MONT BLANC—The oelebrated tourist, the late Albert

trashed the summit of Mont Menge (Chamounl, which

surprise, posted over with Holloway's placards, and
diecovered that his ointment and pills were there mold,
in large quantities, at • little grocer's shop. " After-

there is any particular mystery about either Holloway's

Tat AL•SAII• CLATIIB.—Th. Afornieg Herald
remarks that there can be no doubt that the late Arerri-
eon civil war has left open many ritiestions of interna-
tional law and iLternational obligations which it would
be well for the world, and for Us especi illy, to have
settled 0004 for all. The wrongs which they suppose
themselves to have cuffs red at -or hand, in the depreda-
tions of the Alabama and other Confederate cruisers are
still • terrihle stumbling-block in the way of the per-
manent establishment of amicable relations between as
and the Americans. We should not like to have the
career of the Alabama and ebensodoali made into •
precedent. In certain contingencies it would be meet
Inconvenient for us. If the Pulliam, for example, were
to eatabllah themes-lees in some hole or enrrier of

to enable them to purchase an American steamer; if
thin steamer were to be fitted with an armament on the
high seas, and proceed at ones to destroy noanned
English merchantmen ; if the American Government
were not only to wink at this, but to recognise the
Fenian craft sea lawful belligerent, we should then have
cruse to execrate the memory of the Alabama end the
rule of international law which we ourselves had set up.
It may be that in the CYO of the Alabama, • sample iif

meet made an attempt to prevent its sailing. They
failed in this, and the Alabama, rea-iving her armament
at sea, went burning and destroying. The technical
questions involved are—firstly. whether the British
Government is under obligations to a foreign Power to
awry out the provisions oi Its own municipal law!
seaundly, whether, having failed to tarry them out
through lack of adroitness, it is responsible fiv the con.
sequencea? It is easy enough to ..nswer in the negativo
to both the.. questions. It is more difficult to reply to
another. Why, when the Alabama had escaped, was
she recognised as • bellieerent ? Why, say the Ame-
ricans, did the British Government allow her to pursue
her career when it bud so many opportunities of
arresting it or of starving her out? In the strict
letter of international law our Gdyernment did right.
It did its bent, on the other hand, to establish a meed,

surrender of our just claims, or any unworthy compro-
mise with demande which, however calmly and meson.
ably they may now be preferred, seemed alroo-t mono..

be no harm whatever in a full and fair disetuaion of the

A Romtece or THIL BARONETAGIL —About thirteen
years ago Mr. Roger Charles Tichhorne, a young man,
the eldest son of Sir James Tichborne, Barn, the re-
presentative of an ancient Hampshire Catholic family,
left Southampton for Hama He had been in the army,
and in a. fit of spleen he left this country for
France, whence he intended to set out for South
America. A manoervant accompanied him, but left
him in Femme, and has recently died. The ship in
which Mr. Tiehborne was seppoeed to hays sailed to
South America was last, and mmething belonging Whim
was found with the relics of that ship, and, as be wan
never heard from, be we.s mourned as dead. His mother,
the present Dowager Lady Tiohborne, however, always
entertained some doubt., to the death of her eon. Sir
James Tichborne succeeded his brother Sir Edward
Tieleborne, who took the name of Doughty, after
a relative who left him a large property, and
Sir Edward's widow, Lady Doughty. is •till

Mediae Bogle, who, on Sir Edward'. death, was
pennioned. He married a resprotable white woman
from the neighbourhood of Southampton, and they
afterward, went to Auidralia, where the wife died.
On the death of Sir Francis Tichborne, his second son,
Allied Joseph, succeeded him. He merri-d a daughter
of Lard Arundel, of Wardour Castle, and died leering
an infant son and heir. Soon aftet this the Dowager
Lady Tiehborne received • communication from her
long-lost son, stating that he wa. in Australia. that he
proposed coining to England, and sectioned his photo-
graph. Thin photograph was recognised by her ladyship
as the likeness of her eldest sue, making allowance for
his present age, and the hardships he had undergone.
The dowager, who resided ehiedy in Paris, wrote to him
n quieting him to meet her in that city. Soon after.

Mr. Roger Tiohborne off from Southampton was the
Rev. Father Mount, the present respected Catholic
priest of that town. The reverend gentleman, at the
request of the Dowager lady Tiehborne, obtained an
introduction to the Australian passengera, one of whom
stated that he had made the acquaintance of Sir Roger
Tloaborne, on his purge to Panama and that the
latter intended to leave the Panama Inhume In. French

mother in Paris. This gentleman, at the request of
