A ROMANTIC LAW CASE.

The courts of law will in all probability be occupied
early in the ensuing session with one of those remarkable
cases which so often occur in romances, and so seldom in
real life. It appears that about a hundred and twenty
years ago a large estate close to one of the most important
of English manufacturing towns was in the possession of
the great grandfather of the parties to the present litiga-
tion. Since that time the land has been built upon to a
great extent, and now forms the most wealthy suburb of
the town in question. At the death of the owner, his eldest
son, finding that there was no will, naturally claimed the
estate. The children of a second marriage, however, who
had never lived on good terms with their half brother,
protested against his title on the ground that his parents
had never married, and that he was consequently illegi-
timate. It seemed at first that there was no ground for
this statement. The parents had always been received in
society, and no one had ever heard of any scandal in con-
nection with them. On making inquiry it was, however,
found impossible to discover any trace of the marriage,
and the eldest son was forced to submit and to leave the
home he had always considered his own, without a
shilling. lie went into town and embarked in trade,
apparently without much success, for his grandson
is at the present time a shoemaker in a back
street, and in a very small way of business. The
tradition of the lost estate has, however, always been
preserved, and some time since this descendant of the elder
son recommenced the search for proof of the marriage in
question. After much trouble he succeeded in getting at
the copies of the registers which are preserved in the
Chancery of Chester, and there, in the index, he discovered,
somewhat earlier than was expected, the names of the
original possessor of the estate and his first wife. There
was, however, no such entry in the body of the book. At
last, however, on going through it for the last time it was
discovered that two leaves had been fastened together, and
on their being separated a copy of the entry of the marriage
from the books of a Manchester church was duly found.
On referring back to the church itself the book was pro-
duced, but the entry was not there. Further examina-
tion shewed, however, that this book had also been
tampered with, but in a different way—a leaf had been
cut out with scissors, and the marks were even then
distinctly visible. On these facts the action will be
brought, and when it is remembered that the present
family have been in possession for nearly a century, and
that they are highly respected, and their members married
amongst the wealthiest people in the county, it may
readily be imagined that the matter is creating a good deal
of interest. The value of the property at stake is between
one and two hundred thousand pounds.

A man at Bradford, suprosed to be insane, has cut
his own and his wife's throats. Ho has been apprehended,
and removed to the hospital.

At the Guildhall, yesterday, Augustus Byrne
was placed at the bar, on remand, before Alderman Hale,
charged with being in possession of a number of gun barrels,
sword bayonets, and other arms, snpposcd to be for an un-
lawful purpose. Evidence having been given in support of
the charge, he was again remanded.

Mr. CHILDERS thinks we have come to a very
critical time in the hi.story of the country, and that
it is very necessary.to keep our heads cool. This
may be true, but something more is required from
legislators and statesmen than that they should
keep their heads cool, for it is equally, if not more,
important that they should be " clear," and their
views made comprehensible. Putting party con-
siderations aside, it will never answer to lay down
particular rules for general emergencies ; and if we
are to take the explanations given in this speech
as illustrative of Mr. GLADSTONE'S policy, it must
be said, without any disrespect, that the country
has been well quit of his services for the
last two years. It appears that whatever
necessary augmentation be made in the
Estimates, he would have made a corresponding
decrease necessary or not, we may presume, as the
case may be. In short, the right hon. gentleman's
far-famed and world-wida financial policy is so
very much like the bed of PROCRUSTES, and things
must be made to fit it, for it cannot condescend to
be elastic as the occasion requires. Suppose he
had staid in office, and made the necessary im-
provements in the army any navy, it is curious to
imagine what measures he might have considered it
his duty to effect to meet the corresponding addi-
tions. It may be very ingenious to prop up a re-
putation by such means, but the representatives of
the interests that may suffer thereby will hardly
designate it as statesmanlike, and as carrying out a
comprehensive and national policy. If we are
forced into mixing with a European war,
and have to defend some distant part of our
possessions, and nothing is ready, it will be
but a poor consolation that the balance sheets of the
Exchequer have been most neatly arranged, and
that no outlay has appeared that has not been met
by a corresponding reduction. Mr. CHILDERS re-
members to forget that the late Government re-
signed office leaving affairs in a very peculiar, not
to say precarious, state, and that their successors
must either have supplied the deficiencies or left the
defences of the countryiin a most melancholy condi-
tion. It is true that they might have declined to
undertake the task at all, and professed their ina-
bility, and perhaps this was their end after all ;
and it is useless to go farther to find out in what way
they offended so as to draw down upon them such
overwhelming censure, and to subject their deeds to
such condemnatory criticism.

In connection with the subject of political
shortcomings, it is interesting to glance at
the " INL:w Political Catechism " that has been
placarded at Whitby, and which offers a very good
comparison of the doings and achievements of the
last ten years or thereabouts. The Liberals, it is
shown, got us into a war with China, built ships
and did not man them, built forts and put no guns
or men in them, passed a grinding and iniquitous
Poor-law, led Denmark into war and then forsook
her, caused the Abyssinian war, had a majority in
the house of Commons and did not pass a Reform
Bill. Whereas the other side of the shield shows
that the Conservatives passed a comprehensive
Reform Bill, saved Europe from a war on the Lux-
emburg question, demanded and obtained from Spain
an apology for insult to England, grappled with the
Alabama claim,, and prevented a war with America,
and vindicated Engli.3ll honour and rescued English-
men from slavery in Abyssinia. W ho factiously op-
pos.d the Reform Bill whicli has given every ratepayer
a vote ?" it is asked, in conclusion, and the answer is
—" The GLADs-roxEs, father and son." Granting
that this criticism is couleur de rose in one part,
and has the brown shade cast ov(r th 3 other—that
the compiler has been very kind to the virtues of
the Conservatives, and a little blind to their faults,
and vice versa as regards the Liberals,' still a good
deal of truth remains which electors may mark
and learn with profit. One striking proof of merit

The members of the committee appointed by
Congress to report on the expediency of renewing
the Reciprocity Treaty with Canada returne I yes-
terday from a visit to Nova Scotia. ➢lr. BUTLER
is one of these members, and this fact, coupled with
the selection of Nova Scotia for their visit, does
not indicate a very favourable inclination towards
the renewal of the Treaty. So pervzrse and
opinionated are the Radicals who dominate in Con-
gress that neither the remonstrances of the com-
mercial interest, nor the examination of facts and
figures, will be likely to affect their decision. It is
quite possible that the mere fact of the PRESIDENT
and the Cabinet inclining in favour of the renewal
may predispose them to decide against it. At the
time when the notice of termination was given to
Canada there was much angry feeling in the
States against England, and Canada naturally
was considered as, representing English in-
terests. It was a favourite project with
the soldiers of fortune whom the war had left with-
out an occupation or source of profit to arrange au
expedition against Canada. Happily the common
sense of the country never allowed this scheme to
get further than talk, and the sentiments of the
people have altogether changed. No one
now dreams of a war with England.
Why, then, should the States on either side
of the St. Lawrence be deprived of the advantages
of a free commercial interchange?

From Ottawa we learn that the trial of WHELAN
for the murder of Mr. DARCY M'GEE commenced
on the 7th, and strong circumstantial evidence of
his guilt had been brought forward. The Fenians
were making great efforts to save him, several
head centres having arrived in Ottawa from the
States with funds to assist his defence, and some
members of the fraternity, we may presume, re-
sorted to stronger measures, since the witnesses
against him received threatening letters. The At-
lantic Cable has since the departure of this news
announced to us WuELAN's conviction and con-
demnation, so that fortunately those unworthy
attempts to frustrate the course of justice have
proved ineffectual.

The festivities attending the majority of the
Marquis of BUTE have been of such unusual splen-
dour that they have attracted a goad deal of atten-
tion. The young heir succeeds to such enormous
wealth, and will exercise from his position so ex-
tended an influence, that his future course is one
of deep interest to thousands of persons. In Scot-
land he owns vast hereditary estates which
connect him closely with the agricultural
interest. In Rothcsay, too, he claims an intimate
alliance with the manufacturers of the town, while
in:Wales his father well-nigh created the now impor-
tant seaport of Cardiff. The vast mineral wealth of
the Valley of the Taff needed an outlet, which the
energy and enterprise of the late Marquis
gave it by the cmstruction of the docks
which bear his ham:- This great work was
not uuderiaken without a corresponding outlay,
and Lord Bum embarked his whole fortune in the
enterprise. Its success has been ample, and Cardiff,
which owes its prosperity to his efforts, has put on
its gayest attire to do honour to the birthday of his
son. The late Marquis's useful public career was
prematurely closed, but during the long minority of
his son his trustees have continued the works with
spirit and prudence, so that they are able to con-
gratulate the young heir on his accession to a

Low barometrical pressures continue in S.W. districts, where a
diminution of more than a tenth of an inch has occurred since
yesterday. The least pressures reported are at Penzance and Brest:
the readings there are more than seven-tenths of an inch less than at
Nairn. Temperature is steady. On the Irish coast a strong north-
easterly wind blew yesterday, and in the English Channel the wind
was south-easterly, which still prevails. On the west coast of France
a south-westerly gale is reported. Much rain has fallen : especially
at Plymouth and Yarmcuth. Lightning is reported from our S.
coast. The weather is cloudy, and rain is continuing on the W. coast
of France. The sea is highs at Penzance and Shields. Warnings

If the Times' reputation as the barometer of politics
holds good with respect to Europe, we are on the eve of a
war. In a very bellicose article, the Times concludes that
"for some weeks past the two dark thunder-clouds of the
political atmosphere have been drawing steadily together,
until it seems as if the most sanguine could now hardly
hope that an explosion will be averted. France
on one side and Prussia on the other are either
anticipating war or despairing of peace." It
rests with France to be the aggressor, but at the same
time she may plead some temptations to aggression. It
is not to be denied that the aggrandisement of Prussia by
the late war does affect the position of France in the
political system of Europe. This new situation is none
the more acceptable because Italy has become similarly
consolidated, and may possibly be Prussia's ally. "Asuccess-
ful campaign against Prussia might detach Southern from
Northern Germany, and leave one-half of the German
nation to be still played off and balanced against the
other." This is not a very explicit cause for immediate
hostilities, but other journals undertake to supply more
tangible grounds. The Spectator, whilst generally deciding
against the prospect of war, thinks that the entry of
Baden into the North German Confederation would
probably determine the French Emperor to a campaign.
The Independance Beige endeavours to supplement this
speculation by publishing a report that the annexation of
the Grand Duchy has been a matter of fact for some
weeks past, and that the treaty will soon be published.
It is even added that the French Government has been
aware of the fact, but that it resolved to consider it for
the present a pme'y German question, not being yet pre-
pared to engage in war. This report is by no means new.
Some days ago we republished a similar statement from a
German authority. It was then stated that Ba‘len was
fully prepared for admission to the North German Con-
federation, but that Count Bismarck opposed the imme-
diate execution of the project through fear of a collision
with France. It is quite possible that the annexation is
an accomplished fact ; but it is hardly likely that France
is about to be defied by the publication of the treaty.
The annexation of Baden would be a direct violation of
the treaty of Prague ; and if the Emperor Napoleon did
not go to war on that ground, it is certain that he would
never find a more plausible pretext. It is just possible
that this Baden question may lead to a rupture
but at present our information as to the true relations
between Prussia and the Grand Duchy is too vague to
admit of a definite conclusion. It does not appear Vial
t;;ere is anything in_ Oese reports to put an end to the
C:;l4tit4 1111WhintY..

TILE BALLOT.--Sir Massey Lopes having, in a
recent speech, asserted that "Lord Amberley, at Lends,
changed his opinion on the ballot in twenty-four hours,"
his lordship, in a letter to a gentleman in Devonshire, says
—"1 gave no pledge upon the question of the ballot when
I contested Leeds, or when I was returned for Nottingham,
as I was desirous, before committing myself, of giving the
subject a longer consideration. What I have heard since
then of the conduct of landlords towards th2ir tenants
has been amply sufficient to convince me that the ballot
indispenably necessary
is in order to secure freedom of
election."

rrltE SCOTCH MlNEns.—An open air meeting of
miners belonging to the Lanarkshiro district was hold on
Thursday at Uddingston, which is distant about seven
miles from Glasgow. At this meeting it was unanimously
resolved to make a demand for an advanco of wages to the
extent of 6d. per day. In May last the employers granted
an advance of 6d. per day.
We are authorised to state that there is no foun-
dation whatever for the rumour that the Attorney-General,
" finding his case hopeless" at Exeter, will not go to the
poll.—Law Times.
