THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK.

(Front Galignant's Messenger.)
The Civil Tribunal of the Seine has been several
times occupied of late in hearing pleadings in a case
in which Madame de Civry, daughter of an Eng-
lishwoman, is plaintiff, and the Hoke of Brunswick,
for many years back residing in Paris, defendant.
The action was brought to recover from the Duke,
of whom the plaintiff claims to be the natural child,
an alimentary allowance of 35,000 fr. a year.
The Court yesterday delivered judgment de-
laring that, by terms of Art. 14 of the Cude
Napoleon, a foreigner, even not residing in France,
can to summoned before the French tribunals
for the execution of obligations by him con
tracted towards a native of France; that the
claim of Madame de Civry against the Duke of
Brunswick is brought for alimentary subsistence;
that, although a foreigner when born, she became
French by ter marriage with the Count de Civry,
and her tight to an alimentary pension has arisen
posteriorly to the event which confers on her the

quality of a Frenchwoman, since it exists in reality
and can be claimed before a court of justice, only
from the day when the necessity arose ; that the
Court has no occasion to inquire at present into the
validity of the demand, but simply to consider the
quality of the parties and the object of the appli-
cation ; looking at all these points, the Court de•
Glares itself competent, directs the case to b:
pleaded on the merits, and condemns the Duk,
of Brunswick to pay the costs,

We have reason to believe that it is her Atsjesty't,
intention that in the ensuing autumn Prince Alfred shall
pees some time in Edinburgh. His Royal Highness will
reside in Hclyrood, and will take advantage of the facilities
effurded by the residence in that capital of distinguished
professors to attend lectures, and by other means to corn
plete his education. It is probable that his Royal High-
ness's stay in Edinburgh may extend to six months.

A HINT FOR COMPETITIVE EXAMINERS—IN

REFERENCE TO THE "CREMORNE TOURNAMENT.'
Ad Mr. E. T. Smith mentions in his advertisements that
he has specially in view the amusement and instruction of
"juveniles" by this performance, a Saturday Reviewer
suggests that it might be interesting to it quire what an
hi-
telligent boy who had just been reading Ivanhoe thought of
the Cremorne tournament, as compared with that of Ashby-

Nine hundred converts to Mormonism passed

through Detroit on the 3d ult., on their way to the Salt
Lake. They were from Germany, and appeared to be intel-
ligent and well-to-do people. About 150 of the emigrants
were men; all the rest were women and children.
DEATH OF ONE OF NELSON'S HEROES.—There
died lately at Miscoe Island Robert Harper a native o
Glasgow, aged 78. He was a sailor under the immortal
Nelson, and was on board his ship at the battle of the Nile
or Aboukir, and was one of the oarsmen in the boat that
landed his lordship on the shores of Egypt after the battle.
MEDICAL TRAVELLING CHARGES.—What is a
physician entitled to charge for railway fare ? The
question is being agitated rather warmly, and a recent dis-
pute between Dr. Vose, of Liverpool, and Sir Thos. Glad-
stone, Mr. Robertson Gladstone, and Mr. A. Kelso, is much
talked of, as well by medical men and in the select circles

its particulars have reached. In July, 1862, a Mr. George
Grant was taken ill in the Highlands, and Dr. Vose was
summoned by telegraph from Liverpool to Aberdeen. The
patient died, and his executors (the three gentlemen I have
named) requested Dr. Vose to send in his claim for pro•
fesi•ional services. This amounted to two hundred and five
guineas. being 186 guinea. for the journey (372 miles), and
,9 guineas for ordinary attendance. The executors consi-
der this exorbitant, and atter some correspondence, a copy
• f which 1 have seen, close their accounts without plying
Dr. Vose. The latter has no remedy, except appealing to
his professional brethren as to the fairness of his charge.
Like barristers, physicians are, by an absurd fiction, sup-
posed to render their services gratuitously, and tha result is
that the question has no chance of being tried in a court
of law. But, odd as it may sound to some ears, the faculty
have declared that Dr. Vose has rather under than
overcharg-d for his journey; and it is broadly stated
that, had the late Mr. Grant been a new instead of an old
patient, the charge should not have been less than two-
thirds of a guinea a mile. It is true that the executors
quote Professor Miller of Edinburgh, as saying that £25
per diem, and £3O for a day and night, is adequate remu-
neration for a leading physician's absence from home—but
it is said that neither Professor Syme nor Dr. Simpson
comply with the " custom" he quotes as that of the
northern city. Dr. Lethal)] is also quoted by the execu-
tors, but repudiates utterly backing up Dr. Vo-e's charges
as moderate, as does Dr. Watson; and it would seem that
the heir will have to pay the full amount unless he would
be convicted of evading a moral responsibility only because
it cannot be legally enforced.—lllustrated IVews.

dent signing hitnseit ,‘ One of tho 36Th Regiment,"
writes :—" The Daily Chronicle says, 'lt is stated that
General Stuart, of the Confederate cavalry, is no other than
Lord Ernest Vane Tempest. This is not true. Lord Ernest
Vane Tempest is no-, nor ever was, in the Confederate ser-
vice, and as Assistant Aajutant-General of Stone's division
greatly distinguished himself at the battle of Ball's Bluff,
