MONTHLY REPOSITORY.

The most acceptable paper in the Number before us
is evidently from the pen of its Editor, Leigh Hunt,
and calls pleasantly to our mind some of his Incst
sparkling and discriminating theatrical sketches in tl:e
" Examiner" and the " Tatler." It is entitled " Mar-

riages from the Stage," and has been suggested by the
recent death of the Duchess of St. Alban's—a lady
who now that it is too late, seems likely to obtain all
the lavish eulogy that was denied to her during life.
Hunt must ha,,e turned over many' volumes to
have got the materials with which be has so abun-
dantly supplied us in his account of the marriages of
Actresses with Aristocrats—which, by the bye, are far

pore numerous than we were aware of.
agreeably written, interspersed with piquant anee-
rlotcs ; and evinces throughout a cordial relish for the
lraina, and everything connected with it. The •' High
Life and Low Life in Italy," is not quite to our taste,

THE RAILWAY MAGAZINE.
Wytde.
_ _

A very useful periodical, very ably and impartially
conducted. Prefixed is a map of the projected
1i .il-
way, from London to Southamptort. A lette:• from
the Editor to the Duke of Wellington, on the amended
Railway Standing Orders, will be found worthy of
Jeneral attention. As the contributors are, for the
m tst part, practical engineers, this Magazine is well
adapted to the tastes of scientific readers.

[We have received an immense quantity of Maga-
zines this mmning ; but, from want of space and time,
must defer our notices of them to some future d: y.
We cannot• undertake the task of wading through
periodicals which do not reach us till the Ist. They
should be sent at least a day before.]

BERGEN, AuG. 15.—The well-known Marquis of
Waterford arrived here last week on board his handsome
yaett. In our streets he attempted to play the pranks by
which be has acquired a very equivocal reputation in the
United Kingdom ; but unhappily encountered a watchman
who is one of the most vigorous of our guardians of the
night, and a blow of whose staff 'felled the Ma: quis to the
ground, where he lay half dead. This happened near to the
principal guard-house, wl.ere a subaltern officer of the
Burgher Guard was on duty ; by his care his Lordship re-
ceived speedy assistance, but is in such a deplorable condi-
tion that our physicians despair of his life.
HAMBURG, AUG. 28.—The Crown Prince o
Bavaria arrived here from Hilegoland.

THE WEATHER.-This is the first month of Au-
tumn, and the temperature begins to be sensibly felt. Eva-
poration is 2 2-3 inches, and the rain is 2 2-10 inches.
The equinoctial gales commence the latter part of the
month, and sometimes before, and the changes of the baro-
meter arc great and sudden, as is generally the case in
stormy weather ; yet some of the most pleasant weather of
the year occurs in September, which is the best month for
sea-bathing.

CA RUST BONDS.—A singular scene took place
yesterday afternoon in Camden-town. Flames having been
seen to issue from the banks of the canal, some alarm was
occasioned, and fears were entertained that the coal barges
hi the adjacent wharfs had taken fire, and many persons
proceeded to the spot to ascertain the extent of the mischief.
On their arrival they found that the filmes arose from a vest
a ,Ilection of papers, which had been heaped up and set on
tire by several foreigners, who had gathered round and were
eagerly contemplating the work of destruction. From the
anxiety which they btrayed that not one stray morsel of
the paper should fall into the bands of the spectators, great
curiosity was excited, and several persons made a rush at
the flames with a design of rescuing a few of the devoted
documents. One person, who succeeded in getting hold of
a parcel of them, was immediately beset and assP.ulted by
the foreigners, and summoned to give up the pavers, which
they represanted as contagious. The party, however, re-
fused to give up the prize, which, on oper.ing, he found to
he a roll of bonds of a loan for Don Carlo; bearing interest
at five per cent., and payable six months after the entraUCe
of his Majesty Chirles V. into Madrid.
Two steam navigation companies are already in full
activity in Antwerp, and recent letters thence speak of a
third company as about to be formed. The bew company
proposes to raise a capital of twelve millions of florins, ten
millions to-be expended on the purchase of sixteen steam-
boats, and the other two millions to be kept as a reserved
fund. The vessels are to be employed across the North
Sea, the British Channel, and to the Mediterranean ; tho
chief object in view is to place Antwerp in direct commu-
nieation with America, and with the English stoam-boat
line to the East Indies.
A Geneva Journal mentions that the Queen Dowa-
ger of Naples left that city on the 20th instant for Milan,
