Of course, in the event of collision at home, the Spanish. Provisional Gnvr‘rn ment must be embnrl'aesed by the (lllh'ln insurrection, which seems to grmlnnllv gain ground. The sending of 20,000 troops to a distant colony. whnn every man is neods'd at home. is a serious mnfâ€" ter. To hold Cuba hv force is to weak- en force elsewhere. To withdraw the, soldiers is f0 loose the island instzntlvl and that will be regarded as a nntinna humiliation. Those are Vhe horns of tho dilemma, between which the Government w1ll find itself should civil war be renewâ€" ed in Spain. 0 _...,~.. luv. ... ulAv LAlull u ulu \\’Asmx(;'roN.Feb. 16.â€"-â€"In the Senate,the - .

Although action was not taken, the falling out?" ' Well, the republic-ms, being defeated are, it is said, restive almost to the point of civil war. Nothing could be more unfortunate than such an event follow- ing the elections. Rightly considered, their defeat is not absolute in efl'ect ; it leaves them a respectable vote in the Cortes. It is not a bad thingsomctimes that a party of progress is also that of the opposition. Nor could the republi- cans have had reasonable cause to hope for a larger representation. If they are wise they will ‘not precipitate bloodshed which can lead to but one endâ€"defeat. The army and navy are strong, even leaving the Cuban struggle out of’ the} calculation. They were organized last year upon some such bases as those of; France. A regular syst m of conscrin- l tion was established bv which 200,000 ‘ are kept under arms. We believe that the *ctual land t'orces now stand about 155 000 men ot'all arms. The fleet ac cording to a recenth puh‘ished statement consists of 90 ships mo war of various rating, including six British built iron clads. Lamentable indeed would it be if such military and naval force were di rected against any section of the Spanish people. Hunt's Hair Gloss prevents the Hair from falling out. And the army is monarchist. This fact maybe accepted without question. There may be discussions upon a dieta- torship of’ Espartero 0r Prim, or a tem porary directorate, but they all mean the restoration of the throne and that as practicable. Not, be it observed, that such a vicious personage as the ex-Qneen would be tolerated. But the army and the progressistas, whilst they insist upon reforms, do not intend to\ seek them through a republic. We class these forces togerher because as each repre» sents the conservative intelligence of Spain, they naturally assimilate in re spect to their politic-«l idea. It need be no matter of surprise that the Spanish republicans were defeated in the Cortes elections just concluded. From the first it has been evident that while the Spanish people entered upon the revolution for the sake of liberty and the removal of an odious Queen,it would be unwise to assume that they were preâ€" pared at once for a republic. That may come some day,and probably will. Mean- while an immense advance was being made. Perhaps no Provisional Govern- ment ever addressed itself so immediate- ly to the removal of abuses,or so prompt- ly showed to the people and the world that it was actuated by progessive ideas. The fact that this course was adopted is at once a proof of the general integrity of the revolutionary leaders, and a tri. bute to the growing intelligence of the Spanish people. _There have been various estimates of the relative strength of the monarchists and republicans. Broadly statedY the Cortes will consist of 350 members, in» elusive of the colonial deputies, yet to be heard of, if indeed they ever reach Madrid. Of this number, one third, at; the most liberal computation, are in favor of a republic. The remainder whether progressistas, those in favor of a liberal reformed constitutional govern- ment, or partisans of either of the named aspirants to the throne, are all monar- chists This result was to be expected and. so fur from disappointing, Contains hopeful features when the circumstances 0f1l78 case are duly considered.” Here was a country ruled absolutely by three powersâ€"the church, the crown, the army. The struggles which are the history of Spain for so many years, were struggles for or against ruling or exiled dynasties. They were not to determine how the people should be ruled, but by Whom I The vices, extravaganees, or tyrannies of this or that sovereign was notorious, and in time brought about changes more or less violent in their character. But the system was not questioned by the majority of Spaniards. The padre and soldier and the tax- gatherer' held their Way without much objection, save from the more intelligeu minority. who watched the course oi events in other counties and dreamed ti’ real liberty for their own. The flight ol Isabella was their opportunity, but not their fin‘tl one. The revolutionary junt as expressed the most liberal Sentiments. and with a stroke of the pen abolishe ‘ many of the abuses which were complainâ€" ed of'. The priests were at once shot-n of their power. and the monks deprived of their monasteries, and the army of the oetros relieved of their duties. The conflict as thus inaugurated was aconflict betwe n the new regime of reâ€" form and the eldrule of corrupt and superstitious vested interest. it were folly to under-rate the immense influence of the priesthood alone, and the certain- ty of their labors toward reaction; nor 'tfan it be wondered at that iériiégé’lmin, with popular government at his head. was not éreated,though fitirly f0 be hoped for. Meanwhile, the army remained the the denository of real power, and though permitting and taking the lead of the re- volution. was not likely to relinquish its usual attitude of virtual ruler.

J. H. McCullum, of Aurora, will deliver a lecture in connection with our Mechanics’ Institute, at the Temperance Hall, on Tuesday next, the 23rd, inst, at 7'30 p.111. Subject: “ The Numerals of the Bible.” We have reason to be- lieve that the lecture is one that will be very interesting to all classes and creeds, and hope to see a crowded house. On Thursday, the 11th instant, Wha- len, one of the murderers of the“ Hon. Thomas D’Arcy McGee, expiated his crime on the gallows at Ottawa. He spoke but a few words on the scafâ€" fold; such as they were, they have been suficient to satisfy every body of his; guilt. There is just reason for believâ€" ing that he is not the only one implicat- ed in the foul deed; in fact suspicion strongly points to others, who may yet have an opportunity of clearing them- selves. We hope the authorities will fol- low up the investigation. and bring all the parties concerned to justice. / WHALEN’S EXECUTION. @nrrmpnnhmre. illnrul Etemfi. AUCTION SALES. I remain Yours &c.
