ROYALTY IN SPAIN.

WE extract the following from. the Madrid correspon-
dence of The Times :—" It is.said that Her Most Catho-
lic Majesty was grievously offended at the nature of the
attendance at the feet-washing: ceremony on Holy Thurs-
day, a great number of persons whose presence she
expected having absented themselves, and especially there
having been present but two, or three of the numerous
ladies of honour, who generally attend in much larger
numbers. The Sovereign"s unpopularity with all classes
of her subjects is lamentably great and manifest. By the
more respectable portion, of the higher ranks she is
avoided for their own reputation's sake; and by the lower
orders she is spoken of contemptuously and with sneers..
In this country it is not safe to let oneself be carried.
away by the current of public feeling, fickle and variable
as that is in Spain, or to,base one's opinions on those of
the majority, which .tomorrow's caprice may convert into;
a minority ; but at the present time the feeling is nu,
questionably very strong and general that the Queen has.
offended too deeply for the possibility of pardon, and that
the hours of her reign are numbered. The revolution
which many consider- inevitable, and confidently predict,
is to have for one. of its first results her eompulsory abdi-
cation and expulsion, from the kingdom. The course that
has been suggested, as a worthy and a queenly one for her
to adopt—that„ namely, of abandoning frankly and for
ever her absolutist designs, of replacing by men in, whom
the country has confidence the knot of adventurers. who
at present compose her Ministry, and of contenting her.
self henceforward with the power and the privileges of a
constitutional Sovereign—that course is scouted by the
Constitutionalists as a vision impossible to be. realized.
In the first place, say they, for her to discern the- wisdom
of such a course, and to act up to her perceptions, she
must be a woman of sense, judgment, and sagacity—
qualities in which she has repeatedly proved herself wholly
wanting, while obstinacy, caprice, and selfishness have
ever been, prominent features in her character.. Supposing
her even. to take the steps indicated—to declare her adhe-
sion to, the constitution and determination to govern by
it—none would credit her sincerity or put faith in her
promises. No man relies upon her word. Dissimulation
and treachery are in her blood, both on her father's and
her' mother's side. "Let us all walk in the paths of the
constitution," said Ferdinand VII., when the Liberal party
had gained the upper hand, " y yo el primero—and I the
first of all." I need hardly say how he kept this engage-
ment. His daughter, so say the Constitutionalists of to-
day, would act in a like manner. In the hour of distress
she would pledge herself to anything; the peril past, her
absolutist tendencies would regain the ascendency, and
promises would be all forgotten. It appears that the
desire to reign absolute is very deeply rooted in her breast,
and is fostered and stimulated by the present favourite,
who makes no secret of his wish to see a despotism estab-
lished. It is only in moments of danger and alarm that
the Court turns its face towards Espartero and tha
Liberals, as to a haven of refuge. It was thus that, after
the Saragossa insurrection, overtures were made by the
Queen Mother to a member of that party. The Qneen
believes that, should the worst come to the worst, Espar-
tero will always be there, ready and willing to save her.
Supposing him even to have that power, she does not
foresee that her own fate may be decided and her carriage
half way to the frontier before he has time to make an
effort in her behalf. The evil day may, perhaps, be
deferred longer than many expect, but she may rely that,
should it come, the reckoning will be sharp and short,
and her turnout very sudden and unceremonious ; for,
while her public conduct has been such that her subjects
talk daily and almost openly of her deposition as of a
most desirable event that can hardly fail to occur, her
private life has been so shamefully dissolute as to deprive
her of those claims to courteous consideration which
might have made them willing to soften her fall. As a
Queen she has rendered herself odious, as a woman
despised. The great difficulty in the case, and that
which may preserve to her her crown longer than she
would otherwise retain it, is whom to put in her place.
Were there, in the whole family of the Spanish Bourbons,
a single eligible or even respectable prince, I really believe
he would have an excellent chance of elevation to the
throne, "vice Isabella, cashiered." But we seek in vain
for one respectable either in character or abilities. Don
Francisco de Paula, even if he had not degraded himself
by taking a wife from the pave, is too old and imbecile to
be thought of for a moment. With Count Montemolin
the Spaniards associate the idea of the restoration of the
monkish and absolute regime. Don Enrique, who had a
fine game to play had he been honest and true, has proved
himself utterly false and politically worthless. He be-
trayed, in 1847, the friends who were ready to stand
stoutly by him, and he will never again be trusted. As
to the Duke de Montpensier,'it would please neither Spain
nor France, nor probably England, to see an Orleans
prince on the Spanish throne. Besides which, the Duke
is considered by persons who have had opportunities of
judging him to be the least capable of all Louis Philippe's
sons. This is certainly not saying much for his abilities,
and hardly constitutes him such a king as Spain has need
of. And thus does the present Sovereign retain her regal
seat, in great measure by reason of the incapacity and
undesirableness of thoeg who might be ello.loo iiq, ropuice

PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL
SOCIETY, AND TRINITY COLLEGE,
DUBLIN.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sin,—l have copied the subjoined from the Clerical
Journal, and shall thank you to find a corner for it in
your paper.--I am, Sir, yours, very faithfully,
A CONSTANT READER.

" The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel have
had a most successful meeting within the college walls.
Several excellent speeches were delivered on the occasion,
stating the objects of the society—pointing to the various
fields of labour in which its missionaries are employed,
and answering some vulgar objections to its ordinary
working. Professor Jellet's speech was considered one of
the most effective of the day ; while it was cheering to
see not only the ' high and dry' and ` the low and slow,'
but the `broad' Churchman taking part in the day's pro-
ceedings ; thus, also, we believe the society not to be the
representative of any party in the Church, but to be an
exponent of the Church itself. The Christian Examiner
has repeated its injurious allegations against the venerable
society, calling it Tractarian, and what not ; but he has
been himself examined by two very competent writers,
the Rev. John Cotter M`Donnell, one of the provost's
sons, and the Rev. D. H. Elrington, treasurer of the Dub-
lin and Kildare diocesan auxiliary of the society. The
former writer, in a letter which appears in the April
number of the Irish Church Journal, has clearly proved
that, although there is some show of argument in the
Examiner's charges, there is throughout `a painful pre-
cipitancy of statement and misconception of facts.'
"He has,moreover,exhibited the writer in the Examiner
as thoroughly7uncandid and disingenuous.
" The Rev. D. H. Elrington has published his answer in
the form of a pamphlet, which will amply repay perusal.
It is published by M`Glashan, Dublin, and bears upon it
the manly features of truth and honesty. It refutes,
seriatim, five direct charges against the society, which
are retailed over and over again by those Sir Oracles who
undertake the part of clerical instructors.
"Mr. Elrington believes such attacks will have an oppo-
site effect to that which those who brought them forward
intended them to have, and we quite agree with him ;
indeed, we have been informed that a very liberal sub-
scription was paid a few days ago to the society, in conse-
quence of the subscriber being convinced, by the reading
of the pamphlet, that the society had been very shame-
fully misrepresented.
"We are delighted to see the clarzrm et venerabile
nomen of Elrington associated with the championship and
defence of our old Church society ; and we entertain a
hope that the Church of Ireland generally may be led,
from the perusal of the pamphlet, to enenurage and pro-
mote a society which has done such good. service.— Cor-
respondent of the Clerical Journal, April. 22nd, 1854."

A " PONTIFIC.AL" PERFORMANCE.

TO THE EDITOR; OP THE LIVERPOOL STANIYARD.

Sin,—Pray permit me, as a philologist, to state that,
having observed placards about the town intimating that
the Rev. P. Cullen, "Archbishop of Dublin," is to assist
PONTIFICALLY in some• place of worship next Sunday,
I am afraid our townsmen of the Romish persuasion• may
be deluded by the use of this word PONTIFICAAGUT—
erroneousIy imagining that it may have reference to some-
thing of a mysterious and celestial signification,. and
thereby clinching the poor• creatures in superstition.
Pray let them know that the term pontifically signifi. e
is. a manner belonging to bridge-making, and is derived
from ponte faciendo. The' construction of the fik,st
bridge across the Tiber was, I think, considered to be. a
work of such magnitude and skill, that its good keeping.
was entrusted to a minister of sacred things among the'
Romans, and he was thence called the Pontifex or Pontiff.
Of 'course, when such a functionary took a walk abroad,,
he did so pontifically, and when he sat down to rest
himself, he sat pontifically. It will therefore appear that,
when:• the Rev. P. Cullen arrives before our Romanist
townsmen, in a few days, he willibe dressed pontifically,
not, however, like a " navvie," or one for attending to'
the repairing of a bridge over the• Tiber, or any where
else. Trusting that the insertions of this note in your
paper tb-morrow may help to remove ignorance from the•
Romanist mind,—l am, yours truly,

ITORTICUZTURE.

STOTE, CONSERVATORY, &c.—Use the syringe 'freely in
the morning, but take care to shut the ventilators soon
afternoon. The weather hasheen so uncertain,. and still
is,. that little can be done besides guarding against the
evils, of a sudden fall of temperature. In London and its
vicinity, on the night of the-24th ultimo, the thermometer
fell lower than it has ever been known during the present
century in the month of April, and consequently the
splendid promise of a plentiful crop of fruit has been en-
tirely destroyed. We have suffered slightly in this neigh-
bourhood, but, fortunately,. being somewhat later, we are
much less injured. We•must, therefore, for the present,
confine our directions tusimple protection against these
night frosts, from which, in the present state of ' the
atmosphere, we are by no means free, The wall-fruit
trees appear to be doing well ; but we should certainly, in
the present uncertainty, wait at least a week before thin-
ning peaches, nectarines, and apricots. The trees should
be liberally supplied with liquid manure when the ground
is damp, as the cold. weather has checked their vigour
very considerably-

A FoßTuNAxa•BA.RQuE.—Weread in the Gateshead
Observer that Mrs. Peter Gibson, of Deptford, Sunder-
land, whose husband had built a vessel for Mr. Thomas
Speeding, jun.,. of Monkwearmouth, was privileged, on the
Ist ult., to give it a name, and named it " The Kiss !"'
The vessel is described as a " barque," and Mr. Gibson.
probably intended that it should be one, but his wife (thus:
puns the Gateshead Observer) has made it a" smack."
PATIIO4: AND POLITICEL—Mr. Miall, M.P., in his notes
in the House of Commons, says, that when Lord John,
Russell's, voice wavered from emotion in his speech on the
Reform Bill, on Tuesday, "there arose a cheer from, both
sides of the house, loud and long-continued, during which
the noble lord struggled to regain his self-mastery. Every
eye was glistening with sudden moisture, and every heart
was softened into genuine sympathy. After a minute or
two of cheering, the noble lord resumed, but still in a
faltering voice, and with tearful accents. But his feeling
had done what no logic could have accomplished.. The
effect was electric. Old prejudices, long pent-up grudges,
accumulated discontents, uncharitable suspicions all
melted away beneath that sudden outburst of a troubled
heart. The patriot had conquered the man, but it was
the agony of the man that triumphed over the house.
Russie. AND THE CRIMES.—The most severe blow
that could be dealt to Russia, indeed the only blow that
can ever induce her to draw back from her present
advanced position, would be the conquest of the Crimea.
It is the only valuable point of Russia to a naval power.
It is, to all purposes, au island, assailable and defensible
on all sides by sea. There is an isthmus or narrow neck
of land at Perecop, across which fortifications of great
strength could be erected, and which might be rendered
difficult for any Russian force to overcome. Within the
peninsula, too, is Sebastopol, the southern arsenal of Rus-
sia. If the weak point of Turkey be the Bosphorus—at
which Russia has ever aimed—the Crimea may be equally
the aim of Turkey and the maritime powers.—Bentley
for March.
THE RECORDER OF HoLL's MORAL TRIUMPH.-14Ord
Palmerston's pet, the boy Regan, whose dire incarceration
by the learned recorder of this borough, Mr. Warren,
raised such a commotion six months ago, on account of
the severity of the sentence then passed upon him, is
again in the hands of justice. He had been sentenced to
eighteen months' imprisonment, with a view to his being
taught to earn his living, and to acquire the elements of a
common school education ; but having patrons in the
borough to represent his case to the secretary of state, his
sentence was commuted to six months' imprisonment,
which expired only a few days ago. Well, his apprecia-
tion of the services rendered to him by his local friends,
and by the noble home secretary, has not been of a very
exalted order. In less than a fortnight from the date of
his release from prison, he is again placed at the bar of
the police-court—again committed for trial, at consider-
able cost to the Crown and to the ratepayers of this bo-
rough. This is the learned recorder's moral triumph.
This is the proof of prescience which we attributed to
him, when he passed what was truly, in the case of this
lad, a merciful sentence. What the boy really wanted was
to be properly weaned from his evil habits, and trained to
act uprightly, and to work for his living. Now, the only
remedy is to send him away altogether. The commuta-
tion of his sentence having failed to reform, has utterly
destroyed him, so far as local treatment is concerned. We
would congratulate Mr. Warren upon this vindication of
his judidial conduct, but for the pain which he, in com-
mon with every good man, must feel that it should be pur.
chased by the criminality of a poor, neglected, ignorant
fellow-creattlre.—M4/1 Advertiser,
