LONDON, September 27.-No official adviocs have been received from Madrid since Friday. The following accounts como from other sources : The revolution in Spain is the result of a union of th? constitutional, moderate and liberal parties in their efforts to overthrow toe reigning dynasty. The fleet has joined the movement because it was unpaid, and the . greater part of the army because of the exila of | their favorite generals. The church, bound by every tie to the Queen, resists and holds the masses in check. The insurrection extends throughout the provinces of Cadiz, Seville, Cor? dova, Eueivo, Grenada, Talencia, Alicante, Al gesiras, Malaga, Vigo, Ferrel, Corunna, Togo no, Almena and Oveido, and many armed bands have appeared io the provinces of- Huesca, Saragossa and Navarre. General Pavia bad ar? rived in the vicinity of Cordova, but his troops were deserting in large numbers, and he was obliged to .atop his march and wait for rein - forcements from Badajos and Ciudad Beal, which, at last accounts, bad not y reached him. Tbe province of Biscay has sent tr GO PB to San Sebastian for the protection of the Queen. In Andalusia the telegraph wires have been cut and railroads torn up. Official journals at Paris, reflecting the feel? ing of tbe Emperor, are apprehensive of the effect of a great revolution to near France, and seek in their leading editorials to discourage the movement, but it it generally believed here that the r?volution will be successful, and will result in the expulsion of the Bourbons from Spain, and probably the accession of Duke de Montpelier to the Spanish throne. A dis? patch from Paris says General Prim, with a fleet of iron-clads, was expected at Barcelona yesterday. EBEN CH EEPOETS FBOM SPAIN.

Misleading Statistics-What are the Pilares ! TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK WORLD. NEW YORK, September 25.-Sir : The cotton crop of the Unitod States is always a subject of general interest, and to those whoso busi? ness is in the staple, one of special interest. The annal statement mado np to tho 1st inst, lead to the to?lowing sugg istiona relative to the comparative supply of 1867 and 1868, and especially to tho uncertain and unsatisfactory manner of estimating th? production and home consumption of the year just ended : 13C7. 1868. By the New York Price Current's statements of Au.rast 81, tho stocks of cotton at the ports august 31,1866, and August SI. 1867, were.Bales.. 28?.G92 80.30; Receipts at the ports.1,951,988 2,439,893 Takeu for consumption not couuteJ in above receipts. 280,672 108,3-18 Compir : tive supply in bales.2,516,852 2,679,567 Disposed of se follows: Exports, foreign.1,553,345 1,651,626 Taken from the ports for home consumption. 573,367 799,817 Takeu for consumption not from the ports. 280,672 168,348 Burnt at New York, Mobile, cc. 13,673 2,348 Msnuiactured in Virginia, t. 15,0t0 20,000 Stoci remaining at the ports A U gust 81, 1867, and August 31, 1868. 80,296 37,398 Total.2,516.352 2,079,537 This would make tne supply of 1868,163.185 bales more than of 1867, provided the cou au mo? tion is correctly estimated, which, as appeals to us, seems very doubtful from the following data: In the Price Current statement of 1866-7, the deliveries from Tennessee, etc., are charge 1 with 49,000 bales manufactured OD the Ohio, and 75,000 bales manufactured :n Pennsylva? nia, New Tork, &o. For these 124 000 bales there is no correa ponding charge in the state? ment of 1867-8. To reconcile the two state? ments, therefore, as to "receipts at the ports," these 124.000 bales should be added to 1,951,988 for 1866-7, and make 2,075,988, or they should be deducted from 2,430,893 for 1867-8, and leave 2,306,893. If, therefore, the statement was made up for 1867-8 on the same basis it was for 1866-7, it would show an excess of receipts for 1867-8 of 354,905 bales, instead of 2,430,893 against 1,951,988, or an apparent excess of 479,905 bales. Again, the statement for 1867 made tho hose consumption from tho ports 573.367, and fron the interior 280,672;, to? gether, 854,039 bales. For the same year this has been altered in the statement or 1868, by adding the 124,000 bales before referred to, to the takings from the porta, and deducting it from the interior consumption, calline; it con? somption from the ports 697,367, and from the interior 156,672, but making the same total viz: 8?4,03l) bales. The change, however, seems to throw a doubt upou the correctness ot the estimates which had been made of the consumption "on the Ohio, in Pennsylvania, New York, ?tc," and it upsets the statement of j 1,951988 bales- as tho crop at tbe ports for 1866-7, without showing what became, in such case, of the 124,000 bales. The statement makes tho home consumption of 1867-8 as from tho ports 799,817, and iron the interior 168,848, together 968.Mw bales (and 20,000 bales are added ' for consumption in Virginia; in all, 988,165 bales). In the statement of 1867-6 (the last ono), Virginia is charged with receipts 187,487 bales, with this remark : "The large items of Vir? ginia receipts will arrest too attention of all concerned in the cotton trade, for while tho growth of the State has not probably exceoded 30,000 balea, ber shipments and consumption are placed by our statement at 187,487 bolos most of it coming inland from South Carolina, North Carolina, and East Tennessee, and not otherwise accounted for." Can the compiler give us authority tor bow much came from each of the plac. s namod, and at tho same time prove that much of it may not have been counted in hi? statement more than once ? Again: / Hales. Bales. Memphis, Nashville, other places ill Tennesse, Kentucky, Ac., and crop ol Illinois. Indiana, Missouri, ic. are charged with. 418,317 And credited with shipments to New Orleans. 71,855 Stock in Memphis and Nashville. 1,603 Received et New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Portland and Boston, overland from Tennessee, &o.204,337 277.794 Would leave. 170.633 In these two items last stated-Virginia and Memphis-estimated to have received consid? erably more than one-quarter of the whole crop there are 358.010 bales (supposing the 204,337 hales correctly accounted for), about which there may be serious mistakes; the radi cal error ig in charging "homo consumption" all that remains of receipts, positive and esti? mated, after deducting exports and stocks. It is very manifest that we have no clear and definite data upon which to determine the cot? ton crop of the Uoited States. The railroads through tho cotton-growing State?, to west? ward and eastward, have so mucti changed tho mode of transportation as to render it far more difficult than formerly to couutnho crop cor? rectly; and this may be an increasing difficulty, rendering mero ti ansit cottons liable to dupli? cate count at railroad changes and tranship? ments. The Chronicle also makes an annual cotton statement, in which for the year 1867-6 the home consumption is computed at 835,015 bales (103,150 bales less than the Prioo Cur? rant), and endeavors to prove itself correct by returns of consumption to the National Asso? ciation of Cotton Manufacturers. These re? turns are stated to bo from 475 mills, 5,139, 602 spindles, which consumed 695,964 bales. The milla from which no returns had boen re? ceived E.ro estimated at 1 200 OOO spindles. If these consume in tho samo tatio as thc 5,139, 602 spindles, tboy would take 162.494 bales, and make an aggregate consumption of 858,458 bales. The statementsiof tho Pnco Current and the Chronicle for 1867-8 compare as fol? lows: Price Current. Chronicle. Bales. Bales. Exports.1,651,626 1,657,016 Home consumption. 988,165 885 015 Burnt, Aa. 2,348 1 8?0 Stocks, Sept. 1, 1868. 37 398 38,230 . Total.2,679,637 2,682,150 Deduct stocks, Sept. 1,18C7.... 80,296 83,155 Making the two estimates of crop.....2,599,241 2,498,995 The Chronicle 100,246 bales less than the Pr.ce Current. If we take the statement as per tne National Association of Cotton Manu? facturers as the basis of home consumption, it would make the crop 126,803 bales loss than tho Price Current's estimates. Both tho Prince Current and Chronicle have, doubtless, aimed at accuracy, but tho comparative figures prove clearly what we contend for. viz: tho fallacy of statements made largely upon estimates, in? stead ot positivo data, and of charging a par? ticular item (in this case, "homo consump? tion"), whatever may bo necessary to balance the accounts. And the data should be such as to mako thc weekly statistics really as correct as the annual- -not leave them astray so that when the weekly como to be compiled for the year (W. P.Wright ACo.'a for instance) 245, 000 bales have to be added as "corrections." However opinions may differ, in the absence of positive or reliable statistics, it seems to us difficult to believe the home consumption of j 1867-6 amounted to 858,458 bales, not to speak of 988,165 bales. The largest consumption was in 1859-60 estimated at 972,643 bales (of tho largest crop over made, say 4,669.770, more than double tho last croo, if estimated on similar basis), if the tradeof the whole country, foreign as well as domestic, was in the fullest tide of prosperity, compared to which wo sup Eose tho trade of last year in cotton io have eon upon a greatly diminished scale. The commerce of the world has an important interest in correct statistics relative to the pro? duction of raw cotton. In all the rapid in? crease, as by tho Price Current, our foreign export has not been increased to the extent of 100,000 bales, while home consumption hai in? creased 114.000 bales. If thii be 60, the hope of Manchester of future supply from th?8 coun? try cannot by any means be for an increase comparable to our "increase of production. Be? fore tbe nar the United States held almost the monopoly of Europe iu short stapled cot? tons, having furnished seventy-five a eighty por cent, ot this kind to Great Britain (the leading market). Now that monopoly is divi? ded wi tb India, which and tho United States each furnishes about au equal half of that kind of cotton; the .United States crop being available in Europe the first six months of the year, and that of India the second. An over supply of either would naturally affect prices adversely, and a serious? ly short supply would be disastrous to the manufacturing commerce of the world. This is pertinent to the case in band (correct statis? tical information) in the fact that, since the rot urn of peace in tho United States tho annual supply of short stapled cottons, from both the United Slates and India, has not been equal to the consumption-the lessening stocks at the end of the successive years have proved ic. Nor is there, and there may not be within any reasonable future, such a reserve of raw cot? ton as to save tho trade from calamity in caso of mateiial failure of a cr jp of either India or the United States. On tho other hand, what may be called full crops of thc present day would scarcely exceed the requirements of a generally prosperous trado of the world. B. HIE POSTAL, CAR S K It VIC K. THE OLD AND THE NEW SYSTEMS-THE POSTAL CAES-CATCHING THE MAILS-OHIOIN AND EX? TENT OF THE IU1LWAT POSTAI, SEBVICE. Although still regarded as an experiment by the Postoffice Department, the new railway postal car system has become an important feature in the mail service of many of the lead? ing routes cf the United States. During tho comparatively short time it has boen in opera? tion, however, its advantages over the old system of route agencies have been fully estab? lished. Ihe object of the postal cars no ?Y running on many of the railway lines is to simplify the work of the distributing postoffices, and avert the delay in the transmission of letters that were unavoidable under the old system. How these results are accompanied cari best be shown by tracing the course orlMotter before and since the introduction of railway postal cars. THE OLD SYSTEM. Under tho old system, when a letter was posted, for Instance, at any of the small towns of Missouri on the fine of a railroad communi? cating with St. Louis, addressed to a town in Massachusetts, near Boston, it was sent by the local postmaster with tbe miscellaneous East? ern mail and forwarded to St. Louis, the near? est distributing office. There it lay over night, during which time it was rebagged with matter for the next distributing office, which was probably Chicigo. At thia place the loss of several hours at least was necessary, da? ring which time the Eastern mail was* again overhauled. The letter was then bag?od with matter forwarded to the New York distributing office, where several hours more were lost in getting it ready for the dis? tributing office at Boston. At this last named oity it was finally seut to ita final destination. The delays mentioned at tho several principal offices between its starting place find nu al des? tination were unavoidable. It would hare been impossible for any of the Western cities to make up bag: for evory town and village of the Eastern States; and as there wt a no way of finally classifying the 'lotter until it reached the distributing office nearest to ita destina? tion, the frequent resorting of the miscellane? ous Eastern mail, of which it formed a part, waa indispensably necessary. In consequence cf those detention*, at least two days were lost in the transmission of the letter from Missouri to Massachusetts. It was to avoid these de? lays and relieve tbe distributing offices of the work of handling so much miscellaneous mat? ter, that postal oars wero originally establish? ed. THE NEW SYSTEM. Supposing the letter to bo posted under the present arrangements ot the Postoffice Depart? ment, the history of its course is very different. Tho local postmaster makes up a bag contain? ing the Eastern mail, and places it wu iro it will be caught by tbe mail train passing over the road in that direction. As soon as it is token into the car it is opened a id its contents sort? ed. Letters tor way iitations aro bagged so os to be thrown off at tho proper places, and the others are classified according to the general direction of their route. The letter we aro tracing would be placed in a pouch addressed to the mail agent on the postal car of tho road connecting with Ahe one oo which it first start? ed. Instead of being detained at St. Louis for distribution, it is immediately transferred from one train to the other and started on its way to Chicago. While on the road to that city the mail is sorted, and letters for tho East? ern States are made up and addressed to the mail agent running between Chicago and Buffalo. It is immediately transferred to his car. and on the way to New York bagged for tho Boston distribution, where it ia forwaid ed to its ultimate destination. By thia moans the letter from Missouri to Massachusetts, passes all tho distributing offioas without stopping, as formerly. Connections between the trams aro never misied.by tho agents, ex? cept in case of accident; and instead of losing two days on the road, the letter is transmitted by the fastest express trains as rapidly os it could be carried by a special messenger. The connectons are made vory close on the princi? pal roads between tho Wost and Emt, and scarcely an hour is lost by avoidable d .-.ayn. This brior comparison between the .'.cual workings of tho two systems will se**vu to ?now tho advantages derived by no i?abuc from tho introduction of postal cns. J he eaving or time on long transits, However, is only a part of tho benefits derived from tho new system. The reception and delivery of local mails be? tween towns and villagos along the road, ac? complished without slacking the speed of tho train, is an invaluable accommodation, affoid ing moro rapid and frequent communication between the various small postofficos than could otherwise be enjoyed. THE POSTAL CAES. Tbe outside of a postal car is similar in ap? pearance to an ordinary baggage car, while thc inside resembles a miniature distributing post office. At one end aro pioced ibo compart? ments for letters, each bearing thc name of a local or distribution offico. In sorting the mails tho letters are boxed according to their addresses, tied up and bagged, in order to save the unnecessary labor of handling each separately a second or third time. In trout of these boxes are convenient tables for the uso of those engaged in the work of sorting,which is performed rapidly and accurately by tho ex? perienced men employed in this brauch of the service. At the other end of tho car are the boxes for newspapers, which ore made up in separate sacks. Many thousand of tbeso arc daily forwarded to subscribers by the postal cars, and their assorting forms au important part of tho clerks' labors. On tho long routes, such os tho Eric Rood, botweou New York and Buffalo, tho work pertormed on the cars is very great, and occupies tho dorks from early morn? ing until late at Dight. CATCHING THE MAIL BAOS. One of the most interesting features of the Postal Cor system is tho " Catching Service,'" by wuich the mails aro taken up at tho stations alon;; thc route without checking the speed of the traine. The bag is hung ou a frame erect? ed beside the track so as to bo within reach of tho agont. On thu sido of tho car is an iron arm, which is operated by means of a handle acting as a lever. As the train approaches tho station a bag ie dropped from the cir wiudow, the arm ia thrown out and the suspended pouch is caught up and wodgod firmly against tho side of tho car in the joint of tho'V formed by tho extended iron rod. It is then immediately opened and sorted, and tho mail for tho next station is made up and placed ready to bc thrown out. This process is repeated many times along tho route, and thc constant recep? tion and delivery of mail .. adds greatly to the labors of the clerks. Sometimes baga aro miss? ed or knocked down by the arm attached to tho car, but never when they are properly suspend? ed. Tho forco with which they are jerked up by the express trains soon destroys thc bagB employed in this tervice; but, as they aro inex? pensive couvas sacks, it is a matter of slight consequence, considering the many advantages of the Bervice. OBIQIN AND EXTENT OT THE SYSTEM. In the summer of 1864 certain officers of the Postoffice Department conceived the idea that tli9 prompt transmission of mails might be greatly facilitated by having the labor of dis? tribution, which waa then performed in desig? nated offices, don? on board of the mail cars while the mails were in transit. As usual with all important reforms, the new system met with almost universal opposition during the first two years of ile operation. It was diffi? cult to find competent men to perform tho clerical duties; and even by tho Postoffice De? partment it was regarded as a costly experiment that, in the event of success, conld never be made to produce resultH commensurate to the expense of maintaining it. This opposition became so strong, teat at one time the depart? ment contemplated abandoning it as a failure; but it was finally determined to experiment awhile longer, and it bas since demonstrated it? claims to consideration as one of tbc great? est improvements evo.' made in tho postal ser vico of the country. The railway postal service is now in opera? tion on seven thousand thrco hundred and forty-five miles of railroad in the United States. On one thousand and three miles of this double daily servico is performed; malting a total of eight thousand thrco buudral and forty-eight miles, and requiring tho employment of two thousand and sixty-uino postal clerks, on sala? ried varying from nine hundred to fourteen hundred' dollars per annum. There is a con? tinuous line storting from Portland, Ms., via Boston, New York and Washington, to Weldon, N. C. There are also in successful operation postal cars from Chattanooga to Memphis, and Chattanooga to Atlanta. These carry thc extensive mails passing in those directions, distribute and send them to every point of the South and Woot without detention. Mew Voris Clerks. WHAT THE? AUB REQUIRED TO DO AMD DOW THEY LIVE. The New York correspondent of thc Provi? dence Press describes the life of the clerks in that city: Seme ot' tbe establishments have as many as t v o hundred clerks in their emplcy. 1 hey are expected to dress well, to keep up with the fashions, so as to bo in keeping with the gene? ral style bf things about tbe m. They must be at business promptly at 8 o'clock ia the morn? ing, a stiict account being kept of any failure to do so, which is reported by the head of tho department to the general manager. All the day loner they are kept on their feet, under watchful eyes, and with a multitude of details to attend to; and at noon they must hurry ont for a hasty lunch and be book os soon as possi? ble, riving the day through until 7 or 8 o'clock at night. In the busy season they are liable to be worked until ll or 12 o'olock at night; and in the dull season, which comes on the city often enough, they are just os liable to be dis? charged at a week's notice, even though they luve been years in thc house, and been faith? ful in every way. It is a well-known fact that New York mer? chants care nothing for the interests of their clerks; and the larger and more prosperous the house, the more anxious it is to save a few dollars by cutting down hands in dull times. The supply of clerks is always so large that at the approach of busy days they can easily fill up again. With tho exception of men who bring trade, and are engaged by contract, no clerk is sure of his place beyond the passing week. And for it ali what salary is reoeived ? By careful search through all branches of trade, it is found the average is not over fif? teen dollars a week, falling in some, yes m many casos, far below that, and rising, in a few ex? ceptions, Jar above. Thus the head bookkeeper of a prominent Broadway house gets a salary of thirteen thousand dellars, whi e under him ate no lees than six men, having the brunt of the work to do, who aro paid three dollars a day. There are menin other houses who en? joy princely incomes, because they have drawn one of tho prices of trade; they have a trade of their own, which brings in large sums to their employer; they are poid for their work with unstinted hand. But all around them aro men without this special advantage, though compe? tent, who are barely getting a living. Go into other lines of business. An entry : clerk in a great grocery, or produce, or tea house, is thought well paid, for the first few years at lease, with five hundred salary. Ho must bc a crack pensman, and devote himself Uk? a dray horse to business, even to retain tho po.-ition, where, as in this overcrowded ci'y, so many are cager to Ret it. A young friend of mino worked six years in ene wealthy commission house, giving night and day to the affairs, hoping each season, os be saw his services wore wor.h more than he was getting, that tho firm would raise his salary. At last his efficient business quality atttacted the attention of a rival company, who offered him a Jorge advance. Ho announced his intention of leaving his employer, who then woko up to his value, and told him he could not spare him, and wanted him to name the sslary he wished. And this is a fair sample of thc mercantile style in Now York. The clerks in banks aro woll paid, well treat? ed, and oftentimes are provided with dinners free. lu fact, some of the banks get up daily a luxurious dinnor for their clerks, serving it hot and nico m tho back parlor or other room provided for the purpose. These fortunates also receive a eemi-\ early gift from ibo bank for faithful servie?, ranging from fifty to three hundred dollars. And, as might be supposed, there are five hundred applicant3 for every va caney that occurs. . -Midshipman Edward D. Taussig, of th3 United States steamer Wateroe, writes a graphic account of the earthquake in South America. Ile volunteered to taite command ot a boat which put off from the Wateroo to pick up a man who was seen drifting by that ship on a muss ot earth and weeds, but was caught by the tidal wave and prevented from returning. Finally his buat waB thrown against tho Poru vian c?rvotto America, and he got ashore in x curious fashion. They boarded tho corvette in a tremendous sea, but not before their boat had been dashed to pieces and sunk under them while they clung to the ropes. Hardly had they touched the deck before the vessel groundod, while tho sea broko over her fear? fully. The crew was crazy with liquor a?.d clamoring for moro. Thc captain bad been diowncd a few moments before, and tho first lieutenant could rot moke his voice heard above the roar of the waves and the wailing and crying of his crew, until he finally gave it up in despair and wept. Two ol the masts wero carried away, the sea continually breaking over tho ship, when suddenly the water rece? ded and tbey wore left on the band. They de? scended, joined hands in two ranks, and ran for life inland. Tue return of the nea caught them again, bu; not rushing with great veloci? ty it did no harm, and alter running half a mile they were sale. The tidal wave by mea? surement was forty-two feet high.

On tho contrary, lt is a combination of delicate tissues and fibres, which arc exquisitely sensitive to atmospheric changes, and, UDless pro? tected against sudden and violent variatio s of tem? p?rature by wise precautions, are sure to be disas. tronsly affected by them. At this sea-on the difference botween the tempera? ture of nlgbt and day ls greater than at any other period of the year, and the stomach, the liver, the bowels and the nervous sys'tm are apt to receive violent shocks from those changes, resulting in iii' digestion, bilious attacks, debility, low nervous fevor, fever and ague, remittent f-jver. kc. Sustain and leinforco these organs, thereto; e, with the pur? est and most potent of all vegetable tonics and alteratives, vii: HOSTET!ER'S STOMACH BIT? TERS. The. effect of this matchless invigorant is to brace up the whole vital organization, and regola-e its action. Useful at all seasons as a means of pro? moting perfect digestion, an even and natural flow of bile, and a healthy condition of thc bowels and the skin, it is especially necessary in the fall when the complaints arising from checke.1 perspiration are so common. It is found, by those who are n tho habit of using this agreeable and unequalled tonic, that it so strengthens and fortifies the body as to render it proof against the morbid influences which infect the air during the prevalence of epi? demics. 6 September 26 ??WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU ? This is tho familiar question put to every invalid. In many cases the answer Is, "I don't know exactly, but I don't feel well." Look at thc countenance o the man or woman who makos this reply, and you will generally And that the eyes are dull and lustre? less, the complexion sallow, thc cheeks flaccid, and tbe whole expression of the face dejected. Interr?? gale the invalid more closely, and you will discover tint constipation, the result of a disordered stomach and a torpid liver, is at the bottom of tho mischief. "That's what's the matter."
