GENEBAL SUMMARY. London, October 16. The Hon. Saul Samuel, having concluded arrangements in London in connection with the Pacific Mail Service, leaves shortly for the United States of America. If he completes his business there in time, it is his intention to return to New South Wales in the steamer Macgregor, which leaves San Erancisco in January. New interest has been added to the trial of the Tichborne claimant by John Tine, steward of the barque Osprey, deposing, with great circumstantiality, to the picking up of a boat containing the claimant off the Brazilian coast in the spring of 1854 He further deposed that the Osprey took the claimant to Melbourne. His evidence caused a strong sensation. Henry James, whose seat in the House of Commons became vacant through his acceptance of the Solicitor-Generalship, has been re-elected for Taunton. One of the indictments against Marshal Bazaine, whose trial has been postponed until after the evacuation of French territory by German troops, is that he tampered with the positive orders of the Emperor Napoleon. Those orders were not to jeopardise the army. The rigorous enforcement of the' law against Roman Catholics in Germany has caused the Pope to write to the Emperor William, urging a relaxation of this severity. In reply to this letter the Emperor said that lioman Catholies in his Empire are an organised political party sowing religious discord. He further said that the attitude of the Homan Catholic clergy amounts to open revolt.
