| SHIPMENTS FOR TENNESSEE.
Under this heading we find the following de-
spatch IN most of our New York exchanges:
SAVANNAH, March At has been decided here
that all goods shipped via this port for Tennessee
must pay duties here, as Tennessee is not one of
the Southern C0nfederacy usless the goods were
purchased before February 49, and loaded in the
vessel before March IA.
We are authorized by our Collector John Ros
ton, Esq, to correct this statement. Duties will
not be required on goods passing through this
port, aud destined for States not belonging to the
Confederate States Unless instructions to the con-
trary shall be received, the only obligation that
Will be required is, that such goods will, in good
ialth pass to their destination, and not be stopped
IN me Confederate States. Will our New York
exchanges publish this correction in Justice to the
lines OF steamships and railroads leading through
Savannah and other Southern ports?-Sqrannah

UNDUE INFLUENCE BY A CoNFEss0R.-An account
was given some time ago of an action having been
brought before the Civil Tribunal in Paris bv the
heirs of an old lady named Verdelot, who died in
lo5S, to have declared null and void will by
wnlch she lett nearly the whole of her fortune ex
ceeding O0,O0O T., chiefly in railway shares and |
bonds, to certain Able Bernardo but their suit
was rejected They appealed to the Imperial Court
against TINS decision, on the ground that the priest
had exercised undue influence the old lady 10
induce her to make the will. They showed that he
became acquainted with her in 1S4S (at which time
ne was attached to the church of St. Roche, but
from which he was afterwards dismissed, J in con
sequence OF her having employed him to say mass
es TOR the repose of the soul Of her husband, who
had died just before; that be afterwards became
very intimate with her, and was her confessor |
that at length he went to live in the same house |
that she did, and continued to do so for MANY wears
until she died. that he kept her relatives and friends
from her, and would not even allow them to see |
her In her last Illness &c. The court, after exam
lining into the facts adduced, came to the conclu-
sion that the Able Bernard had abusively exer-
cised the influence which confessor and friend
he had gained over the old lady to cause her to
make the will, and accordingly declared it null and
! void.
PARTISAN EXTRAvAGANCE.-The general extrava.
gance just now INDUCED in at Paris is thus pic
tured by the correspondent Of the London Revie7
"The other night at ball supper, which was
served massive silver gilt dishes and Sevres |
China, heard n say to the lady on his arm
What waste of trutiles it is to stuff partridges
with them to which, in that sharp, thin voice so
peculiar to Pdrsiennes, she answered, Il wish for
my part, they would stuff them with truffles of
gold that would be worth being squeezed to death

e woman, extremely fair and gentle-looking, but
WITH at the same time, a keen sordd light in the

gone, and should like to see any one of her French
