MANSION HOIIII.—TeI UNTOSITITNATS SPANISH
Riruolzs.—A truly affecting spectacle presented itself
yesterday at the Mansion House, in the absence of the
Lord Mayor. Three Spanish refugees, a Colonel, and two
Comman&rs, with starvation strongly marked in their
faces, besought Mr. Holier to endeavour to save them and
' others of their miserable countrymen, persons of rank and
large hereditary claims, from perishing. They declared that
they bad not tasted bread for the last forty-eight hours
" but look," said they to Mr. nobler. " lock at us, and tell
us whether you don't believe us. We are all starving.—
Death has come to the relief of some. and is close at the
heels of the rest; and we are driven to this hunger and na-
kedness by our resistance to the despotism which England
has always detested." Mr. Nobler asked the poor misera-
ble creatures whether they had applied to his Majesty's go.
vernment. Don Fernando Garcia produced a correspond-
ence between him, on behalf of the refugees, and some mem-
ben of the administration, from which correspondence it
appeared that Government declined rendering them any as-
sistance. The refugees, upon finding that the fatigues of 11
office interfered wish the benevolent feelings of those to
whom they applied, wrote a petition to his Majesty, de-
scribing their melancioly condition, and begging that he
would be graciously pleased, at this time of general rejoicing
at the approach of the coronation. and the security of the
liberties of the people, to commiserate their desolate state.
They would wait longer fee an answer. but the want of food
drove them to this course, and there was nothing but a lin.
gering death in prospect. Mr. Holder asked whether they
bad been upon the Duke of Wellington's list; and, if they
had. whether they had risked the allowance upon that het
by leaving England r The refugees said that the Duke of
Wellington had ordered some years back that those who re-
ceived the 101 aid as travelling expenses, on a departure
from this country, should forfeit the right to the allowance
in future. When the Lite French revolution took place,
almost every good Spaniard, under the impression that
the example would be followed, went over to his
country, to rouse the people to a sense of theii(
degraded condition. The experiment to deliver Spain
from pries.craft and despotism, however, proved
unavailing. The refugees fought against the tyrant, but
they met with a strong army, and wets every where mailed
by treachery. They were led into ambuscades, and shot or
strangled like dogs. The chants of dying like men was de.
nied to them, and those that escaped, alter die desperate but
ineffectual struggle, were prevented by the French govern.
ment from making any further effort, and struck off the list
of claimants by the Duke of Wellington.—Mr. lioSLea
said, that if the Duke of Wellington had not annexed some
condition to the grant of the 101. it was apprehended that
England, in the midst of her own privations, would have
beet-overwhelmed by real and pretended claimants.—'list
refugees said, they had learned, from authority, that the
Duke of Wellington had still the disposal of the fund
granted by his Majesty for the relief of the Spanish, at his
command; that the fund amounted to 18,0001. and that but
few of the exiles were deriving bandit from it. Finding
that his Majesty's Government would not any more inter-
fere, the only akernative left to them was to appeal to the
chief Magistrate of the great city wide:hind with suck libe-
rality subscribed some years ago, and saved many of their
countrymen from the horrors of that starvation which the
exiles were new literally undergoing. Mr. Holder said
that the City fuud had been long since upended, and the

Wads by which be thought any seecessful application
Is Made would be that of a public appeal to the
Iteilhrgedenalted. He knew that there were many amongst

Manw-tee-Bowno—Yesterday Hannek creed, a little
girl, only thirteen years of age, was charged before Mr.
Gatemen' with the capital offence of breaking into a
dwelling-house, and stealing therefrom 61 19s. It was proved
in evidence that this young delinquent was occasionally
implored to go on errands by M. Mary Davis, of Notting-
bill, kensington. On Monday last, Mrs. Davis came
to town on some business, leaving the house without soy
one In it, and on her return missed from a drawer up stairs
a 51. note, two half-sovereigns, and 19s in silver. The pri.
NINE was present a few days before, when the complainant
smoked the uote. In the course of the same day the pri-
sour called on a young woman in the neighbourhood, and
pissed in her hands a 61 note, two half-sovereigns, and
1111610 silver, which she received back on Wednesday, and
ormo into town with a little girl about her own age, named
Popes. In High-aneet, Mary-la-bonne, they met the prison.
WS 1.1134 to oboist the money was shown, but who, inland
of how a little creature like her could come into
the of so much money. made the first assault
upon it in the neighbouring gin.shop ; after which she pur-
chased some articles of dress for the prisoner. Peyote and
the prisoner returned towards home, but on their way met a
young fellow, named Bryan. with whom she had been pre.
viously acquainted, and the whole party mine back again to
town. After regaling themselves sumptuously, the 51. note
was given to Bryan, who changed it at a haberdasher's shop
in Oxford-street, where they purchased two shawls, and the
change remained in Bryan's possession. On their road to
Kensington they passed some police constables, who spoke to
them; and after they bad passed, Bryan pretended they were
in quest of her, stooped. and alleged then that he had thrown
three of the sovereigns away, in order that, the exact sum
not being found upon them, no charge might be brought
Masse to them. Mrs. Davis having heard of the large
sums her protege had been spending, caused her to be ap.
when she candidly admitted having entered
Li Iligisillai osee through one of the lower windows while Mn.
Davis was absent on Monday, and having taken the messy.
Bryan absconded, but the constable has received istormatisn
that he was seen in the neighbourhood of Pyridines% go.

The robbery was committed by a near neighbour of Mn.

an entrance.—She was fully committed fur trial on the ca-
pital charge.

TALIACOTIAIN OPBRATION.—Thii operation,
which has hhbeno been so rare in this country, having never,
we believe, until a few years ago introduced by kir. Limo,
been known in Scotland, seems likely to become sofildently
common. Within these few days two patients (a man and
a woman) have been discharged from the infirmary, and ano-
ther will shortly be discharged in whom the olfactory organ
has been completely renovated. Another female, whose nose
is almost entirely lost, is at present under treatment, and
within the last few months three mere have bad different
slighter repairs made upon their nasal protuberances. The
materials for the new nose, as tar medical readers will be
aware, are derived from the forehead; and it is as some'•
log as it is pleasing to observe how rapidly these, at first,
ilesible parts become consolidated and adapted to their new
situation. The whole of these eases have been under the
cars of Mr. Liston, who, in this operation, as in many other
departments of surgery, hu introduced considerable WI.
provetnents. Instead of taking the columns or septum, as it
is technically called, from the forehead. he takes it, at ape-
tied subsequent to the first operation, from tieenterzer lip—a
mulct which, we believe, surgeons now y allow
nos considerable advantages. It would be justice to Mr.
Lists°, were we not to say, that the whole operations were
performed with a predawn and dexterity which, perhaps,
few in Britain could have equalled.—Ediaburgh Courant.
