but imperfectly known as yet, have pro duced terrible consternation in Madrid. Horrors akin to those of the Commune of Paris have been committed there, and all Spain is aghast at the news. It appears that a Council or Commission of the International of Spain reside in Alcoy, who a; c in dissidence with the rest of i the organisation of thst body. They refuse to recognise the acconlo of the late Congress of the International held in September last at the Hague, or those of the General Council of New York. A tier, with more or less suc cess, having provoked strikes amongst the working men of Andalusia, Valencia, and Barcelona, the Internationalists resolved to try Alcoy, whose industrial population was earning good wages, and living very comfort ably. Their arguments soon took effect. A few days ago. three or four French, two Catalan, and two Valencian Internationalists arrived in the city, and entered on so active a propaganda that the result was soon! seen; —iirst in a partial .and then in a general strike. The demand was fifty per cent, ex tra pay, two hours less labour, and other things -such as an assessment of the value of the companies' rooms, etc., and a'depart ment of 25 per cent, of the said value and profits amongst the workmen. Not content ■with this, the strikers sent deputies round the city, urging the male and female servants to leave their employs, the bakers to stop kneading bread, and even the barbers to cease shaving. Menaces of most ferocious nature were used in all cases of hesitation or refusal. A general meeting of the stikers was held in the Bull Ring. Violent speeches were made, and the working-men told, they were the strongest, and had right on their side. They were also told that arms in abundance were ready for them, and a resolve to resort to an armed struggle was carried by acclamation. Groups soon after went through the streets menacing everybody. Some of these were heard to say, "By Saturday we shall have-many heads off, many factories burned, and illuminations in all the balconies !" The rioters, to the num ber of SOoO or 9000, next, required that the Ayuntamiento should resign within three hours. The answer was a refusal on the part of the Alcalde and Councillors, who retired to the Town Hall, together with some twelve to fifteen Civil Guards and a few private friends. The mob attacked the building, which was gallantly defended for some hours; but what could so few do against so many ? The doors were at last forced and an entrance effected. The defenders were seized, stripped, and submittedtoallkindsof mutilation. Then they were taken one by one to the balconies, and their names called out singly to the crowd below, with the question, " "Will you have him alive or dead ?" If the mob cried " Alive !" the unfortunate being was thrown down to them, and received on the tops of bayonets, and quickly riddled through with dagger thrusts or' with balls. If the mob said, "Dead!" lie was killed first, and then thrown down. The young lieutenant of Civil Guard had his head' cut off and ex hibited on a lance. One councillor- was dipped in petroleum, and then set on fire. Such are. the horrible details as yet only received by the mouth of fugitives who escaped to Alicante and other places. Heaven grant they may prove exaggerated. To judge what passed to-day ift the Cortes, they must be too true/ . ; u....

INQUEST ON THE LATE FIRE.

Ebenezer Cardno deposed that he was book-keeper to Mr Macfarlane, and on the evening of the:l4th of the present month ho loft the premises at six o'clock, and was the last person who left, and he. was careful to lock (.he doors. There were cotton, rope, and flax stored in the warehouse. H^ could form no idea as to the cause of the iire. . . :,,•; 'John Ward, agent, gave similar evidence, and 'stated that the stock was insured for £8,000 in the New Zealand Insurance Com pany. The value of the stock was £8,900. Donald Maclean, a worltmnn, in the employ of Henderson and' Macfarlane, simply gave evidence that he had secured the door lead ing into J. S. Macfarlane's premises before leaving on the evening of the 14th inst. John Sangster Macfarlane deposed that the loss lq, him was at least £1,000..,, He did not believe that the fire was accidental, but the work of an incendary. •, v ! I .■■:<■-, George Daniels, night watchman, observed the names bursting through the roof of the store about 12.20. He had seen a man staggering from that direction some time be fore, but he could not see how the man was dressed or who he was ; but lie was sure he was "tight." He immediately blew his watchman's whistle with all his might, and then ran as fast as possible and rang the In surance fire-bell.

Sergeant - Major Pardy and Constable Gordon having given evidence, Mr Inspector Broham stated that he had other witnesses which he could call if the jury wished to prove that the fire originated in Mr J. S. Macfarlane's premises. The jury considered that such a course was unnecessary. Mr Joy then addressed the jury on tho evidence which had been adduced, and thought there could be but oiie' opinion in relation to the fire—that it proceeded from gross carelessnes, or was wilfully set on fire. He recommended an open ycrdipt. The jury returned a verdict'that the late fire originated on the premises of J. S. Mats farlane, but from what cause there was no evidence to show. '' '' f •<:.</:

This admirable Machine is the most perfect Lock stitch Machine yet invented. It is so simple that the most inexperießced can operate it without any previous instruction, while it is incapable of derange ment by ordinary use. The range of application is practically unlimited ; anything that can be worn or require stitching in a house can bo executed on this Machine. The tension rarely requires regulating. From nnifilin to dressed calico, woollen cloth, or even leather may be sown without change of needle or cotton, or alteration of tension The work is easily guided by one hand, while the other is employed in turning it. When fixed on a stand it can bo operated by hand or foot at pleasure, and it is then as oilicient as the most costly treadle machine. Besides all kinds of (domestic use, It can be applied to many varieties of manufacturing use, such as dress-making, niantle makirg, stay-making, and tailoring. ENGLAND'S QUEKN. This remarkable Machine presents some entirely nej,v features never before realised in a Sewing Machine, and making it more extensively useful and more varied in its application than any other Sewing Machine whatever, whether hand or treadle. In its application to pit in sewing of every kind it exactly - resembles the Princess of Wales, but it it can be instantly changed without stopping the Machine to herring-bone stitching and to overseaming. This is effected by Hiinply turning a screw, and the width itnjl length of the stitch are regulated at pleasure. The arrangement permits of the overseaming ov heiring-boinng.of liny fabric whatever, and will be foiind of immense value 5n tho manufacture of children's clothing and 'in ornamental work.
