The Royal Speech.

MADRID, Dec. liking Alfonso opened the
Cortes this evening wIth the usual ceremony. In
his speech the King deplored the late insurrec-
ton among the military. Referring TO his re-
cent journey, he declared the object was to pay
debts of friendship and affection, and siren CITIZEN
the bonds of friendship between Spain ana for
eign nations. ''The sole result of the incidents
which occurred during the journey" he said,
''was to increase the cOrdlaliJy OF the relations
of Spain with other countries, and provoke on
my return one of those manifestations which
are only possible when the monarch and people
are united in one sentiment, and which
sufficiently compensated me for the ex-
cessive grief was caused by the late
instruction. Our relations with foreign pow
ers are excellent. You will find testimony
of this cordially in note published in
the Official Gazette regarding the state of our
relations with France and i'll the visit of the
Grown Prince of Germany; also in the beneficial
effect produced by the propaganda signed with
England to improve the commercial relations
between that country and Spain, as well as by
negotiations now proceeding for the conclusion
of treaties of commerce with Portugal, Italy,
Denmark and the Netherlands. Spanish COM
merce possesses even greater interests on the
American continent. Our representatives to the
different States in South America have been in
strueted TO conclude commercial treaties with
the governments to which they are accredited.
We have opened negotiations with the United
states which, if successful, VIII permit the
products of Cnba and Porto Rico to enter that
powerful market. Our relations with the Holy
See are animated by the same cordial spirit"
The speech alludes to reforms which will be
introduced in the army aud navy, ana, also, IN
the administration of Justice which will secure
trial by jury Referring to the colonies, II says:
Suppression of punishment by stocks and fet-
ters proves the sincerity with which the law
aboshing slavery would be carried OUT.
It adds: In order to develop the productions
of the colonies. the government Is preparing
treaties of commerce and reforming the tariffs.

EXECUTION OF O'DONNELL.
Hanging of Carey's Murderer at 3
O'Clock This Morning.
He Maintains His Goodness and Nerve to the
End, and Mounts the ScaffoId
without "a Tremor.

LONDON, Dec. isis A. M.-Despite tho
boisterous and squally weather a considera-
bic crowd assembled at the prison at
o'clock this morning. Hundreds Of
workmen passing by the Jail waited to
gaze at the black flag. Among them was
ODonnells brother, who paced to and fro
opposite the flagstaff in a most restless and
detected manner, exciting the sympathy of
all present.
The hangman's arrangements were per-
feet, and the execution occurred without
hitch. ODonnell was cool and collected,
but made no statement on the scaf1old.
O'Donnell was notified at 1870 to make
ready. He was perfectly resigned, and ex-
pressed great sorrow for the outbufst of
temper in the dock at the conclusion of his
trial. He said he had felt the greatest ami
mostly for the witnesses who appeared
against him, but it had now disappeared.
After the communion had been admins
tered to the condemned man. Binns the
hangman, entered the cell ODonnell sub
mitted to the operation of pinioning with
smile and withouta murmer. The procession
then moved toward the scaffold. O'Donnell
walked with great firmness and without the
assistance of the wardens who stood close
around him. He was perfectly calm and
self-possessed. While standing on the drop
he looked around unconcernedly Binns
performed the remainder of his duty quick
ly. He allotted drop of eight feet. The
moose was placed exactly as NIarwood
used to place it. Binns pulled the lever of
the trap precisely as the neighboring church
clocks were striking 8.
The crowd in front of Newgate increased
rapidly, and shortly before o'clock num-
bered 1000 persons. The street
was closely packed, but the throng observed
a quiet and orderly demeanor. The Irish ele-
ment was not conspicuous. AS the moment
for the execution approached the crowd
swayed up against the prison wall.
and the roadway, which before
had been kept clear, was blocked. The po-
lice, however, moved rapidly through the
multitude and easily cleared a way.
When the black flag was hoisted
announcing the tragedy at an end, there was
no demonstration, although suppressed ex-
element marked many faces.
ODonnelps brother remained till the
last, bitterly weeping, and the center of a
sympathizing group. The clouds began to
break as the hour approached and when
the black flag was run up it was distinctly
displayed against the rising sun.

Lowell and Lord Granville, etc., see third

BURIED AMONG PAUPERS.
The Sad Story OF North CArolina Woman
who was Deserted In HALIFAX.

HALIFAX, July 10.-The burial OF the body
ola poor woman in the paupers burial ground
here this evening was the closing scene In o
sad history. Sophronia Shearin was one Of
twelve children Of weli-tO-do planter In
Littleton N. G. Less than two years ago she
was on u visit to q married sister in Providence
II. l.. and there met at picnic q man named
Benjamin Knott from Fall River She became
infatuated with him. and after brief acQualn-
lance went to Fall River to become his wife.
She said they were duly married. but this Knott
has denied to acaunintances. Knott was u
carding master In o Fall River cotton mill at
that time. and was progressing In appearance.
being evidently acquainted with the ways Of
society. About year ago thoy came to

just being started. and there Knott obtained

also been Il! treating her lately: and she was in

The authorities finally took charge Of the re-
mains. Before hor death the landlady tried to
get the woman TO write something about her
friends: She took pen and wrote her mothers
name. Judith u. Shearin. but had not power to
finish tho address. and never spoke again
From few letters she left and from previous
conversations. the above information was
cleaned. also that she had a brother John in
Lowell. Mass. and sister married there.
1t now turns out that q man employed in tho
Halifax cotton mill knew Knott well. In con-
ysrsation with a reporter to-day he said Knott
had wife and one son In Oldham England.
Knott Is rather above the medium height, and
