Maprp, Feb. 10—Midnight. Thave just learned the following facts rela- tive to the progress of the very serious events which occurred at Court, and which are likely to produce a most remarkable crisis in the history of governmental affairs in Spain, subsequent to the transmission of my de- spatches to the Heratp during the evening to- day. ROYAL RESOLVE TO RESIGN THE CROWN. Atthe hour of eight o'clock this evening His Majesty Amadeus, King of the Spaniards, announced to Minister Sefor Zorrilla, and through him to the members of the Cabinet, that he was determined to adhere to his reso- lution to abdicate. MINISTERIAL EFFORT FOR PERMANENCY OF THE | cRowN. Since Saturday last, when His Majesty de- clared his intention of quitting the throne, the Ministers have strenuously endeavored to dis- | suade him from doing so, but their efforts have proved fatile. A OROWN MESSAGE TO CORKTRS. Aroyal message, announcing the determi- nation of the King, will soon be submitted to the Cortes. CABINET ACTION IN THE CRISIS. After the presentation of the monarch’s message to the legislative body, the members of the Cabinet will tender their resignation. PARLIAMENTARY PROVISION FOR CENTRAL CONTROL. The Congress, about the hour of midnight, adopted a proposal that the President of that branch of the Cortes and fifty Deputies shall constitute a permanent committee. PUBLIC SENSATION IN FACE OF THE SITUATION. The announcement that the abdication of the King is certain creates a profound sen- gation, but tranquility prevails. LATEST FROM MADRID. The Abdication Resolution Still changed—Excitement in Madrid and Attempt at Riot-Preparation the Proclamation of a Republic. Maprm, Feb. 11—1 A. M. King Amadeus persists in his determination to abdicate the Spanish throne. EXCITEMENT IN THE STREETS AND ATTEMPT AT RIOT. When it became known last night that the King would certainly resign the crown groups of people gathered in many of the streets of Madrid, and there were some attempts to create a disturbance. The riotous demonstrations were promptly suppressed, and the crowds dispersed without sny conflicts. THE REPUBLIC EXPECTED TO BE REALIZED. Tt is just now expected that an Executive Commiasion of the government will be formed, which will proclaim a republic in Spain. THE NEWS IN LONDON AND PARIS. English and French Opinion of the Con- sequences of the Spanish Abdication—A Civil War Regarded Inevitable=— British Statement of the Street Scenes in Madrid. Lonvon, Feb. 11—Midnight. The abdication of King Amadeus is the all- ‘absorbing topic in London and Paris. The wiew is considered gloomy and a bitter civil ‘war regarded as inevitable. The last despatch received from Madrid was ‘dated at one o'clock this morning. Nothing has since been received. The failure of de- @patches is regarded as ominous. The latest despatch says:—‘‘The streets of Madrid are now (one o'clock A.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, Feb. 11, 1873. In the House of Lords this evening the Earl of Lauderdale asked whether measures had been taken to complete the settlement of the western part of the boundary line between the British American Dominion and the United States. He contended that, notwithstanding the de- cision with regard to that portion of the line which gave San Juan to the United States, there were still several water channels which the Ameri- cans might claim. The rights of the Indian tribes were also left unsettied, and collisions were iney- itable. He characterized the whole Treaty of Washington as the most humiliating England bad ever negotiated. Eari Granville replied with assurance that steps had been taken to settle all boundary questions, A British Commission had surveyed a line which was almost indentical with that laid down by the Americans. Instructions had been sent out with a view of arriving at an agreement upon the exact boundary. Meeting of the Reform Committee—Reso- lutions and Nominations of Officers. A meeting of the members of the American Inati- tute, called for the purpose of ratifying the nomi- nations of the Reform Committee, was held at the Cooper Union, room 24, last night. Mr. D. J. Whitney presided, and Mr. W. L. Ormsby acted a3 secretary. Mr. OrMsBYy moved the following resolutions :— Resolved, That the ring which has hitherto controlled and still controls the American Institute should be driven from power—Because the “ring,” which, year after year, has fected iteelt to office has refused ta give any reflable account of its stewardship and has denied members of the Institute access to its books. Because it has se- cured by unfair mesns the apparemt adoption of bylaws, giving into its own hands the absolute control of the In: stitute, its exhibitions and its treasury, without account- ability to any one. Because has = sought to abolish the monthly meetings of the Insti- tute, thereby to debar members from having any ve * in its affairs, Because when made the subjec} of grave charges of corruption and malfeasance it has not been able successtully to disprove them. Because there is good reason to believe that in many accounts the “vonchera” have been destroyed. Because under the new bylaws it claims the rightto change the bylaws at will without regard to the membership at large, to ap- joint ail inspectors of election, to omit Notice to the mem pproaching election, and to omit public notice thereof, except in two papers ts be chosen by the “ring” itself, and which may be the least known und having the smallest circulation of any in the city, it being clearly the object of the ring to perpetuate itself in the control of the Institute, at all hazards. Because it has attempted to shembers from receiving accurate information | condition of the Institute by arrogating to ve possession of the list of members, and ting the matiing of tickets to those op- posed to the proceedings of the ring. ‘Because it has sut fered the Library to remain with the sane number of vol umes it possessed some years ago; because it has allowed the Repository, so-called, to become a mere lumber room, although the annual expense of the room amounts to sev: eral hundred doliars yearly; and, more than all, because it has relieved the Third Avenue ‘Railroad of the burden of. uk, and thereby entailed upon the Institute an annual expense of more than twenty-six thousand dol- lars, against from seven to eight thousand dollars, the previous yearly expenditure tor location for the Hair, here being waste of between fitteen and twenty thou: sand dollars each year from this source alone. Resolved, That the reform ticket deserves the support of all honest men, because it \s pledged to restore to the members the control of the Institute, by restoring the old bylaws, by restoring the monthly meetings and by keep- ing open to every member the books and accounts, and by holding itself directly responsible to the members at large; because itis pledged to economy in the expendi- ture of fands and to integrity and justice in the manage- because it ts pledged to elevate the ary, its standing committees and its genera! management to a position of usefulness, to arts | And industries and of hoaor in the world of science. Mr. WALKER moved to take up the resolutions in | sections. Aftepa heated discussion the following substitute was offered:— = Resolved, That the present management of the Ameri- can Institute is not deserving of the confidence and re- spect of the members tor the following reasons :—First, because the affairs of the Institute have becime unne: cessarily mixed up with the Third Avenue Railroad Company : second. because all inquiry Into th the part of members has been stitied by ile: nical proceedings; third, because the financial ai the Institute are never clearly explained to the members, butare characterized by items of expenditure that, to jeserve examination; fourth, because dis Sraceful, if Hot corrupt, tavoritiam has been shown b: ers Of the Institute to their relatives and friends among exhibitors; fitth, because recent events have shown an undue anxiety on the part of the present offi- to obtain supreme control of our property : sixth, be- cause the library of the Institute is neither @ credit to the Institute nor a convenience tor the members. Resolved, That although President Barnard may be an excellent int ‘opist we do not admire his method of administering a microscopic amount of justice to us; that though he may have a deserved reputation as an educa. tor he has yet to learn that when over fifty members of this Institute call for a count, a division or & ballot on an Important vote. they are entitled to be heard and their ten cannot be extinguished by parliamentary legerde- thereby pre 5 main. Resolved, That the trustees who introduced policemen and others not entitled (o be present at the last annual meeting were guilty of a flagrant breach of law and fitly exhibited their own cowardice ssolved, That in nominating a ticket according to the “bylawa’’ we do not intend to recall a word that we have said as to their illegality, believe them tobe Mlegal and intonded tw deprive the members of their rights, and we have framed a tickatin accordance with them’ only because we heard that the inspectors appointed by our opponents would otherwise throw out Hota. ived, That in the event of our succeeding in rout: @ ring at presentin possession of the Institute ourselves to restore to the members their righ’ ‘0 show no favoritism to one of another avenue of cot munication to the Fairs, to make all explanations ot financial transactions clear and to make a cata- logue of the books in the library and to conauct tl atfairs ot the Institnte with efficiency and econom: so far from discouraging the inquiries of our oppo ‘we shall invite their closest scrutiny, trusting that the American Institute will be then what’ it is not now—a credit to the city, the State and the nation, Resolved, That the conduct of the two trastees in re: fusing our representative the rightto copy the names of members was (ilegal and a just ground for suspecting a design to commit fraud at the coming election. After a heated debate the resolutions and substi- tute were both adopted. | SPANISH TRUCULENCE. Morales Still Talking Spy Shooting Bombast. OxSELLY DETERMINED TO PROCEED. Local, Regulations vs. Interna- \, tional Law. ag, ~ is fiivana, Feb. 10, 1873, Tho following despate!h has been received from Mr. James J. O’Koly, tho Henaup Special Commissioner to the islaxd of Cuba: — Santraco pE Cuna, Feb. 10, 1873. T have returned from Palma Soriano to have AN INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL MORALES DE LOS RIOS with reference to the threat which he com- municated against my hfe'should I attempt to carry out my mission, as laid down by the Heraxp. In conversation with me he repeated the warning. I told him in reply that I SHOULD PROCEED as my duty dictated. I then proceeded to the Consul and demanded protection. I insisted on my right to visit the disturbed districts, as the Spaniards recognized no war to be in ex- istence. The Consul replied: — “YOU MUST OBEY THE LOCAL REGULATION. The rule to shoot down those whom they de- fine as a spy applies to all. Your case is no exception. If the action of General Morales appears unjustifiable to you you can apply to the government. I will ask WHAT POINTS YOU CAN VISIT without incurring the penalty General Mo- rales has laid down.”” I shall probably invoke American protec- tion. COLOMBIA. eaebeneeNe Ss lhy Sweep of the Recent Storm at Aspin- wall—The Losses of Property and Life—The Want of a Breakwater— Peace and Finance in the Interior. PANAMA, Feb, 1, 1873. The people of Panama were astonished to learn by telegraph on the morning of the 19th ult. that a strong norther had commenced at Aspinwall the night before, accompanted by a sea so rough that several ships had been wrecked, moles carried away and steamers compelled to put to sea to save themselves from destruction. The atmosphere in and around Panama, while all this was taking place on the other side of the summit, showed nothing unusual, SUDDEN SWELL AND DESTRUCTIVE ACTION OF THE SKA, It seems that until sunset of the 18th the day passed over quietly. The north wind then began to increase, but more so the waves, which by eleven o'clock P. M. threatened destruction to all property within their reach, The storm, particu. larly of the sea, came on so suddexly tiat the steamships and sailing vessels that lined the wharves were taken by surprise. ‘The Royal Mail steamer Tasmanian managed to get up steam and go outtosea. The French steamer Desirade held out at her anchorage with her engines turning ahead and two anchorsdown. The West India and Panama Steamship Company's steamer Bolivar succeded tn saving herself in a similar way. But no such chance was left ior the SAILING VESSELS in the harbor at the time. There were no buoys or anything eise to haul out to, so the wharves, to which they were made fast, have suifered the con- sequences, Tae three-masted schooner Royal Arch, of Bos- ton, with coal for the Pacitic Mai! Steamship Com- pany, was driven stern first through the compa- ny’s mole, at which she was lying. The bark Orient, of Boston, went at the French wharf, and wrecked it as well as herself, The schooner 0. H. Kelly, of Boston, broke adrift and went on shore, but may possibly be gotten of. The Halifax schooner J. W, Halls fell foul of the French steamer and suffered some damage. Other sailing vessels were saved, principally by the active exer- tions of the Panama Railroad people. THE DAMAGE done to the Pacific Mail wharf, with the whale oil aud other produce on it, cannot be less than three hundred thousand dollars. One half of the French wharf was carried away, with two car loads of indigo that were on it. The Liverpool! Company's wharf saffered much from a bark which was lying alongside of tt whe the storm commenced, and it may safely be asserted that there is nota sound wharf to-day m Aspin- Ww ‘all. Three small coasting schooners sunk at their moorings. The steamship Henry Chauncey kept outside, and thus escaped the storm in the harbor, The brig Gilmore Meredith became a total wreck on the reef. A boat from the shore trying to reach her was upset, and two Aspinwall men were drowned. HINTS FOR ENGINEERING SCIENCE. With all this sudden destruction of property ve- fore us in a harbor of so much importance as that of the Aspinwall terminus ef the Panama Kailroad, it is natural to ask, Can nothing be done to modify or prevent a repetition? The question is certainly a very serious one, and one that the company must take up as soon as possible. The natural coniigura- tion of the bay and its long axis being in the direct line of northers and the waves propelled by them, such accidents to life and property must be ex- pected. Nevertheless, it is conceded by all disin- terested experts that a breakwater could and ought to be cemstructed, and which would not cost more than the value of the present damage. In fact, a mistaken econemy has had a great deal to do with the loss of shipping in this case from the want of the requisite Geil out of almost all the vessels that have been wrecked. PUBLIC HEALTH. An endemic fever of a malarieus type, called by the people tablon, from its resemblance toa similar fever which prevailed last year on the At- lantic coast, continues to prevail in Panama. Its continuance is due to atmospheric causes and ter- restrial emanations. Aitiough not contagious, the authorities of Gudyaqnil have declared that all ves- sels from the Isthmus shall be subject to quaran- tine—am uncalled-for measure, which will entail a great deal ef inconvenience to commerce and pas- sengers. BRITISH DIPLOMACY. Mr. Hamilton, British Mintster to Quito, is now in Panama, en his way to Ecuador, aad will of course be detained here. THE Da&RIKN ISTHMUS BXPEDITION. Nothing has been heard from Captain Selfridge and the Darien expedition since the Tuscarora leit this port for that part of the Isthmas, PEACE. From the interior of the Republic up to the 12th of January there is no mews of any great impor- tance, The State of Cauca continues tranquil and members for Congress e assembling at bogota. FINANCR. By an arrangement entered into between the Colombian government and Mr. Women the Coim- missioner of the foreign boudholders, the amount of the national debt has been reduced from $24,000,000 to $10,000,000, and the interest payable annually from $750,000 to $450,000, The Bolivar Railroad yielded in the month of October last $2,515 80 of profits preveeding from 27,007 packages of exports and 22,800 of imports, by eleven steamers and eight schooners, THE MURDERER GAFFNEY. He Recovered His Sens on Being Told that He Will Certainty Lose Them on Friday. BUFFALO, Feb. 11, 1873. Gaffney, on being informed by Sheriff Cieveland that the jury had pronounced him sane, and that he would certainly be executed on Friday, at once abandoned the insanity dodge. He came out of his cell and walked for some time in the corridor of the jail with the Sherif, and with the exception of his profanity, talked a3 rationally asever. His spiritual advisers have not visited him since he pretended to be insane, nor has he asked for them. ‘The Sheriff sent a request to-night that they would come and see him, THE ALLEY MURDER TRIAL.

He was half brother of the fore- man on the engine. He was a bright little fellow, and the passengers seem to have taken a liking to him, for Mr. Hoover nearly lost his life, and Mr. Casey also, trying to save the boy. Accounts are very unsatisfactory and con- ficting as to the details, The catastrophe was so sudden and terrible and the time for escape so brief that no one seemed to have collected an im- pression of the scene. Mr. Hoover, who had a nar- row escape from death, says:— I was sitting alone reading when [felt the car jnmping, and saw a brakeman, Bishop, spring to the door, seize a seat and brace himself against the opposite side with one foot. With other pas- sengers I kicked out a window. The car rollea over on its ‘side, halted an instantfand then rolled again. How far it rolied or how it landed I cannot say. Inside all was wreck; saw newsboy trying to get out, and some one from outside trying to help lim, Water and oil were coming into the car 80 suddenly that the car became A BLAZE OF FLAME. I had to leave the boy at the front door and scramble toward the rear, over the ruins of seats. I climbed over one man entangled tn the wreck; got out by the rear door and thence jumped into the water sand got ashore. When I reached the track I lay down exhausted and became unconscious. When I came to it was so hot on the track I could not face the heat long. I started down the track, running a short distance and then lying down in the snow to cool and rest, Hoover resides in Titusville. He is burned about the head, face and bands, and somewhat injured internally by concussion, or possibly by inhaling heated air. P. C, George, of Rouseville, says that a car rolled down an embankment into the river, and was sub- merged to a depen of perhaps three or four feet, the bottom upwards. In a moment a stream of oil came pouring in at the forward windows which communicated with the red hot stove and instantly enveloped the coach in flames. He kicked out a window and crawled through and climbed up a bank with some dificuity. In the contusion and excitement of the scene it was IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHO HAD PERISHED. There were twenty-five or thirty passengers in the car, of whom probably one-haif contrived to save themselves. Others got out with assistance, Six or seven freight and passenger cars went over the bank, which was about thirty-five feet bigh at this point and very precipitous. The fire raged so fiercely that the uninjured pas- sengers were powerless to render assistance to the wounded, whose shrieks of agony were heart- Trending. The blazing oil fowed down the river and the whole scene was terrible in the extreme. In getting out of the car I found the water up to gis igs ir. Whitcomb, another passenger, says the flames raged furiously, and the shrieks of poor victims were terrible. Some of the passengers must have been buried under the wreck, and BURNED TO DEATH OR DROWNED. Six oil cars and coach went over. It was very diM- cuit to ascend the bank on account of the ice, In the hurry I lost my rome and = sat- chel with over two hundred dollars in money and some valuable papers. On reaching the track I attempted to walk, but my strength failed, and I had to crawl away frem the heat.

Ooncokn, N. Hi, Feb. 11, 1873. By permission’ of Governor Straw Mr. P. W. Locke, accompanied by E. F. Pillsbury, of Augusta, Me., had an interview with Franklin Evans to-day. Mr. Locke, who was Evans’ counsel. at Exeter, de- sired the interview for professional purposes, it being understood that he is laboring to get a new trial or to procure a stay of proceedings. Mr. Pillsbury came here to see Evans at the special re- quest of the Governor and prominent citizens of Maine, and with the hope that Evans might tirow some light upon the child murder th Maine, which it was attempted to fasten upon the prisoner through the pretended contession given to the pu- lic. Tt interview was had in the cell, in the presen f the Warden, and lasted upward of an hour. Evans appeared much broken dowa in health and spirits. Mr. Pillsbury could get nothing from him throwing light upon apy other murder except the one at Northwood, tor which he ts con- victed.

UTAH. ae Professional Legal Crimination and Re- crimination—The Question of Polyg- amy. Sart LAKe Crry, Feb. 11, 1873, Telegrams received yesterday from Washington state that a private despatch from Salt Lake City says that a protest, numerously signed by members of the Utah Bar, will be sent immediately to the Presideut and Congress, denytng the allega- tions that the late memorial of the Bar of Salt Lake City refers to a secret scheme of a few Mormon at- torneys, assisted by apostate Gentiles, or, as they are better known, “Jack Mormong,"’ The whole atfair is put ap by Ap@stie Cannon and can be readily explained by Delegates Claggett and Merritt. The signers to the late morial of the Salt Lake City Bar comprise—it cannot be denied— some of the most prominent lawyers in this Terri- tory. A majority of the signers are democrats and some formerly sympathized with the Mormon cause. The Tribune (liberal Mormon) thinks that the present contest in Utah is between the government and a comparatively little ring of old Nauvoo Mor- mons, It says that polygamy is chargeable to a small coterie of donot whese number will not perhaps exceed one hundred; that sending George Q. Cannon to Congress is an experiment of Brigham Young's, and trusts that Congress will send Cannon home again, The 7ridune states that Brigham Young might a8 well be in Congress as Cannon. ‘The snow blockade on the Northern Railroad was Taised yesterday.
