London, February 12-rlffc oMoek... Despatches fron Madrid are more favor? able for a peaceful solution. No dis? turbances ; of any kind.;$>rp reported. There teems to be a general disposition to support the provisional authority. The German papers hint that abdica? tion was secured by French intrigue. At midnight, the Madrid streets were crowd? ed with excited people. The Cortes, yesterday, wai the central point of i interest, and bulletin a of its proceedings Were anxiously awaited by crowds of persons in all the publio places of the city. The two houses as? sembled at a late hour in the day. A formal message of abdication of King Amadeus was read in each chamber separately. It opens wjth a. statement that the King has maturely considered the question of what coarse he ought to pursue with reference to the Spanish throne, and has firmly, resolved upon that course. When :he accepted the crown, he did so ander the belief that, the loyalty of the people who bad called him would compensate for the iuexpo rienee whioh be brought to his task, fle had found that herein he was deceived. If the enemies who had beset his path had' been foreigners, he would hot have taken the course uow determined upon; but they are Spaniards; by them Spain had been kept in perpetual disquiet. All his efforts to quiet her, or put an end to intrigues whioh were tbe soaroe of her agitation,' had proved unavailing. IV was not enough that he had partisan support; he had no wish to remain on the throne us King of a party. He, therefore, announced bis abdication, on behalf of himself and his heirs. Upon the completion of the reading,' the Se? nate and Congress met. together in the ohamber of the latter, and constituted themselves the sovereign Cortes of Spain. Simon Rivera, President of Congress, was call od . to tbe Chair, and in a brief speeob, declared himself ready to answer for the preservation of order and tho execution of the decrees of the sovereign power. A vote wad then taken on, the question of accepting, without discus sion, the abdication of Amadea?, and it was accepted - unanimously. A commis? sion from the members of Congress was then appointed to draft a reply-to the message, and another commission to ac? company the King to the frontier.* Senor Pio then prepared a resolution, astab lishiog a republic, and vesting in the Assembly the supreme power. The re? solution was adopted by a voto of 236 yeas against 32 nays. The Assembly was still in session when tbe foregoing was telegraphed from Madrid. London, February 12.?The marriage of Mr. Elliot Yorke to Miss Rothschild, daughter .of the'well-known banker, took place to-day. The ceremony was per? formed in the Protestant cathedral, in the presence of a large assemblage of the elite of the city. - London, February 12.?The Spanish Consul at Liverpool has offered a liberal reward for information whioh will lead to tbe discovery of shipments of arms to the insurgents iu Spain and the insur? rectionists in the Spanish colonies. Farther details of the proceedings in the Spanish Cortes yesterday Lave been reoeived. The resolution of Senor Pio, before reported as adopted, comprised several propositions, among which were the following: That Spain be declared a republic; that the National Assembly as? sume all the powers of supreme authori ty; that they appoint a responsible go? vernment to execute their decrees; that to another Assembly, to be hereafter elected, bo referred the doty of deter? mining the form of constitution. The resolution wai divided into several parts, and eaoh part was voted upon separately. The provisions declaring a republic and vestiug the sovereign power in the As? sembly were adopted. The remaining clause was then taken up for discussion. Salgorou declared his conviction that tbe Government of Zorillo ought to receive the support of the Assembly. He de*, manded that the new Government be elected before the proposals of Senor Pio were adopted. Rivero answered that the President of the Cortes was responsi? ble for the preservation of tbe publio peace and good order. Zorillo came down into the body of the ohamber, and urged tbe propriety of Salgeron's de? mand. He was called to order by the President, and asked to resume bis seat upon the ministerial beoob. Martos, Ministor of Foreign Affairs, said it was to be deplored that the President kept up the forms of tyranny, when the mo? narchy was being superseded by a repub? lic. Rivero thereupon left the Chair and-the house, and Senor Figuerolo was called to preside in his place. Later.?The following from Madrid has just been reoeived: It is believed here that Senor Rivero, President of tbe Cortes, will be elected President of the prorisional republio, established by the vote of last night. Perfect order is pre? served in Madrid. The attitude of the troops of the army and of the national guards is satisfactory. Madrid, February 12.?The Cortes, to-day, elected the following officers of the Government: Figueros, President of tbe Council; Pio Maigall, Minister of Interior; Cordaba, Minister of War; N. Salmeron, Minister of Justioo; F.

Twonty-f our battalions of infantry, with proportionate oavalry,aud artillery, and 7,000 volunteers, are. operating against tha Oarlists.

MoKinatry, of the United States navy, died yesterday, aged sixty-six years. He had been forty seven years in the naval service, and on the retired list for) several years. He leaves property va? lued at over $1,000,000 New York, February 12..?A cable de? spatch from Bome announces the ap? pointment of the Very Bev. Dr. M. A. j Oorrigan aa bishop of Newark, N. J,, and William H. Gross, a redemptionist j missionary, as bishop of Savannah. The nominations were confirmed by the Pope on February 2d. The coroner, yesterday, held an in? quest over the body of John Hurrold, an Englishman, who was committed to the Tombs throe weeks ago, on a charge of embezzlement. Harrold died yesterday morning, after a brief illness. An order for bis discharge arrived an hour after his death. Harrold was engaged to be married to a young lady, who is now in a critical condition, owing to his arrest, j It is said the charge of embezzlement against him was'trumped up. Mayor Havemeyer, in a letter pub? lished to-day, oulls attention to his letter of acceptance of his nomination,- in whioh he made no promise to be a party candidate, and says he is not now to be swerved from that position. Washington, February 12.?Congress was not crowded at the counting of the vote. The Senate separatod from the House on three votes. The voto of Georgia was oast for Greeley. The Se? nate voted to count them; the House voted nay; so they were oast out. The wholo vote of Mississippi was counted. The bodies separated on the vote of Texas, the objection being that less than a majority of the electoral college filled vaoanoiea, and thut the proper officers 'did not certify to the credentials. The Senate is now (5 o'clock) out on tho Texas question. Louisiana will proba? bly not be readied until morning. The impression has become general that her vote will be thrown out, as no debate is allowed either in the convention or when the Houses act separately. No? thing very startling need bo expected. Mr. Trumbull is making a vigorous but hopeless fight. Most of the Southern representatives voted to count Georgia's three votes for Greeley. Conkling en? countered a notable defeat to-day, in pressing his declarations regarding tho eleotoral vote. West, of Louisiana, voted steadily with Conkling. The House de? cided to count Texas. The Senate is still oot. The vote of Texas has been counted, both Houses concurring. The Houso voted to count Arkansas, and is now voting on Louisiana; but the Se? nate, in separate session, has excluded both, and the count fails for want of concurrence. James Harlan, of Kentucky, has been appointed assistant to District-Attorney Wharton, at Louisville, who is prosecut? ing parties who refused to reoeive negro votes at the late munioipal eleotion at Lexington, Ky. Bard Brigerstaff, a Ku Klux prisoner, was pardoned to-day. ?

New York, February 12?The Go? vernment, to-day bought 81,000,000 in bonds at 113-66. to 113-85. The steamship Fortbin for Europe took $203,000 in specie. It is stated that an organization has been effected on Wall street to look up money and cause financial stringency. There was a rumor afloat, yesterday afternoon, that the syndicate only sold $25,000,000 in Europe, j Leading Cubans hero consider that i the present troubles in Spain will ulti J mate in favor of Cuban independenco. A Dublin letter says that the prosecu? tion by the English Government, which has been reported by cable as commenc? ing, yesterday, against one Irish bishop and twenty priests, growing out of tho Galway eleotion, has for its aim the punishment of those eoolesiastics who opposed tho Government candidate; and it is probable that it may result in ex? citing the people to political disturb? ances.

The wounded man stated that he had reachod the cabin six days previous, soon after receiving the terrible wound from which he was Buf? fering, where be had remained ever sinoe, without fire and without nourish? ment. Tbe wounded man gave bis name as Theobald Fabro, a native of Kohl, Baden. He states that be is a baker by trade, and has been a resident of New York four years. He recently came to Charleston, and thence to Angusta. The wounded man's statements as to how ho was wounded aro contradictory. It is surmised that he attempted suicide. Not? withstanding tho remarkable wound to which he wus subjected, his physician entertains a lively hope that the wounded man will eventually recover. In addition to tho wound in his throat, his feet have been budly frost-bitten by bis long ex? posure to the oold in the cabin where he was found, without any fire. Communism in Mexico.?Among the many mushroom faotions in Mexico, communism at length rears an armed front, and is on tbe road of rapiue and destruction. Tho force in arms is under the leadership of an unreconstructed Mexican rebel named Lozada. They have gained some slight suooessos, but during tbe early part of the presont month, according to recent advices from the city of Mexico, were defeated before Guadalajara and Mazatlau, and were flying beforo the governmont troops to? wards Tepio.

The London Times, of January 27, publishes details of the terrible disaster to the ship Nortbfleet, from whioh it ap? pears that at half-past 10 o'clock at night the captain and others were alarmed by a cry from the officer of the watch, "A steamer Ii right into osl" The captain and' pilot mened on deck, but before they go8 there- the steamer had run into tbo vessel, striking her amidships, and catting her below the water-mark. The carpenter reported her nearly half full of water. The psmps were started prompt? ly,', end the orew worked hard at them for some minutes, bat wheo it was found that the water was rapidly gaining, a pauio seemed to seize both crew and pas? sengers, aud the officers could not keep the latter in check. A crowd of men and women had rashed up from their berths, many ouly half-olothed. The pasiengers had mostly retired; but few were undressed. The noise of the colli? sion is likened by one of them to a peal of thunder, and suoh wuh the violence of the shook that those standing were knocked down. It appears that the steamer rebounded and came a second time in oollision with the Nortbfleet; water began to poor in, aud in a very short time the passengers' quarters were swamped. Tho women were slower Lb rush on deck than the moo, and many were not in a condition to go till the water rose threateningly around them. No one on board the steamer wns beard to speak, although loud and eager shouts from the North fleet must have made her crew aware of the terrible danger that existed. She baoked for two or three minutes, and then steamed rapidly away and was soon out of sight. For half an hour the scene on tho deck of the Nortbfleet was appalling. Womeu shrieked, men cursed and swore and fought their way toward the boats, whilst tho captain aud first mute roared out commands to keep back and allow the women to get to tho side of the vohhcI, but apparently without success. Rockets were fired and blue lights burned. The gun was loaded, but tho screw of tho ramrod became de? tached from the handle, and the piece I could not bo discharged. Signals of dis? tress wero seen by several vessels, but appear to have been regarded as signals lor a pilot, for no assistance was render? ed. Meanwhile the scene. on deck oufll-'d description. Tho captain, finding the men deter? mined to Juave the vessel, went below, armed himself with a revolver, and, ascending the poop, declared his deter? mination to shoot tbo first mau who tried to leuve th'o vessel before the wo? men were saved. The first boat launched was lowered by a uumber of passengers by cuttiug tue ropo. There being no ladder ut haod, the only way of gettiug into it was by leaping or dropping some twelve or fifteen feet. As there was a terrible rusli toward the boat, the cccne was one of distressing confusion, and a man aud boy fell into tho water and were drowned. The officers did alt they could to force the men who first got into the boat to leave it, that the women might bo saved, but to no purpose. Even firing with a blank cartridge, it is supposed, ut first was unavailing. About thirty persons having got into it, the boat was pulled off, with not one of the crew in it. Another life-boat was launched, when a man got into it and was ordered to leave. He refused, and the captain shot him in tho calf of the leg. Capt. Knowles placed his wife in the boat, and said to tho boatswain, who had already got in, "Here is u charge for you; take care of her and tho rest, and God blosB you!" Wringing his wife's baud, he bads her good-byo, saying, "I shall never see you again!" It is impos? sible to describe tho panic that raged all the time. Heart-rending scenes were witnessed on nil sides. One of the pas sengers, seeing the cuptaiu's wife in the boat, threw his own wife in, tossed the baby to her, and entered the boat him? self. A little girl was thrown into the boat by her father, who tried to save tho rest of bis family, but tho seething, mad? dened crowd pressing towards the sido >f tho vessel prevented, und with his wife and two other children, he went down with tho ill-fated vessel. The engineer, who mado frantio efforts to cave his wife aud children, was-jummed between tho cook-house and gunwale, leceiviug such dreadful injuries that, though afterwards rescued, he is still in a precarious Btate. Only two of the seven boats aboard wero launched, owing, no doubt, to the pauio, aud one was seriously injured, as tho tackle was out and tho boat fell into the sea. When tho second boat had got off, it seemed to become a question of moments. The quarter-deck was still crowded by men, women and children, somo crying, swearing and preying. Tho captain and pilot wero together, and the latter was heard sayiog, "If you want to save yourselves, make for tho top-must," to which many people rushed. In a quar? ter of an hour, a tug picked up the secoud bout with thirty occupants, and thou steamed for somo timo round the spot, where, about three-quarters of an hour after being struck, tho Northfieot went down, hend first, with awful sud donuess, with 227 souls on board. At that moment, tho first boat was 100 yards and the second only twenty or thirty from the vessel. Tho first boat, utter lauding the women, put out to the econe of tho wreck and saved fivo men who were trying to swim to sboro. A lugger took off tho occupants of tho second boat?thirty-four passengers and a pilot. Tbo otittor rescued a pilot and ten men, who, having goue dowu with the vessel, rose to tho surface and clung to the main top-mast rigging. Tho vessel In s in elovju fathoms of water, The survivors say tho captain display? ed the greatest heroism, maintained his presonoe of mind to the lust, strove hard to put an end to the pauio, and did his duty bravoly to the end. lie was at tho lust moment going across tho dock in tho hopo of enabling some of , the crowd crushing round the boats on that side to get away; from thfvsttft. The survivors Bay other boats got adrift when tbo ship snok, ?nd express the belief that if the passengers had allowed them to be lowered, at least one ho ad red more lives eould have been Baved. Uofor? tunately, the women could not olimb tbe moats, althoogh we did all' in our power to help them; consequently all the women and children, with the excep? tion of the eaptain'a wife and another, and two obildreD,;wete^ybwned.

But looking to the influence which the action of Georgia will have on her sister States having a oommunity of in? terest with her, and in friendly con? nection, beg leave to report the follow? ing resolutions for tho immediate adop? tion of the convention, and also to ask leave to make a further report. Resolved, That this oonvention, com? posed of delegates from different South? ern States, in addition to the State of Georgia, bus beard with satisfaction that tbo Georgia Legislature have under con? sideration the subject* of direct trado and of immigration.

It expresses the hope that some wiso measures will be adopted by tbe General Assembly of Georgia to that end. Should tho pre? sent bills be disapproved, it trusts that other measures will be adopted that will secure the result in view. The Sooth Is malting great efforts to rise from her late misfortunes,, and we look with confidence to tho General Assembly of Georgia to inaugurate measures which shall uooelo rate the return of prosperity; and which, acting with tho force of example, shall, iu tho language of the lamemed Maury, "embrace, by co-operation and combina? tion, all tho States of the South."
