LONDON, April S-The Nathan New ion
scandal continues 10 be the allabsorbing
topic Of discussion in tho American colony
Of London. A correspondent to-day
called upon the hero at the episode, in Or.
der that hloyeraon OF the occurrence should
be laid before the American people. as
we'll as the official notice Of the withdrawal
Of his court presentation. Mr.. julius New.
tan, as hc now insists upon being called,
inhabits a palatial residencs at b Nc.k76
| z leen's Gate. kensington road = South.
kensingtop. 1t is close by Sanhope GAR
dens, in the very heart Of the fashionable
Wes! Fad Of London, and his Sneighbors
include some Of the highest ariatocracy Of
England. Y ~ Y
E"lt har been rumo.ed that the action Of
Mr.. lowell wns baaed on demand madss2
upon him by the Lord Chamberlain Of her
Majssty's household. h Ia that true r. 3;s
There is. absolutely. not q, word Of truth
IN that story. l have 1t upon the best OF :
authority. that the Earl tGKnumore' has,
made no such demand, and, in fact, has not,
interested hinsslt at all in, tho matter
What Mr.. Lowell did he did on his own in, 4
iliativs, or a. leas. without any prompting
from any one connected with the court or
with the British Government" y,iifSs5 s.z

-; AT TIE AMERICAN EXCHANGE. Il
The correspondent next called upon Mr.
James r. Low ell, at his new residence, No. I;
81 Lowndes Square, in an endeavor TO
learn officially the Gauss which led to tho ]
Minister'S action. Mr. Lowell was thor
oughly angry. and apparently embitteret
against Mr.. Newton, but he absolutely re-. 4
fused to make any statement for publica. !;
ton in regard 10 the agair. {,
:. At the.SAmericun- Exchange and in \
American society circles there IL u great &
deal OF gossip concerning the Nswlons, 4
but very little Of 1t can be verified or trac=d I
10 trustworthy s,urccs. It is certain that !
Mr.. and Mrs. Newton have been very am. |.
bitiou, to move iu the highest circles Of !
society, and have been very. anxloua to get 4
such mark OF aristocracy as is confe,red 4
BY q presentation at the court. 81 Mr.. New
ton, however, made the serious blundsr at Z.
the outset Of his London social career, az 4
alternating the wealthy Hebrew element hyi,
changing his name, and by etlacing, as lar
as possible, nll traces al his Js ish origin.
This angered many influential people who
could have materially aasis.ed his nmbj.
ton, and they have numerically snubbel I
him in consequence. He has, in fact, q
become isolated by his voluntary abandon s
ment Of one class Of friends and his iailum /:
to enter the circle Of another class. People II
are now wondering how he induced Mr. 4
Lowell to champion his claims to the ex,Ss
tent Of originally presenting him ut court, 4.
and contentlDg to have Ars, Lowell iDtrcs /
duce Mrs. Newton. ~. $a5sjs .us:igts33S,s Z Z
