ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.  But few British goods find their way into Granada, lasing generally rejected on account of their expense. The principal are iron and brass bedsteads, though these have to compete with Spanish imita. Lops, mostly from Seville. There is scarcely any genuine English cutlery to be found there, that article being principally supplied from Germany. American ironware is also found. English calicoes and stockings are sold three, but the drapery goods are mostly German, French, and Catalan.  The newest veil from Paris is called le groin de Leavte. It is made of exceedingly fine tulle with two or three round spots of black chenille. The spots are so arranged that when the almost invisible veil is worn one rests near the eye, one on the left sided the chin, and one above the lip, and ao resemble the 'beauty spots" of the powdered beauties of olden -days—hence the name. The mystery attending the death of the unknown Frenchman, whose body was found with bullet wounds in it under the elitist St. Margaret's, Dover, has been cleared up by the man's brother, Mr. Liar rison,who has identified the deceased's clothing.
