The returns made TO the British Poor Law
Board for April show that, in the counties OF
Lancashire and Cheshire, taken together, the
Northwestern division OF England, the in
crease in the number Of paupers relieved was,
almos. througoat the month, from "a, 900 in
April 1851, 10 129,0o0 in April, 1854 an. in
crease Of abeat sc per cent, or two-thirds.
At the end of the month the indoor paupers
had increased from ID 4el in 1851 to Il, si3 IN
1852, and the outdoor from 81, 703 to l12,
The distress is confined to this district. The
increase in the southern parts of England
over the pauperism of last year is very slight,
and at the end of the month the increase for
all England was not over 10 per cent. 8
i THE u Mon men here, says the Paris cores
pendent of the New York Times, are quite in
dignant at acircumstance which is said to have
happened In the streets of Paris the other day,
and which, it is to be hoped, is not true. A
high Federal functionsry lately sent abroad on
diplomatic mission met in the street Mr..
Slidell, when the latter very properly stopped
at window in order to avoid hia former friend
butnow enemy. q The latter, however, went
up to Mr.. s., and Familiarity calling him BY
name, commenced conversation. Mr. SlideIl
Is reported to have said Afterwards to his
friends that he was astonished at the imperti-
neiica of the Federal fnnctionary in speaking
10 him, and did not desire to renew the
Acquaintance. The Union people think Mr.
Slidell was right and the Federal wrong.

Waite House.

Benjamin j. Losing, the historian, states
that the White House on the Pamnnkey,
which was burned on the retrest Of the right
wing of Gen. McClellan's army, was not the
one which sheltered Washington during his
honeymoon, as has been alleged, nor does the
esirte belong to the rebel General Lee. This
mansion, he says, possessed no more claim to
our reverence than any other one belonging
to rebel family on the Peninsula. The facts
Of the case are thus stated by Mr.. Losing:
1.-THE white House where Washington
resided with his bride fthe owneF1 during the
frst few weeks of his married life, was de-
molished many years ago, and the late build
ing, somewhat different in form, WAS erectad
upon It's site. q This estate, as well as that Of
Arlington, near Washington city was the
property of the bate Ga M. p. Gusts, the
grandson of Mrs. w ashington. Mary Gusts,
the wife of the rebel General Lee, Is the sole
heir of Mr.. Gusts, and all his property will
remzin in hen possession, according to The pro-
visions Of his will, during her natural life,
and then become the patrimony of her chill
drensti One of her sons, formerly an officer in
the army of the United States but now colonel
of q rebel regiment at Richmond, has, since
his marriage in 1859, been the occupant Of the
white House, and surrounding estate, the
property of his mother Irepeat that the late
White Hoase was never seen by Washing
ton, and that the estate is not the property Of
the .Rebels General Lee Mrs., Lee, his wife,
is my authority for the assertion" + af;ig

the result wilt be in accordance with the

for thirty-eight years the last House of Rep
