Spain promises to crown her edifee within a
month, but this sibyIline utterance gives but
little satisfaction. At present no one works or
studies in the Peninsula, except to get himself
qnartered on public Office, for which there is
run as intense as in Italy. Formerly the fashion
was to become monk, but the revolution has
left such OthellOs without occupation. The Duke
of Madrid seems to have NJ longer chance, his
Carlst generals resign, and the clergy, with
Swiss fidelity, are leaving him for the Prince of
Asturias-
At Rome His Holiness has received fresh ad-
that of the Conlte de Chambord, which will not
improve his prospects to reign over France as
Henry the Fifth. 1t is curious that all the de-
throned have subscribed to the Pope's new

| The Spaniards in Paris are becoming restless,
and assure their friends that great events may
/ soon be looked forward to in the Peninsula. The
relations between Serrano and Prim are at the
/ last point of endurance AS Prim has sunk very
much in popular esteem-is no longer the 50 con-
fdenee man - of the Regency, saviour of
society in the eyes of the masses. the time is

wants a change of puppets-if nothing more.

The Bob Sawyers are in very bad humor, at

The " social question - has in France taken
the place of the rights of man. Two things
have not changed since the creation of the world
death and misery, and to evade the latter,
"strikes form the approved panaeea every
where in the Empire. Foundry men, sugar
bakers, tailOrs, and washer-women are ON strike,
and the omnibus officials have sent in their de-
mand for a uniform increase of half franc per
day for all salaries. 1t is this struggle between
employer and employed, which constitutes the
future black spot for the Government.
At an election meeting held last evening, a
