The sombre chastisement of the waters,
eternally tormented, was about to begin. A.
lamentiDg voice went up out OF all this waste.
Preparatives, doleful and confused, were being
made in immensity. The doctor studied what
was under his eye, and lost not one of its de-
tails. Otherwise, there was nothing of con-
temptation in his look. One does not contem-
plate hell.
A vast commotion, still half latent, though
plain enough in the troubled distance, aocen-
tuated and aggravated more and more the
wind, the mists, the surgings. Nothing is so
logical as the ocean, nothing more absurd. This
incongruity with itself is inherent in its
sovereignty, and is one of the elements Of its its
amplitude. The wave Is, without ceasing.

The Spanish Throne.

Affairs in Spain appear to be approaching a
crisis again, as every mail brings advices of new
revolts and instructions. A head is wanted for
the Government, without which permanent peace
can never be secured. The telegraph states that
" the Captain General of Madrid has written n
letter to Serrano in which he says that the imme-
date choice of n King is indispensable, in order
to put an end to the wide spread immortality and
deplorable anarchy and disorders which prevail
throughout the country. The letter was read in
the council of ministers and created q profound
sensation"
Serrano is now Regent, that is, a person chosen
to act as ruler of a monarchy, in the absence of
a King or Queen. But a Regent does not satisfy
n people who think they must have a King.
There are several aspirants to the Spanish throne,
but each of them has some faults, and is con-
sidered not the right man. 1t now looks as if
either Marshal Serrano, the Regent, or General
Prim, who is at the head of the War Depart
ment, will by a coup dc efof, aspire to the throne,
proclaim himself King, and hold his position
purely by force.
No republican form of government could exist
in Spain at present, because the habits, tastes
and education of her people are purely monarch
cal. To sustain a republic requires that the
masses be intelligent and educated with liberal or
democratic ideas, which is not the case in Spain.
Consequently a monarchy will be the best form
of government for her, and a King she doubtless
will soon have.

1t will be observed that the learned Judge does
not dcign TO say a word about his ,crit being in va
rance with his order-on the 9th, on the 10th, and

An eminent writer on Admiralty-Judge Belts. of
the Southern District Court Of New York, sets forth
the importance Of a fixed and settled practice of
Courts in the following words
