Royalty in Sad Plight.

Isabella II, Queen, of Spain for twenty yoars
past, has been drivon from her throne and from
her country. She has sought refuge in France,
where she is now inhabiiDg castle. owned by
Louis Napoleon. She is homely lady of forty,
und, in view Of the fact that she weighs 2r0, ,lbs
it might be said Of her thNt shc is mo sarline."
A sardine she certainly is, however, as regards
her royalty. She is not a pcrson of good charac-
tor or good morals; no moro than was hcrNmother
before her. There are three branches Of tho
Bourbon family the French, now long in exile;
the Italian, driven from the throne OF Naples q
few ycars bnck and the Spanish, now driven
from tho throne. of Sphin. The Bourbons have
been bad people, and now they arc pretty we'll
gone to the dogs. At present thero seems but
small probability that auy of them will eyer
reign again. Queen Isabella II combines in her
person the vices Of both the italian and Spanish
branches, her mother being Neapolitan Bourbon,
Her husband is a wretched nobody he is her
cousin us we'll as her husband. By him, she has
two or three children; and by divers other men,
much larger number. Her younger sister is tho
wife of the Duke de Moutpensier, son of the
dethroned Louis Philippe of Frunce.
This naughty and corpulent queen has, ataast,
by her misrule and her misdeeds, so provoked the
indolept spaniards, that they have risen and
driven her out of the country. Well for her that
with her crown was not demanded the head that
bore it, Such things have happened in France
and elsewhere. @N-ii - iel 'is
The leaders Of the revolution. Marshals Prim
and serrano, have organized Provisional Gov
crnment, which is working SO well that the whole
country is in profound pence. France is neutral.
Louis Napoleon receives Isabella not us queen,
but only ns a,woman in distress. This is ominous.
Napoleon scents trouble. He is discreet

@- Cox, the mulatto Sheriff elect of Darling
ton District, has given his bond-the names of a
few unknown men said to live in Charles,ou-has
received, by order of Gov. Scott. (so-called) his
commission, and it is supposed will tako his ~

this niger Sheriff, says:
CAL executions, controlled by resident lawyers,
have been taken out of the Office and in n few
days nothing will be left but executions for taxes
and confessions before tho Clerk. The LAWYERS
are determined not to entrust the interests of
their clients to an adventurer whose bond is as
worthless us he himself"
The Lawyers of Darlington have acted wisely and
we'll. When our. ScaIawag officials got into Office,
backed by their inefficient bonds, the lawyers of
Edgeheld, and the people too, will do well to fol-
low the precautionary measures of the wide awake
people of Darlington. And they will.
