The Dignity of n Dutch Minister.

The correspondence between the Dutch and
United States Governments OH the subject OF
Mr.. Dubois refusal to give evidence in the case
of the homicide of the waiter Heating, at Wash
ington, has been published. The Dutch Co
vernment, through Mr.. Van Hall, gave its ulti-
matum as follows:
"Availing himself of a prerogative generally
conceded to the members of the diplomatic body,
and recognized also by the laws of the Republic
as adverted to by Mr.. Marcy in his above-mcn-
toned dispatch, Mr.. Dubois refused to appear
before court of justice; but, being desirous to
at once reconcile that prerogative with the re-
quirements of justice, he suggested middle
course of action, and proposed to give his de-
claration under oath, should he be authorized
to that effect by the government of the Neither
lands.
"After taking the kings orders on the sub
ject did not hesitate TO give such authority
to Mr.. Dubois, approving at the same time,
and formally, the line of conduct which he pur-
sued on that occasion, convinced as was that,
in reality, the difficulties Of a criminal suit to
be carried on in America as q common witness,
could not comport with the dignity of the char
acter of minister of the king residing at the
seat of government of the republic nor yet
could 1t do so with the duties of his office.
This of course was tantamount to refusing
to testify; and SO it was viewed by our govern
ment.

A small Paris journal, called Les Contemporaries
has recently published most strange account
signed "Henri Page" of an aerostatic excur
sion, which the article declares has solved the
long-canvasscd problem Of directing balloons
The persons who are stated to have made the
excursion are the Count de Pleuvier, NJ. Ga
varni. NJ. Migeon, Mr.. Falconer, an English
apparatus used is stated to have cost not less
than 100000 francs, the most of which was fur
nished by Count de Pleuvier. The machine is
represented as consisting of two balloons united
together, of spherical form, able TO contain
each l6O cubes hydrogen gas. The directing
power is a modified screw communicating with
the car, and rudder, made principally from
whalebone, to change the direction when re-
qured. NJ. Gavarni, the inventor, it is declared
can obtain the upward movement of the balloon
without ballast, which system soon exhausts the
resources of the very best constructed balloon.
and becomes an invincibc obstacle to long ex-
cursions in the air. The loss of hydrogen is
instantaneously repaired by chemical proceed
ing of which NJ Migeon is stated to possess the
secret, and by little apparatus Of communica-
ton also invented by NJ Gavarni. The descent
is effected, hitherto, by letting the gas escape
The departure of the aeronauts on the occa-
sion referred to took place on the 18th of jan

hospitality. The inhabitants wanted to carry
us in triumph, but we declined the honor; and
as soon as we could, went to take some repose,
leaving our aerostatic apparatus under the
guardianship of file of Zouaves. Marshal
Random deigned to congratulate us, and pressed
the hand of NJ. Gavarni with great warmth. We
remained on the African soil only thirty hours
and left at noon the day after our arrival, in
sight of an immense multitude who had assem-
bled to see us ascend from the Mole. Our re-

British FiIlIbusterism--The Occupation OF
Rushire.

The NJ y Tribune, remarking upon the sell
zure of the port of Bushire, in the Persian Gull,
by the British says, there has been In one or
two quarters q sort of denial on the part OF the
English that they intended to retain Bushire as
part of the Queens dominons. We can only
say that if they do not, it will be startling
departure from the settled rule of British policy
England has never been known to relinquish
willingly, her grasp of any territory that was
or ever might be worth keeping, when the for
time of war had placed il within her reach. Nor
is Bushire by any means windfall to be de-
spised. Though it has fallen far from the high
estate which belonged to it in the days of Chal-
dean and Babylonish magni6cence, it is still
quite large seaport for the part of the world
in which it stands, and the outlet of fair agri-
cultural and industrial region. The population
may number 10000. The town is poor; but not
more so than all Persian towns, including the
capital: and its Notifications are by no means
as dilapidated as those of the larger Persian cit
les. 1t exports, mostly to British India. the
usual Persian products, silk, wool, shawls, car
pets, dried fruits, precious stones, drugs, and
horses; and it consumes large quantity of Bri-
tish cottons and hardware, besides sugar and
rice from Madras and Calcutta. 1t is moreover
the entrepot for large share of the Mocha coffee
trade. Were the harbor deepened, so that large
merchant vessels could sail to the wharvcs, and
q stable government and q fair tariff establish
cd, no doubt Bushire would become o place of
great trade. 1t is not unhealthy, though the
water is Of poor quality.
We repeat, if the English having laid their
hands on this place, hosted the Union Jack on
the wall, and declared 1t free port, freely and
pleasantly make it present to its own master,
the Shah, and retire with bag and baggage, they
will open new page in the history of John
Bull.
For our part, we see no reason why we should
concern ourselves about the matter. AS for
the Shah of Persia, we have no motive either to
fight his battles, or sympathise in his distress;
he is an odious tyrant, at the head of ono of the
most despotic, corrupt, imbecile, and miserable
governments in the world Unquestonably, so
far as Bushire is concerned, the paternal tyran-
ny of the East India Company, and the enlight.
ened despotism of British officials would be q
vast Improvement on the cflete, mongrel, semi.
Persian, semi-Arab institutions under which il
has vcgetated hitherto. And as no part of the
world can thrive except on the Japanese system
without beueftting the whole, we ought per.
haps to feel glad that our British cousins have
pocketed their conscience. and gone to work to
| ilibustcr Bushire into civilization and CONNER
cial prosperity.

HUNTING TURKEYS BY STEAM.-The Memphis
Bulletin is resposble for the following:
One of the most novel uses of railroads that
has come to our knowledge, was demonstrated
last night by the down train of the Memphis
and Charleston company. When a little beyond
the Mississippi junction it Numbered through
flock of wild turkeys, killing two fine Ones
One of them struck the headlight, smashing the
glass; putting out the light and getting complete
ly "bagged" in the lamp, from whence he was
taken by the engineer in charge of the locomo-
tive. II is yet an undecided question, which
was most taken by surprise-the engineer, in
having his light put out, "all Of sudden" or
the turkey. in finding his fight thus suddenly
cut short. 1t is clear, however, that the engin-
Ger got the beet of the bargain.

Curious Case-The spirituolists at Fault.

Coroner Madden was called out to Nassau yes
tcrday to hold an inquest on the body of boy
named Levi Phillips. the son of Conrad Phillips,
of that town, whose death occurred by hanging
five years and four months ago. The boy at the
time of his death, was found hanging in his fa-
theirs barn. The body, 1t seems, was buried
without any inquest being held thereon, and the
cause that led to his sudden death (f there was
any cause) was never satisfactorily explained.
Recently, it seems at q circle of spiritualists,
the spirit of the boy Phillips was called up,
through medium, ian old NAM and among
other questions asked was one inquiring into
the cause of his death. The spirit answered that
he had been murdered by nail driven into his head!
This answer was Immediately made public, and
the excitement soon became intense-so much
SO that the principal citizens of the town were
compelled to call for o CorOner's investigation
into the cause of the boys death. The District
Attorneys Assistant, Mr.. j. NJ Landon accom-
panied the fCoroner to assist in making the in
vestigation. On arriving at the place where
the body was buried, several hundred people
were found congregated, seemingly eager to OBJ
serve the progress Of the inquest. Many who
were believers in spiritualsm seemed impressed
with the idea that the result would be as the
medium predicted, while many non-believers
expressed themselves ready to join the "circe,'
if the prophecy should be found correct. Cor
cipal citizens. The body was exhumed and an
examination made by Dr. Geo. W. Strait, of that
town. No marks of any injury having been re-
ceived by young Phillips on the head or any
other part of the body were discovered. The
skull scds found perfect in erery part SO that it was
plain the death had not occurred as stated by
The medium" Several witnesses were exam
ined, without elciting any testimony of mate
rial Importance. 1t was ascertained that the
boy had been to circus short time previous
to his death; that husking party was to take
place at the barn on the very night of his death,
and it is generally supposed that he had been
preparing ropes and was practising some feats
he had witnessed, in order to surprise the COM
pany that would be present that night, when he
accidentally committed suicide. This is the on
ly conclusion that could be arrived at by those
who heard the testimony. The Jury according
ly brought in a verdict that the deceased came
to his death by being hung in the barn, and that
he alone was the cause of his untimely end.-
