BLACK MAILING IN LorDoN.-The London
courts have recently had before them singular
ease of attempted extorton of money from wealthy
persons, through fear of exposing their private
vices A man, named Harrison, who had been
convicted and served out bis time for procuring
houses of LII fame In London, after he had obtain
cd his liberty, sent bills for wine to various noble-
men, frequenters of the house where he had pre-
viously been employed. Some of these were sen,
to persons who had never been in the house-as
the Duke of Cambridge; others to persons who
made Il rule to "pay as you go"-as the Marquis
of Bath. The fear Of ex posure did BOT, however
produce Its effect upon these persons. Relying
upon their rank, probably. as much as upon theit
virtue, they resisted the claims and suffered suits
to be brought, in which the conspiracy to extorl
money Was made manifest The consequence
was, that Harrison was turned out of court with
dsrision, and will probably be brought back under
