 AN INDISCREET EDITOR IMPRISONED.
 LONDON. May 21-The action of the Madrid Court of Justice in passing sen- tence of four months Imprisonment upon Senor Rafael Corrome, the well-known Spanish novelist and journalist, for writ ing and causing to be published libel upon the Duke of Edinburgh, created good deal of talk at the clubs. The ar ticle, which was written while the Duke was with the British squadron at Barce- Iona, was filled with scandalous state- ments concerning his private life, and appeared in large type in the leading republican newspaper of Valencia. The Prince was very anxious that the matter should be hushed ur, but the public prosecutor thought different, and the un- lucky journalist is now paying penanco for his "beat." Copies of the paper, however, had in the meantime found their way to certain club registers in London, who are
 ALWAYS ON THE QUI WYE for any thing with a salacious flavor, and so society is fairly roveliug in Senor Corrome's revelations. No English paper has so far dared to print the current rumor that the fever and attack or nerY- ous prostration which necessitated the bringing home of his royal highuess by special steamer was in reality an attack of what, among common people, would oo
 DESIGNATED AS THE JIM JAMS"
 The details, too, of the Princes arrival at Portsmouth have been colored by the Court Journal to meet the usages ot polite society. The truth is that, although tht Duchess of Edinburgh was waiting on the jetty when the Alexandra steamed into Portsmouth harbor at ten o'clock at night, she was not allowed to see her SICK husband. He had
 SUFFERED A "sLIGHT RELAPSE" so the doctor said, and could not be dis turbed. It was probable, however, that several days would elapse before ne would be equal to tho fatigue of rail- road journey Yet, wonderful to relate, the ne xt morning this very sick man was so much improved that he was able to walk to the train and to make the entire journey to London without interruption. Bulletins issued on the morning after bis arrival announced that he was greatly improved" and in a few days, thanks t the watchful eye of the Duchess, he wa as well as ever.
 THE ROYAL PROGRAMME.
 LONDON, May 21.-There is not the slightest foundation for tho widely-cir- culated report that Ireland is to be visited this year by either the Queen or the Prince of Wales. Her Majesty will go to Balmoral for the autumn on leaving her palace and the Prince of Wales, who goes, it is asserted, to Homburg f1m Carlsbad, will remain on the <scon- tinent till toward the end f De- tober Every thing was orGred t. be in readiness for the Queens ar rival at Balmoral on Saturday last, and the interior Of the castle having inst under- gone all annual renovation, the whole place is in spic-and-span order, while all the walks in the grounds and the private drives ill the royal forests have been brought into trim condition. The date or ! Her Majcsty's arrival at Balmoral de pends entirely upon the health ot the | Princess Beatrice, but she Is not now eN- | pected until the end of next week. The | Queens spring sojourn will be much l shorter than usual, as 1t Is settled that 1 she leaves there for Windsor on Friday l June Fl.
 LORD LYTToN's ILLNESS.
 In spite of all that has been sad to tha contrary, i have reason to believe Lord Lytton's illness more grave than sup posed He has for a long time been suf- fering from a nasal affection. and has already had two slight operations, but this last operation, which took place on Monday, wars-more serious. It was said that he left Paris for political reasons. The truth was that he e-cc2gIGq ssa;saI .ondon for advice, NJ. Fauvel, his Froncf T5cI0T, being anxious that he should be under the best surgeon ill London.
 THE CARDINAL MANNING TESTIMONIAL.
 The list of subscribers 70 the testimoui- al to Cardinal Manning in honor of the archiepiscopal silver jubilee, swells apace. There are now two funds in the field, one to free the pro- Cathedral of Kensington from a debt of el2,0)0, and the other to present to His Eminence q further sum to devote to any othey -al-.s in his choice. The Duke of ~s.s/ -- 5ub- Butte, 1Si5o' eIoo; T ;l' Lady Lady Iartins, the wife of the Judge, who is a member of Cardinal Manning's flock, fl00, and Lord French, Sir Hum- phrey de Trafford, Lady Huntingtower Sir Charles Halle and Lord Arundel, of Wardour, smaller sums. Considering the good start made, it seems likely that by June of next year, the real date to be cell ebrated, a sum something like E10,000 will be collected, all of which will be devoted by Cardinal Manning to the caetities nearest to his heart.
 AMATEUR ART EXHIBITION.
 The amateur art exhibition, which tne l n, k,I | Wednesday should prove unusually suc- cessful. Not only has Mir. William Low ther secured Mrs. Naylor Leyland's beau- tiful house at Albert Gate, but amongst the exhibitors are the Princess of Wales, who contributes two capital sketches in oils, the Empress Frederick, the Duchess of Cleveland, the Duke of Argyle, Lady Granby Lady Lindsay and Lady Wat1r- ford.
 SERIOUS MARITIME COLLISION.
 LONDON, May 21.-The earlier reports of the collision in the channel between the steamer Beresford and German Emperor were exaggerated by the survivors who landed at Dover. Only the German En- peror sank; the Beresford was lost sight of, and it was thought that she had gone down too, but she succeeded ln keeping afloat, made for Gravesend, where she ar rived in damaged condition. She has on board twenty-five of her crew and twelve of the crew of the German En- peror Both vessels were bound out the Beresford from Hartlepool and the Elm peror from London.
