nearly the last of the issues on which the
great Wing party of former days took It's

10 these Developments is, that Massachu-

BENNETT AID HIS SUIrs.-The suits insti-
tuted by Mr. Bennett, of the New York Her
aid, are first against the Editors of the Tri-
bhne. for publishing a mass of libellous mat
ter charging, among other things, that he ex-
torted $4,000 from some unknown person
who was in house of i'll fame in New York,
the night of q celebrated murder committed
in that house, and next against James and
Erastus Brooks, for copying the most often

| The END OF Mr.. SoULEs MIssIoN.-Ac-
| cording to a Madrid letter writer an attempt
made by Mr.. Soule to depart from Ma
drid with some eclat proved decided failure.
The correspondent says that the American
Minister caused it to be privately minated
that he should expect, before leaving, an au-
| dience from the Ministerial Council, but was
| informed through the same channel that
| though the Minister of Foreign Relations
would not stand upon his amour prone in
the matter, such request would almost be q
personal insult to that Minister, and would
be one unknown to diplomatic usage. So Mr.
Soule did not deem it expedient to make that
request. The correspondent adds that he
subsequently had an interview with the Min
lister OF Foreign Relations, in which he was
treated with formal politeness, but nothing
