THE Hox. Mae. YELVESTON AND MRS. FORBES...—.
It was mentioned Nome time ago in our columns that an
anion had been brought by the Hon. Mrs. Weirton against
Mrs. Forbes, the lady who line with Mrs. Felverton's hus-
band, claiming damages on the ground of the slanderous
libel contained in the latter's letter to the Loudon Extessiner.
Defences have been lodged in the Court of Session by Mr.
Forbes to the effect, first' that she is the lawful wife of
Major Felvettou, and that as much, her husband, if any
person, is the party to be proceeded against ; end, secondly,
that as she has no domicile or effects in Scotland, the Court
of Session has no jurisdiction in the one. The defences
admit that the libel ous letter in the Examiner was written
by Mrs. Forbea—Caledonian Mercury.

picture which Mr. Moss has thus acquired he has, with cha.
noteristic liberality, ',reedited to the corporation of Liver-

SHIPPING DISASTER ON TUE TYNL.-011 Wednes-
day morning, at 5 o'clock, when the tide was at its height,
• very merlon shipping diameter occurred on the Tyne, off
Sadler's Point. A large old-fashioned Dutch East India-
man, the Anna Elise, lie Roecur, master, of Amsterdam,
with 40 keels of coals aboard, and drawing 20ft. lio. water,
was towed out of the Northumberland dock, io charge of
a pilot named Purvis. She mused out of the dock in safety,
but, unfortunately, had not been towed 300 yards from the
dock gates when she struck upon • "couch, and, notwith-
staeding every effort was made to do so, could not be got off
that tide. Three keels of onle were taken out of her during
the day, and it was hoped that abe would float in the afternoon
tide, but, instead of doing so. she tilled with water, and her
stores had to be removed with all huts. On Thursday sea-
men were employed stripping her, and her cargo will be
discharged with all dispatch ; but it is feared that the ship's
back is broken, and that she will become • complete wreck.
Blame seems to be attached to the pilot, for the Alp is
lying her own length from the middle of the channel, in
which there was 2211 4in. of water. It is stated that more
steam power should have been employed. as for want of it
the ship would nut answer her helm. The ship was bound
to Batavia, and was the oldest vessel belonging to the
Amsterdam company.
Ewousa Race IN Pauses —An interesting
search is now being prosecuted at Douai. Before the reso-
lution there existed there an English college for the educa-
tion of print' which, during the worst days of 1793, under-
emit the fate of all similar religious estithhehments. Before,
however, leaving the hospitable asylum some of the inmates
buried in two chests all the plate, silver vessels, and sacred
relies belonging to the community, which included,
among other objects, the baircloth of Thomas
a'Beckett, and the skull-cap of St. Carlo Barroom°.
I The building and grounds were purchased by the
government in 1834, end are Dow occupied by the caps
of Engineers. The secret bad been religiously kept until
' the present moment, when authorisation to recover the
buried treasure having been obtained, the search was com-
menced three days back. After some difficulty in finding
the exact spot, arising from changes which have taken
piece in the distribution of the rooms, on digging breath
the fireplace of an old chimney in one of the rooms on the
ground floor, one of the cheats was discovered containing a
quantity of silver &Wars, such as goblets, dishes, enbeie.
Itc., of the value of about 4,000 fr. Among the most re.
mutable area silver-mounted dish bearing the name of
Norfolk, and the date 1701. Upon different goblets bear-
ing armorial escutcheons are the noes of Philip Howard,
