' In reply to the Marquis of Clanricarde, ' the Earl of JDerby announced that in the case of the Tornado a new trial had been ordered by the Spanish Courts— that trial had, however, not yet commenced; and from what he could understand, neither party seemed anxious to bring the case to trial on its merits.
