The arrests Of Lord Arthur John Hudson- and
Sir "Charies Miller" in Pttsbure, Pa. for swind
ling. was briefly noticed yesterday The pitt,

count of their 'doings" In that city:
-, Lord Arthur John Hudson and Sir Chas Miller
Ineir position did not carry them AWAY, and in
stead OF shorting 1t At the Monongahela they con
tented themselves with the more humble accom-
modstions to be procured at the Fulton House
Diamond. This moderation was charming. Tbay
were communicative too, and their admirers were
conhdentialty informed that they had $40 600 ster
ling deposited with Jones & Co, baukers.-
Eating, drinking, and riding were the order of th.
day. Money flowed like water; every body was
urged TO participate with them in the good thngs
OF this life and everybody accepted the invita-
tion.
Sir Charles owned sand bank In Missouri. and
such sand for glass making 'Damme, sir" said
Sir Charles, exhibiting goblet, did you ever see
such glass; my sand bank will make the fortune of
any mani" His admirers never did see such glass,
OF course and the glass merchants of the city gave
extensive orders for this magnificent sand, deter
mined to excel the world in the master of glass;
Then Sir Charles dealt in patents, and disposed
of right for setting saws to q druggist In this
Lord Arthur John was not engaged in sand or
patent rights; his views were more in the agricul-
tural line. He doubtless in the distance &

determined shrewdy to be in a condition to realise
the anticipated profit So he visited the well
known farm of Mr. Peter Parchment, Wilkins

on deposit, when the deed was made out. In the
meantime, Mr.. p. must give up his coal contracts
for the horses could not be used and Mr.. p did SO
at loss of about 81 600.
His Lordship and Sir Charles frequently visited
the farm A pig would please their fancy, and to
town porker would go; now fat turkey excited
his lOrdships DESIRE and to town it went; pair of
elegant blankets followed suit and any number OF
bottles of real old Irish whiskey were also sent to
the city. Things went on swimmingly.
My lord and Sir Charles also cultivated the &C

reproachfu sigh escaped his Lordship, and he said,
'it is q id shame for Hudson to wear 4
stocking like that!' This attracted the attention
of Mr. Mel. pair of shoes soon fitted the feet
of his Lordshp and hid from his mortified vision
the rent hose. What is the brass' said his Lord
ship running his hand into his pocket. Sir Charles
said, my lord. my lord, this will not do, charge
this to my account, Mr.. Mclaughlin" And it was
charged.
His lordship told his friend that Judge Mcclure
advised him to remove his deposits from Messrs.
Jones & Co., as they were not safe; he recommend
ed In their place the old Bank of Pittsburgh. But
his lordship was fearful the old Bank could not
receive j. at ALL so he bought on account at Burke
& Barnes an iron safe, which is now in his room
at the Fulton House, to hold at least his daily
spending money. The safe is worth $50.
On the whole these representatives OF England 8
nobility met with an exceedingly warm reception
Their acquaintances were only too proud to ac-
commodate them with small sums of money-hves
and tens, and they were not too proud to accept
such accommodations. They had no pride to talk
of For instance Lord Arthur John, instead OF
allying himself to some noble daughter Of a noble
and ancient house in his own land, plighted him
self to interesting young lady, the daugh
ter of his lordshps landlord of the Fulton House.

place last night

might choose two subjects-the Importance OF

ity with which free Americans can distinguish

the sequel will explain.
Yesterday Mr.. Perchments lawyer finished the
deeds. and Mr. P, documents in hand, waited upon
his lordship, for the check upon Messrs. Jones q
Co. for &l7 000 But his lordship was out OF funds,
and could not pay him. SO Mr.. Parchment waited
unou Messrs. Jones s. Co, and found they had
never had q cent of his noble lordship's money
In the SPACE of q short half hour, what change;

ment accordingly brought suit before the Mayor,
against Lord Arthur John for swudng, and the
warrants for his arrest were placed In the hands Of
the officers.
Unfortunately, bis lordship had hired buggy
from Mr. Jacob Gardner, to go to Brownstown, to
turn in time for the wedding. He did not return
and it is supposed he seized the opportunity to
reach some country railway depot and leave the
vicinity.
We sincerely sympathise with the bride and her
parents The guests were invited, the minlster
was in the parlor, the supper was laid-Mr Lou
elry was to act as his groomsman, and he was
there. The police officers were there also. to
watch the arrival of his ordship. But his lordship
