The resolutions on the Spanish Constitution of 1812, given in
our paper last week, were adopted by a rather numerous meeting at the Crown and Anchor, on Monday. Colonel Thompson presided, and addressed the meeting at some length. Mr. Ruthven, was the only other Member of Parliament present ; and one of the speakers, a Mr. Duffey, was very indignant at the absence of Dr. Bowring, Mr. Hec- tor, and Mr. Warburton, who were expected to have attended. A Mr. Muirson read some very absurd passages from a document which he called "An Outline of a New Constitution" to be submitted to the British nation. The abrogation of Kingly authority, and the laws of primogeniture and entail, and the establishment of a National As- sembly, to be chosen under a system of universal suffrage and the ballot, were the principal features of Mr. Muirson's "constitution."
Thiee sons of the late Mr. Rothschild took their stand on Wednes- day in the place for so many years occupied by their father on 'Change, for the first time since the death of the great capitalist ; and the an- nouncement was made that the business will be conducted as hereto- fore under the firm of Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sons.
