TIIE FOREIGN LEGION. ,

DOVER, Wednesday morning.—At last the War•office
appears determined to set to 'work in earnest, as far,
at least, as concerns the foreign legion. We stated on
Monday that depots were forming at Shorncliffe and
Heligoland for the embodiment of 5,000 men, and that
General Stutterheim bad been appointed commander of
the force, Colonel Binlock inspector, acd Colonel
Wonldri.lge commander of brigade ; both the last-named
officers having distinguished themselves in Spain, where
they held high command in the British auxiliary legion.
Having for some time past strongly advocated
the expediency of employing, some of the 'distin-
guished officers who served under General Evans,
we are now glad to have it in our power to state
_
that already strong evidence has been shown !
what may be done by chiefs having the andcapieityra
the knowledge requisite for the important duty

Time NEW-NOVEL, "THE HEIRESS OP HAIIGRTON,'
by the author of "Emilia Wyndham," &c.—Tbe au-
thoress of these Volumes has frequently exhibited htr
peculiar qualifications as a writer of fiction, and M every
instance increased her reputation ; but we were not pre- •
pared for the impassioned delineations which abotind in
"The Heiress of Haughton," nor inclined to Believethat she would surpass her " Emilia Wyndham," the
power of Aich made her reputation at once. Never-
theless, we can only do justice to the matter before us
by saying that we consider this tale to be the bestwhjo h
the authoress has yei. written.-2lfessenger. i
