The NeW Rlirror-No. 8.

We have once or twice before this called
the attention of our readers to this highly
finished periodical. The present number
exceeds, if possible, in beauty and sterling
merit any of its predecessors. The poem Of
The Paint King" is beautifully written and
fanciful in the extreme; but, tanciful as the
poem is, the etched illustration Of Chapman
is much more so. In our opinion nothing Of
the kind could have been better conceived
or more happily executed. The designs and
etchings Of Chapman are Of themselves worth
the price Of the Mirror. Those Of our reed
ers who are fond Of the writings Of Willis
and of Morris land who is MOI y should i'm.
IlnediatsIy become subscribers to this excel
lent weekly publication. It's Prospectus will

This is only So years ago, and now the an.

In the year 1910, Liverpool imported the
vast quantity of a million and half Of bales
ofcotion, valued at Nv elve millions of pounds
sterling, while London imported scarcely
one-flIeenth part Of that quantity. In the
statistical account of the number of vessels

The SoAER's CAsE.-Judge Belts, of the
United States Circuit Court, has decided that
the court had no Jurisdiction in the Somers
case; that Court Martial is the only legal
tribunal before which Mckenzie can be tried
We extract the following points, from the
New York American:
First, Judge Beus instructed the grand Jury
that the act Of Congress of 1900, establishing
rules and regulations OF the government OF
the navy, a0ns constitutional, and that not
withstanding the effect Of this decision was
10 give to courts martial the excIusiUe iulis-
diction in the case enumerated; and,
Secondly, in reply to the question OF the
grand jury, wether they had authority 10 in
quire into the transactions on board of the
Somers, he instructed them disticntlv that
they had no authority.
When this last decision was announced,
there was general applause in the court.
The court then added, that his right W as
only to advise the grand jury MOTTO conTole
them; and if they choee to pursue the inqui-
ry, they were at liberty so TO do, and the
court would receive the doings with all the
respect due to them.
No grand jury, Of course, would venture,
in the Ease offs decided opinion, TO NEEDLE
with the case.
After the charge the grand jury retired TO
their room, and at two O'Clock returned into
court with the complaints against Messers
Mckenzie and Gansevoort, having endorsed
upon them, DISMISSED for want OF iurisdic-
lion. And thus we trust viii end the har-
assing persecution ofthese officers in the civil
courts, when one of them is at present on
trial for his life before a responsible, INTEL.
igent and honorable tribunal

A GoDsEND A few evenings since, as
we learn from the Hartford Courant, as Mr..

were preparing TO retire, they we're startled
by the crying of child in their bedroom,
and on examination they found a female IN
FAINT, about three months old, on their bed,
together with bandbox OF clothes. As MIR.
Sheldon has no children, and is independent
of the world, except in this matter, he will
no doubt consider it valuable gift, and il
could not have fallen into better hands.
