Stanhope will move in the Supply bill a reduction of Webster's salary as Attorney General.
In announcing the death of Mandeville, O'Brien 'eclared in the Commons to-day that Mandeville had been murdered by brutal treatment in the Tullamore prison. He was kept many days on a diet of bread and water, and would have died of starvation but for compassion of the officials in giving him small scraps of food. He never recovered from his sufferings under that treat- ment.
The case which the Attorney-General said he could prove made it inevitable that further action should be taken, but by whom? If the letters attributed to Parnell were genuine, if the Attorney-General believed them to be true, and if he also believed the other allegations contained in the Times articles, then he must believe that he and the Times hold in their banda proofs that would convict Parnell, Davitt and others of conspiracy to murder. Now he dared.] the Attorney-General to put him and Parnell in the dock. Loud and prolonged cheers. If the Attorney-General did not take up the challenge he made to him from that Glasgow platform he would put it in a letter on Monday morning and he would either compel him to admit that "there was no proof that he was guilty of conspiracy to murder, or he would make him, if he believed he bad these proofs, cause him (Davitt) to stand where he ought if he were guilty. [Cheers.] If In the Commons O'Brien asked Balfour what neither the Attorney-General nor his Govern-fficial information there was in regard to the death. ment put them in the dock it was because they of Mandeville and whether the Government knew that these allegations were but the weapons would take any measures to secure an adequate of a cowardly moral assassination. This was inquiry into the causes of the death. the only way in which these charges could be sifted to the bottom and how the truth could be made known to the people of Great Britain and Ireland. [Cheers.] There was no shirking on this issue. The Government and the Times were confederates in this case, and he reiterated his challenge.
O'Donnell writ s to news agency that his counsel adopted the mode of procedure taken in His suit against the Times at the instigation and of the unasked advice of two eminent Glad- stonian members of the House of Commons, The gentlemen, both of whom are lawyers, urged that they would be completely exposed if that paper were compelled to show its whole hand. They insisted on reserving all the material evidence, including that of O'Donnell, for rebut- ting the case. O'Donnell's" solicitor also writes to contradict the Parnellite denial of knowledge of the case, He states that Davitt/wrote in February, offering, on behalf of Parnell, every assistance in his power. Since then they were ncquainted with everything that had transpired. Parnell requested that O'Donnell return from Italy for the purpose of having a private, inter- view.

NEW YORK, July 10th... The British steamer Tyrian of Glasgow arrived at Philadelphia from Fort Antonio yesterday. They had a thrilling experience on the morning of the 2nd. Just after midnight Captain Haight, the Commander, left the bridge in charge of Chief Officer McCarty. It was calm and the sky was clear. Suddenly, and without warning the fore part of the Tyrian was lifted high out of the water, while her tnfftail went down to the very surface of the sea; then, almost as soon as those on board realized that something was wrong, the vessel settled down again. A second fierce blow was dealt her

A remarkable story, involving the marriage of a lather to his own daughter, was made public yesterday. The parties are Polish Hebrews and the inan's name is said to be Isaac Waldorff. He is a merchant on the east side. He was married in Germany about twenty years ago, ❘ but after two months he left his wife and came to this country. He prospered in business, married a new wife and was left a widower a few years ago with three children,
Last year he met a Helew girl in distress, on Broadway, who had just landed and had wandered away from Castle Garden. She said her name was Mina Sterling, and Waldorf took her to his home and gave her a night's lodging As she showed a fondness for his children he dismissed his housekeeper and engaged her.
A few months later he married her. She kept in communication with her mother and recently wrote for the latter lo come and visit her, When the mother arrived she recognized her daughter's husband as the man who had married her in his youth and was the father of her child, now his wife.
Waldorff was in utter ignorance of the fact that he had a child in Germany of the identity of his wife. He sought counsel of the rabbi of his congregation and the matter was referred to
