LONDON, July 1.-The Times, in a lead
ing editorial article, summarizinp the
military and political strength of Spain,
gives glowing view of the Alfonsists,
and says the recent minor successes of
Jovellar have been outweighed by re-
verses elsewhere. The Carlists seem
about to begin forward march. All the
bright hopes that Alfonso brought to
Spain have vanished; his best Generals
arc less active than heretofore; thew have
met defeat, instead of victory; the King
has not been more successful. In Ma.
drld, he has failed to satisfy the church.;
has enraged the Liberals; hence the
Ministry seem ready to try the effect of
MS much religious toleration as to per-
nit Protestants to worship in the back
streets; but such concession will dis
gust the clerical and not satisfy AL
fonso,s political supporters. Neither
has the King made peace between the
warning factions; the press is muzzled to
prevent it from being disloyal and there
are no funds to pny the army or navy.
John Rankin l. Co. have failed: liabili.
ties estimated at 81, $780, 900.
