ROMANTIC AND EXTRAORDINARY CAsE.-At adj
ourned inquest, held before Mr.. Wakley, on Mon
day morning, on the body of musical composer,
the following romantic particulars were elicited:-
So far as the sudden death of the alleged King of
France requires mention, it appeared in evidence
that the unfortunate gentleman, who was aged IA,
was found dead in a cab, and the jury found that
the death was caused by a fainting fit and a con-
gestion of blood in the heart. The coroners atten-
ton had been drawn by a singular requirement on
the part of the sons of the deceased, minute GER
tifcate from several eminent medical men to the
marks on the body. This led to the following ro-
mantle and important statement ON the part of
young gentleman, who now claims the throne of
France; and it may be here observed that Mr..
Wakley, and others not likely to be deceived, enter
tain a confident opinion that the deceased was
Louis Charles de Bourbon, son of Louis the Six
teenth. To establish the identity of the deceased
the new claimant to the throne of France, the
lineaments of whom would bear out a lineage of
the Bourbons, swore that his father whilst an in
fant, was brought over to England in the charge
of a maid of honor to the chd's mother, Marie
Antoinette The troubles of the French revolu-
ton rendered this speedy removal of the Dauphin
OF France necessary for its safety, and previous to
the young Dauphin's sudden removal, minute
medical inspection of the child taken by the
medical authorities and court attendants of Marie
Antoinette, the certificates of whom are now
fully preserved in the French archives The whole
of these marks found to be on the body of the
deceased, as certified to by three eminent medical
men. The maid of honor who brought the Dauphin
over to this country aterwai DIS married a gentle
man OF the name of Moves, and the child was
brought up in that name. For some English state
reasons, the Dauphin kept in ignorance of his
royal birth; and although the most distinguished
nobemen in France paid the deceased every homage,
it was but upon the death of the supposed mother he
first learnt the secret that Louis Philippe, the de-
thrOned, and others, had been usurpers. Upon the
death of Madame Moves, the deceased lost his for
tune in some of the stock exchange transactions,
and having peculiar taste for music, NJ. Moves
and his two sons devoted themselves to the art in
question.-London Star.
INTERESTING DECIsIoN-The Portland (Me.) Ar
aus contains the decision of Judge Ware, of the
brig Cuba, whose freight claimed en- empty
casks delivered. The charter was in the common
form, out to Cuba and home, and to pay 1898 50 =
per bogshead of gallons gross gauge of the casks
delivered" In gale homeward- bound, the crew,
under orders, stove ifty-six hogsheads by cutting
the hoops alone, and knocking in one head but the
empty casks We're saved and brought home, on
which freight was claimed There were also twen-
ty-six casks under deck, empty. The Judge ruled
that freight must be paid on the twenty-six empty
casks under deck the loss of their contents having
been occasioned by the elements. He also decided
that the charter party being for ''casks delivered,
that although these fity-six casks could not be
gagged with perfect accuracy they could be nearly
so, and sufficiently to entitle the master to his
! freight under this contract" This decision re-
verses the practice that has prevailed among mer-
chants in relation to payment of freight on deck
