Letters from Professor Nordenskjold, on board the Swedish Arctic Exploring steamer Vega, have reached Sweden. The extracts from their contents already published some weeks ago are incorrect, inasmuch that the energetic and gallant explorer has not ex- pressed any hope of getting free from the foo in May, but only by the commencement. of July. He hopes to reach Japan in August. The fears about the safety of the expedition, which have again arisen of late, may therefore be regarded as unfounded.

An application was made, on the 30th ultimo, in the High Court of Justios Queen's Bench division, before Mr Justice Lash and Mr Justice Manisty, in the case of Provand v. Langton and another. This was an action by a firm of cotton merchants trading with China against the firm of Langton and Riley, manufacturers at Manchester, to recover damages for loss they had sustained through the discoloura tion of certain shipments of grey shirtings while in course of transit to Shanghai The question raised was whether the shirt ings were stained and discoloured from milder caused by the size maed in the

An application, however, was subsequently made on the part of the defendants for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence and proceeded on a mistaken view of the facts, and the applica tion had been granted conditionally on cause being shown on the other side against it. The case was to have been argued this week, but, owing to the pressure of bual ness in the Courts, It has been postponed -until the November sittings.
