Pickeps is in q state of admirable defense
the guns glistening in the sun as a warning
monitor not to spDroach it on a hostile m s.

riton, is able not only to reputse all attacks,
but as Pickens commands all the forts and
batteries in the bands of the State troops,
be is also able TO silence them in an incredi.
MY short space of time. In construction,
this fort is a irst-class pentagonal Fashioned
work, built of stone, brick and bitunen,
with covered ways, dry ditch, glacis and
outwOrks complete. Its walls are about
forty feet in hieh by thirteen feet in thick
ness; it is embrasured for two tiers of guns,
in bomb proof easemates, and one tier of
guns open, or en- barbstte. .-i'a
The guns from this work radiate to every
point Of1he horizon, with flank and en6lad
ing fire in the bitches and at every angle of
approach. From the date of commencing
this fort to the period of finishing was twenty
five years. 1t cost the Federal Government

THE MrREs AFFAIR IN FRANCE.-The affair
Mires has taken on so serious turn that that
gentleman has again been placed du secret.
WbPp first arrested he made such threats
sgapst the Government, that he was at ouce
secluded; subsequently he was allowed to
receive Occssional visits from his wife aud
daughter, the Princess de Polignac, and still
later he was permitted TO receive his lawyer.
But now he is again secluded, aud the re-
ports about town are quite as numerous and
alarming as when the arrest was made.
1t is said, among other things, that high
public functiOuaries are implicated, and that
designations ana arrests may be looked for
that will starte the town. The debates in
the Senate on the paragraph Of the Address
on Interior Affairs, and in which reference
was made by N. Dupin and others to this
affair, was no doubt the starting point of the
new alarms on The subject. TIE impatie nee

Further About the YeIverton scandaI-De-
-fense Of Teresa LonewOrth's Conduct.
Dublin correspondent writes TO Lon
don Journals: .v.. a.f ....
/ am informed that Major Yelverton's
name will be struck out of the list of mem.
bers of the Junior United Service Club. The
Irish papers have found a telling rejoinder
to the Majors requirements OF Veente
blood" as one constituent of "a LADY," in the
history Of the Avonmore family-whose
honors were purchased at no very remote
period of the services Of the well-known
Barry Yelverton, whose father was butcher,
and who is said to be married to his cook, as
is the wont of distinguished lawyers. The
Majors first victim is the cousin of Mr..
Lengworth, our Consul General at Belgrade
"a gentleman much respected by all who
knew him, and who has written on Ciroassa
where he both travelled and served. He is
the "Alcide" referred to in some of the lady's
letters read at the trial by Sergeant ARM
strong, who commented on this unknown
"Alcide," as If he had been an unavowed
lover. III
1t was to Mr.. Longworth that the letter
was addressed that Major Yelverton was
asked by Miss Longworth to post from
Malta-the request which led to a renewal
of their steamboat mountaineering. The
to her correspondent-who was described on
one occasion as her brother, on another as
her cousin-is e1plicable by the fact that he
was brought up with his cousins on footing
of brotherhood and sisterhood so close and
complete that most even Of their intimate
friends imagined them actual brother and
sister. -....... .... ....t .t
There is fact, which did not come out on
the trial, but which quite disproves the
theory of the defense, that Miss Lougworth
went to Galata to ''hunt up" Major Yelver-
ton. The real inducement was respect for
the memory of a gallant French officer, to
whom she had formed an attachment in the
interval between her first introduction to
Major Yelverton, in 1852, and her going to
Galata in 1856. .... ...... 10
This officer died, or was killed, in the
Crimeen War, and it was sympathy for the
service be belonged to, and devotion to his
memory, which led her to join the French
Sisters of Charity as a nurse, at the hospital
d at Galata-not any project for meeting
Major Yelverton. independently of this,
however, Miss Longworth, from her educa-
tion, was more a foreigner than an Irish
woman. She was educated in French and
Italian converts, and this should be taken
into account, in judging her from her letters
and her conduct .a .-.....
