COPENHAGEN, Oct. 1829.

Independeetly of the unfinished Palate of the King, there ate two
buildings here, which, from their very remarkable and unique cha-
racter, are entitled to borne partkthr description. They both
emanated from Christian IV. who, if be had turned his attends*
to the arts, would clearly have invented a new, however grotesque,
style of architecture. The first is the- Trinity Church, better
known by the mime of the Round Tower. It is in the Kiobtba-
gergide,oi Dealers-street, and Its first stone was laid by the IN-
Dish Monarch in 1637. Originally intended as a church for the
University, it became, from the increase of the population, the
parish church; but it does its daily and most important service* to
the University, and Is the depository of the eatensive library, and of
the collection of Northern antiquities, in its upper stories. By the
way, why are churches of England useless for six dayi out of the
seven ? Why should they not have their upper stories too; and
apply them to the purposes of daily life—to become libraries,
school*, and places of public utility. An additional story added
t-• a church would cost little; • and boundless are the uses to Wiikh
it nalcha be turned. Here the utility is of hourly obviousness • and
certainly the choir is not desecrated by the good deeds Whab are

" The whole amount of the public debt of Spain is 16 billions

the Spanish Funds received from Madrid, we bad them at the fol-
lowing prices :

not bleak his word to gain ten pauk ; but even with this and the
robberies of their servants (if they be Italians), they are yet better

Shrewsbury has taken the Wenn* Palace ; while Lady Virestmor-
Wel rents another outside the Porta Pia, belonging to the family
of Pants'. Sir George Warreoder, who has lately arrived, and is
sitting a succession of dinners at Heidi% is in treaty for another
palace ; and so they say is Mr. Charles Grant ; and at this moment
there is a Maestro di Oise on the lookout for a suitable palace for
the Marquis of Hertford, who is expected soon. A comikierabie
sum has been offered to one Italian Nobleman, but I believe the
engagement is broken all—Drag Paper.
RONAN BANDITTI.—There it now in one of tho

the numbers of which he subsequently raised to two hundred.—
Amongst the most daring exploits of this band. prior to their be-
coming so numerous, was the stonnieg of a Convent of Nuns at
Mount Corned', la the middle of the day, sad carrying off 34
icropuish who were there tor education. and whom ha selected
from the others, having previowly obtained information that their
parents were in circumstances to pay a heavy ragwort'. They were
kept ten, and some nth twenty days in the mountaiss, where (to
his credit be it spokes') every attention and respect the situation
and their safe keeping warranted, was paid them. The ransom
demanded hr each varied from 200 to 1,000 dollars; and for which
