THE EMIGRANT SHIP WILLIAM NELSON.—The
Journal du Havre announces that the following good news
has been received in a despatch from St. John's, Newfound-
land, under date of the 3d inst. :—" Thirty passengers of
the William Nelson, which was burnt at sea on the 26th
ult., while on her passage from Antwerp to New York,
have been landed here by the Meteor, bound from Porto
Rico to Queenstown."
VINDICATION OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.—Mr. Jeffer-
son Davis has suddenly become famous again.
For nearly a month his name, outside of the assassination
trials, has scarcely been mentioned. The talk about ,him
at present has been raised by the publication of a letter
signed by John B. Van Dien, who claims to have been a
clerk in the Confederate War Department. He says that
in the latter part of February, 1865, he was present at a
conversation between President Davis, Secretaries Benjamin
and Breckinridge, and two strangers, one of whom was
named Booth. In this conversation Booth said a plan was
formed by parties in the North and Canada to capture or
assassinate Mr. Lincoln ; that he had a full list of names,
and all they wanted was an official recognition on the part
of the Confederate authorities, and then the project would

sire to render the Confederacy a service, by removing the
tyrant who was the cause of so much suffering, and the only
obstacle in the way of a speedy peace. Mr. Davis and Gen.
Breckinridge, says the writer of this letter, both ex-
pressed their hearty condemnation of the plot, and ad-
vised Booth to think no more of it ; that they were con-
fident their cause was just, and God in His own good time
would give them the victory without their resorting to
anything but the most honourable warfare. Booth was
not convinced, but retired, saying, "He must die." Van
Dien says he is willing to be "qualified" as to the truth of
this statement, and that his business in the Confederate War
Department being to endorse and file away all documents
received there, he knows that no documents were received
from parties in the North with reference to the assassination
of Mr. Lincoln. Many propositions were received from the
South, however, offering to capture or assassinate Mr. Lin--
cola for certain sums of money, but they never received
the least attention, and were always passed over without
official notice. The frankness with which Mr. Van Dien
makes these statements is considered good evidence of their
truth, and there are few persons in the country who now
believe that Jefferson Davis had anything to do with the
assassination. There aro no further developments about
his trial, and there is a growing belief that the Government
does not intend to deal harshly with him. There are ru-
mours, however, that, in addition to the indictment for
treason, counts will be presented charging him with com-
plicity in the assassination. If there ever is a trial, it will
no doubt be had in the district of Columbia.
An Algerian journal relates a singular accident
which happened to the Wilderneth diligence, be-
tween Pout d'Aumale and Constantine. On leaving the
former place there was only an inside passenger, Mlle.
Julio C., and when the carriage arrived at Constantine she
had disappeared. Some persons who were immediately
sent back to look for the lady, found her lying by the
roadside with one leg broken and several severe contu-
sions ; she was sensible, but unable to give the slightest
explanation as to the cause of her being in that condition.
It, is supposed that she must have got out of the diligence
in a state of somnambulism.
