ScANDALUM MAGNATum.-Ihe Duke
OF Devonshire may bring his action ior
scan. mag. against our ingenious neigh
bors OF the Star; and if he does he will
no doubt recover swinging damages
The Star suggests the probability of Mr.
John Van Buren, marrying a daughter
OF the Duke of Devonshire; and as il is
well known that the Duke is an inveter-
ate bachelor, it follows that he is covert
ly charged with immortality in being
supposed 10 have a daughter.
But seriously we think it high time TO
stop utt.ring all this nonsense about
young Mr.. Van Buren-siving out tn at
his visit 10 England, and the attentions
he receives there, have any political
bearing. Mr.. John Van Buren, is Il
lawyer. residing in Albany. AS we re-
marked yesterday, ii was natural for him
TO desire TO be present at the coronation
Perfectly natural for his father to give
him letters of iniroduetion-and ought
to be gratifying to us that the letters
aud the son IT our chief magistrate are
received with such attention. If MIR.
Clay or Mr.. Webster were the presi-
dent, sou OF either Of those gentlemen
would be equally well received-and
we certainly should have no reason TO
feel particularly we'll pleased il son of
the President, introduced b, letters from
his iatheI-lrom the chief magistrate of
the United States-were neglected, or
received with any thing less than mar
ked attention.
We happen to know, moreover, that
sentiments OF warm personal regard are
entertained for Mr.. Van Buren-,he
PresiLent-by some Of the first men in
England, such as the Duke of yelling
ton. the Duke ofSussex, Sir Robert Peel
and others. Other gentlemen visiting
England with letters from Mr.. Van Blu
rem to these personages, have met with
very great attention from them-and we
ought to know these things with pleas
ure, inasmuch as they show that our
country Is honored by those whose re-
spect is worth possessing.
AS for MIR. John Van Buren,, we do
not believe that his visit TO England
was suggested by his father, or even
known TO him until after 1t was resol-
we'd on by the young gentleman himself.
We knew that he was going, long before
the subject was ever mentioned in the
papers; and we were informed bv one
OF his friends, that his visit was princi.
pa!ly on business. We think that he
was very wise in so arranging his bust
ness as to make his visit at the time OF
the coronation.-New York Spectator.

Newspaper Profits .-Gen. Duff Green
late Of the United States Telegraph, has
published a statement Of the amount due
TO him from delinquent subscribers in
the States aud Territories Of the Union
The SUN total is 6hy-five thousand six
hundred dollars. of which two thousand
and eighty seven dollars are due from the
State Of n. York. This is an enormous
amout OF arrearges, but the fact is, il is
only to be expected from the manner in
which the business of printing newspa-
pers is carried on in this country. The
system of unlimited credit in all drec>
tons TO subscribers, leaving it in reality
almost entirely TO their Integrity and
sense Of justice, whether any thing is
paid, is sure 10 be attended with a heavy
and unavoidable loss. The proprietoTs
OF newspaper establishments, out of the
large cities, will never realize their Just
profits, until the custom of exacting pay

rigidIy enforced.
