service, and exhibited to their astonished eyes the

wondered, but never molested the criminal. TAX
ing advantage of such extreme good nature, New.

church. and rode of on the Staunton turnpike some
twenty miles, when he turned the animal loose and

NIGHT SESSION.
The House met at balf-past o'clock, ,and turned
its attention to bills in their early stages many of
which were advanced one step in the march on
wards to their final passage or rejection-a point
which it is feared many that are on the table will
never reach. Nothing of especial interest was
finally acted upon. At about o'clock the House
adjourned.

Capture Of Moro Castle.

1t is laughable sometimes to hear our public
speakers, in the frenzies of filibuster eloquence
talk of sending (" a frigate to Havana to batter
down and seize the Moro Castle" These enthu.
siasts seem totally ignorant of the character of
that fortress and the other defences of the har-
Dor of Havana. There is no doubt, as has been
asserted by recent visitor, that the harbor is
one of the best in the world, being deep enough
for vessels of the largest class, and sufficiently
capacious to accommodate q thousand ships
The entrance is by channel three-quarters of
a mile long, but so narrow that only single
vessel can enter at once, and fortified through
the whole distance with platforms, works, and
artillery. The mouth of this channel is secured
by two strong castles. That on the eastern
side (called the Moro Castlel is built in the form
of triangle, fortified with bastions, and mount
ed with forty pieces of cannon, almost level
with the water. On the opposite side Of the
channel is another strong fort (called the Pun
ta) connected with the town Of the north. The
city is situated on the western side of the har-
Dor, and is surrounded by ramparts, bastions,
and bitches. Besides these Notifications, it is
surmounted with works, all of them furnished
with artillery, even to profuson. A square cit
adel (El Puerte) stands at the northeast corner
Of the town. This work, also, has heavy can
non, and here the treasures of the government
are deposited. 1t was at the foot Of the hill

PERILs OF THE SPANISH GovERNMENT-The
Madrid correspondent of the London Times as
serts that the present government of Spain is
in most perious situation. lnsurrect,on he
considers not improbable, and expresses the
opinion that the army is ripe for revolt. He
adds:
"a circumstance, which is far from adding
to the strength of the present cabinet, is the
GOODNESS. which now notoriously exists between
this court and those of the Tuieries and ST.
James. The Duke of Alba, on his return from
Paris the other day, brought message from
the Emperor of the French, to the effect that
he disapproved the line adopted by the court
and government here, and held it to be entirely
misudged The Emperor's favorable reception
of General Concha is cited as another proof Of
his unfavorable disposition towards the ruling
powers here and it is further stated, although
am unable to say with what degree of truth,
that the fugitives from Saragossa have met with
treatment in France far superior to that usually
shown to persons quitting Spain under similar
circumstances.
"The French minister here, / am assured,
does not scruple openly to condemn the pro-
ceedings of the Spanish government. He still
suffers from the effects of his wound, and is ex-
pected shortly to leave Madrid for Paris. 1t
is understood that the Countess of Montijo, Ma
poleon ILLS mother-in-law, is on anything but
good terms with Queen Christina, and one Of
the first public acts of the Duke Of Alba, after
his arrival in Madrid, was to vote with the ma
jority of the Ayuntamiento against the altera
tions in the Puerta del Sol.
"The government is driven to such extremi
ties for cash, that they are actually owing the
prizes in the last lottery that was drawn"
