" The struggle between England and France in Spain," says
the Siecle, "is a struggle of liberty. The cabinet of the Tuile-
leries supports the Narvaez, the Gonzales Bravos, the Pidals.
the Bravo Murillos, the Bretons, and all the partizans of cor-
ruption and reaction. The cabinet of London has only one
course to pursue, that is, to support the Liberals, the promo-
ters of material and moral progress, and they will thus turn
against us all the rising men in Spain "

We have received, by this express, letters from our corre-
spondent in Athens, dated March 20. They regard the dispute
between the Greek and Turkish Governments as virtually at an
end, but they arrive at this conclusion through an assumption
which does not appear altogether warranted. They take for..
granted. that. the reply of M. Coletti to the representations of
the Porte would be accepted, of whiche,wnoetviiedrtahet less, doubts
were entertained by highly informed parties. In that reply,
M. Coletti required that the Turkish Envoy to the Court. °f

REPORTED LOSS OF THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM-

ICKET SHIP TWEED,

By the arrival of the Calpe, South-Western Company's
steamer, at Southampton on Sunday we have received the
melancholy intelligence of the loss of the Tweed, and 60
lives, as we gather from the following particulars, extracted,
from the New Orleans Picayune of March 1, which, wit°
files of other American papers down to 10th ult., had ar-
rived at Havre by the Baltimore, Captain Johnstone :---
"The Yucatan schooner, Atrevida, Captain Zanchez, arriYt
at this port this morning from Campeachy, having sailed the
19th of February.

north-east end of the Alacranes, and 60 persons were drownedl
The Tweed left Havannah on the 9th ult., for Vera Cruz and
Tampico. Expeditions were sent from Campeachy to her

The Tweed was the packet now due ; possibly the TO

very skilful officer.

THE SPEAKER'S CHAIR.—Mr. Howell, bookseller, of
Church-street, has now in his possession the chair used
by the Speaker of the Old House of Commons, previous
to its destruction by fire in 1834, where it may be seen by
those who are curious in such matters.
The. Rev. George Read curate of Ballina, has for some
weeks past had eight men employed in sowing carrot seed,
and in preparing ground for barley and oats in his parish-

We perceive by a advertisement in our paper of this dal,
that the annual sermons in support of the Charity School;

in connexion with St. Jude's church, are to be preactia'
by Mr. WNeile on Sunday next,. and we rejoice to observethat his worship the Mayor has signified his intentions-to
be present at. one of them. The St. Jude's schools O.
understand derive no part of their support from all;

subscriptions of the congregation, and the collectitw,
made after the annual sermons. We cannot doubt that
Mr. M"? Neile and his congregation will on this oecasiolli
meet with ready support from the friends of Scripturl'"
