gumcnt, or in lead to express in its details." This, it must
be admitted, is a clever way of slipping his head out of
the halter; and we hail, with sincere pleasure, this
symptom of amendment. We hope that in all time to
come there will be the mime forbearance in respect of all
other " delicate and important questions." For our own
part, as we have already said, we shall take time to read
the papers, and we shall not hesitate then to lay before
our reachrs, but certainly not till then, our view of the
question. If the Marquis of Ilasrixos has committed
himself, let the melancholy :ru:h be stated; but if lie has
not, let us not render ourselves accessary to an injustice so
grievous and intolerable as that which will in that case
have been worked against him by the wealthiest and most
ungrateful Body in the world. We have no wish to pre-
judge the question, and shall therefore dismiss it for the
preknt.

We have received another file of United Suites Papers,
but they arc not of a later date than those which previ-

establishment, adjoininq this town, to be educated in that

care of, offering his security for the expense.—Tauulon

An English merchant, long resident at Port-au-Prince,
informs us, from his own observation, that education is
making rapid advances among the Hayden,. He states
that many of 1.. e rising generation might vie with the best

ENGLISH TaAVY.1.1.1.116 Arams.—lt is probable that
we shall soon receive some new and interesting details
from the English travellers in the centre of Africa. A trunk

scripts and papers, which is not to be opened till it arrives

from the climate, and Mr. Toole also died of a fever at
Konka, in the kingdom of Bornou. Major Denham and
Mr, Tyrwhitt were both there last May, while Lieutenant
Chapperton was proceeding alone through Soudan, beyond
the Nile of the Negroes. These details are contained in a
letter written by M. Graserg de Ileum, Consul-General of
Sweden and Norway, and Correspondent of ti.e French In-
stitute. Ilia letter is dated, Tripoli in the West, Aug. 20,
1864.---FrotrA Paler.
FAILUDA or 11•11111 AND Co.—Among the persons
whose interests have been affected by the sudden and un-
expected stoppage of the banking-house in Berners-street,
are some who were so unfortunate as to pay in large sums
on the Saturday preceding the suspension of payment. One
person, who is said to be in treaty for Ilatehett's Hotel, is
reported to have paid in the large sum of 22,0001. Another
person, a fracher in the Edgware-road, paid in 1,000,.
A third person, a builder, was more fortunate ; for on going
to the banking-house late on Saturday afternoon, with the
intention of paying in 1,3001. it was intimated to him by a
clerk that they wen too busy to attend to him, and that he
had better call again with the money on Monday. The
hint was understood, and he left the office with the cash in
his possession. A few individuals, in the course of the
day, received anonymous letters, containing mysterious in-
timations Attu an impending danger, and cautioning them
to withdraw their etffets. A letter of this description was
received by a tradesman in Prince's-street, Hanover-
rquare, who, in consequence, withdrew colt to the amount
of s.steof. In the after part of the day he made inquiries
as to the state of the firm, and, having convimxd himself;
' as he thought, that the letter was o:tly a mischievous !max,
he actually replaced the money in their hands.
The failure of Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Co., and the
extraordinary circumstances connected therewith, have ex-
cited a more titan usual sensation in Brighton, front the re-
sidence of Mr. Fauntlemy in this place. It is stated that,
in addition to other causes, his conduct is surpost d to have
arisen from building speculations in Brighton, as well as in
the metropolis ; this we have reason to believe is incorrect,
ti-r do we know that Mr. Fauntleroy possess:it any proper-
ty here, except the house in which he resided. This is
considered one of the finest specimens to be utet with of
Grecian architectute, and the elevation is particularly ad-
mired ; the house is handsomely fitted up, anti has an ele-
gant billiard-table. Mr. F. li3 in the habit of coming
here almost every week. Several retaining) in this place
had money in the bank.—lleighten Ga=cile.
Mr. FAT 7 NT LA RO V.—As yeti, us rumours are afloat re-
specting the cause of Mr. Faunderoy leaving his present wife
the moment after the performance of the marriage cere-
mony, it may be right to give the facts. It having reached
the ears of the brother of Mrs. Fu'uticroy, that his sister
had fallen a sacrifice to the seductive arts of Mr. Faunt-
leroy, he immediately wrote him a letter, demanding
either an instant marriage with his sister, or to meet him
in the field, and decide their differences, by having re-
course to the•forms of honour. Mr. Fauntleroy preferred'
the former—the nuptials were celebrated, and they sepa-
rated. By this lady he has one child, who is living.—

spirit. Iler Royal. Highness resides at Townley House,

moment, assisted her to rise ; the Princess thanked him in
