EASTER?. WEEK.
A happy coincidence of piety, fashion and
fine weather made yesterday a very festive
Easter Sunday. The habiliments of the long
fast of Lent were cast off, and some of the
principal milliners and modistes having con
siderately had their "openings' in Holy
Week, the festival of the Resurrection had
in it ail that could be desired in the way of
finery for the female figure. Some of the
most devout of the observers of Lent had im
proved the sacred season by ordering thei r
dry-goods and millinery from Parts, and these
having arrived just in time, and being inter
mingled with the equally pretty, but not so
costly, home productions, 'the spectacle of
yesterday was picturesque as well as edifying.
The imid•day promenade on West Walnut
Street,' end the afternoon promenade on North
Broad 'Street, were sights worth beholding.
No wonder the old poet, if he was inspired
by stich'a day as yesterday, should have sung,
when searching for a supreme illustration of
bis mistress's dancing :
"No sun upon an Easter day
Was half so fine a sight."
It was a right bright vernal Sunday, in
which all the glories of the season seemed to
join with the solemnities of the religious cal
endar and the decrees of the authors and ar
biters in dress and fashion, to make a real,
holiday.
A certain übiquitous church-goer, of lib
eral views, has reported that the ecclesiastical
observance of Easter was more than usually
interesting among the various denominations
into which this huge community of believers
is divided. The Roman Catholics had, of
course, their masses, music, flowers and can
dles. The Episcopalians of various degrees
had their rubrical or anti-rubrical services,
even some of the most evangelical indulging
ii what would once have been considered
einfnl—flowers as •decorations of the chancel;
as if the chaste and exquisite productions of
nature could ever be made matters of theo -
logical controversy or illustrations of doc
trinal faith. There have been reports that
Lutherans, Moravians, Presbyterians, Metho
dists and others have fallen to the vanity of
flowers as appropriate symbolical decorations
at their Easter religious exercises yesterday.
But, inasmuch as Solomon, in all his glory,
was not arrayed as one of them, there can be
no logibal objection to the use of flowers as
adjuncts to a religious recognition of the
same Being who accepted Solomon as one of
his conspicuous and inspired servants.
However denominational views may differ
concerning flowers as religious symbols, there
can be no question as to the perfect unanim
ity of all denominations concerning flowers
as parts of the finery suitable for the season
of Spring, the recognized beginning of which
is Easter Sunday. The milliners of Phila
delphia, as well as those of Paris, make no
distinction between Catholic and Protestant,
High and Low Church, Methodist and Mo
ravian, Christian and Hebrew, when they
are devising bonnets for their customers.
They compose in flowers, leaves, ribbons,
feathers, silks and Velvets, indiscriminately,
for pagan and puritan, saint and sinner, and
yesterday, being a well-marked day, recog
nized by the youngest cracker of Easter eggs
as well as by the oldest and most earnest re
ligious devotee, the imitations of spring flow
era and leaves on the heads of the female de
vout were beautiful to behold. It is plain
that artificial flowers, at lean, when worn
upon a woman's head, are not 'considered
heterodox by any sect, if we except our good
citizens the Friends.
The rain storm that set in, after an Easter
Sunday so dazzling, has rather thrown a
damper upon the festivities planned for
Easter week. But the fashionable world,
chastened by the long and severe penances of
Lent, is not going to suffer its proposed plea
sures to be frustrated or even interfered with
by equinoctial weather. Least of all is It
going to let that or any other cause deter it
from indulging its appetite for rich viands
and exhilarating drinks, from which, by; a
pleasant fiction, it is supposed to have ab
stained tor six long weeks. Su this week is
to be crowded with costly entertainments, at
Which the heavy feeders and heavy drinkers
of Pl. iladelphia are to resume their partly in
Iterrnpted contest. The important question,
who can give the most sumptuous and costly
entertainment, is again to be opened. Thus
the intellecttial,refined and fashionable world,
relieved from the restraints of a decorous but
rather wearisome religious observance, is once
more going to have something worth being In
good society for, something worth living for,
something almost worth dying for. To eat
and drink, and to furnish food and drink, In
magnificent abundance, are grand objects and
grand ideas in which to educate a rising
generation, and Easter is the time for taking
a fresh start, with appetites renewed by long
abstinence.
ENTEUNNTIONAL COP YRIG nr.
The recent dispute between two American
publishing houses, one in this city and one in
New York, as to the right of each to reprint
the books of a certain English author, sug
gests that the ancient question of the deal
rability of an international copyright law
might be reopened advantageously. It is
very much to the discredit of this country
that such a law was , not enacted long ago.
That this was not the case is attributable to
the cupidity of certain publishers who have
found it more profitable to steal the brain
work of, foreign writers than to pay for it
honestly. Perhaps there was a shadow of an
THE DAILY EV,ENIICCI BULLErrIN7-PHILADELI'HI.A, MONDAY,., MARCH 29, 1869.,
excuse for - refusal -to prevent this piracy,
years ago, when American: literature was in
its swaddling clothes, and a good American
book waia rarity. A moralist of a not too
rigorous cast might have been disposed to
wink at a system which gave to the people of
this country the best literature at trifling cost,
and contributed largely to popular intelli
gence. It was a case in which a very great
William produced a very good result Then,
the gain was all upon our side. We had no
books by reprinting which English publishers
could retaliate and help compensate for their
losses. But the situation is different now, and,
leaving out of the discussion all question of
right, self-interest requires that we should se
cure an international copyright law as speed
ily as possible. The number of American
authors, already enormous,is increasing every
day, and many of the most popular find mul
titudes of readers in England, and have their
works translated into every European lan
guage. In a majority of cases their only com
pensation is the satisfaction derived from a
knowledge of their popularity; and while they
are comforting themselves as best they can
with this reflection, other men are building up
fortunes upon their foundation. The writers
on both sides of the Atlantic are ploughing
and sowing and bearing the burden and heat
of the day, and the publishers of bOth conti
nents are coolly appropriating the lion's share
of the harvest. It we had no disposition in
former years to do justice to foreign authors,
we certainly ought to be ready to protect our
own, now.
A man who writes a book has as clear a
title to it as another man has to the sewing
machine that he invents; but the latter can
secure patent rights all .over the civilized
world, and obtain every dollar of profit,while
the author must be contented with what he
can make by the sale of his work at horn?.
If the first is just, the latter is very unjust;
and it is more iniquitous exactly in propor
tion to the superiority of literary art to
mechanical art. It ought to be so arranged
between all civilized communities that nobody
shall have a right to profit by another man's
labor unless he pays for it. The refusal on
the part of any government to compel its
people to compensate foreign workmen,whose
productions are used, is just as iniquitous as
it' the government placed a premium directly
upon theft. Our neglect to pass an inter
national copyright law is just about as culpa
ble, morally, as if we gave official sanction to
the operations of a set of border ruffians who
made daily incursions upon Canada to plun
der, and then defended them from punish
ment.
The only obstacle to this righteous reform
is the protest of certain publishers. While
our own and foreign authors demand protec
tion, these men stand in the way and cry
against the proposed law, with no other excuse
than that it will deprive them of Illegitimate
profit. Of late years a few honorable men
have begun to compensate, to some ex
tent, the foreign authors whose works they
reprint ; and other American houses have
had a proper enough sense of justice . to
respect such partial purchase. But the rights
of authors ought not to be trusted to the gen
erosity of anybody; nor should an honest
publisher, who has paid for his reprint, be
protected merely by the forbeara ice of his
rivals. Both should be able to .look to the
law for a defence of their rights, and it is the
duty of the government under which they
both live to give them such a law.
It is observable that the most vi;orous op
ponents of international copyrighLze those
who are most niggardly in their treat
ment of fOreign authors. There are firms in
this country who have made immense for
tunes by deliberate and systematic piracies
for years past,—who have crammed books,
magazines and newspapers with the writings
of foreign authors, half the time without
credit, nearly always without pecuniary com
pensation. Their example has been imitated
by smaller operators, until, to-day, the coun
try is flooded with newspapers and magazines
containing literature of all kinds, from the
choicest to the foulest, which cost nothing
but the price of printing. One of the results
of this thieving is that American magazine
literature is poor and unworthy of a nation
such as this. Native talent, in this respect,
has had no opportunity to develop. American
writers have had to contend with foreign
competition at a ruinous disadvantage.
The market price of magazine articles,
• for instance, has been reduced to such a
figure, that competent men, unless they have
reputation, hardly care to make many ven
tures; certainly none are likely to make this
department of literature their profession. An
international copyright law will have the
effect, in some degree, of bringing out the
latent talent of the country ; publishers will
be compelled to stop stealing and begin buy
ing; and the result, we doubt not, will be
satisfactory to everybody but those who have
been making unlawful profits under the pre
sent system. We hope the advocates of the
law will marshal their forces for a fresh at
tack upon Congress at its next session.
Public opinion is beginning to favor the estab
lishment of international copyright more de
cidedly than ever before, and simply a little
further organized effort will be necessary to
secure it.
—Harper'B Ilcek/y is wonderful in some
of its original illustrations. This week it
gives a grand cartoon of the Cabinet, and
such a collection of ruffians as President
Grant has gathered around him, according to
Harper, is rarely to be seen out of Bing-Sing
or Moyamensing. Faint suggestions of the
ideas that may have been struggling in the
artist's (!) brain can be detected by a vivid
imagination, in the grotesque figures labelled
"Boric" and "Grant." The back of Ores-
well's head may also be a tolerably good
likeness, though we doubt it. But poor
General Rawlins' pleasant, grave face is
knocked out of all similitude; while the
figure marked "Hamilton Fish" Is a
positive outrage. Indeed, it is not quite
certain whether a tall waste-paper
basket. covered with an efflorescence
of rejected documents, is not quite as much
like the Secretary of State, as is the forlorn,
sullen-looking wretch, who is sitting like a
felon on trial by court martial, while a figure
said to be General Cox, stands like a police
man; on duty, behind him. The man who
I made Ibis horrible caricature is named W.
S. L. Jewett, and the Harper Brothers con-
eider themselves moral men. One thing in
cerydn, nobody will , ever •charge thorn with
stealing that picture.
The entire control ofstreet cleaning, &0.,
in this city, is now vested in the Board of
Health. Mr. Barlow, at the last meeting of
Councils, made a statement purplriing to be
founded upon the opinion of the City Solicitor
- to wit : "That, the new bill - did not take the
control of the present contracts from the
Mayor and Councils," and strange to say,
right on the heels of this assertion, offered a
resolution requesting the Mayor to annul the
said contracts on the first of April—up to
which time the contractors should be paid.
Neither Councils nor the Mayor have any
thing more to ssy in this matter. They can
not annul the contracts. The entire supervi
sion of the contracts is now in the hands of
the Board of Health. If the contractors ful
fill the terms of their contracts, no power can
annul them. But the Board of Health is now
the sole judge in the matter. Therefore the
first duty of the Board is to enforce the pre --
sent contracts or annul them. The people
look for prompt. not temporary action. Lot
them have it.

THE COURTS.
Oven AND TERMINER Judges Allison and Peirce.—
This morning James Shields was put on trial, charged
with the murder of Andrew Golden, on the second of
November last, at Twenty-third and Chestnut, streets.
According to the facts developed upon the Coroner's
inquest, Shields was in a tavern on the eve of the
Presidential election, when Golden entered and en
gaged in a political dispute. From words the parties
soon got to blows, and a tight in the bar-room was the
result. In the course of it, Mr. Golden was stabbed
in the abdomen, and died tour days afterwards at the
Hospital. As the prisoner was Immediately connected
with the tight he was arrested and held to answer.
A jury bad not been obtained when our repot

culty between . the English naval authorities and
the Chinesof near Swatow.
The commander of one of the English vessels,
when passing a village in his boat, was pelted
with stones. Ho seized the leader of the party
and was taking him to Swatow, but was inter
cepted and fired upon by the villagers, who
wounded eleven of his men. He returned the
fire, killing eleven and wounding thirty of his
assailants. The British Admiral Koppel had
despatc,bed two gunboats from Hong Kong to
redress this outrage.

Easter Services at fit. Altators.
The New York Tribune bays:
All the Lenten decorations had been removed,
and the chancel and sanctuary of the little church
were decked in all the bright and joyous garb of.
Easter. Two magnificent bouquete of white came
llias stood on the altar shelf, and two large pyra
mids of white arams wore placed on the floor of
the sanetttary,the altar being appropriately vested.
Half-past ten was the hoar for the Great Func
tion of the day. Punctually at that time the pro
et mien, consisting of the crucifier, choristers,
choirmen, taper-bearers, thurtfer, acolytes, and
ceremonlarins, and the sub-deacon, deacon and
celebrant entered the church, singing: "Jesus
Christ has risen to-day,•" Father Morrill wearing
a very beautiful laced alb, and a most costly and
magnificent chasuble. The chasuble was
worked by the Sisters of Bt. Margaret's
Convent, at East Grinstead, In England,
and fully sustained the repnfation which
Mother Ann and the Sisters of the Convent have
earned for the great beauty and delicacy of their
work; it is the gift of a member of the congrega
tion at present traveling in Europe. After the
processional hymn the introit for Easter was
sung, at the termination of which the Priests
advanced to the altar, and the celebration of Sol
emn High Mass Wgan , the music being set to
Mozart's Twelfth Maw. Father Morrill was
Celebrant, Father Noyes Deacon, and Father
Mines Sub-Deacon. Incense was offerep
during the singing of the Gradual. and the
Gospeller read the Gospel for the dr9,, attended
by two acolytes bearing the Gospel .11Wita, which,
together with the Paschal light, had been beauti
fully Illuminated with sacred emblems by a lady
of the congregation. After the singing of the
Creed (Merbeckes) Father Mines proceeded to
the pulpit and delivered an excellent sermon on the
future great Easter of the faithful, at the termina
tion of which the choir sang an offertory hymn
splendidly. During the singing of the "Agnes
Dci" the priest made his Communion, and then
proceed ed to administer to the choir and general
congregation. After all had communicated. Mo
zart's magnificent "Gloria in Ercelaia" was done
with a force and precision which rendered it very
grand; the ablutions were performed, the bless
ing was given, and the procession, having re
formed in the same order as on entering, retired
singing the "Nam Dimrnitlas." Altogether this
was one of the grandest and most solemn func
tions that has yet been witnessed in St. Alban's
Church.
Vespers were sting at 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
Incense being offered during the singing of the
Magniilcat.

MONDAY, March 20.—The local money market was void
of any distinctive feature to-day. The demand for loans
was quite active both In the regular and outside market.
but the pressure has been moderate compared with last
week. If this be not the result of the very bad weather
to-day it may perhaps indicate that the crisis which
tirtfatened the money market has already reached its
climax and that a gradual easing up may be expected
from day to day.
The condition of trade generally is very unsatisfactory,
whilst in some particular branches it is regarded as quite
critical. What the end will be it is about as difficult to
predict as it is to define the cause, but the simple fact is
there—a very limited trade for theist of April. and a very
uncertain prospect of improvement in the near future. The
result is very sensible on the money market, and now that
propitiations have been made for quarterly indebtedness.
A and speculation has well nigh died out, the process of re
cuperation will probably bo very rapid. The rates fir
loans on call varied between 7 and 8 per cont. on Gov
ernments and B@9 per cent. on mixed seceritles 'rhe
discount rates for prime mercantile paper ranged be.
tween 111Q12 Or cent., and the bulk of this bwileese was
done on the street. -
Government bonds were weak. Gold at 19 M. stood
13196. Btato Loans were steady with sales of the first
series at the second series at 10134. City Leans—new
hone closed at 100%.

New York Money Inkriret.
[From the New York Herald of to-day.l
KieranlB. The ensuing week will be one of deep in
tereot to thine who are concerned in the course of events
in Walt street. The great annual settling day the first
of April. happens in its midst, and the contraction of one
banks on the one hand and the rapid movements
of currency an the other will create a spasm in the
money market which it will be well to prepare for in
good season. The banks have 'been gradually ehippring
to the country to meet the demand which
springs up at this season of the year among the
farmers and the mantifactuting interests, and the bat
area on band to accommodate their city customers has
been very small. Currency haagone to Boston to be dia.
tributed to the Eastern mills and to Philadelphia to be
;distributed to the Pennsylvania mines. The country.
banks have been drawing down their balances with us in
meeting the first calls of this general demand. and mach
anxiety is felt as to the extent of the stringency which
will result when the final movement comes.
The weekly statement of the associated banish not as
unfavorable as was expected in some portions of the
Knee, the legal tender rewrite being lessened only a small
amount: the lose in specie and legal tenders has been
11.3.0 0 0.000, the bunko have expanded to the extent of more
than 11100,0tA. thee lug the efforts which then institutions
have been making to accommodate the mercantile de
mand of the city In the taco of the heavy calls upon them
from the outride country. The deposits have fallen off to
an amount which represents the lots In specie and the
nuns paid for customs daring the week.
The decrease in legal reserve Ls about s2.soo.ooo.leavitut
the banks about 119,000 in excess of the legal reserve as •
basis of operation for the coming week, which, as ft in
anon the let day of April, the great settling day of the
country, will be a very close one for the working of
the money market. it is fortunate that the aggravation
of a quartet ly etotement isnot added to the astern' in
convenience of the period.
Governments were heavy. and at the close of the week
showed a decline of about three-quarters per rent for the
list as compared with prices at the beginning, reflecting
the indhposition to speculate during the activity of
money. The foreign bankers were nt from the mar
ket. and lett It without the prominent support widen they
have been in the habit of giving it. Trio London price
bee been steady at 833 , 44 ?.'3%.
Gold was dull and fluctuated very little. The "shorts.
were -equeend" once or twice and compelled to pay
rather dearly for cash gold.
The market is glutted with foreign exchange and voila.,
baukei s' sterling, sixty days, har been sold at leMs. A
continuance of the prevailing dullness would lead to gold
importations in payment for the bonds which were
bought on benign account. Cable tranfere have been

iSrecialDespatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bullet:W.l

Market shows no abatement. Loans of all duxes of col.
laterals, not excepting Governments, are made at seven
per cent— coin. and for miseellaneotm and stock col
laterals an additional shave of a sixteenth to an

conservative bankers, however, who loan to the extent of
their ability at seven per cent. currency. The banks are
in no condition to render assistance to oorrowera, as they
are poor and obliged to respond to the
calls of country correspondents. which have
drawn the currency balance down to an alarming de

Secretary of War and General Sherman this

WM3HINGTON, March 29.—Brevet Brigadier-
General Ely Parker, late of General Grant's staff,
has tendered his resignation, it having for some
time been his intention to retire from military
service. A large number of army officers, left
waiting orders by the recent consolidation, are
availing themselves of the opportunity offered
to enter civil life, and the reduction seems to pro
voke no dissatisfaction in the army.
The President has not yet entirely recovered,
and did not receive visitors to-day.
The Senate Pacific Railroad Committee at their

By Mr. Whittemore,to authorize theleettlement
of certain accounts.
Also, to enable the Secretary of the Treasury 'to
contract with Fish Mills for a group of statuary
for the south wing of the Capitol.
Goitscikalß the Composer.
We learn from letters just received from South
-America that the pianist and composer, L. •M.
Gottschalk, has secluded himself momentarily
from the world, in a small hamlet on the banks
of the Rio de la Plata, 'not many miles from
Buenos Ayres, where his life is devoted to study
and composition. We trust that the fruits of his
labors are not solely intended for the edification
of the South Americans, and that he may soon be
prompted to recognize the claims of his native
country on his genius and the , artistic influence
of his presence.
During his absence from the United States, he
has produced a symphony for orchestra, a tri
ntrphal march, also a tarantella for piano and
orchestra, which has met with immense success
in all his concerts, besides many works exc u
sively for the piano. The influence of Sir. Gotts
chalk's writings on the piano composers of Ame
rica (unfortunately a limited class) has been im
mense. In the form of his pieces, in his cadenzas,
and in his style of playing them, ho has been
universally imitated, and the demands of his
music have to a certain extent modified the con
struction of pianos. The recent prodigious de
velopment in regard to voices, musical training,
and the perfecting of pianos, prove that music is
destined to be the art of America. and it is to be
hoped that those whose gifts fit them for models
in any branch of art will return to their country
men to give them the inspiration of their origin
ality and the refining influence of their superior
culture.—N. F. Times.

TAE PUBLIC BBILDUCGI COMMISSION.-A. meeting
of this body was held this afternoon, In the New
Court House, Wm. 8. Stokley, Esti., President,
in the chair.
Mr. Walter submitted the following:
Whereas, The ordinance enacted by the Select
and Common Councils of the city of Philadelphia,
and approved by the Mayor, on the 31st og: De
cember, 1868, entitled "An ordinance to provide
for the erection of public buildings," renders it
obligatory upon the commissioners appointed by
the said ordinance "to advertise in at least two
daily newspapers published in the said city for
three weeks for plans and estimates of cost of the
proposed buildings;" and
Whereas, We, the Board of Commissioners
aforesaid, being of the opinion that the issuing of
a general advertisement for plans would not be
the best course. to pursue to insure satisfatory
results, requested the City Councils to enact a
,oipplemental ordinance, leaving the Commission
tree to obtain plans and designs in such manner
as they may deem most advantageous to the
public interest; and
Whereas, In pursuance of the aforesaid request,
a supplemental ordinance, having for its object
a change in the manner of procuring plans and
designs for the said buildings, was introduced in
the City Councils, and after having been consi
dered in both branches of the same, it failed to
become a law ; therefore,
Resolved, That this CommiesiJii proceed, with
out delay, to erect the public buildings on Inde
pendence Square, as provided for in the afore
mentioned ordinance of the City Councils, ap
proved Dec. 31, 1868, and amended by a supple
ment to the same, approved January 18, 1869 ;
and that all the conditions, terms and provisions
of the aforesaid original enactment. as amended,
be faithfully and energetically carried out.
Resolved, That "the Committee on Architecture
and Plans" be directed to proceed forthwith, un
der,.tbe original ordinance, "to advertise in at
least two daily newspapers published in this city,
for three weeks, for plans and estimates of the
cost of the proposed buildings."
' The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Mr. Spering moved to reconsider the resolu
tion by which the Committee on Architecture and
Plans had been directed to provide a room for
military purposes in the now buildings. He
thought that the action had been taken rather
hastily, and that this commission had no au
thority to dispose of any rooms in the new build
ings.
Mr. Harper7contended that the Commission
would have to designate all the rooms in the now
buildings. It will be necessary to appropriate
certain space for the Receiver of Taxes, Recorder
of Deeds and other Departments, and therefore
there can be no harm in designating an apart
ment for the military.
Mr. Gillingham said that the Commission will
have to supply rooms for all of the departments,
but beyond that the Commission has no au
thority. There are at least twenty organisations
which will make application for rooms.
After some further dihcussion the motion to re
consider was disagreed to.
Mr. Mortlmer• L.' Johnson was then elected
Messenger for the Commission.
Adjourned ill Monday next.

The commander of the English gunboat Cock
chafer took his boats some six or eight miles
from the anchorage to exercise them, and' in

menced pelting them with stones. Lieutenant

the elders of the village, decided to take the head

fired on the Lieutenant, who returned the fire
and FOOD dispersed them. The Lieutenant re
embarked and when a gunshot away on his re
turn was intercepted by the villagers, who had

General Fremont's Pacific Railroad
An Indefinite Postponement Desired

Gen. FremonVe Pacific. Railroad.
[Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening' Balletin.l
_Wesainerrosi t March 29.—The Senate Pacific
Railroad Committee decided, at their meeting
taday, to ask the indefinite postponement of
General Fremont's Memphis and El Paso Pacific
Railroad bill, when it is called up in the &nate.
This bill, which the House passed almost unani
mously, and which asks nothing more than the
right of way from Congress, meets with strong
opposition from those who are seeking to push
brough bills establishing other routes with large
subsidies.
It is claimed that the passage of Gen.Fremoneb
bill will establish a bad precedent, and prevent
other roads in future from obtaining anything
from Congress more than the right of way. As
the bill bag net even been referred to the Pacific
Railroad Committee, their action to-day must
therefore be regarded as prejudging the bill. It
seems, however, that a majority of the Committee
are determined not to allow the passage of the
Fremont bill until the others, which contain
clauses allowing subsidies, are passed.
Nominations by the President.

TIRE KING OF SPAIN
Who the Coming Man Is.
Our European telegrams announce as certain
the approaching proclamation of the Duke of
Montpensier as King of Spain. The Prince is
the fifth eon of Louis Philippe, formerly King of
the French. He was born at Neuilly, near Paris,
in 1824. Ills cunning fatheemarried him In 1846
to the Spanish Princess Louisa, the slater of
Queen Isabella IL, and at the same time
brought about the Queen's marriage to
her imbecile cousin, Francis of Assisi. Louis
Philippe supposed that this would be a childless
marriage, and that the children of the Duke of
Montpensier would accordingly inherit the
Spanich throne. His calculation has proved
erroneous every way. Ho himself died in exile.
and fcr more than twenty years rone of •his
family have seen their native country. Isabella
11. has a number of children, and yet the old
King's principal end will be essentially gained
when, Montpeneier himself puts on the crown of
Spain, with a reasonable chance, as things go, of
'transmitting it to his posterity. —N. Y• Sun.
