SPAIN-There seems to have been very seri-
gu. insurrection at Barcelona against the Regent
Espartero. The troops, under Zprbano, we're first
insuted, and or resisting, were assailed by the
people f:om every side-hurliug bricks and mis-
siles from the house-tops-and led on by Durando.
The government leader after having horse killed
under him by a chest Of drawers, retreatcd to the
citadel Hosilities were soon after Suspended
rlle junta of Barcelona issued proclamation sta
ting the demands of the people to be l. Esparte-
ro's reinforcement; 2. Constitutional Cortes, and
). Justice and Protection fer National Industry.
The Cortes promised aid to Espartero, who pre-
pared for bonbardiDg Barcelona, and issued his
proclamation against the insurgents. His prePar-
alton had the desired effect, and his power was
thus greatly strengthened by the outbreak.
% The Union mistakes us entirely. We found
fault with it neither for saying that Com. Macken-
zie would be- acquitted by naval court martial,
nor for calling the navy the aristocratc branch of
the service but for intimating that he would Of
course be acquitted by that tribunnl-no matter
what might be his guilt-6ecaase that was the
aristocratic branch of the service. This was the
spirit of its remarks, and conveys, we think, re-
proach unjust to the impeached tribunal as it is
injurious the efficiency of this right of the
nationa defence. The Editors suggestion that
the rules and regulations of the Naval and Military
Courts ought to be modelled upon those of our civil
tribunals, seems to us quite as novel as his dehni-
zion of the word aristocracy by which he :" means
he power and the will to do as they please" Nor
cap see what the Suns gas about upstart boys
and crouching slaves has to do with this case of
Com. Mackenzie. The following article from the
SIadisonian strikes US peculiarly just and we'll
timed; and we shall most cheerfully comply with
its recommendation:
The Z. S. BRIG SoMERs.-The melancholy
occurrence board this ship, and the conse-
quences of good or of evil to those concerned re-
qlire the greatest caution and deberaton before
he public mind arrives at any conclusion concern
ing it. The facts can only be truly and fully ex-
tibted before the constituted tribunals of the
country nnd it becomes therefore the duty, as we
believe of the conductors of the public press, to
Sustain, as far practicable, from giving express
sion to opinions, until full and fair investigation
IS made into the matter. The Government has
ordered that inquiry. A Court composed of men
If the highest character, and whose names are
most endeared to the country, has already been de-
,ailed. Justice will he done-full justice. We
therefore deem i. improper to admit into our col
umns any further remarks or comments upon the
.ubject except such as the Department shall au-
norize. Nothing has yet been published under It's
authority. Justice to the dead and to the living,
alike require that we should do nothing to prelu-
dice the case in the mind of the court or of the
country The honor of the service, and the In
tegrity uf the laws, are safe in the hands OF the
public tribunals. Let us abide their decision.

Political History" 1t will be found to contain
many very interesting particulars concerning the
Pilgrims who FIRST landed upon the Shores of New
England. Their original Charter with the
Of its signers is given.
CHRISTMAS PREsENTs.-Mr. Winchester, OF
The New World, has just published an octave
pamphlet of nearly 20 pages, double columns, con-
tanning selections from the best English Annals,
original Tales, &c-the whole illustrated by some
forty engravings.

responsible source, confirms the rumor that's great
number of Bibles were recently burned by the
Catholic priest near Chazy, in Clinton Co., n y,
as stated from the Journal of Commerce. 1t states
that effort. have been made within the last year
to introduce the Bible extensively among the Ca
tholc population and that they have been success
fpl. Quite number, in consequence, have left
that church, and this enraged the resident priest
that he resorted to the outrage alluded to. The
people generally of CRAZY condemn it strongly,
ard are engaged in making up the loss to those
who suffered.
