-The following from the French paper, pub
lished at New York, the Courier des Etats
U.iis, may prove of interest to our readers.
The writer is a Spanish Liberal :
The Queen of Spain is rather under thirty-
eight years of age, but she looks much older.
She has a trait common to th“ Bourbon fami
ly. all of whose members pass from their first
.youth to mature age without any other transi
tion than a rapid increase of tlesh and pre
mature wrinkles. It is a race that grows old
suddenly. In the point of size, Queen Isabel
la is large to grossness, has a short nose slight
ly retrousse, small blue eyes, chesnut hair and
a Dice whose high color indicates an over-iu-
dultrence of the appetite. Her voice is strong,
slightly rough and nearly masculine. Her man
ners brusque and familiar. She is a zealous
amateur artist. and embroiders to perfection.
She has no taste for anything useful—whether
it be for letters, the finearts, or industrial pur
suits. She dresses richly, as a Queen should,
but as a Queen who is always wearing a Sun
il qv dress. Her manner of living is pleasant
but not healthy. After retiring she nevor ris
es until late in the morning—eats a heavy
breakfast between one and two o’clock, and at
four usually goes to miss. Towards evening
she promenades on that part of the Retiro which
has been reserved to her u>e, and sometimes
in the walks most frequented iu the prome
nade ot Madrid. On Saturday she goes to prav
in the B tsillica d’Atoehu. Usually, when she
leaves the Palace, it is in a richly mounted
and gorgeously decorated coach drawn by six
horses, with an escort of cavalry, arid follow-
I ed by from four to six other grand coaches,
j drawn by mules and resembling the coaches
of the Cardinals at Rome. At dark the Queen
| returns to the Palace, and enjoys her meal
j with as much appetite as in the morning.—
Sometimes she goes after this to the opera,
where she is always attended by the inevita
ble cortege of cavalry, coaches, mules and de
corated lacqueys, wearing immenS’e cocked
hat.-, like those of the running footmen of the
Papal Court.
After the opera the Queen piesides at the
Council of Minister. Subsequently, at a pri
vate Camarilla, and finally she is free and dis
appears. Courtiers and functionaries who are
obliged to conform to the ceremonial of kiss
ing the hand of the Queen, find it by no means
a pleasant duty. In spite of all their respect
for their sovereign, the courtiers know well
that the gracious hand ot their gracious Queen
is short, puffy and slightly scaly—the rough
ness being caused by a cutaneous affection
which has thus far proved very rebellious to
medical treatment
For the rest, the contrast between the Queen
and the King is most striking. She has mas
culine manners, he feminine. She speaks in a
loud, rougish contralo voice, he in a falsetto.
She loves violent exercise, he fears to mount
a horse. The writer adds, with sly sarcasm .*
“ These contrasts, however, disappear alto
gether, and are wholly effaced in their chil
dren.”

out of the way on that day, particularly as he
was drunk, and as he (the Sheriff) appears to
have apprehended so much trouble from the
crowd, and the excitement existing among the
citizens of th- place.
For a full understanding of the occurrences
from the time the Sheriff met the crowd ad
vancing or* the road to town, until the firing
commenced and its results. I respectfully call
attention to file enclosed affidavits of both cit
izens of Camilla and persoms who went there
to attend the meeting.
As far as it was possible to learn, the ca-u- j
allies on that day were as follows : nine killed j
(colored) from twenty-five to thirty wounded, j
(colored ) several slightly ; six citizens of Ca- I
miila (white) wounded ; none severely.
From the enclosed statements of parties
present, it will be seen that the firing in town
did not continue many minutes, but that th -
colored people fled to the adjoining woo ls
and that they were pursued 1 y the citizens. .-3
ture render imperitive my absence from the ci

£ gladly avail myself of this opportunity to
express my continued hearty sympathy with
the Democratic cause, and my wishes—ardent
wishes—for the success of those constitutional
principles for which the recent war was under
taken by the North. Separated as I thus arn
from the distinguished soldier who has been
chosen as the loader of our opponents, I know
that you agree with meiri the highest respect
for the services he lias rendered our country ;
but it is mv .iivictii n lh.it the measures of
the pniv which has placed him in nomination
arc but continuations of strife, and can never
restore p ace or constitutional supremacy, and
thereby complete the work that he and other
brave soldiers so nobly commenced.
The war was only the first epoch in the his-
1 ry of struggles in which we have been long
engaged. The work of the soldier is, I trust,
forever ended, and it now remains for the peo
ple to fulfill the great object for which they or
