SPANISH AFFAIRS DURING THE
PAST YEAR.

At the beginning of the year Senior Gorilla,
as Chief Minister of King Amadeo, was sup
ported by a larger Progresslst or Radical majo-
rity in the Cortes. The .smouldering rebellion
in Cuba formed the only exception to the APP
p~arently pacific state Of the kingdom, and the
Colonial party alone opposed a Ministerial
measure for tho abolition of slavery in Porto
Rico. Early in February a CarliSt %inSurrec-
ton, which has since attained larger proper
tions, broke out again, after an interval of
some months, in the Northern Provinces. I'M
mediately afterwards King Amadeo announced
his intention of abdicating the Throne to which
.he had been invited by the Principal statesmen
of Spain and by q large majority of The
Cortes only two years before. 1t is possible
that he might have succeeded in establishing
his dynasty but for the murder of Prim on the
eve of his arrival in Spain. During his short
reign he had more than once narrowly escaped
assassination. His earnest efforts to govern
on Constitutional principles had been baflied
BY ~factious partisans; and among Spaniards of
the. highest rank the King and his family were
exposed to a kind of social accommodation.
On the announcement of the abdication, and
Of the Kings departure from the country,
which Immediately followed, the Oortes acced-
ed to the exulting demand Of the minority
that q Republic should be at once established.
II seemed, in fact, to have been proved by a
process of exhaustion that it was no longer
POSSIBLE to maintain Royalty in Spain, and
Consequently the majority in the Legislature
and the nation unwillingly submitted to a Re.
public. The leaders of the party, CASTELAR, and

GERMANY.

The German National Liberal Party
have received an agreeable Christmas pre-
sent of the Government, the Reichsanzeiger
having lately promulgated a Bill which is
another step toward national unity. The
Federal Council, which in the mechanism
of The Imperial Constitution, represents
the Governments Of the Confederate States,
has given its sanction to the bill brought
forward by Deputy Laster, and voted by
the Reichstag, for the extension of the
civi! jurisdiction Of the Empire throughout
all Germany The "Particularist" oppo-
sition on this occasion was represented by
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS with two votes,
and by Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Reuss
with one vote a-piece-in all four votes
against ifty-four. OF course, this result
IS hailed every where as a very promising
sign for the future. Bavaria, it is true,
made some reservations in favour of her
own judicial system !; but her representa-
tiyes voted with the rest, and it is not
easily seen, after that, what practical use
she will be able to make of her reserya-
tons.
The Civil Marriage Bill will render uni
form and compulsory throughout the
Kingdom Of Prussia what already exists in
it in some shape or other-here compuI-
sorry, there optional, elsewhere for the ex-
elusive use Of certain sects, and SO forth.
The provisions OF the Prussian Bill do not
differ in any essential respects from the
state of things already existing in France,
and Belgium. As a rule, the registrars
are to form a special class of public ser
wants but ministers of religion may be
appointed, with their own consent, to per-
form these duties as we'll, and in ali cases
the Office will be held al the will and plea
sure of the Government.

THE NEW U. S. MINISTER TO SPAIN.

The N. Y. Herald in a highly Mandatory
article about Mr.. Gushing, recently appointed
U. S Minister to Spain, says: " He is known
to be in full accord with the foreign policy of
the administration. 1t is generally understood
that be sympathizes more with tho Republic
Of Castelar, than the Republic Of Cespedes I;
that he believes more in the encouragement of
the Republic in Spain than in assisting, even
by our moral support, the Republic in Cuba.
His idea is said to be that Time at last me- kes
all things even and that, ultimately, the sue
cess of the Republic in Spain will be the sue
cess of the Republic in Cuba 1t cannot be
doubted that Mr.. Cushing will be cordially re-
ceived at Madrid. At Is years of age it is not
likely that he will be disturbed by the passions
or fleeing excitements of the hour, or that
at Madrid he will forget that cool, diplomatic
discretion which served him so we'll thirty
years ago-served him so we'll in China. 1t is
certainly a remarkable fact that this man, at
that period of life when men, with few excep-
tons, are Withdrawn from active labor of
every kind, should be appointed to the most
delicate and difficult of our foreign missions !;
but it is still more remarkable that at this
%juncture there is hardly another mar in the
country regarded as better qualified for this
responsible position than the venerable Caleb
Gushing.

EXPORT DUTY IN TRINIDAD.

The new export duties in Trinidad are
exciting considerable attention, and are
Objectionable because of the difficulty and
trouble they will cause in collecting.
The addition Of complications in the mat
ter of duties is always to be deprecated,
and where there seems no argument IN
favour of the change, which is only sup
ported by the official members Of the
Council, and opposed by all the represen-
tatives who are practically acquainted with
the question, it is to be hoped that the
measure will not be pressed. AS stated
above, by the vote of the official members,
the resolutions were passed. When the
Ordinance came on for Discussion, q most
extraordinary thing occurred. Discussion
was not allowed because the resolutions
had been passed, and the Ordinance, at
fecting an important matter of taxation, by
a stretch Of authority that cannot be de-
Tended, was passed in compulsory silence.
If the Council rules allowed of this, the
sooner they are altered the better. Such
an interference with free discussion is I'M
known in England, where the Budget
resolutions are debated, and the Bill en-
bodying them remains open for discussion
at all its stages, Why a right enjoyed in
England should not be exercised by Eng
lishmen in an English colony, it is impos-
sible to understand. With regard to the
proposed new duties, instead of having q
single duty upon the cask Of sugar a scale
is instituted ranging, according to the size
of the cask, from IS. to IS. 4d. The trou-
BILE in collecting the duty may be estimated
from the fact that there are nine steps in
this scale, The old plan was simple, CON
v~enient and worked well. 1t resulted in
no injustice, because the size of the casks
varied very little. The new regulations
will interfere with the shipping of the
sugar and cause much delay, as each cask
will have to be measured. The additional
expense incurred by Government will not
be compensated by any increase of revenue.
The proposed measurement will give op~
portunitics for eyading the higher duties,
and may lead to cases of unfair advantage.
The export duty on sugar is for immigra-
ton purposes; it is entirely paid by the
planter, and it might therefore be assumed
that the planter is the best authority OF
the matter, and has the ~clearest right to
be heard, at least, in council, upon such q
subiect.-( Westiadian IN Loadoa.)
