It will be in the recollection of our readers that,
amongst the first warlike steps taken by King Fer-
dinand, after he had known of our determinat►on to
prevent him from molesting Portugal, was a mili-
tary expedition to the Canary Islands, where it
could by no possibility be wanted, except on the
supposition that Spain had predetermined to go on
with.her aggression, reckless of the certain conse-
quence—war with England. The very first advice
of the arrival of that armament, commanded by
General Morales, of Colombian notoriety, is stated
as follows, in letters from Teneriffe of the 15th
April :
" The 7th regiment, of Albuera, arrived from Ceuta at
Teneriffe, revolted on the 4th of April, demanding arrears
of pay, which could not be complied with, as the treasury
was empty. Much consternation prevailed throughout the
Island as to the result of the mutiny. Twelve hundred
men with arms in their hands, and without food, was a
frightful spectacle. It was thought that the local authori-
ties must have recourse to forced contributions."

It was currently reported, and believed at Tene-
riffe, that the Island would soon be in the occupation
of French troops, instructions having been received
by the French Consul from his Government pre-
paratory to that measure. The British merchants
were under great uneasiness as to the security of
their property.—Morning Chronicle.
SINGULAR HUMANITY.—Cooks, we know;
are condemned to wade through slaughter to a
matelotte, but none that we ever heard of has
so completely shut the gates of mercy on eel-
kind as Mr. Ude.—" Matelotte of eels. Take
one or two live eels : throw them into the fire.
As they are twisting about on all sides, lay hold
of them with a towel in your ,hand, and skin
them from head to tail. This method is the
best, as it is the means of drawing out all the
oil, which is unpalatable."—Liverpool Albion.

LONDON FEVER HOSPITAL.--A. Public
Meeting was held yesterday at the City of Lon-
don Tavern, for the purpose of making known
the present state of the Hospital ; which, in con-
sequence of the numerous claims upon the be-
nevolence of the Institution, for several years
last, and the consequent increase of its expences,
was under the necessity either of limiting its use-
fulness, or calling upon the public for assistance.
The Lord Mayor took the Chair, and was sup-
ported by the Bishop of Chester, Lord 13exley,
Dr. Birkbeck, &c. who respectively urged the
consideration of the necessities of the Institution,
and the claims it had for public support; and it was
resolved that the London Bankers be requested
to receive donations in favour of the laudable
objects of the Institution.
