From an official list recently published at St. Petersburg, it appears that there are now in Europe thirty-one princes and twentyâ€"one princesses of marriageable age, who have not yet passed beneath the conâ€" . juga‘. yoke, and who are, still open to oflfer. The years during which aprince is called of marriageable age are those between 2s and 40,whi‘e the poor princesses are eli. ‘ gible only between 16 and 28.

Cornelius and Matthew Flaherty who, on a recent visit to Ireland, were captured by the‘llrish police and locked up on suspicion of being implicated in the murder of Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke, have given a full description of their experience of being Ca- nadian suspects. Cornelius, in an inter- view, says:â€"On the afternoon of the 11th of July, shortly after having finished din- ner, we were sitting comfortably in a room in the house of our aunt at Ballyduff, when we were surprised to see three oflicers step into the house. One of them walked up to each of us and tapped us on the shoulder, saying, “You’re my prisoner in the Queen’s name." This was about four o’clock in the afternoon of a Tuesday, and‘ we asked the cause oi our arrest, but no reason was given. We‘ were then , taken to Ballybuoin, and kept in custody until 11.30 in the evening, when they came to take us away again. I (Cornelius) objectedto go out at that late hour on account of Mat’s delicate health, but they paid no attention to what we said, and we were compelled to go to Listowel, some nine miles away. _ On reaching that place we were lodged in the police station, where they wanted to lock me in the cell, but Mat said he would accompany me, and so they let me stop in an outer-room. “'e werekeptthere until one o’clock on the fol- lowing afternoon, when we were taken up stairs to_the office of Mr. Massie, the mar gistrate. There was no examination at all, but the magistrate told us that we were re- manded for eight days until they could get further evidence of our being concerned in the murder of Cavendish and Burke. Then we produced the certificates given to us be- fore we left this city by Mayor Meredith, and having the seal of the city of London, but they said anyone could write that, sneercd at the papers, and hardly looked at the credentials. They next marched us ‘ off to Tralee gaol, which we found in a . dirty, filthy condition. The fare was very i poor, and the dishes seemed not to have 1 been cleaned for a long time. When the doors of the prisoners' cells were opened the stench was terrible, and could hardly be borne at first.

The plaintiff and the defendant lived next door to each other, and the plaintiff traced their engagement to the facilities which the walls of suburban garden undoubtedly afford for love-making. At any rate, as soon as the defendant went away from home he found that he “loved her no longer,” and, as he was in good cir- cumstances and no attempt, was made to deny either the engagement of the breach, thejury awarded the “noble-hearted girl” (as her counsel described her) the substan- tial damages of £1,000.

But he hit upon an inscription from the wall of that theatre to which St. Paul would have entered, but “the disciples suffered him not.” This described a procession in which certain images were carried from the temple through the city gates. A fter much search he found the gates, and then at length hit upon the paved way, worn into groves by the wheels of chariots. Little by little he made progress at the city of Ephesus until he reached the temple of the great goddess Diana.

Twenty five years ago the quantity grown was estimated at 338,000 tons, but in 1879 the total was 500,000. The consumption was greatest in the United States. The principal coffee-producing country is Brazil, the cro'p of 1880 being es- timated at 280,000 tons, but when the eman- SUNBEAMS. closes the fact that on May 11 the barque “Gladstone,” of Swansea, cleared for Cara. cas, under the command of Mr. Richards. The “Gladstone” is a small barque of %7 tons register, and built in- Prince Edward Island in 1873. So far the prisoner’s state- ment is fully borne out by the facts above enumerated, and, in coniunetion therewith, it is a remarkable circumstance that on Tuesâ€" day, May 9, the day after that upon which. O’Brien states that he shipped on board the barqu-e “Gladstone,” a man was arrested upon suspicion at Haverfondwest, as an~ swering the description of one of the men concerned in the Dublin murders. He was in the company of a woman, and gave the name of William Ivory, of Kilsmacow, county Waterford, and said he was a farm laborer. He also stated that he had arrived from \Vaterford at New Milford that. morning by the steamer Milford, and that he and his sweetheart were on the r way toSwansea to be marrled. He had on a “ jetty” hat and brown tweed suit, underneath beinga dirty shirt, on which were spots of blood. He accounted for these by saying that they pro- ceeded from his nose, which had hled about a fortnight before. There were no papers found upon him, and he was subsequently released. The remarkable {act is that this man should have crossed from. Ireland by almost the same route as that by which it is now supposed the prisoner O’Brien; travelled. and that within two days after the date upon which the latter had so crossed over. Ax QuIcK Esoarn. If O’Brien left by the mail train from Kingsbridge at a quarter to eight, as the circumstances suggest, his. escape was ac- complished so quickly that the police would not have been apprised of the CHEM} in sufli~ cient time to watch the departure of the train in question, as the bodies of Lord brederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke were not discovered by the police until twenty minutes to eight, and no action would appear to have been taken by the police until some time after that, and the possibility of one or more of the murders havingleft by this train does not seem to have struck the detectives who took the matter up. The Scotland Yard authorities are not taking any present action in the matter of O’Brien’s arrest, the case being in the hands of the Irish police, to whom, however, Mr. Superintendent W'il- liamsonand his staff are ready to render any such assistance as may be required. It is understood that an experienced member of the detective staff connected with the Roth Irish Constabulary will at once be sent to Caracas to receive O’Brien intocustody. The British Government has no extradition treaty with Venezuela; but there is reason to expect. that the authorities there will place no obstacles in the way of sending the prisoner to Ireland tor trial, especially as the reports to hand state that he has been ar- rested on his own confession. Additional particulars telegraphed from Swansea com earning the man O’Brien, alias \Vestgate, confirm the statement of his having shipped on tho barque “Gladstone” at that port. It appears that about the date named he ac- costed aship runner close to the canal at Swansea, and asked for a boarding-house, explaining that he had a little money. The runner asked him if he was a fireman, and he answered that he was both a fireman and a sailor. He lodged for a few days at a hotel in the Strand, Swansea, the landlady of which describes him as being very dirty, poor, and much mentally depressed, and that he avoided speaking to any one. He was shipped on the “ Gladstone” as a pier jumper. \Vhen leaving he gave the address of his wife in Dublin, arrangin,<.,r that part of his salary should be sent to her, and this has been done. He admitted to the landlady of the Museum hotel that he was a native of Dublin. In England the belief gains ground that the story of the man Westgate, who was arrested in Venezuela on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish, has some foundation in fact. The London Daily Telegraph sums up a. number of suspicious circumstances : The murder was committed between seven o’clock and a quarter-past in the evening of May (5, in the Phoenix Park. Seven minutes’ walk from the scene of the tragedy is the Kingshridge terminus of the Great Southern and \‘Vestern Railway of Ireland, whence the mail train for \Vaterford departs at a quarter to eight p.1n. O'Brien could catch that train at once after the commission of the crime, and arriv- ing at “latex-ford early on the following (Sunday) morning could gain the steamer which leaves the North wharf there at seven a.m. for Milford, thence proceeding to Swan- sea by rail, arriving at the latter port on the Sunday afternoon or evening. According to the prisoner’s statement he shipped on the Monday (May S) on board the harqne ‘ ‘G-lad- stone,” bound for Caracas, and, in further corroboration of the prisoner’s story, a refer- ence to the reports of the outward sailings of vesselc from Swansea about that date dis- cipation of the negroes is complete, as it will be in twenty years, the question is whe- ther the coffee planters will be able to find laborers enough to keep ugthis high, total. Next to Brazil come the utch Indies, in- cluding Java and Sumatra, into which the cultivation of coffee was introduced by Van Hoor in 1669. It is only within the last quarter of a centu~y that the (offees of Ceylon and the East Indies have been ex- ported in any quantity, but at the present time the export of Ceylon coffee is 40,000 tons, and of East Indian coffee over 30,000. The coffee plant has been found to do well in some parts of Africa, such as the region of the Mozambique and the Cape Verde Is- lands; but it has not answered at Sierra Leone, on the Guinea coast, at Natal, or in the Cape Colony. Attempts are now being made to acclimatize it in the Fiji Islands. .__«¢o 4‘-.>oom. A singular complication has arisen in con- nection with Westgate’s visit to Swansea. Mr. Williams, an officer of the Board of Trade, shortly after the Phoenix Park assas- sinations, saw a. suspicious looking man loitering about the doors of the Mercantile Marine offices, Swansea. He entered into conversation with him, and found that he not only answered the newspaper descrip- tions of one of-thc men wanted in Dublin, but that he was a native of Dublin and had just arrived from that city. He appears to have shipped 011 board the “Neva,” for Leghorn, in the name of Evans, but on a hint he was arrested by Detective Jones, of the Swansea police, and then gave his real THE PKG}le PARK ASSASSINS.

The Swansea police described him by telegraph to the Dublin police, who replied that the man named Harwin, giving the very address quoted, had been arrested in Dublin on sus- picion, but had been discharged, as there was no evidence against him. Harwni‘tlien admitted to the Swansea police thatyhé'lhad been arrested on suspicion in Dublin, as stated. He was eventually discharged from the custody of the Swansea police and pr0< ceeded to Leghorn.
