FORTY-NINE DAYS AND NIGHTS 0!t TUE OCEAN IN A 20-FOOT LIFEBOAT. Fiotu the London Standard. The boat New Bedford, liter a voy age of forty-nine days, arrived In Mount's Bay, Penzance, last night. This tiny cratt is a scliooiicr-rlgged life boat, 20 feet long Her entire cfew consisted of Mr. Thomas Ciapo and his wife On the 7th lust., when thirty five days out, slio was spoken by tlie Niitloniil Company's steamer Denmark, which found all well, and supplied the little sailer with provl-Ions, brandy, and twenty gallons of water. Thu four teen remaining days of the voyage were t!!ost arduous. Crapoand his wife were, exhausted on their arrival in port. For thii three days previous thu woman was uuable to help her husband, and his lett hand had beeonie useless, owing to Its protracted employment In steering. During filteen days the New Bedford was hove to In the worst of three gales that were encountered. The adventur ous couple lost their reserve of cluthhg oteboard.

Antonclll's Alleged Uaifglitcr. rnm the Wl Jfa Caiille. Rome, iuly The Antonelll-Lam-bertlnl trial is again adjourned for a week the President of the Civil Court not having yet dccMed to admit the np. plication that the evidence of certain witriessea be taken down at once, 'ilia Countess Lambertfnl is represented by iwii lawyers, one or mem being slgnor Tajanl, who made himself famous In Parliament two years ago by his des cription of the Slate of Sicily. The AntoiR'llis have employed four lawyers In their defence. Another point has been raised as to whether tho evidenco the plaintilf proposes to call to prove her relationship with the late Cardinal Is admissible, she having been formally registered in the parish of Santa Maria In Via as the child of Angelo and An tolnetta Marconi. It Is also said that the Antonellls have asked through an oDicer of the court whether she Intends to produce In evidence tho letter from Mine, Marconi to Venttettl, desiring him to press the Cardinal for money, as they dispute tfhe authenticity of tills letter. This puts Mine. Lambeitlni In rather an awkward position for It Is one of her strongest jiroofsj and If elie keeps It back, besides losing a good piece of evi dence, It will look bad for her asser tions; if, on the otlier hand, she pro duces It, tliey threaten an action for" forgery, I'n which case the civil suit would have to be suspended until the criminal cause Is decided, and thus much valuable tlmo bo gained by the defence. It Is evident no means will be spared on either side to gain the victory. From IA London DaUy .Vnct. Homk, July 18. --In to-day's hearing of the Antoiielll case the President. In consideration ot Its great Importance, declined the responsibility of deciding whether the three leading witnesies Subscribers out of bounty, $1.20 should or should not be admitted to ex amination at oncri, Notwithstanding that the deqlslnn wnsi quitfl within his power, he referred it to the Tribunal. The day fixpd for the discussion ta next Saturday, tho 21st, hen not.qnlv Sig ner Tajanl will tak,e part, but the cele brated .leader of the, Tuscan, bar, Ad rlano Marl, ex-rresldent of the. Cham ber of Pepnties, and ex-Mlnlster ot Grace and Justice, wijh him. Tho ad. vocatcs of the three Counts Antnnelll are now five In number, The discus Mnn is not expected to close till the Tuesday following, when the Tribunal will announce Its decision. Thereafter the case will no't,be resumed before the 8th of November, ori wh' ch oceasslon Signer Tajanl, itls calculated, will open the case In favor of the Countess with a speech of not less thaji two days' duration. The Counts Antonelll show their anxiety ns to the result, not only ly engaging Marl for the defencd, but by actually producing tho Cardinal's, will. This they obviously do to securo the two-thirds of tho Cardinal's fortune, which must be, theirs, even should the Countess gain her suit. Fi om the London Truth, I am not surprised at the CotintVyis. Lambertlnl's claim to the 87,000,000 francs at whlch.the Antonelll's fortune Is estimated. What I wonder at is.that there are not a great many other claims nnts. The Cardinal evpr evinced a re pugnance for holy orders. To t a deacon he was obliged to take the vow nf fspllhflnv' hnf. lin l-n.n, ltlm.Ji ... - .f j , ... ,.u ,,,. ,, ,,,i,,cr,i ,uu well to be become a. priest, and In all his life he never confessed a pVhltcrit.
