Troubles in Spain.--The troubles in Spain
are by NO means over, and one weuid think
that the first use King AmadeO would feel
inclined to make of his recovered health
would be to take railway ticket for the
frontier, and wash his hands of the whole
concern. The Cariists in Catalonia are by
no means disposed of, but at present 1t Is
the Republican, the "uncompromising" Re-
publican party which is giving the most
name, of "intransigentes," have taken ad-
| vantage Of the CONSUMPTION, or "quineos,"
SO called because every fifth young man,
between the ages Of ls and 20, is pressed
eventually abolishing this System and
adopting that of general compulsory SER
| vice, but it has been obliged to ask the
Cortes to authorize an immediate levy OF
| 40, 600 men, on the ground that the Repuo-
licans and AlfoDsists were secretly getting
| up fresh risings, and that 1000 or(12 600
| more men might very possibly haye to be
sent to Cuba. The vote was carried, but
the Republican papers began Immediately
| a most violent appeal 10 arms, one OF them
winding up with the announcement that its
publication would be suspended, as the
editors were about to lay down the pen for
| the gun. ! The insurrection then broke out
! on somewhat extended scale, and though
Il
| life at Murcia, Malaga, Alcoy, and Bejar, is
ia still smouldering in Audalusia aud along
the Mediterrancan coast q correspondent in
the lUnirers, dated the 30th November,
states that s'Churiana, Alhauria ell Grande,
tstAlhaurta de la Tore, Torremolinos and
\ Velez Malaga, in .'the province of Malaga,
are in full revolt" The same correspon-
| dent asserts that Almeria refuses to submit
to the CONSUMPTION, that from Jaen, Baiieu
and la Caroline there are no certain news,
\ | A. ,rSo SAwSn hnfvx n,
!; Cadiz aud Seville aud Madrid are interrupt
ed, that Linares is in the power of one
guerilla chief, and the Sierra in that of an
other, that Saragossa is by no means paci-
fed and that the Republicans have COM
4 mitted several acts of violence, such as
5 iucendiarism, in the neighbeurhood of
/. Barcelona. Altogether the state of affairs
{. appears to be rather worse than better.

Herr Mallinckrodt's Motion.-LasS week,
q says the Tablet of the 9TH, the Prnssian
q Lower House threw out another motion
: intended to check the persecution. Herr
a Mallinckrodt moved a resolution that mem
: bers of ecclesiastical congregations should
not be excluded from teaching in the public
a schools, and 242 deputies voted with the
a Government to reject it, against 81 in it's
). favour. The Minister Won Falk took this
a opportunity to defend his policy by I'M
: meaning platitudes such as that the exclu-
- sion was in harmony with tile spirit of the
. constitution, and by the usual false state
q mert that the combat had been forced on
by the Church, and concerned "the rightfnl
4 interests of "the State, not the honour of
4 the Church"-it is indeed not question of
n honour but of liberty.
70 The New Prussian Peers.-The "Pairs-
IF chub," or batch of peers at Berlin, is not
IS SO large one as was expected. "A large
:. section of the Consecutive majority having
n promised the Governm ent not to vote ag
I 81 he
l. number of new peers is reduced to 25, and
"a they consist exclusively of generals, Gov.
re eminent officials, and landed proprietors
IS so that the measure is rendered as little
N offensive to the aristocracy as possible
r; Among the generals are Won Steiumetz anC
r Herwarth Won Bittenfeld among the Off
re cials, Won Balan, Philipsborn, Bitter, ant
a. Count Guido v. Henekei- DonHersmark, ;
s: Rittergutsbesitzer, who is already deput.
s. is said to be fair specimen of the land
ce owners summoned to the Upper House
at The question now is whether the ner
It. creation will be sufficient to form a per
We manent Government majority, and to carr
an through the Herrenhaus the other Liberia
Id and anti-Catholic measures which are /
do contemplation.
is The Belgian Liberuls.-Those interestin
no apostles of modern liberation, the Befgia
M Liberals, have discovered fresh metho
its of displaying their respect and considers
ton for the consciences of their Catholi
err fellow citizens. The Liberals have cor
S. stantiy violated the Law which provide
es against the dissertation of Catholic grave
Tvs yards. They have uniformly insisted o
de- inferring infidels and freethinkers amid ii
,lic resting places of the Catholic dead, notwitl
he standing that the Law of the land expressl
en-. forbids the interment OF non Catholics
ug the graveyaEds set apart and eonsecrate
oil for Catholic use. They have now the faG
to to come forward as defenders of legalit.
DIV and ander cover of the provisions of Il
md ordinary law to denounce the old Cathol
'iic usage of iirterripg Bishop in the vaul
led of his church. To insult the Catholic
ere they demand that all such intermen
his should take place in the common and de
ore ecrated cemetery. We wonder will the
emit next ask that the bodies of the Royal Fami
err of Belgium be taken from their tombs
will the Laacken Palace and buried in Il
of common cemetery.
