ADDITIONAL BY THE ATLAWTIC. THE GOSSIP OF EUROPE- STATE OF AFPAtRS (IN GERMANY. The Defeat of the American Yacht Sylvie. @bituary of Rear Admiral Cockburn. Wo Hon, Mrs, Nertcm, the Poetess, and Ber Husband. COMMERCIAL CIRCULARS, ae, de, do ‘We publish thie morning some interesting news ‘Peought out by the Atlantic, The most important features of the intelligence, with the latest aspect of ‘the Eastern question, were given in the Hanan of yesterday morning. We earn from the Londen Chronicle of August ‘Mth that Elizabeth Amelia Pugenia, Duchess of Ba- varia, who has been effianced to the Emperor of Austria, was born on the 24th December, 1937. Her Roya) Highness is the second danghier of Maximi- Bao Joreph, Duke of Bavaria, and of Ladovica Wil- hehwina, Princest of Bavaria. She’ basthree brothers and four sisters, She is grand daughter of the late King Maximilian Joseph, of Bavaria, cousin of the against them, the eonsul canvot ask redress vat he will ly succeed in an 9 matter of right, obtaining With the Germans exists yet a great eplrit of caste. Only certain classes are entitled to appointments; far mers, Dec hanics, tradesmen and laborers are excladed from all offices, wherewith, as with consulates, a certain rank is covnected. In order to secure to our consulates the necessary power and influence, our government would do weil not to affect those prejudi- ces by sppointing as consul any such gentleman who i8 @ ative of the consular district, and known there. The German government will not refuse giving him the exequator, but he will never be able to vver- come the prejudice arising from his former standing, neither be received in society, nor gain that consi deration £0 necestary for thé efficient execution of his office. We can condemn and pity such prejudices; but we have neither the right nor the means to demand its not being applied to those who were io their native State subjected to the same. Our consulates abroad are for service and convenience of our citizens; an injadicious appointment will therefore prove inju- rious to them, and not to the Germans, on whivh ae- count our government ought to seud sach men as will be capable of carrying inte efiect the purposes for which sonsuiates were :stituted. With the exception of the consvlatesat Aix la Chapelle and Leipzic, nove of the other inland con- sulates will pey more than office rent; still, as I have been told, appointments are made for them as politi cal reward for exertion at the last election; the = pointed consul comes out with the expectation get bold of the spoils and to obtaina certain rank and consideratioa, in both of which he will soon find himself dieappointed. The netoral consequen- ces have so far been that they are first trying 'o increase their income by acting az emigrant, land and passage agents which pot only brings them in conilict with the government, but annihilates every influence their office as consuls might give them. The end ef this is, that they throw up their commission and return home to the United States to their former profeswion, as which it would have been more wie never to have Bumperor of Austria, and nearly related to the Qreen | left.

My own condact, I admit, at that time was weak and vacillating in the extreme. J had Joved her to madness for three or four years before I married her, apd after we were united she had all ower over ne. But a)! idea of reunion was abruptly roken off when certain tidings reached me of her sojourn in the Jale of Wight. ‘rem that moment my honor was outraged, and our reunion rendered impossible. Judge, then, of ny surprise within the last three or four years to re- ceive bints from her as to our living again together; ove of these I can distinotly remember. My son Fletcher wae seriously unwell at ber hoase, and I weit there te see him. J was remarking to him that Iwas about taking anew lease of my house, when she said, “What nonsense, when there’s rom for you here.” Would any oue believe that in 1849 sneli a proposal could have coxe from the per- sou who, on Thursday last, denounced me in the way she did? jut 10 retarn to our moneyed differences. When we first separated 1 divided my invome—then only £560 or £500 per annum, into three portions. One 1 paid into Messra, Ransome for her suppor, the re- cond | allottea for payment of our debts, and the third for the three children and myself; and, after paying their exzenses, | bad not more than 5s. per day for myself vo live npon in town, having to attend Ww wy police court. Pegi Tu 1838 my cousins, Mr. Vanghan and his sister, fulfilled the y deceased mother’s wishes by leaving me their Yorkshire eetares, and I \mmediately in- creased Mrs. Norton’s allowance to £400 per avnum, exclusive of her pension. She declined at first re- ceiving it; be preferred furnishing houses and dis- poring of them, and leaving the tradesmen to bring their actions in the superior courts. At least thirty suits were inetitated ageinst me for debts of her coa- tracting. In two cases only were the opinions of es taken, and in both the verdicts were fr me, ut the expense of defending myself against snch ruination was very heavy, and I had to borrow, if J recollect, £5.000 or £6,000 in Scotland and elsewhere to meet it, In 1848 it was suggested that it wonld be a saving of interest to borrow that money of the trustees ont of my patrimony, and notice was given to the bondbelders in Beotland that they would be paid at a certain time. Mr. Leman pre- pared the mortgage deed for the trustees over my Yorksbire estates; but after the preparation of the mortgage had proceeded nearly to completion, and much expense bad been incurred therein, he told me he Hane discovered what he ought from the fist to have known—that the trustees could not leed the trust money without the permission of Mis. Norten and myeelf in writing—snd he in- formed me, further, that she wou'd not give her per- mission unless 1 conrented to give her au addition of £100 to her allowance, making it £500, instead of £400. 1 was driven ioto @ corner by this onex peoted discovery, and I had to submit to the ad- dition. in 1851, my younger son’s expenses at Oxford in- creasing, and my own expenses in Yorkshire being greater to keep np the rents, in the then dep: state of agriculture, I learnt that Mrs. Norton had been left £500 per annum by her mother, from whom l was not aware that she any expectations. I then proposed to her a reduction of her allowance, which she would not accede to; and after she had received her mother’s legacy, and for some time en- joyed it, 1 did reduge it £300 per annum, but which she has never accepted. Now as to her access to the three children, My first idea upon her leaving me was to place them with herself, and I never denied her reasonable ac- | cers to them; but she made three different attempts to carry them cff—trom Story’s-gate, from hes and | trom Wonerah, and she resolutely retased to guar- antee me against similar attempts, ber object evi- dently being by every means and pretence t» excite | uiblic sympathy on the subject of the children, and | fr which I gave her no grounds. 1 was reaponsible | for their maintenance and education, and I dreaded her intention of taking them abroad. J therefore ultimately sent them to my sister's, Lady Menzies, in Scotland, providing them with a tutor; they were thea rent to Dr. Buckland, at Laleham; thence the two eldest went to Eton, and the poor youngest died of lockjuw, resulting from a mere <crateh on his | elbow by a fall from his pony. He died at Kettle- thorve, my place in York+hore, and the moment the fret symptoms of lockjaw and of danger were dis- covered I sent immediately for Mrs. Nortua, but she arrived not until aiter he had expired. Both my elder sons stayed some years at Hton, and then Fletcher went to Lisbon as attaché, with an outfit that cost ne upwards of £400 and an allow- ance of 1300 per annum, which he enjoys up to this moment. Pleicber was Ul at Lirbon, and Mrs. Nor- | ton tok Briosley out there, removiag him from Eton against the advice of Mr. Coleridge, his tator, and myrelf, 1 had muh difliculty ia yettiug him back to England, when I placed bim with a private tutor, Mr. Heatley, to whom J paid £200 per annum, to pre- pare him for college. He then went to University Oxford, and, although I gave him an outiit, | wed bim £250 per anonum, the utmost sum mptre advised, aud which sum was afierwards increased, he got into such difficulties that he is | living abroad, and I am now at an expense for his | | support and maintenance there. ut | these allowances J have sent money at various times suns. My house has always beeu open to receive | them, and they have not untrequently availed them- | selves of itasa home. Duriog their whole lives [ lave paid for their clothing, schooling, and support, | with the exception of their viands at those periods | when they have lived with their mother, and it was one of iny many astonishments on Thursday tw hear ber wpbitshingly state that all 1 had done for them was to pay for their edv“ation. The history of the action against Lord Melbourne was brietly this:—I had observed from the time of | | their close intimacy, Mrs. Norton lad taken less in- terest in our then only child aud in myself. On one | occasion [had seen her arm round his neck, and | | when I remoustrated with her she said, ‘‘ Well, and | | what it I had my Melly round the neck-—what was | | it?’ I was jealous, and mentioned the | Mrs. Sheridan, who quite lulled my suspicions by telling me that he had been her father's friend, and | other circumstances; and on the morning of the 30th ef March, 1586, 1 had no suspicion whatever that their intimacy was ley Cae more than plato- vic. On that morning Mrs. Norton left her home, | leaving her letter boreau by accident open, and 1 saw piles of Lord Melbourne's letters lying in it. She never showed me his letters, saying letters were not meant for two ; and, knowing her particularit about her letters, without looking at oue, I locked the door of the room in which they were, and, giving my servant Fitness the key, gave him the most po- sifive orders that no one should enter the room un- til Mra. Norton returned, in order that she might | see that they were untouched, and just as she Lad | left them. 1 then took my children to the country, but the | next day was surprised to receive letter from Fit | ness, to ay that Mr. Charles Sheridan, Mrs. Norton's brother, bad come at six o'clock in the moraing and asked for some ers oft of the bureau for a publi- cation Mra. Norton was then engaged on, and that he had permitted him to take them. lcame to town immediately, and found that the bureau had been emptied of its contents. | then, for the first time, suepected something wrong. 1 | searched about, and found a small writing desk in | the room which had eseaped observation. I opeue it and found the two or three letters of Lord Met- | bourne which were produced at the trial, and one or | two letters and papers of a much more icious clas | racter, written by a gentleman at Wasthourne. I | scolded Fitness for his disoledience of orders. He | | said he had told Mr. Charles Sheridan of the strict or- ders | had given him, but Mr. Charles Sheridan said Mrs. Norton must have her writings for the pub! tion she was engaged on, and he then allowed him | to go into the room acd take them away. He also admitted that money had been promised to indtice bim to give them np, and | well remember my obser- vation, that he had better give it to au hospital or some charity, for it would never do him good. Mr. Charles Sheridan was wubparnaed at the trial | to prove the abstraction of the letters, aud why he | was not called I never knew. ‘This very Fitness soon afterwards was appointed a messenger at the Treasury as a reward for his treachery. Sir W. Follett. waa a stranger to me gency J showed the documents { writing desk to him, and by his advice I w in all that followed. Iby his direction i jes were first made respecting the gentlemgn who had ocea- | sioned our immediate quarrel, aid who had been | seen with her that morning, and then respecting one or two others, but no suficient evidence was found. | Then a negotiation for a separation was entered | upon, and it was not for some weeks that the evi dence of aman who lad been in my service some time previons came to my knowledge. dence was disearded at the trial; but circu have since come to my knowledge which von me to believe that ho was the witness of trot’ suited the defendant's counsel in that action to give ita political complexion; but | solemnly declare, upon my honor, that not a single person of sthe tory y any other party persuaded me to bring it, and no communication whatever had | with Lord Wynford | or any other persor conn d with politics about it | twnatil after the trial was over | hin, @ * rtain sobicitations | mede hy bor partes im politics bene | wonld not | pioceed with the ection; he is aware how my wit | but in my din the guided | Mr. Corrie, my aol In addition to | | tensions | lands and the lowlanés of rugged Scotia. There resses were molested and tampered with in town, an? that it wee at their own request come of them were sent to the couotry, where they were nevertheless followed wnd persecuted. T find from the report that Mrs. Norton said on Thursday that I had claimed the copyrights of her works from her publisbers; this statemeut I have to deny in the most distinct and emphatic terms. I bave never, direotly or indirectly, made claim whatever to her copyrights, the benetit of w! has always been wet by me to enjoy without let or hindrance, and until I was preparing for the trial I never even inquired as to the amount of them. What did occur with regard to her eopyrights was, that my sglicitor, to prove that her income has ex- ceeded £1500 per annum, did institute an iaquiry among her p rs, several of whom were sab- poepaed to attend. T heard her refer to her copy: righte, but did not bear her use the word “ claim.” I thought she referred to the ji my solicitor bad made, and nently used the words, “ My solicitor did.” Had word “ claimed” actually reached my ear, I should have doubted their ac- ae in conveying to my mind go great a falsc- hood, A mort abeurd and falee it jon was given by Mrs. Norton as to my ture of “‘Greenacre;”’ the joke involved in such a signature was but a poorone, tut she forgets to state it originated with her- self, by her adopting, in her letters to me, the name of ‘Hannah Brown.” With to another mat ter, Mrs. Norton, in her letter to the Times, uses these words:—‘‘ Because, as I have stated, if it is not a valid contract, the creditor may be utterly cheated of his money, if (which God forbid,) 1 should copy Mr. Nortop; and also fling off, a Baas of law, my liability to them.” Mrs. Norton, in this quotation, refers'to the plea of her coverture; now it 80 ba) pens that within the last few weeks a poor man, Peter Dooladdy, came to me and showed me a notice thet he bad received from the Westminster County Court, informing him that Mrs. Norton would lead coverture in an action which he had there brought against her for wages due to bim, and | un- derstand toat she has given a sunilar notice to seve- ral others of her creditors. ‘ Lord Melbourne promised me the appointment of lice magistrate before he visited at our house, or efore, I believe, he even knew Mrs. Norton. Lord Eldon had appointed roe Commissioner of Bankrupts in 1827, and when such appointment was abolished by the constraction of the Bankruptcy Court in 1230 or 1831, I ecnsidered that I had some claim on the Home Secretary, having received no compensation for the hes of my situation. 1 must add that the acceptance of the police magistracy necraney involved the relinguishment of my pro fession. Mr. Trail, the receiver of my rents, proved on Thursday that my income from every source did not average £2,400 per year. It is true, therefore, that the agreement of 1648, to allow £500 per year, was not conditional upon the relinguishment of en allowance from Lord Melbourne’s estate. It is not true that I ever said or suggested the con- trary. It is true that after Lord Melbourne’s death, and when I was informed of such an allowance, I required Mrs. Norton’s solemn assurance that she bad never reecived, and wouid not receive, an income from such a source; that at ove time that solemn assurance was given; that at another the bare sng- estion that any such benefaction from Lord Mel- oes had been accepted was treated as an insult, and that, nevertheless, upon obtaining access to her bankers’ booke, 1 ascertained that she had actually received that allowance from Lord Melbourne's estate from 184). It is not true that I refused to orm the agree- ment of 1848 because it was made between man and wite; but it is trne that the agreement, having been ofa renee ane not of a permanent nature, and the amount wed under it being necessarily de- pendent peo the amounts of our respective incomes, Yaa, in 1851, upon Mrs. Norton’s income being in- creased by £600 a year upon her mother’s death, while mire was, from various causes, diminished, propose to reduce the~£500 to £300, which I was afterwards willing to increase to £400. It is also true, that down to March in the Jast year (1852), since when, and from the year previous, the amount of the allowance has been the subject of dis- cussion, I allowed to Mrs, Norton the undiminished sum of £500 a year; that, consequently, for several years she bas—and that even by ber own admission —been in the receipt of an income of at least £1,500 ayear,and always has had an income far larger in proportion than mine; and yet she has incessantly contracted debts with numerous honest creditors,very many of whom are at this moment unpaid, and in- stead of applying her abundant means to the pay- ment of those debts, has driven the creditors to re- sort to me, oppressing me with litigation and costs, and impairing my already crippled means, which should have been applied to the maintenance of my- self and my two sons, both of them just entering life. Itis under these circumstances that | ask cn whem it is that the coarse but serious charge of cheating creditors may be truly made. 1 am, sir’, your obedient humb'e servant, 10 Wilton-place, August G. C. Nonrox. he Fishery Claim of Lo:d Su-ling. [Frem the London Times, Aug. 23 | Catainly the last Yankee hit upon the fisheries question does credit to the acuteness of the national charaeter, As many of our readers as take an inter- est in onr codfish disputes with our transatlantic cousins will no doubt remember that the case made out in favor of the United States’ claims is not what the lawyers would call a clear one. Historically, or legally =peaking, the claim, indeed, amounts to no- thing at all; but then the Washington diplomatists have arguments at their disposal drawn from a gen- eral survey of nature and her produccions. Thesea is 80 deep—there are so toany codfish in it—it is so wanton in the English fisherman to wish for a monop- oly when there is enough for all. There really is | something in all this so far as it goes; the sea,no to Lisbon, Germany, and !taly for the support of my | ki * doubt, is deep—codfish are many. If is a pity that the United States fishermen should go home with empty ships by virtue of a treaty. The inter- est are, besides, somewhat remote; so, no wonder English statesmen are not averse to come to a decision upon the matter on the coo of good nature and good neighborhood. We are disposed to yield somewhat of strict right, just as a good-humored railway traveller would yield somewhat of his legitimate space to a corpulent fel- low-traveller, rather than have a disturbaoce. This is well enough; but, on all grounds of diplomacy or international law, the United States fishermen have as much right tocast their nets in the waters in ¢ispute as they would have t) angle in the Serpen- tine. Now, not content with thei actual position, and doing that which would appear the obvious course under the circumstances, our friends in the States are, it is said, about to turn their plea of ood vicinage into one of strict legal right. They fave introduced upon the scene the Perkin Warbeck of codfish in the shape of a sham Warl of Stirling. ‘This individual, it will be remembered, endeavored to wake out bis right to the title to the satisfaction of the House of Peers, but signally failed. Like a longheaded Scotchman, as he no doubt is, he uppears next to have asked himself in what por- tion of the world his mockery title would be likely to stand him in best stead. No one could for a moment doubt that the States are the most fa- vorable market for aristocratic pretensions. If @ man with a handle to his namo, as the vulgar phrase | Tun, feels that he does not get so strong a dose of adulation in Europe as his heart would desire, let | him spend a few months among the citizens of the great republic, and he will come back to Euro) prepared to subside into plain John Smith for term of his natural life. But the Warl of Stirling has a double claim to American respect. Not only is he @ nobleman-—or at least claims to be one—but he carries in his pocket grants of all the codish that ever swam, or will swim, in the seas im one pockst, and probably a grant of all the egz-sauce in the world in the other. He bases his claim oa bis he- reditary rights by virtue of four charters, granted in 1621, 1o2s, 1627, and_ 1623, to bis ancestor, Sir William Alexander, of Menstrie, Scotland, Viscount of Canada, Viscount and Karl of Stirling, and Earl of Dovan. There is a one concatenation of names to tickle the imagination of a republican diplomatist! We can only eay, if our American friends permit themselves to be guiled with these preposterous pre- reat will be the joy throughout the bigh- will not be any conceivable class of property in any portion of the habitable globe to which a Caledonian will not make himself out to be entitled by virtue of some grant or another. When pseudo claims are held to be marketable ware, a great fil'ip will be ad- ministered to the ingenuity of dealers in such com- mercial articles. How fectly the thing can be accomplished is proved by the collection of memoirs which were given to the world from the Paris press, when public curiosity desired such food. Why should not our American friends take a bold stoke of it atonce,and buy up the grants given by the Po to the crowns of Spain and Portugal just about Co. lumbus’ time? We ourselves have a claim to sove- reignty over broad France; to be sure, some idle pemons might say that we had formally given it up, mt we are not indisposed to treit with the wet of Washington for its sale. It will always be competent to them to treat the renvncfation as a rullity: indeed,» good many fine things might be aid upon that side of the question. Of course the difficulty remains as to taking possession, but. that is a purchaser's question. The Mmperor of Austria lately was, aud may be still, for onght we | know, King of Jerusalem. A bid for the Holy Places jnst now might be a keen stroke of baslyes d ) with the fisheries. Has not tie | Stirling parcbments to show! Besides, bys 1 Robert J.
