After much difficulty in boy or & jury the case of the claimant was stated by Sei it Bal- lantine, one of the mosteminent members of the English bar.on May 11. As will be remembered byt who bave read Mr. Samuel Warren's famous novel of -*Ten Thonsand a Year,” the most important cases frequently have as de- fendant one who is not really so, bat only by a legal fiction. Asin that famous suit in which the client of Gammon & Snap, Mr. Tittlebat Titmouse, was the plaintitY, aud a tenant the nominal defendant, in a suit for ejectment. So in the Tichborne trial the defendant is a Colonel Lushington, tenant of the Tichborne estate in Hampshire. Theeal defendants are the guar- dians of the infant known as Sir Alfred Joseph Doughty Tichborne. The Plaintuf claiming to be the uncle of the child and the right to dispos- sees him of the estates and title which are now held by him, and which are of large importance. In the generation preceding the plaintiff there were three brothers Tichborne: the eldest died childless; the second, who had assumed in con- sideration of an inheritance the name of Doughty, left one danghter, Kate, afterwards Ratcliffe, but no son; aud the third brother had two sons, Sir Roger, whom the plaintii® claims to be, and James, whom died young, leaving » posthumous child, Alfred, who at present holds the estates and title. Sir James Tichborne married a French lady, daughter of an English gentleman anda French woman. They had a very unhappy life, making the life of their child, Roger, a ‘hell upon earth,” as he felicitously describes it. Hiseda- cation was entrusted to a Frenchman nam Chatillon, and was grossly neglected. When his family returned to England he was sent in 1845 to Stonyhurst, the great Catholic college, to school; but owing to various causes, chiet of which was bis want of preparation and his grose ignorance of the English, he made little or no progress. Examined at Sandhurst for the army, Re made a wretched examination, but the ex: aminers were not particular, and he was passed. He joined the Carabincers in 1849, at Portobello Bridge. In 1850 ke visited Tichborne, and there met his cousin, Kate Doughty, with whom he | fell in love, whom he wanted to marry, and with whom, as he swears, he was more familiar than was right. Refused her hand by her fa- ther, and unhappy in the army and society where his peculiarities had made him ridicu- lous, he determined to leave England Befo: doing so, after consultation with Mr. Hopkin: an eminentsolicitor, Mr. Slaughterand Mr. G ford, the steward of the estate, he made a He then sold out of the army, and after visiting his father and mother in Paris he took in the Pauline for Valparaiso. he was slight, with light hair and ey . no means bad looking. He was about 5 fect 8y inches high. During his sojourn in France he fell on his head. receiving a wound which left a large mark. While in the army he had a serious fainting fit, from which he recovered only when the surgeon bled himin the ankle—both of which marks the present claimunt possesses, and meili- cal evidence is forthcoming that he could not have inflicted them within any recent period. Before leaving he left in the hands of Mr. Gos- ford « sealed packet, the contents of which were known to noone. The soi disant Tichborne de- clares that he can tell its contents if it is intro- duced by Gosford. When the Pauline sailed from Havre there was on board wi¢h Roger a 34 servant named Moore. The vessel reached Valparaiso in June, 1853, and the pair then proceeded to Santiago, whore Moore fail ill and Tichborne lett him to go to Valpe, raiso; from there he went to Melipilla and re- mained three weeks knocking about. Then he returned to Valparaiso, from which he sent homs some birds feathers aud aking, Having taken @ coasting voyage in the Pauline, he re- turned to Valparaiso and Santiago, and then crossed the continent Kio Ja be He ‘ook New York. ‘That ship wi Z come to England the next kin administered the will of his father, and took possession of the estates, Sir r having been treated as defunct.

In this Australian letter he alluded to two circumstances, known only toher and to himself. She however, did not accept this statement as proof, and wrote | back to him to that effect. He wrote in reply, | giving farther particulars, amongst others that e had been recognized by Bogle, a black ser- vant of the family, whereof it may be said that | the apparent theory of the defence was that | Bogle bad posted Orton on all ing the family. After going to America Tich- | borne returned to England in December, 1806. | He then went to Paris to see his mother, and was immediately recognized by her. A suit was thereupon commenced for the reato- tion of the estates. It was resisted by the possesors declaring that the claimant’ was ‘Bet the man he pretended to be. Commis- sioners were sent out by both uth America and Australia. The soi-disant Sir Roger courted the strictest scrutiny, and for the pur, of proving his identity held in- terviews with men of all ranks and positions him tn early life. His tellow-oficers jers in the Carabineers, fellow-students in the College of Stonyhurst, his solicitor, Mr. Hopkins, in fine. even his own mother declare that he is Sir Koger Charies Tichborne. The trial commenced on May 10th, and after the ex- amination of a number ot witnesses the claim- ant was first placed on the stand on May 30th. He was examined through four days, and for twenty-three days was subjected to the most searching cross-examination that the solicitor general of England, Sir J. D. Coleridge, was capable of conducting. He was then re-exam- | ined for two days, and on July 7th the court ad- coucern- | journed until Nov. ith.

In — Miller was a democrat, and he par- took of the southern school, as his poetry shows. He is too good @ friend to be a mere partisan, and rather resented not being nominated as Judge for the fifth judicial district two years ago. The failure was a very fortanate thing it it drove him away to become famous. His waits of poetry had appeared at times, but he put a much finer polish on them since going abroad. He must have economized Freatly to save np means to travel upon, and I imagine that in preparing for a career he must have caused dis- satisfaction to his wite. Betore hiscareer in East Oregon finished, she left him, by bis consent, it is said, and went to her parents at Port Oxford She early obtained a divorce from him, ands after that he went East, and doubtless embi tered by the facts stated, he made no provision for his family, for he had three children. Mrs. Miller is now in this city, and I find her a bean titul woman, powessing literary and poct ability. I velieve she is absorbed and satistie with his career, and it is hoped by their friends that their differences may b fled and they may be reunited.

The rain was falling quite fast, and the wind blew cold and searching. After the parents had been gone ten or fifteen minutes, the servant went into the ment on some errand, leaving the child sleeping sweetly. On her return to bed-room she found the hed vacant, and the litile sleeper gone. She looked everywhere, but no trace of the child could be found. She searched the house from garret to cellar, with no better success. The girl became ‘frightened, and started to alarm the neighbors, and as she assed to the front door, found it ajar. — it was securely closed a few minutes before, the thought came into her mind that the child must be out in the street, and she directed her steps In that direction. Bythe dim light of the street lamp she saw the little child, which she soon reached, and weapeing bet ina shawl, took ber back to the house. The child was in its bare feet, with no clothing on buta night-dress. The servant removed its wet gar- ments and again placed it in bed, thinking all the time the child was then awake, and that she haa awakened trom her sleep, and, not im anyone in the room, had started out to find het mother. ‘The servant, after put- ting the child in bed and watching till it was again asleep, slipped down stairs to some flannels in which to wrap its little feet. She was not gone over a minute or two, and on returning to the room found the child | goneasecondtime. She at once wenttothe front | door, which she again «open, and stepplug back to get an umbrella to protect herself from the rain, heard voices on the front steps. It was the parent's the mother bearing the ittle somnambulist in her arms. The child had got | almost a block away trom home, and was tralg: in the heavy rain, bare-footed and in dress, when the parents, who were home, discovered something white them, and wondered what it could be. Their surprise, oncoming up to the child, cau be better imagined than described. The mother was almost overcome.

He had two sisters, one 20, and the other, Sarah, 12, bis favorite, whom he ased to ea! little baby. After pronouncing their decision, the members of the Commission of Pardon left Versailles on Sumday. igossel’s father made an appeal to the president of the Commission, M. Martel, which must have been paintul in tho extreme for both parties. Rossel himself, whose energy and calm reflection had been ta nodegree shaken by his danger, preyented any usefal ine terference,for he wrote a week ago to M. Thiers, stating in Substance: « T know that attempts are being mats tosare my life. Lam not insensible to these att which I thank the Commission 1 the lent.

Pasea, to the civil garments which he had tard upon bis bed, and observed, “You see that when [shall bare my breast and exclaim ‘Fire there,’ it will be my ownshirt, and not that ings. sea; of the prison.” He then handed to M.

M. Passa obtained permission for Rossel to take his last farewell of his relatives in the cell where prisoners see their counsel. The direc- tor of the prison and the pastor were present, and the scene wasintensely painful. The father, P resisting bis own impatience, thrust forward the mother and the two sisters into the arms ot his son, who pressing the hands of each in torn. exclaimed, “Take them, take them; alas 1} ave but two;” and then, to conceal his tears, dy buried his face in his hands, and his bosom swelled with suppresed emotion. “I love them so ceasly,” said he to the pastor when they had guited him—my poor parents; poor Sarah!’ Before leaving, the father had blessed his son, adding. “God be with vou, and keep you.” “Yes, futher,” replied el, “may God be with us—with’ you.” * We will come again to- mo: ow. “Oh, to-morrow!” said Ros gra,» ant broken tone. It was then that, filled wit! sinister presentments, the father saw M. Tilers upon his return from Rouen. On the fo owing night, Sunday, as it was feared that th: execution might be fixed for Monday, M. Rossel, sr, left his house and went to that of Pastor Pasea, in brder to assure himseif that his attend:nce was not required for that day. The fami'y still nursed hopes—the father, mother, si-t« rs, all in turn hastening hither and thither, ma} ing supplications, which, while it broke thei ts, brought no advantage to him for mthes labored.

A fire of charcoal, or simply glowing embers, is made within the hole, into which the woman about to ited throws ahandfulof drags. She thea takes off the clothes or robe which forms her crouches naked over the fumes, while she arranges her robe to fall asa mantle from her neck to the ground asa tent, She now begins to perspire freely in the hot air bath, and the pores of the skin being open and moist, the volatie vil from the smoke of the burning perfumes ts immediately absorbed.
