A DUEL was foiight on the Arkansas shore, four miles below Memphis, Tuesday, between George R. Phelan and James Iirizziolara, two young lawyers of that city, with Colt's navy revolvers, at fifteen paces, resulting in Brizziolara being shot in the left breast and arm—perhaps fatally—in the second round. The difficulty grew out of strictures of Phelan on the Democratic Executive Committee of which Brizziolara was a member.

DAYTON was painfully startled and indescribably shocked Thursday morning by the announcement of the.sudden death, Wednesday night, of Mrs. Jordan, wife of Hon. J. A. Jordan, Judge of the. Superior Court. Mr. and Mrs.-Jordan were entertaining company at their elegant residence in Dayton Mew, when Mrs. Jordan complained of excessive heat and a difficulty in breathing. A moment afterwards she fainted, and died almost instancy, in the midst of her guests.

The committee on petition in the Corps Legislatif, at the request of Ollivier, have reported unfavorably on the application of the Orleans Princess to return to France.

The French Emperor has been advised by his physicians to go to Contrexville for three weeks, and take the mineral baths there, famous for curing diseases of the bladder.

The French newspapers explain that the petition of -he Orleans Princes, for the restoration of their right to live in France, failed because it was addressed to the Corps Legislatif and not the Emperor.

The fixed idea which possesses the unfortunate Empress Carlotta at the present time, is that loaded pistols and muskets are constantly being pointed at her breast. This idea goads her frequently to such madness that her paroxysms of rage and terror are indescribably shocking.

The abdication of the throne of Spain was signed by Queen Isabella in the presence of all the members of the royal family in Paris, and the several Spanish grandees and Generals. The Queen preceded the act by reading a formal address of farewell. In a letter to the Pope, the ex-Queen notifies him of her abdication, and begs his blessing for the Prince of Asturias, and for Spain.

THE NITRO-OTJ YCERINE EXPLOSION—A NA CCO UNTBY ANEYEWITNESS.

A gentleman who was standing within a dozen rods of the -rear of the train in Worcester when the explosion occurred, on Thursday, states that when the train stopped the rear car was lost to view in a tremendous cloud of dust, 'smoke, and fragments of all descriptions. Immediately succeeding there broke upon the ear a sharp crash. The air was full of debris pieces of blazing muslin—a portion of the freightwere thrown to an incredible height, and, slowly falling, alighted, all ablaze, rods away, in the open fields. Following the roar of the explosion, fragments fell tiiick as hail upon the line of the road and the reels surrounding, and when the cloud cleared awav the results were plainly visible. The last tiiree cars of the train were blown to fragments, and only the fore truck of the third remained. The train stood at thotime upon a grade, or embankment, high above the level of the street, so that only onethird, perhaps, of the buildings alongside were above the rails. The other side was open country. For several rods Uie buildings were demolished. Laths and plaster were blo\vn to the winds as one would knock the ashes from his cigar partitions were blown out, windows and sashes splintered to fragments, bed clothing torn from the beds and flung into all sorts of places, and ruins madfe of what were an instant before secure and quiet homes.

Below the cars and on the track itself the rails were twisted from their placas, the ties were annihilated, and the axles broken- off and driven into the ground for half their lengths. In all directions the shattered and broken iron work told a plain story of the fearful force that had been so suddenly developed. For rods around, the contents of lie cars were scattered upon the track: pieces of cotton cloth, sides and scraps of leather, shoes, furniture, stationery, littered the road. The telegraph poles for several hundred feet were llown to pieces, and the wires twisted into fantastic shapes dropped from such as remained standing. The wheels of the cars were blown to fragments, and one of the palls that play in the rachet of the brake was picked ud half a mile away. It went whizzing into the kitchen of a housewife and

Things that could not, by any stretch of imagination, be useful, were quickly snatched up and secreted. Old pieces of leather, scraps of writing paper, envelopes, soleless slippers, a shred of muslin, afoot or two of wire, nothing was so small as to escape notice.— Worcester (gazette.

[From New York Special to Cincinnati Commercial.] A SECOND EDITION OF THE Mc-

FA RLAND-RICHARDSON CASE*: A case that rivals the McFarland-IUcharj-soncase, has just come to light in this city. Somo five years ago, or thereabouts, Air. Hennessy, the artist, who was then a younger, and, If possible, a more attractive inah than he is now, saw and fell iri love with Mrs. (Amelia Charlotte Ward^ tbe wife oi 'ymmfenSii The introduction took place, weroelieve, and the intimacy was mentioned in the free love circle, which became so prominent before the public through the revelations of the McFarland trial.

Dr. Ward appears at that time to have been the family physician of Mr. Samuel Sinclair, of the Tribune, and there is evidence that the germ of free-love between Hennessey and Sirs. Wood was developed into life amid the same influences which culminated in the tragedy of November 25, at the Tribune office.

Mrs. Ward was much younger than her liusbajid, and Ws -second wife at that, and foundthf! handsome artist a more congenial companion. The husband, besides, was possibly never too forbearing in his behavior, and when the free-lover proposed an elopement, a divorce, and a marriage, she readily consented. She left her husband's house, took refuge in Connecticut, and there commenced a suit for a divorce against Jticr husband, in due form.

Mr. Hennessey made all his preparations for a voyage to Europe with his intended wife. Every thing seemed to be running smoothly enough toward the consummation of the tree-love schemes of the enamored pair, but just here the husband Interfered. He aid not. like McFarland, shoot the freelove disturberof bis domestic happiness, but. contented himself with endeavoring to prevent his enjoying in peace the fruits of this misdoing.

He defended the suit for divorce in Connecticut, and in return not only demanded a divorce for himself, but brought a suit in this State against Mr. Hennessey for damages, for the seduction of his wife. Hennessey was arrested, and only .saved from the Ludlow street prison by bis friends beeoiviinghis bail.

Dr. Ward has, besides, followed him up with all kinds of paragraphs and articles in the public press, so that, the case has become pretty notorious in artistic and literary circles.

On Saturday hvst the Connecticut court granted the divorce in favor of the husband, and against the wife but notwithstandingthis oifiefal adjudication of her guilt, Hennessey lias fulfilled his promise and married her, and the pair of free-lovers have taken their departure for Europe.

CANADA.

The Drift of Public Opinion in the New Dominion—Speedy Peaceful Separation from England Deemed Necessary.

[Prom tlie London (Ont.) Free Press.] It is not an unimportant indication of the tendency of public opinion that, while the Journal de Quebec has hoisted the flag of independence of Canada, the Toronto Globe expresses Itself in tones of unmistakable dissatisfaction at the English attitude toward Canada. No doubt the late Fenian mid has done much to excite prevailing feeling, but the alfair is only incident to opposition. The radical difficulty is not the Feftlan raid, but the condition of affairs under Mfhich it becomes possible. If the United States knew That a descent 011 Canada would be resented as promptly and efficiently as was the insult to the British flag when carried on tlie Trent, General Grant would have been a good deal more active with his proclamation. But it is patent to the world, to the States as well as ourselves, from the mouths of prominent English statesmen as well as from the Press, that Canada must -fight its own battles. Nothing can be fairer than that, we think. In that case, however, we must be allowed to make our own quarrels. It will aever do for England to make the row and Canadians to have their heads broken over it. Nobody would be satisfied with that arrangement, At least among ourselves. What seems to be-needed is that somo "other form of alliance," of which tlie Governor-Gen-erai fcj61ce to us at Quebec, by which England would he relieved of the care, anxiety and expense of this Colony, ana Canada would not bo involved in retribution for acts such as that concerning the Trent, the AlabaYha, or Ireland's "wrongs." The constant, tremor in which the country is placet! is most injurious to it. and the necessity of some Alteration in the existing status is forcing itself upon the public mind everywhere- The Quebec Chronicle, like the Free Press, has long held that independence, guaranteed by France, England and the United States, is the best solution to the difficulty. Hon. Mr. Cauchon, Speaker of the Senate, now advocates independence ih his paper1 the Journal, and even the staid Quebec Gazette, historically conservative, is constrained to say: "Tlie only escape from such a condition of harassment, seeing that the Imperial Government highly approves of the inability or unwillingness ot that of the United States to prevent the recurrence of the wrongs we complain of, is de novo proclaimed to be peaceful separation from the parent the sooner the better. State, and Now, much a4 we deprecate the contingency, we confess'that it does not at all surprise us to find the anrument revived, and we only fear, the Indifference of the home Government—WS^will not say of the people, for we believe they would almost unanimously deplore such a result—will have the effect of considerably relaxing the oppositfon which has hitherto been"made by the Conservative Press, and, in fact, by the Press generally in Canada, to 'Independence.' Ot course, we must be exposed to American raids which cost us millions, and the American Governled by that of Engscene after the mis•Jnvadera are routed, some po Cltangeibill have to be COM em platea."

There can bo no mistake as to the drift of the tkie

Tli^'Ettrl. of Clarendon, Secretary of State for Foreign: Affairs, died at 6:30 a. m., on Monday. He had been Seriously ill for a few days from an attack of diarrhea.

SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.

LordClarendon's public career commenced in his appointment by Lord Grey as Minister Plenipotentiary to Spain in 1833, and is historically connected with various questions affecting British interests at home and abroad up to the date of his death. Scarcely had he made a reputation by his advocacy of the suppression of the slave trade than lie was called to the

House of Lords by tlie death

of his father in 1838, though he did not take his seat till the following session of 1839. In that year he was made Lord Privy Seal in the cabinet of Lord Melbourne, and afterward. Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Under Lord John Russell's administration he was appointed President of the Board of Trade, an office which he relinquished for the then more onerous position ol Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. During his government of Ireland, extending over seven years, the "Irish famine" and the rebellion of Smith O'Brien were seized upon by the late Earl of Derby, then Lord Stanley, as an opportunity of attack upon the liberal statesman and in 1852, Lord Stanley coming into power, the Earl of Clarendon retired from the ViceRegal seat. In 18-j3 he was appointed Secretary of Foreign Affairs under Lord Abderdeon's government, a position which he retained when Lord Palmerston sueceded his former chief after the disasters of the Crimea. In the negotiations which led to the AngloFrench alliance against Russia, and in tlje Paris treaty of peace which ended the Russian war in 1A«, Lord Clarendon took an active part. The least pleasing remembrance of Lord Clarendon is his controversy with the United States Cabinet 011 the question ot the Foreign Enlistment Act, in the discussion ot which he needlessly offended the suseeptibilities.of the American nation.

llOft' THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MAKES UP ITS DISPATCHES.

Confession of One of Its Friends. Mr. Aplin, one of the friends of the Associated Press, has been, writing up its office for Pitinam's 2fagazine for July. Here is an extract from this article:

In order to save expense, dispatches from remote cities, especially those by the cables, are cut down to mere hints. Notwithstanding the columns of European news printed every day, it remained for a member of the association itself to proclaim to the world that the Associated Press had not received an average of a hundred cable words a day since the chbles were laid. Surely, after such iconoclasm, it can be a secret no longer that the two words "Vesuvius grows," were once metamorphosed into tlie following

IMPORTANT -EWS FROM ITAJ,Y LONDON, March 2-3. Telegraphic dispatches ju tat haud from Naples announce that the eruption of Mount esuvius is continually increasing in power and grandeur. Deep rumbling sounds, like detonating thunder, are constantly heard, and the affrighted inhabitants of the neighborhood are fleeing to places of safety. A dense volume of smoke is rising from the cmter, visible a hundred miles away. The ashes and dust fall in clouds, and at night the lurid glare of the flames, reflected in the calm bay, impart to surrounding objects a ghastly and sombre aspect."

GIGANTIC BANKING SCHEME.

to be the Capi

tal of a New International Bank—How it will be Operated—American Securities. A grand financial scheme has been In process of formation during the past nine months which, when fuliy developed, will revolutionize the stock market of the world. It is an international project, with a subscribed capital of 50,000,000 francs, with the privilege of increasing it to 500,000,000 faancs or $1,000,000,000. At the head of the affair are the very best and wealthiest capitalists of England, France and Germany. In this country four of our leading capitalists will have tlie management of the American branch of this great international ink, with one-fourth of the entire capital of the concern... .,

TIIE OBJECT

is to supply the money mart of Europe with our railroad and other State and municipal securities. There are hundreds of millions of money to be had in Europe at from 3 to 4 per cent, a year, whose owners would gladly loan it for our six and seven per cent, securities. The reason that this lias not been done was the want of confidence in those who have had the handling of our securities and the incapability of foreign banking houses to judge which were safe to invest in. The branch of this great international bank to be located here will be made the judges of American securities. If a railway company has a million of bonds to sell they maymake their proposition to tlie branch. If the local directors approve of them after finding that there is perfect security they will negotiate for them, or for a loan on them. On making the loan they will stamp tlie bonds with the authority of the President of the bank, who is to reside in Paris, where the main bank is to be established. They will then be sent to Europe for disposition, under the direction of the general directors. Bills of exchange will then be given against them. The scheme is a necessity of tlie times. There are millions of our lionds perfectly good and secure which would find ready takes in Europe, provided they could have a proper indorsement. People who loan their money for three per cent, may well congratulate themselves upon having an opportunity to invest in bonds which bring six and seven per cent, with a long time to run.

A VETERAN NEWSPAPER TRIO. Thurlow Weed, J. Gordon Bennett and Horace Greeley, three of the oldest and best known journalists in-^he United States, are all, by a singula? coincidence, dangerously ill at about the same time. Mr. Weed started the Albany Evening Journal,' as the central organ of the Anti-Mason party Jn New York, in 1830. now forty years ago." Previous to that, for some years he had been the editor of an Anti-Mason paper in Rochester. We think he was out in.the war of 1812 with Great Britain, which closed fifty-five year* ago. He has been constantly in the editorial harness until the last two or three years.

It has been fully forty years since James Gordon Bennett was connected with. M. M. Noali and J. Watson Webb, our late Minister to Brazil, in the management of the old Now York Courier and Imquircr, froip the ashes of which, phoenLx-likeA sprung.the

Messrs. Weed and Bennett must each be between 70 and 80, nearer the latter than tlie former figure. Indeed we have heard Mr. Bennett's age stated at 84, by those who have known liim very long and very intimately. Mr. Greely is considerably yOunger, probably being in the neighborhood of 00. Of

these editors, Mr. Weed excjlSad-asa 1 and cunning politician, Mr. Greeley as an electioneer and party canvasser, and Mr. Bennett for his ability and versatility in making a popular and readable paper. They all started in life poor. Mr. Weed and Mr. Greeley both worked at the cases as journeymen printers. Mr. Bennett, we believe, when lie first came to this country, was a school teacher. They have all acquired ample pecuniary fortunes, and have acheived distinguished reputations as journalists.— Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE SECRETS OF A MONEY BELT.

A Smart Woman Leaves New York— How She Robbed Her Husband o/ 18,(00—She. Goes to Europe for a Life of

Quietude and Ease. Three weeks ago a well-dressed woman arrived in this ciiy via the Hudson River Railroad. There was apparently nothing wrong about her. She was modest in demeanor and of a taciturn disposition. For two days she stopped at the Metropolitan Hotel, and then went to 150 East Twentythird street to board. O11 Saturday last she went to Europe in the steamer City of Washington. She gave her name as Mrs. Ilfefling said that she hail separated from her husband, and that an equal division ot" property luid been made before the separation. Her share she said.amountod to a trifle over $£0,000, and she exhibited Government bonds and bills to that amount in support of her assertion. When asked why she desired to visit Europe, she replied

I wish to live alone. I shall never marry again. The interest of the money in my possession will keep me until deatli. linve seen enough of life, and only desire quietness and peace."

It now appeals that Mrs. Ilcetlng was the wife of Mr. Hoefling, of Quincy, Illinois. Mr. Hoefling kept a Jewelry shop 011 Hampshire street iii that city for some years, and amassed quite a fortune. Through the advice of some friends he resolved to sell out his business, and seek a better field for operations lit California. This was done. O11 closing up Ills accounts Mr. Hcefling cleared about (?1«,000. Having great confidence in his wife, he gave her St,two with which to come to this citv and buv a stock of jewelry to furnish the California store. Mr. Hu'fllijg was to use the remaining $14,000 In purchasing a place of business in the Far West. At his requtsst, his wife made him a belt in which to keep his money. The wife suggested that for greater security the money should be sewed up in the bolt. Mr. Ha'fiing handed her the money. She walked into another room for thread and a needle, and on returning handed him the belt. The money lay in a lump within it, apparently perfectly secure.

Mrs. Hcefling in due time left Quincy for New York to lay In stock as arranged while her husband, with the $14,000 secure, as lie supposed, in his belt, departed"for California. There he arrived in safety, and commenced arrangements for starting business 011 a large scale, only awaiting tidings from his wife and the New York purchases to conclude operations. The anticipated tidings and the expected purchase never came. Expectation became anxiety, and anxiety grew Into alarm.

The loose cash he had alxni him being exhausted, he had recourse to the belt. Tlie* belt was opened, .and instead of bank notes he found only blank papers—not a cent of tlie £14,000. The wife liau successfully tricked him, and is now in Europe. The husband, l»roken-heartedt has made^no effort to find her^-A'w York Suit. si-

[From the New York Standard.] MURDER OF GEN. GRANTS OLD SCOUT AND SPY.

C. S. Bell Killed in Texas. Ft will be remembered by many of the Standard readers that Bonner, in nls New York Ledger about a year ago, published for several months the personal history and deeds of Capt. C. S. Bell, a .scout, detective and spy for Gens1Gpw*t,"Sherman, Thomas. Sherid&n-uud utllCrs of our'army. After the conclusion of the war, Grant retained him In service, and within a year he, was sent to Texas, where he has been under the command of Gen. Reynolds of the Fifth Military District.

Tlie following letter was received from Clinton, Dewitt county, Texas, yesterday CLINTON, Dewitt Co., Jnne7,1870.

DEAR SIR—An occurrence of .the "most mysterious character has plunged oar usually quiet village Into the greatest excitement. Capt. C. S. Bell, the renowned Union scout and spy, whose war history has been given in the New York ledger, was attacked by live men in the Guadaloupe bottom, about two miles below this place, at a late hour yesterday, and is supposed to have been brutally murdered by them. A negro living on White's plantation first brought the news, and a party, headed by Jack Hal«n, our Sheriff, at once proceeded to the spot, guided by the negro witness of the deed.

A bloody trail, where a heavy body had been dragged, was found, and upon traoing it up the party reached the banks of the Gaudaloupe River, over which the body had evidently neen thrown.

Returning to the spot where the trail first started, three other trails were found and traced by horse tracks and blood drops for 'some distance and lost. A very fine silverhandled navy revolver was found near the scene of the murder, with

Scout." engraved on its handle. Five barrels ol the pistol had been freshly discharged. The negro said he saw the tiring from a distance, that one man was shot off his horse and then live men rode off, leading the fallen man's horse they passed near him, and he saw that three of their party were wounded and bleeding. He then went to the wounded inah, who was dying, hat happening to look up saw two men coming, when he ran into the bottom, and ,then came into town and gave the alarm. It Is generally believed that Captain Bell was the party killed, and Sheriff Helm and a large posse have gone in pursuit of the murtiderers. Yours,

CLINTON.

Somo of the New York papers have heard painful rumors of a personal encounter between Mr. Hastings, of the Commercial Advertiser, ami Mr* Whltelaw Reld, of thG Tribune. In the little unpleajwntness that arose between Mr, Hastings Arid Theodore Til ton—oft which occasion the former expressed a ferocious desir^ to apply a aquasetoed boot to the person it the editor or the Independent—Mr. Reid undertook to act ail a friend, counselor, and-adviser of Mr. Til ton, and urged him to challenge the Hotspur, of the Advertiser to mortal encounter, which Theodore declincfd to do, being a hot gospeler. Thus stands the case now, according to one of the journals: 'fThe friends of Hastings contend that Mr. lield,' In Wood thirsty advice, was prompted by adit, tfments of jjaUousj and a denre to rembvtf", oftt olf any possiffle rivalry! a Republican Journalist as able and poweruil us Mc.Hufttr y( llirinfalM jtiafed In his peculiar and iytehse bitterness. he friends of Mr. Reld, on |hUi qther hand, ver that tliis is only an attefhpt to destroy his usefulness In New York and. paralyze bis efforts to ingraft upon the New York press those advanced principles of journal? ism whicli have ripened in Cincinnati nnd made tlie .press ol that city the glory and terror of the world that there is a conspiracy against him on tiie part of Hastings, George Wilkes, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Dana, and George Jones, to write him cjown and otherwise injure him and that this conspiracy has taken the shape of an effort to create the impression that he Is a 'feeble' man, and generally lucks strength.'"
