SPAIN.—FRIDAY.—It is quite evident that the in- surrection in Spain is making way, notwithstanding the efforts of the Government, to conceal the truth. It is officially asserted that the Republican bands in Anda- lusia and Catalonia have been routed, and that the insurrection may now be considered as vanquished." On the other hand, however, it appears that the Republic was proclaimed on Wednesday at Gandesa la Carolina and other places, that a body of insurgents has started from Tortosa, headed by the mayor, and that the alleged defeat of the rebels in Reus is not confirmed. The law suspending the Constitution was promulgated on Tues- day. During the debate on the measure in the Cortes Admiral Topete said that when the proper moment arrived he should energetically support the candidature of the Duke de Montpensier. Senor Castelar con- demned the endeavour to raise an Italian Prince to the throne of Spain. The Republican minority retired from the Chamber before the vote took place, General Prim urged them to remain in a speech partly of en- treaty and partly angry, intimating that he should regard them as enemies, and that he would meet iron with iron, force with force. Senor Castelar said they might reconsider their determination in deference to judicious counsels, but they would never yield to threats. SATURDAY.—The official despatches published by the Spanish Government affirm that the insurgents are everywhere making their submission to the authorities. The volunteers have been disarmed in all the capital towns of the provinces except Madrid itself, where they have been allowed to retain their arms because they expressed a desire to maintain public order. Intelli- gence derived from non-official sources gives a somewhat different account of the progress of the insurrection. At La Carolina the Republicans are constructing barricades, and preprring for a determined resistance. At Trubix a band of insurgents have seized a manufac- tory of arms and carried off a number of rifles. Martial law has been proclaimed in the provinces of Catalonia, Aragon, Old Castille, Andalusia, Valencia, and Corunna. In Madrid itself the inhabitants have been warned by the police to arm such of their servants as they believe to be faithful, in order to defend their houses in case a riot should break out." At the same time, special precautions are taken to protect against surprise the offices of the Ministry of the Interior, the possession of which would give the insurgents the command of the telegraphs. MONDAY.—The news from Spain confirms the im- pression that the insurgents were gathering strength. While the official reports continue to proclaim the triumph of the Government in all directions, it is quite clear that the Republicans have made a determined resistance at Valencia, Saragossa, and elsewhere. Several Republican deputies are reported to be organ- ising fresh bands in Alicante and Andalusia. Great alarm prevails in Madrid. The Garrison was reviewed on Saturday by General Prim. TUESDAY.—The Spanish telegrams published this morning scate that desperate fighting" is still going on at Valentia, where the Government has sent fresh rein- forcements of troops. In the suppression of the out- break at Saragossa on Saturday there is said to have been i, much bloodshed, the artillery having played heavily upon the insurgents." Two of the insurgent leaders, Cabecillo and Carbajal, have been shot at Ibi. The Government troops are said to have had further successes in Andalusia, Aragon, and other places. The conduct of seventeen deputies of the Republican party who are at the head of insurgent bands has been brought under the notice of the Cortes, and it is anticipated that, after conviction by the tribunals, they will be expelled from the Assembly. Deputy Suner has been abandoned by his partisans, and has taken refuge in France, and Deputy Saler has been killed at Saragossa. Senor Cas- telar has been threatened with assassination by Repub- lican fanatics," and has gone to Portugal. Fears are said to be entertained of disturbances in Madrid, but any rioting, it is thought, would be instantly quelled, as the garrison numbers 10,000 troops.

LLANDOVERY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.…
farmer—for I always consult Mr Davies, of Ystrad- walter, when I meet with any difficulty-I would say to tenant farmers who are anxious to improve the breed of cattle, "0Iect the animal that has a good frame." (hear, hear). Mr II Morgan, Llwyn, who was louldy called for, said—This is the second time you have heard my fiddle at work to-night (laughter). I feel great pleasure in being able to stand in this position to- day, especially as I only competed for a special prize (hear, bear), I feel very proud at being successful, especially as I had to compete with such formidable Dersons as Mr Davies, of Ystradwalter, and Mr Gwynne Vaughan, (hear hear, and laughter) I hope that the suggestion that we shall have prizes amongst our- selves will be carried into effect in future years (hear, hear). Mr Lewis, Llwyndewi-I am very glad to find that the show is improving. Last year I thought I would not exhibit again because the black cattle were so badly represented. In fact Mr Williams, of Brownhill, and 'myself were the only two exhibitors in that department. I am however glad to-day to meet with some who possess such good stock as you have seen in the yard. t think it is a very good plan of Mr Jones's to give pmes for calves (hear, hear.) We breeders of black cattle have been accustomed to neglect our calves, and are too fond of the dairy. Our wives see that they can get eighteen-pence a pound for butter in the spring of the year, so they say they cannot afford to eive any more milk to the calves (hear, hear, and laughter.) The consequence is, that the calves are perhaps weaned when they are only six weeks or two months old (hear, hear.) I think we ought to feed our calves better but in the long run, if we balance our accounts, we should find that we got as much by our black cattle as Mr Daviea or Mr Morgan gets—(laughter.) Though Mr Morgan carried the prize for the best cow, I think tny black cows can beat her (laughter.) I have heard that the Hereford cows are good milkers, but I don't believe anything of the kind (A voice Mr Morgan's is an exception,—laughter.) Many farmers make 140 lbs of butter from a black cow in the season (hear, hear.) Considering all this, I think I shall not change my blacks for the Herefords (hear, hear.) Mr Davies, Ynysau, briefly acknowledged the toast in Welsh. Mr James, Llwynjack, who spoke in Welsh, said be agreed with Mr Lewis, that they ought to take better care of their calves, for their cows did very well. He was very glad to see the small farmers take such interest in these proceedings. It was no doubt a very wise rule to pre- vent Mr Davies, of Ystradwalter, and Mr Morgan, of Llwyn, from taking the prizes in the show yard, and he was glad to find that they had as much as they could do in the department for dairy produce (laughter). If his friends would only look after the black cattle those gentlemen would have just as much difficulty to carry off the palm in the show yard as they now had in the dairy (laughter). Mr Williams, Cefnllan, said he was very glad to see such a successful meeting. His land was inferior to that of many of the other exhibitors, but he had never- theless taken a few prizes. He did not bring his stock to the yard for the sake of the prize, but for the com- petition, though at the same time he was quite pleased to get the money (laughter). The Chairman—There was so many ready to reply to the last toast that I thought some time would elapse before they came to an end (laughter). Looking at the number of those who patronised the black cattle to-day, I must say that they were behind those who exhibited coloured cattle, so far as numbers are concerned. I hope that those who have black cattle will next year till up the yard and compete in large numbers for the prizes offered by the society (heir, hear). The gentlemen whose health we have just drunk, would not have been called upon had it not been for the labours of those to whom I now wish to call your attention—namely, the judges (cheers). It cannot be expected that everybody should approve of the decision of judges, but I hope and believe that to-night there are very few dissenting voices (hear, hear). I hope the judges will get up and describe the faults and merits of the competing animals —the merits of those to whom they awarded the prizes and the faults of those whom they passed by (che ers). Mr Powell, of Cefntrenfa, the judge of green crops, said-I have not been a judge of cattle, but I have had a hard task to judge that plant whi^h has given a relish to the beef this evening (laughter). It was really a difficult task to decide which was the best turnip crop. I went over eleven fields, and had no rule whatever to guide me (hear, hear). I founded my decision upon the weight of the crop, its cleanliness, and the distance between the tubars and the drills (hear, hear). I took great pains, bringing with me a small scales for the purpose of weighing the turnips. I weighed several square yards, and made some notes of what I observed. The result of my observations on the dif- ferent farms is as follows:—X euadd-fach farm-The crop regular, kept clean, but the singling very bad. Weight of square yard Hilbs. Talgarth fa.rm-A very regular crop, kept clean, the distance on the whole very good. Weight or square yard 171 bs. Cefti;,efol farlu- A clean and regular crop, with the singling not so good. Weight of square yard lSlbs. Hetillvs farm—A pro- lific crop, kept clean, but the singling not so good as it ought to have been. Weight of square yard 2-ilb,. Henllys-fach farm—The crop very regular, kept clean, but the distance between the tubars not proper. Weight of square yard SOlbs. Llwyn farm—The crop very regular, the soil well stirred, and kept very clean, with a good distance between the tubars. Weight of square yard Jllhs. Dmywmphr y farm—A large piece on very hilly and poor ground the crop rather unequal, kept clean, with a proper distance. Weight per square yard 191bs. Brownhill farm—The crop rich, but very irregu- lar, and too little distance between drills and tubars. Weight of square yard 20lbs, Glastll-faeh farm-A very regular crop, kept clean, but the distance too little and the tubars sai ill. Weight of square yard 141bs. Cwmcawdd farm—The crop regular, kept middling clean, but the singling not so good. Weight of square yard 2Ilbs. Tonn farm-The crop very regular, the soil well stirred up, kept clean, but the distance not so good. Weight of square yard 271bs. (hear, hear). I wish to make one remark before I sit down. As to the growth of turnips it is very important that you should have soil adapted to thepurpose. Onioferiorsoil thecrops may show indications of turning out. satisfactory but unless the soil is g,oci the crop will not be a satisfactory one when it gets to maturity. I think the crop at Llwyn will weigh from 20 to 23 tons to acre now, and when they come to maturity I believe they will weigh something like 2S tons to the acre (cheers). Mr Price, jun., of Nantyrharn, responded for his father, all the other judges having left the room. He said he was exceedingly sorry that the other judges were not present to respond for themselves. No doubt if they iwere present they would give sufficient reasons for the decisions they had given. Ih did not know whether the competitors were satisfied or not, but be was sure the judges had satisfied themselves if not the competitors (hear, hear;. He had great pleasure in attending the show to-day, and at witnessing the success of the meeting. He hoped the society would go on and prosper. It (lid a great deal of good in stimulating the competitors, and would no doubt be successful, for emulation was the characteristic of every true Welshman (cheers). The Chairman-The next gentleman I wish to bring before your notice is one who is thoroughly well known to you all. Without his exertions, energy, and skill, the ,ociery would be in a very unfortunate state in fact, I doubt whether it would be in existence. He has done all in his power to promote the welfare of this meet- ing. He not only takes the trouble to write to the subscribers for their subscriptions, hut he shows what he can do himself by competing successfullj in the yard (cheers). He wishes that prizes should be awarded to gentlemen farmers. Now I think that is deserving of one or two remarks. I would rather say that any money that can be spared at present by the society should be distributed amongst the poorest classes of farmers but as it has been suggested that separate prizes might be subscribed for the gentlemen farmers, I have only to say that I have no objection to that (hear, hear). I have great pleasure in proposing the health of a gentleman who went to Manchester the other day to see what amusement he could find there, and I hope he will tell us what ho saw (laughter). I ask you to join me in drinking the health of Mr Henry Morgan, of Llwyn, the excellent secretary of this society. (The toast was moit enthusiastically received, the cheeriug being succeeded by musical honours). Mr Ilorgan-I believe I may lay claim to having licked you all, except the President, for I have spoken oftener than any of you (laughter.) I am very much obliged to Mr Holford for the very handsome manner in which he has proposed my health, and to you all for the kind way in which tLc toast has been received. I havo been asked to give you a hit of my experience at the Manchester Show. Well, what I was struck with wry forcibly^ wis the inferior show of black cattle I saw there. C'c was a prize of £ 10 offered for the best black cow, or pair of cows, I forget which now. Well, I assure you if the prize cow was vv_>rth 112, I am astonished (laughter.) When we compare the cow that took the prize at the Royal Agricultural Show of England with the bhck stork we have seen here to-day, all I say is, that we ought to bo very well satisfied (chfers.) Su f,ir as the Hereford cattle are concerned, I should not be n-hamed to show what we had here to- day with any I saw there (cheers.) What I was struck with most. in looking at tin C astlernartins, was that "'1 ''10 11 {. they were remarkablv thin and narrow, ino i on ocoii were broad, level, heavy leasts anl I he.d mtny breeders of black stock say that til V wish and de^iro and intend to cross their black cattle with Sc,)t- of LI?%,yii(io\v! is, l have no d tot, of opini m r-oa5 such a cros? would add to the sv:n:uetryanth?ri!t0odoft.hcbt?ckca.?!c (l¡ugh'or) 4(1.c -i re, -A t, in ttiy1'roui NV;tl-s up at the  ,er, I Wt-; lo [ani■ h■ at>T Show, and ?'non?t others, I was ?iafj'f) see Lord C?vdjr there amongst the Royal party. He was there when th* pr:ze cattle were lei round for tho roval iospeeii in [ saw him lo)kin<: at some short- horns first, and I thought he looked at them with a very partial eye (laughter.) The Herefords were next brought out. and he admired them, no doubt, but 1 fancied I observed a certain shrug of the shoulder (laughter.) .1 missed his lordship before the black cattle were brought out, and I concluded that he was ashamed to see them (much laughter.) But there is something to be gained by going to those places besides seeing the stock exhibited. By mixing up with strangers and interchanging ideas we learn what is considered the best methods of farming and breeding as pursued by other folk but if we remain at home all our lives we never know that there are any other folk living besides ourselves (hear, hear, and laugh- ter). There is one little thing which may seem to you very irregular. I allude to the fact that there was no report issued for last year. No doubt you may think it very irregular and very unbusiness like to issue two reports in one year. I will explain why it was that no report was issued last year. Some of the best friends of our society, living at a distance, did not feel inclined to send me post-office orders (hear, hear, and laughter). If I had seen them face to face I should no doubt have had their money, but as I did not see them I did not like to issue a report and show the world that they were in arrears. (laughter). So far so good (much laughter). I am I glad to be able to tell you that the funds of the society are in a flourishing state, for although it is an old saying it is nevertheless true, that "money makes the mare to go" (hear, hear, and laughter). There is in my hands, as treasurer, secretary, and prime talker—(much laughter)—there is, I say in my hands at present the sum of £28, as a balance in favour of the society (cheers). I am very thankful to you for drinking my health, and very happy to find that we have had so good a meeting. I will just make one remark before sitting down. I have been repeatedly asked whether Mr Sartoris was coming to the meeting and whether he had subscribed to the funds, and one person said to me to-day. I have no doubt if you had written to him he would have been here." Now, I wish to explain that I have written three letters addressed to Mr Sartoris at Llan- gennech park-an address that found him two or three months ago. Finding that I had no answer, I wrote months a,, o to Mr Rosser, his agent at Llanelly, enclosing a letter for Mr Sartoris, but I never have had an answer, I only make this explanation in order to show that if we have not had a subscription from Mr Sartoris, it is from no fault of mine (bear, hear). I should have been glad of his money and his presence, (hear, hear.) The Chairman next proposed the health of three gen- tlemen-one a representative of the oldest Welsh blood in the county, and another equally well known to them in his professional capacity, for his advice had been of great service to them in this locality for many years. He proposed the health of Capt. Lloyd, Glansevin, Mr Charles Bishop, sen., and Mr Charles Bishop, jun (the toast was received with loud cheers). Capt Lloyd, Mr C. Bishop, and Mr C. Bishop, jun., acknowledged the toast. Mr C. Bishop next proposed the health of Capt. Jones, Velindre, who responded. The Vice-chairman proposed the health of the corpor- ation of Llandovery, the toast being acknowledged by Mr Rees, Tonn, and Mr Jones M. P. The health of the strangers was proposed by the Vice-chairman, the toast being ably responded to by Mr Ball, of King- ton. Success to our next merry meeting" brought the procedings to a close. We regret that want of space prevents us from giving in full the latter portion of the meeting, which. was by no means the least interesting.
