The Title OF the Virginius to Pre-

Several defenders Of Spain in this
country are, through the medium of the
press and otherwise, eudeayUTing ~ Jus
tify the acts Of the cap balm OF the lorna
do ADD Of Gen. Burriel, by proving either
that the Firg!pius was No. an American
vessel, or that if she was, che was not
at the time Of her capture entitled to the
protection Of this Government,
That the Nirgiuius was properly clear
cd by orr consular officer az Kingston Is
admitted, and this one fact settles the
whole matter so far as the voyage IL con-
earned for which such clearance was
Issued. 4 Consul, when properly ac-
credited and after his eGegudtUr has
been issued By the Government to which
be Is accredited, is the legal and only
possible representative for all CONNER
Cial purposes Of any government abroad.
The signature and seal, therefore, of our
Consul IN Kingston tcstifying to the ma
tionaiitY of the FirginiUs are Of exactly
similar value as 20 tho fact testified TO in
such act as would lie the signature and
seal Of Secretary Richardson.

which she vas captured. Moreover, we

Fuller details respecting the devil ash
seen off st. Johns, n. f., show that he
was even larger than at first described to
be- The fishermen who saw the creature
in broad day, and we're close to it and
examined it before it gave any signs of
life, or alarmed them by its movements,
declare positively that it's length was net
less than sixty feet and It's diameter five
feet, while its tai was fully ten feet
across. It's beak they describe as being
"the size of a six gallon kcg" With
this formidable weapon It struck their
beat violently and then commenced wind
ing its arms around it. Alarmed By
these movements 4 fisherman seized his
axe and cut OF two arms which were
around the boat. One Of these arms vas
thirty inches in thickness, but the por-
ton amputated was not moro than six
feet in length This arm has, unfortuS
nately, been lost, the fisherman having
thrown it away. The longer arm they
brought TO St Johns, but not before six
feet of it vas destroyed. The portion
now immersed in spirits and preserved
in the museum is nineteen feet in length,
and the men say that they left ten feet
at least behind, attached to the body Of
the fish, 80 that its original length must
have been thirty-five feet, This eorob-
crates their tale of the size CT the body,
for only large body could work such
enormous arms.
