Every one who is familiar with the appearance of any sitting o f more th an the House of Lords dining ordinary importance cannot but have a very lively remembrance of the fact that, as a Legislative Cham ber, it is virtually Headless. In the House of Com mons matters are altogether differently arranged. There, the Speaker presides with authority. Con fronting him, the Sergeant-at-Arms—something like Mr. PELL'S high official friend in armour and s ilk stockings (vide " Pickwick") —sits there nightly dur ing the session, without the armour, it is true, but with the silk stockings, and having that little spind, ling Court sword at his side, which is worn, we presume, as a symbol of his (the Ser geant-at-Arms') authority. Regulating always at his own free will and pleasure the sequence of the debaters taking part in any discussion, the Speaker can always prevent, by a glance of the eye, or by one spoken word (a name) the risk of any un seemly contention among those who are desirous el • claitt.ing the attention, or, in other words, of obtain ing the ear, of Parliament. Whenever there' is a question of Order, or, to speak more accurately, when ever there is a doubt as to its having been violated, one sentence from the lips of the Speaker is sufficient even in the milst of the to restore tranquillity, angriest dispute. His word is the law. He is, there, we repeat, presiding over the proceedings of the House of Commons at all times•---with authority. I n recognition of this every word uttered while he is in the Chilr is, as though it were, addressed to himself alone, and to him individually. _Throughout the whOle THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1869. of the discussions, whoever is nominally addressing the House is pointedly addressing him as " Sir," or " Mr. Speaker." In striking contrast to all this, the Lord High Chancellor of England is only by a figure of speech, as one may say, the Chairman or Speaker of the House of Lords. It is by little better than a fiction that he presides over its proceedings. As though it were from the fact of his having no chair to sit in as head of the house, he is absolutely without any of the authority usually accorded to the chairman of every great public meeting. The noble lords who are addressing the House are really addressing the House—not the Chancellor. Throughout their remarks they ara continually saying, " My Lords" not "My Lord." The Chancellor is there on the Woolsack arrayed in his black silk robe and his full-bottomed wig ; but, he sits there as one may say mumchance. Unless, when, in the ezereis.t of a right not accorded to the Speiker of the House of Commons—an official, so called, upon the lucus a nun lucendu principle—he, literally, at these excep tional intervals, of his own choosing, steps aside from the Woolsack, still arrayed in his robe and flowing wig, when he himself, we say, takes part in their lordships' discussion. That privilege, the privilege of speech, he certainly possesses. Bat, as to any autho rity he might be supposed to have for maintain ing order in their Lordships' House, or in regulating its proceedings, he has, to all intents and purposes, none. Yesterday this clearly unsatisfactory state of things in regard to the conduct of public business in the House of Lords, was brought under the consideration of that branch of the Legislature by the noble and learned Lord, the Master of the Rolls. Lord ROMILLT'S reason for doing so was, in itself, sufficiently notorious—the °cession, in fact, arising out of the unseemly and most disorderly manifestations of applause which have, more than once of late, proceeded from the occupants of the Strangers' Gallery. Daring the late noble debate on the Irish Church Bill in the House of Lords, we have ourselves heard proceeding from that Strangers' Gallery —not merely loud cries of " Hear, hear," technically called. "Cheers," whea either voci ferous or long sustained, but the stamping of feet and the clapping of hands, and now and then, even, or we are very greatly mistaken, what is terme I among Orangemen the Kentish Fire ! Now, applause of any kind would be at all times simply dis grac2,ful, proceeding from that particular portion of the House of Lords set apart for the accommoda tion of Strangers. But applause so hnpassione 1, so noisy, and so wholly unrestrained in its character, was nothing less than outrageous. It certainly ap pears most desirable that the nominal Iliad of the House, the Lord High Chancellor, should be empowered by their lordships to prevent the re currence of any such disorderly manifestations. It is no doubt perfectly true, as was observed last even ing by the noble and learned lord n)w the oc.nipant of the Woolsack,' that there are three remark able distinctions between the Speaker of the House of Commons and that so-called Speaker of the House of Lords, the Lord Chancel lor. Namely, First of all that the Speaker is chosen by those who wish to select him for the office; secondly, that he is chosen from among members distinguished by their long acquaintance with the business of the House, and to whose deci sions on points of order or calls to order implicit de ference is therefore paid ; and, thirdly, that he cannot be a partisan, has no opportunity of speaking except iu c.mrnittee, and is generally supposed to be a person free from the trammels of party. The L)rd Chan cellor being—not a doubt of it—at a very great dis tivantage in every one of these prtienlars ! Nevertheless, for all that, we cannot but think that the noble an 1 learned lard the occupant of the Wool sack, should have place 1 in his hands at Ist the power of keeping order—fa - , as the Marquis of SALts- URY well said last ereuing, if there should dunce to be a tyrannical Lord Cllancell:)r, thc House could but t.kk,2 away fro:n hi•a the authority w'tich it is now pr )pos.,d sholl I be co.iti IA to th o ea dt v i s o f .he ‘Voilsack in his etpa ity as firit Pe, , r of the producer. There is no reason that we can see why the principle should not be extended—why the national exchequer should not, as wellas the local rates, be drawn upon for assisting an arrangement so thoroughly advantageous to all parties. Mr. GOSCHEN intimated, indeed, that this matter was under the con sideration of the Government, and should they resolve upon carrying it out, Sir WILLIAM HUTT will see realised a project which he urged repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, thirty years ago. Of course there are difficulties of detail, and the Government as well as the boards of guardians will have to guard against any abuse of their office by persons who do not require their assistance. But of the soundness of the principle that the Government in some shape, whether locally or imperially, should assist emigra tion, we have no manner of doubt.

The folowing char.ning trans'Ation app3ars, here, in our columns for the first time—and it does so not inappropriately in the midst of the present spring-like approach of Midsummer. It is from the pen of a true poet, Denis Florence McCarthy—the Irish lyrist who has already translated so exquisitely various masterpieces from the French of Andre Chenier and from the Spa nish of Pedro Calderon. The vernal stanzas, thus daintily " done , :-_nto English " by the Irish Poet, are frQ'n the delicate and delicious French original ot''lll. le Chevalier de Chatelain. They are entitled "In the Foresit," and run as fol lows Hark ! on my ear. Pleasant and al . , e, The jocund voice of spring doth fall T'ancy ther rise, Mount L) the skies, And follow Nature's tuneful call. Scarce is the porch 01 tho green church Thrown open where the blithe birds pray, When each ono sings, Bustling his wings, And with a hymn salutes the day. Up frum the wold, A Blondin bold, The squirrel climbs to the top of tho tree, Woe to its guests In their soft nests, For ah ! a hungry hunter is he. Groan grows the grass, While, as they pas, The Zaphyrs strew the earth with flowers, Or softly spread Moss for the tread Of Beauty's feet in the noontide hours. See the young bee, Careless and free, Sips from the cup of each opening flower, But since he knows Summer soon goes, He bears the sweets to his winter bower. Up the lark springs, Swo2t the merle sings ; Then from some covert out of view Softly doth float— Rings the strange note— Echoes the cry, Cuckoo ! cuckoo ! On the sweet broom, Breathing peifume, The butterfly rests in the noontide's glare, Or Kith his bride Floating beside, Wing touching wing, he frolics in air. Murmuring sweet, Sparkling and fleet, The river glides, and its bright waves gleam, And the young bird's flight Is stayed at the sight As he stoops to drink of so clear a stream. The evening breeze Sings to the trees The sweetest music that ever was heard, And its lullaby, When night is nigh, Brings happy sleep to beast and bird. Save that the night Hath its own delight, For the Night-bird then displays his art, And with poet skill Sends a throb and a thrill Of sweet emotion to every heart. Such are the pure Joys that allure When S u p p ri on n - When thought doth spring, Spring's sweet wing, the flowers to rise; To seek and be lost in the azure skies! The above poem, in its original form and under its title Tans 1(z Fact-Resurrection, appeared very recently in the Jersey Constitutionnel. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.—MRS. S. A.

The Emperor is now at the Camp of Chalons, engaged in his periodical inspection of the war resources of the country. From-Chalons, it is now tolerably certain, his Majesty will go to Beauvais on the 27th, and a speech is generally looked for. Whether this part of the programme will come off or not is not exactly certain. The Constituttonnel thinks it probable, but cannot guarantee it. I may mention that the moderate reformers here are profoundly despondent at the aspect of affairs. The Maclean letter and the honour conferred upon M. Jerome David have discouraged them greatly. The letter to M. Mackau is clearly against reform ; but the Emperor has previously given manifestoes of this kind to the world, and changed his policy afterwards. The elevation of M. Jerome David to the dignity of Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour is a fact which the reformers cannot get over. M. David is an " Arcadian," the chief of that select band, in deed ; and I may explain that the Arcadians are the most un compromising supporters of Imperialism. Despotism pure and simple is their creed. They opposed very strongly even the moderate concessions of the 19th of January. To confer distinction at the present moment upon the leader of this party is deemed very ominous indeed. Hence a speech at Beauvais is looked for very eagerly. M. Dalloz has taken the initiative of opening, at the office of the Mouiteur Universel, a subscription in favour of the victims of the recent melancholy events at St. Etienne. It is said that this proceeding has given very little pleasure in official spheres, and the occasion does look a little inopportune. But some of the families of the men who lost their lives by the fire of the soldiers are in a most wretched state, and the subscription is ani mated by pity for wretchedness, not sympathy with riot. A very interesting account of life inside the Concier genie has been written by one of the captives arrested on the boulevards during the late riots. This prisoner was, or says he was, no rioter at ail. He had simply crossed the Boulevard Montmartre at a time when it was deserted, and he and a friend were imme diately arrested by the police. They were carried off to the guard house, where there were about 500 persons who had been arrested on the boulevards; a great many among them were badly hurt—some with black eyes and swollen faces, others mopping up the blood that trickled down from wounds in flicted by knuekledusters.' Most of them had lost their hats, and had their clothes torn to tatters. At tlllYY In tl, e morning they were formed in column, surrounded by police, Gardes de Paris, and hussarsi, and marched off. Their destination was the Con ciergerie, where about 200 were immured—represent ing pretty nearly every class of society. The writer says :- --" There were fellows whose reckless, villanous features were enough to inspire one with terror and loath ing. There were also highly respectable people, merchants, tradesmen, journalists, and a few foreigners, among them an American, Mho said that he was employed at the United States Legation. All, without exception, lordly protested that they had done no harm, and complained bitterly of their arrest. Nearly every man was engaged in writing to his friends, and the gaoler, on the receipt of a small douceur, undertook to forward the letters to their destina tion. All were much fatigued, but in the large hall which we occupied there was not a single bench or convenience to sit down ; neither was there any convenience of another description, and as necessity has no law, the result was as unpleasant to nose and eye as can well be imagined. At half-past nine in the morning we were marched out, and a brown loaf was served out to each man, together with an earthenware platter, into which a spoonful of soup was ladled, the look and smell of which was quite enough for most of us. The platters and brown loaves were converted into seats, and enabled us to get a little rest. The prisoners were greatly cast down, and many of them wept bitterly ; a few were exasperated to such a pitch that we had to do all we could to prevent their resorting to extremities which might have had very serious consequences for us all. At three o'clock we were called out, and received a ration consisting of a handful of beans." This elaborate meal was soon followed by a transference to the fort at Bicare, where the quarters were scarcely any better. The truth of this story is vouched for by the Debuts, in which it appears. The writer will probably beware of riots another time. Rumours, even when they are absurd, are sometimes curious. Of this kind is the report which has circulated pretty freely of late that the Count de Chambord, heir to the French throne according to the Legitimists, has resigned his claim in favour of the Prince Imperial, at the request of the Pope ! It is hardly likely that his Holiness would make any such request. The Emperor is, indeed, the eldest son of the Church, but he is by no means the most tractable. The Count di Girgenti, who was called from Rome ten days ago to the residence of the ex-Queen of Spain, has returned to the Holy City. The Libcrte says that the Prince has again endeavoured to obtain the abdication of Queen .Isabella in favour a the Prillce of the Asturias, and again have entreaties and arumcnt in favour of this course proved vain. A young English nobleman 'aim has more than once figured in the chronicle of Parisian follies, is again the subj( et of divers raragraphs in the Paris pap: is. It is another case of•ruin through the demi inonde, After having plunged into dissipation until his career was arrested by the interposition of the law courts, this erratic nobleman, who is brother to a duke, has at length been incarcerated in the residence of his mother at London. His eldest brother and his mother allow him a pension of £4OOO a year each, but only on condition that he remain on this side of the Channel. The banks of the Seine are deemed too dangerous for noblemen with a diminished patrimony. TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS DAMAGES A breach of promise case has lately been tried in Chicago which has created great excitement in the neigh bourhood. It has occupied six days, and has resulted in a verdict for $lOO,OOO ! The plaintiff is a schoolmistress, named Amanda Craig; the defendant is a gentleman, named Sprague, who has "plenty of greenbacks," on which it will be seen the lady has made a heavy demand. The Illinois estimate of such matters must, if we judge from the evidence, be somewhat different from the English standard, or else the jury accepted the defendant at his own valuation. A great deal of correspondence was read at the trial, and the following is a specimen of Mr. Sprague's epistolary eloquence :—" Chicago, Oct. 10, 1865—my Dear amanda J. Craig I have this moment received a letter from Connicut new London returned to me that I wrote to you I sent to a relation through o mistake she made a Great deal of fun of me Because I denied of Going to Be mar ried (this letter lett the kat outt) she says I must not Be mad at hear she says she wrote a letter to Cincinnatti she says she will have some Good fun mr sprague was Good a nuff to return the Letter to me and that Lett the seacreet out why I did not Gett letter from you will Please return the Leteer I sent you through a mistake and I will send you the one that has Been all the way to the yankees sttas for you to keep as jock that is Plaid on me Booth By my Carelessness You can send me a copp iff you Dont want to send the origion I really Do nott Believe that lamin my right mind of the time." Another letter gives an account of the writer's illness, and promises to send "a Long Leteer as soon a 3 I gett Beter." The lady (Miss Craig) appears to possess more education than taste, and her letters, in which she professes undying devotion, are well written. In one of them the following questionable compliment is made toiler correspondent. "The most artistic lines that could be penned by other bands are as nothing to me when com pared with the lines of love and affection your fingers have traced." Mr. Sprague, at the time of his acquaintance with Miss Craig, presented a brilliant appearance, by the aid of the tailor, hairdresser, and dentist. When Miss Craig commenced to sue him he pulled out his front hair, laid aside his teeth, wore shabby clothes, and succeeded by various devices in making him self a complete object. The fair Amanda, however, exhibited in court a locket with his portrait, which pro duced invidious comparisons, and rendered his sacrifice of vanity to prudence useless. The jury, we may suppose, having regard rather to the Ame r ican standard of women's rights than to the sense of the loss Miss Amanda Craig had suffered by her hero's fickleness, awarded her the full amount of damages claimed-220,000. The counsel for Sprague will apply for a new trial. It is rumoured in London city circles that, as an acknowledgmint of the very able and satisfactory adniinis tietion of the 'resent Lord Mayor, a large and influential section of the Livery intend to invite him to accept the re sponsibilities of a Second year of office. - Miss Shedden's case was before the House of Lords Tuesday for the twenty-lEt time, the plaintiff herself having occupied neatly the whole bat time in addresses to the bond°, wand.-ring fr-m one point to another. Tho Lord Chancellor told her positively Le would not hear her after that day. TIIF. SIIEDDEN LEGITIMACY CASE. —ln the Probate Court on Tuesday afternoon Lord Penzance gave his judgment on the motion for a new trial in the cause of Shedden v. ' the Attorney-Gene ral and Patrick (cited). He said that the reasons for a new trial must be very strong indeed before he would allow the whole case, tried so long ago, to be re opened. The only reason given for the proposed new trial was the alteration of some post marks. There was no evi dence to show that this altered the bearings of tho case. Ho thentort_diimissed the_apnlication. • realm. 1808-9 will be a sadly-memorable year for the working classes. The same twelvemonth which has seen them enfranchised for the first time, has seen them also flying from the country in thousands, because it is impossible for them to earn a livelihood in it. To give a man a vote at the very time that you declare your incapability to give him work, is painfully suggestive of the stone which was offered in reply to the prayer for bread. What are politics to a man who has not a subsistence ? Of what avail is it to him that ke has a twenty-thousandth part in the selection of a six-hundred-and-fifty-eighth portion of one House of the Legislature, when no legislator is able to tell him how he is to keep body and soul together ? Three or four years ago he might have cared to stand before the hustings on nomination day, and to announce his vote to the clerks on polling-day. Yet now it is not to the hustings but the workhouse whither he wends his steps, it is not the poll-clerk but the relieving-oflicer with whom he has to make acquaintance. It is a sad termination to the political enthusiasm of the last few years. The Whitechapel stone-yard is a miserable anti climax to the Hyde Park demonstration. Can nothing be done for him ? Has he become an elector only to lose his new inheritance by becoming a pauper ? Cannot the wisdom of that body which he and his fellows have helped to constitute, devise some means to redeem him from the sore bondage of poverty, to supply the honest man with all that he wants work for willing hands that are idle through no fault of theirs ? Such questions as these are being asked on all sides by our labouring class. They cannot safely remain unanswered. It was such questions which led to the French revolution of 1848, and to the brief, but bloody, reign df Red Republicanism. Red Republicanism is not dead, it sleeps only, if indeed it do sleep. Of that we feel by no means certain when we read the reports of the International Working Men's Congresses. At any rate, no Govern ment can afford to ignore such a condition of things as exists among our working-men at the present time. It is under these circumstances that the Poor-law Board has at last promised to deal with the pauperism of London. The deputation which waited upon Mr. GOSCUEN on Monday obtained from him a distinct proposal that a central committee should be formed out of the various metropolitan boards of guardians, for the express purpose of forwarding emigra tion to the colonies. This committee will obtain information from the colonial Governments as to the openings whi c h there are - for emigrants, and will, perhaps, be able to persuade those Governments to make a grant to assist emigration. The boards of guardians on their part will be at liberty to grant relief out of supplementary funds to persons who arc not actually on the rates, but who, if they do not leave the country, will come upon the rates. It is clear that a few pounds spent in conveying a probable pauper out of the country will save a good many pounds spent in support:ng him here. Formerly, under the old vicious law of settlement, a board of guardians did not hesitate to spend a considerable sum of money in deporting a pauper from one end of England to the other. The only effect was to save the rates of the parish which did this. The pauperism was not cured ;it was simply shifted from Cornwall to Northumberland, from Norfolk to Cork. Neither the country nor the pauper was benefited. But by transporting a pauper to Canada or Australia a parish will not only relieve its rates, but convert a pauper into a THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S BALE. There is something pathetic about the sale of the Duke A Newcastle's household goods, as there is always in the !all of nobility. There was a great crowd in his house pn Tuesday. The policemen who kept guard at the foot of the great staircase and at the entrances to cellars and rooms have no sinecure, for the applications to wander freely through the mansion are both numerous and per sistent ; the man who stood in the hall with catalogues had disposed of his stock at a shilling each socn after 3 p.m., and even such things as japanned water cans, housemaids' boxes and baskets, hand-brooms, and dust-pans gave rise to animated bidding. This increased when more interesting articles came to be offered, and between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., when hand work and gilded chairs and tables were put up, what may be termed "fancy prices" were obtained. The house in which this scene is taking place is one of the largest in Carlton-house-terrace, and stands at the Spring-gardens er,d, with offices which cross the road, forming a cul de sac, and communicating apparently with a house on the other side. The auctioneers' bills tell their story directly the corner by the Duke of York's Column is passed, making the duke's ruin manifest on both sides of the road. The words " heirloom—Clumber" on a large case of stuffed birds meet the visitor's eye directly he is in the hall, and they are repeated upon marble busts and other articles which stand between him and the dining-room docir. The vast place seems to be in many respects as its unfortunate holders left it. The fine oil paintings are hanging in the accustomed places, some with "heirloom" on the label attached, others, and those the most numerous, numbered as lots. It is seldom that anything so disastrous as a sale by auction takes place in Carlton-house-terrace, and the idlers assembled there on Tuesday might be suspected of deriving a gloomy relish from the knowledge of this fact. That a duke should be sold up " just as you or me might be to-morrer, my dear," was an unfailing source of trite moralising on the part of one stout lady, who bought nothing, but prosed much ; and that the sale was taking place within half a dozen doors of the residence of the Premier of England, the Duke's father's friend, was given out quite frequently as an item of news by an old gentleman who took posses sion of a snug corner early in the day, and never once looked at the auctioneer. It is, of course, not to be expected that sympathy for reverses--even when due to unavoidable misfortune—should be found in an auction-room, but its utter absence was never more marked than on Tuesday. Everybody present who touched on the subject at all seemed to consider themselves entitled to have a fling at the absent prodigal. The sorrowful indignation of a silent and solitary old man in drab, who was ...;a to have been a servant to the oiresert Duchess since infancy, culminated when certain articles of furniture were offeked up ; but his pained look did not stop the gossip or the covert sneering, and for a day or two the household goo& of the Duke of Newcastle will continue to be distributed to just such a running fire of cynical criticism as generous minds shrink from and loathe. THE TROUBLES OF AN -IRISH LAND SOCIETY. The Court of Queen's Bench of Dublin has been occupied four days with the trial of an action for libel which excited considerable interest. In the year 1866 a company was started under the title of the National Building and Land Investment Company. The prospectus would have done credit to a statesman, embracing, as it did, the settling of the land question by converting the Irish peasantry into landed proprietors. Looking around for an eligible• field the directors selected a tract of laud at Mount Partry, near Ballingrobc. The company gave to their first purchase the auspicious title of the Port Royal Estate. This valuable acquisition, for which they paid £10,5'00, included some mountain ranges, where attenuated sheep roamed in search of pasture, and some picturesque clusters of hovels, dignified by the name of villages, in which the inhabitants lived in rather primitive fashion. Animated by a lofty purpose of regenerating the country, the directors laid down a grand scheme of improVement. Mr. Brett, a competent surveyor, was employed to lay out the estate in suitable divisions, and it was resolved that such of the tenants as desired it should have leases for their holdings. Here was fixity of tenure, the first condition of Irish contentment, voluntarily offered. But there were two drawbacks which impaired the value of the gift. In utter disregard of traditional habits, it was attempted to reduce the primeval chaos of the villages into order for erecting sub stantial houses. This scheme spewed a want of regard for national feeling. Some of the tenants were induced to agree to the redistribution, others objected to leave the "old spot" where their grandfathers dwelt. Causes of dissatisfaction arose on both sides. The tenants were, in some instances, required to surrender their tenancies from year to year, and to enter into other agree ments. Hard times came upon them, rents were raised and ejectments were served by Mr. Pro-Afoot, the agent. One of the tenants, described as a poor widow, was the subject of an irregular seizure fur rent, and—greatest grievance of all— a mountain called Derasse, which had served as a commonage fur all the tenants, was at least partially closed against them. Distress set in, and the people, it was said, had to subsist upon meal obtained by subscriptions. The Rev. P. Lavelle stood forward as the champion of the peasantry, and wrote a series of letters denouncing the management of the estate and the con dttct of the plaintiff. To his first letter Mr. I'roudfoot wrote a reply, substantially accusing the rev. gentleman of being the cause of all the discontent which had arisen. For this letter the Rev. Mr. Lavelle brought an action for libel, which was tried at the last assizes for Galway, and he was awarded one farthing damages. The chairman also wrote a reply, which was pub lished in the Irish Timcs, with an . article laudatory of the company. To this the rev. gentleman issued a rejoinder, which was one of the publications complained of in the present action. Proceedings were then taken to heal the wounded feelings of the chairman. Mr. Butt, Q.C., and Serjeant Dowse presented his case with all their ability. Major Knox, the defendant, pleaded fair comment, and Mr. Heron, Q.C., and Mr.. Falkner, Q.C., conducted his defence. The. trial came on before the Chief Justice and a special jury in the Irish Queen's Bench, and has terminated in the discharge of the jury, who were unable to agree to a verdict. It is understood that eleven jurors were for the defendant and one for the Princ© Alamayoo, son of King Theodore of Abyssinia, will learn England for India, under the care of Captain Speedy, by the next steamer from Southampton. Th e T ,iian climate will nrobably suit him better than our own. NEW SILKS.—The G l azette contains the appoint ment of fourteen members of the outer bar to the honour of the silk gown. Amongst them are four members of the House of Commons :—Mr. T. Hughes, Mr. H. James, Mr. H. C. Lopes, and Mr. G. 0. Morgan. Mn. LAMONT . S POLAR EXPEDITION.—The new steamship Diana, equipped for geographical explorations and scientific research in the Polar seas, which started a few weeks ago from Glasgow, is now reported at Hammer fest, near the North Cape of Norway. Her owner, Mr. James Lamont (late M.P.), author of "Seasons with the Sea Horses" (in Spitzbergen), accompanies the expedition, and hopes to be able to approach more nearly to the North Pole than any previous explorer. RAPID OCEAN STEAMING.--A race has just acci dentally occurred between the City of Paris and the North German Lloyd screw•steamship Main, Captain K. von Ortendorp, both these magnificent vessels having left New York on the sth inst., within an hour and a half of each other, the Inman steamer having the start. The Main passed the Needles, en route for Southampton, at 11.15 a.m. on the 15th inst., the City of Paris having arrived off Queenstown at 12.15 a.m. on the same day. There was a result in favour of the Main of 12,1 hours over the cele. brated Inman steamer. MYSTERIOUS DEATII.—Mr. Bedford on Tuesday resumed an inquiry at the Sessions House, Westminster, into the circumstances attending the death of a female, name unknown, whose body was found floating in the Thames, off Millbank, on the sth inst. The body was clothed in apparel of a superior description, and three valuable gold rings were upon the fingers, and a black jet necklace and cross round the neck. Mrs. Sarah Smith was examined, and said she was, a nurse and widow, living at Chelsea, and had attended from seeing the notice in the papers. She had missed her daughter since the 24th of May. On the 22nd of May her daughter arrived at her house, having just come home from Malta, where she had lost her husband. She appeared in good health, but low spirited at the death of her husband. Her daughter's name was Jane Bunker, and that of her husband, Charles Bunker. Her age was 25, and she was a tall, dark, thin young woman.. She left witness's house on the morning of the 2lth of May, saying she was going into the City to see her husband's brother, a Mr. William Bunker, a clerk in a tea warehouse in the City, but she did not say where. Witness had not seen or heard from her since. The witness was here shown the clothing, rings, and other articles taken from the body of the deceased. She identified the articles. The coroner said he had received a letter from Liverpool from a person named Shoolbred, who stated that lie had a female relative mi ss . ing since May, and that the description of the body of 0..: deceased and her clothing exactly- answered that of his missing relative. He further remarked that although the witness Smith had identified the clothing and rings as those of her daughter, her description of her person varied materially from that given by the medical man who had made a post-mortem examination of the body of the de ceased. He should . feel it is duty again t o a dj ourn the invizi, for the VrAiali VOiLligiblUDJ3l Dunker. -.........-- TEE TICHBORNE BARONETCY CASE. In this case Dr. Deane, Q.C., on Tuesday reminded Lord Penzance that on an occasion when his lordship refused an application to appoint an administrator pendente lite in the cause of Tichborne v. Tichborne, he said that if the Court of Chancery refused to do so he would lend the powers of the Court of Probate. The learned gentleman road the remarks of Vice-Chancellor Stuart when the case NV" 130- fora him, and pointed out that the officer of the Court of Chancery would almost be at once discharged on the ar pointment of an administrator by the Court over which Lord Penzance presides ; and such being the case, his clients (the creditors) were advised to apply to the Probate Court again' The learned counsel pointed out that the creditors were bo itg deprived of their mon y simply because this suit was pending, and ho could not believe that the Legislature ever intended such a thing. Dr. Deane therefore asked that either one of the creditorsor the receiver in Chancery 1, 0 o uld be appointed administrator pendente lite. Dr. Tristram, for the plaintiff in the case, said he though t it reasonable that the grant should go; but the receiver ap pointed by Chancery had taken the papers of the dcccaceli including the cornspondenco from her to his (Dr. TAP tram's) client, and therefore they thought ho was a partisan of the other side. Mr. Bayford (for the Solicitor-General) said those np pea were now in the possession of the Court of Chancery client was an infant, and, of course, stood on his strict le gal rights. There was no precedent for the applic,ation, though ho Judge thought fit to accetie to it, but the crodi' tor who was named wag not a desirable person for adminis trator. Vice-Chancellor Stuart did not promise that on the appointment of an administrator ho would discharge the receiver. tor; Baron Penzance said it was unjust that the credi should have to wait till a suit was decided in which thel ba ' no interest whatever. After speaking on the techniealitie° of the case, his lordship granted the order for an adminis trator, and was of opinion that Mr. Humphrey was the bes t man. ACTION FOR LIBEL The Court of Queen's Bench, as constituted by Justice Hannen and a special jury, has had before it s° 1 important libel case, "Cadogan v. Piper." It was an action for libel by one of the sitting members for u° borough of Cricklade against the registered proprietor of the North Wilts Herald. It appeared from the counsels opening speech and the plaintiff's evidence that the 1 4 ° 11 ' Frederick Cadogan (the plaintiff) is the younger b rother of the present Earl of Cadogan, a magistrate of Middle' sex, and at one time in practice at the bar. Se one of the earliest promoters of the Submarlii" Telegraph Company, and he became one of the diree tors and deputy. chairman of that company whe n it svga first started, in 1852. He personally instructed the clerks, and worked in all matters of the company with a 5 much zeal and regularity as if he were a paid official. 11/ 1857 a person calling himself Captain Thorne called up the plaintiff and demanded a sum of money as the price d his silence in abstaining from publishing a letter w hich he rn received from one Evans, who from 1852 to 1854 bad beoen° Th e clerk in the employ of the telegraph company. shewed Mr. Cadogan a copy of this letter, in which wags alleged that Mr, Cadogan had been in the habit of obtaining e information in the instrument-room of the telegrap h ° e, of which he made use on the Stock Exchange. Cadogan declined to give any money for such a Pu r .,P as- s ; tbe letter was üblished, and both Thorne and Evan were indicted at p the Central Criminal Court for attempt; u ing to extort money ; they were both convic ted an sentenced to twelve months' hard labour. Subseq uentlY, in 1861, the plaintiff was concerned with a Freaulj refugee ng named Veillard in starting and carrYi out the refreshment department of the Inte rnational Exhibition of 1862. Mr. Cadogan advanced the ra°llelY l required, and became security for Veillard's ess eetive completing the contract with the Commissioners; h esvus' ns however, in no way connected with the Cosaiss iellr°. and although he actually received £2,400 from V eillard and ap t ; as services and money out of pocket, he had to pay 21'5°t: as security for Veillard when the latter became b ankr, : and this, with the other expenses, reduced his profit "Pe' the transaction to less than £lOO. Last us " autumnoro ugh plaintiff plaintiff was one of the three candidates for the bci of Cricklade,.and was returned at the election a t the het! of the poll, Mr. Gooch being second , Mr. Goddard, sv'a was a Conservative, and Mr. Cadogan's opponent, Oa unsuccessful.

Oa: North Wilts Herald reprinted this bill, declared it Wul absolutely true, and challenged Mr. Cadogan to meet theo in a court of justice. The proprietor of the paper i ; a .g pleaded that all the statements concerning the PI/I'll' were true. In examinion the plaintiff said that immedi a tely aft er the conviction of Thorne and Evans h e r esigned the 13°st of deputy chairman of the Submari ne C°3'lPiu,sd. He admitted also that upon one occasion e t i o , given precedence to a message of Baron were child's. It was also true that certain messages 11 A re forwarded to his private residence, but these Os - i f s lation either to what was going on in the Crimea , h is w ow being a near relative of Lord George Paget, who had u c ny. mand at the scene of war, or to the affairs of the consP.oo He did not believe lie knew any one of the Esl ib .,, it s i n t Commissioners, except Lord Granville.

He commented on the fact that had message to which it was alleged that Pri °ritY nts sea been given had not been produced. ge Ve [ n d hi to say that the impression made upon every W .- reading the whole of Mr. Cadogan's evidence at the Bailey was that there was no such message in exs7ebratt that it could not be identified or found. l es dist did the jury think would have been the " hers at the preliminary trial if it had been known that t tto was such a message as Mr. Evans had described sell the telegraph office, that it contained news t ° g priority to which was a gross breach a trust sga and that seess;a the part of the company, had been found by Mr. Cadogan?

The case is still proceeding. -------- IMPORTS or GUANO. — Fro m off icial returns it appears that our imports of guano are greatly on thet decrease. In the first four months of 1868 we 69,764 tons were brought into this country, and that 10 the corresponding period of the present year the reti only shews a total importation 69,764 tons. Peru is still, the principal place from whence we draw our supplies 0, this precious fertiliser, but to the return from Peru 103 / be traced in a large measure the decrease in the impo rt?, toll° for in the first four months of 1868 we had 5 9 2 731 from that country, against 19 968 tons in the four months ending April 30, 1869, ' - find that
