officers of- the Chamber were proceeded with. The
result of the ballot has given a complete and almost
undisputed victory to the " Coalitionists ;"—M. Olo-
zago, President, 82 votes; M. Cortina, first Vice-
I President, 80 votes ; M. Cantero, second Vice-Presi-
dent, 75 votes ; M. Caballero, third Vice-President,
68 votes ; M. Domenich, fourth Vice-President, 65
votes; and the following Secretaries, in the order. of
their names, MM. Galvez, Canero, Mats, Paz Garcia,
and Garnica. Forty.four votes was the highest num-
•ber which any of the higher candidates obtained.
There can be little doubt, therefore, of the character
of the Chamber for the rest of the session. The Presi-
dents and Secretaries all belong to the Coalition, which
overthrew the late, and always declared the present
Government as unparliamentarily appointed. As a
matter of course, it is to be expected that now, hav-
ing the power, they will act on their principles. If
so, there is but one of two paths for the Regent to
pursue—either to select a Ministry from the Presi-
dents and Secretaries elected to-day, or .to dis-
solve the Chambers, and appeal to the country.
In either case the difficulties, if not dangers,
to the country may- be great. As to a com-
promise and a modified Cabinet, that is barely pos-
sible ; but in such case, little for the benefit of Spain
may be expected. The Senate also held a session to-
day. The proceedings, however, were unimportant.
A resolutioil.of the Chamber was read to the effect
that the President gives notice to all members who
did not present themselves in fifteen days to resign ;
and that, in the event of not appearing in the Cham-
ber in two months after, they would be considered as
having vacated their places. It was then agreed that
the hour of meeting each (lay should be at twelve
o'clock, and the session broke up. Brigadier Lavinia
contradicts, in a letter to the Castellano, of this even-
ing, the statement published in all the journals here,
of the troops of the garrison, &c., having been under
arms on Saturday night last. The contradiction is
being explained by the fact of the troops of the gar-
rison and the National Guard having been . under
orders to be in readiness if required, and not under
arms as stated. That precautions were taken
.on the
occasion is universally admitted.

This being a holida-y there was no Bourse.

THE FURY OF FREE TRADE. We have been
contented with insisting that it was the duty of our
own Government to our own people to abolish the re-
strictions on the importation of corn ; the Standard,
which has suddenly become quite enraptured with
free trade, and sees in it the means of cementing na-
tional unions, and of guaranteeing the observance of
treaties, far more efficacious than the wishes of a Go-
ernment, actually preaches to the surrounding na-
tions that they may make war on Great Britain for
excluding their corn and alienating herself from
them. The treaty with China, obtained by
war, it says, is " such as the society of
civilised nations have a natural right to impose upon
any people perversely alienating themselves from the
great family of mankind,' even though such perverse
people had given no other ground of quarrel than
their alienation." Our people do not, indeed, alienate
themselves from the great family of mankind, but the
Government, under the influence of the landlords,
tries to alienate them; and thus the words of the land-
lord's instrument' convict the landlords of deserving
the hostility of other nations by their perverseness in
shutting otit the trade which other nations and our
people would willingly enter into.

SUGDEN, V. BLACKBURN.—We do not understand
the motives of the Mail for the malicious contrast
it. has drawn between the Chancellor and the new
Master of the .Rolls. There was a tinie when the
Mail would have acted a very different part towards
Mr. Blackburne, when that Right Hon. Gentleman
spoke with voice potential at Dublin Castle. But let that
pass: We cannot, however, but admit that this very
early condemnation of a solemn decision of the present
Master of the Rolls—a man who enjoyed so very tip-
top a reputation at the Bar, and who is regarded as a
Solon amongst the equity lawyers—has come upon us
quite by surprise, the more so, as the. Rolls' Court,
during the incumbency of the late lamented Judge
who presided there, had become celebrated for the dis-
cretion and completeness of his judgments. On this
subject we recollect a very remarkable statement
made by Mr. Ford, at the recent meeting of the Irish
solicitors, who assembled to consider the most fitting
mode of exhibiting their reverence for the memory of Sit'
Michael O'Loghlen—" In the space of five years and
a half (said Mr. Ford) that he presided in the Court,
he disposed of upwards of twenty-five thousand dif-
ferent matters. He pronounced more than that num-
ber of orders, and out of that number there were only
twenty appeals from his decisions. On the hearing
those appeals, fourteen of his orders were affirmed,
three varied in part, and three only reversed, and one
of these on a communication he himself made to the
Appellant Court, on the re-consideration of the case."

THE POPE AND THE PACHA.—Sevep Egyptian
workers in mosaic (who are about to repair to home
at the expense of their Government, to perfect them-
selves in the art) are to be the bearers of a new gift
to the Sovereign Pontiff from Mehemet Ali, viz., four
large granite columns, recently found in the neigh-
bourhood of Thebes, and covered with hieroglyphics.
The railroad from London to Ashford will be
opened about the Ist of December next, and in the
meantime nearly every coach, with the exception of
the Dover mails, will be taken off the present line.
It is calculated that travellers from Canterbury will
reach London in the course of four hours and a half
from the time of starting from the city, and the train
will run either five or six times daily. Application
will be made to Parliament in the coming session for
a cross line from Ashford to Canterhury and the coast,
and as little or no opposition is anticipated it is not
improbable that the railway will be opened some time
within the next two years.—Kentish Gazette.
THE PUBLIC ORATORSHIP or CAMBRIDGE UNIVER-
SITY.—Three candidates have been announced as de-
sirous to succeed Dr. Cramer in the above office—
namely, the Rev. W. Jacobson' M.A., late fellow of
Exeter, now the vice-principal of Magdalen Hall ;
they Rev. John Griffiths M.A., sub-warden of and
tutor of Wadham ; and the Rev. Robert Blackburne,
M.A., fellow of Brasennose. The election is fixed
for to-day.
A BATTUE OF BRIGANDS.—A letter from Sartiene
(Corsica), Oct. 20, says :—" The demand made by
the French Government on that of Sardinia to execute
rigorously the treaty of extradition agreed on some) ears
back between the two States, having been favourably
received, the Corsican bandits, who had taken refuge
,in Sardinia, hastened to return to their own country,
.to the number of 350 at least. As this influx of
malefactors was expected, measures were taken to
carry. on a war of extermination against them. A
fortnight back the bandit Nicoli fell under the attack
of the brigadier of gendarmerie, Guelfucci; and two
meth To-day the robbers Luciani, father and son,
were killed near Sierra by a party of the Corsican
voltigeurs. . The
.two robbers entrenched themselves
behind some enormous blocks of rocks, and fought
with desperate courage. The father, although covered
with dreadful wounds, had strength enough left to
give a stab of his dagger to a voltigeur who came close
to him under the impression that he was dead. The
son survived . an hour, without a complaint having
escaped him, and died abusing man and blaspheming
God. We had scarcely. recovered a little from the
emotion caused bY these events, when a new crane
threw us into consternation. The widow Rocaserres,
residing at Levie, was mortally wounded by a pistol-
shot, fired at her by a cousin of her husband's, be-
cause this latter had left her all his property. This
murder will have the effect of bequeathing to the
commune of Levie a dreadful hostility, to which no
inhabitant can remain a stranger."
SOUTHEND.—The 19th instant was a most beauti-
ful day, the wind at S.W., when about nine o'clock
in the evening it shifted to S.E., and began to blow
a fresh breeze. About twelve o'cicck the rain fell in
torrents, and the wind then blowing a strong gale,
boats and vessels put off on the look out. They had
not to go far to find a job, for directly off Southend
lay not fewer than nine ships driven on that dangerous
and well known sand, the Nore. The gale at this time
had increased into a perfect hurricane, and the de-
struction amongst the shipping was most dreadful,
( some drawing their anchors, running into each other,
1
bulwarks cracking and smashing in kevery direction.
When the anxiously looked-for daylight came, the
water was covered with pieces of yards, masts, - bolt-
sprits, &c.—Essex Herald.
