~ DEMOTRACY ABROAD, Its Bold Front in the British Empire. ROYALTY ON THE WANE DECIDEDLY. Trying to Coax tho Irish Lion in Vain. DISRAELI'S SCORN FOR THE JOINT HIGH, Have President Grant and Secretary Fish Been Overreached by De Grey and His Colleagues? CARING Cross HOTEL, LonDon, April 24, 1871. } A hundred thousand of your daily readers never Saw this spot, where Iam writing for their informa- tion, but which, with the Langham, 18 a favorite resting place for the American who visits the Bnitish metropotis. The place combines American freedom with English comfort, and substantial ‘cheer. Ihave Just now left the congenial soctety of the Hon. Auberon Herbert, brother of the present holder of the ancient Earlaom of Carnarvon, who Is tory peer and a leading Freemason im this coun- try. Mr. Herbert is unlike his brother, and in mothing more unlike than in political views and epinions. Mr. Herbert, by birth, education and means, is ‘noble,’ in the old acceptation of the mean- {ng ofthat word. But he 1s the radical momber of Parliament for the radical manufacturing borough of Nottingham, where the radical Mundeils, ‘Was raised and now lives, and where A. T. Stewart & Co., of Broadway, have a branch establishment. ‘The term “radical” here answers to the name ‘dem- ecrat”’ with most of your home renders, Mr. Her- beri is a democrat then, He has avowed his be- Mef in THE CURSE OF CASTE, and wonders at some folks who woulda foster its pernicious growth in the White House at Washing- ton, and even in the Fifth avenue of the City of Charities, He fully believes and devoutly hopes that QUEEN VICTORIA WILL BE THE LAST OF HER LINE, and that the House of Commons, with the Prime Minister at its head, will be in name as mucn as in fact the rulers and government of Great Britain and her dependencies. Twenty years ago this would have been treason. A momber of the Fenian Bro- therhood saying half a3 much half as openly, bat in Oork, would be in prison irons within five min- utes alter his utterances. There 13, however, @ silent but certain growth of political and social opinion and feeling in this metropolis, which has been maturing since the death of the late Prince Albert; and such opinion and feeling, not con- fined to any particular class or creed, is opposed to hereditary monarchy. The Queen, in her unfortu- Bate retirement, has had for years the stiong and unhappy presentiment that she is the last occupant of the throne that has given so much wealth to her family in England and Germany. In an overtaxed eommunity the cost and utility of royalty are sure to be deeply scrutinized by the taxpayers, and more certainly so when representation accompanies taxa- tton, as by the effect of the recent Reform act it now oes in this country. The licentious private life of tis Royai Highness the heir to the throne, and the absence of indication, in any other mem ber of tho foyal family, of developing qualities of fitness to govern a nation, aro additional reasons for looking into the future for great and radical changes, which the hand of death may at any moment cause to arise. ‘The undisguised want of sympathy expressed by she sovereign with the leading religionists on the one hand and the leaders of fashion on the other induces expressions in return of pity and neglect, Tbe only lever thing happening of late in connection with the Court of St. James was the levelling down tho royal marriage law, which proceeding has already set matroniy Peeresses to play the matrimonial game of speculation and foretell uaious between the grandchildren of the Queen with members of aristocratic families in England and Scotiand. DEMOCRATIO PRINCIPLES are nolonger valgar. Tne wealthy representative im Parliament of the centre of the silk trade here O4r. Brocklehurst) recently astonished his hearers in ® corner of the dining room of the House of Com- mons by forcibly arguing in favor of an elective vor- sus an hereditary monarchy. Democratic clubs ara forming in every manufacturing town, and the workingmen’s trades unions, the largest in the ‘World, are assuming their natural form and aspect of eenoeans Institutions for promoting political uality. egotiations are in progress for establishing a gel residence in Ireland for the Prince of Waies. 9 Whole thing is laughed at by politicians. Tho day has gone by for that sort of thing, Justice and conciliation twenty years ago would have wrought ed in the gem island of the saints, But land- rdism, red Cure policeilsm and prisonism bave dono their work, and are atitl having their day, and fmdeed must continue to sway the destinies of old Ireland until the accomplishment of the old tory ‘Wish. that the Atlantic wave should spread over the country for twenty-four honrs, that it might be re- Beep by humble English peasants and skilful h farmers, which unholy wish may God frus- tate. As was expected, this year Is witnessing ‘oD’ A TREMENDOUS EXODUS to the ‘land of the free and home of the brave.” We citizens of America hail with delight the emigration of the warm-hearted, laborious Irish people to the United States. We go and share those bound- Yess lands, and in peace and matchless freedom every man shall enjoy his own homestead and ‘worship his God under his own fig tree, Queens- town ana Liverpool are swarming with emigrants, Qnd itis well known by them now ably and con- sidorately the noble city of New York-provides for their reception and guidance when the broad ocean has been crossed. In conversation with Sir Thomas Bazley, M.

The Qtaintegration of his Cabinet has worked upon his very keen ft ae ad of temperamen The tile occasioned by the wonderful successes of the jan arms is quietly subsiding, and JOHN BULL, VAINGLORIOUS, now declares his ability to cone with any European enemy who may present himself. in the leading Hitical club houses of the aristocracy and in the bby and dining rooms of the House of Commons men speak now With confidence on subjects which a few weeks ago occasioned much alarm, ‘tne Glad. stonians claim the merit of Enghsn diplomacy of having persuaded President Grant to DISGRACE THB VETERAN SUMNER, ‘Qo stionce and extinguisi the Fenian celebrations in Washington and elsewhere, and to withhold an Am- dor from St, James until a simootiier way had been made by the Koyal Commission, The crownlag loce Of self adulation transpires when they assure ir friends that we Amicricans have gamed novh- ~ by the High Commission beyond the harmicss indulgence vouchsafed io Washingtonian winers and diners who had supped and chatted with live lords and learned doctors of international law.

There are not wanting those on ih sides of the Aulantic who deprecile any mixing of freemasonry with international politics. Tie sober men of each political side i London look upon the Commission as a sham and a delusion— ge"ving a3 political capital for Gladstone and Grant pro tempore, and to be thrown into oblivion with- oat having served any international purpose. THE INFLUENCB OF THE HERALD on English Parilamentary opinion is becoming more and more remarkaole. ‘The varied character and authenucity of its news, the ability of its original expressions on passing events, its high moral tone and influential bearmg upon the religions of the world, bave made it approach to a@ cosmo- olitan preiion, in journalism that no other leaders of the press have hitherto dreamed of, It ts much looked tor at the great Reform Olub and the principal hotels in London as any publication ever can be. And its influence 1s, beyond question, with the proud aristocracy of Belgravia. It is by no means infrequently quoted by penton. in bota bouses of Parliament, and although the sources uf thelr information 1s not invariably acknowledg it 1s well known by their immediate friends an leading opponents m_ whence they obtain their Inspiration and tacts, May the prodigious power ef the HERALD be always, as now, exerted for the govd of humanity generally ana for the benefit of America and Americans in particular! A‘ no time oould tat power be more useiully exerted than pit when wuny of the aristocracy of England sull o pathize with the Southern States, and would be glad if they revolted to-morrow—when this same section of the aristocracy hope, by the arts of diplomacy, to entrap the American Senate into the adoption of a convention that would disvogard the manhood of Columbia—when the very weakness of the incompetent occupants of office in Washington 1s the strenguh upon which Enropean diplomatists rely, The comity of nations and high sounding gp eeu taken from Grotlus or Vattel or Wheaton may be quoted, and inter- national law may be evoked by those who may uso dificult terms without anaerstanding anythiog but the craft of an ambassador or the trick ‘of a poll- tician, ‘the theory of international law assumes that commonwealths are relatively to each other in a state of nature; and as the component atoms of a Natural society must, by the fundamental assump. tion, be insulated and independent of each other, with no higher power connecting them, it neces- sarily follows the very idea of auy ponte law is excluded and the law of nature is left to be de- termined or Interpreted by the exigencies of the pass- inghour., It has been well said that the earliest notion of a law 1s not an enunciation of a principle, but @ judgment in a partieular case. The rude Judgments given by Kings in early ages were viewed as diviue inspirations; then powerful aris+ tucracies in succession claimed for themscives the powerful monopoly, of the knowledge and administration of the Jaw. When codes were introduced and the age of unwritten law was succeeded by times now con- tunuing, in which the lex scripta and the lex non serpta Mutually infuence and regulate each other, wae divine right of potentates gradually disappears, the PRIVILEGES OF CASTE fade away and the dignity of man asserts itself, to obtain through impartial legislation the greatest happiness for the greatest number, ‘ni the process of tine, during which international law has growa, rules have fluctuated and couven- tional law has bollly encounterea prevailing rules, Had Bismarck and Moltke to deal With the presentation of the Alabama claims would any statesman in Gladstone’s cabinet have dared to counter plead the ciatins of blockade run- ners and inland spies? And tn the teeth of the fact tuat agiand is neither ready to commence a war nor able to contiiue one with our country, we are con- tent to see a patriot disuraced because he is patriotic, and removed from the position where his only fault was patriotism, Sumner knows, because all the world knows, that war with the United States would mean for England provisions at starva- tion prices, manuiactories closed, commerce ar- rested, riots by the people, abdication of the throne, stoppage of payment by the Bank of England and national ruin, To America it would mean one-fourth of the sacrifice made forthe preservation of the Union in the last war, and complete vindication of national honor. ENGLAND WILL NOT FIGHT because she must not, and America cannot obtain her due satisfaction because she has not a sherman instead of a Grant, because citizens are engaged in the business of the hour and say they will not find time to support those who claim for the Stars and Stripes a foremost place amid the flags of nat ons. It remains then for the HE&aLD, as the people's pioneer in the path of national freedom and giory, to demand that the voice of the people shall be heard betore any unholy convention is signed with those whe pray for denationalization as a people and our extinction as a race. The Alabama clatins can watt without lessening our commerce or reducing our in- fluence in Europe.

HIS SPEECH IY THE REICHSRATH ‘What He Thinks About the Troubles in France. No French Territory or Fort to be Evacuated Until the Conclusion of a Definite Treaty. The Dangers from an Accumulation of French Forces—The Increased Expondituro of Ger- many—No Faith in French Promises— No Inter-erence in France Unless the Interests of Germany Are Endangered, Prince Bismarck made the following speech in the Reichsrath on April 2 As I could not be present at the last debate on this question, I now take the Iberty to give some explanations regarding the situation. The united Aergromons hoped, at the conclusion of the pre- iminary peace at Versailles, that the execution of this treaty as well as its completement by a deti- nite treaty of peace would not meet with any fur- ther diiiicuities, They therefore thought it unjusti- flable to make new fnancial demands in this session of the Reichsrath, as they were led to hope that the payments for ~ tne support of tho Germam army of occupation us well as the first instalment of the war indemnity would be made with the supulated regularity by the French government, have learned that the French gov- ernment had a short time before the outbreak of the Paris revolt taken measures to pay we two first milllaras of the war tndemuity in a comparatively short time, in order to bring about an important re- duction of the army of occupation, which was made conditional apon the first payments. By the way, in order to clear up a widespread mis- understanding, I shall here remark that the mere payment o! half a milliard by France would not lead to any evacuation of territory, not even to that ot the forts around Paris. The tulfilment of another condition ty necessary for that, viz:—the definite couclusion of peace which must precede it. Having found several erroneous statements on tus subject in the newspapers, 1 beg empha- tically to draw your attention to the thira clause of the preliminaries, It says:— Ercvacuation des déepariments situes entre la rive droite de la Seine vt la fronticre de VEst, par les troupes Allemandes, s’opérera graduellement apres la ratification du trawé de vate dednittyy et le paiement du premier demi-milliard, (The evacua- tion of the departments situated between the right bank of the Seine and the Eastern frontier by the German troops will take place gradually atter the detinite ratification of the treaty of peace and ihe payment of the frst instalment.) The pressure which this stipulation ought to exercise upon the early conclusions of definite peace has hitherto not been effective. £ cannot say that the negotia- Uons at Brussels are progressing as rapidly as I should have expected under the present circumstances, On the contrary, 1 cannot help being under the impression that tae French govern- Ment still entertains the hope of obiaining other conditions at a later period, Wien stronger than at present, (Heer, liewr.) ‘tempt to abate the terms of the preliminary treaty, We shail not, however i may be at- tempted from another directlon—(Bravo)—whether it bein the financial or ihe territorial part of the agreement, ‘The discharge of 60 large a number of prisoners as were under our charge presented another danger under the existing state of aifairs, AS 8 guarautee against the perils which mignt re- suit from tuo large an increase of the French army by the union of the young troops with the dis- charged prisoners of war, we at first proposed that all the prisoners—the officers by their pa- rele and the rest by the promise of the French government—should be bound not to take service In the Freneh army until the definite con- clusion and the fuifliment of the Treaty of peace. These conditions were rejected by the French nego- tuators as they in one respect found them offensive to the army, and, in another, because they then aiready thought that the army would be needed in the interior, and ougut, therefore, to be raised to ita full force. As a compensation for our demands and aS @ guarantee against this danger, the French ne- gouators, M. Thiers in particular, made us the pro- positon that the Freuch army should be tuterned hind the Loire until the deiinite treaty of eace, 80 that between the Seime and the ire there would have been a wide neutral strip separating the two armies, which would be rohibiied to both, ‘Thus tho’ crossing of tho oire by any body of French troops would be the signal for a renewal of hostilities; that is to say, 16 would amount to a notification on the part of the French government of its inten- tion to renew the war. On account of the pe- culiar state of affairs in Paris it was stipulated as an exception thai forty thousand men oi the French army could remain in Parts to maintain order. The existence of @ French army between tie Seine and the Loire, that ig at Versailles, 1s, therefore, not per- mitved by the preliminary treaty. After’ the out- break of the troubles in Paris, however, it was found that the French troops were not numer- ous aud reliable enough to suppress the movement, and tie government, with which we had concluded the treaty, could only execute it by coming again in the possession of Paris; as they need for this purpose an army between the Seine and the Loire—undoubtedly a stronger one than 40,000 men—we have not objected against the concentra- tion of troops at Versailles, although it is against the supuiations, Having renounced to these guaran- tees, our obligation to return the prisoners ceases as @ matter of course—that 13 tosay, our obligations will only then enter into force when they will be able to fuifll the counter stipulation not to keep any forces between the Seine and the Loire, According to our promise we proceeded with the libera- tion of the prisonors on a large scale. These circumstances, {[ am _ sorry to fay, render @ largor expenditure necessary for us than we coula have foreseen at the conclusion of the pre- liminaries. I do not speak of the protracted malute- hance of two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand prisoners, for the cause of the heavier ex- penditure lies in the inuor affairs of Frauce. By the Cree state of affairs it ig necessary to keep there much er forces than it could have been our in- teniion to keep at the conclusion of the preliminary treaty. The army of the Versailles government 15 estimated at more than one hundred thousand men, If the government will carry out witn this army the task which {t has assumed, ‘wo trust to its loyalty for the execution of the treaty; but if it fails in this task, it is impossible for us to foresee what may result from the unton of the opposing forces, and under what leadership may be fused the existing elements of both os We must, therefore, in order to be perfectly safe—and after 80 many sacri- tices It isthe duty of the vernment to adopt a safe course—we must remain strong enough to re- sist all possihle emergencies, every combination of opposing forces, This necessitates large financtal sacritices, all the larger because the French govern- ment has as yet not been able to pay for the mainte- nance of our troops, via—thirty-six million francs per month, Besides that there is the running inter- est of the war contribution. The contributions due on the 1st of March and April have not been delivered, but the French government has promised us that the money owing for these two months will be paid on April 25—that is, to-morrow—and that fron March 1 the funds for the support of our army will come forth regularly. We are convinced that the French government wiil pay tt, if it is able to do so— (laughter)—although I canuot understand why it could not pay this small amount, as we ourselves ir reater part expended the money in ue hide ne JDAIst on the coin, but are sat- ised With the producti i ING Eyer williag bank rinting machine. {Laughter ab le ths Présent overnment should not be able to fulfil its promise we would be again under the deplorable necessity of making requisitions for provisions, a8 our advances to the French for the maintenance of our army, Which they are pound to assume, must have their limit. We have undoubtedly the option to make an nd to the présént state of affairs in France by an interference on our part; but I have not been able to make up my mind toadvise this measure to hia Majesty. (Bravo.) I much fear that unasked mel. dling in these affairs would bring about, I will not say a union, but, at least, a mutual approachment of all pee against us, According to the usual way of the French all tho evils of the situation would be ascribed to the interference 4 are foreigner! — (very good)—and there would @ readiness on their part to ewbrace One another with the endearing words of “Nous Soinmes Francais,” 1 will not use the expression—it would be going too far—but there would be a reconciliation at our expense, Moreover, I should not like to deviate from the programme which his Majesty has set uP in_ his speech of the throne, and according to which we intend to act— the programme of non-interference In the affairs of other nations, ever when the temptation is so great and our own financial interests seemed to urge us to it, Whether our tnterests would be advanced by an interference which would burden us with the moral responeibility of regulating the future of France 1 Jeave it for others to Judge. It 1s possible that we might, by such interference, fortify th overnment which we have recognized; bu it 18 also posaiblo that the government, after Lary | the object of foreign — sup- pada) would find its position so untenabie that it wou id selze the welcome Be age ae to retire, and then we should have the task to make or to dnd for France a new government, with which it would be left to us then to conclude a@ treaty. I, therefore, believe that public opinion and the majority of this Assembly will acknowledge that the government 13 In the right in pursuing this live of conduct, But I am not ready to promise non-interference at any price. This would be considered ag an encourag; ment to po nett for some partios. We have, at dil events, reserved for ourselves the right and the duty to interfere when our rights and interests are endangered. We should not do it for the sake of meddling in foreign affairs, but in order to defend our own.

Lilienthal, Claimant — This case, reported in tho HERALD of yesterday, occu, pled the attention of Judge Blatchford and a jury fora whole month. As the matter investigated is an important one, we give a bricf resume of the facts. As already announced, there was a verdict for the gov- ernment, condemning the property, which was appraised fn the sum of $104,000. ‘The government sought to condemn the goods under the forty-elghth section of tho Internal Revenue law, It was alleged that the property, gonalating ehietly of manufactured tobacco, was held by Mr. Jitenthal, the claimant, with intent to sell ‘and remove the amo in fraud of the revenue law, and for the purpose of iding payment of the taxes due on the tobacco. Mr. Simons, United States Ai Nstant District Auorney, tirat deavored to establish from the books of uccount kept by Mr, Lilienthal that more tobacco had been gold and removed from his estabhahment thar he had paid taxes on; but this was not very clearly shown, if shown at all. He showed, however, that in March, 1965, Mr. Lilienthal return large’ quantity of tobacco ‘as sold, and on which the tax had been paid, when in reality it had not been I, The onject of hs, on the part of ‘Mr. Litenthal, ticipated increase in the tax on the lat o! 1863, He had sold In 1857 @ large quantity of the samo co without again returning tt to the olficiais of the gov- ernment for taxation, Mr, Simons also showed that Mr, Lilfenthal had failed to Keap an account of the quantity of tobacco manufactured by him as required by law, and that in tho year previous to the seizure, 1th3, he had ‘frequently returned a kind of tobacco as Hable to fifteen cents a pound tax, but which the government claimed to be liable to forty per pound, and also that it had been his practice to n large quantities of tobaceo for taxation withont sell- ing them or causing them to Le removed from the factory. On the part of the defendant it was claimed that Mr. Tilfenthal had a right to do ag he did—to return his goods as so'd and pay duties thereon before they were due, even if bi dotug #9 he avolded an expected tneréase of the amount o tax he should have to be responsible for, and that, In point of fact, there was no such increase in the'duty upon tobacco in 1883, and consequently none upon the tobacco returned by Mr. Lilienthal, it was also contended on the part of Mr, Lilienthal that he had a right to retirn the tobacco manufac- tured by him at fifteen cen’s, and not at forty cents, and that he Was not obliged to keep an account of the gooda nor return the amount m nfactured by hin, the law only r quiring him to return the amount of his sales or what he hi removed for wale, Judge Blatchford, who devoted the utmost care and at tion to the trial of this import. ant cause, after handsomely complimenting the counsel engaged on both sides as being eminently titted for the tavertigation of the suit, instructed the jury that tr. Lilienthal was guilty of a fraud in return Ing Hie Goods us sold In, 1855 and_paylug tho tax on. them without eiling or reinoviny them; that it was a violation of the law for a tobacco inanufacturer to pay taxes on his roods before they were due, and that it was also lilegal for im not to keep an account of his mi tinct from fis saler, ‘Tue learned Ju jury whether the tobaceo returned by cerits was subject to that rate or to forty cents, but Lert it rae them io state what Mr. Lilienthal tuought on that sub- ject. ‘The ury were tn consultation about five hours, and finally rendered a verdict of condemnation, A stay of proceedings was obtained by counsel for claim- ant, with the view to prepare a bill of exceptions to the rulfnga of the Judge on the points raised on Mr. Liitenthal’s behalf and on some others arising out of the testimony. ‘The case will immediately go to the Circuit Court en appeal, and, if there decided against the claimant, to the Supreme Court at Washington.

THE SECOND AVENUE HOMICIDE, Trial of Michael Martin for the Alleged Wur- der of Patrick Walsh—The Case to be Sub- mitted to the Jury To-Day by Judge Bede ford. After the transaction of some preliminary business yester- day in the Court of General Sessions, before City Judge Bed- ford, Aes'stant District Attorney Sullfvan moved on the trial of Michael Martin, indicted for the murder of Patrick Walsh on the 17th of March, 1870, when, as was alleged by the pro- sccution, the prisoner took the life of the deceased by stab- bing him with a knife, Counsel in his opening address to the jury claimed that he would present such @ state of facts as would, in his judgment, clearly establish the crime of deliver- ate and wiiful murder, TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTION, The first witness called for the proseention was Eliza Welsh, wife of the deceased, who testified as follows:—My husband, on the morning of the day of the murder, went to work as usual, and came home about two o'clock in the afternoon; witness went out to get deceased a match to light his pipe, and stepped into a Mra, Mahony’s room, on the same floor, for that purpose ; as I stepped to her door the prisoner came up and said (here the witness was violently agitated) “Now Lam ready for any son of a b—h!” wcthis time my husband came out to look for me, and went down the stale about three steps; the next thing I heard was an oxclaination from my husband of ‘ {VM STABURDI I'M MURDERED!

Benjamin Galbraith, ; We announce to-day the death, at an early hour yesterday morning, of Benjamin Galbraith, an old citizen of this city and a prominent member of the New York bar, who had been for many years professionally connected with tna Hera.p. Mr. Galbraith was a native of Scotland, and was born at Greenlaw, in Berwickshire, about the year 1795, He came from a highly respectable fam- lily, well known in the literary world, his brother William having been a teacher of mathematic# in Edinburg and the author of ‘Galbraith’s Mathematical Tables,” and otier scientiti¢ works. The deceased studied at the University of Edinburg, and at an early age evinced great aptitude for mathematical studies, and so pro- ficient was he in his exercises that he attracted the attention of Professors Wallace and Leslie, the lat- ter being Sir John Leslie, the celebrated mathema- tictan and writer on natural philosophy, who waa knighted on the 27th of June, 1832, After a severe competitive examination Mr. Gal- braitn was clected teacher of mathematics in Heriot, Hospital, Edinburg. Ie remained here about elgnt years, performing his duties with ability and suc-" cess, and giving general satisfaction to the govern- ing authorities. On resigning be came to the United! States. This was about the year 1829. Immedlately after his arrival he was appointed Principal of the Mecbanics and Tradesmen’s Schvol of this city,’ then jocated in Chambers street. Quite a number of our now prominent citizens were his pupils, and, all unite in representing him as having been aD eX-, cellent teacher. On his retirement from the school: Mr. Galbraith bought a farm near Dundad, Pa., on which he resided three or four years, ai the exe piration of which time, findmg that agricultural pursuits were unsuited 10 his tastes, he gave up the farm and returned to New York, On returning to the metropolis Mr, Galbratth en- tered the law oillce of David Graham, where he stnded for the legal profession, and in 1840 was admit. ted to the ba His success was so decided from tag be said to have entered upon @ lucrative practice at once. In 1845 he was appointed regular counsel for the N&W YORK HkRALD, & POBI- ton he eid to the day of his death, and the nume- rous duties attached to which were performed by him with noteworthy ability and success. Mr. Gale braith was one of te most thoroughly learned law= yers of this city, Delieving that a knowledge of ail the parts was necessary to proficteacy in the whole, he uid not despise the minor detatls of bis prote elon, which are so olien neglected by other eminent members of the bar, He was @ master in tue art of pleading in actions for libel. He was not an or in the popular sense of the word, but his logal arguments were always full of solid facta, grouped together with great skill and judgment, Which did not fail to impress both judges ‘and Juriea with the merits Of the cases he represented. As & consequence he seldom Lost a suit—ana he was cou- cerned in many of the most important ones wuicia have been betore the eourts of this city. Mr. Galbraith was a thorough Scotonman in nig @ppearauce and mani diis features were nog Without a ccrialn hardness gud ruggedness often seen in the Scotch; but as is the case with many of his countrymen the hard exterior merely concealed ® tender ‘heart and a gentie hand, which never Weurled of doing benevolent deeds, fle was, in fact Just such a Scotchiman as we meet with aud read o every day—a man stern and unbending 1 the per- formance of his duties, blunt in speech and sowe- times abrupt In manner, but one in whom the most implicit confidence could be placed, whose friendships were firm and whose favors were un« limited to the deseiving. Mr. Gatbratth was mar ried, but his wife dicd some years ago without leay-' ing issue. Up to two or three years ago he remained) in remarkably good heaith. No person, im fact, would have supposed that he had reacted his six lieth year, and, indeed, even aiter a long and pain-' fully protracted liness, had reduced and uged him greatly in appearance he still seemed younger than) he remy was. Versonally he Was & most convivial,, hospitable and entertaining gentleman. There was a fund of quict humor tn hin which made his society ulways agreeable. Altogether Mr. Galbraith was @& man of flue atiafaments and high character, and hig dea.b will, We feel assured, be deeply regretted by the very many friends and acquainiauces he pos- sessed in this clly aud elsewhere, Prince Henzl de tn ‘four d’Auvergne. —, Acable telegram mentions a report of the death of Prince Henri de la Tour d'Auvergne, of France. We trust that the report is unfounded, as he was & man of decwed ability and one whose serviced night be required by his country before tong. Tha Prince was (supposing tum dead) desceaded from one of the oldest and most tlisstrious of French families, dating lis descent nearly one thousand years back, from Alfred, created Count of Auvergne vy Charles the Simpie, in the ninth century. There are very few families in Europe who can boast of so long a line of distinguished ancestors as can the family of the late Prince, Prince Henrl Godfrey Bernard Alphonse, chief of’ the branch of Lauraquais, into which bis house has merged and 18 now known in France as that of de la Tour Auvergne-Lauraquals, was born at Paris on the 23d of Octover, 1323, His father was Prince Charles Melchior Philippe Bernard. As tha young man grew to manhood he imbibed those Napoleonic sentiments which M. Thiers did so much to propagate in his histories of the Consulate and the Empire. He was, therefore, prepared for and favorable to the revolution of 1848. The Prince, however, was not & republican, and he aided by tha influence of his name tn overthrowing the repubilc. One of the first to give im his adlesion to Napoleon alter the coup d’étai, he was at once taken into the impertai favor, and in @ few years was created a Senator of France. Inthe Senate he distinguished himself by his liberality of sentiments, while at tha uence of liquor; Martin and bis wice used t the landing and to come out on CALL NAMB} the quarrel about the falling of the ceria was passed over aiter my husband and Martin had several times called each other some hard names.
