Queens Bench was crowded to-day with
fashionable and distinguished people at the
trial of the second action for libel brought

Prince Nicholas Shady Pedigree.
BERLIN, November 17th.-Nicholas of
Mingrelia is a Prince who has never
reigned, nor been more than an obscure
henchman of the Gar. He was born Janu-
ary A. 1S47, and on April 26, 1874 was mar
ried to Marie, daughter of a conspicuous
Russian General and Minister, Count Ad-
lerburg. He is Colonel in the Russian
army and aide-de-camp to the Car. His
hereditary title of Prince comes from his
ancestors having held the chieftainship
over some of the wild tribes of the Cauca-
sus, and is scarcely to be compared with
similar titles even in the most insignificant
German States.
The League "On Top"
LONDON, November 17th.-Resisted evic-
of Ireland. The people at large are re-
solved on war to the knife in defense of
their hearths aud homes. 1t is curious to
note that side by side with boastful claims
that the firmness OF the Tory Ministry has
overawed the people and established order,
are calls on the Government to employ
overwhelming forces of military and po-
lice in Ireland to support the landlords in
carrying out the immense number of evic-
tions pending.
Any and all attempts 10 evict have been
thwarted. and the Government are at their
wits ends how to proceed to conciliate
their supporters, the landlords, without
driving the people to extremitieS and max
ing trouble for themselves in English con-
stituencies where the sentiment against
Irish coercion and eviction is taking deep
root. Mr.. Chamberlain has intimated that
he will not attend the meeting of Liberal
Unionists called for next month, to discuss
the political situation. He sees that ad-
vancement for himself and his theories has
not followed from separation from his dis
tinguishe6 chief, and he is paving the way
for return to the Gladstone fold.
