A Woman Who Initiates the Queen.

. 1t is a grand triumph says Atlas,
!" to be mistaken for the Queen, as a.
certain lady of fashion, the relict Of a
well known ambassador to the Court of
st. James, and resident in the neighbor-
hood Of Windsor Castle, has recently
proved. The lady in question has pro-
cured a carriage Of precisely the same
peculiar build as those in which the
Queen is driven about Windsor; her
horses are housekeeping greys of ex-
actly similar shade nd height with the
royal steeds, and to aomplete the like
ness. they are driven con the most ordi
nary shopping trips in the streets of
Windsor and Eaton not from inc
coach-box, but just as are her Males
ty's-by positions, who wear mourn
ing livery undistinguishable from that
worn by the Queens outrider's. Let it
be added to this that the lady referred
to possesses somewhat the contour of
face and the attitude of our sovereign,
that she too retains still deeply vidual
costume; SO it cannot be marveled at
that I'M personation should occasionally
deceive the innocent"
The person alluded to is lady of
fashion and not a retired fish

at tho Poco Central Office about midnight last night
having In custody two coored men, Andrew Randall ana
william Lawson. These prisoners, who are apparently
intelligent men, killed tho captain OF vessel about ton
months ago. They were seamen employed on this yes
sell which was lying of Hampton Roads, Virginia. Tho
vessel aground bar, aud the captain, whose
name the Marshal did not remember, was very abusive
to Randall when ho aboard again after the vessel
was got of tho bar. Tho captain used vile cpithets to
Randall and Lawson. and said no would murder them
He seized an iron bar and raised II to strike hem when
the two men attacked him, and in the struggle that en-
sued Randall struck the captain fearful blow upon the
head with capstan bar. The two men were tried and
convicted OF murder in tho United States Court In Alex
andra Va They brought up for sentence but their
counsel raised some question and tho indictment was
quashed. Then the men indicted for mutiny and
both pleaded guilty Randall sentenced to ten years.
and Lawson TO two years imprisonment In the Penlten
tiary at Albany. and both are on their way there.
