      It is a bad sign in Spanish affairs when telegrams take four days to travel their from eventual Madrid insertion to London in , the and when little to notes the accompany effect that they have been " delayed * in transmission newspapers . " , Such mechanical explanation , shortcoming though no doubt on the intended part of to the bear telegrap reference h itself to some is very suggestive of a hostile occupation 6 f the line of route , , cut wires and uprooted posts , together with such other measures which now-a-days characterise civilised warfare . The British interest in the affairs of Spain is just now on the wane ; and although the most critical position since the expulsion of Queen Isabella has now arrived , we scarcely bestir ourselves to discuss the probable course events will take . But we protest against injury to the telegraph lines . We have ourselves for the most part a right constructed to a voice them in the , and matter probabl ; and y pai we d for call them on , all so parties we have in Spain to unite in taking care of property which , if once destroyed , will not be hurriedly replaced .

      Has or has not the Amsterdam Universal Exhibition been a failure ? It certainly has not succeeded in arousing either the curiosity or the enthusiasm of this country , for beyond some occasional paragraphs in the London papers , announcing first has that been the Exhibition closedwe had have been heard opened nothing , and about more it . recentl We have y that been it told that a lecture , , now in course of delivery , by Professor ject Pepper ; but , at as the it is Polytechnic mysteriousl , y has announced some connection as a lecture with the on sub the - point " Tentoonstelling is quite clear , " , we that cannot the days vouch of for Universal the fact . Exhibitions However , one are over . The last Paris venture , had it not been for its semitheatrical character and its Cremorne-like arrangements , would scarcely have lasted out its season , and as it was -we believe it did not pay . We trust that our Dutch friends have incurred no serious loss in . their speculation ; but with the experience of other nations another before half-century them , or they so almost perhaps deserve an Universal to have Exhibition done so . will In be properly appreciated ; but at present European sight-seers require some rest .
