THE SUN.
LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1862,

1862—50 far at least as we may judge from its
commencement—promises to be memorable hence-
forth as the year of monster trials, of what our
neighbours call causes celebres. There was the
WINDIIAM case, which was so elaborately inquired
into before a Master in Lunacy and a special jury,
first of all in the Court of Exchequer, and after-
wards in the Session-house down at Westminster.
An examination, that, which must always be looked
back to with regret and astonishment, as a deplo-
rable waste of time and money : simply to prove
whether or not the sowing of wild oats by an
eccentric and flighty young scapegrace would be
sufficient to incapacitate him thenceforth for
the term of his natural life from the
conduct of his own affairs. Again there was
that fag end, or rather that discreditable pendant,
of the Raett,
case of SWINFEN v. SWINFEN—the
supplementary cause in which Mr. KENNEDY
brought an action
against his late client Mrs.
savaNFEN, now aal
BROUN, for the recovery of
£20,000 for his labours in her behalf as her victo-
rious advocate. Tbastaaa now
going on before the
Judge-Ordinary and
a Special Jury in the
Court of Probate and Divorce, namely, in
the cause in which Dr. sINIETIIURST is the
plaintiff, and FRIEND TOMLIN%
and others are
defendants, revives to public recollection that
famous trial two or three years back when Dr.
SMETHURST Steed at the bar of a criminal court,
and was there formally convicted of the murder
(by poisoning) of ISABELLA 13aa:ic5, down at Rich-
mond, being, in fact, sentenced to be hanged, but
afterwards pardoned. The celebrated YELVERTON
marriage case again has, within the last few days, been
re-ventillated at Dublin ; and may, before the se;.
sion has much further advanced, again afford new
evidence of Mr. WHITESIDE'S brilliant oratorical
powers, while again invoking the enthusiasm of the
Irish bar within, and of the Irish mob without.

Finally, there is the term now put at length to
the suspense felt ever since the close of that mon-

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine pm , and
the short exchange on London is 25.274 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. Wad. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 3-loths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4264 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.6: per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
4-10tha per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 111 to 112 per cent., and thepremium on golf
about 14 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the im-
portation of gold from the United States.

A LADY IN DIFFICIILTIES.—WhiIe a lady,
" fat, fair, and forty," was rolling down the Morse-market,
a few days ago, with an air majesty peculiar to herself, she
suddenly felt as if becoming
" Small by degrees, and beautifully less ;"

and on casting an eye downwards, what was her conster-
nation on beholding that she had dropped—not anything
very remarkable, gentle reader, but something which has
been a standing joke for years, viz., a full-rigged crinoline,
fully fifteen feet in circumference. A friendly door stood
open, and the lady darted in—not to order a new dress, nor
even to take a peep at the latest Parisian fashions—but
simply to adjust the immense balloon which had fallen to
the earth much sooner than the lady had anticipated. The
little boys, however, did not witness the catastrophe, and
no annoyance was experienced.—Kelso Clironiee.
w`AUSTRIA AND LORD PALMERSTON, Letters
from Vienna assert that the Austrian Government had
thought it due to its own dignity, in consequence of the
effect produced throughout Europe by Lord Palmerston's
late speech, to instruct Count liarolyi, the representative of
Austria in London, to ask for explanations as to the mean-
ing and bearing which the English Cabinet attaches to that
speech, so far as relates to the retention of Venetia by
Austria.
INQUESTS.—From a Parliamentary return just
issued, it appears that during the year 1861 no fewer than
1,104 inquests were held in the metropolis upon the bodies
of infants under two years of age.
The Coafederate States of Virginia, North and
South Carolina, and Georgia, formed part of the original
United States. Tennessee entered the Union in 1796,
Mississippi in 1817, Arkansas in 1836, and Texas in 1846.
Louisiana was purchased in 1802, and Florida in 1821.

mightier yet in promises. A year not free from
stain, not wholly pure, not wholly worthy of the
great cause which it has borne forward, but yet a
year whose burdens and whose honours we can
never be tco proud that we were permitted to share.
Far better one such year " than a cycle of Katha!"
This year cicses brightly around us. Victory is

only true to ourselves and to the teachings which

" The Post-office Turkish Bath., 19, St.Martin's-le-Grand.
—Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of
an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy
philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart
of the City,. an institution that more nearly than any disco-
very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice
of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established,
the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct
the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess
one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand,
which the country can produce; perfect in all Its appliances,
and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up
his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement,
which, considering the apace at his disposal, is truly sur-
prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire
has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the
visitor. . . We may justly say that if a man ever feels

THE LEGION OF HONOUR.—The A dminlstratiOn
of the Legion of Honour has just published the following
annual return of the state of the credit devoted since 1852
to giving life annuities to the old soldiers of the Republic
and of th 3 Empire. " The concessions of annuities effected
in 1852, in virtue of the decree of Dec. 14, 1851, and the
amount of which varies from 175 f. to 300 f., form a first
series, comprising 12,054 recipients, and the admissions
'declared under the law of June 10, 1853, which modified
the abovenained decree, as far as regards the amount of the
said annuities, reached on the Ist of March, 1862, to 30,763,
making a total of 42,817. Deducting from that total the
deaths and different annulments, which amount to 19,958,
there remained on the Ist of March, 1862, 22,859 persons

The Surinam TVeekblaad announces that the ha-
re:int question of the abolition of slavery has just been
definitively settled. " The question of slavery in the
American colonies of Holland," says that newspaper, " is at
last arranged. All the slaves of these colonies will be free
on the Ist of July, 1863, on the following conditions :-1.
An indemnity of 300 guilders, or 1,825 francs, will be paid
to the slave-owners for every slave, without distinction of
age or sex ; 2. The slaves will undergo a system of appren-
ticeship upon the plantations during three years ;,3. They
will receive wages in return for their labour, one half of
which will be paid to the Government."

THE LATE COURT MARTIAL ON CAP.

TAIN ROBERTSON.

THE SENTENCE.
(From the Dublin Freeman.)

We are in a position to state positively that the
sentence of the General Court-Martial on Captain
Robertson has been received. The finding is as fol-
lows :—On the Ist and 3d charges Captain Robert-
son is acquitted, and convicted on the 2d charge.
The sentence by the court is that he be cashiered;
but we are also in a position to say that hpr 31.-
jesty the Queen refuses, on the statement of the
Judge Advocate-General, to confirm their sentence,
and orders that Captain Robertson shall return to
his duty.

CONSULATR-GENERAL OF LIBERIA.
London, England, 1862-04-26

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—l ask permission to state in your columns a
misprint, as it turns out to be, of my own, which
will have interest for some at least among your
numerous readers.

They may have noticed in the fourth volume of
my "Life of Fitt" an account of his last illness, de-
rived from the papers at Woburn Abbey, and
drawn up by my uncle, the Hon. James H. Stan-
hope, who was present in the room when he died.
The handwriting of my uncle was far from good,
and this manuscript.is by no means easy to decipher.
I read in it, as I thought, and my copyist, under
my own eye, transcribed, the last words of Ur. Pitt
as these :—" Oh, my country ! how I love my coun-
try ?" As such the words have been published.
Since the publication, however, I found that the
transcript by another person has the word " leave"
instead of "love," referring, as it was natural for
Mr. Pitt to do, to the disastrous state of the con-
tinental war produced by the battle of Austerlitz.
By the kindness of the present Duke of Bedford,
I have been enabled to refer once again to the
original paper. It reached ma only by this morn-
ing's post. Having examined it with care, I have
now fully convinced myself, no doubt whatever
remaining in my mind, that I was mistaken in my
first impression, and that " leaVe" is the real reading.
The last words of Mr. Pitt, as an ear-witness has
recordef them, were therefore certainly as follows—
" Oh, my country ! how I leave my country !"
I shall not fail to restore the right reading in the
next edition of my book, but I think that it is never
too early to acknowledge or correct an error, and I
shall be glad if you will permit me on this contro-
verted question to make known at once the real fact
to the public.

I am, Sir, your very obedient, humble servant,
Chevening, April 24. STANHOFE.

*4* [Lord Stanhope's letter is decisive. Had it reached
this office a day sooner, we should have been glad, in the
review of Pitt's Life which was published yesterday, to
have adopted it for certain, instead of giving it, as we did,
with a note of interrogation. It was not like Pitt to go out
of the world saying, " How I love my country !"]—ED.

MR. JOHN SCOTT.

The current number of Bailey' s Monthly Magazine gives
the following admirable biography of John Scott :
With our April number we present to our readers the
poTtrait of one who, by force of his position, acquired by
rare ability and uncompromising integrity, has for the last
30 years occupied more attention in the racing world than
any other of his class, and who is still recognised at the
chief trainer of England, and consequently of the world.
Familiar as the public aro with the portraits of John Scott,
we imagine there can be but one opinion, that he has never
been given to the world so happilyas in the present instance;
and the artists, Messrs. Southwell, are the more to be con-
gratulated upon their success, seeing that their subject sat
to them the day after he had received the melancholy
tidings of the burning of Klarikoff, and the destruction of a
large amount of valuable property, and which naturally led
to a feeling of nervous depression impossible to conceal.
With this brief but necessary introduction, we premise our
sketch of his life, which if not of such length, or interlarded
with so many anecdotes, as might be anticipated, will be
excused, we hope, as it is our intention to commence next
month a series of articles,entitled " The Whitewall Papers,"
which will embrace all the remarkable features in the career
of the great winners,whose plates figure on the stable doom,
and whose portraits embellish the walls of Mr. Scott's re-
sidence.

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT TO A. CHILD WITH-
OUT ILL EFFECTS.—M. Josat gives an account of the
miraculous escape cf a child from the consequences of a
frightful accident. This infant, aged 29 months, playing
at a window of a house, No. 30, Rue de la Pais, Paris, lost
its balance and fell out from a height of five stories, striking
a hat from the hand of a hatter, who was carrying it home.
He lifted the child gently from the pavement and carried it
into the house, when after a few minutes the infant heaved
a sigh, and then uttered a small doleful cry. All the func-
tions were gradually re-established, and it was found that
there was neither fracture or dislocation, A week after,
the child was found playing and merry, as well as ever;
the only traces of any accident being three broken incisors
of the upper jaw, and much ecchymosis of the eyelids.—
