DISSOLUTION or PARLIASIIiNT.—We can state with confi-
dence that it is the intention of government to meet the present
parliament and to send up to the House of Lords several of the
bills rejected last session—perhaps the Irish municipal first—
and, it these be accepted, no dissolution will take place ; but
should any again be rejected, parliament will be dissolved. Our
information at, derived from a nobleman closely connected with
the ministry.—Ayr Observer.
RErtaisENT ATIoN uP LANCASTER.—The canvass made by
Mr. Marton' of Caponwray hall, of the voters of the borough of
Lancaster, for the honour of representipg them in the next
parliament, has been throughout of the most satisfactory de-
scription, and no dotkbt whatever is now entertained of histri-
umphant return. Mr. Green and Mr. Stewart are both on the
.qui vice to secure the like object, so that the "good old town"

At the adjourned meeting of the Canterbury town council, on
Tuesday, after the ordinary routiue had been gone through,
Alderman Brent brought forward a motion for the abolition of
church-rates, in conformity with Mr. Joseph Home's (M.P.)
letter to the town councils of Englatd. The mover said that

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

SPAIN.
(From the correspondence of the Standard.)

PARIS, Nov. 17.—The Moniteur publishes the following tele-
graphic dispatch :

" Bayonne, Nov. 15, half-past eight in the evening.
"The Carlists took possession, on the 10th, of the convent of
San Mainez, together with the garrison, composed of 300 men
and artillery. They threw a bridge over the Nervion for
the sake of communicating with both banks. Troops, &c.,
embarked on the 14th at St. Sebastian, were, on the 13th, still
there."

A letter from Irun, dated Nov. 10, says :—" An engagement
of a serious nature took place near Estella. Five of our bat-
talions fought against 6000 Christinos infantry and 500 cavalry.
They were victorious."
The Memorial Bordelais says—" It appears positive that Go-
mez, with his troops, whose number amounts to 14,000, entered
Caceres the Ist Nov. without firing a musket. It is the rich
and large capital of the province of Estemadura, 18 leagues from
Badajoz."
Letters from Santiago states that that town was in a state of
alarm, at -the report that Sanz had passed the bridge of Pena-
flore, proceding against the province. There wero no troops in
that direction, and the Christinos were very much afraid of the
Carlists.
