‘The following letters from our special correspond: ents abroad and the compilation of extracts from foreign journais treat on the principal topics of Politics and general news. Past and Present—The Noise of the Bella— The Demolition of Religious Institutions The Uses to Which the Churches are Ape eee a SEVILLE, Nov. 23, 1868, No one who has been in Seville under the old gov- ernment will forget the noisy clangor of the innumer- abie bells that rung out of the hundred steeples and towers of the city. Under some pretext or other these horrid bells were turned over and over, or beaten with hammers, until they seemed to be all voice, and that voice Most unpleasant, harsh and cracked—com plaining of the wrong sound of service they were compelled to perform, The midnight hour, or those pleasant moments just st the break of day when people enjoy sieep, were quite as likely to be disturbed as the noon- day hour by the brazen-mouthed wardens of the lofty Giralda, mingling with the grand chorus from their jatring companions in the more modest steeples in every part of the town, No hour or moment was sacred to quiet, A long line of saints had their birthdays and days of departure for glory, and not an anniversary of either event was allowed toglde by without the accompanying jubilee of | bells, The effect was dreadful in persons ot weak nerves. They were hurried out of fair Seville wretched w , their nerves twitching as though ail the bell rin ‘3 in the city were pulling thew in their frantic style. One can enjoy the silver music of those inost musical belis of the Kremlin and the churches of Moscow, because they are soft but clear in tone and harinon When rang in concert, But of those in Seville, Who can find terms strong enough to fily characte » them’ Will any owe be sur- prised, teu, 0 learn that the long suffermg people turned thei atiention to the bell towers, as well as to other offensive objects, when they had established their revolutionary Junta, and quiey informed the bishop that there | must be less noisy rejoicing in the future over de- paried saints. ‘The bells must not be rung except on grand occasions for any saint or sinner formerly resident of the town, and when they are exercised in the morning, at noon and at eight tock at night they must be allowed repose as quickly as is cum- patible with the interests of that portion of the people who do not own clocks, ‘he magniticent re- suits of (he revolution are becoming beiier known and more widely appreciated daily, and in no way has it accomplished anything more eable to the inhabitants than in suppressing te imeessant and infernal clangor of tie cracked bells of Seville, Now let the watchmen, who walk their nightly rounds with shepherd’s crook and the traditionat lantern, be suppressed as to their cracked voices and peace and quiet will again dwed within the city wal Whiie these drawling disturbers of mehtly Tepose are permitted to carry on their profession of bawling out ihe hours at the top of their voices, and informing the uninterested inhabitants of every fact connected with the weather and the heavens at the time, the revolution has not accomplished its legiti- mate work, Let us hope that it will not stop short of gagging these worthy Dogberries and giving peace Lo the innocent and virtuous citizens of Seville. The city laborers are still busily engaged in de- mollshing churches and convents, and in altering others for public places. Eight churches, some of them very old, are to be demolished, and the men are at work on four at the present time. The chugches of the Jesuits were singled out fur imme- diate destruction, and the people never worked harder in their lives than in tearing these edifices to pieces. They worked like men who had their soul in what they were doing, and cheered each other on by crics of “Down with the Bourbons!" “Down with the Church! Four parish churches are suy- pressed and devoted to public meetings of any Kind. it is in these venerable edifices, which are completely swept of ihe paintings, images and ornaments, that the people assemble to hear the orators of the time and to arrange for the coming election. The Chureh of St. Francisco de Paula has been converted into a public school, where free instruction is given, and the church and convent of the Capucins has been transiormed into a prison, Three convents are to be demolished, two to be converted into achools, another to be used as the storehouse of the munici- pality. There are plenty of churehes left—many lore than can be needed by the people. In two minutes’ walk to-day 1 passed and counted in one locality tem churches, besides a num- ber of convents, No city im the world possesses more churches according to tts popuiation than Seville, and many of them cau be well spared. ‘The altars, confessional boxes and silver are turned over to the bishop, while the paintings, if they have any merit, go to the Museum, where are aiso de- posited the Wooden images of Saints, some of them exquisitely carved and painted. Everything valu- able im an artistic way is preserved for the peoyie, and the bishop takes the balance of the furniture if he cares for it. The division is rather favorable to the people, as you may imagine, All the material from the demoiished churches und convents is sold for the benefit of the city, and tie land on which they stood, some of it extremely valuable, will also be sold to increase the income of the nunticip: The proceeds will undoubtedly be the wages of the workmen thro’ GERMANY. .

FRANKPORT, Nov. 24, 1808, Our bourse continnes in a feverish state, A regu- lar mania has sprung up for Austrian shares. Those of the French-Austnan Railway have risen in the course of the week twelve per cent, Lombards seven per cent, credit shares six per cent, and all others ave equaily raised their price. The speculation is now exclusively direc! to these shares, waile Aus- trian funds scarcely maintain their price. Amert- cans are steady and a fraction higher. They cannot tollow the enormous ups and downs of the New York market; still our bourse ts no longer iadependent of New York quotations, since large amounts of 1866 and 1867 have been taken im exchange for 1862 bonds. Ifthia had not been done the price of the last named bonds would be entirely in oar hands. ‘The endiess jobbery in Brie bonds and the misman- agement of this railway have so much disgusted hold- ers of American preference shares that no new sales of any American railway stock could be effected here, and all exertions to sell here Missourt Pacitic vonas have totally failed; not a siagie bond could be sold, the pablic press and public opinion having miade a strenuous opposition.

The Popo’s Visit to Civitn Vecchia—The Reco tor of the Scotch College Curried Of by Brigands—Removal of the Spanish Churge @Adairee—Slight on Mexico. Rome, Oct, 25, 1863, Monday, the 26th, was an eventful day here, on account of two occurrences of very different charac- ters. The Pope paid a visit to Civita Vecchia at the request of the French General Dumont, and the vice rector of the Scotch College was carried of by brigands from the country house of the community at Grotta Ferrata, on the Alban hill, about ten miles south of Rome. In the excursion of his Holiness there was nothing worth chronicling beyond the generally festive character of the affair and some expressions which dropped from him during his con- versation with General Dumont allisive to the state of events and the anniversary of the French fleet's departure from Toulon for Civita Vecchia with troops to defend the Papal throne trom Garibaldian | Aggression. The Pope lauded the generous devotion of France, and said that the heinous attacks which now assail the Chureh on all sides would soon come to an end, and their authors be punisfled, as even Divine patience has its limits. Looking through this double glass at the new fortifications and the rifled artillery pointed throngh the embrasures, Pio Nono observed sarcas- tically to the General, “We have got back to the Ure of Julius IL’? ‘The Pope was in capital health and spirits, aud the weather beingJovery he had a very agreeable day’s excursion and a very social dinner with the fifty notables whom he adiuitted to the honors of his festive board; but just about the time when his Holiness was comfortably reposing in the Vatican again poor Mr. Campbell, vice rector of the Scotch College, was belag carried otf by main Jorce from the refectory of the country house where le was presiding over the cotiegians’ evening meal. Never suspecting any treachery, the doors of the house, which stands vineyard belonging aiso to the college, were lefi trustingly open, so that no ditticulty in entering was experienced by the six armed men, who first inguired for the rector, Dr. Grant, ana hearing that he was in Rome contented themselves with the person of the vice rector, Mr, Campbell, whom they carried off in spite of his attempts at resistance, and informing the astounded students that they should require 20,000 scudi—equivalent (0 100,000 francs—for his release. appoinied aspot where that sum might be consign isa trustworthy ageut of the band. Such an rage a3 this 80 near the capital is # terrible disz to the Papal government, which disposes of a mili- ti nd police force proportionally enormous for the extent of us territory. Dr. Grant was rumung about in great distress ail yesterday invoking aid from the British representutive, Mr. Odo Russell; trom the Minister of War, the Minister of Police and every other important functionary; but aithougn strong detachments of troops and ‘police were sent to Surround the Alban hitis and search the forest of Fajola, a traditional hiding place for brigands, no success has as yeh atiended their exer: tions. Jt is not known whether these marauders are real Neapolitan brigands, organized bands of whom still iufest the Pontifical territory, or merely Jocal bandits from the neighboring town of Marino, Whose inhabitants bear 9 very bad character, aud some 6f whom had engaged in disputes with Dr. Grant, which led to his summoning them to a crim nulcourt. It may therefore be merely an affair of vendetta, but even if 80 ib will be an equal bore for the college, although rich, to pay 100,000 fraues for Mr, Campbell's ransom, Mr. Odo and Lady Emily Russell, who have just returned to Rome, were very afflably received ia @ private audience by the Pope on sunday, ‘The Spanish Chargé d’Aduires, M. Llorente, has re- ceived instructions to hand over the embassy to the pire secretary. He complied and left Kome on unday. It was remarked at Civita Vecchia that the Mexi- can Consiti was not invited to the Pepe's tabie with the rest of the fereign consuls. FRANCE. A French View of English Mediation. The Paris correspondent of the Pali Mail Gazetle, of date of 27th of November, says:—The Déouts of This morning came out with one of its sviemn articles on foreiga aifairs, supposed to be communicated by @ member of the government. The following 1s the substince of the article, which refers to the an- nouncements of mediation lately made by Lord Stan- ley and Mr. Disraeli:—It was in France that the idea of English mediation was born. ‘The French gov- ernment, Kuowing the price attached by England to the maintenance of peace, represented to the Cabinet ondou, and subsequently to those of Vienna and Petersburg, as well as to South Germany, that the ict observatuce of the treaty of Prague was the only sure guarantee of peace, and that uu was necessary to place thia treaty, the violation of which migtit produce 4 casus belli, under the collective guarantee of Europe. ‘These views were accepted in land, aud Lo serious objections were opposed by Prussi Again, the plan of mediation was neliher distasteful to Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Disracli’s successor, nor to Lord Clareudon, who will probably receive the seals of the Foreiga Ofice from Lord Stanley, The Debets thinks ft possible that the Cabinet of St. James may p takeu the mitiative In # negotiation destined to assure the slafus quo in Germany, and the ¢ tion of that part of the treaty of Prague concerning the duchy of Schl ‘ick.

That Was Une origin of “the bastern question,’ which has ever since, though in very diferent shapes, per- plexed and tormented the governments of Christen- dom. At drst the impression was that of universal alarm. Otber States of Europe descried their own tate m the fate of the Byzantine Empire, and for some gonerations Wie oniy question Was how to make head against this aveu and aggressive Power. At length, through the valor of Christian popula ious on the border, this alarm was dispelled, and ) presentiy the Eastern question uasumed a character fo aANOMalOUs and paradoxical tuat tie governments of the Afteensh ceutury Could Lardly bave compre- honded tue phenomenon.

The Sultan’s Ministers ave profeased to desire nothing better than to be left alone in the work of administration, They readily undertake to deal with their own provinces if other Powers will but stand aloof, and to apply conciliation if possible, or coercion if necessary, to the malcontents among the subjects of the Porte. ‘They protest only against a one-sided interventioa— inst # policy Which allows insurrection to be fo- mented and supported in the Sultan’s dominions by the emissaries of foreign Powers, and yet forbids the Sultan to deal with rebellion as he otherwise might, The ‘aspirations of Kustern Christianity” have often displayed a strong political complexion, und the Turks have some reason for complaining of ; “reliious sympatiies” as expressed by their neigh- bors. * * * In short, the solution of the Kastern juestion will most likely be found in a determina- Mon to let it solve itself.

Seventeen rounds were fought im twenty-nine minutes, John Lafferty was born on the 20th day of Sep- tember, 1837, near Londonderry, Ireland, und is con- sequenuly in the thirty-second year of his age.

He bas never entered the ring beiore as a principal, bat Wul be remembered as the second tv Keating when the latter fought Dick Holliwood. He is five feet tive and a half inches high, weighs 150 pounds, and at in the job of work laid out for him. ‘The steamer Coosa had becn chartered for the occasion, and about nine o’élock on Friday morning janded at the foot of Scott street, Covington, where Latferty and some of his admirers got on board. It sw long time before the captain of the boat let go, owing to the fact that the money agreed to be paid for the use of the craft was not forthcoming, Finally utters were arranged, and the boat started for Newport, where she ran aground, An hour or so more elapsed, and at about one o'clock sue started upthe river, she again stopped at Jamestown, where Buyton goton board and was welcomed by quite a crowd of admirer. The bovt landed on the Kencucky shore, opposite the mouth of the Lite iami river, seven miles from the city, at ten min- 08 before two o'clock, and a spot a short distance up the bank was at once selected, the stakes driven im ane the rope stretched.

Bayton proved the winner, choosing the windward, At exactly half-past two o’clock Bayton shied his castor into the ring and was alinost iumediately fol- lowed by Lailerty. THE FIGHT. RouNpD 1.—Time was catled and both men stepped up to the scratch, Bayion held itis hands at the ac- customed height, but Laterty held his arms at rather xlow guard, They spar very cautiously and seem to study out each other’s plan of attack and defeuce. Atter several fetntings and dodgings to the righ’ and the left Laverty, who leis out with his left, falls short, and Baytion striking out at the same time they clinch and work their arins tg good effect—Bayton giving it to Lafferty on the neck and cheat, and Latterty sinking lus knuckles into the corner of the Weilshman’s right eye. Half a dozen light exchanges are made, and Bayton is throwa heavily to the ground. First blood for Lafferty. KOUND 2.—Both come up promptly and spar cau- tiously for several secouds. Lafferty forces Bayton into his corner, and after a few light but rapid ¢x- changes on the chest and neck Bayton goes down. ROUND 3.—More careful sparring. Latierty gets in 2 blow on the head, and they come together, ex- changing heavy hits. Gatlagher encourages his man and attracts the attention of Lafferty; a splendid opening, but the Welshman does not take it. They come iS ee again, Lafferty hits on Bayton’s cut eye, and Bayton goes for the Irishmnan’s ribs. The exchanges are hotand heavy. Lafferty has the best of this round, and sends the Welshman to the ground; in doing so he strikes at him. Clain of 4oul; not allowed. ROUND 4.—Latferty 18 up first; tries to get away from his chair before time 1s called; Beyton is on time also; they spar for several seconds and another opening is given to the Welshman, but he doesn’t take it; seems to fear something behind; they are at tueir close fighting again and Bayton gets in a stinger on Laflerty’s right eye; his beat trick yet; they clinch and fall together Bayton’s corner. KOUND 5,—Laterty still forcing the fighting, but is more cautious; they spar for wind in the centre of the ring; Lafferty strikes at Bayton and drives him to the ropes, bears him down, they giving and taking the while, and Bayton, after sending in two or three sounders on Lafferty’s stomach, gocs down to escape punishment. KouND 6.—Lafferty suffering for want of wind, Both men are losing their right eves, Lafferty’y look- ing the worst. They punch each other with a will now and fight at close quarters; the blows are struck while the men are clinched, and Laitferty is getting the best of it. Bayton’s friends don’t think so, but after getting another wipe on the sore eye goes down. ROUND 7.—Lafferty gets in on Bayton’s left cheek, and Bayton sends in a good one on the Hibernian’s bread basket. Bayton down ayala. ROUND 8,—Bayton loses another opening; more sparring wind: two or three light exchanges given on cheek and forehead and Bayton goes down. Kounp 9.—Baytou’s right cye is aimost gone, and hisleft one is none the best for wear. Lafferty doesn’t like the look of Bayton and dances around him a good ds sayton “has almost closed one of the Irishman’s eyes and is trying to close the other, but can’t getin, Laiferty instead gives him light touches ou both eyes, and Bayton goes down, ROUND 10,—Up to time promptly, Latferty still fore- ing the fighting. He gets too far over into Bayton’s corner, and the whitehead plucks up a spirit, gives him a good one in the ear and sends aim to the ground, (Cheers for Bayton.) ROUND 1L.—Both men are bleeding copiously. They go through the movement of Hglting a round, bat do no Work, Lafferty catches tt dn the cheek, however, and Bayton returns to bis old trick of dropping. OUND 12.—Latterty’s right eve is ueariy closed and Bayton’s cyes are failing him. They spar, evidently for wind. “Lafferty makes a strike at Bayton, who goes down. Claiin of foul; not allowed, Kounp 13.—Lafferty almost completely out of wind. They spar cautiously. Callagher attempts to sttract the attention of Latierty away from his work, in which he sucqgeds, which gives Bayton an excel- lent openiag to that left eye; bat the offer is not ac- cepted. Lafferty gets ina heavy blow on Baylon’s face and the Welshman goes down. Rownp 14,—-Both men are weak, but they respond promptly to the call of time, Bayton gets im on Laf- Terty’s ribs and on jis left cheek and forehead this time; but Latferty clinches with him, and Bayton is 80 groggy that he cannot see to direct his blows. Both men are covered with blood and are horribie spectacles. Blood is gushing trom hati a dozen dif- ferent wounas in Bayton’s face, and his eves are swollen up asif they had been stung by a nest of hornets, Latierty’s lace is badly cut and swollen, but be has one good eye yet. They come together and lay their heads on each other's shoulders aud hammer away, Latierty now striking for the rii und Bayton directing his blowa as well as he can ‘Laifercy’s right eye.

ROUND 17,—Both men were now badly used up. Bayton was at the scratch first, but it was evident that he could not last much longer, as his eyes were entirely closed. Buyton struck out wildly, but did not reach hia mark. Lafferty, who could probably have lasted for ten rounds more, struck Bayton to the ground, and it was claimed that he struck him after ne was down. A foul was claimed, bat not allowed, and the seconds of Bayton, seeing that he could fight no more, threw up the sponge, and Laf- leriy was doclared the victor. ‘rhe seventeen rounds were fought in thirty-nine minutes.
