SPAIN. c Minister Castelar’s Appeal and Argument for European Recognition. Tho Republic of 1873 the “Logical Consequence” of the Republic of 1868—Military Adhe- sions to the New System—The Carlist Campaign in Active Conduct— Pampeluna Threatened. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALB. MADRID, Feb. 27, 1873. Seflor Castelar has addressed a memorandum to foreign Powers urging the immediate recognition ef the Republic. He argues:—The European Pow- ers, having recognized the revolution of 1863, can- not refuse similar action with regard te the Renub- Uc, which is the logical consequence of the events of 1868, now that royalty has abdicated. The Spanish Republic will not be a brand of discord for Europe. The transformation the country has gone through is purely interna). Foreign nations should dot demand of the government energetic action while they withhold from it their moral support.” ‘The memorandum has been forwarded by tele- graph to the principal capitals of Europe, SERRANO’S TENDER OF SERVIOE IN THE FIELD. Marshal Serrano, General Conoa and other gen- erals have promised to place their swords at the service of the Republic whenever the government gall upon them. THE CARLIST CAMPAIGN.

Parliamentary Debate on the Plan of the Thirty—Hints for a Monarchy—American Diplomatists in the Capital. TELECRAM TO TEE NEW YORK HERALS. Paris, Feb. 27, 1873, In the National Assembly to-day debate began on the report of the Committee of Thirty. “Urgency” ‘was voted for the bill embodying the constitutional ‘project submitted by the committee. M. Dufaure announced that the government un- reservedly accepted the committee's recommenda- tiens. The Marquis de Castellane urged the Assembly to boldly proclaim a constitutional monarchy be- fore it was too late. The. present situation should motendure. It isolated France, the foreign Pow- ers fearing that she would become the hotbed of demagogism. M. Hautjens, a Bonapartist, opposed the bill and demanded that the nation should be consulted as to its choice for a republic, monarchy or empire. The debate will be continued to-morrow.

The society is composed of some two hun- dred and fifty physicians and lawyers Mr, Clark Bell, a prominent lawyer, presided, and Dr. James Ross acted as secretary, Dr. J. 0. Peters submitted the report of the Library Com- mittee. The want of a comptete library of medical jurisprudence, he said, had been felt for a long time. The society could buy 1,500 volumes, em- bracing all the well known writings of German, French and English scholars, and the ex- pense would be comparatively small. The committee recommended at a _ previous meeting that each member be called upon to contribute one volume, and contributions were being received now. The committee now recommend that a general appeal be made to the members (Co subscribe a suMicient fund to complete the-library, and that the committee be authorized to promise to such persona as contributed to this library who were not members of this society the tree use of the library. Mr. Bet said the members had not generally re- sponded to the cail of the society, aud it would be better to raise this fund by SODERUNE b0. the entire legal and medical profession ef the city. ‘the library of the Bar Association did not contain more than three or four works on medical jurisprudence, and the only good library in the State was the State library in Albany. aper on “Me- Dr. Kugene Penguet read a dico Legal Toxicology,” in which he gave a very interesting analysis of various poisons and their effects upon the tissues of tue body, He was lia- tened to with great attention, and the meeting then adjourned. i ANOTHER BOSTON CALAMITY, Terrible Results of a Fire on Hanover Street.

Boston, Feb, 27, 1873. The latest reports of the Hanover street fire state that Mary Babb and Lizzie Hinks, two girls employed by Mr. Hammett, are missing aud probably buried im the ruins. They were last seen running for hats and cloaks. z ‘ The total known casualties to firemen are two killed outright, two supposed fatally wounded, twelve more or less injured and one missing. The pecuniary less is not fully known, but will probably be about fifty thousand dollars, which is mostly insured, The wails of the building were a mere sham, pieced out of old and new material, the three | upper stories being built upon the lower portien with eight-inch wails. The toppling of the upper walis threw the ladders, which were covered by firemen, outward, dashing them to death and terri- ble injuries, A ceroner’s jury will investigate the catastrophe, OBITUARY.

The City Charter Bill Passes the Assembly: at Last. THE VOTE-88 TO 31. Only a Few Unimportant Amendments Made to the Bill Yesterday: Conscientious Members Explain Why They Voted For or Against. Rumors About the Charter After Its Passage. The Bill Received in the Senate and Ordered To Be Printed. eed The Assembly Resolves to Take a Recess, but the Senate Refuses, ALBANY, Feb, 27, 1873. At last the Assembly has got rid of the charter, and by such a decisive vote that the Senate will not be very likely to attempt to so alter it as vir- tually to defeat it, as some of the wise men in the lobbies think they will, THE AMENDMENTS made to the bill to-day before it was carried were of no great importance, with the exception of one that provides that the Deputy Comptroller cannot, after his appointment, act as Comptroller more than three mouths in any one year. Weed offered an amendment that the charter should be submit- ted to the people of the city, at an election to be held on the first Monday in April. The Speaker opposed it as impracticable, and then made a motion that the bill should be progressed then and there. Here “Denny” Burns took the floor, and before the motion was put by the Chairman, managed to get in a few parting shots at the majority, closing by declaring that the amendment which provided for the draw- ing up of another charter by certain officials of New York showed that the republicans had no confidence in the present bill. ‘There isn’t brains enough in the party here,” he exclaimed, “to get up a good charter, and yet I know two democrats in the city who could, in a week, draw up a charter that would be supported by nine-tenths of the people.”’ Fortumately for the majority “Denny’ sat down after this outburst, and the committee Tose after progressing the bill. The moment the Speaker took the chair Mr. Pierson got up and moved to disagree with the report of the committee, and that the bill be ORDERED TO A THIRD READING. The yeas and, nays were called on this, and the vote stood 87 to 32, Abbott and Voorhis (demo- crats) voting with the majority. Pierson then moved that the bill should immediately have its third reading. This motion, of course, was stoutly opposed by the minority, Smith, Weed and Jacobs contending that, according to the rules, the bill could not be passed the same day it was ordered to a third reading unless by unanimous consent. Husted then got mixed up in the discussion, and after AN EXCITING DEBATE the objection was offered by Mr. Weed tnat the bill was not correctly engrossed. Jacabs took the same view and a war of words ensued between him and Weed and Husted that created immense excitement, The Speaker contended at first that @ two-thirds vote could put the bill on its final passage, but afterwards receded from this position and deciared that Mr. Weed's point of order, that the bill was not properly engrossed, was out of order. Husted contended that as the bill had been engrossed aftcr the Committee on Cities had reported it complete ic was properly engrossed, and had not lost its place on the order of thir reading of bills. Batcheller explained that when he, the day before, had moved to have the bill referred back to the Committee of the Whole, he had been caretul to add that it should retain its lace in the order of third reading of bills. The Speaker decided Husted’s point of order well taken, and by A STRICT PARTY VOTE with the exception of Voorhees, who voted with the republicans, the motion that the bill should be at once put on its final passage was carried. The Clerk immediately read the title and first section of the bill, and then, at the request of Mr. Beebe, Was about to read the third section, when Mr. Weeu demanded that the bill should be read as the constitution of the State made it imperative that it should be read—from beginning to end. The Speaker promptly ordered the Clerk to read the bill, When all the members (the minority and the leaders excepted) settled themselves down in their seats for a cemfortable nap of two hours. Weed rot good-natured, however, after Mr. O'Donnell ad waded through three or four amended sections, so, without objection, the last section of the bill was read. and then THE VOTE ON ITS FINAL PASSAGE took place, with the foHowing result (the names of the democratic members being marked in italics) :— Yuas—Mossrs, Alberger, Babcock, Badger, Baltz, Batch- eller, Biglip, Blackie, Brewer, E, E.

AnseNt—Mesers. Couchman, Fowler, Hollister, Nice, Ved- Vedder, Well Mr. Blumenthal and Mr. Prince and Mr. Deering rose and explained why they voted as they did. It was generally supposed that Prince would vote against the bill, but it will be seen that he voted for it, and in explaining his position he said:— MR. PRINCE EXPLAINS. Tasked tobe excused from voting for the follow- ing reasons:—On the one hand 1am ardently de- sirous of aiding im giving to New York a reform charter which will ensure to that city a just, able ani economical administration 01 government, satisfactory at home and creditabie abroad, and thus crown the work of reform in whi her best citizens have been engaged ior the past two years. With this view | heartily supported the charter of the Cemmittee of Seventy last year, both before and alter the veto, and subsequently the second reform charter of 1872, which also failed to become a law. I consider the first and greatest duty of the present Legislature to be the passage of such a charter, and have joeked forward almost impatiently to the day when that duty snould be accomplished. The bill betore ua contams very many excellent provisions which are certainly great improvements to the existing law, arid which commend themselves entircly to my judg- ment. All these considerations lead me to vote in the affirmative. On the other hand tt is with the most sincere regret that I find in the proposed charter other provisions which it is impossibie tor me to approve, Without particularizing these I may state that I am most Set opposed to the twenty-fifth section, which provides for the appointment of the heads of departments, as being contrary to established and approved politi- cal principles, destructive to omcial responsibility, conucive to the formation of dangerous combina- tions and in violation of A a Taith to the non- artisan retorm element in New York. 1 had joped for the amendment of these provisions in Committee of the Whole, but was disappointed. These considerations would naturally lead me to vote in the negative, But I recognized the faet that, if this charter should not pass, it may result in an entire failure of the needed reform, and Ldo not for- get that this bill is still to go to the Senate for its action. Unwilling by any act to impede the pas- sage of wnat I trust will ultimately be made an altogether satisfactory relorm charter, and in the confident hope that the Senate will preserve the beneficial and reject the improper provisions of the bill, I therefore withdraw my request to be cx- cused from voting and vote ‘“ay.’” THR CHARTER AS PASSED stands almost precisely as it did when it was re- orted complete from the Committee on Cities last Priday, aud then advanced to a third reading, with the exception of the new clause retative to the number of the Board of Aldermen.

THE BILL WAS RECEIVED IN THE SENATE at twenty minutes past e to-night, couched as an “innocent innocuous” message from the “As- semb:, When the title was read Senator Tie- mann moved to have extra copies printed, as his Constituents were anxious te see it as it had passed the Assembly, and the Committee on Cities, of which he was a member, were anxious to consider it deliberately and to get the views of their constituents upon tt for the purpose of giving New York a thovoughty good | charter, The bill was laid over accordingly, and will be printed by Monday. senator Wood, the chairman of the Committee on Cities, said it would be reported, probably, as early as Tuesuay, and he thinks there will be gay two slight and immaterial amendments made to tt by the committee. Senator Benedict, also of the same committee, agrees on 4 this point with Wood. On Monday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Com- mittee of Seventy are to have another hcaring in full force before’ the Senate Comunttce, with a last hope of amending the bill. In the Senate this morning the only discus- sion of interest was upon Senator Murphy’s bill to allow aliens to buy and convey real estate.

Amendments proposed by Mr. Lowery insert the word “resident! before “alien,’” A CITY RAILROAD FROM A COUNTRY MEMBER, Senator Chatfield, of Tompkins county, gave notice of a city railroad bill to-day.

G, Reed and John Nichol, THE RECESS. A resolution providing that-when the Senate ad- journed to-morrow it be to meet again Monday evening was passed. It possibly smothers for good the recess proposition of the House. A great many Senators are anxious to attend the inaugu- ration; the Lieutenant Governor has determined to go anyhow, and a number of others will proba- bly be there on the 4th of March, although there is now but small chance of the customary ten days’ recess. In the ten years of Chief Clerk Dayton’s service in the Senate the failure to take a recess has occurred but once before, WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS BEFOKE THE JUDICIARY COM- MITTEE.

THE QUESTION OF THE RECESS was suddenly sprung upon the lower House this evening. It was rumored late in the afternoon that if Mr. Pierson attempted to call up hts con- current resolution for ten-day adjournment the Speaker would not entertain it, It so happened to-night that Mr. Alberger was in the Speaker's chair when Mr. Husted made a motion that when the House adjourn to-morrow it adjourn to Monday evening. Mr. Van Cott at once offered as an amendment that the Legislature adjourn to March 10, Alberger entertained the amendment, where- upon the Speaker got the floor and made a point of order that the resolution amended being concurrent it had to lie over under the rules, Alberger decided that the amendment was to be looked upon simply as an amendment, and declared the Speaker's point not well taken. During the discussion which then followed the Speaker went up to the desk and reclaimed his seat, and shortly afterwards called prince to the chair and then again went down on the floor. When his name was reached in the call of the yeas and nays he begged to be excused from voting, and then WENT FOR ALBERGER IN LIVELY STYLE for having ruled, as he claimed, wrongly. He was quite pointed in his remarks, and finally closed by withdrawing his excuse and voting “‘No.”’ Alber- ger rose to a question of privilege shortly aiter- wards and replied to the Speaker. He declined, he said, to be lectured by his friend from New York, and while contending that dis ruling had been right and proper he hinted that the rulings of the Speaker had a.ready not been always just what they snould have been, but that he, for the sake of harmony, had overlooked them, The Speaker then rose and said he had not intended to offend Mr, Alberger by anything he had satd, and if he had offended he was very sorry for it and offered an apology then and there. The amended resolution Was carried by a vote of 59 to 47. It was SENT TO THE SENATE AT ONCE, but was rather roughly used there. When it was read Woodin move@ to jay it on the table. This would have been its destination in the regular pro- cess of business; but there was a distinction be- tween having it laid there by Woodin’s resolution and having it laid there naturally, It will now take a vote of the Senate to call it up again. Woodin to-night declared that there should be no recess until the charter was passed. The Lieu- tenant Governor, whe wants to goto the inaugura- tion, was lobbying for the passage of the resoiu- tion all ma . Senator Johnson to-morrow will call up HIS TWEED RESOLUTION and press it toa vote. He is in the investigating mood, and when his inquiry 1s fairly under way he proposes to show up one or two other heavy cor- Pporations, not only railroad but steamship. THE SEVENTH KEGIMENT ARMORY. The Senate Committee on Cities lave agreed to report adversely on the bill granting part of Reser- voir Park to the Seventh Regiment for an armory, A Very lively discussion in the Senate to-night turned op THE EXEMPTION OF A MASONIC LODGE, in Utica, from taxation. Senator Lowery introduced | the bill, and became rather sore at the persistent | attacks made on the principle from all sides alike by Masonic and anti-Masonic Senators. Johnsen denounced the brotherhood, and reiterated the vid | “Morgan” story of forty-five years ago, The bill | was progressed without a vote being taken on the question of taking out the exemption clause. ‘ CHARGES OF MALFEASANCE. A delegation from the Committee of Fifty of Brooklyn called on the Governor to-day and tiled charges of malfeasance in office, &e., against Dis- trict Attorney Britton. There are eleven charges | in the bill filed. Mr. Backhouse, on the part ot the committee, urged a speedy consideration of the charges. INTERCESSION FOR FOSTER, Foster's counsel arrived here to-day, with several other New York gentlemen, to intercede for the prisoner before the Governor. The Constitutional Commission.
