(From Wi'llaser‘s Dcropean '1‘i'siss.) The most striking foreign neweof the week comes from S ain. For some time past it has been evi eat that affairs in that country were approachi a crisis; and that some triﬂing event would result _in an explosion. The explosion has co_me,in the shape of a coiip do’ slot at Madrid, where there has been some desperate ﬁghting- continuous ﬁghting, it is said for thirty hours,--between the people, supported by the National Guard, andt troops of the line. According to the telegraphic des- patches from the Spanish capital on Tliurs- day, the ﬁghting is over, and the deaths are numerous, the National Guard has been disnrmed. But the blaze has extended to the provinces. At Saragossa the peo- ple joined by the garrison, have been vic- torious; aud, according to the intelligence from Barcelona, Catalonia is in a sate of insurrection. The accounts which come from Paris"declare that Espartero, instead of having resigned, had been ignominously dismissed by the Queen, and that O’I)on- nell had consented to become the minister of a coup de’elat. We are also cautioned against trusting too implicitly to the tele- graphic accounts, which are unduly favor- able to the reigning dynasty. One ver- sion of the origin of the affair is,—that Christiana had been intriguing against Ee- artero, and that a formidable bill of in- dictment had been presented against him by the French Minister in Madrid, the Marquis de Target. Espartero was suin- moned to the Royal presence, the Queen received him hau htily, surrounded b armed soldiers, an after hearing his expla- nation, commanded him to leave Madrid within twenty-four hours. His where- abouts is unknown, but he is believed to be at Saragossa or Logrono. It is said that the Queen had sent for Narvinz,—a proof that her conﬁdence in O’l)onnell’s capacity to quell the storm was failing. All Spain is declared to be under martial law.

The Empress of Austria, less fortunate than the Empress of France, has presented her lord and master, not wit a son and heir but with a daugliter. The event occurred_on the l‘2th inst, at five in the morning, and was speedily announced to the inhabitants of Vienna by a sa vo of artillery. A Te Ileum was chauiited the same day at eleven o'clock. ext day, Sunday, the child was christened. The best feature of the event is, that numerous amnesties are announced, and many politi- cal olTendor's pardoned. Hungary is to be conciliated, and a “ Restitution Court” a to be formed, for the purpose of dealing with the confiscations which have taken place in that country during the state of martial law. In Transylvania many per- sons have been released, and from all that it would appear that Francis Joseph, now that he is a father, begins to appreciate his duties as a sovereign, and is treating his poo le with more parental affection than he has yet exhibited. lt is even said that the head ofthe Austrian empire has been lectur- ing King Bomba of Naples on the offences which that personage has committed against law and lihe-rty,—so anxious is Austria to preserve the tranquility of Italy.

The Dreadnought, which is so familiar to travellers on the Phames, as the Sesinea's Hos- pital Ship, is destined shortly to disappear from the station it has so long occu ied near Green- wich. "I‘he dilapidated state 0 the vessel ren-

Asiicxats Rsmirions wmi RUSSIA.-— Msnciuiir Siiir SALUTRIJ sv A inn-or-wsa —During the recent voyage of the Ward Jackson, screw steamer, of West Hartlepool, to the great martime capital of Russia, her captain became the hero of an adventure not unworthy of record. A boat err in two otticers put off from the ship 0 a ssian admiral at Cron- stadt, and boarded the merchant steam- er. The captain (Weatherley ) showed his gallant visitors the res t due to their rank, invited theiu to his cabin, and before they left him entertained them with the good English fare with which

all the vessels of the West Hartlepooll line are excellently supplied. Nor were the Russian ofiicers to be outdone in «courtesy by the hearty British tar, as the sequel discovered. Captain Weatherley and his oﬂicers were lionoroued by being invited to return the visit of theirhi-wly acquired naval friends, and did so. Several of the Russian oﬂicers spoke English ﬂuently; mutual congratula- atioiis on the advent of peace, and mutu- al good wishes on the prospects of the hopeful future, were exchanged ; and the entente cordiale was most heartily and‘ joyonsly cemented. 'l‘he parting iiicideut

in this very pleasing intercourse in the, Baltic remains to be told. In the course

of conversation, one of the Russian olli-l cers, who had inspected the Ward Jack-, sou, expressed his surprise at the nuinber. of tins and large qiiniitity of powder she‘ had on board, and asked for an expla-

nation of the circumstances. Captain

Weathely, having no plot to concea|,

gave the only answer of which the quest-

tion adinitted,——“ The powder: oh, to

salute our friends, to be sure.” “ 'l‘hen,"

responded the Russian ofiicer, recollect»- iiig that they had not been saluted, “are

not the Russians friends,"_ “Ay, friends,

indeed,” replied the captain; “but (ad-

ded lie seriously) you know it would be

quite an insult for a inercliaiitmaii to tire

a salute before an adinir.-i|’s ship.” And

so it would. The Russian ollicer knew

that in naval etiquette such it perpetra-

tion is unheard of. But he was not to be overdone in civility. Instead ofa conﬁrmation of his view of the case,

Captain Weatlierley received a gentle hint that a salute would be considered

the reverse of uncomplimentary. 'l‘liis was the evening before he had to return;

and next moming, in putting out of the mole (his crew being, like his ship, in excellent trim), he boldly ﬁred an ad- iniral’s salute, and raised the Russiaii colours to the fore. This was immedi- ately followed by the hoisting of_ihe British ensign by the Russian adnnral, and, with still louder ordnance, the lull and handsome reciprocation ol the nus- picious compliments.

The advices from Melbourne per the Earl of Sefton_ extending to the 26th of April, are, upon the whole, ofa satisfactory‘ character, the caution exhibited by mor- chaiits in this cottntry holding back ship- ments in order to prevent an over-abundant stock of goods in the Australian markets -having exercised a good effect upon trade in Melbourne. Importers were firm, and would not dispose of their goods except at remunerative rates. Speculation had al- most entirely ceased, and a firm healthy tone of business is reported. 'l'lie arrivals from the United Kingdom had been few, and nearly all the goods to hand had been of a suitable class. Gold had declined 8d per ounce, being quoted at 773 to 77s 3d per ounce. Colonial produce ofall kinds was in good demand, at ﬁrm prices. The com- mercial accounts froin Sydney are also very satisfactory. During the preceeding month the markets had steadily improved, and ad- vaiiced prices were obtainable for almost all articles. The export trade was like- wise active, and the transactions in Wool, Tallow, and Hides had been very exten- sive. Wool especially had realised high quotations, owing principally to purchases for France direct.

The arrivals ofSpecie have been consider- able. They include £399,000 from the United States. £668,000 from Australia, and about £360,000 from the \Vest Indies;

People are often subjected to extreme rnortificatiou by indulging in dispar ging remarks of strangers, and learning subsequently that the persons themselves, or some ot their intimate friends, were within hearing oftheir remarks. Such unpleasant occiirrcnces rarely have so‘ pleasaiita termination as the followingj

New Jersey, he chaiiced to stop at a stage hotel,in one of its populous towns, for, the iiight. At a late hour of the same night,arrived also at the iiin,Mr. Deunie,i who had the misfortune to learn from: the landlord that his beds were all pair-

with lodgers except mic, occupied by the celebrated Dr. Dwight.

"Slioiv me to his apartmeiit,”excIaimcd Deniiie, “altlio' I am it stranger to theRev. Doctor, perhaps I can bargain with him! for my lodgings.” The landlord eccord—‘ ingly waited on Mr. Donnie, to the l)oc- tor's room, and there left him to introduce himself. 'l‘he Doctor, ziltho, in his night gown, cap and slippers, and just ready to assign himself to the rcfresliiiig-arms of Soinzius, requested the strange intruder to be seated. 'l‘lie Doctor was struck with the literary physiognomy of his companion, unbent his austere brow, and commenced a literary conversation. The names of Washington, Prankliii, Ritteuho-ise, ii host of literary and dis- tinguished cliniracters,-forsome time -ga vc zeal and interest to their conversation until Dwight chanced to mention the name of Denuie.

_“ Dennis, the editor of the Portfolio, (says the Doctor in a rhaspsody,) is the Addison of the United Statcs—the fath- er ofAnieric-.in Belles Letires. But sir," continued lie, “ is it not astonishing, that a main of such genius, fancy, and feeling, should abandon himself to the iiiebriating bowl, and to hacclinntilian revels T’ '

“ Sir ” said Donnie, “ you are mistaken l have been intimately acquainted with

Deiinie for several years, and never knew or saw him iiitoxicatcd.”

“Sir," says _the Doctor, “ yozi err: l have rny int'oi'iniitioii front a particular frieiid; l am contideiit that l am‘ right, and that you are wrong. ”

eiiiiie now i_ngeni_ously changed the conversation to the -clergy, remarking that Doctors Abercromblc and Mason were amongst our most distinguished divines; nevertheless, he considered Dr. Dwight, President of the Yale College the most learned theologian—thc tirst logician—aud the greatest’ port that America has ever produced. “ But, sir. continued Denuiv "there are traits in his character. iindescrving so grcaiand Wise :1 man, oftlic most detestable description ——lic is the greatest bigot and dogmatist of the age!”

“ Sir," snid tlieDo\ctor, f.‘ you are gross- ly mistaken, i am intiinately acqiiaiiitcd with Dr. Dwight, and know toithe con- trary. " .

“ Sir,” says Dennie, “yeti are mis- taken. [have it from an intimate ac- quaintance of his, who, lam conﬁdent would not tell me an uutruth.”

“ No more slander,” says the Doctor, “I am Dr. Dwight, of whom you speak!

“And I, too,” exclaimed Donnie, “am Mr. Deniiie, of whom ou spoke!”
