STOCKHOLM, AuG. s.—lt is reported that an
English mercantile house has offered 1,600,000 Swedish bank
dollars for the iron works and estates of the King, in North
Bothnia, with the share in the rich mineral tract of Gelliwara,
and that the bargain is nearly concluded.
THE STANHOPE DIARY.—The Memoirs of Lady
Hestor Stanhope continue to excite the most intense interest.
" During Mr. Pitt s lifetime (observes the Chronicle) she was
Pattered and honoured by all the higher clones, and especially
by the princes, princesses, and the Cgurt circle, and she was
pretty nearly worshipped by the place-hunters. Her influence
with her uncle was great, and she used it generously. But
while she thus, according to the proverb, made a number of
enemiesungrate mfualpeig peopleerisons, she,

course of conduct, which was upon occasions supercilious and
arrogant to a degree, and by her unfortunate facility of saying
sharp things with the most stinging effect. She certainly pos.
ses,ed a rapid and deep insight into human character, and her
remarks upon the distinguished persons with whom ,he was
acquainted, as well as the many travellers who visited her at
Jooa, are always pointed and searching, if not always just. As
it may easily be presumed, she idolized her uncle's memory ; yet
it cannot be fairly said her praise of him was exaggerated. All

Prince of Wales she thought to be the falsest of the false, but
expressed the warmest esteem for the Duke of York and his
younger brothers. Her strictures upon the character and con-
d ;et of the Duchess of Devonshire, and other she-politicians
and intreguantes of the day, are spiteful in the extreme, but
rresistably amusing and forcible."
EXECUTION.—On Monday, at 12 o'clock, Benjamin
Ellison, an old man upwards of sixty years of age, who was
convicted at the last Cornwall Assizes of the wilful murder of
Mil. Ruth Seaman, at Penzance, was executed at Bodmin.
The prisoner, who exhibited great firmness, confessed his
guilt to the chaplain before ascending the drop.
