
closely resembles the rising of the Muesalmans in India.
Europe deceives itself in imagining that any gratitude is
b It because the Western Powers supported the crescent
against the Greek cross. It is quite the contrary. The
hatred felt throughout the East against Christians is tin
bounded. It is in the strongest terms of indignation
that the events at Constantinople are talked of, and
the tanzirnat is a subject of derision. Never has a
Christain obtained less justice or been more detested than
since the Christian States have declared themselves the
protectors of the Mussulman."

rice having put en effectual stop at present to the shii -
went of fine reannfacturee from this kingdom. Ti e

THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY COLLISION.—The fol-
lo wing is the verdict which the jury, after a consul-
tation of more than an hour, returned on Tuesday, and
the substance of which appeared in our o lumns yes-
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 Cueelee
White, the station-ma<ter at Stormy, in despatching,
contrary to his printed instructions, the down-passanher
train on the up-line without waiting for an answer to
his telegraphic message, and in direct opposition t)
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 desirable if be bad gone
to inquire for an answer before be started the up-train.
We think there is evidence of carelessness and incompr-
tency in the telegraphio arrangements both at Port DO-
NA and Stormy, and that there is blame to be attached
to the company for not employing more efficient ser-
vants at such important stations, especially Stormy, and
also for not taking care that they are properly instructed
in the working of the telegraph on both instruments.
also think if there had been means of tele-
glrhaeptirY ccommunication at Pyle this lamentable colli-
sion might have been prevented."
