An English Cause Celebre.
An Fnjflish correspondent sends us
the following:
"The London fashionable world is
on the tipte of exportation in regard
to an impending cause eetebre of the
tirst water.
"The interest attending trials in
England depends almost exclusively
upon what in the newspaper phrase
ology Is termed 'the position of the
parties.' Thus when old Lord William
Russell was murdred. many year
airo, hy his valet Courvoisier, It pro
duced an indecrihahle interest and
MMttOM uhereas, if some ruftimi
had knocked a poor old plebeian ou
the had, none would have cared six
pence about the matter.
"In the present ease. tbnat imra
dlstely concerned, and those ron
nected with them, occupy such a po-d
tion in society as to make the trial
now Imminent unusually attractive to
the lovers of gos-ip and -s-aueinl.
"For the last seven years th"
daughter- of Sir Thomas and Lady
Louisa Moncrifffe have been famous
a- lutie. The eldest is the wife ot
th- Duke of Athole: another, whose
beauty is uncontested, is the wife of
the Eiul of Dudley, 'the Iron Karl,'

to have probably become imprcS3d
on the rablds of very many. She
was struck dead by lightning, within
a fortnight aft.-r her marriage.

"When, some timesince, he became
the tiUiatid of his beautiful bride, all
seemed fair before him, but the pros

Sir Frederick Johnstone, a wealthy
sporting baronet, are co-rewpocdf'iii-.
Lord Cole's position is rendered the
more unpleasant, inasmuch as he last
year married Miss Baird, one ot the
co heiresses of the celebrated Glasgow

"Sir Charles Mordaunt's suspicions

Iiidiflii-Territory- It had been claimed
that some seizures in enforcing the law
in that. Territory were in violation of
certain treaty stipulations, and parties
feeling aggrieved had already applied
to Congress for relief. The claim he
did not think was justly founded, but
a contest had arisen. He hoped the
committee would consider the matter,
and a-ik the attention of Congress to
it. R'gardinK the extension of time
of which the Kentucky and Tennes
see whiskies should remain in bond, he
seemed inclined to favor it, and the
committee were di-psed to add an
other year, thus giving them two
vars before taking Hie whisky out of

Commissioner answered that he be
lieved it would add creatlv to the em

that vocal and instrumental niu.sic

that .he women, under all cir
cumstances, come back to first princi

thing ; women's rights are "splendid ;''
the progress of reform and the eleva
tion of literature are "charming."
But, alter ail, they are rather too dry,
anel not quite juie-y enough, even for
the determinate dames anel damsels
of Soi'os.s. "It is a familiar beast,"
says Shakespeare, "and signifies
love." "Love's like a red, red rose,"
says the old song. "For all we
know," says old Waller, "is that they
sing and that they love." "Oh,"
cried (Jatnpbell, "Oh, love! In such a
wiidernetes as this!" "Leive," said
Scott, "is loveliest w hen eiubaltiie-d iu
tears.'' "If music be' the food of!

And again he says, "For stony limits ,

that the ex Secretary propi eea, as sewn

to visit that eountry.-withaview after
a short sojourn there to proceed to St.
Domingo, where he intends to remain
until April, and thus avoid tbe severe

Boris Donzas. Secretary of the Rus
sian Legation, are in this city, and it
ls said the Russian Government has
made a demand, through Catacazy,
for the Interest on the Alaska purchase
money, trotu tue 'jt oi to upmw-
tion of payment by treaty to the ac
tual date of payment.
General egrete is in Herras pre
paring to sweep down on the national
capital, and has registered an oath to
shoot Juarez, Romero and Mjia on
sight. Two battaes have been fought
in the neighborhood of San Luis.
The result of the first was doubtful;
in the second, the Government troofrs
were badly beate:n. General E-wobedo
now commands the national army,
and General Agrine Is generalissimo
of the revolutionists. The Mexican
Congress, before adjourning, iuvestd
Juarez with ample powers, thus mak
ing him eventually hader.
A Vera Cruz correspond-mco gives a
suinm try of events in Mexico till the
iH-ginning of February. The insur
rection against Juarez is making rapid
progress. The strength of the revolu
tion is in the very heart of the Repub
lic. The Liberals, Conserva i en and
Imperialists are united, and make a
con. mon cause against Juarez. The
insurgents have complett
possession
ot the State of Nan Luis Potosi. The;
unpopularity of Juarez has been aug
Mated by his extravagant ouilay in
entertaining Mr. Seward, and by the j
suspicion that there were some real
estate transactions Involved in their
meeting. It is believed in Vera Cruz
that Juarez will not be able to retain
power longer than four months.
