12 THE DAlLf EVENING mEaitAPil-TlttfL HEET PHIL ADELPHI A, WfiMKSPAY, DECEMBER 23, 1869. 01TY INTELLIGENCE. THE LAST POD an. Hor Aboat the Neott-Slddona Ticket Device In yesterday's Issue of Th Tklrgraph wm contained an article ventilating the mean Jag- ?le to which Borne of the parties connected with he ereeeement In this city of Mrs. BooU-Hld-dons had resorted, In order to Induce a rwibllo belief that the sale of tickets to her theatrical representation was progressing with a perfect furore. We do not detail what was oontalned in the article alluded to, but merely repeat what we then expressed onr surprise that a gentleman holding the .mon yvhicn Mr. , Irumnier ooauplea in the Cf.umiitf sliuuid have lent is OOnnfeCBUOe to the questionable transac tion. It now appears that, while our surprise wa na1 oral, our stiNplulnns were ill-founded, (Since lhi appearance of our stricture on the n flair we have received a communication from air.

We are most heartily glad that Mr. Trnmpler has thns exonerated himself fully and eqoarely from all blame, and fraukly corneaa that it was no more than we anticipated would prove the upshot ot tho matter. In the absence of any positive knowledge, howovr, that ne was not concerned in it, we could d-n no less than give utterance to our surprise that any fhilnuelphla gentleman had aflorded aid to au attempt upon toe credulity of the cRiaens. At the niter tailnre of the scheme we congratulate ourselves, and deem It a condign punishment to all ni-ksol the kind. It.wllieerve the pur roses of a useful lesson. Nobody bus suffared from It tout, first, the agent of the lady, and thnn the lady herself. ... In this connection it may be proper to stale that one of our morning contemporaries, la alluding to our article published yesterday, says "Mrs. Rlddons states that the advertise ment was inserted without her knowledge, and expresses her regret that her agent should have This may all be so, in fact, it seem;very pro bable; but yet we have received no communi cation from the lady herself on the subject, an I, ther fore, cannot say with authority that the foregoing la her view of the mntter.

At No. W7 Warnock street Is a bouse of doubtful repute, known as the New York Hotel, and oooupled bv a half dozen females. It 1m a place where men frequent, and as a'matter of course rows are numerous. This morning, abul 8 o'clock, the rtsldenta in that quiet and clean little thoroughfare were aroused from their slumbers by the shooting, of pistols, which were followed by cries of murder, which proceeded from female throats. The startled community, on arislne and DOklna their beads from the win dows, saw a crowd of fellows rundown the street arjd immediately return, armed with .bricks. On their arriving near the above house other pistols were urea una more screams were beard.

It bas also been confidently asserted so couSdently as to leuve to doubt in the min is of the most fkeptlcal that the decree which U to con firm ail these expecialions will appear in the Madrid Gazet'e ot this mornioir. nud will thus be in toy hands within two or three hours be fore the closing of th- rxail. Ine same semi official organe backed by the more Independent hpooa areaUo sore tbat immediately upon the preliminary ortrauization of the Constituent Assembly Deing accomplished the questions respeonng tbe form ot government and the choice of the bead of the State will be sub mitted to tne representatives of the nation, so that before the termination of tb month of February Spain will kuo to what ne destinies sue will bave to accommodate her self. Ou tbe other hard, it is also stated that the members of the provisional gov emrxeirt have maturely deliberated on the ex pediency of coming to a lull and final nnder etpnuiutf between them with rearect to the candidate whom they are uuanimou-ly to present to the country as ihe future sovereign; and, moieover, tuat'they have actually corns to tbat underfctanain?, that they really bave the kicg elect in pelto. and tbat although, of course, tne acceptance or rerjsai ot their pro pi sal must lie with the free vote f the Cortes, still the Government is bent upon exerting all iri influence, l oth on the elections and on the deliberation! of the Assembly, so far to insare tbe success of what seems to the Uovernmeut lieelt the only plausible scheme. If all this were true, and if we were to believe, as it would seem narnral, tbat Serrano and the other Unionist members of the Cabinet abide by their orulunl engagements to faior the interest otthe Duke of Moutpeusier, we should have to come to the conclusion that they have lately won mm una nis protrres-tsi menus over to their views, us the latter were up to a very recent period supposed tj be beut upon the promotion of th exKtutr of I'ortucrai, Don Fernando. s Frim had in a recent letter to bin liiend, feenor Valleio Mi randa, one of the writers of the Gau'ois. declared teat tbe exclusion of tbc Bourbons trom the throne of fepain must be conidered as detltitive and perpetuiil, and that, tor his own part, be woulu have no band in any act which mtcui amount to a reverent oi mat sentence, ao effurts are now made to limit the sense ot that declaration by saying that Prim's objections "only coucerned the ex Queen and Her de- fcendants." As the notion that Prim could cast his lot with tbe CarlWts could spring up in no mane beat, the. evileot con clusion is that tbe General did not with his ostracism to involve the lnlauta Alarm Louies, Uucbcfs ot Moutpcnsier, in the fate of hcrsi9ter. As to the Infanta's husband, tbe Duke ot Montperisier himseM, hts partisans have already stoutly asserted that "an Urleauisils not a llonrbon," an assertion which, to make It clear to Ecelish readers, would b tantamount to sajing that the lfgitimtfe descendants ot the uokp ot rjainourgn couiu at any tune cease to be Guelcbs, aiuiply becautc "an Ediubureh is not. a Ouelph." To my mind one or two things are, at all events, perfectly clear. In the first place, tbat the sphere ot possible candidates to the Hpanish throne, which at first seemed to spread to the utmost limits of the A'tnanach de Goiha, has within two short monihs beer, reduced to those two rivals dot both domiciled at Lisbon, and tbat of the two only one evinces any eagrnos for tbe intended honor, or, Indeed, may in tbe last extremity be relied upon not to refuse it. la tbe second place, tbat whatever tbe government or any party may propose, it will uUima'ily be for the nstU'D to dispose, at.d tbat there Is just no iv f uflic est perterseness and Iractiousness among the Ppanlbb people to enable those who would fain have no king to cry down any king.

The Bucburest Hurodnost, the Bulgirian paper in tbe trench lntemt which laorcd ao barj to write up the Bulga'iun rebellion, contains a remarkable let'er trom the chief ot the young Tuikey party, Zia Bey, now living at Paris.
