MADRID, April 22.-In the Cortes yes.

deputy, requested an examination into the
matter of the Montpensier and Henry de
Bourbon duel Gen. Prim refused, saying
the matter had been ended in the courts of
law. The General was supported in this
by the Cortes.
Prim WOunded-Was it n Duel
A duel was recently fought between Gen.
Prim and Admiral Topete, the particulars
of which has been carefully kept from the
public. Gen. Prim has certainly been
suffering from a slight wound and the story
of duel probably arose from this circum-
stance.
Great Expectations.
The Orleanists think that Duke Mont
pensier's chance for the throne of Spain
has been improved by his duel with Prince
Henri.

daughter. The mother, who assisted in
making the dress, and the daughter who
wore it, at the same time fell dangerously
sick and had a narrow escape from death.

lily at once discovered poisoning
by arsenic. The green dress was
chemically analysed, and it was found
that the coloring contained thirteen pei
cent. of arsenic. The merchant was
summoned before the Criminal Court ; but
he was acquitted, for the reason that he
could prove he had advised the purchaser;
of the poisonous quality of the color used

for twenty-seven thousand dollars per mile,
in currency, ten thousand to be paid in
cash, and the balance to be taken in stock
and Endorsed bonds. The Directors of the
