The Jeannette surviors, Lieut Dannenhower, Dr. Neweomde, and Jack Cole, have arrived in New York. Dannenhoweris almost blind. Cole has been crazed with his sufferings. He was in a strait-jacket, Neweomde is unharmed A Paubeb Babonet.—The death is announced of Sir Horatio Henry Wraxall, the fourth baronet, in his 50th year. He was a grandson of Sir Nathaniel William Wraxall, M.P., the author of “ Memoirs of my own Time,” and a brother of the late Sir Lascelles Wraxall. The title passes to his brother, who is married and has a youthful family. The late baronet has for some time been chargeable as a pauper on the Southwark Union, and he died in the Wandsworth Asylum. He at one time followed the proession of a betting man. From a return (says the Napier Telegraph) with which we hare courteously been favored by the Registrar General, it appears that the “ foreign ” arrivals iu New Zealand—that is to say, of persons outside this colony, during the first five months of the current year, wore as follows : —Russell, 77 persons ; Auckland, 1404 ; Gisborne, 12 ; Wellington, 415 ; Napier, 60 ; Nelson, 1 ; Grey mouth, 34 ; Hokitika, 7 ; Lyttelton, 225 ; Timaru, 5 ; Oamarn, 1 ; Dunedin, 1000 ; Invercargill, 850. Total, 4091 persons. The departures were From Russell, 138 ; Auckland, 909 j Gisborne, 8 ; Wellington, 441; Napier, 81 j Nelson, 21 j Greymouth, 80 j Hokitika, 63 j Lyttelton, 176 ; Timaru, 12 j Oamaru, 6 | Dunedin, 542 j Invercargill, 782 ; Wanganui, 1. Total, 3260 persons. This leaves a balance in favor of the Colony of arrivals over departures of 831. The estrangement between the late and present Czar of Russia commended (says the Stockholm correspondent; of an American paper) almost from the day Alexander 111. became Czarovitoh, and had its origin in the unlucky Dolgorouki, whose relations with the late Czar were notorious. When, after the death of the Czar's eldest son, Alexander became presumptive heir, and was married to tho beautiful princess Dugmar, the Dolgorouk, was in the height of her power. After a thousand unreasonable requests, she insisted that the Czar should bring his lovely daughter-in-law to too her. The impossibility of it was made known to her, but she insisted that a stratagem should be used to accomplish her design. The madness of the Czar in agreeing to this preposterous proposal can hardly be estimated, but he invited the Princess Dagmar to a drive with him. He stopped with her at the Dolgorouki’s house and representing her os a lady of high rank, and of ardent devotion to the Royal family, the unsuspecting Princess went in. So agreeable did find her visit that it is said the Ozar would have been glad 1 to have curtailed it. As it was, they were absent nearly the whole day. When they returned the truth came out. Tho indignation of tho Czarovitoh knew no the impress was ill from shame and anger, and the King of Denmark sent a manly remonstrance the indignity that had been offered his daughter. From that to the end was a coldness between father and son that increased os years went on, and indeed, tho Dnohess of Kdinburgh was the only one of his cliildrop with vyliom ths hue Czar was on affoctlonaiD
