A MOST WONDERFUL DISCOVERY HAS RECENTLY been made by Dr. CURTIS, for the euro of Asthma, Consumption, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and all Lung Complaints, bv Medicated Inhalation. DR. CURTIS'S HY'GE-ANA. or" INHALING HYGEAN VAPOR and CHF.RRY SY'RUP, has accomplished the most wonderful euros of Asthma nnd Consumption In tho City of New York and vicinity for a few months past, ever known to man. It is vroducing nn impression on Dlsenses of the Lungs never leforo witnessed by tho Mcdicnl Profession. See certificates in hands of Agents. The Inhaler ls worn on tho breast, under the linen, without the least inconvenience, the heat of the body being sufficient to evaporate the fluid, supplying the lungs constantly with a healing- and agreeable vapor, passing into all the air-cells and passages of the lungs that cannot possibly be reached by other medicine. Here Is a ease : ASTHMA CURED. Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec, 20th, 1853. For about eight years I have been severely afllicted with the Asthma ; for the last two years I have suffered beyond all my powers nf description ; months at a tiino I have not h'ocn able to sleep In lied, gottlng what rest I could sitting in a ohair. My difficulty of breathing, and my sufferings, were so great at times, that for hours together my friends expected each hour would be my last. During tho past six years I have had the aid and attendance uf some of the most celebrated physicians, but have received no permanent benefit, and but little relief. I at length had the good fortune to procure Dr. Curlli's Hygcana or Inhaling Hygeun Vapor and Cherry Syrup. At the time I first obtained it, I was sutfering under one of my most violent attacks, nnd was in great distress, almost suffocating for want of breath. Iu less than tea minutes from the time I applied tlie Inhaler to ny stomach, and took a teaspoonful of the Cherry Syrup, I was relieved in a greut measure from tlie difficulty of breathing, and had a comfortable UV'ht. I have since oontiuued It with the greatest possible benefit, and am now comparatively well. God only knows the amount of suffering this medicine has relieved me from. My ad4ce to tho suffering is tiiv it. M.tltUARCT Eaxtun. CONSUMPTION CURED. Nsw York, Pec. 27th, 1853. I came to New York In tho ship Telegraph j my native place is St. John's, New Brunswick ; when I reached this city my health was very poor ; had a very bad cough, raised a good deal of matter, which was frequently mixed nuu uiuuu ; uuu pain in my let t sine, anu was very weak and emaciated. My (riunr's and nhysician pronounced my case Consumption, and beyond the reach cf medicine. 'I necidently beard of Dr. Cartis's Hygcana, or Inhaling Vaor aud Cherry Syrup, and obtained a package, which I vorily believe was tho means of saving my life. Soon after wearing the Inhaler, I found It relieved the pressure on my lungs, and after a while the disease made its appearance upon the surfaco under the Inhaler. I took the Chorry Syrup as directed, and conlinued to do so, my cough gradually growing better, until it Inlirely left me, nnd I now consider myself cured. I still wear the luhn-lcr, as the use of It is ratlutr pleasant, and believing it strengthening and purifying to tlie luugi, 1 feel unwilling at present to dispense with it. JOHN WOOD.

Mailt ujmn the dimintdian of inhabitants in a few Spanirh cities. State nf agriculture., the industrial arts, dr. Relitii'ius. pditieal and moral condition of the country. Spain otters one of the most curious and instructive spectacles of the ago. Heboid a coun try overflowing with nature's richest gifts, a very fertile soil, nn excellent climatf, an admirable geographical position, rich mines of every kind, her ports finely situated, in a word, the elements of great prosperity ; nud notwithstanding all this, she is poor and feeble, with no internal prosperity and no influence upon the world vuthuut. She seems to be condemned to an irremediable decline, while other countries, the United States, England, Russia itself, are growing in power and weolth. Whence comes this? Why urc the Spaniards constantly declining while other nations are advancing? Is it the fault of the race which inhabits the peninsula? No; it is a nation naturally energetic and industrious. Is it the fault of circumstances? lint circumstances depend upon men, and no na tion is fatally condemned to perish. The chief cause of this abasement must be looked for else where. It is in the religion a backward, superstitious religion which has perverted the intelligence, enervated the character, depressed the activity, aud destroyed the fortunes of the noble children of Iberia. If Spain had adopted the Protestant faith iu the sixteenth century uuder the reign oi cnaries v., sue would perhaps be to-day the first and most flourishing country of the globe ; but sho has remained bowed beneath the yoke of inquisitions, priests aud monks, and has fallen to the lowest grade of civilized nations. Unhappy Spaniards ! how much are they to be pitied I A journal of Madrid, remarkable for its liberal spirit, and which bas often been condemned by the tribunals lor its independent ideas, the Ctumor Publico, lately contained some curious statistical information concerning the peninsula. I t-ball analyze it, adding a few facts drawn from dill'erent sources no less authentic. Under the Roman domination, the Iberian peninsula, that is to say, Spain and Portugal cuuibincd, numbered about -10 million inhabi tants, or nearly bbo inhabitants to the square mile. It is the proportion which now exists in the north of 1'rauce and Belgium, comparatively the most tmcKiy peopled countries oi ivurope. lu aucient times the agricultural products were sufficient not only for the consumption of the Iberians, but also of the Romans. Spain was an abundant storehouse for Italy. When the V isigoths, nud alter them the .Moors or Saracens, governed the peninsula, the population increased to 23 or 30 million souls. To-day it has fallen to 13 or 14 million; in other words, it is only oue third of the number of inhabitants which Iberia possessed iu the time of the Romans. There are provinces, that of Estramadvra, for example, which resemble a vast desert, al though situate uuder a climate most favorable for the increase of the human race, and where the soil produces tho richest harvests, almost without labor. Whence comes this gradual depopulation? I have already said, it proceeds chiefly from Po pery, the Inquisition witn its atrocious laws have exterminated, banished, or incarcerated on innumerable multitude of individuals. Moreover, the celibacy of tho priests, monks and nuns, has exerted a disastrous influence. Finally the number of emigrants to foreign countries has not been small, because no one likes to place himself under such a degrading despotism as the priestly body. what would curistoptier ooiumous and ins he roic companions say, if, on returning to the earth, they could contemplate tne leebiencssand desolation of their couutry? What would they say if they could see the briars and parasitical weeds covering those vast domains formerly so distinguished for prodigious fertility? When the city ot Grenada was taken in 14B7 by the Moor3, it contained 400,000 inhabitants. of whom 60,000 carried artna. A long time af terward this city numbered LUU,UUU; it has now but 00,000. The kingdom ol Urenada had a population of three million of individuals, or lour hundred inhabitants to the square mile. There were 32 cities of the firt class nud 87 of the cecond. All this prosperity has disappeared. The city of Malaga, in the 17th century, had 80,000 inhabitants; to-day it numbers but 60,000. Medina del Campo, which in the seventeenth century had 00,000 souls, has but G,000 soula at the present time. Merida, which at the same epoch numbered 40,000 inhabitants, has now but 5,000. Segovia, which in 1725 contained 5,000 families, contains now hut 2,000. Seville had, in the seventeenth century, almost 300,000 inhabitants, of whom 130,000 were engaged in the silk manufactories ; to-day the population of that city has fallen to 10,000 souls. Toledo, the scat of tho Innuisition aud of the archbishop, which in tho fifteenth century had 200,000 inhabitants, at present numbers 15,000. Valencia, and the adjacent cantons, which, in the begin ning of the seventeenth century had a popula tion ot ooo,uou souls, scarcely numbers 00,000 at the present time. It is the same with the other cities and parishes. Yon will find in every part of Spain, abandoned villages, half-ruin ed towns, and everywhere the appearance of solitude and death, une would say that an inexorable decree from heaven had condemned this people to march downward to its tomb. Agriculture is in a miserable condition. Modern inventions which have increased tenfold tha products of the soil, have never penetrated to the peninsula. The peasants still cultivate the earth as did their fathers amid the barbarism of the middle ages. If the inhabitants were more intelligent and industrious, they could give an incalculable value to landed property ; for besides the various grains, tho vine, the mulberry, the citron, the orange, the cotton plant, thesugar-cane, &e., grow and ripen in the fields ; but tlie apathetio ignorance in which the population of the open country is plunged checks all progress, and the peninsula scarcely produoes corn enough for its own consumption in the good seasons. Tho priests have wished only to secure a credulous aud decile natiou. There are no schools, no means of instruction in the majority of the villages. Can it be surprising that everything remains stationary or is on the decline ? The means of communication arc very little advnnoed. The emperor Charles V. commenced the construction of a canal destined to unite the Mediterranean to the Ocean ; its length was to be 4'?0 miles ; but during three centuries ouly CO miles have been completed. Ithas apparent- ly seemed more useful to fill the churches with . precious stones and golden ornaments than to . windows to be open wide for the admission of dig canals 1 In this respect, the Chinese them-1 air. While the bitting and dining rooms of bis selves are superior to tho Spaniards.

The Spaniards could extract silver, mercury, lead, iron, Ac, iu immense quantities: but they do rot. Manufactures nourished under the Moors, and lmru away the balm of excellence in all the markets of Europe. liivj the total expulsion of these Mui-sulmen, the monopoly of tho government extending over a largo number of important articles, the system of excessive taxation, and other like causes, have exhausted this source of public prosperity. . . Industry is now concentrated in Barcelona, and the province of Catalonia, peopled by Eng- li-h or French manufacturers. The population employed in manufactures is from COO to 600,- 000 individuals, that is to ay, it docs not form the twenty-fifth part of the nation. On the other hand, there arc in the peninsula, 300,000 vagabond, beggars, smugglers, and that kind of people who live in idleness, or by dishonest nieniiH. What country could prosper under such conditions? . The navy is almost nothing. The whole fleet consists of a few poorly equipped vessels which transmit the orders of the metropolis to the colonies. If Spain had been capable of arming a squadron she would have claimed the honor of figuring in the Eastern war, since the interests of Roman Catholicism are somewhat implicated therein; but 8he has been constrained to yield her place to France and England. The religious condition of the Peninsula is sad. Among the enlightened and elevated classes, there is no religion; they disbelieve in and scorn all popish forms. The lower classes are very superstitious. To give you an idea of the ruling opinions in Spain, I shall relate, that the queen Isabella having made a vow, I know not on what occasion, attended one of the churches of Madrid, accompanied by a numerous train, in order to place on the neck of an image of the Virgin the decoration of the order of the golden fleece 1 She therefore brought a necklace to which was attached a golden sheep, and pompously adorned the image of the Virgin with this decoration. The priests performed this extravagant ceremony with imperturbable gravity; the ministers of state aud the generals took part in it, as a duty, but internally scorned the disgust- ing farce; aud the populace participated in it with puerile devotion. Who', a religion 1 and what a people ! The secular and regular clergy included, some years ago, more than 200,000 individuals aud owned one fourth of the lands of the country. Since then, the number of priests, monks, mi us, &c, has diminished, and a portion of the ecclesiastical property bas been sold for the beuctit of the public treasury. The title tax has also been abolished. Notwithstanding these reforms, the monks and priests still retaiu enormous revenues, aud their wealth contributes to the impoverishment of the nation. I shall say but little concerning the political and moral condition of the peninsula, because 1 have frequently spoken of it in my preceding letters. The Coiiftitution exists upon paper but not in fact. Not oue budget has been regularly presented since me establishment ot tne parliamentary government. The Senate and the Chamber of Jjiputicn are convoked or dissolved according to the good pleasure of the court and the ministry. Several members of the legislative bodies have recently been arbitrarily exiled or imprisoned, and the only reason was that their votes did not suit the awarders of the power. At the present time the Spanish parliament is dissolved, and the government arranges everything without control. A military tumult has taken place at Seville, and an insurrection of working men at Barcelona. Both these move ments were repressed by physical force ; but who knows what may happen to-morrow t Pro- nvneiamenfos, or revolutions, abound In this unhappy country. As to the morality ot tne Spaniards, it is sufficient to remember what is tlie conduct of the queen Isabella. Acts, openly committed, which are too disgraceful to place before modest readers. The priests tolerate all this without reproof. The queen Isabella practises regularly the Popish forms, which is all they ask for. Let us await the judgment of God upon this perverted dynasty and degenerate nation. Oh 1 if the Spaniards could embrace the Christian truth, and enter the new road 1 Cut the post of tins nation yields us but little hope of her future. A Scene irom Real LUe. '.V Oman's Love. KToni the St. Louis Republican. ' We saw lust evening an apt illustration of the affection of woman. A poor inebriated wretch had been taken to the calaboose. His conduct in the street and after he was placed in the cell, was of such violent character that it became uec- psvv tr linnAnttir Lim. Tht rlomnn rnm hnrl possession of his soul, and he rave vent to his ravings in currcu so profane as to shock the senses of his follow prisoners, ono of whom, In the same cell, at Lis own solicitation, was placed in a separate apartment. A woman appeared at the cratmir. and in her hands she had a rude tray, upon which were 'placed some slices Uf bread, fresh from the hearthstone, and other lit tle delicacies tor her erring husband. She stood at the bor gazing intently into the gloom where her manacled companion wildly rnved. Her voice was low and soft, ns chc called his name, its utterance was as plaintive as the melody of a fond and crushed spirit. ' The tears streamed from her eyes, and there. in the dark prison house, the abode of tho most wretched and depraved, the tones of her voice found their way into that wicked man's heart, and he knelt iu sorrow and in silence before his young and injured wife, while his heart found relief in tears such as only a man can weep. inotigu tne iron stui uounti his wrist, he placed his hands, with their heavy insignia of degra dation, commingiy and aiiectionatcly upon the brow of his fair companion and exclaimed, Katy, I will be a better man." There, upon a rude seat, she spread the humble meal which she had prepared with her own hands, and after ho had finished she rose to depart, bidding him be cairn ana resigned. lor her sake, with the assurance that she would bring a friend to go on his bond, and that she would return and take him home. And she left him. a stronir man. with his head drooping upon his breast, a very coward, humiliated before the weak aud tender being whoso presence and affection had stilled tho angry passion of his soul True to the instincts of her love and promise, she did return with one wno went on his bond for his appearance next morning, and with his hand clasped in that of his lovely wife, she led him away a penitent and, we trust, a better man. There were those who laughed, as that pale, meek woman bore off her erring nusuaiui, uut sue needed them not, ana her self-sacrificing heart knew or cared for nothing in its holy and heaven-born instincts, but to , preserve aud protect him whom she loved with all the devotion of a wile and woman. How to e rid of Files. It was on a subject of general interest that Mr. Snence wrote, when he communicated ta the Entomological Society the account of a mode employed by a friend of his in Florence to remove this drawback to the comfort qf existence. He tells us that his curiosity was greatly excited on being told by a gentleman residing in the neighborhood of that city, that for two or three years be bad entirely succeeded in excludinii Hies from his apartments, thoubh allowing tW- oio urcaa oi venturing across tne mem work, these insects were cficctually excluded. It is necessary to state, that in order for this plan to succeed, it is essential that the light enter the room on one side only, for if there be an opposite side-window, tho Hies pass through the net without fcrtiplc. The fact of these insects being excluded by the simple means above stated (when the room is lighted from one side only), has been repeatedly noticed and confirmed. Nor are we dependent only on accounts of this fact ns received from a foreign couutry ; it has been noticed and confirmed also by observers in England. " Dr. Stanley gives an account, In the " Transactions of tho Entomological Society," of some experiments entered on by him, in order to the satisfactory investigation of this singular discovery.

A MOST WONDERFUL DISCOVERY HAS RECENTLY been made by Dr. CURTIS, for the euro of Asthma, Consumption, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and all Lung Complaints, bv Medicated Inhalation. DR. CURTIS'S HY'GE-ANA. or" INHALING HYGEAN VAPOR and CHF.RRY SY'RUP, has accomplished the most wonderful euros of Asthma nnd Consumption In tho City of New York and vicinity for a few months past, ever known to man. It is vroducing nn impression on Dlsenses of the Lungs never leforo witnessed by tho Mcdicnl Profession. See certificates in hands of Agents. The Inhaler ls worn on tho breast, under the linen, without the least inconvenience, the heat of the body being sufficient to evaporate the fluid, supplying the lungs constantly with a healing- and agreeable vapor, passing into all the air-cells and passages of the lungs that cannot possibly be reached by other medicine. Here Is a ease : ASTHMA CURED. Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec, 20th, 1853. For about eight years I have been severely afllicted with the Asthma ; for the last two years I have suffered beyond all my powers nf description ; months at a tiino I have not h'ocn able to sleep In lied, gottlng what rest I could sitting in a ohair. My difficulty of breathing, and my sufferings, were so great at times, that for hours together my friends expected each hour would be my last. During tho past six years I have had the aid and attendance uf some of the most celebrated physicians, but have received no permanent benefit, and but little relief. I at length had the good fortune to procure Dr. Curlli's Hygcana or Inhaling Hygeun Vapor and Cherry Syrup. At the time I first obtained it, I was sutfering under one of my most violent attacks, nnd was in great distress, almost suffocating for want of breath. Iu less than tea minutes from the time I applied tlie Inhaler to ny stomach, and took a teaspoonful of the Cherry Syrup, I was relieved in a greut measure from tlie difficulty of breathing, and had a comfortable UV'ht. I have since oontiuued It with the greatest possible benefit, and am now comparatively well. God only knows the amount of suffering this medicine has relieved me from. My ad4ce to tho suffering is tiiv it. M.tltUARCT Eaxtun. CONSUMPTION CURED. Nsw York, Pec. 27th, 1853.

Spain otters one of the most curious and instructive spectacles of the ago. Heboid a coun try overflowing with nature's richest gifts, a very fertile soil, nn excellent climatf, an admirable geographical position, rich mines of every kind, her ports finely situated, in a word, the elements of great prosperity ; nud notwithstanding all this, she is poor and feeble, with no internal prosperity and no influence upon the world vuthuut. She seems to be condemned to an irremediable decline, while other countries, the United States, England, Russia itself, are growing in power and weolth. Whence comes this? Why urc the Spaniards constantly declining while other nations are advancing? Is it the fault of the race which inhabits the peninsula? No; it is a nation naturally energetic and industrious. Is it the fault of circumstances? lint circumstances depend upon men, and no na tion is fatally condemned to perish. The chief cause of this abasement must be looked for else where. It is in the religion a backward, superstitious religion which has perverted the intelligence, enervated the character, depressed the activity, aud destroyed the fortunes of the noble children of Iberia. If Spain had adopted the Protestant faith iu the sixteenth century uuder the reign oi cnaries v., sue would perhaps be to-day the first and most flourishing country of the globe ; but sho has remained bowed beneath the yoke of inquisitions, priests aud monks, and has fallen to the lowest grade of civilized nations. Unhappy Spaniards ! how much are they to be pitied I A journal of Madrid, remarkable for its liberal spirit, and which bas often been condemned by the tribunals lor its independent ideas, the Ctumor Publico, lately contained some curious statistical information concerning the peninsula. I t-ball analyze it, adding a few facts drawn from dill'erent sources no less authentic. Under the Roman domination, the Iberian peninsula, that is to say, Spain and Portugal cuuibincd, numbered about -10 million inhabi tants, or nearly bbo inhabitants to the square mile. It is the proportion which now exists in the north of 1'rauce and Belgium, comparatively the most tmcKiy peopled countries oi ivurope. lu aucient times the agricultural products were sufficient not only for the consumption of the Iberians, but also of the Romans. Spain was an abundant storehouse for Italy. When the V isigoths, nud alter them the .Moors or Saracens, governed the peninsula, the population increased to 23 or 30 million souls. To-day it has fallen to 13 or 14 million; in other words, it is only oue third of the number of inhabitants which Iberia possessed iu the time of the Romans. There are provinces, that of Estramadvra, for example, which resemble a vast desert, al though situate uuder a climate most favorable for the increase of the human race, and where the soil produces tho richest harvests, almost without labor. Whence comes this gradual depopulation? I have already said, it proceeds chiefly from Po pery, the Inquisition witn its atrocious laws have exterminated, banished, or incarcerated on innumerable multitude of individuals. Moreover, the celibacy of tho priests, monks and nuns, has exerted a disastrous influence. Finally the number of emigrants to foreign countries has not been small, because no one likes to place himself under such a degrading despotism as the priestly body. what would curistoptier ooiumous and ins he roic companions say, if, on returning to the earth, they could contemplate tne leebiencssand desolation of their couutry? What would they say if they could see the briars and parasitical weeds covering those vast domains formerly so distinguished for prodigious fertility? When the city ot Grenada was taken in 14B7 by the Moor3, it contained 400,000 inhabitants. of whom 60,000 carried artna. A long time af terward this city numbered LUU,UUU; it has now but 00,000. The kingdom ol Urenada had a population of three million of individuals, or lour hundred inhabitants to the square mile. There were 32 cities of the firt class nud 87 of the cecond. All this prosperity has disappeared. The city of Malaga, in the 17th century, had 80,000 inhabitants; to-day it numbers but 60,000. Medina del Campo, which in the seventeenth century had 00,000 souls, has but G,000 soula at the present time. Merida, which at the same epoch numbered 40,000 inhabitants, has now but 5,000. Segovia, which in 1725 contained 5,000 families, contains now hut 2,000. Seville had, in the seventeenth century, almost 300,000 inhabitants, of whom 130,000 were engaged in the silk manufactories ; to-day the population of that city has fallen to 10,000 souls. Toledo, the scat of tho Innuisition aud of the archbishop, which in tho fifteenth century had 200,000 inhabitants, at present numbers 15,000. Valencia, and the adjacent cantons, which, in the begin ning of the seventeenth century had a popula tion ot ooo,uou souls, scarcely numbers 00,000 at the present time. It is the same with the other cities and parishes. Yon will find in every part of Spain, abandoned villages, half-ruin ed towns, and everywhere the appearance of solitude and death, une would say that an inexorable decree from heaven had condemned this people to march downward to its tomb. Agriculture is in a miserable condition. Modern inventions which have increased tenfold tha products of the soil, have never penetrated to the peninsula. The peasants still cultivate the earth as did their fathers amid the barbarism of the middle ages. If the inhabitants were more intelligent and industrious, they could give an incalculable value to landed property ; for besides the various grains, tho vine, the mulberry, the citron, the orange, the cotton plant, thesugar-cane, &e., grow and ripen in the fields ; but tlie apathetio ignorance in which the population of the open country is plunged checks all progress, and the peninsula scarcely produoes corn enough for its own consumption in the good seasons. Tho priests have wished only to secure a credulous aud decile natiou. There are no schools, no means of instruction in the majority of the villages. Can it be surprising that everything remains stationary or is on the decline ? The means of communication arc very little advnnoed. The emperor Charles V. commenced the construction of a canal destined to unite the Mediterranean to the Ocean ; its length was to be 4'?0 miles ; but during three centuries ouly CO miles have been completed. Ithas apparent- ly seemed more useful to fill the churches with . precious stones and golden ornaments than to . windows to be open wide for the admission of dig canals 1 In this respect, the Chinese them-1 air.

The Spaniards could extract silver, mercury, lead, iron, Ac, iu immense quantities: but they do rot. Manufactures nourished under the Moors, and lmru away the balm of excellence in all the markets of Europe. liivj the total expulsion of these Mui-sulmen, the monopoly of tho government extending over a largo number of important articles, the system of excessive taxation, and other like causes, have exhausted this source of public prosperity. . . Industry is now concentrated in Barcelona, and the province of Catalonia, peopled by Eng- li-h or French manufacturers. The population employed in manufactures is from COO to 600,- 000 individuals, that is to ay, it docs not form the twenty-fifth part of the nation. On the other hand, there arc in the peninsula, 300,000 vagabond, beggars, smugglers, and that kind of people who live in idleness, or by dishonest nieniiH. What country could prosper under such conditions? . The navy is almost nothing. The whole fleet consists of a few poorly equipped vessels which transmit the orders of the metropolis to the colonies. If Spain had been capable of arming a squadron she would have claimed the honor of figuring in the Eastern war, since the interests of Roman Catholicism are somewhat implicated therein; but 8he has been constrained to yield her place to France and England. The religious condition of the Peninsula is sad. Among the enlightened and elevated classes, there is no religion; they disbelieve in and scorn all popish forms. The lower classes are very superstitious. To give you an idea of the ruling opinions in Spain, I shall relate, that the queen Isabella having made a vow, I know not on what occasion, attended one of the churches of Madrid, accompanied by a numerous train, in order to place on the neck of an image of the Virgin the decoration of the order of the golden fleece 1 She therefore brought a necklace to which was attached a golden sheep, and pompously adorned the image of the Virgin with this decoration. The priests performed this extravagant ceremony with imperturbable gravity; the ministers of state aud the generals took part in it, as a duty, but internally scorned the disgust- ing farce; aud the populace participated in it with puerile devotion. Who', a religion 1 and what a people ! The secular and regular clergy included, some years ago, more than 200,000 individuals aud owned one fourth of the lands of the country. Since then, the number of priests, monks, mi us, &c, has diminished, and a portion of the ecclesiastical property bas been sold for the beuctit of the public treasury. The title tax has also been abolished. Notwithstanding these reforms, the monks and priests still retaiu enormous revenues, aud their wealth contributes to the impoverishment of the nation. I shall say but little concerning the political and moral condition of the peninsula, because 1 have frequently spoken of it in my preceding letters. The Coiiftitution exists upon paper but not in fact. Not oue budget has been regularly presented since me establishment ot tne parliamentary government. The Senate and the Chamber of Jjiputicn are convoked or dissolved according to the good pleasure of the court and the ministry. Several members of the legislative bodies have recently been arbitrarily exiled or imprisoned, and the only reason was that their votes did not suit the awarders of the power. At the present time the Spanish parliament is dissolved, and the government arranges everything without control. A military tumult has taken place at Seville, and an insurrection of working men at Barcelona. Both these move ments were repressed by physical force ; but who knows what may happen to-morrow t Pro- nvneiamenfos, or revolutions, abound In this unhappy country. As to the morality ot tne Spaniards, it is sufficient to remember what is tlie conduct of the queen Isabella. Acts, openly committed, which are too disgraceful to place before modest readers. The priests tolerate all this without reproof. The queen Isabella practises regularly the Popish forms, which is all they ask for. Let us await the judgment of God upon this perverted dynasty and degenerate nation. Oh 1 if the Spaniards could embrace the Christian truth, and enter the new road 1 Cut the post of tins nation yields us but little hope of her future. A Scene irom Real LUe. '.V Oman's Love.

How to e rid of Files. It was on a subject of general interest that Mr. Snence wrote, when he communicated ta the Entomological Society the account of a mode employed by a friend of his in Florence to remove this drawback to the comfort qf existence. He tells us that his curiosity was greatly excited on being told by a gentleman residing in the neighborhood of that city, that for two or three years be bad entirely succeeded in excludinii Hies from his apartments, thoubh allowing tW- oio urcaa oi venturing across tne mem work, these insects were cficctually excluded. It is necessary to state, that in order for this plan to succeed, it is essential that the light enter the room on one side only, for if there be an opposite side-window, tho Hies pass through the net without fcrtiplc. The fact of these insects being excluded by the simple means above stated (when the room is lighted from one side only), has been repeatedly noticed and confirmed. Nor are we dependent only on accounts of this fact ns received from a foreign couutry ; it has been noticed and confirmed also by observers in England. " Dr. Stanley gives an account, In the " Transactions of tho Entomological Society," of some experiments entered on by him, in order to the satisfactory investigation of this singular discovery.
