+" The London Times correspondent at
Madrid gives shocking account Of the
fighting at Malaga, which he says exhib>
tied all the best and worst features of the
national. character, and was remarkable
for thai headlong and feroeious contempt
ofjlife-4GsT his own as well as ether peo>
Plies hyes-of which the Spaniard is
more capable than any other race in Ea-
rope when his blood is up. The hope
lessness OF the contest seems. TO have
struck some of the popular leaders from
the beginning. The volunteer battalions
were deserted by their superior officers,
and the consequence was desertion from
the barricades almost en- DldSSe. It
seems ehat priest, by name Don En-
ridue Romero, went among the people,
and by his words, spoken and written,
prevailed on hepopular combstants to go
forth again. No less than three priests
were conspicuous at the barricades.
Z We hear of one firing upon the troops
from a window in the Church Of the Carr
men; of another whose weapon was an
air gun, with which he was enable to do
great execution before the attention Of
the soldiers was directed against him; we
hear of children, ten years old being
raised by their fathers above the barri-
cades, holding mere toy pieces, which,
however, they managed to discharge at
their assailants; we hear of young girls
with cartridge boxes at their waists and
pistols in their hands. We hear Of sol
diers advancing under shelter of the pris-
oners they had taken, and the bullets of
the volunteers finding their way to the
soldiers bodies through the bodies Of
their sacrificed companions We hear of
girls rushing forward to clasp the soldiers
in their arms, that their lovers might
dispatch them by stabbing them in their
backs. Nothing but despair could sug-
gest the insane resistance which took
place. Instances are mentioned in which,
as in some Of the narrowest lanes of the
District Of Porchel, handful of Volun-
teers held their ground against three
hundred soldiers, Most of the wounds
we're inflicted by the bayonet; not few
were dealt in cold blood after the conflict.
The greatest number of the dead belong
to the most abandoned class of society.
The Government reckons the killed on
its own side at fortyseight and the
woDn1ed at one hundred and fifty.

The Sentence Of TwstehelI for Murder.
Special to the Union and american.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.--The coart 10.
day refused to grant the petition Of
Twiehelfs counsel for new trial in the
Hill murder case After stating his
reasons, the Judge pronounced the
sentence Of death on the prisoner. In
answer to the usual questions, Twitchell
said he was convicted OF a murder Of
which he knew nothing.
During the pronouncing of the sem
tsnce by the Judge, a friend and con.
panion of the prisoner, who had been
unremitting in his attention and attend
anee during the entire trial tainted,
causing quite commotion in the court.
twill be remembered that Tiwtehel few
months since murdered his mother in
law. The high position in society Of the
parties concerned has given great promi-
nence to the trial, in which the best lave
vers in the State are engaged

There is good deal Of talk about the
Mexican treaty just published. 1t is the
general opinion that the Mexicans over

ously worded as to exclude claims for
moneys advanced or damaged received by
any body except Mexican authorities = y
1t is currently reported that this part
of the treaty was drawn up by Caleb
Gushing as Attorney from the Mexican
government.
On account Of the report of the Senate
Committee on Pensions not recommending

and have it discussed in open Senate. He
is confident as to the passage Of the bin.

t.. THESE can no longer be any doubt
as to GRANTS part in the late gold
panic. Whether he himself protited
by the bulling of FISK, jr., cannot
now be a~scertained; certain it is that
his brother-in-law, a pillar of the
Northern Methodist Church, did par
ticipate in the ~disgraceful panic;
nay, was the originator of it,
and prOited as much, if not
more than any one else before its cul-
minatiOn drove his associates of the
street and compelled him and them to
hide their diminished heads in the
privacy of their homes. Elsewhere
we publish FIsK's letter, which has
been supported by afidavits from
CHARLES MCINTOSH, FREDERICK w.
B~ANFIELD, 9. w. POLLARD and GEO.
CROUCH, the latter one Of the editors
ofthe New York Herald, who swears
that he saw FISK come out of Cor
BINS house on the 18th of September.

CHANCELLOR SOMERs has decided
in favor of Judge HUDSON, of the
Criminal Court, in the contested cleo
ton case of WALLACE VS.. HUDSON.
This was unexpected. TWAS believed
by many and prominent members OF
the bar, that the points of law and ev-
idence presented by Mr.. WALLACE
made his case stronger than was that
of PERKINS, who defeated Judge LEE.
But Judge SOMERs, upon a technical
ity that he feels fully sustains him,
decided otherwise. WALLACE has
appealed, as has Judge LEE. Both
eases, it IS expected, viii come up at
the next term of the Supreme Court.
The utmost fairness, impartiality and
good sense has characterized the trial
of these cases, Messrs. WALLACE and
PERKINS exhibiting not so much a de
sire for office as that the Law and the
Constitution should prevail.
