tance of £1,652 3s. 10d. on account of the dividends
on the debt of Ecuador.

above bonds :

"Mexico, Feb. 27, 1866.

RECOLLECTIONS OF A LIFE OF ADVENTURE. By
William Stainer (Mark Tapley, Jun.)—" The two voluines
in which Mr. Starner has recorded his adventures are of
deep and varied interest, and a career so remarkable as his
has seldom been described. The volumes are excessively
entertaining, and in all the varied scenes through which
the author conducts us he is always an intelligent guide
and a pleasant friend. We cheerfully recommend his ad-
ventures to all who read for amusement. There is, too,
much information of positive and practical value to be de-
rived from his work."—Sunday Timm
