Young man named John Ttjen, employed in q

internal pains on Thursday, and died after brief
interval OF fortunes. post-mortem examination
will be made to-day, and Coroner Parslow holds an

The Spanish Insurrection I'm Serious
Progress = Radicalism At Audience
with tho Crown.
From Paris and Madrid we have kilograms
reporting the progress Of the Spanish revolu-
tionary instruction to late hour yesterday
evening The movement has assumed a most
serious aspect if it is not really alarming to
the cause of Amadeus crown Don Carlos
whereabouts is not known publicly but his
friends and supporters are in the field in
strong force 1t is alleged that the exiled
claimant of the monarchy has left Geneva in
disguise, and it is asserted positively that he
will be shot to death if he is captured with
arms in his hands on Spanish soil. His parti-
sans claim that he has fifteen thousand men
under arms the royalist War Office in Madrid
rates the muster of the rebels at eight
thousand muskets. The lowest total
even is quite sufficient to create Thermopylm,
in defiance OF great army, on the banks OF
the Douro or the Manzanares The govern
ment is excited and determined to support it's
authority by the exercise of the most rigorous
measures. A royal proclamation declares
number Of places in state Of siege. The
Cabinet refuses, absolutely, to supply any in
formation to the newspaper press respecting it's
own intentions or the Carlist strategy Cover
nors and generals in command in the provinces
which present points Of insurgent rendezvous
are energetic and multifarious in their appli-
cation to the Ministry for army rein
forcements Marshal Serrano has marched
for Navarro at the head of six thousand
troops Of the line. He will personally COM
mand the operations against the Carlists in
that department, and direct the entire army
in the field as generalissimo. Marshal Concha
will have high command. The opposing
forces have been in actual conflict. The
King gendarmes, in the province of Valla-
dolid, engaged, and claim to have dispersed
Carlist muster very much superior to them in
numbers. Politics loom up through the tumult.
The science Of party has been called to the aid
of the radicals. Doubt distrust and popular
alarm bid fair to afford the leaders of the
organization the enviable position of a
balance of power party near the person Of the
King Cortes has organized with Rosas as
President and ministerialists in the other
offices. Sefiors Gorilla, Moret and other lead
ing radicals have been presented to His
Majesty, despite the first allegation that the
republicans were in league with the Carlists.
Party revision and Cabinet reconstruction
with republican tendencies may do much to
restore peace to Spain, and to veil again and
temporarily from the eye Of the world the
embers of the citizen volcanic fire which
remain burning on the soil Of the Spanish
peninsula, and which bid fair to enlighten
Europe in its path to democratic self-gov-
eminent from the war-battled centre.

Tho War News from Mexico.

Our special dispatches from Matamoros
will be found to contain some very exciting
news Of the civil war in Mexico. The fate of
the struggle in the Northwest now hangs on the
possession of Matamoros, and if the city falls
the revolutionists will obtain the command
over the most important part of the Rio
Grande besides deriving great moral advan-
tages from the prestige attached to so impor-
tant victory. According to the latest intelli-
gence the revolutionists under Treviho and
Quiroga, after much hesitation and delay,
have made their appearance before
the Notifications of the city. General
TreviGo has issued o manifesto to the inhabi-
tants recounting the alleged grievances of the
Mexican people against Juarez Of whom he
speaks as q despot and usurper. AS a
matter of course, General Trevino called
upon the inhabitants to repudiate Juarez
and TO surrender the city. On the other side,
General Cevallos, the commander Of the gov
eminent troops in and around Matamoros, has
expressed confidence in his ability to hold
the city against the combined attack of the
revolutionists under Treviho and Quiroga.
Intelligence Of great import, if true, is the
rising Of the Lerdistas in the city Of Mexico
and the recall Of Rocha from the command Of
the army with view of suppressing it. That
no less commander than Rocha should
suffice for the purpose seems to show dam
gerous state Of affairs for the government Of

Lydia Shermnn-A Strange Verdict.

The jury has rendered verdict in the case
of Lydia Sherman Of murder in the second
degree. It is difficult to understand by what
process of reasoning the New Haven Solons
arrived at this conclusion. If deliberate
poisoning be not murder in the first degree
we do not know what is. Where person
takes the life of another without premedita-
ton. malice aforethought or deliberate pre-
paration, even when surrounded by brutal or
savage circumstances, a verdict of murder in
the second degree might be admissible but
there appears TO be nothing in the facts or law
in this case TO Justify such conclusion. To
kill by poisoning is the coolest and most de-
liberate act. The jury, probably, had repug-
nance to hanging, and particularly TO hanging
a woman, and that may have led to this
strange verdict. But that is a question Of law
with which the Jury had nothing to do. II
had properly only to consider the facts and to
render decision accordingly. Whatever
sympathy the jury might feel for the wretched
woman before it, or however oblivious it
might be Of her victim, who was out of sight
and in the grave, its duty was plain. There
was no middle course of action, if the obliga-
ton Of the oath administered to the jury had
been properly understood From the facts

While Congress has been discussing the
question of promoting shipbuilding and pro-
posing number Of schemes without acting
upon them, for protecting and substituting
steamship lines and ship builders, some of our
enterprising citizens have been, and are, at
work practically in constructing first class
vessels. There came to this port the other
day a new, splendid iron steamship from Will
mington, Del, for the trade between New
York and Richmond. She is now in the
harbor, and will make her first regular voyage
this afternoon. This is the Old Dominion,
belonging to the Old Dominion Steamship
Company, and was built by Harlan, Hollings-
worth & Co., of Wilmington. She is two
thousand two hundred and twenty tons
burden, forty-one feet six inches beam,
twenty three feet six inches depth of hold and
measures two hundred and sixty-three feet
over all. She is said to be- by good judges,
equal to, and to excel in some respects, the
best Clyde built steamers. She is built Of
American iron and by American mechanics.
If this company and these ship builders can
turn out such fine vessel what is to prevent
others doing the same? We understand q
number of other iron steamships are on the
stocks at Wilmington and on the Delaware.
Let us hope this is the beginning of large
business in home shipbuilding which will in
crease our steamship tonnage, and that Will
mington and the Delaware will soon rival the
