The Results of the Spanish Revolution.

Narrowly as some may have watched
the rise and progress Of this revolution,
rev have paused to consider the results
That must undoubtedly follow its sue
cessful termination. Never. since tbe
days OF the Reformation, has the supre
macy OF the papal government received
so severe shock as that sustained bv
the dethronement of Isabella of Spain
Heretofore, Spain has been regarded by
the Holy Father as the most efficient
prop OF the papacy,-the main bulwark
or the Vatican. Not more than wear
since, the pope sent Queen Isabella n
tiara OF roses asan emblem of her purity.
How far she merited this, it is needless
to say. Let the oppressed and wronged
millions Of Spain answer that, Their
ortbut decisive struggle has sufficient
~ shown in what light they regarded
her purity. But few days ago no Pro-
testant missionary could set his foot OH
spanish soil without danger of being
stoned to death, and the mere sale of
the Protestant Bible was regarded rs n
crime against church and state. Now
we hear of the establishment of q Pro-
testant church at Seville, at theinstance
OF an American consul, and we may ex
pect soon to see England following suit
In the good work, until not only Spain,
but the whole Of the benighted and
misrulednatlonso Of the earth shall know
that " God alone is King" The work
ofreformation in Europe is being speed
lily carried forward to its completion
and the day is not far distant when VIC
may expect to see the Italians march
boldly upon Rome, and Frenchmen
muster courage to hurl the last Napoleon
from his throne. The cause of the peo,
pie advances by sympathy and examSs
where it is otherwise repressed; and the
example now set by Spain will encour,
age the oppressed everywhere.

Severe Earthquakes in California

Several severe shocks of earthquake
have occurred at San Francisco and
other places along the coast. The first
and most disastrous Of these took place
about eight O'Clock on the morning of
Wednesday last. Twelve buildings in
all are reported as being totally demol-
ished in San Francisco, and others have
been badly shaken. We take the fol-
lowing particulars from the New York
Tribune;
A survey of the city of San Francisco
shows that the principle damage by the
earthquake is confined TO the lower por-
tion, below Montgomery street, and among
the old buildings on the made ground.
