Many .of the parcels of gold lately sent to the
Continent have been for Spain. It has been suggested that
these rematances may have been for the purpose of pur-
chasing s ome of the silver in course of receipt for tho
Moorish i nclemnity, but the belief is that they were simply
to pay for wheat, the harvest this year in Spain having beerl
extraordinarily abundant. Nearly all the heavy sup Plies O

means of setting her right and directing the instrument
with NI rhich she was operating under a table little further to

niece to favour me by leaving her seat for a short time, in
order that we might feel the " spirit hands" without any
suspicion of collusion on her part. This, I added, would no
doubt be more satisfactory to her as well as to ourselves.
She declined to do this. After which the reader will not
