regard with the warmest affection a place in which so mall,'
years of my life have bees passed, and where I have received
from the clergy and inhabitants such undeviating marks of
goodwill and sympathy on this and former occasions.

pressions you make use of that my daughter's feelings
towards Kew have been so thoroughly appreciated, and
you may be certain that her interest and attachment Will
remain unchanged.

SPANISH FINANCES.

MADRID, 21st April•

Yesterday, in Congress, Senor Alonzo Martinez,
Minister of Finance, made the following reply to
Senor Moyens on the subject of a projected Na-
tional Bank :
" I have already stated that the receipt for the
deposit made by the contractors existed, and I hairo
ordered that it should be sent to the Committee on
the Bill. I now hold a copy of this receipt, which
is as follows :

" We have received from Mr. Lewis Haslewood
the sum of £200,000 sterling, to be held as deposit
by way of guarantee for the fulfilment of a con-
tract submitted by Mr. Haslewood for the appro-
bation of the Spanish Government. and which
proposes the establishment of a bank in Spa'''.
The deposit of the above-mentioned sum 1133
been effected under the conditions expressed in the
letter jointly addressed to us on the Bth INlareD,
1866, by Mr. Haslewood and Don Jose BorraJo7
chairman of the Spanish Finance Commission 13
London, and we undertake to deliver the said sun`
of £200,000 sterling to the proper claim ant thereof,
in conformity with conditions 3 and 4 of the letter
signed by Mr. Haslewood and Don Jose Borraj°'
To this end we sign the receipt in duplicate, Mr'
Haslewood preserving one copy, and Don Jose
Borrajo, as representing the Spanish Government,
the other."

The most important condition above referred to,
continued the Minister, is that which states :
the event of the contract not being fulfilled by the
concessionnaires, the deposit of £200,000 will b 0
delivered to the Spanish Government." The -Minister
did not state with what establishment this deposit
in question was made.
The Epoca of yesterday published the following
paragraph with reference to the current rumours of
approaching disturbances in. Spain.
We have several times mentioned that previous
to the military revolt of January we received letter°
from Loudon, proceeding from the Reform Club,
announcing the proximity of that event. At that
time we attached no credit to intelligence subse-
quently confirmed by facts. We are now recoel;
mended through the same channel to observe th
greatest vigilance, since the plans formed are of ...
most radical and important character. We should t
have said nothing of this had not the Government
anticipated us by giving the alarm ; but if the
danger really should exist, we could not understand
how the conservative interests of the country should
stoically resign themselves to what the future LOY'
bring forth."
It is stated that two amendments will be brought,
fotward in the Senate and Congress to the National
Bank Bill, one declaring it illegal for the Govern:
ment or private undertakings to borrow money tit
longer dates than three months, the other moving
the omission of the clause in the bill that the notes
of the bank shall be a legal tender throughout
Spain.
The Senate has voted 31 articles of the bill for
the abolition of slavery in the Spanish colonial
poszessions. The Congress has commenced the
discussion of the bill for the reduction of the fie .
ing debt.l
