By an arrival at cw lork yesterday we have
luropean advices to Oct. 31.
SPAIN.
The People Imiinllont,
Madrid correspondence of trio 28.h ultimo,
con'ains tbe followine:
The pressure brought to bar noon the provi
sional government Irom hII sides has at Inst
become too Berious oud mighty to be louirer
neiilecied, nd too chances ate mat we s uan
have a c lor an elec'ion ot deputies to tlie
Cortes in a few days A dozen or more project
for obiaiDioff a tree exercise of the electoral
ftncoiee have been discusced, adopted and then
laid aside; ai.d meanwhile the people have
become impatient and demand that tli.j
piovisioual government shall at least mak-eso,nc
sign of carrying out tbdr promises Riven at
Cadis. The country, or at least tbat portion of
the people that do what littlo thinking there is
done in tspain, do not hue to cee tha
temporary povernmert, self-sonstituted as
It is, cllDfr bo tlpbtly to the power
tbey have obtained. They want to see
that appeal to the people wblsb. we have
heard so much about. Tbey want some proofs
tbat the prop'e are really to enloy a share in
tbe government, and tnat the popular cries oi
natli nal toveretsrntv and the will of tbe people
are not mete leather at d prunella, meaning
notbine. Tbe Spaniards aie naturally very
suspicious, and wben once they get an idea
Into their heads tbat somebody Is playing them
false, it is exceedmaly difficult, if not impossi
ble, to convince them o lierwise. They have
thai had a sort ot Indistinct idea that the mili
tary peutlemen at tbe bead oi the provisional
poverninent ha 1 no idea of luvltiue tbe people
to aid in forming a permanent government, but
were merely talking an i shuillmi? about to pain
time to consolidate their power aud strengthen
their position.
Generals Serrano and Prim.
For this reason Generals hcrrano and Prim
have lost ground decidedly, and tbe neople are
daily beeomirg more gueptcioua and doibtful of
their intention;, Instead ot' coming out with
a call for a general election ot a C rte, whictt
tliouid have the authority 10 3.v what sort of
rovrnmeut should be permanently established,
Serrano and Prim have been writing letters, and
the entire Government ha surned a circular or
manifesto to the people, urging the necessity of
adopting a constitutional uiouatcoy as the only
ate and legitimate lortu ot uovi-rnmeut tor
Spain. Then tbe little game of declaring that
tue bais on which tie election bhouli take
place was not agreeable 10 the people.
Constitutional Monnrcby,
Tbo idea that a mere handful of men should
ex less the will of a uati'in was absurd aud
ridieu'ou, not to charactei ize it more severely,
and the Madrid Juuu did a capsUl day's work
wben it squelcueJ the project in the bad aid
told the provisional government that tbe people,
not V, should decide as to tbe proper form of
coveriiOjeutnurter wbicb Spa n ws to begin
hertareer. Nothing put tbe prompt antion of
He Madrid Junta, wh ch was a body of great
respectability and wuriom, and tha equally
prompt endorsement of its declarations by all
tbe prominent Juntas throughout Ppatn, pr ---vented
an act tbat would not have bea at all
tatisiuctory to the people or beneficial to tbe
government. It is now quite certain tbat thu
question will be eeUled by tbe Cortes, which i
to be elected some unie in N ivember. It is
confidently expected that the Cones will meet
about tbe 20tb of December, altboueb we have
nothing but talk, wuich bete amounts to very
little. Something must be done soon, that is
sure.

Meeting; of tbe Constituent Assembly.
Madrid (Oct. 20) Cb respondencc London Timet.
The decree for tbe convocation of the Con
stituent Assembly is Mill put oil Iromdiyto
day, aod it is positively understood tu-it no
earner date than the 29. b ol November will be
appointed for the beginning of the ventral eiec

tbe paper constitutions of trance, Spain, 'and
ItalT, election day falls on a Sunday, and uis
euucied tbat, in those coubtituencies in which
the first scrutiny leads to no dec eive result,,
i.e., in which none of the candiuates obtain
what constitutes a legal majority, a second and
final experiment thouid be rnaie on the tol
loiup Sunday. Tbe names ot ine lepres-uita-t
vea in the Cortis will, tbereture, not oo luliy

probably before Ne Year's day.

deliberations than strangers at a distance inigut

its ability to eoi t ol all future movements.
W ere a couple ot iegimetiti to uiarc'i on Seville
or Barcelona or ou Madrid, with a Mnutpeusier,

it Is certainlv not Irom tbe peoplo tbat

Tbe army, however, is for the present quiesceut j
it is satisfied with Hsel', pa riot c, fraternally

From the London Telegraph, Oct. 28.
We are not yet aware how ournatlonal "glide,
philosopher, and triend" we mean Zadkiel,
not Mr. Disraeli has arranged our political
debtiuies for next year; but if tbat venerable
sage draws omens from anvthlng else than
Btars, he nneht find a hl'it for bis next pro
phecy in a little incident which, according to a
Mnnirooe paper, occurred during the Premier's
visit to Cratme Courch. Mr. Disraeli, "wrant
in n edltation," did not notice that "the colieo
tion" was being made, and ' the lalla"usedin
Scotch churches pleasantly suggestive ")f toddy
bad parsed him before be bail ha-tily pulled out
his purse; but Mr. D sraeh hauded the money
to bis neighbor, who In turu banded it on in
tbe hope that it would reach the retrea.lng
money box. Along one teat it went, up another,
down the nevt, but without succ :ss; and the
Inst holder, seeing the frulileasness of the pur
suit, returned tbe coin to him who gave it.
"Too late I" Mr. Disraeli, anxious to support
the Cburcb, ami acting too late I What au
omen for our Irish friends! It is as (rood at
least as the flight of birds, or the sorles Vtrgi i

"gave one of his peculiar uniles, coolly put the

poraries will find in this levity a neT pro )f of

aud piofune, and his cynical readiness to laugh,
even when the Irish Church topples to the

l.nst Honrs of the Archbishop of Can
terbury. From the Guardian,
The good old Archbishop of Cau'erbary Wds
seized almost suddenly with bronchitis on ths
13th of September, while on his way back from
Tyrol. Fie reached Addington on the )6ib, and
was able, though with difficulty, to hold his
ordination in the parish church on the follow
ing Sunday. Two or three times he rallied so
much that hopes were entertained that bis
robust constitution would enable bltn to sbuk-
off tb disease. Ou the evening of Ttursday
week the un'avorable symptoms liisrea-ed, and
from that time he was confined to his
bed. His mental powers remained uninjured,
and he was occupied uncasiugly in reading de
votional books, er in writing or giving instruc
tions ,. concerning his change, wbich he had
almont completed, though he bad quite given uo
tbe idea of delivering it orally, lie anticipated
the eud almost from the first, and in a paper
writteu three or lour days ago, when speamng
was become difficult to bim, be said, '1 commit
my soul into the hands of my God an t dear Sa
viour. I lave bad proofs enough ot liis love in
tbe last, and I am well assured tbat whatever
surleriDgHjOr trials are permitted to befall me are
visitations of love. Tboutrb, ho slay me, yet
will I trust in Him.' As to the :aith in which I
wish to die, I cannot better express it thau In
Richard Hooker's dying words, as indicated in
the underlined oa-sae I heve written out. "A
poor and guilty sinner I kuow myself to be;
but I believe that tho-e who kneel at the foot
of the Cross with this sincere confession will
never be cast out if they look to tbe cleaning
blood of Christ lor their sole ground of pardon
and acceptance.' Tbe following is tne
extract from Hooker:" Though, I have
by liis grace loved Hiui in my
youth, and leared Him in mine age. aud
labored to have a conscience void ot offense
to Him and to all men: yet if Tbou, O Lord, b?
extreme to mark what I b ivedoue amiss, who
can abide it? And, therefore, where I have
tailed, Lord, show UK-rcy to me; for I plead, not
my rieliteousuess, but th forgiveness of my
own nnrigbteousuess, for His merits who died
to purchase paid n for petfent sinners. And
since 1 owe Thee a death, ) Lord, let it not be
terrible, and then take thine own time. Lot
not mine, O Lord, but Thy will be done." Da
Sunday bis grace appeared decidedly better,
but on Monday afternoon the disease
chaneed for the worse, aud from tbat
time he sauk rapidly. He reclvud
the Holy Communion ab ut midday on Tues
day, making all tbe responses with a cbeertul
and happy face. His last Intel lia ble words
were those of the "Gloria in Escelsis:'' but
his looks and gestures proved how e igerlv he
jjlred in the prayers and ejaculations which
were said wiih bim during the day. aud never
was there seen a more beautiful peace than that
ot his last hour. About 6 o'clock he became
unconscious. The members of his amily, wiih
his medical attendant, Dr. Carpenter, and Mr.
Betibam, the Vicar of Addington, were with
him to the last; and he died, in the mid lie of
the words oi commendation, so quietly tbat the
last moment waa not perceptible.

the Fort Pitt Works, Pittsburg, welghlug 53,225
pounds, and is the second one oi' the kind ever
manufactured In this country. The first one
was cast at the same woiks before the late R-j.

Experiment In Onnnery.
Since tbe war she was taken on the beach to
be tested, and burst after having some 700
rounds fired. The gun which arrived yester
'day will be used about the 20th Inst, for experi
mental firing on a large stone target, erected
during the last summer by the Engineer Depart"

have taken place some two months ago, but
have been delayed in order to have the 12-Inch
gun here lor the occasion. It la mentioned that
General Uraut,
Secretary Schoaeld, end a number of other pro
minent officials, will be 'present to witness tbe
firing. The target ia an immense granite struc
ture, about twenty feet high, thirty leet in
brtadtb, and eight or ten feet In thickness. It
is similar to the one erected during tbe summer
of 18G6, except that it is not iron clad. It Is
surmounted by heavy ordinance, and is a very
formidable structure.

Ti e pressure lor money continues heavy, aud
call loans on Government collateral range from
8 to 121 per cent., and on mixed securities from
0 to 15 per cent. Bus'.ness is dull that the
volume of trade should be l'ght is not to be
wondered at, under the circumstances, for
while many holoeis are naturally desirous of
realizing, even at prices below the cost of pro
duction or importation, buyers are not to be
tempted beyoedthe most exigent and immediate
wants of consumption. So much incertitude
exists in regaid to the future, indeed, that busi
ness men do not attempt to forecast it, but
prefer leaving it to take care ot itself. Taey
aim only 10 keep their resources well in hind,
so ns to be prepared for nuy emergency.
The Stock market was dull this moin'ng,
witcout, however, much chane in prices.
