An ESeLisH ScANDAL.-Disgracef.,l as were
the revelations made in the Sickles case of n
certain kind OF life in this country, they have
been thrown ints the shade By d disgusting
story just brought before the London public.
Hardly year ago, Mr.. William Heryey. n
grandson Of the late and a nephew OF the pre-
sent Marquis Of Bristol, having for some time
resided in this country as an atfaehe Of the
English Legation at Washington, went home
to Great Britain. and married there a person
by the name of Fleming, notorious rs a wo-
man Of |. bandoned character.
sister of Miss Fleming of like reputation
with herself had previously married the Earl
Of Stamford and Warrington. the most disso-
lutte OF sporting peers, and Miss Fleming had
sustained nnquestionable relations with the
young Lord Ribblesdale, a step-son of Lord
John Russell, and lion last year, of the New
port and Saratoga season. Lord Ribblesdale
on breaking OIL his connections with this per-
son, hao settled upon her an annuity of f6Oe
per annum, and this portion she brought to
Mr.. VIM. Heryey,
But with her dover, whether of disbonor or
OF shame, Mrs. Heryey seems to have been far
from satisfied. Her intimacy with Lord Rib
blesdaie was renewed after the return of that
noblenan from America, and has now been
made the ground of an action of divorce by
Mr. Heryey, in which heavy damages have
been awarded against Lord RibblesdaIe.-NY

THE REvESGEs OF NAroLEoN III-An edi-
torial signed &C." and we suppose from Caleb
Gushing, in the Boston Traveller, concludes
Napoleon, by the actual aid of Great Bri-
tain, has balanced the Russian success of Mos
cow by the reduction of Sehastopol. He has,
with the passive countenanee of Great Britain,
balanced the Austrian occupation of Paris by
the victory of Solferino. The debt of Prussia
remains to be paid Off; but, above all, that to
Great Britain. Trafalgar and Waterloo are
memories of rage and shame in the hearts of
all Frenchmen, and especially OF all Bona
parties. And, if in this respect, the turn OF
Great Britain is to come, she will only have
herself to thank, for the present powerful and
proud position of Louis Napoleon is her work
quite as mHch as that of his own genius
Certain we may be, that of this great drama OF
the Second Empire, the fourth and fifth and
greatest of its acts are yet to come"
TIE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE IN Texas
The re-opening of the African slave trade
does not seem to have any popularity even in
Texas. The Henderson (Tex.) Southern Bea
con, the editor of which is candidate forths
Legislature, says:
Any reflective man must know that, under
present circumstances, repeal of the law,
prohibiting the African slave trade is impos
slbie; the measure would be defeated by n
least four-fifths majority in the Southern
States, to say nothing of the Northern vote

measure lngrafted upon the platform to b.
