The Memorial Bordelais of the 31st ult. says :
"We are assured on unquestionable authority, that the
budget of the expenses of Don Carlos amounts to five mil-
lions of rials a month, consequently, the annual expense is

According to a statement which there is every rea-
son to believe correct, there have been 3,000 convents sup-
pressed within the last three years. The example was set
by the Emperor of Russia, who, by in Ukase, dated 31st
July, 1832, abolished 187 convents of monks. This was
followed by the King of Prussia, who, by a Royal Order,
secularised all the convents in the Duchy of Posen. In
1834, Don Pedro put down 300 convents, and Spain has
lately abolished 1,800.
AGNES SERLE, BY THE AUTHOR OF " TILE
HEntEss."—The authoress of " Agnes Serle" has proved
herself to be worthy of a place among the most distinguished
living writers. There is in this new novel an union of the
comic and the romantic, which cannot fail to be generally
attractive. The heroine is delineated in a high vein of ori-
ginality and power. The work is altogether distinguished
by great vivacity, but more of pathos and tragedy.

French schooner, laden with tobacco and spirits, which he
captured off the coast of Ireland. This is the second smug-
gling vessel be has taken within the last three weeks. The
