SPAIN.

Queen Isabella had resolved to repair in state, on. the
27th ult., to the church of Our Lady of Atocha, to pray
tor her safe delivery. On the 24th the ministers and the
principal dignitaries of the state proceeded to Aranjuez, to
offer their homage to Queen Maria Christina on the occa-
sion of her birthday. Her majesty was expected at Madrid
on the 2fith. The Minister of Justice had left for Seville
to be present at the accouchement of the Duchess of
Mont pensier. It was thought that the Cortes would be
shortly prorogued.
One of Mazzini's proclamations, calling upon the de-
mocrats of Spain to assist in the approaching overthrow of
all the monarchies of Europe has been extensively circu-
lated in Madrid. The roads are swarming with thieves,
and even in Madrid, in spite of the large police force,
robberies occur almost hourly. A merchant's house was
edtered in the daytime and plundered of near £BOO ; and
the diligence to La Isabella was stopped about 12 miles
from Madrid, and the passengers plundered of everything
they had.

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.
LATER FROM AMERICA.

'I he royal mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Lang,
arrived in the Mersey on Saturday afternoon, soon after
one o'clock, having accomplished the passage, including
the detention at Halifax, in about nine days and twenty
hours, being the fastest run from Boston ever accom-
plished, except once by the Asia, which made the passage
in about seven hours less than the time occupied by the
Canada on this occasion. On four successive days. or in
96 hours, the Canada ran 1200 miles. She brought 75
passengers and 185,000 dollars specie.
The third expedition against Cuba is contemplated in
the United States, and the plan is to forward men in com-
panies to the island, who aro to provide themselves secretly
with arms, and to be ready to join any expedition which
may succeed in landing.
Much is said in the papers as to the policy of the United
States in regard to the expulsion of the Tehuantepec sur-
veying expedition, and various statements of a conflicting
character appear in the journals; but on the whole it
seems clear that Mr. Webster is disinclined to grant the
prayer of the aggrieved Dailies to enforce upon Mexico the
ratification of the Garay treaty.
The arrival of gold at New York by the Crescent City
had eased the market. The accounts from the California
mines are as sanguine as ever. A silver mine, said to be
superior in extent and richness to any yet discovered, has
been found near Los Angeles. The fortunate German
who first discovered it, has sold twenty-seven shares for
5,000 dollars each.

The cholera is still reported at Jamaica, where warm
weather prevailed.
The crops in Upper Canada are said to be unusually good.
We learn from Havana that what is called in the New
York Herald an "insurrection," has taken place at Puerto
Principe, but it seems to have been a trifling emeule, which
was soon put down. The persons engaged in it were a
few young men, in whose possession were only about forty
muskets, some ammunition, a great many proclamations,
and an American flag.
Letters from Rio de Janeiro contain a report of the
blowing up, by her Majesty's steam-ship Cormorant, of a
steamer owned by subjects of the United States, and
which was seized in consequence of a suspicion of being a
slave vessel. The matter is in the hands of the American
government.

ALEXANDRIA.—The differences lately existing between
the Sultan and the Viceroy of Egypt have been duly
settled. Trade very dull, and prices of all produce
falling. Cotton much neglected.
INDIA.—The season of rain and inaction has set in. The
western provinces of the Punjaub remain tranquil, the adja-
cent bill tribes being fully employed in fighting among
themselves. Indian railway preparations continue to
advance rapidly. The Nizam's territory was in a most
disorderly state. He was besieged in his palace by un-
paid soldiers-

The latest Mauritius papers exult in the flourishing
condition and progress of that colony.
CIIINA.—The latest accounts from Hong Kong state
that the rebellion continued still unchecked.
