COURT CIRCULAR.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited tLe
Queen yesterday, at Buckingham Palace.
The Prince Consort, attended by the Earl of Verulam,

Alverbank.

THE DUKEDOM OF DEVONSHIRE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE gI7N.

SIR,—I have aeon in a French paper an article, trans-
lated from the Court Journal, stating that a son of the
late pretended Duke of Devonshire claims the titles and
estates which his father was allowed to enjoy, since
which a copy of the article which appeared has been
forwarded to me. To that article I beg to reply. and
request to insert the same in your journal.
The late Lord George Cavendish (my father) married
my mother in the year 1730. She was a Catholic. The
marriage was first per formed agreeably to the rites of
the Protestant Church ; secondly, by a Catholic priest,
according to the rites of the Catholio Church. The cer-
tificates of the marriages are in my possession, properly
.and duly attested by four witnesses.
The late Lard George Cavendish (my father) was
perfectly aware of the late pr,:t.2nded duke having been
substituted in the place of a girl. His ~vould-be father
never had a son, and Lord George allowed the said son
to enjoy the titles and estates of his soi-disant father
during his life.
The pretended duke may have broken his promise,
and contracted a secret marriage, and his son may new
come forth and lay claim to the titles and estates of his
father ; no law prevents this, but the law does and will
prevent his entering into possession of the property to
which hie father had no legal claim.
I am willing to give to this son (if he exists) all the
real beLefite attached to his birth ; but the claims he
sets up can never ba justified in the presence of the
fat's above stated.
I have in my possession all the necessary documents
and papers, duly attested, to prove the substitution of
the pretended duke, and no time will be lost to place
tibein before the competent tribunals, with the firm per-
snasion that justice will be given to qui de droit.
I am not a young man, have no family, but a dearly
beloved wife, to whom I forward this for insertion.
The title of duke has few charms for me, but I will
never suffer that title and the estates attached to it to
fell into the hands of those who have no just claims to
Of j )3, them.—l am, sir, your obedt. servant,

PARIS, FRIDAY Evunro.
The Constitutionnel, in reproducing the article of
the Moniteur which commented on certain mis-
representations published by the Times, denounces
the latter journal in the following manner
The Moniteur has refuted the calumnies of
the Times in a few clear and simple words. This
signal honour has been deserved neither by the
sincerity nor the good faith of that journal. Hew'
ever there are some statements which cannot be
allowed to pass over unobserved, even when they
proceed from a newspaper which has earned dis-
repute by the systematical character of its dis-
tributes. If there is anything calculated to wound
the sentiments of an honourable man, it is to bear
a notoriously false statement repeated with a tone
of authority. NOT, the Times in some of its
assertions evidently declines to recognise the
rules of common propriety, which we imagine
are as binding to journals as to individuals. The
its
treacherous has really no excuse for publishing.
treacherous impostures. It possesses correspon-
dents in Paris ; why can it not obtain from there
explanations of facts which are known to all
But we forget that this journal has adopted its policy,
and would be very sorry not to lie or to calum-
niate. This journal offers a fancy sketch of the
connection between the police and the salons. Butt
as this is a subject which cannot be familiar to
everybody, we will be less severe in our reflections.
We cannot expect certain correspondents of the
Times to be well acquainted with all that occurs in
places where they never set foot. The Times hasp
consequently, only one resource—invention."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.
The New Gazette of Prussia asserts that the plan
of organisation/proposed for the Danubian principali-
ties is to give them the same administration, but to
keep them separate, and to place at their head two
llospodars, to be chosen by the Sultan from a list
of candidates proposed by the Divans. The New
Gazette, however, declares that the union has not
been abandoned, but adjourned; and thus,
it says, is proved by the fact that it has been
determined to give the principalities the name,
of the "United Provinces of Moldavia and
Wallachia." Ta this denomination, it adds,
the Porte long objected, and it was not until after
the departure of Lord Stratford de Redoliffe that
he could be induced to accept it. As to the attri-
butions of the Divans, they are to comprise the vote
of taxes, but not the initiative in legislative mea-
sures.

THE RAILWAY PORTERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIE,.—I observe, from a paracraph in your
paper, that the Earl of Rosse prognosticates
, an extreme hot summer. You would, therefore,
confer a great benefit by inserting in your valuable
columns these few lines, for the protection of the
railway porters, as in some places they are exposed
to the beat very much, and in many instances have
become giddy in executing their duties while wear-
ing the r bats, which are covered on the top wish
oilskin (glaze), and attract the heat very much,
so that at times you cannot place your hand on
them. In many instances the men have failed in
executing their duties when the public have been
dependent on their exertions. If private caps or
hats are used, they are at once oljected to ; and
the men are told that unless they wear the caps
provided for them by the company, they must
' leave the service. lam sure the directors of lines
would immediately order hats of a different ma-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
FEMALE PICKPOCKETS.—Caroline Cox and Jane Harris,
two dec,ntly-dreesed females, were charged before Mr.
Bingham with attempting to pick
pockets in Regent-
circus yesterday afternoon.
Police-constable Braddick said he eaw the prisoner..
on the previous afternoon at the corner of the Regent-
circus on each side of a lady, who was looking into a
baker's shop. Cox put her hand under the lady's mantle
and felt her dress. They then walked away. He fol-
lowed them, and when at the corner of Cavendish-street
he saw Cox go alongside a lady who was crossing the
road, Harris being behind. He then saw Cox put her
hand under the lady's mantle. They then walked along
Oxford-street till near Marylebone-lane. The prisoner
Cox then stood beside a lady, Harris being behind. Cox
again put her hand under this lady's mantle and felt
her dress. They then went back to the Circus and
crossed Regent-street. He then called a constable, and
with his assistants took them into custody. Cox, who
had had her gloves off all the while, then put them on.
He knew Cox well. -Slie had been in custody three or
four times, and Harris had, he believed, been in custody
b fore.

Russell, 166 C, corroborated the witness's evidence in
the most material parts, and said he observed the pri-
soners pass him twice and saw them, together about a
quarter of an hour. Era did not notice the ether officer
following them at the time.

Mr. Wontner, who appeared for the prisoners, said it
was a remarkable thing that the officer should follow the
prisoners about for a length of time, knowing them to
be pickpockets, see them attempt to rob four ladies and
not t Ake them into custody. It was also remarkable that
although he observed the females he did not observe the
officer.

Mr. Bingham said the officer knew how to do his duty,
and if he was a Police Commissioner instead of a magi-
strate, he should say he had done his duty ♦ery properly.
He was quite satisfied with his conduct. He had no
doubt they (the prisoners) were Pursuing their avocation
to the best of their ability, and he should therefore com-
mit them for three month.

A DELICATE QUESTION.—A. legal question of
delicate nature is now exciting extraordinary interest
in
Westphalia,—viz., whether a husband has a right to
open his wife's letters. The question arose out of a suit
for divorce, instituted by the husband, in which he ob-
tained a decree ; but the conclusive piece of evidence
was a letter from the Lothario, addressed to the wife,
and the contents of which would never have been known
had not the husband been so ungallant as to break the
seal. The divorced wife at once prosecuted him for
opening the letter, and the tribunal of Unne has decided
that he was wrong, and has sentenced him to a fine of ten
thalera. An appeal is pending, the result of which is
anxiously watched by the public.

In consequence of orders received yesterday from
the company, the steamship Bilboa, Capt Kava-
naugh, has been hauled hack from the stream in
Iramoaze to the wharf at Keyham, and is now re-
ceiving the thick cable originally designed for the
shore end of the Atlantic Telegraph at Valentia.
The Erebus, 16,' floating battery, is to take.in
three guns, and is to be laid up off the Excellent,
in Portsmouth Harbour, to try if shot fired from
her will cause her to shake or roll. Her funnel
had to be taken out to make room for the admission
of the guns.
An Admiralty order arrived yesterday morning
at Chatham, directing the following promotions to

THE CHINESE WAR INDEMNITY.

A correspondent who has had a good official ex-
perience of the Chinese expresses a strong appre-
hension that if the payment of the war indemnity,
which is rumoured to have been fixed at £3,200,000
for England and £1,200,000 for France, is allowed
to be left dependent on the collection of Customs'
dues at Canton, not only will its receipt be proble-
matical, but there will be a constant recurrence of
disputes. It is thought that, owing to the orga-
nised system of smuggling encouraged by the local
authorities, and tacitly promoted by the commercial
representatives of the various Governments, Euro-
pean and American, trading with the country, the
annual total lately paid by foreigners at Canton
for import and shipping dues has actually not ex-
ceeded £50,000. The practice has been to sell the
imports, leaving the purchaser to pay the duties ;
exports, on the other hand, being purchased on
board ship, so that in either case the payment of all
imposts was invariably left to the Chinamen, who
made their own arrangements with the Custom-
house runners and river police. Under these cir-
cumstances it is contended -that if the indemnity
is to be secured promptly and quietly it must
come from Pekin, and that it would be grie-
vous to withdraw the fleet from the Mho
so long as there is a single point on
which we arc asked to trust to promises. The same
writer looks with apprehension to the turbulent
disposition of the Cantonese, coupled with their
virulent hatred of foreigners, and recalls the fact
that some years back a deputation presented them-
selves at the British Consulate from the 96 villagers
of the district, consisting of the gentry and land-
holders, for the purpose of giving a " respectful
warning that any foreigners found in the surround-
ing country would be killed, in the same manner
as some half-dozen gentlemen lately at Hwang
Chee-kee, " the anger of the people being intense
and their will uncontrollable." This feeling he
believes to be as universal as ever. "I can there-
fore, never again," he says, " look forward to Canton
as a place of trade or safety." On this point,
however, few persons perhaps will be disposed to
share his fears to their full extent. The recent mis-
management of the British and French occupation
hay doubtless done much to encourage the trucu-
lent spirit of the rabble, but under a determined
course, such as Lord Elgin would probably have
adopted towards them, the result, it may be pre-
sumed, would have been wholly different, and
they would have thought only of trading and
cheating. At the same time, with regard to the
indemnity, there can be little doubt that it should
be made a prompt transaction, and that the Empe-
ror, if pressed, could find the means of settling it
with perfect ease. Custom-house complications at
Canton, or any of the other ports, are certainly the
last things with which it would be desirable to en-
cumber the new era which the opening of China to
the world is expected to inaugurate.—Times.

THE POTATO CROP IN IRELAND.

DU
of the weatherßLlN F , ninAY
in
This day's reports of thestate
some of the northern counties are by no means
favourable; and as the consequence of the con-
tinued wet, the accounts of the spread of the potato
blight are becoming more numerous. The Banner
of Ulster says :
" The decay in the native esculent, which must
now be regarded as unmistakeably hereditary, if
not perennial, is making melancholy ravages in
nearly every quarter of this district, and, so far as
we can learn, throughout a much wider division of
the country. As has happened for two or three
years past, the truffle—the best of the table
varieties of potatoes, now suffers more severely than
any other description • while the largest and best
Frown tubers are found most tainted. Potatoes so
injured are to be had in almost any quantity in
this market in this market,. at from ls. Bd. to
2s per cwt., for pig-feeding, for which they are
rapidly bought up, and are encouraging the rear-
ing of young porkers. Pickled truffles sell so high
as 4s. Bd., and even upwards, per cwt. White
rocks, cups, M'Mullans, and other sorts in general
use in Belfast, are not so much diseased as the fore-
going, but are all more or less blighted. Ship-
Tents from this port to England, Wales, and Scot-
.Nior;:tshaelm'nueTlfrEtrci,,ohn,talainnsd'

" I have tried for several years the effect of peat
charcoal in preserving potatoes affekted by the dis-
ease with the greatest success, and can testify that
peat charcoal sprinkled among them instantly stops
the rot, takes away the bad smell, and renders them
sweet and wholesome food. I tried the experi-
ment of keeping potatoes which were diseased for
two years in peat charcoal, and planted them the
third, and they produced a good crop. In storing
potatoes in general it is most efficacious, as it pre-
serves the sound potatoes from being infected by
the tainted ones, some of which are unavoidably
left among them. Nor is the peat charcoal lost, as
I mix it with other manures when the potatoes are
removed."

to be played a second time with impu-
nity. An intimation from head-quarters will
be attended with immediate success, and it will be
our own faults if we do not speedily show it.
Nothing is mentioned in the present telegram
touching the pecuniary indemnity for the expenses
of the • war. We have, however, no reason to doubt
that it has been granted, and that in this case the
full outlay will be repaid to the Exchequer. A
further and more satisfactory telegram may be
momentarily expected—the particulars whereof
will appear immediately on its arrival.

It is not merely with our transatlantic brethren
that submarine telegraphs are opening, and the
benefits of instantaneous communication obtained.
The Channel Islands have come forward nobly in

- -
the good cause. The line was suitably opened on
Tuesday to Jersey, and the first message was very
properly directed to her MAJESTY, then resting at
Holy rood House, after the inauguration of the new
Town-hall at Leeds. The communication from the
directors was made in the best taste, and the
QUEEN'S reply was conceived in a similar spirit.
They modestly declared that though the establish
ment of rapid communication with the mother
country was an event of much importance to the em-
pire at large, it was one of heartfelt satisfaction to
the inhabitants of the Channel Islands, " as tend-
ing to draw still closer the bonds which, for
nearly 1,000 years, have linked them to the Crown
of England, and more firmly to secure that connec-
tion, the foundation of their liberties and their pros-
perity, which, like their ancestors, they would
deem no sacrifice too great to preserve."
Her MAJESTY, with that peculiar felicity for
which she is so greatly distinguished, complimented
the people on the " closer connection thus happily
established with a portion of her dominions
hitherto locally separated, but always united to the
Crown by a spirit of unswerving loyalty unsur-
passed in any'part of them," of which the message
just transmitted contained a very gratifying
expression.

These are the peaceful triumphs, more glorious
than any achieved on the ensanguined field, which
bind heart to heart, and render her MAJESTY'S sub-
jects truly one people, under one ruler. It was a
well-merited recognition of the devoted and faithful
love invariably displayed by the inhabitants of the
Channel Islands to their Sovereigns. They were
of suspicion never rested
always true. A shadow
on their heads, and we have no doubt that they will
long prove the inviolable fidelity for which they
have been so greatly distinguished.

We trust that there may be a further extension.
Alderney, the first station on the line, is but nine
miles from Cherbourg. An additional line could
be laid down to "the coast at a very trifling ex-
pewe, which would give another mode of instan-
taneous communication with the Continent, and
materially add to the value, and enhance the divi-
dends of the Channel Islands Telegraph.

THE CHINESE IVA?? INDEMNITY.

A correspondent who has had a good official ex-
perience of the Chinese expresses a strong appre-
hension that if the payment of the war indemnity,
which is rumoured to have been fixed at £3,200,000
for England and £1,200,000 for France, is alloWed
to be left dependent on the collection of Customs'
dues at Canton, not only will its receipt be proble-
matical, but there will be a constant recurrence of
disputes. It is thought that, owing to the orga-
nised system of smuggling encouraged:by the local
authorities, and tacitly promoted-by the commercial
representatives of the various Governments, Euro-
pean and American, trading with the country, the
annual total lately paid by foreigners at :Canton
for import and shipping dues has actually not ex-
ceeded £50,00Q. The practice has been to sell the
imports, leaving the purchaser to,pay the duties.;'
exports, on the other hand, being purchased on
board ship, so that in either case the payment of all.
imposts was invariably left to the Chinamen, who
made their own arrangements with the Custom-
house runners-and river police. Under these eir-
cumstancesit is contended that if the indemnity
is to be secured promptly and quietly it must
come from Pekin, and that it would be grie-
vous to withdraw the fleet from the Peiho
so long as there is a single point on
which we are asked to trust to promises. The same
. writer looks with apprehension to the turbulent
disposition of the Cantonese, coupled with their
virulent hatred of foreigners, and recalls the fact
that some years back a deputation presented them-
selves at the British Consulate from the 96 villages
of the district, consisting of the gentry and land-
holders,
for the purpose of giving a " respectful
warning that any foreigners found in the surround-
ing country would be killed, in the same manner
as some half-dozen gentlemen lately at Hwang
Chee-kee, " the anger of the people being intense
and their will uncontrollable." This feeling he
believes to be as universal as ever. "I can there-
fore, never again," he says, " look forward to Canton
as a place of trade or safety." On this point,
however, few persons perhaps will be disposed to
sitar° his fears to their full extent. The recent mis-
management of the British and French occupation
hai doubtless done much to encourage the trucu-
lent spirit of the rabble, but under a determined
course, such as Lord Elgin would probably have
adopted towards them, the result, it may be pre-
sumed, would have been wholly different, and
they would have thought only of trading and
cheating. At the same time, with regard to the
indemnity, there can be little doubt that it should
be made a prompt transaction, and that the Empe-
ror, if pressed, could find the means of settling it
with- perfect ease. Custom-house complications at
Canton, or any of the other ports, are certainly the
last things with which it would be desirable to en-
cumber the new era which the opening of China to
the world is expected to inaugurate.—Times.

THE NAVY.

The Archer, 13, screw sloop, Capt. J. Sanderson,
at Portsmouth, will, it is reported, sail for Vancou-
ver's Island when her repairs are completed.
The Valorous, 16, paddlewheel, Capt. W. C. Old-
ham, sails from Portsmouth to-day for Plymouth.
The Racer, 11, screw sloop, Commander Hon. T.
Pakenham, sailed from Spithead yesterday for Ply-
mouth with supernumeraries.
The Cygnet, 8, sloop, was towed round from
Portsmouth into Chichester harbour yesterday, by
the Comet, for Coastguard service.
In consequence of orders received yesterday from
the company, the steamship Bilboa, Capt. Kava-
naugh, has been hauled back from the stream in
Hamoaze to the wharf at Keyham, and is now re-
ceiving the thick cable originally designed for the
shore end of the Atlantic Telegraph at Valentia.

The Erebus, 16, floating -battery, is to take in
three guns, and is to be laid up off the Excellent,
in Portsmouth Harbour, to try if shot fired from
her will cause her to shake or roll. Her funnel
had to be taken out to make room for the admission
of the guns.
An Admiralty order arrived yesterday morning
at Chatham, directing the following promotions to
be made in the corps of Royal Marine Light In-
fantry :—Colonel J. T. Brown to be major-general ;
Colonel A. B. Strausham, second commandant at
Woolwich, to be commandant ; Colonel F. A.
Campbell, to be second commandant at Woolwich ;
Major J. 0. Travers, now serving in China, to be
lieutenant-colonel ; First Lieutenant R. T. Ansell,
to be captain.

The following appointments were made yester-
day at the ,Admiralty:—Lient. C. R. F. Boxer, to
the• Cumberland ; Lieut. C. P. Boger, additional, to
the Cumberland; H. B. Hunt, master, additional,
to the Hannibal, for the Falcon; and Dr. G. Moore,
additional surgeon, to the Caesar.

ITALY.

The Italian journals publish a letter addressed by
the comptroller of the customs at Palermo to the
director of the customs at Catania,in Sicily, inform-
ing him that the government had received informa-
tion that a quantity of fulrn,inating grenades, hav-
ing the form of fruit, and. packed up in boxes as
preserved fruit, had been sent to Malta, rand
that they were to be introduced into the
Neapolitan States, " to accomplish grave attempts
against public order." The letter therefore recom-
mends the director to be on the watch, and endea-
vour to seize these dangerous missiles.
A letter from Naples, in the Bilancien of Milan,
says—" The marriage of the Duke de Calabria,
hereditary prince, and the Princess Mary of 8a-
.3-aria, younger sister of the Empress of Austria, no
longer admits of doubt. On the occasion of it, the
King will, it is said, accord a complete amnesty to

A letter from Vienna of the ith says that Dadian
Pacha, accompanied by Boghos Bey and Varchaeh
Bey, had arrived in that city on a mission, the
nature of which was not known, and had had an
interview with Count do Buol. The letter adds
that the Paella is to proceed to Paris•

It is positively stated in a letter from Vienna, in
the Bourse Gazette of Berlin, that it is not true, as
has been asserted in some of the journals, that the
Porte has granted M. de Lesseps a concession for
cutting through the Isthmus of Suez, or that Eng-
land has abandoned her opposition to the project.

THE COLLIERS' STRlKE.—Several hundred col-
liers in the employ of Lord Ward have given notice of their
intention to demand on to-day (Saturday) week a return to
the rate of wages that they were receiving before the last
reduction, which is equal to an advance upon their present
wages of Is. per day. Ills lordship is understood to have
intimated that he will not give them the rise ; and that,
they persist in demanding it, he shall scaffold over his pits,
and not permit the men to return to work for some time to
come. Other colliers about Dudley have also given Dotice.
In all between 800 and 900 more men will be on strik3 in
South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire in another
week if Lord Ward's men should determine not to resume
work then unless their requirement is met. Already arrange-
ments have been made between these men and the others,
numbering, it is asserted, 6,090„ on strike in South Staf-
fordshire,for an aggregate meeting on Monday week, to,
determine upon the course to be taken.
A STAGE APOLOGY.—The following apology was
made from a stage in Sunderland--(neither the Theatre
Royal nor Lyceum) last week :—"Ladies and gentlemen,—
I hope you will excuse our performance, but our violinist
is in a state of beastly intoxication; the pianie is doing
his best, but 14 or 16 strings of the piano are hrehell, I "
