SPAIN.

At the moment of going to press, says the Nouvellisle de Marseilles, the following important intelligence had reached us. An Auitrain division is reported to have violated the Swiss territory, by marching through the Canton of Grisous to attack the Piedmonteae army in the rear. The seige of Beschierr is actively carried on. General DurandH has retired to Brenta. The Motiilevr mentions the occurrence of a fearful outbreak at Koine, on the lit May, and a threat of the people to form a Provisional Government, on account of the Pope's refusal to declare war with Austria.

,On the 14th May a royal decree appeared in the Madrid Government Gazette depriving Don Enrique of all his honours and digni'aries as Infdnt of Spain. The Morning Chronicle of the 20th May says : " We lia^e received Madrid journals of the 13th instant. The " Espana," with reference to the position of the Bank and the monetary criiis, observes, that the measures hitherto adopted to relieve the situation ot the bank have proved inefficacious and that the loss of its note* continue the same, the discount being less than 10 per cent. It calls for a clear and full exposition of the real itate of the bank. The 3 per cents, closed Mt2l^ cash, and were 21 13-lSf buyers; 22 sellers after the close. Five per centi., 13& buyers, 14 sellers ; patsive debt, b$ buyers, 6 sellers; coupons., 85 jelleri; bank shares, 80 buyers.

K.E- APPEARANCE OF JENNY LIND AT HER Majesty's Theatre.— The great evening of the season has " come off," and the result has been moit brilliant. The 4th of May, 1847, the debut of Mdlle. Jenny Lind, has made a noble ann.versary in her re-appearai cc. Jenny Lind, on her fint entrance, was greeted with a tumult of applause from a bouse crowded in every part. Every note of her recitative was listened to as the repetition of a welcome sound. She was in excellent voice ; one could easy fancy that the notes were more full and rich than last season. At the end of the lint scene, Mdlle. Lind was twice called. It was then discovered by the body of the audience that Her Majesty was in the Royal box. Some calls for " God save the Queen," uttered at iutervala t>y those wlio were aware

of the circumstance, first excitedthe general attention ; and when her Majesty came forward and bowed, the greetings of the crowded house were combined into one rast thunder of welcome. The anthem was demanded with ihouts and followed with cheers, and it is imposa sible to conceive a demonstration of loyalty more enthusiastic. It is scarcely necessary to state that Her Majesty's accouchment and the memorable 10th of April had occurred since her last previous appearance in public. — limes. Alloway Corn Milli, near Ayr, were totally consumed by fire. It is with deep regret, says the Glasgow Herald, we announce the suspension of payments of the old-estab-lished and highly respectable house of Messrs. Eccles, Burnley, and Company, and William and James Eccles and Company, "West India merchants, of this city. The liabilities are said to be upwards of but several sums due to heirs of deceased partners are supposed to be included. The Duke de Montpensier hai ordered a Madrid jeweller to dismount a sword, of which the hilt it set with jewels that are said to be worth £300,000. This sword belonged to Napoleon, and the Duke found meani to save it when the Tuilertes were seized by the Parisians. The Duke de Mont" «eniier is said to have told General Narvaez that his father would hare been upon the throne of France, if he Lad taken the advice of his family.
