LOSING. CREDT.-The quiet manner in
which the Spanish Bourbons we're deposed,
and the comparative order that has prevailed
on the Iberian peninsula since that event, have
given the world much higher opinion of the
Spanish people than they have either obtained
or merited for many years previous. But now
tne cable brings news of disturbances that are
really serious, as will be seen by reference to
our telegraphic columns. A Carlist rising is
no new thing in Spain, but it is thing which
is singularly irreconcilable with the new and
intelligently liberal spirit that is supposed to
have taken possession Of the Spanish people

A CuRIosrTY.-In excavating ON Congress
street recently, in order to lay the pipes of the
water company, a curious copper coin was DIS
covered about the size of a haff cent, so worn
by time that the inscriptions thereon are only
partially legible by the aid of strong magni-
flying glass; On the diverse side is the head,
evidently of one of the old Roman emperors,
with the ending minus" of one of the words,
and " tor" of the other; and beneath the head
can be made out the Roman number XVII.
On the reverse side is a figure that cannot be
deciphered. Whether this Is a coin issued dur
ing the reign of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus,
who ascended the threne as Emperor Of Rome
in A. d. 121, and the letter G on the coin has
become erased by time, or whether the coin be-
Iongs.to the time of Antoninus Plus (the faith
er-in-law Of Marcus Aurelius), or whether it
had nothing TO do with the Roman Emperors
at all, and the, idea that minus stands for Anto-
minus, and tor for imperator, XVII. for
CxXVII, is mere fgment Of the brain, and
that after all it is coin of only moderate am
tiquity, must be left to persons better posted
than ourselves. s sdl ~ Eia araf4,f

TIE New HoRsE CARs.-re Yesterday, Mon
day, morning supeti intendent Kicker PLACED
upon the Spring Street line the new oneIhofse
cars. They are calculated for sixteen passen-
gers each, eight on a side Fora day OF two
they will be run by two horses. They weigh a
thousand pounds less than the large two-horse
cars, are finished in fine style, have no rear
platform orly ono low STEP and look some-
thing like smafi omnibus
The feature of most interest is the method of
collecting the fares, patented by ]. b. Slawson
of New York. The arrangement consists of an
oblong box, placed upIisht at the front of the
car, with glass windows ini SO that both driver.
and passengers can see within. Like the car
sleighs in use last winter, the passenger drops
his fare into the top of the box, the driver sees
il 10 correct and lets it fail by touching asprsng,
from the bottomof the box lor rather, a brass
disk at the bottom of the box), into an iron safe
below, and then the disk flies back ready for
another fare. If passenger doesn't settle on
entering the car, tho driver touches the bell.
Should the passenger not have the exact change
he notifies the driver by pressing Q brass plate
in the front door, labelled "ChaDge," by which
pressure a bell is rung. He passes his money
through the aperture to the driver, who returns
the change through the same aperture. By
this means the front door does not have TO be
opened in cold weather. Passengers will no
tice the placard in regard to fares posted con-
spicuolsly in every car.
