we nave every reason to expect that the contest
will soon be renewed in SPAIN unless the diabolcal
plan Of assassination is resored to, which, we do
hesitate to say, is very confidently spoken of in
letters from Madrid. Surprising, however, the Min
lister preserves his life and his place, and his Master
his Grown, if the pious war assumes more formi-
dabe aspect, of the alternatives to which we
have before alluded mus, be adopted
The FIRST leaves the evil in the same state as be-
fore, and the French Cabinet in forced and pre-
carious position. as the pretensions Of the Clergy
render it necessary for their army to continue per-
manently in Spon and consequently exposed to all
kinds OF risks, mote particularly il, through foreign
influence, any thing like rational government is es.
tablished in Portugal. The second cannot be car.
ried into effect least to such an extent as is ne.
cessary; for how that ministry suddenly
undertake to grant institutions favorable freedom
after employing so many years for the sole purpose
of destroying them and when il has not fulfilled
the capitulalions made two years ago. although
sanctioned by the French Government, and sup
ported by the word and influence of the Duke
D'Angoueme!
No alternative therefore seems left but to increase
the French army, the same army that has uniformly
supported Ferdinand against his people. and with
the greatest Indifference beheld the insults heaped
on the Constituencies. IT, in 1925 however, the
French convey another army into Spain, they will

L would inform the inhabitants of Alex

their city for equestrian exhibitions, and
would respectfully solicit their patronage to
the establishment. They think they are
warranted in saying their stud of horses
Is second to none in the United States
Their performers have been engaged from
the different circuses in America, and most of
them possess the merit Of first rate performers
in their different lines of acting; at least they
have met with universal applause since they
have been engaged in this company. The
managers are confident that they will please
any audience that may favor them with their
attendance.

By reference to the Congress proceedings,
IT will be seen, that resolution has been IN
troduced into the House Of Representatives,
the District Committee to examine
into the expediency Of revising and rendering
uniform, the Penal Laws now in force IN the
District of Columbia; and Of building JG'i
in the said District.
We scarcely need inform our citizens that
il is contemplated to build the jail spoken Of
BY the resolution, in the City of Washington
We, therefore, suggest the propriety OF an
application being made, on our part, without
delay. We have often suffered by Procrasti'
nation, and ought to benefit BY dearly bought
experience.

MONEY IN NEW-YORK.

The New York Commercial says
that MONEY is not SO easily obtained
in New York, at the present time, as it
has been for two or three years past.
And many of those who would have
been glad to loan money at five percent,
are willing now to become borrowers
at six.
The cause of this change Is the great
increase Of business, which prevents

Coastantinople, Feb. 25.--Though this
capi.1l is more tranquil than could be
expected, the fermentation continues
among the Janisaries, and the most Sc
rious alarm exists. Four Ortas who
received orders to march against the
Greeks have refused to go-"We will
not march, say the Janisaries, till the
heads of three Of the Sultans minis
ters are delivered to US. Some more
chiefs have been arrested and executed.
The Grand Vizier and the Pacha OF
Buiukdere have concerted measures to
prevent a new explosion. Some more
chiefs of the instruction have been ar
rested and secretly executed.
There are various reports IN circula-
ton relative to the late Grand Nizier
Ghalib Pacha; but it seems difficult TO
believe in his recall, though it is desired
bv very numerous party. His mo-
derate system could not support itself
in the critical circumstances in which
the Porte now is.
The Marquis D'Ezragu arrived cX-

\ very affecting trial for forgery
lately took place at Bristol, Eng. MIR.
Savary, a Young man, the son OF re-
spectacle banker, of that city, plead
guilty at the bar, to charge of forg-
ing bill of EXCHANGE, signed with a
fictitious name The plea Of "guilty"
was wholly unexpected by the court,
and being delivered in firm voice pro-
duced a great effect, particularly on the
Judge, lord Clifford, who changed color,
and remained silent for some time
At length, looking earnestly in the pri-
soner's face, he enquired if he had been
induced to make that plea in the hope
ofpardon-he replied that he had done
it deliberately. His lordship told him
10 consider short time before he de-
tcrmincd to persevere in that plea-the
prisoner "shook his head, reclincd on
his hand, and again covered his face,
agitated by grief.
Clerk of the lrraigns. -"Shall enter
the verdict, my lord -
The Recorder.-"W ait short time,
The prisoner was then removed; and
on being brought back, and saying that
he persisted in the plea, the Judge, pnt-
ting on his black cap, addressed him in
a very solemn manner, and after urging
him not TO indulge the hope of par
don, he proceeded to pronounce the
sentence Of death. The prisoner seem
ed to lose all power of breathing, and
dropped down his head. Mr.. Smith,
one Of the prosecutors, who had before
attempted TO address the court, made
way through the crowd by the witness
box, and very agitatingly exclaimed 4;
"My lord, as the prosecutor, recon-
mend him to mercy, if mercy can be
shown The consequences OF his crime
were limited, the public have suffered
nothing-hardly any thing"
"Lopd Clifford bent back in his seat,
greatly affected, but made no reply
The prisoner was then removed from
the dock, amidst the deathly silence OF
crouded court, many Of the persons
present well knowing the prisoner, and
his father the banker"
