The Paris Courts.

The Paris correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette writes, under date of Feb.
%: The Paris de Justice was crowded
Yesterday to excess to hear M. Jules
Favre plead in favor of Comte Al
bert de Bourbon, stated to be the son of
one of the twenty-one persons who
claimed to be Louis XVII. 1t is ex-
pected that the great Republican advo-
cate will take three days to establish the
claim of his client to the throne. The
father of the claimant was the cele-
brated Naundorff, clock maker of Span
dau, who, when he first made known his
pretensions, could not speak word OF
French; yet when he escaped from the
temple he must have been about nine
years old. However, Naundorff is not
the only claimant who forgot his French.
The Naundorff affair is supposed to
have been encouraged formerly by the
Orleanists with the view of bringing dis
credit on the elder branch. The Comte
de Chambord now leaves the defence in
the hands of the Attorney General.
Another case which excited interest was
the action brought by NJ. Loyau de Lacy
against the Figaro and the Gaulois.
This matter concerned the press in gem
eral, which is bound to publish reply to
all attacks. Any man attacked in a
French newspaper has the right of re-
plying 10 the extent of twice the length
of the attack. But the law probably did
not contemplate giving this right of re-
ply to dramatic authors. M. Loyau de
Lacy having written one of the worst
pieces ever played on the stage, was
mercilessly criticised by the Gaulois and
the Figaro, who went so far as to speak
of him as "Aloyau de la Scie, aloyau
meaning a sirloin of beef, and scie II
shave. The irritated author retorted,
and the Figaro and Gaulois refused to
insert his defense; hence the action.
The court decided that the two journals
in question, having exceeded the duties
Of criticism and INDUCED in personalities,
we're bound to make reply; but M.
Loyau de Lacy, having Implicated other
persons in his rejoinder, the two papers
could not print his letters without the
risk of being prosecuted by the manager
of the Porte st. Martin. NJ. Loyau de
Lacy was, therefore, nonsuited and con-
demned to pay costs. II may be added,
NJ. Loyau de Lacy, who is teacher Of
young ladies, pleaded his own case, and
almost disturbed the gravity of the bench
by addressing the judges on one occa-
sion as Mesdemoiselles."

WASHINGTON.
Congressional proceedings.

WASHINGTON, March 3. = Secretary
Richardson has written a letter to SEN
ator Sherman, Chairman of the Finance
Committee, in answer to the question
whether the passage of bill restricting
the refunding Of custom duties and pre-
scribing certain regulations for the
Treasury Department would embarrass
the departm in its decisions. The
Secretary says its passage would cause
no embarrassment. He goes into an
exhaustive analysis of propositions con-
tanned in the bill, and follows them up
by bis own suggestions.
One proposition of the bill is that no
ruling or decision made by the Secretary
of the Treasury, giving construction to
any law imposing custom duties shall be
changed by the same or succeeding
Secretary, unless an opinion favoring
such change shall be given by the At
torney General, is objected to by Secre-
tary Richardson, on the ground that it
gives the Attorney General the duty Of
deciding in the construction of the tariff
laws, when they should not decide until
after the first prima facie decision of the
Treasury Department.

THE famine in Bengal, British India,
has commenced in earnest. Very hearty
efforts have been made to render it as
light as possible, and at various points
depots of rice have been established, in
which the Government has stored sufii-
Gent food to last for considerable
time. Yet with all the efforts that
can be made, the burden upon the thirty
millions Of people whose sole source OF
living has been almost entirely
taken away, will be grievous, and
the suffering great. At least from three
to five million inhabitants will have to
be fed, and these are scattered over
wide extent of territory. The
railroads are few, and many OF
those starving will be reached with
difficulty. The only bright spot in
this sad picture is the fact that at latest
adviees the second crop Of rice, though
not out of danger, had considerably i'm
proved under recent showers. This may
shorten the period of the famine.
