Fon the amount of fighting they do, tho armioa of the SpaniBh Amoricau states are romorkably small. Hondo- ran musters only BOO men ; San Halva dor and Costa Rica 1,000 each, and Gautomalu 3,200.

Thus those twelve republics manage to get along and l;oep up their «Verlastiug scrimmuges on a total of 110,884 soldiers, while the X T nited States army last year numbered only 30,670.

Clothed with thu authority and dignity of his ofllce, he would doubtless make a strong impression upon the laboring elnnsos iu England. Tho idea is favor ably entertained by the newnpupers «f Virginia. Tfin Fruodmun's bunk is in a worse condition than heretoforo supposed, and, therefore, tho oommisslonorH, Cress well, Leopold and Purvis, have asked to bo relieved for any further re sponsibility for or on account of said trust, provided their bond may bo re leased from liability after their retire ment, and new commissioners substi luted iu their places. They re sign as the cause of their action, the failure to obtain from congress such legislation us ttioy deemed essential to the proper and speedy execution of the trust re- phlot, in which ho advises the Austrian government to arm and fortify at once against the aggressions of Prussia, lie says tho conflict is inevitable, and advises the concentration of 5,115 pieces of cannon around Vienna.

Of tho greater vioos of Goorgo the Fourth the world Inis heard enough ; hut it scums incredible that any king of England should hnvo boon such a small ereaturo as this man was. Inordinately vain of bin person, he had a perfect mania for buying clothes iu great cpmn- titioH, the IuIIh for which lie invariably left to bo paid by the nation (tlirougli the master of tlm lobes); yothonovor forgot or gave away an urtiolo, and would from time to time require bin vulotu to produea some garments whioli had boon out of use for some years. When bodied it was said of his ward- robe t hat it was huge enough lo fill Mon mouth street, and gorgeous enough for Drury Lane theutor. Another of tho king’s peculiarities is that he always professed lo have > money about him, yet left on his death no less than ' Iho hundred pocket-hooks of various dates, each of which contained a number of gninoui T bunk notes. Ills ON 13 HOOD (gJALITV. Mr. Grcvillo reflates many incidents .ml anecdotes illustrating tlio king's . Imraeter, and very admirably sums it up, indicating at tlio same timu tho one good quitlity tho fourth Goorgo nos- ssod, and which oeoa-ionally led him act like a gentleman nnd a prince. Alluding to corlain discreditable stories, Mr. Grcvillo says : This account corresponds with all I i before hoard, and confirms tho opinion I have long had that a more contemptible, cowardly, selfish, unfutfl ing dog does not exist than this king, oi whom such flattory is constantly lav ished. Jlo has a sort of capriciousgoml nature, arising, however, out of no good principle or good fooling, but which of use lo him, as it cancels in a moment and at small cost a long nooro of solid not. Urinous have only to bohavo with common decency and prudonco, and they uro sure to ho popular, for there is a great and general disposition to pay couit to thorn. + * * There have been goml nnd wise kings, but not many of I bom. Tako thorn ono with another they uro of an inferior charac ter, and this 1 believe to bo ono of tho worst of the kind. Tho littlouess of his Ammeter prevents his displaying tho # latjgorouH fuulis that holongs to great 1 minds, hut with tho vices and weak nesses of tho lowest uml most contempt ible ardor it would bo diflloalt to find disposition more abundantly fur uiskod.” IDS 1MCRKONAL IIAIMTH. i'lio statement of tho king’s personal habits certainly justifies the author’i opinion : "lie leads a most cxtraordinary life ivor gets up till six in the afternoon They come to him nnd open the win dow curtains at six or seven o’clock ii tho morning; he breakfasts in bod, does whatever business ho can b< brought to transact in bod, too; In roads every newspaper quite through, dozes three or four hours, gets up h time for dinner, and goes to bed be tween ton and eleven.

The service is still most severe as on the days they are in waiting thoi labors are incopsaut, and they eunnot tako off their cl ethos ut night, and hardly lift down.” WILLIAM IV. was a man who, corning to the throne .at the mature ago of sixty-five, exoitod hy the exaltation that ho nearly wont mail, and cflstiuguished himself hy a thousand extravagances of lan guage and conduct, to tho alarm and umufcomcnt of all who witnessed his strange freaku ; and though lie shortly aftoiward sobered down into more becoming habits, ho always con tinned t:> be something of a black guard and something more of a hufloon, Jt is but lair to Ins memory at Iho same time to say that lie was a good natiirod, kind-henrtod and well iiienir ing man, and ho always acted uu hon orahlo and straightforward, if not ul .ways a sound nml discreet part. • QtmiON VICTORIA. Of Queen Victoria tho presold vol umes hnvo but. little to say, tliouoh Hint little is pleasant. Tho account the author gives of the young qneou’s first mooting with her enunoil, a few hour’s aftor her uncle King Wllliam’H death, onnnot fail to make upon tho vendor, as it did upon her people, a most favorable impression : June 21st.—Tho king dfoil at twenty minutes after two yesterday morning, and tho young quoen mot tho council at Kensington palace at cloven. Never was anything like tho first, impression she produced, or the chorus of praise and admiration which is raised about lior manner and behavior, nml certainly not without justice, The queen entered the oounoil chamber, accompanied by her two uuolts, who ndvnneed to moot her. Bho bowed to the lords, took her seat, nml then read her speech iu a clear, distinct nnd audible voice, and without any nppenrnnoa of fear or em barrassment. Bho was quite plainly dressed and in mourning. After shn had read her speech aud taken and signed the onth for the security of the church of Bontland, Die privy council- lore were sworn, tho two royal dnkos first, by thomnolvcs ; nnd as those two old men, her unales, knelt boforo her, hwearing allegiance and kissing her hand, I saw her blush up to tho eyes, ns if she felt tho contrast between thoir civil and their natural relations ; and this was the only sign of emotion which she ovineod. Her manner to thorn was very graceful nnd ongoging ; she kissed them both, nml rose from her chair and moved toward tho ilukc of Hussex, who fiuthost from her, and too infirm to reach her. Spring Fashions. Lucy Hooper has taken an early look some specimens of a new nml beauti ful fabric just. dosiguoil for spring wear. In her lust, letter from Paris she tells all about it. It consists of a light-col ored silk hronafle, with a rain'd urn- liesque pattern iu velvet of a shade darker than tho hue of tlio ground work. This sounds rather heavy and unspriug-liko, says Lucy, tint tho tints arc so delicate and’ the patterns so light and open iu effect, that, the niate- ' d looks thoroughly suited to tho hoa- ii. Two shales of green (dark velvet light green silk), two of pale cafe* -lait, anil a lace-like pattern in hluok a wlflto silk ground, wore among the styles looked at. A very new and of- feelive material for spring caps is com posed of bluok cashmere, cut. out in llower-like patterns and applique on strong black silk net, the oilgas of the ilowors and loavos being finished off with a narrow silk braid.
