The Herald°, of Madrid, of the 18th inst., in giving a
short acetiunt of the arrival of Mr. Henderson, the agent of
Spain in the y ea" 1838 and
---,jab bondholders, represents that gen-
the committee of ok.-.
tleman as having before served •- -
1839, " under the auspices of his gov....nmment, the cause o.
our Queen." Without intending any disrespect to him, it is
right to state that this :is the first ir.tiniation of his ever
having been despatched•to S menti
oned such a service by this
government. At the period Mr. Hendason was
in Spain, as we have reason to believe, on 14;w:doh loan
speculation in connexion with other tin.ae4 in this metro-',
polls. About the same time he Iroblished here a small
pamphlet, not very rich in materials, about the population and
resources of Spain, the exaggerations of wlaich, and the
absence of any received authorities for his statements, led
those bcst acquainted with that country, and among them
intelligent Spaniards resident here, to believe that he had
been too credulously open to imposition by taking mere hear-
say and unsupported reports for granted. The bias of
his ite mind
would not unaccountablybe influenced perhaps by the mind
would not unieeountablybe influenced perhaps by his interest
in the promotion of the loan project, the success of which in the
prostrate state of Spanish credit, and non-payment of inte-
rest on existing debt, was dependent on creating a higher
opinion of the national resources abroad. It is proper
utorin g say
so much in view of the sort of paragraphical mancev
which is practised, and going the round, in the Madrid,
Paris, and the papers here, about this Spanish mission. The
business most effectively done is that done moat quietly,
directly. and without mystification.
It may be noticed as rather a singular fact, for we do not
remember such a circumstance before, that the Camilla (mer-
chant ship), reported at Liverpool in the shipping list of the
24th inst., from San Bias und Coquimbo, brings, with other
merchandise, sixteen tons f silver Fourteen tons of lead
ore are reported also from tohe same places to the same house.
Supposing no exaction, or but to a small amount, of export
duty at the place of shipment, it should be as, or a more, pro-
fitable operation to send silver ore here for smelting, than
copper ore, of which such large shipments are regularly re-
ceived here from Chile and Cuba. The profit upon lead ore
shipped so far for smelting may be doubted, unless the ore be
of extraordinary richness.
