Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretehedness, be raised, its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injarions ; the gilt, Which when

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly

be of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should

In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-

medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-

LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas

solely to the treatment of these diseases.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORNSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—Lieut. Randell Vans
(1811) died this morning at Southsea, having just com-
pleted his 60th year. He was in receipt of a pension for
wounds.
The Dido, 18, Captain Maxwell, sailed last night for
Sheerness, to be paid off.
Vice-Admiral Dacres finally left the President, 50,
this day under those gratifying demonstrations of respect
and attachment from officers and men, which every judi-
cious commandant is sure to receive at the hands of his
subordinates, and his flag was struck at sunset. A
new foreyard has been sent out to the ship this after.
noon to replace that carried away on the passage home,
and to-morrow, if possible, she will sail for Chatham to
be paid off.
The steamers for the reserve squadron of Devonport
are not to sail before Monday. Saturday was fixed, but
the Admiralty finding the riggers who will navigate
them would have to be paid double for working their
Sunday, have altered the day of sailing to Monday.
The Fire Queen steam-vessel, Master Commander
Allen, after sundry repairs, &c., went out to-day to try
her engines, &c. She did not equal 12 knots, and sprang
a leak in the after run.

The Myrtle steam-vessel, Acting Master Balliston
commanding, disembarked the baggage, &c., of Admiral
Dacres this afternoon. The Admiral is residing in this
garrison for the present.
The Kingfisher, 12, Commander Harvey, arrived at
the Cape Verds oa the 24th of November, and found the
Dover steam-vessel there; sailed on the 26th, and ar-
rived at Sierra Leone on the 7th of December; whence
she would proceed to Prince's Island in search of the
Commodore. But few prizes have lately been taken.
The smallpox is very prevalent up the Gambia. The
Kingfisher was to proceed to Ascension, after speaking
the Commodore.
The Juno, on her arrival, is to be paid off at Plymouth,
and the Espiegle at Sheerness.

AN ANCIENT BAGPIPE.

We are told by the Greek Historian Dion Chrysostom
that the Emperor Nero performed on an instrument,
which he describes as possessing a tube perforated with
holes, and appended to which was a bag, which was
placed under the performer's arm, thus answering the
purpose of bellows to supply the wind. This is
evidently nothing but the common primitive bagpipe.
" The reason," writes he, " why Nero preferred this
Tibia utricularis was because he might avoid those con-
tortions of the face which he observed all who played on
flutes with their mouth invariably made, and which so
horrified Minerva as to cause her to dash the instru-
ments to pieces when she beheld herself reflected in the
brook."

ITALY.

The French Constitutionnel publishes some intel-
ligence from Lombardy, by which it appears that
Marshal RADETZKY had tried to force the nine pro-
vinces composing the late Lombardo-Venetian
kingdom to name each a deputy to the Diet of
Kremsier ; but that hitherto the Congregation
of Brescia had been the only electoral college that
had obeyed the summons of the Marshal, and named
M. SALER', who nevertheless had resigned on the
ground of the incompetency of the Provincial Con-
gregation of Brescia to name a representa-
tive to the Austrian Diet of Kremsicr
Upon
which the Provincial Congregation, re-
cognising the validity of the reason adduced,
had declared it would net proceed to a second elec-
tion. Como, Milan, and Pavia persist, according to
the correspondent, in a similar refusal; the news of
the election of Messrs. LITTA and NAGAIS is, there-
fore, false.
orders, Marsln consequence of this resistance to his
hal RADETZKY is said to have declared
that, as the Italians will not proceed to the nomina-
tion of their representatives of the Diet of Krem-
sier, he would name the nine deputies himself, and
have them escorted from brigade to brigade to their
deatiption.

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.

The Prussian Stoats Anzeiger publishes the follow-
ing declaration from the officers of DON MIGUEL'S
regiment who deserted from the Hungarians to the
Imperialists. It is dated Karlowitz, Jan. 10 :
" Inspired with unalterable lore and devotion to bis
Majesty the Emperor, we expected to receive an intima-
tion from our superior officers in order to carry cut our
wishes and return to our duty. But in vain. We found
in our generals decided opponents to our views. All the
rescripts and proclamations of his Majesty and of
Prince Windischgratz were not brought to our
knowledge, but were craftily kept from us. At length
we received through an extraordinary channel from the
commandant of the Karlowitz camp, Captain Milekich, a
friendly summons and a notification that his outposts
would, on our arrival at Peter-Wardein, give us a
friendly reception, and thus we arrived happily at Kar-
lowitz. We consider it our duty to return our warmest
thanks to the Servians of Karlowitz, for the friendly re
ception which they gave us,"
The reign of terror continues throughout the f
whole of the Austrian dominions. The Croats continue
their daily system of plunder and murder, persons are
arrested and shot without form of trial on secret
denunciations, all letters, even those of the Mi-
nisters themselves, are opened et the Post-office,
and a system of the most horrible espionage is re-
gularly organized. The rule of ROBESPIELME was
one of freedom, and of mercy, and of justice, in
comparison with the atrocious reign of terror which
at present prevails in Austria. home idea may be
formed of the state of things in that unhappy country
from the folloTA ing extract from the letter of a tra-
veller " who is enabled to write those things which
the Austrian Post-office will not suffer to pass,"
which appears in the Cologne Gazette :
" You can form no ides of the state of things in
Austria; the dispatches of everybody are opened; nay,
to such an extent is the blind zeal of those in authority
carried that even the letters ird.;ressed to the Ministers
are not excepted. Wait till Hungary is reduced, and
you will hear strange things. I wish I were safe and
sound out of the country. The Diet is at this moment
less free than it ever was at Vienna. If I were not afraid
of my life I could give you, as well as many others, de-
tails that would surprise you. But the voice of truth
will, in the end, be heard; for it is utterly impossible
that things should remain in their present state.'

lIANDEL

When he was preparing his opera of Otho for produc-
tion was violently enraged one day because Cuzzoni who
was to perform the principal role, arrogantly told him
that the lovely air "Falsa immagine!" was not worthy
to be sung by her and that she would not therefore sing
it. The contempt with which this operatic queen spoke
of his composition provoked Handel beyond himself, and
he vociferated in a voice which borrowed strength from
the enormity of Cuzzoni's offence, that although he was
aware she was a devil, yet he would let her know he was
Beelzebub, their prince. He then actually caught her
up by the waist and vowed if she did not immediately
obey his commands he would precipitate her from the
window into the street. The temper of the fair Italian,
generally untameable, was not proof against this sum-
mary mode of retaliation, and she was, much against
her will, forced to yield to this energetic and irresistible
spirit which our modern Timotheus displayed.
I recollect reading in La Revue Musicale some few
years back the following anecdote of our Great Musi-
cian. It says, while Handel was conducting the re-
hearsal (qy. where?) of ono of his oratorios (qy. which?)
he heard among the basses an unknown instrument
" grunting out gruff mysterious sounds"—" Vaat are
dose apominable sounds," he roared out, " dat split mein
ears?" Some one answered " a serpent!" "Der
teufel!" growled Handel, " a saarpent? by mein honours
it is not dat py wich Eve waas seducet." This story,
this pretty fable, is doubtless as good as most things of
its genre, but fathered with as little truth as the legions
attributed to the immortal and world-renowned Joseph
Miller, but that M. Fkis (Monsieur L'Edite'ir de la
Revue), who is something more than a well-informed
musician, should have forgotten his wonted accuracy
and have thus committed so absurd and glaring an
anachronism seems truly strange. How easily could he,
if he had not strength of mind enough to sacrifice his
joke, have selected some more recent composer as a peg
whereon to hang his plaisanterie. There were about as
many serpents in llandel's time as there were jupons in
Paradise on the day of Eve's nuptials.
Charles Dibdin used to narrate a whimsical tale.—
When he was travelling to the Land's End ho met some
" bold Cornish men," some of whom carried musical in.
struments, others bearing music books. He inquired
whither they were proceeding, and received the reply,
"To church to rehearse our music for Sunday!"
" And pray whose music do you play?" again asked
Charley. " Oh, Handel! Handel, of course," was the
answer that rather staggered their interrogator. " But
do you not find Handel's music rather difficult of per-
formance?" he inquired simply. " Who}, ees, it war at
foorst, but we alter'di 'un, an' so we doos vaary wull
wi' un new (now)!" This was quite enough for our
Ocean Bard, who threw them a crown, and telling them
to drink the health of the author of " Poor Jack,"
hurried away as if pursued by a spirit.

PRUSSIA.

M. AUAGO had his audience of leave on the 20th.
The 22d was fixed for the elections, and no journals
were to be published on that day in consequence of the
elections. This sounds rather remarkable to English
ears ; here the day of election would be marked by
greater energy on the part of the proprietors of jour-
nals to procure and publish the earliest intelligence
of the electoral results.
Accounts frcm Breslau of the 19th say, the cholera

BURNING DOWN OF THE RAIL.
WAY STATION AT HATFIELD PEVEREL.
On Thursday night the railway aation at the vil-
lage of Hattleid.Peverel on the Eastern Counties line,
about three miles from Witham, was destroyed by
fire, and the following are the facts which we have
been able to gkan from sources of authority :—The
clerk of the station was engaged therein at the time
the mail train went down the line, which was about
ten o'clock (the mail does not stop at Hatfield) and
he continued there until about twenty minutes past
ten, when he put the lamps out as usual (there
being no light, left dating the night here, in con-
sequence of the night trains not stopping), and left
the station to go to his lodgings. About twenty
minutes after this, as a young farmer was passing
over the bridge by the station, and in the direction of
Tiatfield, he discovered the station to be on fire, and
called out loudly several times in order to see
if the porter, or any ore connected with the line,
was near. Fintling 1;e could make no one bear,
he rode into the village (not more then several
hundred yards distant) and gave the alarm, and a
number of persons repaired to the spot, but by the
time they reached the station the fire had gained so
much hold that there would have been but little chance
of stopping it, even if a supply of water could have
been obtained cn the spot. As it was, there was
neither water nor engine, and to have procured the
latter they must have sent to Witham. However,
the station being small, and built of wood, it waa
speedily reduced to ashes, together with books, tickets,
and everything belonging to it, the brick chimney
only being left standing. The fire was seen plainly
at Witham, but was supposed to have been much
further off than it was. The wind blew furiously
during the time of the fire, and therefore hastened on
the work of destruction. How the fire originated
remains still a mystery, but we are glad to be able to
contradict a report which was very generally
spread—namely, that the clerk was suspected
of having been the incendiary. No such
suspicion exLts with the authorities on the
line, and if the station was wilfully fired, it was
no doubt by some mischievous lounger or passer-by.
The general opinion with them, we believe., is, that
a spark from a lamp was the cause. It might have
been a cinder from the mail train, but it is not very

likely, as the mail passes on the line of rails furthest
from the station. _ _

It is rather remarkable that the company had
been contemplating taking down this station, in con-
sequence of a great deal ct the former traffic having
beeen taken off by the opening of the Maldon branch
line ; but as considerable hostility has been shown,
and very naturally, by the inhabitants of Hatfield
to a measure calculated to put them to such incon-
venience, the company had deferred taking any de-
ciiire. steps. It will now be a question bow the
Hatfield people may fare, after such an abrupt and
unexpected demolition of their little station.--

LUTHER

Wrote a very able treatise of the science of music, and
was a passionate admirer of the art. He composed
several fine chants and songs, and on that account ob-
tained the spottname of "Der Schwan von Esleben."
But among his musical works are some which might in-
duce some to deny him so soft a name, songs by which
he roused the spirit of his followers, and even worked
himself up to the highest pitch of enthusiasm and ardour.
Among these may be instanced the song with which
he made his entrance into Wiirms, followed by his
disciples, and which is nothing else than a war song.
The cathedral—time-honoured and gray as it was—
trembled even to its chancel at the unwonted sound, and
we are told the crows, frighted from. their dimly seen
nests on the summits of its towers, ascended to the sky
en masse, making a terribly discordant noise at being so
disturbed. This hymn—this Marseillaise, if I may so
call it, of the German Reformation—has, even up to the
present day maintained its popularity, and still pos-
sesses the energetic influence it once boasted. During
the last revolution (184 S) I am credibly informed that
the stormy Republicans of " Der Vaterland" united the
strength of their voices to chant it, substituting, how-
ever, the violent language of a party faction for the old
sonorous and iron-clad words which were only used to
uphold the doctrine which Luther's and his followers'
hearts felt was the true Religion—the Religion of
God.

no sooner had he heard that brilliant performer than ha
became not only pacified, but his feelings entirely

TIC DOLOREUX CURAULE.—TOOTHACHE.
JAMES' CELEBRATED ASTILIAN TINC-
TURE FOR THE TIC DOLOREUX,
will prove an invaluable medicine to those suffering from this most
excruciating and hitherto-considered incurable complaint. A know-
ledge of its surprising efficacy has induced the proprietors to bring it
more extensively before the Public than has hitherto been done, and
thus confer a blessing upon thousands now labouring under that
distressing malady; the first application not only easing the patient
of all pain, but effecting in almost every case, a lasting cure.
As a remedy for Toothache, the proprietors can confidently recom-
mend It as one that cannot be surpassed.
This medicine is also a certain specific for Spasms, however violent,
especially in the stomach or bowels, and from its perfect freedom
from anything of a deleterious character, may be administered under
any circumstances with entire safety.

Bilious Attack, Indigestion, and Flatulency Cured by
Holloway's Pills.—Khairatee Khan, a native merchant
of Patna, in the East Indies, suffered for years from bile,
indigestion, and fiatuency, and, although he consulted the

debilitated. Having one day a severer attack than usual
of these dreaded maladies, he determined to try Holloway's
Pills, and this fine medicine which has obtained such
high repute throughout the world, very soon reinstated
him in perfect health, and, in gratitudefor the benefit, he
desires this wonderful cure to be made public. Sold by
all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,

POPULAR BRITISH ORNITHOLOGY. By

P. H. Gosse.

This little volume professes to give a familiar and
technical description of the birds of the British Lies,
and seldom are professions better carried out. Every
British bird from the sparrow to the peacock is here
described in the most attractive manner possible.
The various peculiarities of each and all are set forth
technically and familiarly, so that the student of
natural history may gain information, and the general
reader may derive amusement from the same work.
Not the least attractive contents of this volume are

its illustrations. It contains no less than seventy
birds, admirably drawn and beautifully coloured.
To juvenile readers this work will be invaluable.

AUSTRIA. By E. P. Thornpson, Author of " Lffe

in Russia."

At the present moment when the political reor-
ganization of the Austrian empire is the object of
general attention, this work will be perused with
especial interest. It gives a brief but graphic expo-
sition of the actual state of Austria. An enumera-
tion of its various chapters will sufficiently show the
character of the work. It begins with the "Extent
and Population of Austria," proceeds to consider the
" State Policy," "The Statesmen of Austria," " Edu-
cation," "Religion," " The Army," " Peasantry,"
"Middle Class," "Revenue and Statistics," " Vienna
and the Viennese," &c., &c., until the postcript, which
treats of the " resent Position and Prospects of the
Empire." The writer's tone is, in general, sufficiently
liberal, but he, like too many Liberals, seems to fear
that the newly revolutionized countries may become
" a prey to anarchists and mob legislators," forgetting
that the perils end difficulties of revolution are
almost inevitable accompaniments of the state of
transition from despotism to constitutional liberty.

HYMNS.

The first person who is believed to have composed
hymns or odes of praise in honour of the Divine Power,
and used as a ceremonial part of religious mysteries
and of the Church service, was Saint Hilary, Bishop of
Poictiers. An Augustine Monk, called Saint Ambrose,
succeeded him. Most of those to be met with in the
Roman Breviary were composed by Prudentius, a Latin
priest. The hymns or odes of the Ancients were wont
to consist of three different kinds of strophes or stanzas,
each forming an integral portion of and only used in
certain ceremonies. One was chanted as the procession
moved from eastward to westward, another when they
returned to the latter from the former. But the third
was the most important and sacred, and was performed
only before the high altar. Tne ancient Hebrew hymns
were accompanied by trumpets, drums, cymbals, and a
sort of bi-stringed lyre, in order as well to render the
eff:.!ct more imposinz as to assist the voices of the Levites
and the people as their Hosannas resounded up to the
Throne of Grace!

FRANCE.

We read in the Presse :—" We have again to
point out an extraordinary activity in almost all
the manufactories. The movement even appears
to extend to many branches of industry which had
not before participated in it. Agents from the
departments are numerous in Paris, buying up
all the goods that are ready, and giving orders
to such an extent that some have been refused from
want of hands to execute them. We have seen
several establishments for articles of luxury which
had guarded since the revolution only two or three
workmen, and which in the course of the last fortnight
have been obliged to engage fifteen or twenty new
ones."

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manehester Guardian of this day.)
MANCIIEnTER, SEPT. 18.—The yarn market has
exhibited to-day a continuance of the inactivity and
heaviness which prevailed last week. There has, indeed,
been some inquiry for Indian qualities; but it appears to
have had no other object for the present than to ascer-
tain Le state of the market in respect to such articles,
just before the arrival of the overland mail, for it has
led to hardly any actual business. The German and
other continental houses are still compelled by the limits
they receive to confine themselves to purchases of
comparatively small amount, for the purpose of
making up assortments ; and the home consumers find
an inducement in the less satis:Factory condition of
their own business, to diminish their present stocks of
yarns before giving out fresh orders. Stilt, inanimate
and, to some extent, irregular as the market has been,
the general quotations show little change in prices,
as compared with those of thin day week. The
concessions that have taken plane have been partial,
and rather in water twist than in mule. In goods,
exceedingly few transaction:s have taken place,
and the general bias of prices bas been rather against
the manufacturers. To go a little more into parti-
culars, we may state that domestics certainly do not
improve. Long cloths anti T' cloths are rather wore
difficult of sale. All descriptions of 40 inch ahirtings
continue flat, especially the lower qualities, in which
there is some giving way of price. The contracts for
jacconets are gradually coming to a close, and there
is no longer the same facility of renewal as of late.
36-inclt continues in diminislpd demand. In meg.

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

A letter from Vienna of the 13th says—" Marsha.
RADarZKY
_has this day made a triumphal entry into
this city. He was received at the railway station by
the Ban JELLACIIICIT, Prince SCIIWARTZENDERG,
Count GIULAY, Minister of War, the Minister of
Commerce, Baron IVELDErI, Governor of the city, and
the military and civil authorities. The population
gree:ed him with enthusiastic shouts, and flowers
were showered on him from the windows. An iliu-
Initiation and serenade were to be given in his honour
in the evening, The Municipal Council of Vienna
intends to confer the right of honorary citizenship on
the Marshal and on the Ban JELLACIIICII, and it is
reprted on Prince \VINDISEGRATZ also."
The. Austrian Lloyd's announces that the Minister
of Finance is about to issue a new loan, and to take
measures with respect to the reserved shares of the
Bank, which will effect a radical reform in the estab-
lishment.
According to the Vienna journals of the 6\l
80,000 men are to besiege Comorn, under the orders
of Generals HAYNAU and NUGENT. The bombard-
ment was to commence on that day. The Austrians
had occupied great part of the island of Schutt with-
out resistance, but part of the insurgents were in a
strong entrenched camp before the fortress, and it
was expected that a battle would take place there.
Three Hungarian officers had been put to death at Arad
and Temeswar, one by hanging, and the estates of
two were confiscated.
The Russians continued to retire from Hungary.
On taking possession of Peterwardein, the Austrians
found 300 guns and 4,000 muskets.
On the 4th the new Austrian Constitution was for-
mally promulgated at Agram, before the Council of
the Banat of Croatia and the local authorities.

The King of HANovER has addressed a letter to
General HATNAU, complimenting him on his services
in Hungary, and conferring on him the Cross of the
Order of the Guelphs.
A letter from Klagenfurth of the 11th inst., ad-
dressed to the Austrian Lloyds, says:—
" Geolgry arrived 11( re this morning with Lis wife, his
phy.ician, and Major Andrau. He will be at perfect
liberty here. As his arrival was expected, a great num-
ber of people went to see him enter the city."
The following letters from GEORGEY to RUDIGE.II,
proposing to surrender, and from GEORGEY to
KLAPKA, urging him to give up the fortress of Co-
morn, have been published in the German journals:—

THE StT

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF G. P. HILL.

This was the day appointed fir the last examine•
tion of the bankrupt, who is described as of Fleet-
street, carrier. He was also a director in the Parcels
Post Company, and was connected with several lines
of railway.
The balance-sheet has not been filed, and as a reason
for this neglect it was stated that the bankrupt was
prevented from having access to his accounts and

papers.
The COMMISSIONER ordered an adjournment for
three months. _

______ ....,........
Several proofs of debt tendered by the creditors of
the Parcels Post Company were deferred for further
consideration. _ .

There were no claims made to-day in respect of
any debts resulting from the bankrupt's connexion
with railway companies.
Messrs. Lawrence and Plews are solicitors to the
assignee, Mr. Wryghte (the accountant), who at-
tended in person to watch the proceedings.

particularly as regarded an alleged partnership.

space of two years, exhibits the following amongst
other items:—" Unsecured creditors, 5,790/. ; secured
ditto, 5,378/.; profit, about 3,1671.; credit side,

THE ARMY.

Major-General Sutherland arrived at the Mauritius
on the 27th June, and immediately assumed the
command of the troops sLtioned in that colony.
We are happy to find that the troops in London
have been ordered to take their cloth trowsers into
wear, a precaution by no means unnecessary at the
present moment, and we hope this will be extended to
the military in all parts ofithe country, as nothing
can tend more to their comfort at this changeable
season, particularly during the existence of .the
epidemic..
DUBLIN, SEPT. 18.—Major-General Napier, C. 8.,
has returned to Limerick from leave of absence, and
resumed the command of tha troops in the Limerick
district.

Major. General Bainbrigge, C. 8., having proceeded
on leave of absence, Colonel Hamilton, K.H., inspect-

Foot, will perform the duties of Inspecting Field-
Officer at Newry during Colonel Hamilton's stay at
Belfast.

Major Dupuis's troop of Royal Horse Artillery
has arrived at Woolwich from Dublin, having been
relieved at Dublin by Captain Gilbert's troop from
the former place. The following are the names of
the officers with these troops respectively, viz :
Major Dupuis, 2d Captain Thomas, Lieutenants
Milman and Bayly ; Captain Gilbert, 2d Captain

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived.
The QUEEN and KING returned to Madrid on that
day from La Granja.
The Clamor Publico of the 13th complains bitterly
of the injury inflicted on trade by the non-publication
of the new law on the tariff, and says that the delay
in giving effect to this measure had caused heavy
losses to the parties engaged in commercial affairs.
The Epoca has the following statement on the
tariff question :
" The examination of the project of the new tariff was
not seriously commenced till the day before yesterday.
At the first meeting there were present the Ministers of
Foreign Affairs, Finance, the Home Department, and
Marine, the only ones who are now in Madrid, the
directors and sub-directors of the Customs, and we know
not whether sem° other competent persons. A
sitting
of two hours will take place every day, being devoted to
this important subject, and it is thought that the exami-
nation of the new tariff will be terminated by the 20th.
The printing of the now tariff will occupy eight to twelve
days, so that the publication will take place at the end of
September or beginning of October.
" It would be rash at this time to say what spirit will
dominate in these sittings, and what alterations will be
made in the project adopted by Senor Mon. It is gene-
rally believed that the tariff will be somewhat more Pro-
tectionist in some chapters."
The Herald() says:—
" They write from Naples that the Infante Don Se-
bastian desires ardently to return to Spain. It would
please us very much to see these desires satisfied, as an
additional proof of the reconciliation of al Spaniards,
and of the existence of a definitive state of things which
no human power can now overthrow."

The Finance Minister I3aAvo MURILLO was en-
deavouring to negotiate a fresh loan.
