Tais is the | world, Here bis memory is kept fresh and green ‘ever, and here his name Is revered and held tn | Veneration above that of every other saint tn the | | calendar. Everything, of course, speaks of him. | | In the Churen of Nostra Sefiora de la Saledad may | | Sebastian is piously kept the baptismal font in | which he was baptized; on the grand place is in his honor, a+ which the people from the Basque provinces flock in crowds to pay their tribute to the memory of the saint, see the freworks, take part in the dancing, applaud the buil races, and show their dexterity and agil- sanctuary of Loyola, called the wonder of Guipuz- coa—a beautiful church enclosing the part of the oid | Manor house in which the saint was boro, and built in 1683 by Anne of Austria, under the super- | vision of the Italian architect Fontana.

The town itseH is a place Of about 6,000 inhabitants, situated in the rich and | Productive ttle valley of the Urola, surrounded on all sides by mountains whose tops look down | on the sea, some ten miles distant. [tis a pretty, dreamy, quiet littie place in ordinary times, with its quaint, old-fashioned houses, projecting roofs and the golden atmosphere which seems to hang | over it, where nothing is heard more startling | | than the sound of church bells, the ring of the | Diacksmith’s hammer, or the flash of the heavy, | | slow-moving mill wheel.

CARLIST ARTILLERY. The artillery of the Carliste may now be esti- mated as follows :— ‘Ten twelve-pound Armstrong, or Woolwich, steel guns, calibre seven centimetres, Two twelve-pound Whitworth steel guns, calibre | of seven centimetres. | Seven four-pound Whitworth steel guns, calibre | seven centimetres, six nine-pound Vavaseur-Krupp steel guns, call- | bre seven centimetres, ‘two twenty-pound Vavaseur-Krupp steel guns, calibre nine centimetres. Fifteen eignt-pound brass rified Spanish gans, and about ten mortars. Not @ very formidable artillery, truly, but a very [aad beginning, when it 1# remembered that wenty Monts ag o the war was commenced by | General Ollo with twenty-seven men and success- fully carried on Up to the present moment without THR CARTRIDGE MANUFACTORY. ‘The machinery here has likewise been adapted | to the manufacture of Remington cartridges, and the greatest activity Was apparent in this depart. ment. The officer who conducted me around assured me that they were now making ut the Tate of 15,000 eae aday, he that baa | @racelui arcuitecture of the iatter, to 20,000, - | recent construction, having been erected in 1701. era Ting tok there, wee e little cxcusable | itis a kind of bastard Govmic aroultecture, neAvy exaggeration were, however, L de aot | and vemedved by the believe the machinery i saw sum. ciently complete to turn out the mumber mentioned. Besides, I counted the cartridges passing threugh one Machine per minute. It was the slowest operation of the whole thirty sequites for the completion of the cartridge, and, as it was the only machive ofthis kind, all the cartridges nad to necessarily pass torough it, They went through this machine at the rate o! ten tothe minute, which would make about 7,000 to a working day of twelve hours. itis true the machinery might be worked night and day, and the production thus doubled, bat the number of workmen I was told they had employed about the place—126—would not be suMcient for thia, It is true enough Wirk- men might be employed to run the machinery nignt as well as day, and probably they will do this a8 soon as it is fairly in working order. Bestdes the cartriage tactory here they have two others. From ail [ can learn these turn out about 15,000 between them, so that the whole number of cartridges manufactured in the provinces would be somewhere near 22,000 per day. As it will require about 60,000 per day to supply the army in the way im which Phe war is | rried on gt present the other 28,000 must neces- arily come from other countries and probably in great part from France. At any rate they have made @ very good beginning, and considering the means at their dis; , the short time that has elapsed since the Carlist atandard was raised by General Ollo at the head of twenty-seven men, their progress has been wonderful, The confict has Soneesely changed from the guerilla nature which it characterized it and is evident: assuming the proportions of a great war. Al- though Don Carlos has only about 40,000 soidiers,. prope Speaking, he has fally 75,000 under arms, while his adversaries have double the number, and are rapidiy organizing the new levies prepara- tory to renewing the attack. A series of desperate aud bloody battles may ve looked for here beiore long t{ the republican army can be induced to fight, for there is no doubt that the Cariists, nushea with victory, confident of success and en couraged by the possession of artiliery, will make & most determined and resolute resistance. Don Carlos can ouly be crushed now by @ united, con- centrated and prolonged effortof the whole of Spa acting a8 one man. ‘Spain capable of making such an effort, and all, suificientiy Doo Carlos to are the Spaniards people, after antagonistic to the principles of wish to make it? AMERICANS IN ENGLAND. 4 Duke’s Castile and an Old Cathedral— Arundel and Chichester: Boanor, Sept. 23, 1874. Within a ten mile radius of this pleasant iittie | seaside village, where I am endeavoring, tem- porarily, to get rid of the “dust ana drought” of London ife, are two old memorials of ancient English greatness, which I should recommend any | travelling American friends to visit. Indeed, they could not do better during the summer aeason than establish themselves here, where the air is Ot the freshest and purest, the provisiens of the Dest and the sea magnificent in its wide expanse, Within easy access are Brighton tor those who love gayeties, Portsmouth for those who love shipping, the Isle or Wight for those who delight in quiet marine scenery, Petworth, a purely English rurai spot, and Good- wood, with its lovely park and race course, The house is shut up just now, and Lord Henry Lennox, the Princess of Saxe Weimar, Lady | Bingham and others of tne Duke of Richmond's sisters and brothers are staying at Bognor. It ta, however, to none of these places that [ desire to invite special attention. Looking out of my win- aow over @ wide expanse—the cricket field on which the Bognor eleven display tneir activity twice & week, the stubble flelds from which the golden harvest has been cleared, and which are | Bow occasionaily resonant with the sportaman’s gun, the purple hills and the broad-shouldered Downs—I see, almost on the horizon, the new white spire of Chichester Cathedral, which, four or five years ago, was substituted for one which fell in, and placed upon & tower which was erected 150 years ago, Chichester, the capital of the county of Sussex, is, itself, an old and very interesting place. it was the Regnum of Ancient Britain and Cogidubnas, King of the Regni and Legate in Britain, and the Emperor Claudius lies buried beneath the preseut city. Excavators are constantly coming upon mosaic pavements, coins and urns in all directions, Roman tiles are frequently found, and a remark- able inscription recording the dedication of a temple of tne College of Smiths: to Neptune and Minerva, the two great patrons of handicralts- men, which was found some ceutury since at Chichester, is still preserved at Goodwood, In the days of vharies I. the city stood a ten days’ siege irom the Parliamentary troops, by whom it was subsequently taken. [t haa many Feminiscences of olden times; rumbling city walls with semi-circular towers at intervals, a huge market four princjpal streets, woich was compieted about the year 1600, and a gauildhall, which was formerly the chapel of the Grayftiars, is of early painted Gothic architecture, and ts supposed to buve bees founued avout the year 1233, But the Most interesting building o/ all is, of course, the Cathedral, which is the broadest in England ex- cept York, and which has the special peculiarity of having five aisles—a peculiarity which it shares with the Dom of Cologne, the Duomo of milan and the Catuedrai of Seville, but which is ound in no other Kngiish cathedral. It was founded by Raiph, the third Bishop, iu 1108, but owes almost more to Bishop Sefrid, who lived in tne commence- ment of the thirteenth century. Sefrid’s portion Was dedicated to the Holy Trinity, and is marked by @ certain triplicity—the side shaits are triple tarougnout the beariug shaits, and tue vaultings are clustered in threes, aud branch out Wih three triple vauiting rios above. In the Arundei chantry 01 tue north aisie is the altar tomb of Richard Fitz Allan, tourveenth Sari of Arundel, Who was beheaded ip 1397, aud bis count- ess. she Karis oi Arundel are the preseut Dukes ol Noriolk, and this tomb was removed from the Church ot the Grayiriars, Where it Was origiually erected.

At the reguiar meeting of the Board of Polies, held yesterday afternoon, Commissioner Dis- becker moved that the complaint against Oficer Fox, of the Fourteenth precinct, charged with being off post, should be dismissed. Mr. Voorhis said that in this case he would allow the matter to pass in view of some of the circumstances con- nected with it, but he thought the Board should make it understood that ofiicers were not bound ta obey superiors 1n commana when orders were given to break the rules of the department. A resolu tion was passed instructing the Superintendent to issue a general order explaining that situation te the force. Sergeant Buckley. and the roundsmap Were each fined ten days’ vay, and Sergeant Dow- dican was dismissed from the department. A resolution, originatiog with President Matsell, ‘Was introduced to discontinue the use of the police boat Seneca because of her uselessness to the de- partment, and purchase two steam jaunches with the money obtaimed through the sale. It was re- ferred to the Committee on Repairs and Supplies to report. e The Chief Clerk reported the case of OMicer Ferrell, of the Twenty-second precinct, whom Captain Killiiea tad prived of his shield, leging as a reason the man was tnsane. Mr. Haw- ley assured the Board, as also did Superintendent alling, the man was fectly sound in mind and fit for at. A comp! has been entered against the Captain. Commissioner Disbecker moved for a stable in the Whircy-third precinct. The matter was re- ferred to a committee, though Mr. Voorhis said he couid not see the use of one, as the department had no horses in that locality. SERIOUS ASSAULT, Ante-Mortem Statement of the Injured Man. On Wednesday John Bergman, o1 No. 985 Secona avenue, and Henry Gallus Wirtn, living at No, 252 East Fifty-second street, had some trouble near the residence of the latter, alter which Wirth en- tered a saloon and sat down ata table. Bergman followed and, as charged, coming up behind Wirth, seized him by the neck, knocked his head against the table three times in rapid succession, beside striking him repeatedly on the back the head with his fist, thus re- ducing his victim to unconsciousness. The Jacter has twice oxpenenced great pain in his head and nausea oi the stomach. The attending Physicians seem to think the life of their patient may be tn danger, and accordingly notified Core- ner Kessier to take his ante mortem statement, which was done. Wirth says he gave no cause for the assault, but states that he was formerly in Bergman's employ, but entered the service of another, taking some of his assatlant’s patrons balla him. Tuis probably is the secret of the matter. A verdict was rendered against Bergman, and being arrested, the Coroner required him to give bail to awatt the death or recovery of Wirth. OORONERS' CASES. On Monday night last Frank Willams, twenty- one years of age, employed as steward on board the steam propeller Christian, lying at the foot of Franklin street, North River, was accidentally drowned by falling in the dock while gotng aboard the boat. The body was recovered yesterday, and The deceased re- sided at Roadout, Ulster count, voroner Eickhom was yesterday called to No, 364 West Twenty-sixth street to hold an inquest on the body of Owen O'Connor, sixty-eight years of age, boro in Ireland, who died irom the effects of i te. received by an accidental fall on the night o1 the 8d inst. fe sustained a fracture of the cervical vertebre, which caused immediate and general paialysis.

CRUSHED TO DEATH. Coroner Croker yesterday took charge of the Case of Patrick Gilligan, the man who was crushed to death in his own nonse, adjoining the building No. 516 West Twenty-fifth street, which was burned on Thursday afternoon. The remains, which were badly mutilated, were removed to the Morgue, where they were received by tne Coroner's Jury. An inquest wiil be heid at a fuiure day.
