The result Of the voting in the Cortes on the
2nd was as follows 100 against and 100 for Cas-
telar. After which General Pavia, asked for the
dissolution of the Cortes, Thereupon 4Salmeron
and others insisted upon Castelar, continuing the
government, which he refused to do. After this
the Deputies were driven out of the palace of the
.Cortes by the company of Municipal Guards.
In conformity with Payia's appeal, the following
Cabinet was formed:
9 Serrano, President Sagasta. Foreign Affairs;
Zabala, War; Figuerola, Justice Becerra, Fo-
mento Echegarray, Finance Garcia Ruiz, Go
bernacion Topete, Marine.
The military and civil authorities of the Pro-
vinces had, by telegraph, approved General Pa
Was behaviour.
No Disturbances have occurred anywhere in con-
sequence of these changes.
A decree published yesterday. appoints Ser
rano chief ofthe executive power.
The assault of Cartagena began on the 3rd.
By decree have been appointed Martos, Minis
ter of Justice Mosquera; Minister of Fomento
Alyareda, Governor of Madrid. Constitutional
guarantees have been suspended and the laws of
1870 declared in vigor.
Garcia Ruiz has, by decree, suspended all Car
list and Intransigente newspapers.
CASTELAR,, in a letter to the Nation, protests
against the coup d'etat, adding that conscience
and honor prevent his accepting the lately Gre
ated situation. Various members of the majority
concur in this opinion of Castelar,.

THE DIFFUSION PROCESS IN SUGAR
MAKING.
From the "Picayune," New Orleans.

Twenty years ago, the production of cane
sugar was sufficiently large to supply the bulk
of the consumption of the world. Since that
time the cultivation of the sugar beet in Eu-
rope has spread so rapidly that, of the total
production Of the world, last years. 600, 900
tons-no less than 1000, 900 tons were made
from the beet. In 1878 the beet root sugar
crop was only 377,00U tons. At that time the
yield of sugar from the beet was about FIVE (5)
per cent, and of sugar from cane in Louisiana
Is to 20 per cent. of the weight of the raw
material as it came from the field. Now, by
the application of Science-by the aid Of the
mechanic, the botanist and the chemist-the
yield of the beet is Is per cent, and the yield
of cane 10 to II per cent.
The cultivators of sugar cane have now
reached that stage when they will be unable
to compete with the producers of the sugar
beet unless they bring in the aid of skill and
science to perfect their system of cultivation
and manufacture. In Louisiana particularly
has. the sugar industry iabored under great
difficulties Our planters can scarce hope to
contend successfully against their competitors
under the present system. They must pro-
gress, or ultimately com to utter ruin.
Under the present crude system Of manufac-
ture not more than half or two thirds the sugar
contained in the cane is extracted. The roll
Ter expresses only 80 to 70 per cent. of the
juice from the cane, and expresses with it a
large quantity of foreign matter.
Aware of the imperfections of the present
system Of manufacture, several of our citizens
have been laboring to introduce improvements
in this lire. Bringier's and Mason's appara-
fuses have been referred to before.
Now we are o ,have a practical demonstration
of the Julius Roberts diffusion process as ap-
piled to the extraction Of sugar cane. A few
enterprising gentlemen have brought out from
Austria a complete apparatus, which is now
being put up on the Belle Alliance plantation,
belonging to the estate of G. Kock, on Bayou
Lafourohe, to be ready for operation at an ear
" date. The apparatus is the same as that
now working at Aska, Madras Presidency

whilst the Cortes were out of session cost 400
millions of Reales.. He recommended to vote for
laws establishing free public instruction and
abolishing servile labor and serfdom on both
sides OF the Atlantic, and concluded by promising
to submit to the Cortes all the Documents rela-
tive to the case of the Virginius, which will
prove that the avoiding war. the principles of in

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN

Hand Grenadcs Unearthed by the Police.
At one O'Clock yesterday morning Captain Will
lams, of the Eighth precinct, accompanied by
three officers, made descent on the premises at
No. 1853 Blocker street, in the cellar of which he
found, stored away under pile OF rubbish, guam
tity OF hand grenades. The building is occupied
by Desire Debuchy, French florist, who was ar.
rested, and, together with the hand grenades
removed to the station house. The destructive
missiles are thirtysix in number and carefully
packed in an old ammunition box. They were not
charged Their construction is said to be peculiar.
1t consists Of sphere within sphere made OF
one-sixteenth inch cast iron, and capable OF con-
tanning one and q half ounces OF powder. The
covering consists OF two hemispheres OF one
eighth OF an inch cast iron, Joined by means oil 2
powerful screw. Capped and primed they could
be easily carried without danger TO the party
handling Them and would doubtless prove a de-
cidedly destructive weapon
During the forenoon Debuchy was taken before
SUPERINTENDENT Matsell who remanded him to the
station house. He claims that the grenades were
a sample lot made In this city by party named
Murphy the order for their construction having
been given by the CO,lite De9nOCTdttQue, who de-
signed sending them to the Committee OF Safety at
Paris during the late Franco-Prussian war. Order
was restored In Paris before the weapons were
completed, 80 they were never shipped, but
were stored where the police found them The
prisoner will have o hearing at the Jefferson
Market Police Court this morning.

IN all parts OF the city. The Fire Department
is not adequately furnished with machines and
men, and it is in reality powerless to supply
the deficiencies The proper authorities should
provide for the outlay of the moneys requisite
to thorough organization. Yet more than
this remains to be done. The system of fire
escapes should be widely and generally ap-
piled, and scuttles and other outlets from our
private and public houses should be closely
scrutinized, in order that they may always be
accessible to those driven by smoke and flame.

THE CROP PROSPECTS.
Report OF the Product Of Corn and Hogs
in the West.

Report OF the Product Of Corn and Hogs
in the West.
CINCINNATI, Ohio Feb. /, 1874
The National crop Reporter contains to-day es-
Inmates in relation to the percentage Of the last
crop OF corn remaining in the hands Of producers
on January Is, and estimates Of the number Of
stock hogs in the hands of feeders at the same
date; in comparison with the quantity and number
on hand at the corresponding date of 1873.
In relation to corn, the States OF Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Ohio and Wisconsin, which produced In
1878 upwards Of $780, 100000 bushels, the average
amount on hand at the date named is
estimated at traction less than fifty
per cent an approximate quantity Of
19O 600, 900 bushels. The average consumption was
very uniform in all the States being highest In Wis.,
consin, where it was sixty per cent. The unusu.
ally mild weather In all localities has aided largely
in keeping down the home consumption and the
condition OF the stock generally is better than was
anticipated a month earlier.
The estimates upon stock hogs are for the same
States named above, and indicate an average tall
ing on OF twenty-One per cent from the number on
hand year ago. The condition OF the same is con-
slderaby below the average. The high prices paid
by packers and the scarcity OF corn having caused
au outflow OF the marketable hogs and stintlng
OF the supply of lood to those remaining.
The outlook Is very poor Tor hogs Tor summer
States named on December l, 1873. and January 49,

cations are that the maximum has been about

COLLISIONS AND Loss OF LIFE AT SEA-
Mr. Houghton, of California, has very prop
erly taken up the subject Of collisions at sea,
and has provided in his bill for the ounce
OF prevention. The amazing and reckless
indifference Of the ocean steamship lines,
their penchont for tawdry ornamentation and
cheap glitter have been subjects Of regret on
the part OF those who still attach Importance
to the security of human life. Legislation of
the character demanded in this bill is what
the country needs, not alone in this special
instance, but in all cases where monopoly is
arrogant and reckless.
