How THE FREEMAsoNs MANAGED THE Re-
yoLUTIoN IN SPAIN.-A Madrid letter to
the London NeaoS says "The whole of this
insurrectionary movement has been under
the direction of revolutionary committee,
most of whom, | am told, are members Of
the Freemasons' Society--of which there
are not less than forty-nine lodges, num-
bering twenty-one thousand members in
Madrid-and who have for months past
been drilling and arming the people in pre-
paratioG for this outbreak. So successful
had been these efforts that for the last few
days there have been in Madrid no less
than twenty thousand men, all armed with
rnuskets or revolvers 1.-THE latter the most
common weapon), and ready to act at any
moment against the Government. Nor was
the influence Of this Junta, which. of course
acted in combination with Generals Sierra mo
and Prim, and the others confined to the
people. They had friends in many Of the
public departments; and every TELEGRAM
which was received in Madrid was read hv
them as soon as by the President of tbe
Council, General Concha."

GRAssuoPPERs IN TEXAS-STARTLI
SIGHr.-The plague of grasshoppers Is
again sweeping over large area OF Texas.
I'm to last adyices it had not reached Dali
las, none having been nearer than Mans
field, Tarrant county, according TO the Dali
las Herald. That paper, however, has
heard Of them of several places on the
frontier.
At the Sulphur Springs on the Brazos, in
the county of Hood, they appeared in
clouds on Monday the 2lst ultimo, and ate
ND every kind of vegetation. When they
first appeared it was thought by the camp
ers around the Springs to be cloud, and
preparations were made for rain; they
made noise in their flight very similar to
q storm of wind and rain. When they
came nearer, however, they began to de-
scend, and covered the earth in every di-
rection, consuming ali garden stuffs and
other green vegetation they could find.
The following extract Of letter from
John Fl. Cochran, Esq, dated at Belknap
on the 10th Of last month, describes the
first appearance Of the pest:
"On yesterday, the 10Th, l saw a sight
which hope no mortal man will ever see
again. About o'clock P. NJ. went to the
dosr, and observing that the sun shone but
dimly, looked for the cause. / saw IN the
distant west what took to be the smoke o!

perceived that it was not smoke. What Il
