On the question of peaee or war in Europe the Daily News declares the evidence is cou- clusive, is tO Various In ifs sources and too con- cordant ip its substance to be open to doubt, that the French people, whatever their gensi- tiveness as to the afvrandizement af Prussia, do not desire war, and are indisposed to it, yet they half expect it.

Her father, Ferdinand VIL, left her as a legacy to the Liberal Party, According to the Salique Law, which was then ij force in Spain, no woman coulg ascend the throne of that country. Fer- Gjnaud, at the instigation of his wife, an ambi- tious and unprincipled woman, repealed that law. When he died, in 1833, his daughter Isabella, then a child of three yeare old, was proclaimed Queen. Don Carlos, the late King’s brother, the legitimate heir to the throne ac- cording io the Saligue Law, disputed the sue- cession. A civil war engued. The Carlists or Legitimists, ag’ the adherents of Don Garlos were caled, were, afjer a long struggle, finally and effectually beaten. This Carlist Party | was composed of the Jacobites ang the high Tories of Spain. The Queen's party were the Whigs or Liberals of that country. No sooner was the civil war over than Christiana, the Queen-mother, throwing off the mask which she had been compelled to wear as long as her daughter's throne wag in danger, discounten- anced Liberal men and Liberal ideas by evezy means in her power. The Liberals were natur- ully very indignant at this treatjnen, and after a time made the country too hot to hold her. She fled to France, but did not remain there

When he was g ing, being exhorted 0 forgive his enemies, he is 1eported to have replied, (1 have none, I have shot themall.’” It was not to be expected that a péoyile,with the least spark of spirit remaining, would long or patiently bear the rule of an abandoned woman with a shoot- ing first iinigier. The Spyniards made many ineffectual attempts to shake them both off, and, after many failures, at last’ succeeded in 1854. The Queeu-mother wus again com- pelled to seek an asylum in Heange. Since then the country has been comparatively quiet: for Spain, There have been insurrections aud disturbances without number, but none of them were productive of any very formidable results.

We may remark in passing, that one very ugly fea- ture of modern Spanish polities is that all the leading politicians have.been and are soldiers. Civilians seem to be of very little account in Spuin as states:aen. The road to poligical in- , fluence in that country lies through tae army.

Free institutions require a free and an educated people to work them properly. In the hands of those who do not know how to use them, they are frequent- ly productive of as much harm as good. There may, howeyer, be much truth inthe view taken by our Ayerican cousins in this matter. They consider that the best, and indeed, the ouly way to educate a people up to freedom, is to muke them free. They will doubtless, make many, and fearful blunders, but the suffering which their perpetration causes, is a necessary part of the discipline of their political educa- tion.

By the Herald of Wednesday last, we sep that ¢he New York, London, and Newfoundland | Telegraph Company will not lay a new cable | wcross the straits, and keep the Island telegraph line in working order, without a subsy of £900 currency per annum.

it seems, been very considerable It cannot be expected that any company will keep up our | telegraphic communications without making at | the very least,a fair profit out of the capital in- jvested. If it can be shown that our telegraph lines cannot be properly worked without the subsidy, we are decidedly of opinion that the

large as itis, should be cheerfully paid by the people of the Island. It is foolish in the extreme, to expect that any community jean in these days, prosner as it ought, without telegraphic communication with the rest of the

The Government, it| it is compelled to subsidize any company would much rather subsidize a local company than any other. The affairs of a local company, too, would be much better managed than those of a foreizn gue, Qne thing js certain, and that is, that the Jsland cannot long remain without telegraphic communication with the rest of the world, whether the business be undertaken by the Islanders themselves, or by the enterprising men of g forgizn country. a.
