SPAIS.-There are those who are sanguine
enough to anticipate the establishment of a
Republic in Spain. Itrequires an exceeding
ly sanguine disposition to anticipate such a
change. If it is made, it will not be more
permanent than the French Republic. The
people are not capable of governing them
selves and if they have sense enough to as
certain the fact, would soon hand over the
reins to master. Yet, if ever there was a
country which had reason to detest and de-
spise monarchy, it is Spain. Can any thing
be more absurd, degrading and irrational
than government in which supreme power
may be lodged in the hands of an imbecile,
and, as in the case of the present Queen, is
lodged in the hands of woman who is not
only destitute of ordinary intelligence, not
only incapable of governing others, but of
governing herself, and whose morals are so
corrupt that her name has become scandal
to her sex and to the nation. With such an
illustration of monarchy, one would think
that whatever there is of intelligence and of
public and private virtue in Europe, would
at once rise in arms against royalty.

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
writer in the London OuarterIv Ravie


A writer in the London Quarterly Review
says:
"of Parliamentary eloquence we rather decline to
peek. When there were such tn nes grand
speeehee-we are willing to believe they we're very
9rand-they had seldom reporters with short hand
pens, and most of them died.. Anurediy the art 10
extinct and there ara great speeches now. There
are long speeches and sarcastic speeches. and creek
shs lips Of Burke. Pit and Fox o. more recent .iii
from Canning and Brousham.
I'VE have frequently heard it asked, whether
here was much Wit In the House. and have never
known any variation Ia the reply. Very seld sm. In
Heed. 10 . coed thing said within these walls. Yet
no House of Commons 10 an induIgent audience,
where it likes the speaker; bat here, as esewh.
the most ssnile anecdote execrably told, will be en-
iursd from . favorite, VIII an unknown man will
receive groau In return for IN epigram."
There is, however, this redeeming trait in
the debates both of the House of Commons
and the House of Lords They are at least
dignifed and decorous if not very brilliant
and pungent. Gross personalities are ex-
eeedingly rare, and. if members fail to pro-
duce any very startling effect by oratory,
they certainly never attempt to make a stri-
king impression by hard knocks. In this
respect, the Parliamentary debates of Eng
land present a model which our own Con-
gress might initiate without disadvantage
All the fame which has been achieved by the
speaking talent of that body, has been neu-
tralized by the coarse invective and even re-
sorts to violence which have sometimes oc-

PRETTY GooD.-Dr. Rice, of st. Louis, the
distinguished Presbyterian divine, has beer
challenged by company of transccndcntal
spiritualists, of that city, to public debate
on the merits of their prctcntions, as conpar.
with the claims of Christianity. lie declined
on the ground that they had no settled princi-
pal among themselves, and with other reasons
gave the following:-"I am not sure that |
should have fair play in such discussion. /
am informed that our spiritual lecturers arc
generally mediums, and often speak as they arc
impressed by the spirit. Whilst might sup
pose myself contending with Mr.. L, then
l mightreally be cncountcring Thos. Jefferson
or BENZ. franklin or Lord Bacon. Now, l
81 ould hesitate to meet such men in debate,
even when they are in this lower sphere.
cannot therefore, run the hazard of meeting
them after they have been so long in higher
sphere especially without previous notice.
