JUDGE MAsoN-The Geographic annouueement
in our paper OF Saturday, that Judge Mason had
been paralysed and dangerously i'll in Paris
when the steamer sailed, very much distressed his
many friends n this city. We see that it came
from the Office OF the New York Evening Post,
whose editor was informed by private letter, that
the Judge was struck with paralysis on the morn
ine of the 27th of September and was quite ''un'
well" when the steamer left. Other accounts
state that the night of the Goth he was paraysed
in the, right arm and side.
P.&.-The New York Tribune of Saturday states
that he very latest advices from Paris, reported
the cath off udge Mason, from the attack of para
iysis. This is no doubt mistake based on the ex-
pect, d consequences OF the attack. The Wa shing-
