THE SUN, LONDON, INIONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1870.

overt with the partridges. we naci a charming stay at
Dunrobin—from the 19th of September to the 7th of this
month. Our party consisted of the Sandwich, Grosvenors
(only for a few days), Sumners, Bakers, F. Marshall, Alrud,
Ronald Gower, Sir H. Pilly Oliver, who did not look so
bad in a kilt as you heard ; Lascelles Falkiner and Sam
I
Buckley, who looked first-rate in his kilt. was also
three or four days in the Keay Forest, with the Grosvenors.
I shot four stags ; my. total was twenty-one. P. John
thanks you very much for your photo ; and I received
two very good ones, accompanied by a charming epistle,
from your sister. We are all delighted with Hamilton's
marriage, and I think you are rather hard on the young
lady, as, although not exactly pretty, she is very nice
looking, has charming manners, and is very popular
with everyone. From his letter he seems to very much
in love—a rare occurrence now-a-days. I will see what I
can do in getting a presentation for the son of Mrs. Brad-
shaw for the Royal Asylum of London, St. Ann's
Society. Francis will tell you result. London is very
empty, but I have plenty to do, so time does not go slowly,
and I go down shooting to Windsor and Richmond occa-
sionally. On the 26th I shall shoot with General Hall at
Newmarket, the following week at Knowsley, and then at
Windsor and Sandringham before we go abroad. This will
be probably on the 18th or 19th of next month. You told
me when I last saw you that you were probably going to
Paris in November, but I suppose you have given it up. I
saw in the papers that you were in London on Saturday. I
wish you had let me know, as I would have made a point of
calling. There are some good plays going on, and we are
going the rounds of them. My brother is here, but at the
end of the month he starts for Plymouth on his long cruise
of nearly two years. Now, I shall say good bye, and
hoping that probably we may have a chance of seeing you
before we leave.—l remain, yours most sincerely.

ALBERT EDWARD,

White's, Nov. 1.
My dear Lady Mordaunt,—Many thanks for your
letter, which I received this morning. I cannot tell you
at this moment the exact height of the ponies in question,
but I think they are just under fourteen hands, but as
soon as I know for certain, I shall not fail to let you
know. I would be only too happy if they will suit you,
and have the pleasure of seeing them in your hands. It
i 3 quite an age since I have seen or heard anything of you,
but I trust you had a pleasant trip abroad, and I suppose
you have been in Scotland since. Lord Derby has kindly
asked me to shoot with him at Buckenham on the 9th of
next month, and I hope I may, perhaps, have the pleasure
of seeing you there.—Believe me, yours ever sincerely,
ALBERT EDWARD.

Sandringham, King's Lynn, Nov. 30.
•
My dear Lady Mordaunt,—l was very glad to hear
from Colonel King,scote, the other day, that you had
bought my two ponies. I also trust that they will suit
you, and that you will drive them for many a year. I
have never driven them myself, so I don't know whether
they are easy to drive or not. I hope you have had some
hunting, although the ground is so hard that in some parts
of the country it is quite stopped. We had our first
shooting party this week, and got 809 head one day, and
29 woodcocks. Next week the great Oliver is coming. He
and Blandford had thought of going to Algiers, but they
have now given it up, and I don't know to what foreign
clime they are going to betake themselves. I saw Lady
Dudley at Onwallis, and I thought her looking very well.
I'm sorry to hear that you won't be at Buckenham when Igo
there, as it is such an age since I have seen you. If there
i 3 anything else (besides horses) that I can do for you
please let me know, and I remain, yours ever sincerely,
ALBERT EDWARD.

Marlborough House, May 7, 1867.
My dear Lady Mordaunt, Many thanks for your
letter, and I am very sorry that I should have given you
so much trouble looking for the ladies' umbrella for me at
Paris. lam very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay
there. I shall be going there on Friday next, and as
the Princess is so much better, shall hope to remain
a week there. If there is any commission I can do for
you there it will give me the greatest pleasure to carry it
out. I rer,ret very much not to have been able to call
upon you smce your return, but hope to do so when I come
back from Paris, and have an opportunity of making the
acquaintance of your husband.—Believe me, yours very
sincerely,

ALBERT EDWARD.

Monday.
My dear Lady Mordaunt,—l am sure you will be glad
to hear that the Princess was safely delivered of alittle girl
this morning, and that both are doing very well. I hope
you will come to the Oswald and St. James's Hall this
week. There would, I am sure, be no harm in your
remaining till Saturday in town. I shall like to see you
again.—Believe me, yours ever sincerely,

ALBERT EDWARD.

Thursday.
My dam. Lady Mordaunt,—l am sorry to find by the
letter that I received from you this morning that you are
unwell, and that I shall not be able to pay you a visit
to-day, to which I had been looking forward with so much
pleasure. To-morrow and Saturday I shall be hunting in
Nottinghamshire ; but if you are still in town, may I
come to see you about five on Sunday afternoon ; and
hoping you will soon be yourself again, believe me, yours
ever sincerely,

ALBERT EDWARD.

Sunday.
My dear Lady Mordaunt,—l cannot tell you how die-
tressed I am to hear from your letter that you have got the
measles, and that I shall in consequence not have the
pleasure of seeing you. I have had the measles myself a
long time ago, and I know what a tiresome complaint it is.
I trust you will take great care of yourself, and have a
good doctor with you. Above all, I should not read at all,
as it is very bad for the eyes, and I suppose you will be
forced to lay up a time. The weather is very favourable
for your illness ; and wishing you a very speedy recovery,
—Believe me, yours most sincerely,
ALBERT EDWARD.

Sunday.
My dear Lady Mordaunt,—Many thanks for your kind
letter. lam so glad to hear that you have made so good
a recovery, and to be able soon to go to Hastings, which
is sure to do you a great deal of good. I hope that
perhaps on your return to London I may have the
pleasure of seeing you.—Believe me very sincerely,
ALBERT EDWARD.

FOIREIGN NOTES.
TUVOPPOSITION IN THE COUNCIL.

Our correspondent writing from Rome on the 16th, say
very little has as yet been done in the way of serious business,
I,nd the opponents of the definition are doing all they
,ossibly can to gain time by lengthening the debates on
the preliminaries. The discussions on the unifications of
:he smaller catechisms in every diocese of Christendom
was the ground chosen for dragging on the debates till after
Easter: The order of the matter has, however, there is
reason to believe been changed, and the articles
" De Ecclesia Dei," and "De Romano Pontifico," are
those first intended for settlement. Mgr. Dupanloup's
party is moving heaven and earth to gain its point, and
to increase and intensify the opposition. The Bishop
of Orl4ans maintains twelve secretaries at his orders
and they are fully employed. The receptions of his part}
takes place at the Hon. Mrs. Craven's, a well-known
authoress, and at the Villa Grazioli, the present residence
.if Mgr. Dupanloup. A petition against the definition is
under-stood to be lying for signature in Paris for ladies.

AMERICAN CORRESPONDENCE.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
NEW YortK, Feb. 5.
. The ruffian Reynolds, alias O'Brien, and I do
not know how many other names, has given Horace
Greeley a hard nut to crack. After perpetrating a
brutal murder, he quietly said—" Hanging for
murder in New York is played out." If he wanted
to defeat the efforts of our philanthropic Horace in
behalf of such agreeable companions and desirableac-
quaintances, he could not have taken a better course,
or supplied a more forcible argument. The sweet
creature's real name is Sylvester Bream, aged 24,
born in Ireland, where is relatives now are; landed
in America in 1865, spent three years in a Massa-
chusetts State prison, has also been in Deer Island,
Taunton, and Moyamensing Prisons ; is a professional
thief and bully, as his exploits will show on the night
previousto the murder. He entured abar near Water-
street, and got a glass of whisky ; then be called
for something to ear, and washed down three eggs
with more whisky. Then he arose and walked
out, but a young German who had served him
called Us attention to the fact that he had forgot-
ten to pay. Bream answered with a jeer that he
had no money, when the other seized a club, and
intercepting him a scuffle ensued, wherein the glass
door was smashed, and the German might have
been throttled had not the police arrived, who
seized Bream, and securing him intimated that if
he stirred he would blow the top of his head away.
He spent that night at the station-house, but was
discharged next day, as no prosecutor appeared,
and went forth in search of fresh adventures and
more " grub." Where begot liquorl cannot say, but
by the evening of last Saturday he was half drunk,
when he took it into his head that he would
sleep in William Townsend's grocery, 192, Hudson-
street. Mr. Townsend refused, and attempted to
push Bream, alias Reynolds, out. Unfortunately
for both the latter had but the moment before en-
tering stolen a shoe-knife from a neighbouring shop,
with which he made a thrust at the former, who
nearly lost his band iu parrying it. Another blow,
however, sent the blade through Townsend's heart,
and he died almost immediately. The ruffian was
seized and hurried to the station-house, followed by
a crowd, who loudly threatened to hang him to the
nearest lamp-post. And I am constrained to say,
whatever may be the evils of such mob law, that a
few such executions might be attended with some
wholesome effects. The picture of such unpunished
brutality as Now York often presents is a downright
premium to ci itne, and this wretch's careerof 24 hours
shows that it would be better for this city to have had
a royal Bengal tiger let loose in the streets. " Hang-
ing for murder in New York is played out;" a fine text
for a burglars' meeting. Mr. Townsend was born iu
Birmingham, England, some 55 years ago, of which
he, spent 22 here. He was a highly respected citi-
zen, and as he leaves a widow and six children in
straitened circumstances a collection has been made,
and several contributions received for their relief.
I am the more particular in mentioning this in your
columns, as Birmingham may subscribe towards this
object, in which case, the Rev. Dr. Weston, of St.
John's Chapel, New York, should be addressed.
Poor Townsend was buried in Greenwood Cemetery.
The funeral, which took place on Monday, was at-
tended by many respectable citizens of the Fifth
Ward, and his neighbours make no secret of their
desire to lynch the murderer. This feeling is very
strong, and has given a new impetus to the forma-
tion of a Vigilance Committee, to execute summary
justice. The latest burglar dodge transpired on
the examination of M‘Dermott and Clarke, at the
Tombs, last Monday. They are described as part-
ners in ad 'extensive firm, doing a wholesale busi-

' ness in burglary. For the past—half-year entrances
at night have been effected at intervals through
the skylights of the establishments, and Messrs.
Barton and Co., Beekman-street, have been great
sufferers. Nearly 2,000 labourers were discharged
on Saturday from the Brooklyn Navy-yard, the
appropriations for their wages hming been ex-
hausted. At a meeting of the Stock Exchange,
close on 400 members being present, it was de-
cided by a vast majority to sustain the go-
verning committee in requiring the Gold and
Stock Telegraph Company to cease from quot-
ing Rock Island shares. Although the feeling
was little less than unanimous, the' Rock Island
found au able advocate in Mr. C. Iliuckley. R. W.
Rogers, Esq., well known in the Stock Exchange
as one of the members, died suddenly on Monday
morning of heart disease, although on the previous
Saturday he appeared at this meeting in excellent
health. Joseph Levi, in a fit of insanity, cut his
throat at 31, De Lancy-street. His brother Jacob
and himself, who occupied the same apartments,
are reported to be wealthy men. The grand jury
object to the Egyptian Tombs, as a place utterly
unfit for the detention of prisoners, from its faulty
construction and unhealthy location, and it is
believed that the prison will soon be trans-
ferred. up town. Prince Arthur returned here last
Saturday,going to the Brevoort House, and being fa-
voured by heavy rain, the party got through without a
gaping crowd. Ile dined on Monday with Mr.
Butler Duncan ; on Tuesday with Mr. L. P. Mor-
ton ; and on Thursday with Mr. August Belmont.
On Tuesday the grand ball. at Delmonico's came
off ; another is to be given by the 'Twenty-second
Regiment at the Academy of Music, and a charity
ball is also to be there given, as well as a reception
at the Ladies' Club, Brooklyn. The Prince went
to Trinity Church on Sunday, and as the weather
had become fine, by ten o'clock more than the 2,000
persons the church is calculated to accommodate
occupied every pew. Younge, Prince Arthur was as-
signed the place given to bis brother more than
eleven years ago. The clergymen were the Revs.
Drs. Dix, Vinton, and Ogilby ; the first, a brother
of the General, preaching the sermon, from the
parable of the talents. The Prince on leaving
found Broadway blocked up, and he was very
heartily greeted as be entered his carriage. At
Niblo's, next evening, he was again well re-
ceived, the orchestra playing " God save the
Queen " as he entered, when the audience rose and
loudly cheered. Later on, the cheers being re-
peated, some hissing was heard, but it was a feeble
effort, which only called forth a more decided de-
monstration of his popularity. The British Bene-
volent Societies were received by him at the Bre-
voort House, the British Consul and Vice-Consul,
in Court costume, presenting some of the gentle-
men. The Caledonian Club appeared in full High-
land garb, giving to the ceremony a picturesque
appearance. Many British merchants and bankers
accompanied the deputations. The Prince answered
the address in a few very well-turned sentences,
speaking with that quiet composure which tends so
much to give a dignity to his manner. On' uesday
morning he walked to the City Hall, calling at vari-
ous stores in Broadway, then to the Astor Library,
to Stewart's down-town store. After lunch Central
Park was visited, and Brooklyn Club on the Heights.
The French theatre expected a visit, and managed
to fill accordingly, but, though many preparations
were made, H. R. H. did not put in an appearance.
It is reported that the Spanish gunboats have all
safely arrived at Cuba, though one has been wrecked.
Many have proceeded to their stations, and we may
expect to bear of the capture of vessels carrying
ammunition to the insurgents. The steamer Lavaca,
from Key West, arrived at Havanna, Feb. 1, with
the body of Gonzale Castanon, the late editor of the
Vox de Cuba, ou board. The vessel entered the
harbour with colours at half-mast. Castanon's
body is to be embalmed, and subscriptions are being
raised for his family. There has been a meeting of

the New York ba-r, E. S. Van Winkle presiding.
A committee was elected to prepare a suitable con-
stitution and bye-laws for the association ; also for
nominating officers, to be reported at a future
meeting, after which addresses were made by Ed-
wards Pierrepont, Win. M. Evarts, E. W:Stough-
ton, and others.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.

Among recent arrivals here is that of the lion.
Hiram R. Revels, who is the guest of Mr. Downing,
a prominent coloured citizen. Great interest is felt
in Mr. Revels as the coloured man who has attained
the most exalted position yet reached in-the United
States. The astounding nature of the change makes
one feel as in a dream—Mississippi sending a co-
loured man to represent her in the Senate, and the
Democrats of South Carolina placing a coloured
man on the Supreme Bench of that State ! Mr.
Revels is 58 years old, his complexion is an olive,
has a fine portly person, and a good cast of fea-
tures. He was received on the floor and introduced
to several Senators on Monday. General Tate, the
coloured representative from Hayti, finds himself
in the wrong place, now that his chief, Salnave, has
been executed as a criminal. lie has addressed a
statement to Secretary Fish notifying a decree re-
moving him from the position of Minister and
banishing him from the Republic, and at the same
time he signified to the President that be could not
therefore attend the State dinner given on Wednes-
day. After all, Tate is fortunate in being here in-
stead of there, for if there, would in all probability
have been in the grave of Salnave. Mr. Arthur
Folsom has superseded him, having arrived here on
Tuesday. fie is commissioned with Mr. Delmonte,
an islander, who has been residing in New York,
to act for the new Government of Hayti, and, as its
representatives, they were presented to the President
last Wednesday, Gen. Tate and wife leave for New
York to-morrow, where be will remain till the de-
cree of exile is removed, and as a proof how unpo-
pular annexation is in his country, it is asserted
that he was banished because be was supposed
to be negotiating the lease of the Mole of St. Nico-
las to the United States. The General is a great
favourite? and has been long known here. Francis

A. Walker of Massachusetts, at present in charge
of the Bureau of Statistics, is to superintend the
coming census. Doubtless Mr. Walker, who held
during the war the rank of Brigadier-General, will
be appointed, though there is an irregularity in his
nomination by the President. The law of 1850
directs the Secretary of the Interior to fill the post,
but the House passed a bill last December making
many changes in that la w,among them one authoriz-
ing the President to make the appointment. The
bill, however, has not yet become law. Mr. Low has
left for China with his suite, but the Foreign Af-
fairs Committee have decided adversely on raising
the mission to one of the first class, on the ground
that this is not the time to increase the salaries of our
Ministers. I may here remark on an order on
emigration from the Foreign Board at Peking, re-
ceived in the State Department through the Consul
at Annoy. The opinion expressed by the Consul is
that the em'gration must be confined to the port of
Hongkong :

_
" First—Non-treaty power merchants are act prmitted
to open emigration agencies. Second—Non-treaty power
ships are nut permitted to carry coolie emigrants. Third
Coolie emigrants aro not permitted to proceed under con-
tract to non-treaty power countries. Fourth—Only treaty-
power merchants can open emigration agencies; only
treaty power ships can carry such emigrants, and it is only
to treaty power countries such contract emigrants can
proceed. Fifth—The Coolie traffic is prohibited at Macao.
The Commissioner of Customs is to co-operate with the
Superintendent in seeing that the rules and regulations of
each agency opened by the authority of the local or territo-
rial officials are iu accordance with the Convention of 1866,
and is to act with the officers deputed by the local officials
in ascertaining that each emigrant fully understands the
contract under which he proceeds,. and that ho goes abroad
and under the contract of his own free will. The Com-
missioner is furthermore to sign and seal each contract in
proof that the Coolie understands its meaning and accepts
its terms, and he is also to take care that the ships employed
to carry Coolies are bona fide treaty-power ships."
A movement is on foot to double the tariff on Eng-
lish made books ; the American publishers com-
plaining that they aro driving the native works out
of the field, and the new Import Bill fixes them at
25 cents per pound, and 15 cents on pamphlets. It
is now almost certain that the bill will at least pass
the House, abolishing polygamy in Utah, and autho-
rizing the President to use the army, if necessary,
but the senate is inclined to await the peaceful effect
of the Union Pacific Railroad. Senator Sumner bears
high testimony to the statesmanlike and diplomatic
abilities which have marked the intercourse of
General Sickles with the Spanish Government, and
it is now nearly certain that he will be confirmed
as Minister to Madrid. Judge Grier, who bade the
Supreme Court good bye on Monday, after being
connected with it thirty-four years,is to be succeeded
by Judge Strong, of Pennsylvania. Attorney-
General Hoar has been rejected for thesupreme bench.
Mr. Edmunds of Vermont alone cast his vote
against him among the New England Senators,
while Warner of Alabama, and Gilbert of Florida,
only voted in the negative of all the Southern
Senators. Every Democrat voted against him,
and several Senators absented themselves. The
Plymouth, our ship which crossed over with Mr.
Peabody's remains, is to be repaired at the Ports-
mouth Navy yard before returning tothe Mediterra-
nean squadron. Capt. Cotnmerell has been invited
to use the Boston orNew York yards for repairs the
Monarch may need, and the Secretary of War asks
him to bring that splendid ship to Annapolis that
Congress and the Cabinet may see her. Mr. Brown,
Secretary to the Burlingame Embassy, arrived here
from China,and had an interview withSecretaryFish;
he carried the ratified treaty with the United States,
and he will oontinue his journey to Berlin, merely
stopping here for a day or two. Mr. Samuel H. M.
Byers has been named Consul at Zurich. The
military room of the Representatives of Congress
has been inundated with the simultaneous petitions
from army officers to raise their pay, but instead of
this Congress is unmercifully striking off super-
numeraries.

PARIS, Feb. 17.
For the past week we have had real winter,
thermometer 12 degrees below. zero. The Seine
filled with floating ice, and good skating at the
Bois. Our American belles have had a fine oppor-
tunity for exercise of a more healthy character than
their usual Parisian dissipations, and the bright eyes
and ruddy cheeks bear evidence that the opportunity
has not been neglected. Mrs. Moulton, as usual,
carries off the palm at the Skating Club, but many of
her young countrywomen in grace and elegance can
almost dispute the right with her. Mr. Fuller, the
famous American skater, has attracted large crowds,
his costumes and nurnerousmedals making him a con-
spicuous object. He had the opportunity of giving the
Prince Imperial some lessons, the two skating hand
in hand. Should the cold continue we are pro-
mised to-night a grand illumination, with a band of
music. The trial of Prince Pierre Bonaparte will
take place next week. It is reported in the French
papers that M. de Joinville has admitted that the
Prince was struck, before he fired at Noir. This
being proved, he will be aciuitted. The reaction
in the matter of emeutes and barricades basset in with
a vengeance. The Figaro has started a subscription
for the formation of a society, something on the plan
of the Regulators of San Francisco, and its adhe-
rents comprise members from all classes of society.
The Government has been notified that it will be well
supported in every action, however determined, to
put down, once and for ever, outbreaks, the only
result of which is to injure the business of Paris,
upon which so many thousands are dependent.
Americans have thinned off very rapidly the past
few weeks—the Grand Hotel alone:keeping up its
fair complement of guests. The American Minister
has issued invitations for areception on the 22d of
this month. It will be his first public reception,
and be well attended. There is still talk of a din-
ner and ball for the same date, but nothing decided.
Some few specimens of the new gold coin, of 25
francs in value, have been issued. 'lt has been pro-
posed to call them " Emperors." When the same
value shall be fixed for the sovereign, our $5-piece,
and this coin, it will be a great advantage,
each circulating in every country at par. The
American mails have been much delayed ; to-day
we receive the accumulation of three weeks, bring-
ing dates from the 25th Jan. to the sth Feb. A
case of great interest is now before the French
courts, and one which the literary and scientific
world have already had room to comment upon—
the autograph collection of M. Chosles. The facts
so far prove that this gentleman expended over
140,000 francs, and that he purchased from one
man (now in prison) 27,000 different letters, docu-
ments,&c., which were p urported to have been written
by the most noted characters of past ages, and are all
proved to be forgeries. These writings, in every de-
tail of parchment, paper, ink, and calligraphy, defy
the scrutiny of the most learned savans. Among
the most curious of them are five letters from
Abelard, including a short poem, entitled, " The
Unfortunate Tower." Letters from Alexander the
Great to Aristotle, a challenge from Julius Cmsar
to Vercingetorix, letter from Charlemagne to Alcuin,
&c. &c. Mr. Chosles paid 1,200 francs for a letter
of Robelais, and 500 for one of Moliere. The most
remarkable of this collection, however, are the let-
ters of Pascal, in which he proves his prior discovery
of the laws of attraction, and which have already led
to much discussion in scientific journals. 1 will
advise you of the progress of the trial, and its deci-
sion, in my next. BEN HAMET.
