Senator Bacon's supplementary rezistration bill in Louisiana provides for the adoption of reg om of voters under mihtary com- manders until registration under Staie laws can be completed. The nezro equality ve:o wall probably kill this bill in the Hoase, if it passes the Senate. The brig Sunny South,coal oil laden, in the Delaware river, was mot strack by hightning as reported, but took fire fram a lamp which was overtarned.

The Revolution in Spain. ‘The despatches received by the ocean tele- graph from Spain, though still indecisive and conilicting, do uot lessen the gravity of the revolution there, nor decrease the probabilities of its success. The Government despatches, which come throngh Paris, and are put forth by the French official press, continue to assert that the movement is abortive, but the facts they permit to be known do uot sustain this statement. From these sources we learn that a battle between the ({ucen’s troops under Parva, and the revolutionists under General Serrana, who hold Cordova, was momentarily expected. General Concha bad submitted a proposition to the (ueen looking to her abdication and the succession of the Prince of Asturias, but she had Tejected it. The despatches received at London, and coming through other sourcesare favorable tothe revolutiouists. These stave the revolu- tion to de the result ef the union of the consti- tutional. moderate and liberal parties of Spain effort to overthrow the tyrannical dy- y of the Bourbons and * liberty. The fleet and a greater partof thea had joined the movement, and the insurrection extends throughout eighteen of the most ir ut provinces of Spain. With regard tothe actual miltary movements, it is stated that Gen. Parva's troops were deserung him, and that he had beer forced to stop ia bis approach to Cordova, which wns held by the revolution- asts, and wait for reinforcements. The Queen ‘Was still at Sebastian, protected by ti oops from the province of Biscay. The Paris official journals, fearful of ine eect of the revolution France. discourage it, but it Is generally be- heved that it will prove successful, and result im the expulsion of ‘he Bourbons from Spain and the +stablishment of amore liberal gov- @umen! ander the Duke de Mon‘spensier. The French Emperor bad called Prince Na- Peleon to Paris for covsultation in regard to affairs of Spain. Official despatches from Madrid last night contain the following Intel- lizence :—The rebel forces under Serrano, and the roval ferces under Novalisehez, are grad- wally approaching each ocher. and it is hrob- able a decisive battle will soon take place, Novalischez asks for remforcements. General Prim is not well received by the other rebel geverals. and is carrying out his own plag without ther co-operation. The Spanist Gov- erpment bas received information that the Tebels haye been driven from Alcoy, in the province of Alicante, Madrid remains quict. No revolutionary demonstrations bav- been made in the nortiern provinces. Steam Cawat BoaTs.—A new plan ot over- coming the difficulties that have bitherto pre- vented tae. tion of steam as a propelling power on which 18 likely to revolation ize the present system of ii RAvigation, Was tried successfelly at New York, s few days since, by a party of gentlemen connected with tran: yon companies, in presence of some members of the press. The invention which was attached to the propeller General Siegel, consists of am ordinary screw fixed in 4 rotecting frame, but sttachéd, not t» the shaft, ut tos knuckle of iron between the end of thé shaft and the screw blades. By this arranges ment the screw is made toserve asa rudaet and responds readily to the movement of the wheel. The General Siegel mace several com- plete turns in her own length during the trip; And caused no T disturbance in the water aft than would an or. far less than a canal boat fitted with large un Wieldy rudders. Asa test of the value of the invention for steering purposes the experiment Was perfectly euccessiul and proved that the chief objection \ the introduction of steam on our canals—the washing and wearing of the banks—could no longer apply. The Philadel. pbin Tracsportaticn snd Freight Company, which bas received a very liberal charter from the Pennsylvania Legisiature, is building 9 number of canal boats to be fitted with this ins vention and rum by steam between the coal Tegions and Washing‘on. and Washington and New York. The boa's will be 100 feet long bv 7 feet wide, sud will carry 170 tons of freight, ned Tue Eviscovaliax OVERTURE To THE MutsovisTs.—A number of Episcopalian el gymen in New Jersey signed « memorial to the late Methodist General Conference, asking fof the appointment of commissioners to confet with the representatives of the Episcopal Chureh, which are proposed to be appointed by the General Convention soon to meet in this city.
