STRANGE ATTACH ON MADAME JULIE DE- MAR
ouKRrTTEs.-The Day Book Of last evening, In some
rather unpolite comments on Mrs. Forrest and her
society, contains q most violent attack upon the
character Of Madame Julie do Marguerittes, the
suthoress, who recently furnished 30 many well
written and piquant articles on "Ars and Artists,
which appeared in the columns Of the very same
journal that assails her.
When We were in London last summer, we made
Enquiry about this lady and were informed that she
n the eldest daughter Of Doctor Granville, distn-
euished physician in Piccadilly; that she was
highly educated on the Continent, and married
Shsrs 10 gentleman Of respectability and charao-
Ger, who ID living here With her and their two
young children. The sossip here, on which the at
tack h founded, springs from some affair which took
place last summer, at Lebanon Springs, in which
Mr.. G. G.. Foster and Mr.. Charles Z. Lester are
very curiously involved. The best defence and ex-
planation, all round, would be full statement Of
the whole affair, with the incidents and corespon-
Ssnee, from alpha 10 omega. The editor Of the Day
Book seems 10 h unnscesarily savage On the
occasion.

Who IS BRITISH MrvsER TO THE UNITED
STATES l-Some time ago. Sir Henry Bulwer was
the British Minister In this country, we had rea-
son to know, from the vas. number of speeches he
was continually pouring out, and the enormous
quantities Of blarney he manufactured for the
newspaper press. since his return to England, 1t
seems to be doubtful who is the British Minister
here. There is o Mr.. Champion at Washington,
who, the newspapers said, was leis in occupation
when Sir Henry left but We rather think that the
power Of the British embassy is divided among the
British Consuls all over the Union. IL seems that
the British Consul Mathews, Of South Carolina, is
at present the most efficient diplomatic representa-
tive Of Her Majesty and he is making himself as
busy, not In delivering speeches, bat in writing
letters, as ever Sir Henry Bulwer was.
