capitalists of continental Europe will be placed
at your disposal. Will you take advantage OF

has published there, LofEz ordered Col Carr

The letter of the latter, while throwing some
new light on the occurrences in Cuba, does not
appear TO us to give so impartial an account Of
them as il should do. The one hundred and
sixty remaining prisoners are on their wsy to
Spain. They ought to have been intercepted I;
and released, il sitter examination il was proved,
that they had engaged 10 the enterprise owing

The Celebrated John Foster ON Autographs,

A lady, whose friends reside in this country
sent a volume, intended as an album, to John
Foster, with a request that he would introduce
il by some fitting contribution. He returned
the volume with the following reasons for moi
writing in it. The original manuscript is in
the possession of gentleman in this city
who has furnished us with a copy for publ
t-tion:
The circumstance that this elegant volume is
as yet unstained with ink, affords me particu-
lar advan' ge for doing what should have
wished to do, even if il had begun to lose that
fortunate condition, mely, to suggest in friendly
and respectful terms to the lady who is it's pro.
prietor, whether it will not be we'll to save il
from the o to which the denomination let
tered on the back threatens to doom it since
there are many uses to which it might be more
benefcialy applied
TO the ladies', | have honestly protested
against the prevailing fashion, as an extreme
folly, and in several instances have been sue
cessful in persuading them to abandon it.
am sincerely sorry that they should have been
c,ught by so trivia a fame. The persons who
are requested to write feel IT very irksome Gf
may judge from MYSELF to comply, or to re-
fuse. To insert mere name, with some trite
saying, text or the like, both appears very un.
meaning thing to do, and is known to be less
than is expected. AMI if the writers be re.
qnested to do something more, they are at loss
what to write. There is nothing to guide or
suggest they 1e to cast about vaguely for
some thing or other, which tn y know not where
to find nor how 10 make, and the unwelcome
task often results in some insipid tmoralizing,
some transcript of an often transcribed and well
known scrap of verse, or "a frequent resource,
and presumed more acceptable,) some attempt
at nsinuatng compliment to the fair and
amiabIe ,wner Of the book. The consequence
is that if at last it bee ONES FULL 1t is an insg
nificant and prohtless farrago, incomparaby less
worth than any one Of the most ordinary printed
volumes in her possession.
As to the mere matter of having the names
and handwriting of great variety of persons.
even if of some note, never could compre.
bend how it could be of any material interest
Let me persuade the lady to whom this vol
ume belongs, that vastly better use of it will
be, to make it the receptacle of the most inter
csting reflections that may occasionally be sug
gested to her own mind, of brief notices of the
most remarkasae things of any kind which she
would most wish TO remember, and Of such re
ferences to what may strike her most in reading
as will give prompt facility Of finding the place
again.
In whatever manner she may endeavor to
make il available to her Improvement and plea
sure, she has the most sincere good wishes OF
]. FOSTER.

PUBLIC PARKs--GRATrs seems TO be the
wish of many of our citizens that some pro.
vision should be taken TO secure ground for pub.
lie parks, before the further progress ofinprove-
ments In the suburbs Of the city renders it i'm.
practicable. One great difficulty in the way is
the low state of the finances of the city, and tho
impolicy Of increasing the taxes. Now have
an idea that public parks may be obtained with.
out the outlay Of public money, in this wise
Say that park Of twenty or twenty-five acres
is wanted in any particular locality let the city
purchase about double that quantity of land
and set of the desired quantity for park, and
lay out vide street around il; then, divide the
remainder Of the property into convenient sized
lots, and let these lots be sold, and | have no
doubt the price they would bring, on account of
their situation adjoining such Park, would oyer.
pay the entire cost Of the property. As there
would be no difficulty in the city corporation OBJ
tanning the property on credit Of twenty five
years, it would be good policy to sell the lots so
a. to require only about the interest on the pur.
chase-money, and FIVE per cent per annum on the
principal until they nre paid for. This liberal
credit would greatly enhance their Value
