nicated in our columns. The foolish infatuation of
:he French GovernMent in making such a parade of
the trial, is calculated to do immense Yrkiscilid in a

PARPI, JUNE AsStirtbd that OW diril^.latie body,
ecsides its coegr'atnlati4utty X 143 addressed to the King some
said to have ex
advice foi• th@ 3atcty of his person. Thus, Lord Granville is
pressed his opinion that the King ought to re-
frain for a time from travelling, and from his frequent
changes of residence. The King is reported to have answered,
that it was by no means easy for him to seclude himself in such
a manner, and that, besides, he was convinced that, in spite of
all the precautions that he could adopt, he would not escape
his fate whatever it might be. Another member of the diplo,
matic body is said to have added, that the King ought to re-
nounce the reviews, which, wording to him, arc the most
favourable opportunities for the disaffected. This opinion seems
to have prevailed, for we are again assured to-day that there is
to be no review this year on occasion of the celebration of the
July fetes.
The news. from Spain is limited to some unimportant re
ports. Thus some letters front persons favourable to the new
Cabinet, represent the approaching election as likely to give
the majority to M. Isturiz. General Nogues is said to have
joined General Rotten, and the resignation of General Eva-
riste San Miguel, who commanded at Saragossa, has been ac-
cepted. Nothing is known from the theatre of war. The
letters which we have already mentioned say that preparations
are already making for a new and decisive campaign ; and tho
Queen promises herself wonders from the new plan which Cor-
dova has conceived amidst the liites of the Prado and his
triumphal promenades in the streets of Madrid. It is said that
Major-General Espartero is appointed Captain-General of
Valencia and Murcia, and that Don P. Moutes will be ap-
pointed Captain-General of Aragon.—Messager, June 29.

Letters and papers from Madrid to the 24th ult.,
and from St. Sebastian to the same date, have been
received. In the Spanish capital all was tranquil,
and Ministers began to hope that the elections would
be decidedly favourable to them. The Government
was very anxious to put down the rebellion in Valencia
and Lower Arragon, where the neglect of the autho-
rities had suffered it to gain a dangerous height. For
this purpose large bodies of troops were directed to move
in that direction, with a view to strengthen the garrisons
and scour the country. The troops at St. Sebastian
are in a state of inaction, and in great want of neces-
saries. In answer to General EvANs's application to
the Government, he received a letter froth a well-
known banking-hOnse in Paris, proffering an imme-
diate supply of 60,000 reals. This assistance comes
most opportunely, as it is notorious that the coffers of
the Minister of Finance are empty, and that ISTURIZ
cannot raise money without the consent of the Cortes.
It is now, we think, notorious that the rebellion
cannot be put down without foreign intervention.

On Wednesday the town of Keighley was the scene
of strange proceedings. In the morning the females in the
employ of Messrs. Butterfield, brothers, power-loom weavers,
turned out under the following circumstances regulation
had been promulgated in the mill that the breakfast time
would be limited to 20 minutes, and that the meal should be
eaten in the dryhouse ; and, 2d, that the room door where they
worked should be locked during the hours of labour. Upon
these points the hands struck, and nothing short of a riot was
expected by the inhabitants, so far had the populace taken up
the matter, and gained the ascendancy. About 5,000 people
assembled together in the afternoon, when three of the girls
were taken into custody, .and conveyed before Mr. Ellis, at
Chesterfield, who, after a long examination, discharged them,
on condition that they should go back to the work and finish
the warp in the looms. On their return to the town about 7
o'clock, p.m., hundreds of people went to meet them, and
re-entered with shouts and cheers, parading the females
accompanied by the various bands from other factories in the
town.-•;-Macclesfield Courier.

I bought a box of gas Lucifers on Wednesday at a
chemist's; they were tied up in a parcel with other purchases,
and sent home ; the servant in taking the parcel up stairs
dropped it over the banisters, and the result was instant igni-
tion, and combustion of the whole parcel, caused by the fric-
tion of the sand-paper against the matches. When you con-
sider that these matches arc sent by coach, waggon, and ship,
it is frightful to imagine what disasters may and must arise
from the imprudence of placing in the box the instrument of
ignition. It is like sending flints packed in gunpowder.—
Morning Paper.
It is stated that Major Walter, commanding the
29th depot, will be inspector of the Leinster constabulary.
THE MOORS.--Upon the higher range of the
shooting-grounds the ensuing grouse season is expected to be
a very bad one, from the long continuance of the snow storm.
We have much better accounts from the lower districts, where
the birds are plentiful, and the young broods numerous, ave-
raging from eight to twelve each. Some fears were enter-
tained that the long-continued and severe drought would have
proved injurious to the latter, but the late rains have fallen in
time to prevent any serious loss among the young birds. Game
is abundant on the low grounds of Lord Panmure's extensive
moors on the Grampians, Ott the lofty hills they are scarce,
and the broods late.

The Author of this very entertaining Volume
hiniSelf arl acicriircr of Don CdrlB;3i arid a friend of the
cause Usi-irper. tits connexion with a Morn-
ing Conte-.nporary, which he alsp' avows as freely as
his principles, and our recollection of his correspon-
dence with, that Journal will, we presume to think, in-
duce the more reflecting to pauac before placing much
reliance. on many of his statements. His account of
himself is, however, sufficiently imposing—" I am "
we quote his own words—" an impartial man : my
daily discipline is to expunge political prejudices from
my mind, and to view things as they are ; a friend to
the principles of legitimacy---an ardent one of consti-
tutional monarchy, but not a visionary Royalist, who
dreams of restoration, and will not recognize the du-
ties of kings to their people, as well as the duties of
the people to their kings. Still, though not standing
in the full odour of sanctity with my Royalist friends,
I must do them the justice to say, that they met my.
views with the greatest liberality, and, believing that I
. was a person in whose sincerity and good faith, a
full.relianee could be placed, they opened to me the
secrets of their union, and gave me the means of
making Myself known to the people, at Bayonne and
on the frontiers, who could advance my_ jour-
ney." This must be allowed to be, at least,
candid"' enough ; and in the course of his tour
our traveller removes all doubts as to his being
encumbered with , any superabundance of scruples,
respecting the means most convenient fOr attaining
the object which he had in view. In the first place he
states that before leaving Paris in November last, he was
regularly initiated in all the mysteries of the CarliSt con-
spirators resident in that city ; that he was furnished by
them with secret instructions to the principal agent of the
Usurper at Bayonne, the meeting with whom he compares
to the meeting the secret agents of the Stuarts in the
Tower ; that he joined a party of the rebels, and toasted
the health of Don Carlos as King of Spain ; and that he
openly comported himself as the partizan and admirer of
that Prince. In his journey from the frontier to the head-
quarters of the Usurper, he was accompanied by persons
going to join his standard ; nor does he seek to conceal the
fact, that while there he was honoured with the confidence
of the Carlist Generals, and made the depository of secrets
of moment to the cause of the Pretender. The following
is his own account of his interview with that Prince, as
well as of his opinions on the subject of his pretensions to
the Throne of Spain ;--
" I found the Prince standing near a table covered with
papers ; and to those who knew his amiability of manner, and
the natural sweetness of his disposition, it is not necessary for
me to say that I was most kindly received. He hoped that my
friends and I had been well treated on our journey, as it was
his wish that Englishmen should meet every accommodation
and facility, because he looked upon us as friends, by whom
he-had been protected in the moment of difficulty ; and be
assured me that orders should be given to open every source
of information to us, as his only desire was, that the truth and
the whole truth should be made known. He considered his
claims founded in justice, and supported by the voice of the
people ; and as success had attended all his efforts since his
arrival in the provinces, he had nothing to conceal, and our
investigation would render him good, not harm ; as it was
only by honourable and unprejudiced men visiting his army,
that the tales which had been circulated to his injury could be
refuted.

" Don Carlos then did me the honour to remember having
seen me at Madrid, and, with a quiet smile, hoped soon to re-
peat that pleasure. I retired as soon as the Infante ceased to
speak ; and he bade me farewell in a most affectionate tone,
repeating that orders should be given to facilitate my views in
every respect.
" Don Carlos wore a plain blue frock-coat ; and it was his
,wish that every one should be presented to him without cere-
mony, as his good sense told him that the forms of the Madrid
'Court would be out of place at Onate, and in the midst of a
campaign. He was looking thinner than when I saw him
before, and fatigue and care had evidently put furrows in his
cheeks ; but his countenance was as usual—full of benevolence,
and though not a handsome man, his dark full eye gave ex-
pression to his face ; and the sweetness of his voice, and the
gentleness of his manners, surprised you into loving him,
whatever were your opinions as to his political rights.
" Don Carlos's character is but little understood in Eng-
land ; and it is strange to find a prejudice there against him,
when he possesses- every quality which we prize, and consider
indispensable in men of elevated station. He is just, humane,
and generous, and so great a lover of truth, that he has never
been known to break his word, or to allow an equivocation in
his presence. He was the only member of the royal family at
Madrid who paid debts, or preserved regularity in the house-
hold. The weekly bills were paid with the same exactness as
in an English family ; and while all the other inhabitants of
the palace, to whom tradesmen applied in vain, indulged in
dissipation, and disregarded increased expense, his system was
so thoroughly maintained, that though, he left Madrid for
Lisbon at a few days' notice, not a shilling remained un-
settled.

" Don Carlos was born the legitimate heir to the throne ;
and the law by which the succession was changed was not
enacted (supposing that it were then enacted with all neces-
sary forms—a matter we will take for granted, to prevent dis-
cussion about it), until two years after his birth ; so that he is
the victim of an ex post facto law, and a principle has been
adopted against him, which would • not stand before any law
court in England, in case of an entail : and the additional
cruelty in his case is, that even that ex post facto law was not
made public for forty years after it was enacted, and until a
female child was born to Ferdinand. This is what may be
called a hard case, particularly as no public or private reproach
could be attached to the character of the person thus cut off;
and if he had come to the throne, he would have been the
father of his people."
We will not here stop to argue the question, of hereditary
right as regards the occupation of the Spanish Throne.
Mr. Burke Honan is obviously unacquainted with the Con-
stitutions of any of the old Spanish kingdoms, with the ex-
ception of Navarre, in which only the principle of the Salic
law was recognised.
Having by the help of Carlist guides traversed most of
the four provinces overrun by the troops of the Pretender,
the writer of this volume returned to France, and thence
proceeded to Madrid, where after remaining a month he
was compelled by the Government to quit the country.
This he complains of as a most unwarranted outrage com-
mitted upon the person of a British subject': but we are
obliged to confess that, judging from his own account of his
adventures in Spain, we can discover nothing at all uncom-
mon, nor indeed so very censurable, in the precaution thus
taken by the Government to remove from the capital a
person notoriously in the confidence of the rebels. We
defy any impartial person to read this volume carefully, and
be of a different opinion.

But where the author is not swerved by a political bias,
nothing can be more delightful than his description of
Spanish scenery, Spanish roads, Spanish inns, Spanish
cookery, Spanish customs, and, best of all, Spanish women.
He asserts that notwithwithstanding the long continuance
of the civil war, the fields in the Basques are well culti-
vated, the crops abundant, and the people thriving upon
the profits of a good contraband trade. He positively
affirms that the French authorities wink at such breaches
of the law as operate in favour of Don Carlos, and that
their want of vigilance is not unknown to the Government.

BRUSSELS, 28th June.—Prince Ferdinand of Saxe
Cobourg arrived at Brussels yesterday, from Paris. He
alighted at his Hotel in the Rue Ducale, where the Princes,
his sons, have been since Saturday last.—A letter from
Elsinore says—" Two English vessels have arrived here. It
is said that they will be stationed in our road, and that our
Government has been informed by the English Admiralty of
this arrangement. This news has caused no sensation either
amongst merchants or the foreign consuls."—The first notice
of the marriage of M. Ancillon, the Prussian Minister of
State, to the Marchioness de Vergriegneul, of Brussels, was
given
.yesterday at the Town Hall.

it. The dull,' plodding, inordinately vain, and ridiculoub„,
ambitious man of business, whose soul is in his ledger, and
who rinvdr reads any other hook than his banker's, is pour-
trayed with irrgnite knowledge of ;as is- also that of his
unhappy clerk., whom he treats as his menial, dr• rather as
his slave, 'till—for the gentlest nature's will kick at last—
the young than rescues himself by one bold stroke from the
thraldom of the vulgar, grinding despot. We sal+join the
sketch of this fellow's person ancl manners. It is severe,
to be sure, but as like life, as-the dark, rough wrinkles in
one of Rembrandt's heads :
" Mr. Hillary, the head of the firm, a man of very great
wealth, had risen from being a mere errand..bov, to his pre-
sent eminence in the mercantile World, throtigli a rare combi-
nation of good fortune with personal merit merit, as fir as
concerns a talent for business, joined with prudence and en-
terprise. If ever there came a man within the terms of Burke's
famous philippic, it was Mr. Hillary. His only object was money-
making ; he knew nothing, cared for nothing beyond it ; till
the constant contemplation of his splendid galas, led his de-
sires into the train of personal aggrandisement. With the in-
stinctive propensities of a mean and coarse mind, he bccanx
as tyrannical and insolent in success, as in adversity he had
been supple and cringing. No spark of generous or worthy
feeling had ever been struck from the flinty heart of Jacob
Hillary, of the firm of Hillary, Hungate, and Company. He
was the idol of a constant throng of wealth-worshippers ; to
every body else, he was an object either of contempt or ter-
ror. He had married the widow of a deceased partner, by
whom he had several children, of whom one only lived beyond
infancy ; a generous,•high-spiriteo, enthusiastic girl, whom
her purse-proud father had destined, in his own weak and vain
ambition, to become the wearer of a coronet. On this daz-
zling object were Mr. Hillary's eyes fixed with unwavering
earnestness; he desired and longed to pour the tide of his gold
through the channel of a peerage. In person Mr. Hillary
was of the middle size, but gross and corpulent. There was
no intellect in his shining bald head, fringed with bristling
white hairs—nor was there any expression in his, harsh and
coarse features, but such as faithfully adumbrated his character
as above described."

We must not omit to notice a simple touch of deep
pathos in this tale—that, we mean, where the young clerk
who is far gone in a Consumption, is represented as being
compelled to support his young wife and child by teaching
—what does the reader think ?—the flute! Yes, actually
hastening on his own death—nourishing the malady that is
eating away his lungs, for the purpose of providing his fa-
mily with bread for the passing day ! " Alcibiades the
Young Man" contains many striking and characteristic dia-
logues. " Isaac Cheek, the Man of Wax," by Jerrold—
for there is no mistaking his free, bold pen—shows a per-
fect familiarity with the strange, out-of-the-way characters
that are occasionally to be met • with in London—fellows
who can be referred to no one particular class of the com-
munity ; who are the very Arabs of civilized life ; here to-
day, gone to-morrow ; none knows why, and none knows
whither. " Wraxall's Posthumous Memoirs," is a notice
of the gossiping volumes, but just published, of one of the
most amusing (always excepting lord Orford), of our Eng-
lish memoir writers. Sir Nathaniel had a lively relish for
a bit of Court, or political, scandal ; and bids his readers
also taste its flavour. " The Cotton Manufacture and the
Factory System" is an able, practical article, but full of
very alarming-looking arithmetical calculations. The
" Metaphysician" shows much subtle and ingenious think-
ing ; and " The Devil's Doings" a power of sly, good-
humoured irony.
