he ictter from which the above is an ex- tract, was read inthe Council of Minjsters and is eaid to have made a profound impression And well it mizht, as, making allowance for exaggeration, there is more than enough in the assertions of this bigh official make the reflecting reader pause. If the Captain-Gene- ral is right, then the revolution, it not abso Jutely ‘a ferlure, at least borders on one, and a longer deluy in the choise of a King is only needed to precipitate the country into a con- dition even worse than that from which it was temporari!y rescued by the forcible abdication of Isabelle Corruption of the groseest kind prevails throughout Spain, a:d the public effices are even greater moral plazue-spots than they were under a dissolute Queen’ The Madrid Captain-General seems to think that

the immediate choice of a King would ward |

off the impending anarchy. This would, of course, depend entirely upon the character of the monarch selected. A weak, characterless Prince would be powerless to stay the tide of corruption, and a few months would see him swept from the throne by a new revolution. What Spain needs in this hour of trial is a

Major White repaired to his chamber and commenced to rend in a loud | voice. This reading disturbed Mrs. H., who |she remarked to her husband, ‘I do wish the Major would cease.’ Finally, in despair at the continuance of the reading. Mra. Hobbs went upestaira and enquired :—- Why, Major. | what in the world do you read so loud for ?* To expand my lungs, was all the reply which }was vouchsafed, and Mrs. Hobbs returned 'down stairs. A moment afterwards, the par- jor door being ajar, she espied Major White 'softly treading his way down stairs, with a pistol in his right hand. Clinging to her hus- band, Mrs. Hobbs screamed in fear, ‘ He is | coming with a pistol.’ This ery seemed to | hasten the movements of the Major, for he im- mediately fired, the ball passing slantwise through the parlor door. Dr. Hobbs started for the door, but before he could reach it, | White had passed throngh and fired a second shot, which struck M:s Hobbs immediately over the left breast, passing across the body and out through the rightarm. She fell back upon the floor, ard expired almost instantly Her frantic husband looked for a moment at the dreadful spectacle, and then rushed hare- headed from the house to the Fifth Police station on Denham street, near by, where he declared : ‘ My wife 1s shot !" and went back to the house. Sergeant Hartshom followed closely, and entered the door a moment after:

The radical trouble seems io be that the people have become hopelessly demoraliged by long years of miszovernment. from which demoralization only the most severe measures can rescue them. What is needed is @ pure Court, an economical admin- istration, and a financial rehabilition of the State. The monetary physicians the revolu- tion has brought to the manazement of affairs do not seem to be endowed with any extra ordinary perspicacity, and only the greatest ability will now avail to prevent Spain from plunging into the gulf of bankruptey that yawns before her That there are not men in Spain capable of bringing order out of this chaos, it were a re- flection on that country to assume; but the present leaders of the revolution do not seem af all fitted for the task to which they have addressed themselves. Trim and Serrano are both too completely identified with the old ore der of things to inspire confidence in those who see safeiy only ina complete reorganis~ ation. Ofa verity old things must pase aw. y in Spain ang all things become new, before there can be any well-grounded hope for that nation. There must bea new monarch sup-| Hae by new ministers, and if these cannot found it may become necessary for the Re- publicans, who seem to form a very respect- able minority in Spain, to come forward and see what they can accomplish towards the | navigation of tha Ship of Siate !

THE SE!ZURE OF THE SPANISE GUNBOATS.

Considerable excitement has been cansed

Seeing White in the middie of the room, with a pistol in his hand, he advanced towards him, whea the latter turned arourd and exclaimed : ‘I'm your man, and this (giving un the re- volver) is what I did it with.’ He quietly submitted to be taken to the station-house where he was lucked up in a cell to await ex- amination. In reply to a question as to the cause of his dreadful act, he could only say, ‘ theré is no cause that will justify what [ have done,’ and seemed very much depressed in Sp rits.

The above facts are all that could be glean. ed by the reporter on Wednesday. It was apparent frdm the demeanor of the officers at the station, ard from others who were cogniz- ant of the affair, that something yet remained to be told. Whether White was subject to paroxysms of insanity, or whether there is still @ sadder tale to be untolded to the public, the Coroner's inquest will doubtless determine,

Thanking them again for the kindly manner in which he had been received, he concluded by proposing ** Prosperity to P, E. Istand.’”

His Excellency was frequently applauded during the delivery of his dresch, and at its couclusion the company gave expression to their enthusiasm in rounds of vociferous cheers. Hon. Mr. Haythorne replied to the toast of Tr. E Island in a very neat and appropriate speech.

The next toast was that of ** the Princeand Princess of Wales,’’ which was drank with the usual honors,

which was received with great enthusiasm.

The iaw under which the seizure has b2en made, is the third section of the Neutrality Act of }818, which rom that “ if any person shall, within the imits of the United States, fit out and arm, or attempt to fit out or arm, er procure to be fitted out or armed, or shall knowingly be concerned in the furnishing, fitting cut or arming of any ship or vessel, with intent that such ship or yessel shall be empleyed in the service of any forsizn prince or State, or of any colony, district or people, to c-vise or commit host: ities against the subjects, cuizens or property of any foreizn prinoe or State, or of any colony, district or people, with whom the United States are at peace,’’ the ship or vessel, so fitted out, with all her “tackle, ap- parel, or furniture, together with all the matc- rials, arms. ammunition, and stores, which may have been procured for the building and equipment thereof, shall be forfeited ; one-half to the use of the informer, and the other half to the use of the United States.” only question to be decided seems to be whether the Washington authorities are ir. possession of such information as would bring the case within the purview of the Neutrality Act, or whether the seizure was dictated by the Cubans, through their allies the Peruvians, and was made tu prevent the gunboats being used in quelling the Cuban insurrection. If the government really has information tbat the vessels were to be used against Peru, its course ie just And proper—the only one to be pursued under the circumstances; but if the seizure was merly made to placade the Cubans and their sympathizers in the country, it is an ‘wet unworthy of the administration. In the absenee of any knowledge of the real facts in the case, it is impossible to do more than state the law upon the subject. If the government desires to seize the Spanish gunboats it must first reeogniae the Cubans as belligerents, but as yet the United States has not officially re- cognized the fact of a Cuban revolution, ‘save by its action in arresting the fillibusters, The neutrality laws are of the greatest importance in the intereonrse of nations, and it is. there- fore, most essential that they should be pro- perly observed, Se

Gen Potspon ordered the suppression of the most ancient congregations, as also the closing ota grest number of churches and chapels, A single one of bia orders deprived the Catholics of thirty-one churches and chapels Every Catho- lic baptiem is an offence, for which a fine of ten roubles (£1 10s.) is inflicted if the child ia a male and five if itis a female, But if parents should consent to bave their children baptised by a Pope, they receive four pounds for every child thus baptised, Such is Muscovite apostiesbip !
