Spain is a perfect Amazon, as the follow
ing account Of her daily employments will
show -
At 3 o'clock, not Of the morning, but of
The afternoon, she rises Hardly dressed,
for the toilet is the least Of her cares, she
has q very light and elegant cquipage har-
messed, a present from the Queen of En-
gland, in which she seats herself alone,
though sometimes with her noble lord, to
the great terror ofthc latter, who looks upon
for his royal half drives the me,tlcsome ami
mails ut a furious rate. At 5 o'clock dinner
Is served, and as soon as the repast is over,
Isabel III. exercises at fencing, which she
varies by changing the pistol for the sword,
according to her fancy after which she
mounts Il saddle horse. The exercises en-
dcd, she plays, dances, sings, and the like,
ill morning, when the council of ministers,
at which she always presides, takes place.
When the iunctionaries communicate their
wish to sleep, she dismisscs them, and re-
mains alone till seven, the hour at which
the prince, her spouse, who rctires at eleven
OF the evening, rises, which is precisely the
moment she retires.
O'CoNSELL's W1LL.-The London
Times of the Sd instant, thus speaks Of the
late Mr.. O'Connell's will -
cit is said that the whole of the landed
property in Kerry, including Darrynane
Abby, and the town residence in Merrion
square, have been bcqueathed 10 Mr.. Mau-
rice O'Conncl, who is already handsomely
provided for in the Prerogatve Court, is not,
it is added, mentioned in the will. These
are the only items that have transpired
bnt as it is generally believed that there
will be a toIcrably heavy draw upon the
funds of the insurance offices, consequent
upon the death Of MIR. O'Connell, it may be
inferred that provisions has been made for
the other members Of his numerous family"
How TO GET AN ENEsIY.-Loan man
small sum Of money for a day. Call upon
him in week for it. Wait two months
In three months insist upon his paying you.
He will get angry-denounce you, and ever
after speak of you in abusive terms We
have seen this experiment tried repeatedly,
and never knew it to fail. There is no
more effectual way 10 get an enemy than to
loan money to brassy and impudent rascal.
Sir Walter Scott, heir to the title of the great
novelist who built Abbotsford, took place
from that elegant mansion in the early part
of May, and was accompanied by every ex-
preston of popular sympathy. The trades

carriages and proceeded with the hearse to
Melrose Cross, where they drew up in two
lines, and uncovered while the mourners
passed OH. All the shops and public houses
were closed, not in MeIrose alone but in
Darnic. Mr.. Walter Scott Lockhart of the
10th I.anccrs-heir to the landed estates
but not TO the title which becomes extinct
was the chief mourners.
Archdeacon Williams performed the ftt-
neral obseques as he had done in the case
ofthe iilustrious author Of Waverley, amid
the ruins of Melrose Abbey-runs render
ed immortal in his prose and verse.
Thus ends the honors which Sir Walter,

died insolvent, wh1lstthe heirtohis title a
soldier in India, has died childless.
