tional particulars Of the storm which swept
over that city and vicinity on Friday, Of last

The roof Of the Catholic Church, and of the

AFFAIRS IN SpA1N-EscAP1 OF THE QUEEN
MorHER.-The London Times, of the 3Oth
ult., contains the following intelligence from
Spain:
"a decree has appeared, oonfscatipg the
property of Queen Christina. Under cover Of
this measure she had left Madrid for Portugal
with tho sanction of the government, where
she will embark fer Italy or France. Much
of her wealth is safely invested in foreign Sc.
curities.
Notwithstanding - profound tranquil
ty, private advices report outbreaks at Madrid
on the 18th, when it became known thai
Christiana had escaped. A few barricades
were erected, but were pulled down by the Ma
tional Guards, and the opportune entry oil
some regiments of cavalry prevented much
mischief
''Saragossa continued restless, and the whole
province Of Arragon was inquiet. Carlis
movements were spoken of in one or two
quarters, and there are hints of military dis
affection in Gallica."

A CowHfD1Na AFFAIR IN NEW YoRk.-We
copy the following from the New York Eveu-
ing Post of yesterday. It will be seen that
Mrs. Swisshelm's doctrine that it is no harm
for gentleman to wink at lady, is not as
popular as it might be with brothers having
good looking sisters:
Between ten and eleven o'clock this fore
noon cowhding affair took place at the cor
ner of Greenwich and Robinson SITS. A good
locking young lady, named Mary A Dyer, it
appears, had received couple of love letters
from some unknown person, but she suspected
they were sent by young man named Joseph
B. Dyas, employed as a clerk in q store in
Greenwich street. 1t is alleged that Dyas had
winked at Miss Dyer in the street on one or
two occasions, and it had somewhat irritated
her She told her brother of the audacity of
Dyas, and this morning the young lady &C.
companied her brother to the store of Dyas
for revenge.
Miss Dyer. it IS said, called the offender out
OF his store into the street, when her brother
Immediately fell upon him and chastised him
| severely with cowhide. Dyas had his face
badly cut with the whip, but finally escaped
from the enraged brother.
All the parties were brought before Justice
Clark, at the First District Police Court, fol-
lowed by a crowd of people.
Miss Dyer made an affidavit that Dyas used
Insulting and abusive language towards her
| in the street, followed her and threatened
her life in q letter previously written by him.
Joseph B. Dyas, the injured young man
made complaint against Henry Dyer, the
| brother of the lady, for the assault.
Justice Clark committed Dyer to prison in
| default of three hundred dollars bail.
This is the second complaint made against
Dyas by the young lady. The first ono wa.
| entered at the Jefferson Market police las
| week. Dyas is q tall, od.looking young
| man, with black bushy hair. He wears mus.
| taches and an imperial. His red cheeks wer,
| marked with heavy stripes.

sssnss Of Hsrrer- nsidsnts u the CAolssa Ut
The New Haven Journal publishes the fol.
lowing extract from letter written BY gen.
tleman in Barbados, to his friend in that
city; respsoting the rssages Of cholera on that
island:
"God forbid that you should ever witness
what We have experienced since your depar-
ture. The deaths were 20 numerous at one
time, that vehicles Of all kinds were used to
convey corpses. The horse carts, as they are
called, that stand for hire in the square, were
very generally used. Six, eight have seen
nine-cofins in one cart, and they were 80
badly constructed. that in passing over the
cutters or water. courses, they would literally
fall to pieces, and the driver, who was pro-
vided for the occasion, would stop and nail up
the collins in the street, to prevent the bodies
falling out. Many, very many, were carried
to the grave in hand carts many on the peo-
ple's heads; and am told that the demand
was so very great for collins, that many per-
sons, particularly children, were carried by
their parents merely wrapped in tarred sheets.
You may have heard of the " Dead Car"
have seen 1.-THE first time was one evening
in the bay. A gentleman and myself were
walking up to the garrison. Just as we came
up to 1t, 1t had stopped opposite one Of those
alleys leading to the beach, the driver, hid.
eous looking negro, looked down the alley,
shout ed out" Got any down there ?'-The
negroes were afraid to touch dead body, even
of their own relations, and too frequently the
drivers had to attach q rope to the coffin, and
drag it into tho cart the best way they could.
From an early age, Twas taught self reliance,
and have always endeavored to look things
straight in the face. but I must confess, that
never before experienced so much difficulty in
doing it. Up to this time, believe, we have
lost from cholera, some IS 900, or ono eighth
of the entire population and even now, be
lieve the deaths throughout the Island average
fully 100 per day. never heard of cholera
proving fatal so quickly as it has here. Just
imagine man apparently in perfect health
at any rate walking about-and not co mplain-
ing at p. m, and yet he shall be in his grave
at 6 p m, in five short hours and I believe
there have been many such cases.

The Italian Opera at New York-Grisi and
Maria

The Italian Opera at New York-Grisi and
Maria.
Over Eve thousand persons were present at
Castle Garden, New York, on Wednesday
evening last, on the occasion of the second re.
presentation of Norma. The musical critic.
of Gotham are quite unanimous in their un.
qualified praises of Grisi and Mario. After
eriticisiDg the performers and the performance
the Tribune thus proceeds:
"The audience last night was three times 81
large as any that Madame Grisi ever ap-
peared before at the Italian opera in Paris
and twice as large as any Of London. The
private box system, it may be remarked, OF
the European houses prevents any depth to
| the boxes, each holding only four persons. Sc
| with many tiers and a large house. compare
| lively few are accommodated. The open, dem
| ocratic.,ike boxes or benches of Castle Gar
| den and, indeed, of all our theatres, give
| them advantages in holding numbers over the
| most famous the aires of Europe Even Niblo'i
contains one thousand persons more than the
great Academic of Paris, and the new opers
house in Irving Place, holding between four
and five thousand, has no rival of its kind il
| Europe; while the theatre about to be opened
Just built on the site Of the late metropolitan
| uall-will accommodate between three ant
four thousand. So in point of great theatres
New York has no equal in Europe or tn,
world.
| The people have found out the vastnea o
Mr.. Haekett's undertaking-in giving Italian
| Opera, with artists superior to any now il
Europe-and begin to understand the vast in
feriority, artistioalIy considered, of ooncsr
singing, to the great conception Of part lik
that Of Norma by Madame Grisi The sooner,
| of Castle Garden cannot be good but tina
apart, there is nothing now there which ma,
not challenge criticism. The chorus il tn,
best ever heard on the stage in the city An,
the orchestra ia at once the most select, aoou
rate and refined Whish has yet played hero il
