FROM SPAIN.

We see nothing yet, in the intelligence from
Spain, to induce the belief that the cause of
the Constitution will be abandoned without
struggle. Indeed, there is some ground for
hoping that the struggle will be successful.
The detection of Abisbal does not seem to
have produced any alarming effect--Mina
still eludes the grasp of the French Generals,
and is actively engaged in harassing their
troops-and, what is of no inconsiderable i'm
poFtance in estimating the probability of Span
ish success, France finds it necessary to send
more men to the support of the Duke of An
gouleme.
Our readers will find the latest intelligence,
both from Spain and England, under the prop
er head.

Subscriber-that it was made since dssoIu-
ton of Copartnership; and likewise stating
that no property of any kind has come into the
Store for such purpose-Those statements
are false, and without the least foundation
to speak within bounds, it is a lie, wickedly
published on purpose to defame my character;

The Sea Serpent, it seems, is making his
annual visit upon our coast. He is right
welcome guest-we wish we had opportunity
to make our bow to his lengthiness. The
Hartford Mirror gives the following
SONNET TO TIA SEA SERPENT.
HugeSt that swims the ocean stream,
Welter upon the waters, mighty one,
And stretch thee in the oceans trough of brine ::
Turn thy wet scales up to the wind and sun,
And toss the billow from thy flashing fin;
Heave ~ deep breathings TO the oceans din,
And bound upon its ridges in thy pride;
Or dive down 10 its lowest depths, and in
The caverns where its unknown monsters hide,
Measure thy length beneath the gulf streams
tide;
Or rest thee on that navel of the sea
Where, floating on the Malestrom, abide
The krakens sheltering under Norway's lee I;
But go not to Nahant, lest men should swear
You are great deal bigger than you arc.

U.F We have been requested to remind the
inhabitants of the Centre School District that
a School Meeting is warned TO be held at the
Centre School House on Monday next. at a
o'clock, P. NJ. We do not know the particu-
lar objects of the Meeting but we hope there
will be a general attendance. If any thing
can be done, under our present organization,
to place the Schools of the District upon
proper foundation, the object is worth the eff
fort of every one. 1t is certain that our
Schools do Us little credit. Their deficiency
is a subject of regret at home, and Of reproach
abroad. If the evils now felt cannot be a.
volded under the present system, an effort can,
at least, be made to obtain q grant from the
Legislature, of such powers as might enable
the District at once to estabieh permanent
Schools, for both sexes, such as the population.
wealth, and reputation of the town require.
The whole town has an interest in the estab-
lishment Of such Schools; for no greater in
ducement can be held out to men of wealth
and leisure to reside among us.
