From lie OId NYorI.l.

The longexpected trial Of Tho Nor
daunt divorce case began in London on
the Odd Of February. II will be rnmem-
bered that Sir Charles M0rdaunt charpos
his wife with criminal intercourse with "A
number Of gentlemen, among them The
Prince Of Wales. The charge Il based
on her own confession and the attentions
Of the Prince and others 10 her. The
friends Of Lady Mordaunt plead that she
is insane. II is said in the Enelish pa.
pers that the Queen sent for Sir Charlie,
and begged him not 70 press his suit. on
account Of the scandal that would ensue.
and that the wronged husband fatty ~.
fused, AT the trial, the Prince was ON
the stand. He admitted the Acquaintance
ship with Lady Mordaunt, but solomnly
asseverated that there had never been
any improper intimacy between himself
and the lady. The declaration was re-
ceived with immense cheering by the
'loyal spectators in the courtroom.
This strange case was finally concluded
on the Oath Of February. The jury rem
dered a verdict that Lady Mordaunt was
insane, and not responsible for her words
and acts. This, Of course, exonorntes
the Prise Of Wales ofthe charges against
him, and saves the royal family from am
other scandal.

ShiP-BuIIding I'm the Western
River.

In the report Of the special Congress.
sional committee on navigation interests
appears the following:
THE committee have been strongly
impressed by the facts brought before
them of the capacity of our Western riv-
ers for shiP,building purposes. The al
most boundless resources of the Missouri,
the Ohio. and the Tennessee, and other
Western and Southern valleys, in the way
of coal, iron, and timber, with the OPP
portunities of reaching the sea, point TO
them as capable of becoming at an early
day ship-building entre-pots as important
as the Tyne and Wear, the Clyde and
Thames. On this point the strongest evil
dence was presented in paper forwarded
by Mr.. John Playen, of philadelphia.
formerly an English iron master. and
practically acquainted with the localities
referred to in his statement. Mr.. Playen
states that his points are made TO show
that it is not the low wages Of Europe
alone which prevents the revival of our
shipping interests, but the lack of organ
izatiOn, and the situations Of the different
establishments, that prevent ship plate
iron being cheaply produced
HE says that it is a fact beyond dis
pute that pig-iron can be made as cheaply,
and coal can be obtained more cheaply,
on the Ohio than on the Tees, in England
Ships can, in his opinion, be built as
aheaply on the Ohio and hOated to the
sea- He declares that our failure is due
to the want of organization. The best
locality for building iron ships in the
United States will be found on the Mis-
sissippi or Ohio Rivers above Cairo. Iron
can be obtained and made ON the Ohio az
cheapIy as in England. Mr.. Playen de
clares that it is the magnitude md extent
of the grand rivers of this continent
which enable one to see the foregoing
plans as quite practicable" He also ar
CUES that American iron is superior to
British, enabling our vessels to be built
of lighter material, giving greater tom
mage than that Of Great Britain. He de-
clares that scores of places can be pointed
out where pig iron can be made as cheap
ly as in England besides the Ohio Val
ley"

New Tactics in Legislation.


That the members of the Legislature
now in session are not familiar with par
liamentary law and usage, or that many
singular motions are made and entertain
ed, cannot be matter of surprise to any
one who will glance over the two bodies
and see of what elements they are COM
posed. We are disposed to make all due
allowance, and to recognize the fact that
they are new hands at the business of
law-making. They are now, as children
at school, but unfortunately the school
masters presiding do not seem to be gifted
in the business of teaching the young
ideas how TO shoot. z @ r8#9
The proceedings in the hall of the
House of Representatives on Saturday
evening last were of so unusual a-char-
acter, and the decision of the presiding
officer so unreasonable and absurd, we
notice the same as Indicative of the wis
dom of ''the Powers that be" The two
Houses had resumed their session in joint
convention for the purpose of electing a
State Printer. Two ballots had been ia
ken in the morning. Before the third
ballot was ordered, q member of the
House moved that the House concur in a
rule adopted by the Senate for the gov
eminent of conventions of both bodies.
After considerable discussion, the Presi-
dent of the Senate, who was presiding,
decided the motion out of order. Mr..
Clark then proposed to withdraw his mo
ton, to which no objection was made, ex-
cept by the President, who arbitrarily re-
fused to let him withdraw the motion,
Notwithstanding he had declared it outfof
order, and not properly before the Con-
vention! This decision was followed by
his retiring from the Speakers chair, and
notice to the Senators to follow him to
their own Chamber.
Notwithstanding this hasty, unreasona-
bic and undignifed proceeding on the
part of the Senate, the House magnani-
mously dispatched the sergeant-atarms to
invite them back. But he was too hate.

The island nf Juan Fernandez has hee

The island of Juan Fernandez has been
purchased by an enterprising German,
who has exported thither considerable
colony of his countrymen, and supplied
them with suitable implements of agri-
culture. The popular notion of the
island, derived from Robinson Crusoe, is
q very mcoherent one. Juan Fernandez
is long, rocky island, about az large as
Staten Island, lying 400 miles of Valpa-
raise, on the coast of Chill. If things
have not deteriorated since Selkirk's time,
the German coIonists will have pleasant
quarters-a climate so good that the trees
and grass are verdant all the year round,
and SOIL 80 fertile that everything thrives
luxuriantly.

e
On Saturday last the rules of the Sen
ate were suspended and bill was intro
duced repeating all laws and parts of laws
allowing any Circuit or Supreme Couri
Judge to issue a writ of habeas corpus in
any other district or circuit than his own;
annulling all writs now sued out which
are antagonistic to this new law, and pun
ishing heavily the Judge that should is
sue such writs.
1t was to go into effect Immediately up
on its passage, and was clearly designed
to abridge the rights which civil govern
ment brings to the people of Mississippi
in that writ which is so dear to all lovers
of liberty. We do not intend to discuss
its features, though part of it was clear
ly er post facto in its nature, as ii was
withdrawn after passing second reading.
We only cite it to show what may be
looked for from this Radical Legislature
which bids fair to be governed wholly by
prejudice and partizan desires.
Though Radicalism could go no farther
than this bill proposed it should go, We
are not surprised by such course on the
part of members who act with the major
ity of body that could elect such man
as Ames to Office, and glory in their deg
radiation. He annulled the writ of ha-
beas corpus, and his minions showed
their approval of his infamous course by
sending him, though a nonresident, to
represent Mississippi in the United States
Senate They now are attempting to ape
his example As we said before, we are
not surprised at this, but we are surprised
that such a bill should emanate from a
man Senator Shoup, of Lafayette who,
during the canvass, proclaimed that he
was in feeling and principle Democrat,
and if his party was in the field he would
be with it, but that as the contestants
both claimed to be Republican, he went
with Alcorn, the Southernor, as deInier
resort, against Dent, carpet-bagger and
an abolitionist We would like to know
if his repugnance to the writ of habeas
corpus was sired by fear that Dent was
about to set some of his Lafayette county
negroes free.
The Holly Springs Reporter quotes as
follows from speech by DIR. Compton at
Holly Springs in October last, before a
Conservative Convention, opposed to Re
publicanism :"

From the known scarcity of these re-

party, we infer that the Governor either
intends to import new lot of the former

they did in the last. Beast Butler has
