PERSONAL.

We notice in several journals the assertion that
W. Victor Corsiieant, who has lately returned to /
rope from Texas mas now renounced the social theory
Of Fourier and proposes TO establish in Texas colony
Of the ordinary character, IN place Of Phaansteran
colony which be is said TO have he'd there and which
is said to have failed. As NJ. Considerant ha, FOR
many wears been the head of the Fourersc schoo Of
socialists this alleged change of bis views is regarded
by the opponents OF tina. System al event OF con-
siderable importance.
We had the pleasure of converting with NJ. Con-
sderant at some length when he was in this city,
month or two since, on his way TO Europe, and are
COW inced that the allegation, respecting change IN
his views is perfectly destitute OF truth. ably
had any sucb change taken place he could hardly have
kept it secret here; and are Lether advocates
Ior opponents Of Fouriers social system, we s,e not
likely to be msled by Partially either way. A. Tor
the of er allegation that Consderan has sttsnpei
q Pha'ar steiisn colony in Texss, snd that i. mss
failed, the story is papaby fslse. lie has b.en en-
gagged with company in Paris n q LAM speculation,
combined with an attempt TO introduce French colo
nists buyers of the lands OF the company. That en-
tersrise is believed to have ended dsastrousy but it
had ro.hing more to do with Fourier.m thsn any
other lard speculation. The company, We beieye,
purpose to Try IT again, however, on pretty much the
same basis as before, though with the benefit Of an
expensive experience aud they, may perhaps, hsye
better fortune.
The Rev. DR.. Chaplin Of this city hs, been preach
ing for several weeks to crowded audiences in the
various Universalist Churches OF Boston LIST Sue
dsy he made happy and thrilling illusions to the
Atlantic Cable triumph.
