TRIAL POSTPONED.

The trial of David Storey, charged with stealing a watch at Switzers, was, on the application of the prisoner, postponed until the next sittings of the Court, in September, no depositions having been furnished.

Speaking of Mr Fox and the "Wellington correspondent of the "Daily Times," the " Post" says:— "He (Mr Fox) has broken down the barriers of gentlemanly felling which have hitherto restrained our public men in debate and at popular assemblies, and set a^ most pernicions example, which VjHft likelihood, will be extensively folflH^p as he has shown to what a great extend a man may go in gratifying animosity against an opponent, while at the same time keeping within the bounds of the law. He has also done what few besi de himself would have perpetrated. Not content with blackening his opponents character and using his utmost efforts to deprive him of the means by which he lives, he also takes advantage of hi 3 position to degrade him in the eyes of the puplic by depriving him of his volunteer commission. Besides, Mr Fox has utterly failed to show cause for this ebullition of spite. He has convicted the persecuted correspondent of nothing beyond telling unpleasnfc truths — the correspondent enjoyed no confidence, and consequently could not betray it ; on the contrary, he was well known to be an open opponent of Mr Fox's G-overninent, and in making use of any contraband information he could pick up, he did no more than any other newspaper man would have done. Those who divulged Mr. Fox's secrets are the guilty parties, and on them the vials of bis "vvra/fcn should nave been, poured oui. Mr Fox knows as well as we can tell him that since his first appearance in public life he has always given way to paltry personalities, which have militated much against him, and proved spots upon his political character. It is time this grave fault was amended, and we would counsel him in the present case to withdraw the offensive language he has made use of, and the equally offensive letter he has written, and to tender an apology for them."

The "Figaro" gives an account of Madame Emile Ollivier's having dined at the Tuileriea. She was attired in a -costume well suited to her character, a robe of white tarlatane a corsage mountant, with long sleeves ouverte carrement sur la poitrine, with" ceinture d'enfant of broad ribbon fastened at tho back ; while her beautiful fair tresses fell unconfined descending to her waist. She is 20 years of age but does not appear to be more than 16; she related to the Emperor the history of her marrage. It seems that every year M. Emile Ollivier has gone to the same waters, in the Yosges, to which hep family were in the habit also of resorting: The name of the celebrated deputy made some impression on the young girl, but he did not seem to think of her. For the first year he treated her as a child; in the second year it appeared as if she had grown a little and in the third year she had attained "to the stature of his heart," and the marriage took place. She scarcely dreamed then that she should one even-^ ing relate the story to NapaleoaHL
