' As it may now be regarded as certain that Oueen Isabella and berchildrea -will bo deluded from tbe tbione of Spain, we nave in her ei- fml?ion another examp'.e of that retributive attice which hat followed the race to which be belong for the lust eighty year. Tbe question of who Is 10 be her succcoor being yet nscttled, it would bo premature to say at pre sent tbat the will be the last reigning Bourbon sovereign; but iu the meantime we (rue a brief t ketch ot that celebrated royal bouse, tbe his tory of vhloh the events taking place In Spain invest just now with a peculiar interest. ORIGIN 0F TBE BOUBOB. The House of Bourbon, which has given so many sovt reigns to France, Spain, and Italy ,1s of French origin, deriving us name 110m tno 01a lorus ol Bourbon, a noble lamlly which centuries ago held very laree landed possessions in the former ' province of BorirbonnifS, situated In the cen're ot Fiance. Through tbe niarriHgt; of a member of the Capet family wt h a Bourbon heiress, the noble house became allied to rojaliy In the thirteenth century, and at ut the middle of the litteenth we find the bist of the race on a throne, in the person of Antoine de Bourb:n, King of Navarre. Antolue was the father of the galUnt and renowned Henry of Navarre, who atcrwirri8 become King of France under tbe title of Ilpnry IV. With this celebrated Prluce begins the history of TUB BOCBBON DYNASTY IN FRANCE. And what a history! Extending from 158!), when XJenry IV ascended the French, throne, to 183(1, when Charles X was driven out of his kingdom by the revolution of July, It embraces a period filled with events of the deepest inte rest and of the highest possible Importance to the human family. From the accession of Hem j IV up to the time of the first French devolution, there was no break In the royal incceesion of tbe Bourbon line in France. Lonis XIII, Louis XIV, XV. and Louts XVI, were all Bourbons; but, taking the first and the last of tbete five kings as regards their qualities a" rulers, nothing could pre sent a sharper contrast than the character of the first French Bourbon sovereign, Henry 'be great" and "the good," as hie people de lighted to style him, and that of the unfortunate "eon of 8t. "Louis," who tell by tho guillotine. "Whatever the original virtues of the House might have bren, by the time that the volcanic outburst of tbe revolutionary spirit first shook France, and tumbled a dishonored throne Into tbe dust, tbe race bad become wofully decne 1 ate. Tbe guillotine did not, however, tit.ish it In France. From the Btormy days ot the Revo lution, and through tboe ot the Consulate and the Empire, the two brothers of tne unfortu nate Louis lived in exile; but when Napoleon fell, the elder of them was pi need on tbe French throne by the Allies under the title of X.ouiB XVIII; a son of Louis 2 VI, who died while yet a child, in 1795, had been the seventeenth of that name. Louis XYI1I bad no children, and on his death, which took place iu 1824, he was acc eded by bis brother. Charles X. Batex- ?erince had tt erly faihd t teach wisdom to ais obstinate and tyrannical ruler, who sought to ret tore the absolutism of the French mouar chy, the corjsequence of which was that a revo- lutlonary outbieak occurred in Paris m July, 1830, com relling.lhe King to flee from France, and finally to abdicate. The latter he did In favor ot bis gr and sou Henry, Duke of Bordeaux, but tbe act came too late to save his bouse. Louis Philippe had already been chosen King of the French, and the Bourbons were, to all human appearance, forever excluded from the French tuione. The only surviving desendaut of Cbsrles. and representative of the alleged claims of the Bourbons to the French throne, is that rame grandson, known as tbe Count de Chanbord, who is forty-fight years ofae. He If, of couise, an exile, but is regarded as the lawful Kinir ot France by the legitimist), whoe linnes of a restoration he feeds by occasionally holding levees in kingly style. THE BOUBBONS IN BPAIN. The establishment of the Spanish B.Mirbou dyiiat-ty originated with Louis XIV of France, who, in the ear 1700, succeeded in placing his grandson Philip, Duke of Anfou, on the throue o' Spain as Puilip I. Tbe descendants of Puilip ruled without interruption until in 1808 Napo Ihi n conelled Kinir ( hirles IV to rcslgu, and noniiuuted a succes.sov to him in the person of Jfepb Bonupnrte, the Emperor's brother. Cbnrlef. died at Koine in 1811. and after the over throw of Jiapolron the eldest son of Charles asemded the Spanish throne as Ferdinand VII. Dying In 1K30 Ffrdiuand left the crown 1o h's dtughrer Isablla, in whose favor he bai i'V. aside by r yul decree the Salic law forbtdJ'ng a femnle to sit upoaihe inrone. The claims of Isabella were contested by Ferdinand's brother, Don Carlos, which gave rise to the Carllst war; but Dou Cailos hiving failed to es'ablish bis pretentions, eventually resiened them, and died in 1835. His con, the Count de afontemolin. in lHiid, renounced all claim to the throne of Spain. The Bourbon princes of Hpain have Invariably exhibited all tbe w rst charac teristics of their race foremost among which are a passion for absolute power, and a prone, nees to sensual seli-lndulaence and under their pernicious rule ever" interest, the prosperity of which constitutes the strength and glory of a nation, has dwindled away. NAVAL AND MILITARY BTBENOTH OF SPAIN. The Daval strength of Spain is far below that of cither ftnplnnd, France, Russia, or the United States. According to the latest otlicial returns published last year, the Spann-h navy, at tbe end of the yearl&Cti, consisted of a total of 118 vessels, bavins an arinameni of 1071 gun?. Ot there 20 ships' were ot tbe first clas3, 18 of the second class, 64 of the third class, 13 of smaller dimensions, and 8 not classiuVJ the whole number including several then bulding. Most of these vessels are steamers, and of the flrut class 14 are iron-c'.ad frigates carrying among them 1CI gunr. In the same class there are Jl screw irlgates, carrying 401 guns In all. The wlole are manned by a f rte of 14,080 sallow, and 7M0 marines, with 1121 olficers ot all ranks. Since Nelson at Ira. falgar, 111 1805, intllcied such a terrible blow on the naval power of f pain, her navy has never erjjoyed that consideration which belonged to it previous to tbat terrible fight, and its operations ot lute in the Pacific aga'nst Citlli have not added to its renown. DoubtlcM it has suffered, in common with every branch of the SpauisU service, from the bUehting influences of a reac tionary (ioverumeut. S ill, tor a power not ranking as first clas, it present on tne whole a very rei-pectable show, and its udhrsion to the cause of the revolution cannot fa I to have a powerful effect, In amoral as well as material point of v'ew, upon tbe issue ot the struggle. The latest otlicial returns giving the strength f the Bpan'sh army are of nola'erdate than 1803, in which year the entire military force ot tbe kingdom Amounted to a total of 234,261 nipn, rank and tile aud officers, the former being 227,098 id the latter &203. This total includes the provincial militia and the National Guards, which, dt ducted trora the whole, will leave tbe regular army at the floure of about 195,000 men. Of these, 164,000 are tnrntry, 17,000 cavalry, ai.d the remainder artlllerv and eneiucers. At the death of Ferdinand Vll, In 1833, the mllt U'j force of Spain consisted ol onlv 60,000 men and 8C00 horses, but in I860, when the war with Morocco was about to be undertaken, it wa incrkaed to 260 000 men, and at present, as will be seen, it is nearly three times as large as it was thirty-five years ago. A large part ef the army Is statloui d in Cuba and Hie Philippine Inlands, tbe number of soldiers in tbe former celonv alone being aboat one-fifth of the citUic military fore of Hualu. 'IXie Ppr.nlsh army has played an Important part in the revolutions which have been so common in (Ipain or la'e years, and has again and again taken sides with the leaders of the Liberal cause. This was so in 1820, when it was sought to compel Ferdinand to restore the Constitution of 1812; in 1836, when the military Insurrection occurred at Malaga for the same object; and notably in 1864, the date of Espartero's last triumph over tbe unprincipled Christina, the Queen mother. The latest military Injunction was that of 1866, headed by General Prim, which proved unsuccessful. GENERAL EUROPEAN NEWS. The Irish C'hnreb Plfflenlty. e are enabled, says the London Globe of September 19, to state that the report of the Hojal Commission on the Irish Church, which has been awaited with such intense anxiety, has been issved to day, and we are happy to add that tbe recommendations of the Commis sioners appear to be such as, If adopted, will, rtmove all ground of grievanco which has loimed the pretext of Mr. Gladstone's assault uron the Church Establishment in Ireland. The Commi'sioners propose to reduce the bishop neks by four, abolishing those of Meath, Kilmore, Killaloe, and Cawhel. Their propo sals also comprehend a rearrangement of diocese;. Tbe total revenues of the Irish Church are returned as little over 600,000, the rent charged amounting to 320,000. It is also recommended that all deans except eight should be removed, but that two archdeacons should be retained for each diocese. Tbe Royal Com missioners propose tho extension of enlarge! powers to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and the vestinr in tbem ot all surplus revenues for the purpose of providing adequate endow ments for populous parishes. It will be seen tbat these recommendations of the Commis sioners touch the very root ot the so-called abuses and anomalies in the Church of Ireland, and if carried into effect would doubtless satisfy all sections of Protes'ants, except those who are bent on destroying tbe establishment in IU con nection wttn tne btate. John Stnnrt Mill on the Rotations Be Iwcen Masters and Worklnginen. Mr. John Stuart Mill, M.

Pays a correspondent: Of Mr. Roebuck's foolish tneech I thought we bad heard the last. but this morning tbe fiat y Telegraph, revives it in an article which is well meant, 1 dare eav but which is just as absurd as Mr. Roebuck's attack. I have always thought that Americans have more to complain of iu tbe defenses of their friends in England than in tbe aspersions of their enemies, ana tne uatiy ueiegrapn sup piles a new continuation of the theory. It mentions some men whom it considers distin guUbed many of the names enumerated being justly so characterized aud goe3 on to speak of sir. vanderunt ana another gentleman in a very different spirit, and with as much igno rance as ill nature, rue writer evidently nan no idea what positions either of the gantlemcn he has named have really held, and hli coarse imputations cotivey the impression that he writes with a bitter animus againt all Ameri cans, althoueh he pretends to be their advocate.

If we are to believe the telegraph, two meet ings are to be held to-day and to-morrow be twecn tbe French Emperor and the Uuecn of Fnain. Ibe negotiators sent bv the latter to press tbe matter were, it appears, so urgent 10 their requests that it was impossible for tbe Emperor toreluce acquiescence.

His wounds, tkoueh serious, are not mortal.

Dentrnctlve Tork Loss, this morning Fire In New Haifa Million The Mew York Tribunt of repoita the followtnc: xesterdav atteinoon. at aoout 4 ociock. a Are was discovered in the enteusive United States' bonded warehouse situated on the fcatt river, a short distance north of the Fulton ferry- boue, known ai tbe Empire titores, and owned by Messrs. J. Nesmith A Son. ibe building bad formerly been occupied as an oil refinery, and the floors and beams having become thor oughly impregnated with oil, made the wood so higbly combustible that tbe water poured in upon tbe burning pile had but little or no effect. Tbe first indication of tne fire was a slight smoke, which whs observed by Mr. D x n, tbe United States Inspector, lesniug from the cracks of tbe closed iron shu.tera of the second east window of the npper story. The alarm was promptly given, but it was twenty minutes beiore a stream of water was directed toward the seat of the conflagration. Tbe origin of the fire is nnknown. A large quantity of ltie grass was stored in the npper story, ana tbe fire bad deeply pencrrated this Inflammable material before it was discovered. Tbe building was of brick, and four stories in height. It extended from the river front through to Water street, a distance of two hundred feet, and ths fire worked its way rapidly through tbe gunny cloth aud other combustible articles nntil it had tbe mastery of the entire npper floor. At about 6J o'clock the flames burst through the upper roof, and soon alter tbe floor fell in, causing tbe wall on the Water street side to bulge out and fall. Tbe crater thus opened to view was a magnificent sight. The walls which separated tbe Empiie stores on either side Iron the adjoining stores were fortunately dbuble, and tbe firemen easily pre vented tbe flames from spreading. Meanwhile, those connected with the store bcean to get out what tbey could from the lower story. About two doz?n casks ot pain oil belonging to Colgate & Co. were saved, and also about 100 bags of coffee belonging to De CHStro 4 Co. With these exceptions tbe entire contents of the building were destroyed. Tbe buildings A and B, which were destroyed, were owned by Mesers. Nesmith & Son, who are fully insured. As their contents were for the most part insured, almost the whole of the loss will tall noon the insurance companies. 1 tie lulls w ing is a list of some of the firms having goo Is stored in the building: De Castro & Co., 3000 bni:s coffee: Becker & Co . 1500 bags coffee, a quantity of jute, and other articles; Charles Zuling ft Co., several hundred bales of India rpbber; Brugulere & Thebaud, 125 bales lstle grass; Kicharu 'ibackeray & Co.. auu Dags cor- tee: H. 11. Raven, a large quantity sugar; Ribou & Monoz, -several hundred bales of 'rubber; T. T. & V. A. Pwigbt. sugar; Baindahl & Co., a Quantity ot wool. This list isveiy imperfect. and it is impossible to state with accuracy the quantity ot tbe articles mentioned, as several accounts are kept by the Government officials connected with the stores, and goods are being taken out and consigned for storage every day, The chipping alcng tbe docks was towed into tbe stream beiore the ore had made much pro gress, and was thus saved from destruction. The tire was stilt burning among the ruins of tbe building at 12 o'clock li-t ntht. Between the hours of 6 and 9 it male a beautiful sight lor the passengers on the Brooklyn terries. It Is impossible at present to give more than a rough estimate of the loss, but it can hardly be less muu yauu.uutK OBITUARY. Phlneas I. Gnrley, D.

Some months ago, with the hopes of bettering bis health, be spent a short time with friends in Philadelphia, and returned iu April to make preparations lor a trip to California, but after reaching New York it was found that he was too weak to undertake the voyaee. He then proceeded to Clifton 8prings, Western New York, where be remained until a week ago. when it was apparent tbat he could not survive many days, lie was then broaght to this city and taken to the re.-idencs of his friend Judge caeey, where every attention was paid htm, Drs. c ti.

Dr. Gurley was born at Hamilton, Madison county, New York, No veinDer n, 1010, ana graduated at union coi lege in 1837. Being impressed with the con victlon tbat it was his duty to enter the minis try, he studied at the Theological Seminary at Princeton. N. J., frm which he graduated in 1840. In tbe tall of the same year he was settled as the pastor of a Presbyterian congregation at Indianapolis, whore he remained tor nine years. being then called to the pastoral charge of the First Church, at Dayton, Ohio, where he remained four years. Abont sixteen years since he received and accepted a call from the F Street congregation of this city, and very soon became a favorite with our citizens, and the cburcb under his charge prospered. Some three or four years were spent here, when project was made to unite with tbe congrega tiou then worshipping at the intersection of U street with New York avenue, and the deceased actively engaged in bringing about a union of the two congregations, which was effected. Tbe eu id cp on r street was sold to the wniards. and the old building on New York avenue was in a short time replacing by a splendid edifice, in which the very large congregation now afflicted oy tne oeata 01 their beloved pastor, worship. Dr. Gurley was a man of commanding stature, but was modest and retiring In his disposition a singularly easy and graceful sseaker, and tbe arrangement and style ot his discourses was such as to attract the attention of hH hearers, As a citizen be bad hosts of Iriends, aud his loss will be keenly felt by the community, Drs. Nichols, Dexter, and Todd this morning held a pobt mortem examination, which revealed the fart that the stomach had thickeued and nlceratert in patches, one or more of the ulcera' hops being perlornted.

Mr. Cassidy called the attention of tbe Court to the matter or the Becjid division of the Fifteenth ward, wbereln Councils bad named a place for holding the election upon tbe very same day thai the cltia-n bad named a different place; and the Hberitl had In his proclamation destgna'td ihe place selected by Coun cils. Therefore ti e Court was asked la order the bhertff to correct this and name the place cboiea by tbe citizens. In accordance wltn the recent dec'ston of Jndf e aillton.ln Ihe matter of the Beveotndivislinof the Fifteenth ward, which tbe Court consented to do. at It o'clock Mr. Per a ins came Into Court and pre sented the return of tbe Asses so e ot the Kaslern dl Islonot the Fifteenth ward, which was a geuerat oeaiaioreu ine allegations or tae petitioner' am dsvils except one. tha one selling for that lue as am son had refused to admit a gentleman into their room. Mr. Cassidy said tbat the Court snuU perceive that Ibe return was evasive, nl wanted only to know whether they would agree to permit a reputable per son, to be named by couasel or by tue Court Itself to go there, aod. representing the minority, observe what was going on. But he thought tbey eld not intend to agree to that. It was a very aim pie ques tion, whether, so long aa these persons did notciowd or Jostle Ibe Asseanors. tbey had uot as much right lurrv aa uvr people dsts nf-rv, Tbe Court asked if they objected to a persoa of eich party gelog luT Mr. Ctusldy replied that was Jail what they did object to. Judge Pelrce reminded Mr. Perkins tbat the retnrn had not denied tbe adldavlt ol the oetlilouera in respect te tbe relusal of ibe ase aors t admit tbe poison mentioned to enter, ate tneir persistence in not accepting ine suggestion 01 me uourt mrew sua ulcloD ddab the CnurL.

Judae Pelrce replied that he could not say they bad tl e p war of saying that this pexaoa anoulet enter and that one not. Judee I.udlew here remarked that If tbe sugges tions wrie acted upon, tha court, fur tbepr teotlou of the aartaaora, wnuid extend ine order no luriuer man to the admission or two persons to renaia In tbe room wltn them. If the two assessors were of tie same parly. It was absolutely necessary to have a person ot tbe eppnalle party present. But such a pers m would have nothing lido but to sit tbere and make his observations, and bad ao right to luterfere wltb Lhe work of the assessors. an. ft'redtrlck Bower was named by Mr. Oawldy as tbe reraou who should go there, aod alter much haal tatlon was accepted bv Ibe o, her party; aud thus etaea the matter ur ine present.
