MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

( From the Anglo-American Times)
Frank Leslie is evidently of the opinion that a
mild thing in writing constitutes a libel while a strong
thing in illustration does not. Some time ago he gave a
picture of Chief Justice Chase's dinner, at which the con-
spirators were assembled who were to defeat the ends of
justice, and to carry the President harmless through Im-
peachment. His Excellency Reverdy Johnson was there
well sketched, together with the " doubtful" Senators, at
that time termed recreants, though no such dinner bad
been given. The Boston Post announced Mr. Leslie's
arrival at Richfield Springs with a lady and two fast
horses, for which be brought a suit for libel against the
paper.
Among the passengers who arrived at Southamp-
ton by the Germania last Sunday are C. de Varigny and
family, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hawaiian Islands ;
Madame C. Bourgoing, Hawaiian Islands ; A. O. Aldis,
United States Consul at Nice ; and Major John Wilkinson,
Royal British Army, Bermuda.
General and Mrs. M,Clellan left Liverpool last
Saturday in the Cunard Company's steamer Cuba for New
York, after a residence of two years in Europe.
Judge Boynton, of the United States District
Court for Florida, has denied an application for a writ of
hp.beas corpus in the case of Dr. Mudd, imprisoned in the
D►y Tortugas on the charge of being implicated in the
assassination of President Lincoln.
Enoch Train, a prominent merchant of Boston,
died Sept. 8, in Saugus. He was at the head of the house
which established the lino of packet ships between that
port and Liverpool, and was always noted for his liberality
in advancing.commercial enterprise.

for the news of his death any time. Ms age—nearly 61
—and his mode of life am unfavourable to his recovery.

He has many personal and political friends to mourn his
loss, but as a national event his death would occasion no

consequence."
