THE BESSEMER PROCESS.—Yesterday afternoon a

sent wore Mr. T. B. Hersfall, M.P., Mr. C. Turner, M.P.

HON. CALEB CUSHING.—This gentleman, the object of
whose visit to 'Europe has caused much discussion, sailed
from New York on the 13th inst. The Springfield
Republican asserts that he is sent by the United States
Government, " with reference to a preposterous claim of
five million dollars damages set up by the Hudson Bay
Company for the loss of their hunting grounds and the
rendering useless of their stations by the settlement and
civilisation of Oregon and Washington Territories by the
enterprising Yankees. The claim has been referred to a
commission to examine and adjudicate, and Mr. CUSHING
is employed to present the evidence against it, and show
up the weakness and wickedness of that by which it is
sustained." We have reason to repeat our assertion of last
week that Mr. Cum's° comes to this country on pro-
fessional and not political business.
The Hon. H. H. Emmons of Detroit, one of the most
distinguished legal authorities on railway subjects in
the Western States, and President of the Great Western
Railway of Canada, are sojourning for a few weeks at
Wood's Family Hotel, Frankfort-on-the-Maine. Their
visit to the Continent is in connection with the Detroit
and Milwaukie Railroad.
Dr. Stern, :President. of Amherst College, was last week
at Geneva. It is his intention to visit Rome and the Holy
Land before his return to America.
