MADRID, May 6.
In the Cortes yesterday the article of
the national constitution guaranteeing
liberty of worship was adopted by a
vote of 164 against 40.
Zaine, the Prime Minister, strongly
urged the postponement of the contem-
plated ministerial change until the form
of government difficulty was settled
upon, which, after an interchange OF
ideas, was agreed to.
A Carslist conspiracy has been dis
covered in Barcelona. Thirty-aix ar
rests have SO far been made in connec-
ton with the affair. Many army off,
GERS are implicated. Important papers

In the Vice Chancellor Court to. day
the case OF the United States of Ameri-
ca Us. Colin NJ. Rea came up for decls-
ion. The suit was brought to obtain
from the defendant an account of and
delivery over of money and goods re-
ceived by him while acting as agent OF
the Confederate government during the
late insurrection. The Vice Chancellor,
Sir VIM. James, in his decision said
there was no evidence to show that any
money orders belonging to the plaintiff
in his own right, as distinguished from
his right as successor to the Confeder-
ate government, had reached the hands
Of the defendant. Judgment was given
In favor of defendant with costs.

Episcopal Church, in New York
after the usual matjn, prayers incident to
Sunday morning, the misSal services were be-

pIlccd choir, aud attended acolytes, and the
musical services were, as usual, rendered excel
IcntIy. There was fine display of flowers on
either side OF the altar offerings of the pious
ladies' OF the congregation. The altar itself was
cxqulsltCy decorated with gold and silver lace,
and when the candles were lighted the entire
sanctuary was enwrapped in a mclowed light,
which showed off the altar and its surroundings
most oiicctullly, the scene being rendered none
the less imposing by the clouds Of Incense that
that ct certain times during the services rolled
up from the cenSer swung by an attendant
acoytc. The earnest piety of the congregation,
the gorgeous vestments OF the officiating priests,

sanctuary, tho very stiffness of the worshpers

HIGH IIEELED BOOTs. The London Lancet
Sensibly diScnurSes upon this subject, and We
heartily endorse Its language. 1t says:
The custom Of wearing high boot heels,
and those too so much smaller than the ac,
tual heel of the wearer as to afford no solid
,upport, but only balancing point, is source
ot much mischief, In the first place, it throws
the centre Of gravity Of the body so lar forward
that free and gracefully erect carriage is I'M,
possible. Secondly, there being no firm sup
port to the heel, ladies are very apt 20 twist
the ankle suddenly BY over balancing them,
selves; and this is not only bad in itself, but
the fear of its occurrence makes them assume
a timld, miuciug gait. And thirdly, the effect
of driving the foot constantly forward into the
toe OF the boot, is to produce very ug y anC
painful distortion"
