the place had been cleared for them four months ago," when its Circassian defenders were all destroyed. They frond in the port eighteen sandals, or shore-boats, and use Turkish brig ; the cargoes were appropriated in shuts amongst the Russians, whilst the masters and alms ot these vessels were brought before the genera.. lie informed them that all the vessels must be taken to Anapa to have their papers rectified, and that a guard of Cossacks would accompany them, so many for each of the sailors. When the vessels arrived et Anapa the same form was gone through egais ; the sailors were told that their papers would be set to rights only at Kertch ; four of the vessels were detained, having no papers to show for them ee,ves at all, and the others were sent off towards K ee teb with their Cossack guard. Luckily p le b a violent breeze sprung op that all the Coissacks were attacked with sea sickness, to each a degree that they could not perceive how the sailor', instead of Kertch, were bringing them to the harbour of Trebizond. The 72 Cossacks now j Lid themselves prisoners at Trebizond ; and although the Russian Consul at Trebizond has demanded them, up to this time the Cossacks have not yet been handed over to the Russian authorities. This affair is even of greater importance than that of the so- called signal-shots tired at Yeniksle against the English steamboat. As Philipeon was on his returning march from Foujouk-Kaleh to Anapa he was attacked use retedly, in the forests of :kluge, by the Circa.- cans, under the command of Radji Tahia, who had greviously kept in the background, and he was pur sued by them as far as the plains of Seide. There were some killed and wounded on each aide, but the amount ot the Russian losses is not known, since the Russians carried their wounded away with them; the Circaskiens had 17 killed and wounded, but they took prisoners one Russian officer and 11 Cossacks. England ought to exert herself, and take all measures to secure that the Russian attempts to get possession of Onassis shall not succeed. Ws should take example by what happened in 1717, when Prince Bakowitz got as far as Khiva, because he had the Circsasians with him, whereas eight years ago General Perowsky could not get to Khiva • and what was it that prevented him ? The Ciro:imolai' mountaineers. Accordiog to letters from Tarsus, the Boards from the Maraach mountains have come down into the plains end villages adjoining, and threaten to plan. der the inhabitants of all they possess. The governor of Terns, Morib Puha, went out with his troops to meet the rebels, and drove them acmes the river Genic-Sonjou, then, believing that they Wee effectu ally punished for the time, left the district to the protection of its midis.

Lest week an extraordinary courier tnm Penia brought the news of Herat having fallen on the 25th October into the hands of the Persian army, after a very sanguinary conflict. This news appears likely to be true, but it is the cholera and hunger which We obliged the garrison of Herat to surrender, and let the valour of their assailants. It seems that the English expedition against Per ak has already disembarked in the Persian Gull. The Persian government puts a bold face on the matter, and braves the English power. Letters of the 10th instant from Tabreez state that the cholera is very destructive in that eity this year. The SOS of the Shalt, and presumptive heir to Persia, died at Teheran at the beginning of this monis, and this event interfered with the festivities which were to Dare been got up on account of the capture of Herat. Mr. Stevens, the British Consul at Teheran, has gone to visit the shores of the Caspian Sea, and thence will travel through Georgia, on his way to Trebi. :and. Mr. Abbott, the meal at Tabreez, is probably now at Trebinind with his ?wally. Nothing of importance is to be reported at this town except the oantinnance of a distressing scarcity of promeionr. REDPATHISM IN PARIS. (►aoN AN PARIS, Duo. 23. There is an old story of one of our comedians who arrived in Paris on a day when all the theatres were closed, and when the bills consequently bore in large letters the word " Relache." The worthy, not being particularly strong in foreign tongues, concluded that it was an excessively popular piece, and requested his friend to obtain it for him, as even in those days the French stage furnished one dramatists with materials. Foreigners who walk the streets at this time of year are equally puzzled at finding the advertisements, the placards on the walls, and the tickets in the shop windows, extensively beaded with "Etrennes," an ominous word for every French Paterfamilias, and for every unlucky wight whose fate it is to be what they call repandu in society. One bright specimen of our countrymen suggested that it was some popular kind of sweetmeat, because he had seen it at a con fectioner's in the Passage des Panoramas; and the guess was not a bad one, for these New Year's gifts used in the olden time, in the days when we first " d.d " our Paris, to be chiefly packets of bonbons, except in the case of the grumbling con =l,who cared for nothing but the white money. y-the-bye, the concierge of Paris is jast what he wed to be, growling, grimy, and given to mend shoes in a dark hole in a corner of the courtyard, or ander a staircase. The " embellissemeatan have not le t reached him, and even in the lively new of the Rue de Rivoli, he has made con siderable progress in getting himself and his den into the 11.1010 condition as they used to be, when filthy narrow streets occupied the site of the brilliant shops of to-day. But in one respect ', he has marched with the times—he expects to so be paid more for everything be does or is supposed 131 to do for you, and since you pay 5,000 francs for your si bachelor quarters on the fourth story now, for which fk you only paid 2,000 francs formerly, he expects his is. dogma at the new year to rise in proportion, and so, everybody dreads the time of the Etrennes. It ge Y the bugbear of the day ; it divides men's is clads with the Neufchatel question, and is of r kit more direct interest to all those not concerned is k the fluctuations of the Bourse, a class, lam 1111 .. every to say, remarkably small now-a-d a y s . Y ou g 1111sember that time was, when a cornet of booboos 11. wall that was expected as a general rule. It was g not very expensive, was graciously accepted, and • st. bachelor was quits for all the soirees, Aci., for the I . past year, and eligible for thew of the Anno Domini m. that was commencing. But that was in the days . 9 , 1 . 1 when royalty disported itself in the streets with a i t ". cotton umbrella, and used to have easy little gas- es.' siping dinner parties at the Tuileries. It wain the i t time of Mr. Smith.* Maio now areas chi/ font sA cola. We have the Cent Garde, and the new Leant all covered with carving, and imperial %saw as equally covered with gold lace, and new shreds, and a new regime, and new everything. And we have, ir moreover, our new banks, not like the old ones, where is. Coatis' and Drummond's drafts used to be bat palaces where grim officials in livery let yO l e i t li t in no time what a nobody you are compared with themselves, who bask In the light of such very su prior porcelain as M. l'Administratenr ; and you to walk up stairs covered with soft carpets, and are 1 4 utterly confounded by whits and gold balusters, and or handrails covered with crimson vehet (Utrecht). et. And when you are sufficiently impressed with all ; this, you seat yourself oe some more crimson velvet (Utrecht) in the waiting room, and in the course of an hoes you get your audience of the great potentate himself, or of his subordinate, and are politely bowed into some more crimson velvet (easy chair this time, but Utrecht still), and finally you come out with a vague notion that the world is all crimson velvet and green carpets, and white and gold deocteatiom.

If you E do goer Etreones grudgingly, woe be to you—you are so taboo, and will be invited to meet the clerks of IL le financier, or the cousins from the country, so er others of that stamp, who occuionsay fall on IS the heads of Parisians, and pat them to their wits' ends to find amusement for the terrific visitors. In te Path everything In Paris has got to that pitch of nt splendour, that one can hardly noel the ree t rr i befors 1830, when old Charles Dix used to *bow his front teeth so graciously to his loving sub jects. The elaborate pavilions of the new Louvre, when the architect seems to have solved successful) y the problem of patting the greatest possible quantity of decoration into a given space, is the type of our new Paris. The object appears to be to do everything in the most costly manner; and where the money teas from is a puzzle. Men seem to me to be living as they did in the days of the first revolution, when the maxim wee—" Let us live today, for the axe may fall to-morrow." In every direction the idea appears to prevail that since no one knows what may happen, it is as well to enjoy the utmost attain able luxury while the means of supplying it still exist; and at the bottom of this feeling is, to my thinking, the Rouse. The newspapers are gradually getting into the hands of the great speculators, and their chief interest lies in their amounts of what passes in the Rue Vivienne; everything seems to be sacrificed to that portion of th eir intelligence. Men of yesterday are living like printing; their new houses are Hoed with marble, and gilding, and painting, and statuary. Their offices are like drawing-rooms, and the bees of the hive, the working demo, hod it no easy matter to make both ends meet—a state of things, in Paris especially, which is anything hat safe or satisfactory. Wh I see any of these samples of the Plutocracy of France I cannot help looking upon them as blue-bottle flies—very big, very noisy, very . shiny, but sprung from a very unsavoury °rim and impregnating everything on which alight with the on& of corruption. M.king t due allowance for the general and rapid increase in the wealth of France and Frenchmen, it appears to me that there is an aunt ' tural sad dangerous amount of tension in all this luxury, and although I am • firm believer in the greatness and prosperity of the future of this I Auld be glad to HID them discount it a lit= and shires* themselves rather to establishing their midis on a firm buis than to dazzling as by the sploodsmor which strikes every visitor by its oiliest , - eality. whits the goverment and the municipality are studying inessmantly the means of reducing the eat of the ationsariso of life, it seems strange that one oleos of the inhabitants of Paris should be as devising new modes of parading their luxury Wm the eyes of their fellow-citizens. It will end in the creation of two climes, the very rich and the very poor, unless it be checked; and how perilous such a division of property is, the history of France has indi cated pretty clearly.

There is no longer any doubt that the Canard Company intends establishiog a line of steamers between Liverpool and Quebec. Captain Laing, long in their em ployment, visited Quebec and Montreal some time ego, it Yru reported, for the purpose of securing dock room for their vessels, and the doubts that were entertained whether that was his reel mission have given place to certainty conse quent upon the public announcement of the company'xintan tics. We are inclined to think that the new movement is the effect of the experience of the put meson on the shrewd managers of the Canard line, sod that the imperial autho rities have hotpot moved in the matter, notwithstanding the efforts of the Hon. John Young. The truth is, that the voyages to Quebec of the Canadian steamer, in from One to two days shorter time than the same vowels could perform the trip to New York Sr Boston, were enicient in themselves to compel the Cunard Com pany to contemplate a change. A large proportion of the greet business of the line, both in freight and passengers, is use on Canadian account, and it was abundantly obvious that it would not long continue to go to New York and Bootee, when it could be done at Quebec more cheaply and quits as expeditiously. The screw steamer, with its econo mical equipment, at the Bt. Lawrence port, is exactly on a par with the expensive paddle wheel at the American, and there could be no question which could take tbe Canadian business at least. There is, however, a trade almost as int pwient as the Canadian whisk it was evident would also be attracted to Quebec. We mean that of the American lake district and far west. The establishment of the Cana- than Ilse mat ha;iihai ansieot on iihSrmeipts;f the Coosa mewls during the past season, bat the with drawal of badness was certain to go on as every additions' Stllllllor was attached to the line. Coder these circum stances, It became the obvious policy of Canards to take kralest of so route which bed preyed advantageau. atouse capital of the Canard', and their skill and eaperience, give them greet advantages is the conduct of their business, and we have mason to rejoice' that their re. lowan are to be employed in developing a moat importeat part of oar trade. We may safely say that the shipping Madams of the St. Lawrence is entering on a new spools, and It la Impossible now to predict all the bmwdolat malts which the province may derive from The Montreal journals are engaged to disemming the determisation of the Canard Company to make the tails' of their line at Point Levi, opposite Qaebee.
