Memphis on the 2jth, Pamela coun-
ty by no means failing to send Il fair
representation Although the rain
fell in torrents from twelve TO four
o'clock Tuesday morning, the tvains
were crowded with people, old aud
young, rich and poor, bent on pay

eleven clock uatjI long past mid

The procession following Momas.
ID the afternoon was the longest we
baye ever seen, rivaling the best dis.
pay ever made in the Crescent CITY.
IN the variety and the number Of
characters represented.
While tue procession was MOVING
down the street their ais, passed =
solemn funeral procession, headed
ty a brass band, and many people
thought this procession belonged in
some way to the procession OF Tie
hing OF the Carnival, not thinking
OF the fact that people died and
was to be buried as well on daysg civ,
en- over to fun and sport as other
days although they admitted they
could ent see the point, as was the
case N many .ot the costumes and
manners of the troops of burlesopcs
passing.

Affairs in Spain.

The news from Spain as usual is filed with
particulars showing the unsettled state of affairs
in that country. The Carlists have renewed
the siege OF Biboa, and are elsewhere active in
interruptng railway traffic and seizing the
mails. The Government is actively prosecuting
the seige Of Carthagena. The insurgents are
fighting under the black flag, and it is reported
that they will endeavor to throw the town into
the hands of the Carsts Meanwhile the Gov
crnment is having its own misfortuncs There
are mutiny aud characterization among the
troops, and the financial straits to which the
Government is reduced is shown by the fact
that it is proposed to raise loan 10 be guaran-
tccd by the revenues from the tobacco monopoly
Of the PHILIPPINE Islands. The Cortes, by
vote of | 70 against ~, refused to grant an am.
nesty to the insurgents. A bill has been pre-
sentcd in the Cortcs calling out the eotire male
population between the ages of twenty and
thirty. five years.

The new Board Of Supervisors met at the
court house on Monday of this week, and or
ganizcd BY clccting James Z. Machcn, esq,
president The Board passed upon sundry &C:
counts, and among these were the accounts OF
the land assessors which elected some COM
mcnts. The member from Falls Church thought
the assessors should have reported their work
by Townships, so that the books might have
been made out in time, and sent on to the Au-
dtor at Richmond, by the first Of July, in COM
pIiance with the law This would have given
some townships (it not all) the benefit of the
new assessment, but as the thing had turnt
out, there was an additional burthcn upon the
taxpayers in place of the relief sought Some
of the assessors were called before the Board,
and stated that they did not understand 1t to
be their duty to return the assessment OF any
one township by itself, but all the townships 10
the county together. \ vote was then taken
and the accounts allowed. There were also
some remarks made regarding accounts pre-
senled by Messrs. Ash and Finch, for putting
up lightning rods to the clerk Office and Irea-
surer's oficc-the Board disaowing pay for
TWO rods out of four put UP. The Board adj
journed to meet at the poors house on We'd
