nnAr the operation of martial law, fresh arrests continued
to be made daily, all the troops were constantly under
arms, day and night, and numerous patrols went through
the principal streets, dispersing the smallest groups. The
hostile feelings of the Andalusians to the provisional Go-
vernment were apparent, from the fact that there is not
an important point throughout the entire province in
which there have not been strenuous effeorts made to pro-
claim the Central Junta. There have been attempts of
this discription in some instances for a time successfui at
Seville, at Cadiz, at Cordova, in Granada, Malaga, and
Carthagena.

THE CHINESE PRIZE-MoNEY.---We have heard on
authority that the hatta money (or prize-money) arising
from the ransom of Canton will be paid in the course of
the ensuing month, orders having been already issued to
the treasury to make the necessary arrangements for its
distribution. This gratuity has already been paid to the
forces in India who were employed in the expedition.
Disappointment is naturally felt at the limited amount
which falls to the share of the gallant captors, as it hardly
exceeds a tithe of that which has been received by the ci-
tizens of Canton, who, headed by Howqua, came forward
voluntarily and offered 6,000,000 dollars for the preserva-
tion of their city. The course taken by Capt. Elliott, the
late Plenipotentiary, in converting the ransom into a con-
vention, has diverted the money from the channel into
which, according to all precedent in such matters, it
would otherwise have flowed.—Standard.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE POPE.—A letter from
Rome, of the 27th ult., in the Gazette de France, says—
" A report has probably reached you of an attempt to
assassinate the Pope. The fact is, that a physician, who
is a great revolutionist, but driven to desperation by
want of money, went one day to the palace; and, although
be has a wooden leg, entered as nimbly as if it was his
own house. Being met, and asked whom he wanted, he
replied that he wished to speak to his Holiness on very
urgent affairs. With much difficulty he was induced to
withdraw. On reaching the court he fired a•pistol, with-
out its being perceived that it was he who caused the ex-
plosion. The next day he returned agaih, and went on
until he met Cagetanino, the Pontiff's valet, to whom he
insisted on being immediately allowed to see the Pope on
matters of high interest. His entrance was, however,
again refused, and he went away, but he was arrested on
leaving the palace. A loaded pistol was found upon
him."

FOX-HUNTING AT GIBRALTAR.—This noble sport, it
appears, will be followed with great spirit by the officers
of the garrison at the " Rock" during the ensuing sea-
son. The Gibraltar Chronicle publishes an account of a
meeting of the Calpe hunt, held at the quarters of Major
Lacy Walter Yea, for the purpose of taking into consi-
deration the most efficient measures to be adopted for
maintaining the hunt in all the style and spirit which has
distinguished it for the last 26 years. The meeting was
numerously attended by officers, who represented the se-
veral corps of the garrison (with the exception of the
Royals,) including the Artillery and Engineers. the 7th,
38th, 48th, and 79th Regiments. Major Yea was called
to the chair. A lengthened discussion ensued, from which
it appeared that the meeting, after inspecting the books,
&c., were of opinion that the average expenditure for sup-
porting the hunt might be taken at 1,400 dollars per
annum. A resolution was passed, " That as the garri-
in contained five regiments of the line, Engineers, Artil-
ry, Staff, &c., the expense of maintaining the hounds
ould be fairly divided into seven different divisions, one
nother for the Ordnance, and the re-
