From the Paris correspondence of the daily journals, we gather

the particulars of a strange proceeding, in which the Duke of Hamilton and Lord and Lady Lincoln are concerned. It appears that Lady Lincoln, the Duke of Hamilton's daughter, having suffered much from a eervous cumplaint, was taken to Paris, and placed under the care of two phy- sicians, Dr. Wolowski, a Pule, and Dr. Koreff, a Prussian. After attending her Ladyship for four months, an improvement in her health became evident ; and to confirm her convalescence, she went to Switzerland, accompanied by the Dutchess of Hamilton and her hus- band. Previously to his departure, Lord Lincoln put 9601. into the banking.house of Laffitte, with directions to pay it over to the Doctors, upon their giving up a journal which they had been requested to keep of the varying symptoms of Lady Lincoln's complaint. During the absence of' the party in Switzerland, the Duke of Hamilton, who re- mained in Paris, obtained a portion of the journal ; but the Doctors refused to give tip the remainder, unless they were paid a much larger sum than the 9601. So the account remaiiied unsettled. Lund and Lady Lincoln and the Dutchess of Hamilton returned to Paris; and were assembled with the Duke at the Wiwi Bristol, Place Vendome, when a servant entered, and placed before Lady Lincoln a legal docu- ment ordering the payment of 30,000 francs into the treasury of the court, to abide the issue of an action for 400,000 francs, which Doctors Koreff and Wolowski modestly claimed as their fees for attending her Ladyship. Lady Lincoln was so tnuch shocked that a relepse.has taken place, and she is now very unwell again. Inunediately atter- wards, Lord Lincoln was arrested, and taken by the officers to M. Cretnieux, the barrister employed for the extortionate Doctors. With M. Cremieux an arrangement was made. The 30,000 francs were lodged with Laffitte, and Lord Lincoln was released. This is the case against the Doctors ; but, in a published letter from Dr. Korea to the Countess of Dolomieu, Lady of Honour to the Queen of France, their defence is given— After stating that he and his friend, Dr. Wolowski, had been engaged to attend Lady Lincoln in her illness, and how by their care her Ladyship had been restored to health, Dr. Koreff proceeds to dwell upon the unrenatung and painful nature of hie and hit colleaguele attendanee on the noble patient ; that Ise himself bad frequently spent sixteen and his friend Dr. Wolowski twenty hoer. out of the twenty-four in cluse attendance on their charge. That hie own Lealth had become ;availed from the incessant and laborious duties he lied di.eherged. and that Dr. Wolowski was from the name causes threatened with the It ,s of hie sight. That doting the latter portion of their attendance on Lady Littro!n, they had not been treated with that civility and consideration so emi- nently due to them.
