ring this season that the army of Sierra, in its flight, was in part de- stroy ed bythe waters, for in its usual narrow course the stream is not of sufﬁcient width and power to be dan- gerous. Just above, on the side of Carmel, is the spot pointed out by tradition as having been the scene of l'llijah’s slaying the prophets OfBanl. There is much of the picturesque about the place; the soil is strewed with several masses of grey stone, around which are many ﬁne trees.— It is a pleasing and lonely spot, such as the imagination Would hardly have selected for so ruthless yet necessary a deed.‘ But if tradition should err here, there can be no illusion with respect to the scene of the memora- ble descent ofthe ﬁre from heaven. When “ all Israel was gathered to- gether unto Carmel,” it was clearly on this side the mountain, where it descends gradually intothe noble plain beneath. The spot was finely chos- on by the prophet t‘orthe spectacle of his sacriﬁce : since the multitude of peeple, coming from the regions of ’Samaria, night stand with perfect convenience in the splendid and open area of Esdraelon, which is here ter- minated at the foot ofCarmel. The de clivity ofthe mountain,its brink dark with Woods,and its sides covered with the richest pasture, looks over a vast extent of country on every side.— What a noble subject would this be for a painter ! It was an impressive spot, from which we turned with re- gret, as the fading light warned us to n' 9 part .—Carnc's Tra'rels - —

rat: SPANISH THRONI. The Earl of Aberdeen has address- ed to the four great Powers an invi- tation to a special conference. of which the object should be to discuss and permanently settle the affairs in Spain. To this the Government of Russia and Prussia replied that,never having recogniZed the defacto dynas- ty, in consequence oftheir conviction of the superior, because legitimate, claims of Don Carlos, it would be in- consistent for them to accede to any arrangement that should assume the validity of Donna Isabella’s title to the Crown. They,therefore declined to be parties to the proposed confer- ence; expressing, at the same time, their opinion that sOoner or later it must be by the intervention of thei principal Sovereigns of Europe, that the question must be settled,and their i fixed determination that no one go-! vernment shouldbe permitted to in- terfere in arranging the Spanish suc- f cession.-—Post.

ofgoing to the store of Mrs. Hann, Milliner, in Lexington street, on bu- siness. About half an hour after- wards, a person rang the bell of Mr. Poultney’s dwelling, which she visit- ed on her way to the Milliuer’s store. A servant man immediately went to the door, on opening which she was accosted by the deceased, who was literally covered with blood. bhe exclaimed that she had been almost killvd by a man who came up behind, and without saying a word. inflicted blows upon her head. “’hilst thus in conversation, she put her ﬁngers to her mouth and picked out a front tooth, which, together with the low- erjaw,had been broken by one of the blows. The unfortunate girl was then taken in,and‘had her wounds dressed, after which, she was accompanied to Mr. Moalo’s and carefully placed un- der immediate medical aid.

The attack, it is supposed, was made whilst she was crossing a small alley on' Mulberry street, opposite the Cathedral. No clue whatever has yet been had to the inhuman monster who committed the dreadful deed.— The presumption is, the unoffending deceased was mistaken for another, whom some ﬁend bad premeditated killing. There were several bruises and cuts on the face.one over the left eye, and One on the month, which broke the jaw bone and displaced se- veral teeth. The fatal blow,and im- mediate cause of death, seemed to have been inﬂicted with a club on the back region ot'the head, behind the right ear. This fractured the skull, and drove part of the bone into the brain, The unfortunate young Wo— woman suffered intense agony,though she continued rational until about twelve o’clock,after which she began to sink rapidly, and expired about 4 o'clock on Friday morning.
