" Extremely amusing volumes. Lady Hester Stanhope possessed
a rapid and deep insight into human eltaracter, and her remarks
upon the distinguished persons with whom she was acquainted, as
well as the many travellers who visited her at Joon, are always
pointed and searching, if not always just. All the passages relating
to her uncle, Mr. Pitt, are of striking interest, and- her strictures
upon the character and conduct of the politicians and intriguan s of
the day, are irresistibly amusing and forcible."—Morning Chronicle.

SECOND EDIT[ON of REVELATIONS of
SPAIN, in 1845.

By T. M. HUGHES, Esq.
This New Edition has been entirely revised and enlarged, and the
History of Events brought down to the present moment. It contains
also an accurate Analysis of the Reform in the Constitution just pro
mitigated.

" Ihe work recently published in London, entitled Revelations of
Spain, contains a most interesting account of the events from the fall
of Espartero to the present day, which are appreciated in a moaner
worthy of a free and enlightened country."—Eco del Comercio of
Madrid.

" The contemporary history of Spain has been accurately and im-
partially written in this work. The prenunciamen os are described
with the greatest energy, while the history of the Spanish Camarillas
is of the utmost interest and value."—Madrid Espectador.

sons in Africa. Accompanying the circular is a plan
of colonisation, holding,,out to the settlers certain ad-
vantages, which may be thus summed up :
" Such non-commissioned officers and privates, as shall on
their own application be chosen as military colonists, are to
be allowed a six months' furlough to go and get married.
They and their wives are to have their travelling expenses
paid both in going and returning. Whatever furniture or
goods they may possess, are removed to the colony at the ex-
pense of the state. The state undertakes to pay all the ex,
pense of building Villages, and will furnish all matters not
found onthe spOt; the Colonist being expectect to give only his
own labour and that's& his wife.' The state engages to give
to each family a pair of oxen for tillage, two cows, ten sheep,
a sow,.two ploughs, a cart, and a sufficiency of the smaller
agricultural implements. The military colonists are to receive
food, pay, clothing, and all the allowances of infantry sol-
diers for three years. Each colonist will receive ten hectares
of land fit for tillage, of which he is to remain full owner
when once married and settled. The officers, whose presence
may be judged necessary for carrying out this plan of military
colonisation. are to receive land in the following proportion :
Colonels or Lieutenant-Colonels, five portions, or fifty hectares;
Chef de Battalion, four portions; Captain, three; and Lieu-
tenant, two. Their houses are to be built at the expense of
the State, but they are not to receive any indemnity for fur-
niture or agricultural implements. 'f he colonists are te re-
ceive trees of all kinds, and seeds for their first crop. An ad-
vance of 400 f. may be given them for indispensable articles
of furniture, on condition that they repay it either in money,
er the produce of their land, in a space of three years. The
colonists are authorised to bring back with them some indi-
viduals of their family. If they return with their wife only,
they are to be joined in the cultivation of the land with any
one of their comrades that they may prefer. Atter three
years, the colonists will not be entitled to either pay, pro-
vision..., or allowance. They must thenceforward provide for
their own existence."
The publication of this circular has coiled forth con-
siderable animadversion from nearly all the Opposition
press. They declare his conduct to be illegal, and
directly opposed to the wishes of the Government and
the Chamhers. We subjoin a few extracts, to show how
ur Contemporaries regard this act of the Governor-
Gen-ral. The National uses the following language:—
We defy Marshal Soult to defend by his silence this new
vagary of the Atrican hero. Hitherto the admonitions ad-
dressed to the adviser of the rolsting of the Dahra, the recom-
mender of the crapaudine and the eon rouge, have been able
to remain unknown ; but at present in face of the publicity
imprudently given by the Governor of Algeria to his agricul-
tural conceptions, the disavowal must be public, and it cannot
be too quickly given to satisfy the public mind, impatient to
know if there is anywhere a man more powerful than the con-
stitution itself."
The Sie de uses nearly similar language.
From a report by Captain ORMAND BARBAYAN, which
appears in the Journal du flaw e of the 26th, we extract
the following :

" A short time previoas to my arrival in the River Melia-
core, the Messange, Government schooner, dispatched by M.
Baudin, commander of the African station, had arrived, in
order to effect a treaty of commerce with the chiefs of that
river, by which the French were to enjoy all the privileges
accorded to ether nations. As soon as the English knew of
this they sent a Chargé d'Affaires to the ch efs to induce them
to camel :he treaty concluded with us, and make another, by
which all nations but England were to be exc uded from trad-
ing in the river. it was only by the positive refusal of
Amareld, one of the principal chiefs, that they were com-
pel:ed to abandon their project. This occurred during my
sojourn on the river."
Accerding to the Courrier Fiauptis the Minister of
Commerce had arrangect with the Clianiber of Commerce
ofPatie to send out to Mayotte, samp!, e of the various
productions of Parisian industry, which, as well as otht r
French manufucturee, are to be exposed in the Govern-
ment Court of Justice, when traders and the natives of
the coast of Africa and Madag,asear may inspi,ct them.
The delay fixed by the Minister of Public Works for
sending in the registers, lists of subscriptions, and other
documents relative to the adjudication of the Great
Northern Railroad of France and the Fampoux and
Hazebrouck branch line expired on Monday, Aug. 25, at
midnight. A single Company has complied with the
required formalities for the Northern line. The princi-
pal subscribers are— Nlessrs. de Rothschild, Brothers ;
[lottingut r and Co.; Baring, Brothers, and Co.; Laffitte,
Bleunt, and Co.; Fillet Will and Co. ; J. Lefebvre and
Co.; Gouin and Co.; P‘pin-Lehalleur ; Decan ; Baron
Atthalin ; Admiral de Rosamel ; the Duke de TioSiise ;
and a number of the Miceivers• General. The capital for
the Northern line is fixed at 150 millions ; it is to be
raised to 170 millions in case of the junction of the Fam-
poux line, and to 200 millions in case of the ulterior
junction of that of St. Quentin. All the shares are deli-
vered at par. The acte de societe, deposited with the
Minister of Commerce the same day, constitutes the
Board of Directors as follows :—Baron J. de Rothschild,
President; Admiral de Rosamel, Peer of France; P. Hot-
tinguer ; C. Laffitte; Pepin-Lehalleur; A. d'Eicthal, Re-
gent of the Bank of France ; E. Pereire, Director of the
Sr. Germain Railroad Company; A.Thurneyssen, banker;
Ceillard, sen.; • A. Gouin, Deputy; Dellebecque, Deputy;
the Duke de Galliera ; Jameson, banker ; Blount,
banker ; Baron N. de Rothschild, banker ; the Duke de
Mouchy ; F. Baring, banker ; T. Baring, banker ; J.
Moss, President of the Grand Junction Railroad; Baron
de Rothschild, banker ; J. Masterman, M.P. ; W,
Chaplin, President of the Southampton Railroad Com-
p Any ; and F. Mill.', Vice-President of the Dover Rail-
road Company. The functions of the Directors are gra-
tuitous. Fer the Fampoux and Hazebrouck line two lists
were sent in—one by a special company, having the
same officers as that mentioned above for the Northern
line, with a capital of twenty millions ; the other by a
company formed by M. O'Neil, with a capital of sixteen
millions.

The French Funds and Railroad Share-market were

was in'the promises of the new lines.

some of the companies which are reconstituting themselves
for a fresh struggle next session, find good support, notwith-
standing the expense incurred, and which, in some cases, is
less than might have been supposed. The North Kent Corn •
pany have re-issued their shares, and the list below will
show that the shareholders have not lost confidence.
The Dublin and Galway Company too, which, but for
mismanagement, must have obtained its Act last year, is
profiting by experience, and besides a thorough weeding out
of the doubtful subscribers or applicants, will benefit by the
delay, if we mai judge by the advices from Dublin, in con-
sequence of having leisure and opportunity to lay out a per-
fect line, in which work Sir J. Al'Neil 4nd an immense num-
berof assistants are said to be now engaged. The railway
is a most important one for the sister kingdom, and receives
such countenance there as must, with common prudence, we
should think, render it entirely indepen&nt of mere specu-
lators and premium-hunters. The shares of the old coin-
pani6 are much the same to-day, and those of the new lines
have been in some instances higher.

The accounts received by the Cambria are generally con-
sidered at Liverpool to be in favour of cotton advancing in
price. The market yesterday was consequently very firm.
About 8,000 bags were sold, 2,000 being on speculation, at
fall prices. There was a large business doing in shares, at
good prices.
fhe accounts from America are of chief interest in connec-
tion with political matters, and what will be the
upshot of the Mexican quarrel few can determine. State
securitiei have brightening prospects, it would seem, from the
following
A few years will suffice to create in the public mind a
confidence in American securities, almost as great as ever
existed, but this confidence will not lead capitalists into the
extravagant loans heretofore so easily obtained by specu-
lators from the United States. Our State stocks are daily
improving as securities for permanent investment, and as such
hold out great inducements to the capitalists of Europe, on
account of the high rate of interest compared with the stock
investments of other countries. The bankruptcy that have
overtaken many of the States of the Union will ultimately
have a favourable effect upon the whole. The delinquency
of a few has operated as a check upon the others, and com-
pelled them to pause in the financial policy they were pur•
suing. Had the extravagant expenditures made for several
veers by many of the States been continued a
little longer, or had not some of thembeen
overtaken t ith insolvency as they were, many
of the States that have by the must rigid economy, and an
abandonment of expenditures upon their public wee ks, been
able to promptly meet the interest on their debts, would have
become bankrupt and fallen with the others. A few were
sacrificed to preserve the rest. Had the States of New York
and Ohio gone on a short time longer in the course they were
pursuing when the revulsion came and swept away those cf
less strength and more limited resources, they must inevi
tably have been swallowed up in the storm, and have ranked
with Pennsylvania, Maryland, and other delinquent States.
It was only with the greatest difficulty they were able to
weather the storm, and only by the exercise of the greatest
skill in the ;management of their fivances have they been
able to sustain Weir credit."
The market for the English Stocks has been rather de-
pressed
to-day again, on account of the warlike tenor of the
news from Me415;0. Powols have receded to 99 and .99%
for present transfer, and to 9914, and 99 for account. Ex-
chequer-bills have been at 475. to 495. premium. The
New Three.and,a-Quarter per Cents, have been 1024 to 14,
and Ole T4PP pee Ceiltie 99% to Bank Stock is worth

THE ARTEEIEN WELL AT SOUTHAMPTON.—The
operations for boring for this well, which has already attained
a greater depth than any other in the kingdom, hive for some
time been suspended. Although the present depth of upwards
of 1,300 feet has been obtained only at a very great outlay, the
present supply of water is quite deficient for the purposes of the
town, nor does it appear that the hill in which the boring has
taken place contains any adequate water reservoir. It has been
suggested that if the boring be continued about 200 or 300 feet
deeper into the lower green sand, the supply may be found suf-
ficiently ample. The well is sunk at the top of the hill on
which the race-course is situate, about two miles from
Southampton
FIRE AT GUILDHALL COFFEE HOUSE.—Thursday
the al:notes of this establishment were greatly alarmed by the
intense heat felt in alino,t every ro,,m of the house. The
fire-brigade from Watling-street were sent for, when it was
discovered that the caese of the annoyance was Occasioned
by a lar:t:e beam of bond timber in close communication with
the flooring having ignited. The consequences, no doubt,
would have been very rerious but for its timely discovery.
After great trouble, by cutting away a portion of the build-
ing, the fears of those beloilsing to the establishment were
allayed.
BIRTH IN A CAB —Thurs Irty morning, between
ten and eleven o'clock, the wife of Mr. T. Smedgrove,- an
optician, residirg in Ilniori.strect, Borough, on her return
home front Knightsbridge, was taken very ill in -Piccadilly,
when she called a cab, in order to hasten home. On the*arrival
of the cab at Mr. Smedgrove's reside nee it was discovered
that Mrs Smedgrove had given birth to a fine boy. She was
in a very exhaused state, but soon rallied, and the mother and
044dd are doing well,

ing degs, contains more glaring blunders than there are
clauses in it. To " explain and amend" it would be almost
impossible ; the most convenient way will be to repeal it, and
make another enactment. Such is the I :atr, of lov-malting in
1845., Instead of framillg Shi*iit,i Lpt simple, they
are'ilpun out, and ful of very fine phrase , and, thereby become
almost unintelligible and confounded. Instead of a clause
being finished properly, it is but half so, and is completed by
some other section, making the whole a iiece of matter uncon-
