FROM SPAIN.
Capt llAYMAN. who arrived on Sunday
from Malaga, whence be sailed on the Alb
ult informs, that Il was reported the French
Consul had been ordered 70 leave Gibraltar
IN eight days, and that 5000 British troop,
had arrived a Lisbon, al which reports the
Liberals were much elated. News Of distur-
Dances in tie different parts Of Spain were
received almost daily-and the day Ne sailed,
4 was rumonred that connections had occurred
AZ Algeziras 5etaeen the inhabitants and the
French troops, owing 70 the former having
boosted the Spanish dag over the French.
1000 persons had arrived al Malaga 70 be
transported TO different fortresses, for being
concerned IN tie Revolution.
As several British Gunb1ats were seen
coming out Of The Mediterranean, il was sup
posed the war between England and AIgiers
was az az end.
IL the French Consul has been ordered
from Gibraltar We presume il is for some per-
sonai affair. No British troops had arrived
al Lisbon--but tie manner ia which tie re-
port was received in Spain shews the spirit
which still exists there.

Master Hubbard has arrived 81 New York,
in tie ship Haunlba! from Liverpool. This y
young genius who has attained astonishing
celebrity 70 all the principal towns 10 Great
Britain aud Ireland. IN Liverpool he has
been their most attractive object for months
40 succession. During their grand musical
festival last autumn, his rooms were CONSTANT
~ crowded with visiters Of tie or. rank and
fashion. And 50 lately as his concluding e.
yening there, which was on the 81 ult there
was 50 great press Of company that many
we're obliged to return without being able %
gain admttance. The talent for which Mas
ter Hubbard is so celebrated, Is that Of being
able 10 delineate al a glance, every object Of
nsture or art with the utmost accuracy, taste,
and spirit. simply with pair of common scis-
sOrs, without any aid from the pencil. 10 this
manner he takes the most striking likeness
Is in bust, with such amazing rapidity, that
the visiter is scarcely seated before the like
cess Is finished. He has brought ont a fine
exhibition OF his cuttings; an Of which have
been extolled by the conn0isseurs OF works OF
taste and art in England. Scotland. and Ire
land. The exhibition consists Of classical rep
resolutions, sporting subjects. military hg-
ures- portraits Of distinguished individuals.
family groups, animals, landscapes, trees and
flowers. Painters seldom rank high 10 more
than one branch OF their art, but this little
prodigy IS allowed 10 excel 10 all.

demanded more. struck him upon tile breast
and across the face aud Injured him severely.
Previous 10 this Mrs. Denision had isuccee-
ded in waking the hired man, who 90 enter
ing tie room was fired at by one Of the gang
and thrown into the bed where Mr.. DenistOn
was, but afterwards taken and kicked under
the bed. The robbers not getting as much
money as they expected, perhaps was the
reason Of the last violence committed upon
Mr.. Deniston. 10 the mean tine Mrs. Den
iston had succeeded in rallying seine OF the
neighbours Mr. Deniston, on The condition

Fun Trimmings. -The accidents that hap
pen at and after these meetings are, and we
fear Will continue TO be, consequent upon the
carelessness of dismissed militia. We have
just heard of fatal one: A Young gentleman
of Torrington, named Hiram Phelps, 1ged "a
and only son Of Capt Benjamin Phelps, on re-
uroIng from muster Of Tie corps Of caya-
ny to which lie belonged, thought proper 10
discharge his pistols on the road, rather than
10 CARY them loaded. They were enclosed in
flannel cases made to it the inside Of the hoI-
STEERS He drew one, and being on horseback
with one hand TO his bride, attempted 10 pull
of the case with his teeth. Wien il was
partly drawn, the pistol went off, took effect
il his left breast, and killed him instantly.
We will not charge upon the memory of the
hue young man, who met with this sad mis-
fortune, any thing like gross carelegsness-for
nine of ten use firearms with less caution.
Nor do we insist that any one, who does mill
tary duty, should entertain any ridiculous
dread Of his own weapons but no caution
can be extreme 10 their proper management
