many, and place her son Bob at school in Heidel-
berg, where be can
learn High Dutch. Her real
object is to visit the different crowned heads of
Europe, except France. Mrs. Lincoln is a woman
of the highest rank and of the loftiest virtue. She
makes no bones of expressing her opinion in regard
to Napoleon, and that he is a dangerous customer
for a good woman to be even on speaking terms
with. Another reason why she will not go to Paris
is, that she might be caught there when War is de-
clared and be locked up in consequence.
I hope Mrs. Lincoln will be cordially received
while abroad. 1 believe she is the first lire Pre-

ment (expenses paid out of the Secret Fund) to
induce the English people to back us up with
their moral if not physical power. If once Mrs.
Lincoln gets access to Palmerston or Russell, I will
bet my life they never dine with Virginian Mason
on the sly again, although Mr. Mason may be
proud of his distinguished country woman, for
he used to know her when her husband was
in the House of Representatives. I hope Mrs.

other, great points ih

chance now for my old friend Hiram Fuller to ring
in for a foreign
consulate. He is a quiet, lady's
man ; and by being attentive for a few days will be
forgiven his rebulism, and be promoted to a fat
office, for Mrs. Lincoln •all is powerful. In fact, the
British Ministers may as well be told
that fact, so
that if they Want to make any treaties, or things of
that sort, Mrs. Lincoln is as sure a card—in fact

THE INDIAN TELEGRAPH CAELE.—The Kirkham,
1,001 tons registry, with about 187 miles of this cable on
board, left Gravesend yesterday (Friday) for the Persian
Gulf, her precise destination being
Bagdad. This is the
second portion that has gone out, and the remaining lengths
will be con veyed in three sailing vessels and a steamer. The
entire length is upwards of 1,200 miles, and the weight
about 5,000 tons.

TESTIMONIAL PRoit A MAGISTRATE TO A GOOD
OFFICER.—Mr. 11. Selfe, the magistrate who left
the Thames police court three months since for West-
minster, gave Mr. William Langston, the chief usher. a
very substantial testimonial on retiring from the first-
named court, for his Nvillinc, and valuable services, and this
morning Mr. Selfe called at the Thames police court,
Stepney, and presented to Roche, the gaoler, a valuable
ivory pen-holder and pencil-case, with a gold pen, pen-
Wye, and gold
and attention during the eight years Mr Selfe officiated at
Pencil as a testimonial for good conduct
the court. The ivory case, or holder, bears the following
inscription :—" Robert Roche, from H.S.S." (the magis-
trate's initials). Roche well deserves the compliment paid
him. He has been gaoler 18 years,
