    It is quite obvious that Spain is terribly enraged with the , Yankees . Talk of war is rife in the streets of Madrid . Reinforcements are to be sent out forthwith ; and the steam navy increased . The temper of the people may be imagined from the fact that the Ministerial organ , the Ordcn , intimates that it is intended to adopt a very energetic course of action towards the United States , with respect to this subject , both as regards the enlistments allowed to go on there , and the insults offered to the Spanish consul at New Orleans . It says on the latter subject : —

    " If the invaders of Cuba have been exterminated with valour , the ill conduct of the dwellers of New Orleans shall be equally repressed . There is too much patriotism in tho blood of the Spanish people , there is too much tact in the thoughts of the advisers of their Queen , there is too much right iu all the acts that circumHtanccs prescribe , for us not to expect a moral victory , in whatever reclamations are undertaken , that they may be a worthy successor of the material victory obtained by the army and the faithful islanders . There ia not a single humiliation in our hiatory of twelve centuries , nor 6 hall there be one in the history of the nineteenth century . Let tho ambitious traflickers of North America thus understand it . "

    Public meetings were wuggented both by the lipoca and the Nucion , aa a means ot expressing in u striking fashion the prevailing feeling . The stars and the stripes may float in tho bay of Cadiz yet ! The Iivincmcnt , having been suspended for a month , and having four of its editorial staff in prison , ceased to appear on the 19 th instant . Hut to fill the chasms in the ranks of the Democracy Holdiers are never wanting . In the course of twenty-four hours Auguste Vacqueri 6 had obtuined 24 ^ 000 francs , deposited the

    caution money at tho 1 reasury , organized a Htuff of editor ** , arranged for type , printers , paper , and publisher , and , notwithstanding every conceivableobntaele thrown , in his way by tlie Government oilicial , lie with inconceivable rapidity got through nil the neeessury prulirninury urrungemcntH fur a now paper . It appeared on the evening of the day on which ( he Evenitment ujas suppressed , under the striking title of the " Avbtemvntdu I'mtple "—or , " AccissitmofthePeople . ' " Yea ; in 1862 , .

    The Voss Gazette , under date of Hanover , 11 th , says : — ' It is said that the police have found compromising letters from London , but without a post mark , at the house of a leather merchant and the agent of the benefit fund for the refugees , -who have not been aj ) le in a satisfactory manner to account for the reception of them . It was this circumstance which excited suspicions against the courier Feise , and led to bis arrest . Letters were found on him which compromised several persons . " M . le Docteur V 6 ron publishes every now and again a kind of essay called " Les Demenagemens Politique , " in the Constitutionnel . His latest contained a dissection of one of his old friends , Duvergier de Hauranne . Take a specimen : —

    " Yon do not know M . Duvergier de Hauranne , " he says " You never were in the Government , or in opposition with him . He is the man who ascends your staircase the oftenest ; who puts your bells out of order ; who wears out your carpet ; who thrusts his feet into your slippers ; who interrupts you by entering your apartment when you are most occupied , and without being announced . When you are just sitting at table , in he comes ; when you are going to bed , there he is ; when you awake in the morning , the first face you behold is his ! "

    The Local Committee of the Great Exhibition at Bolton met on the 17 th , Mr . Robert Heywood in the chair , and passed a series of resolutions addressed to the Royal Commissioners . They propose that a column and statue should be erected to Prince Albert on the site of the Crystal Palace , in bronze or other metal , and in civic costume ; that , supposing the building is removed , so much of its materials may be bought as will sufHce to erect an edifice for the reception of all descriptions of records of the Exposition , to be opened free to the public ; and that a monolithic block of granite be set up at each corner of the present site of the Crystal Palace , to mark that site and its dimensions , inscribed with the fullest information of the rise , progress , and success of the

    Exposition itself . The event of the day ' s racing yesterday at Doneaster was the Cup race . Seven horses started . The betting was even on the Maid of Masham , and 5 to 2 against The Ban and Black Doctor . Lough Bawn took the lead at starting , and at the stand was leading about twenty lengths , followed by Vatican , Mrs . Birch , and Maid of Masham , the Black Doctor sixth , and The Ban last . They travelled in this order at a strong pace to the hill , where the running was taken up by Vatican , who went on with it , having the Maid of Masham and Mrs . Birch in his track to the bend . Maid of Masham . then went in advance , waited on by the Black Doctor and The Ban , who caught her at the distance , and went on singled out to

    the end , The Ban winning easily by two lengths , Maid of Masham , who broke down , a bad third . Run in four minutes forty-one seconds . The Ban carried seven stone , and was ridden by Arnold . On returning to scale , the trainer of the Black Doctor objected to the winner , on the ground that Sir Joseph Hawley ran two horses in the race ( Vatican , who ran as Sir Joseph Hawley ' s property in the £ 70 Plate , was stated to have been sold to Mr . Morris before this race was run , and ran in his colours ) . The case had not been gone into when we leftDoncaster . Thp L , adv Franklin , commanded by Captain Penny ,

    arrived at Woolwich on the afternoon of the 18 th , and was brought up at moorings alongside the Salsette receiving ship , opposite the dockyard , and the Sophia , her sister vessel , is daily expected at that port . The Lady Franklin has come home in excellent condition , with ao healthy and robust a crew as ever sailed in any region , and without a single complaint among the men on board , except that they cannot now eat so much meat as they used to do , their appetites having greatly abated since they left the Orkneys for Woolwich . She brings home some relics of the Arctic expedition found at Cape lteilly . Mr . Francis Field , a cashier in the Bank of England , while crossing PrinceVstreet , towards Threadneedlestreet , wasknocked down yesterday by the hoTses attached to a heavily-laden waggon , and before the driver could atop the vehicle the near wheels passed over his right leg , and afterwards across his loins . Several of the foot passengers who witnessed the accident ran to him and raised him up , but he was found to be quite insensible , and most fearfully injured . No hopes are entertained of his recovery . Cole , the policeman charged with murdering Cogan in Plumptree-court , Shoe-lane , has been acquitted at tho Central Criminal Court , before Mr . Justice Talfourd . The trial was any thing but satisfactory to the judge , and it certainly will not quiet the public .

    A letter appears in La Pre . ssa , stating that a rumour had reached Hamburgh that it wan intended to suppress the Free Towns , Hamburgh , Bremen , and Lubcck , by a resolution of the Germanic Diet at Frunkfort , and that tho infamous suppression of the Republic at Cracow , by the Austrians , in 1846 , was cited as a precedent . We understand that while ribbons mid atarn lire falling in showers from authorities , Republican and Absolute , the Sultan haa abolished orders in diamonds . He is a . brave fellow ; but we have yet to learn whether hnglumi , in stipulating for the liberation of KohhuUi , has also stipulated for h i irrevocable exile to Ainrncu .

    Gossip rumour , diplomatically availing herself of the columns of the Sherbome Journal , will "have it that Lord Palmerston is to be invited to dine with the electors of Tiverton , and that , in an after-dinner speech , he is to defend Ministers , explain their programme for " next session , " electrify the public with all sorts of liberalisms . In 1841 , the cause of Free-trade fell into the hands of Lord Palmerston , Protectionists : it seems likely that , in 1852 , Lord

    John Russell will rely for his fighting general upon Palmerston , the " Liberal" Minister of Tory convictions ! Representations have been made to Lord Palmerston by the Manchester Commercial Association respecting the unsatisfactory state of our relations with Brazil , and requesting immediate inquiry into the alleged grievances . They held a meeting on Thursday and agreed to a letter to be addressed to Lord Palmerston , the pith of which is contained in the following paragraph : — . ... ...

    " The association learns that feelings of the greatest exasperation against the British Government prevail in the Brazilian Legislature , and amongst the people at large , in consequence of certain alleged acts of injustice inflicted by our cruisers upon subjects of that State , by the seizure and destruction of their shipping engaged in legitimate commerce , and by the confiscation of their cargoes without due legal investigation ; and that a law had been passed by a majority of 79 to 15 in the Lower House of Representatives , empowering the Government to place the coasting trade under the flag of some more powerful nation ; a mode of proceeding which , it is feared , maybe still further extended , to the incalculable injury of British commerce , should a similar course of what they assert to be unprovoked aggression on the part of Great Britain be any longer persevered in .
