NEW YORK, July 20-To day l will speak

Lord Vaudeville and his new Cuban Yankee
wife have gone to England again. The history
Of tie romance to date Is something like this:
Young Manlcvillc, while rowing On the Cont
nent some years since, fell violently in love
with an Italian girl, III station quite beneath
| him. Speedily was the anoroso called back to
the fast-ancnored iele by the alarmed Duke Of
Manchester, his father, leaving the Donna In
| colsolable. The imprudent boy was sent to
America, and warned to avoid all foolishness il
he would escape shipwreek. Here he met
THE cHAnM1Ss coSsuELo YzSAGA,
and, undisciplined by his former experience,
speedily avowcd his love. Yznuga del Valle,
her father, was reported to be very wealthy,
hence the lover scorncd his fathers threats, aud
the marriage bells rang merrily.- Both the par
ties were young and handsome; and one was
highly titled, and ono was very rich. Suddenly
old Yznaga, reputed IS rich as Firkdn, WAS al19-
bushed By hard times, and so embarrassed that
| he was almost without available means. Tue
| panic aud anguish were increased by the an
! nouncement that the young bridegroom WAS cut
| of from his allowance By euragcd father.
His parents were both young, having been mar
ried since 1850, and their lifetenure Was strong.
The rcbellious boy, deprived Of all the income
of his estates till the death Of his father should
make him master Of the fortunes Of the family
and give him the Ducal crown, saw nothing be-
fore him but twenty or thirty years of pcnury.
Brought up like other rich mems sons, he per-
haps was incapable Of earning q living for
himself in our republican rough-anG-
tumble, or lacked the pluck to try it; for it is
reported that, in his extremity, he sought and
found relief in his new young friend,-whom he
beat at olo,"-James Gordon Bennett. it Is
understood that slim !" agrees to lend him
$4,000 year, taking his post-obits for ITS re-
turn,-the dictionary defining post-obit to be
ia bond in which the obl,gor, in consideration
of having received q certain sum Of money,
binds himself to pay larger sum, on unusual
interest, on the death Of some specified indiVid-
ual FROM whom be has expectations" It is an
act Of kindly fricndlincss on Benefits part, and
it is not probable that lie Whl exact or accept
"unusual interest" Meantime, Lord and L.dy
Vaudeville sailed for Europe last Wednesday
on the steamer with Dom Pcdro, to see the
hard-hearted father aud implore him to 1elent

By the way, you see that
MISS BENNETT
Is to enter convent, aud has already taken the
preliminary steps, She is bright sweet, shy,
pretty girl but if the world knew Of the shad-
ows that are over her life it would no longer
carried the burden Of romantic history that
cannot be clearly outlined. 1t VIII not be for
gotten, however, thai Mrs. Bennett was eccen-
trio, and that the great editor stood by her
through much nnfricndly gossip, and finally,
when he died, left all his property to his eldest
son, with the sole injunction to "take good care
Of Ills mother and sisters.
