brought into the debate, Fox, upon the authority of the Prince, denied that any marriage had taken place. Mrs Fitizherbert was content to let posterity vindicate her, and it was at the suggestion that the mar riage certificate was deposited in the Coutta Bank, not to be opened until a long time had elapsed after her health.
The Fitzherbert epleode was one of many similar incidents in the career of the First Gentleman in Europe, as his courtiers termed him, which led euch unfriendly biographers as Thackeray to rechristen him the First Blackguard in Europe.

A PLUCKY ACT.
Rescue at Sea.
*
We have been informed of a daring rescue which was made by one of the officers of the Canton steamer Wing Chai" on January 24. From the particulars we have it appears that as the "Wing Chai" was on her way to Macao on the date men- tioned those Sf-board saw a Chinese junk caprizo. The sea was rough and choppy at the time, which prevented the boats from being lowered, but the "Wing Chai" was stopped and lifebuoys thrown to the Chinese struggling in the water.
As the people in the water were in imminent danger of being drowned one of the "Wing Chai's" officers juîmped over. board and at the peril of his own life went to the resour. After a great deal of diffi- culty he succeeded in saving three of the Chinese, but the remainder, whose number we are unable to give, were lost:
Such a plucky action deserves the great- ost credit that can be bestowed and the heroic rescue should be brought to the notice of the Humane Society.

CALCUTTA, January 28. A great sensation has been caused by the Government Order publication of prohibiting the supply of nowa and official advertisements to, and withdrawing other facilities from, the Staterman ( rather radical Calcutta daily paper, with the sub- title "Fried of India.")
The reason given for such official ostracism is that in its issue of Jan. 7th, the States man published a confidential Note of Lord Curzon's on "Departmentalism," severely criticising the Secretariat method of dealing with questions-Straits Times.
