PUBLISHED MSS.—This important and interesting work
In
relation to it La Presse observes :—" Among our con-
temporaries there is one who is the repository of the
most important secrets, of the most confidential commu-
nications of the Emperor—that person is General
Montholon. If the Count Las Cases,
_ who had the
opportunity of recording during only thirteen months,
the conversations, &e., of Napoleon has nevertheless
furnished us with the most curious revelations, what
intense in' crest may not be expected to pervade ' The
History of the Captivity of St. Helena '—the work of
one who shared, during Six YEARS, the agony of this
new Prometheus ; who passed each hour of the day in
talking with ,him on the events of his reign, or in
writing at his dictation, who for forty-two nights ktpt
watch over his death-bed ; who closed his eyes, and re-
ceived his last sigh ; and who has thus retained a record
of each moment of that existence—of that period of ab-
sorbing, and yet serene remembrance. Unexpectel
light will be diffused by the recital of General Month°.
lon. Numbers of facts are now first made public in this
work—numbers of false statements completely refuted."
THE LATE LADY HESTER STANHOPE.— In no-
ticing the Memoirs, lately published, of this remarkable
individual, the Chronicle observes:—" She was a person
of great shrewdness and ability, who, in early life, en-
joyed every advantage, rank, wealth, and a brilliant po-
sition at the British Court could supply, and who, in later
life exercised a species of sovereignty in Mount Leba-
non. In both positions she was a conspicuous person-
age—admired by many, feared by more, and wielding a
degree of power over her fellow mortals which has rarely
fallen to the lot of any woman not born in the purple,'
and succeeding dominion, or not raised to it snbstan-
tially as a Royal favourite. She was the daughter of
that eccentric philosopher and republican theorist, Earlro
Stanhope, by a daughter of the great Lord

INCREASE OF MEMBERS IN THE MANCHESTER
AmEsr,rum.—This time last year this excellent institution
numbered 1,682 members ; its present number is 2,005; show-
ing an increase at the same period of the year of 323 mem-
bers. We believe that, in every respect, and in almost every
department, the institution is in a satisfactory, and, indeed,
flourishing state.— Blanchester Guardian.
Sir James Graham had an interview with the DOA
of Buccleuch yesterday.
