DRAMATIC COLLEGE B.au..—The fifth annual bal for the benefit of this excellent dramatic charity took place last night at St. James's-ball, Professor Anderson having removed for the night to make way for the dancers. A very large and brilliant company attended, and the arrangements were well planned and well carried out by the energetic ball committee. Mr. Benjamin Webster and the indefatigable waned of the college were of course present, and they were supported by • large proportion of the seventy distinguished stewards whose names were published as patrons of the ball. Amongst theme latter gentlemen present were Mr. John Brady, M.P., Dr. Canton, Mr. W. Harrison, Mr. Joon Levy, Sr John Louis, Bart., Mr. Charles Mathews, Mr. Alfred Mellon, Mr. J. C. Parkinson, Captain Spicer, the Hon. Lewis Wingfield, Mr. Henry Rumen, and many others. What we may call the general company were very numer ous, the gentlemen, however, preponderating over the ladies. The theatrical profession was very sparely represented. Messrs. Coots and Tinney's band were engaged, and the master of the ceremonies was Mr. J. Seaton. They appeared to give general satisfaction. The company sat down to sup per about two o'clock, and the dancing was continued after- wards to a very early hour. TESCrisos IN AltunicA.—Ticknor and Fields have in preparation a sumptuous illustrated edition of Mr. Teosyno's " Enoch Arden," which is intended to form • model volume of American ornamental book-making. The engravings are from miens] designs by L Forge and Vedder, and are said to be singularly successful at tempts to embody the idea of the post in pictorial sketches. The numerous company of Teenyson'a ad. miters in this country will give a heartfelt welcome to this memorial of their favourite, which will be ready for their hauds before the Christmas holidays. Another U. lustrated edition of " Enoch Arden," with illustrations by Hammett Billings, and printed in a tine style of typo graphical art by Alvord, is announced by J. E.

CITY OF LONDON ASSOCIATION FOR THE RELIEF OF THE Moon—The annual meeting of the subscribers to this old City charity was held last peening at the London Coffee-house, Lodgate-bill, under the presidency of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. Mr. Deputy Lott, the boo. secretary, reed the report, which stated t hat the sum of 1851. owing to the treasurer bad been paid out of the pro perty of the association. The operations of the society Napa last winter with a balance of 34 Da. Id., and the de livery of 20,404 parcels of coals at the abodes of the poor, sad ended with a balance of 121. tie. lab. Since the close of the lest winter • gift of 200/., being part of a sum of 1,0001. seat by the Hon. Rustonjoe Jam/egos Jejeebboy, to be divided amongst the London charities, had been received through Mr. R. W. Crawford, N.Y. The whole of this sum the commitsee recommend the association to give away in coals this winter, by tickets, free from the usual charge of 4d., being sent to the subscribers in proportion to their subscriptions for the past year. A special ,00tract had been made for the supply of the extra coal required. The treasurers account showed a resume of 50d/. to be in Land. The Lord Mayor moved the adoption of the report in a few appropriate remarks, which was seconded by Colonel Alderman Wilson, nod agreed to. The meeting was ad dressed by the Rev. Mr. Lusignan, Mr. Simpson, the Rev. Mr. Gibbs, and others, after which the committee for the mimics year were appointed, and a vote of thanks to the Lard Mayor for his kindness in presiding closed the pro 'medley. PUBLIC PARES AND CORPORATION FtNDs.—A project was brought before the Liverpool Town Conn cil some time ago for the appropriation of • portion of the borough fund to the purchase of lands or properties suitable for conversion into parka, recreation grounds, or open spaces, which are greatly needed amongst the crowded community of people. Some doubt existed as to the power of the corporation to do this ; and the doubt was met by the suggestion that the corporation could, if it possessed imitable lands, appropriate them to the purposes named, and that the two courses were virtually the same. Upon this a case was submitted to Miners. John Holt and Charles Hall, for • legal opinion. The reply of those gentlemen was read at the meeting of the town council yesterday, when it appeared that the gentlemen named were of opinion that the corporation had no legal power either to purchase pro. perty out of the borough fund or to appropriate portions of ita real estate for the purpose in question. Ma. SPERGEON AND THE GLASGOW POLICEMAN. —A rather good story, for the authenticity of which we OM vouch, is just now going the rounds of the city. As our readers Cr. aware. a great many persons obtained adroirion to the lecture delivered by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon for ra ther " Mr." Sporgeoe) in the City Hall last Tuesday even. ing, by presenting forged tickets. In consequence of this unprincipled sod dishonest conduct, large numbers who had provided themselves with bona fide tickets were unable to gaga admiesioo ; it having been necessary to alone the doors before eight o'clock, the hour at which the proceediegs were advertised to commence. Amongst the • latest az rivals" at the South Albion-street entrance to the hall ware Mr. Spurgeon himself and Dr. Joshua Paterson, who, on demanding admittance, were informed by a tall Highland policeman statioeed at the door that the ball was already crammed to suffooatioo, and oo one would be allowed to put his foot within the threshold. " But we must get in," said Mr. Spurgeoo, attempting to REM " I dotal see tisk" replied the constable, barriog the door with his burly frame. " But we most get in, ' reiterated Mr. Spur pots ; "my friend here is Dr. Paterson, who is to ant as chairman to-night ; and." struck in the doctor, "this gentleman is the Rv. Mr. Spurgeoe. who is to lecture ; so you see it won't do to keep on out." The po li ceman shrugged his shoulders, and regarding the applicants with a knowing look, said, •' Do you really think I'm so jolly green—move on !" Fortunately, at this juncture, a member of the Pro testant Lea mans Association, who had been on the look oat foe Mr. Spongers, cams to th e rescue, sod, having explained matters to the constable's satisfaction, that aritonished! ene ticnary stepped aside. and, with a polite salute, permitted the famous London divine and the horned doctor to plum pm—Glasgow Citizen. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.. (aura's nue'Alm) RETURN OF THE PRUSSIAN TROOPS FROM THE DUCHIES. BERLIN, Doi 7. The Prussian troops returned from the late seat of war entered Berlin to-day with the King at their head. The streets through which they passed were lined by an enthusiastic crowd, and the houses were gaily decorated. Preparations are being madefor a brilliant illumi nation of the city to-night. ITALY. (MOM OUR OWN CORRISPONDINT.) TURIN, Dec. b. Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of shaking hands with the gallant Venetian patriot Tolassi, who, after having raised the flag of Italy on the mountains of Friuli, was lucky enough to return to this city, passing through an endless series of dangers. He is a young man of five-and-twenty, a native of a village near Treviso, very handsome, and with a face which betrays a great amount of determination. He came to Turin to take part in a preparatory meeting of the Venetian emigration, which, having disapproved the proclamation pub lished a month ago by the members of its com mittee, met yesterday to appoint a new one. The meeting was rather stormy, and from the election made of Deputy De Boni, as presi dent, it is natural to infer that the Ve netian refugees are more for the party of action than for the conservative, to which the members of the committee who have resigned be lo The debates on the Transfer of the Capital Bill are growing duller every day. All that can be said either in favour or against the convention has been said over and over again both in the Chamber of Deputies and in the Senate, so that we have nothing now but common-place arguments, not worth listening to. To-day we had Senator Gioia, an ' eminent lawyer and native of Parma, who read a l long paper against the treaty. Signor Lanza, General Menabrea, and Senator Farina afterwards spoke. The citizens of Turin have given another proof of their devotion to the national cause by prepaying to the national exchequer 153,000 francs, the amount of the land tax not due until next year. This was done without a murmur, and with that willingness which the people of this much-abused city always show in serving the country. Brigand stories are always more or less interesting, especially when a woman is the heroine. Amongst the Neapolitan provinces which have to contend with the dreadful scourge of brigandage there is that of Cattanzaro, which possesses the advantage of having a band which is led by Maria Oliviero, an exceedingly handsome woman, not yet 30 years of age. Barbarity is her chief characteristic, and the sight of blood renders her as excited as a wild beast. She was the wife of the famous brigand Monaco, of the Albanian village of Spezzauo, who was killed in an encounter with the Italian troops near RONARTIO. In this very encounter Maria was also wounded, but she continued to discharge her musket, kneeling on the dead body of her husband, with a firmness and a courage which eveu com manded the admiration of her opponents. Having at last been struck in the right leg, she fell into the hands of the troops, and, brought before a court martial at Cattanzaro, was condemned to be shot. The sentence was, however, commuted to 30 years of penal servitude. While she was expiating her crimes in the prison of Cattanzaro the gaoler fell desperately in love with her. The cunning woman pretended to feel an equal affection for him, and one day she told him that whilst she was with her husband she had concealed in a cer tain place near Ronan° a large sum of money which had been paid for the ransom of a rich farmer. The gaoler went quickly to the spot, and found the money. This fact had na turally the effect of making his love for Maria still more ardent, so that she had no difficulty in convincing him that tender affec tions are better manifested in freedom than within the four walls of a dungeon. Before, however, making their escape, Maria succeeded iu sending word to her brothers, who are brigands, that on a certain evening she would be at au appointed spot not far from Cattanzaro, attired in man's clothes, together with her deliverer. Maria was punctual at the rendezvous, and her brothers also. The unfaithful turnkey was killed out of hand, and the money he had found replaced in Maria's pocket. Once free, this woman organised a baud of brigands, and began her operations in that tract of mountains which lie between the river Crati and Cattanzaro. The barbarities since perpetrated by Maria are almost incredible. The villages of Spinelli, Cotzenei, and Belvedere have been literally sacked b 7 the band she commands. The dread which the name of Maria Oliviero iu spires among the rural population of Cattanzaro is so great that the Italian government has been obliged to send two battalions of the line to pursue the cruel fury. Whilst the band led by this woman is desolating the country of Cattanzaro, we hear from Rimier* that the bersaglieri have succeeded at last in capturing the famous brigand Sacchitielio, together with the two still more famous mistresses of the brigands Crocco and Schiavone. The strangest thing about the capture of Sacchitiello and uf the two women is that they were taken in the house of the captain of the national guard of the 'village, where they had been concealed since the month of July ! This fact shows bow difficult it is to get rid of the Neapolitan brigands, since iu cer tain cases the commanders of the National Guard give them safe shelter in their very houses. An appeal for fuuds to erect a monument cele brating the liberation of the duchies from Danish rule has just been circulated at Flensburg. . . • Sorrnampros, DEC. 7.—A telegram Las been received here from Cherbourg station, that the creamer lowa is aahore there.

[The following letter appears in the Daily New of this morning :j TO THE EDITOR OP THE DAILY WM. SlR,—Finding that all was quiet before Rich mond, and that a civilian would be in no danger and not much in the way, I ventared to run down to the army of the James. The army appears to be in good condition and spirits. The supplies, I believe, are abundant ; the hospital accommodations are evidently ample and good. Ido not speak from my own observation, which of course is very limited and precarious, but from inquiry, in saying that probably no army in history ever was so well cared for as this. And if such is the case, it is surely a very strong proof that the war is not being waged with mercenary and worthless lives. I see the same care for the dead as for the living. The graves in the lines are decent ; and many bodies, even of private soldiers, are embalmed and sent home to their friends. The soldiers are now lodged in leg huts built by themselves : and time was a sort of rivalry• in the contrivance of 1101116 parts of these huts which looked lilip,tbe work of cheerful as well as of skilful hands. The extent of the fortified lines is immense ; and the perfect finish of the works seems to betoken willing labour, or at least ready obedience to com mend. Everywhere you see skill in the use of the axe and the spade, dexterity and inventiveness, the signs of a native American army. The fortifications and the hutting might seem to indicate that the campaign was at an end. But the chessboard is now very contracted, and the remain• ing moves short. Richmond is visible from a signal station iii the lines. Of course I cannot pretend to speak of the military qualities of the army. It must suffer from the continual retirement of veterans whose term has expired, and their replacement by raw levies, who are unwisely formed into new regiments, instead of being incorporated with the old. The oligarchs of the Confederacy, as you know, keep their veterans in the field by a very simple expedient. Having induoed men to enlist for a year, they voted them in for three, and then till the end of the war : a violation of public faith to which it would be difficult to find a paralleL As • natural consequence, however, they suffer from desertion in spite of the most vigilant efforts to pre vent it. Their most trustworthy troops, if lam not misinformed, are a good deal employed in guard ing the rest. The armies of the Potomac and James do not live on the country. They are supplied from their water base. Hence, perhaps, it is that in the district occupied by them, though you see many signs of conflict, you see no ravages. But in truth the country, so far as I saw it in two days' ride, or from the top of a signal-station command ing a wide view, bids defiance to the ravager. Though close to the capital of Virginia, it is, with the exception of a patch here and there, a wilder ness. Part of it is a relapsed wilderness, for I saw the traces of former cultivation covered by trees of about twenty years' growth. The soil is evidently good, and the land will be fruitful when it is tilled by free hands and opened to emigration. Perhaps these armies may be con quering from slavery a home for the surplus popu lation of England. The fact that the scene of this war is a vast and I almost pathless forest (the good roads about the lines being the work of the armies) evidently makes ordinary military criticisms inapplicable. It is difficult to imagine bow a line of battle can advance, how it can even be formed, or how artillery can be brought to bear in a battle. A charge of cavalry is out of the ques tion ; and this makes the cavalry ineffective, and the battles indecisive. Reconnoitring must also be extremely difficult. The two lines of pickets were lying close to each other in front of their respective entrenchments, without any wanton firing. Men who thus observe the courtesies and humanities of war may surely, when the war is over, live in good fellowship with each other. There seemed t be in this republican army all due military subordination, and enough of etiquette. At the same time there is a certain republican equality of fare. The abode of General Grant at City Point lea hut of one room, oontaining a camp bed, a chest marked with the initials of the owner, a table, and two or three chairs. All Americans are hospitable to strangers, and the officers of the army of the James were most hospitable to me. Perhaps their hospitality may have prejudiced me in their favour ; but they appeared to me in manners and cultivation the equals, at least, of any soldiers whom I had ever seen. I rode for some hours in company with one of them who had entered the army as a private, and I think I never met a more perfect gentleman in my life. I saw, with the greatest interest, the negro troops encamped close to the scene of one of their most gallant exploits—the storming of the entrench ment on Newmarket Height. There can be no doubt, I think, that these men are now the acknow ledged and respected brethren in arms of the whites. This, to give the Beast as well as the Devil his due, is the work of General Butler. That man's indomitable energy and iron will (qualities written on his face more plainly than on any other face I ever beheld, unless it be the portraits of Cromwell) have crushed all the obstacles that stood in the way of this great moral and social revolution. Ferro iis fibertas proventet— the bayonet shall be their liberator—is the motto of the medal he has caused to be struck for the negro soldiers ; and he has made this motto a practical truth. I will not attempt to anticipate the calm judgment of history in an hour of passion by discussing the controverted parts of his career. To me he seems to be in all points, good and evil, the model of a Revolutionary chief. He was the first thoroughly to grasp the idea of the Revolution being fulfilled by the virtual destruction of Slavery ; he is the first, as you ses by his Now York speech, to an nounce in broad terms a policy of amnesty and oblivion. Like Denton, he has " walked straight on his wild way," fearless of danger, and somewhat reckless of opinion. I do not worship Revolutionary characters. I hate the element from which they spring, as I love the calm progress of regular im provement. But a Revolution has come, and I suspect that in its melancholy annals Butler will occupy a broader and perhaps a less odious page than is commonly supposed.—l am, &0., GOLDWIN SMITH. I Washington, Nov. 22, 1804. THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. Wednesday is generally the great day at the Cattle Show, and yesterday it was quite great enough to justify its reputation. The check-table kept up an incessant click from morning until night, and the various avenues leading to the Agricultural Hall were almost impassable, from the enormous number of vehicles all labouring to get on in the same direction. There had been a strong expectation that the Prince and Princess of Wales would be among the visitors, but the public were again doomed to suffer the pangs of hope de ferred. The directors, however, are not without expectation that before the fi nal closing the exhi bition will yet be honoured with a royal visit. The sale of stock got on pretty briskly, but we were informed that those butchers who expect to become possessors of the great prize holders defer their purchases as long as possible for fear of accidents in the case of such large and tenderly reared animals. There is no doubt but that ultimately purchasers will be found fur all and at good prices. We observed in a former notice that the cattle show was complemented by a varied exhibition of agricultural machinery, and in that department, perhaps, the most remarkable articles are the steam engines and " composite " threshing machines of Messrs. Garrett and Son. The steam engine of 10-horse power is applicable to almost all the pur poses of the farm, ploughing the land in seed time, and fitting the corn for market in harvest. For the latter work it is made to connect by a strap with the threshing machine, which is a perfect model of mechanical ingenuity, and the latter, aided by the communicated motive power, threshes, winnows, measures, and sacks the corn by one continuous operation ; and this with out injuring the straw, or losing a single grain of corn in the operation. Messrs. Garrett supply both machines to all the corn-growing countries of the Old World, and we are rather surprised to find that even in Egypt their economital value and efficiency are better appreciated than in England. With any farm of 300 acres or upwards there is a saving of one-half the expense by the use of these two machines ; and it may perhaps be worthy the consideration of the statesmen who are now so busy with " the Irish question " to inquire whether such a rearrangement of the farms in Ireland as would permit of the use of machinery of this de scription would not be the best means of increasing the agricultural wealth of the country. From the days when allusion could be made to ' the ox that treadeth out the corn," and thence through the long primitive " flail " period, there is a wonderful ad vance in the invention and production of agricul tural machinery like Messrs. Garrett's steam engines and elaborate threshing machines. The annual dinner of the club took place last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern. - - SOCIETY OP ARTS. Last night, at the weekly meeting of the Society of Arts, Mr. Bridges Adams read a paper " On the con structioo, retardation, safety, and polio. of railway trains;' Mr. W. P. ANDREW is the chair. The paper which Mr. Adams read hat night was a continuation of one on the same subject, lead on a former 000asion, and the following is • summary of the prop °slams contained in the two mien Spring tires, for the purpose of preventing blows and friction and lemming the chances of the wheels escaping from the rails, a system thoroughly verified in practice, as quadrupling the durability. 2. Systems of elastic parliament railway, supporting the rails by oonti anon' elastic bearing, preventing disintegration of the rail; as verified in practice. 3. Improved syagni of fish-joints, duplicating the strength, with elastic fit of webs and bolts. 4. Radial axle-boxes, to enable locomotives of great length to page round any sharp curve without friction on their flanges--in practice. 5. Eight-wheel tank engines for sharp curves of 99 fret radius, long verified in practice. 6. Eight wheel tank engines, for curves of 99 fest radius, all eight- wheel drivers, both on straight lines and curves, by means of super-improved friction wheels, all capable of retarda tion by steam brakes, making the whole weight of the engine available for traction or retardation. 7. System of V dative to spring tires working into V grooves of rails, to obtain increased bite for amending steep in clines, or when starting with heavy trains. 8. System of long waggons and carriages on eight wheels, radial axles, and guided by quadrants, with sliding springs, or long swinging shackles, to roll truly round curves of from forty to eighty feet radius, and provided with self acting brakes to p accidents on steep inclinee—eco oomically and easily carrying large loads. 9. Made of con structing passenger carriages to give free internal circula tion to guard, engine-driver, and managers without inter fering with the privacy of firstmlaiw passengers. All these principles and. *es are applicable to all gauges, from 7 ft. to 3 ft. GM. light lines. Mr. DTZE said that when railway collisions took place the almost invariable result was that the carriages were raised up and thrown over one soother. in order to pre vent this he recommended the adoption of buffers at the top of the carriages as well as at the base, as exemplified in the model which he placed on the table. The absence of uniformity in the railway platforms was a fre quent source of accident which might be done away with by the adoption of uniformity in this reepeet. Captain HOMY did not think the adoption of buffers at the top of the carriages would answer the purpose intended. Mr. TIMLON thought the effect of having a double pair of buffers at the top of the carriages might be attended with this result—if anything prevented the lower ones from acting, that the tops of the carriages would be taken away. which would be rather inconvenient to the passengen in side. (laughter.) The reason of there being no uniformity in the height or width of the platforms was that the railway system grew up gradually in this country. Hs did not agree with Mr. Adams in the opinion that continuous Levelling by railway war injurious to health. The best proof of that was that there wee • large increase in the amount of season tickets issued. Mr. Adams had does good service by the introduction of the fish-joint, but it appeared that Mr. Adams could produce something better now. He should like to see the new invention first tested by experience. Mr. Davis said that carriages on the plan recommended by Mr. Adams had been tried on the St. Helen's Railway with success. -- kr7Ausisa haring replied to the observations which had been made, The CHAIRMAN proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Adams for his excellent papers from which so much information was to be obtained. which was unanimously adopted, and the proceedings terminated. A NOVIS CLAIM FOS COMPIMATION.-1t was stated by Mr. Msllieb in the course of some proceeding before the Sheffield Inundation Commissioners cm Tuesday, . . that there was one claim for compensation for damage sustained by the late inundatioa in that town of a novel and amusing character, and which showed to what an as. limited extent claims would be made. This claim was made by a ratcatcher. He said that the rate he used to catch had been drowned by the flood. Mr. Quain said : His occupation is gone. Mr. Maoist, mid : They are face notunr. Mr. Mellish : His oocupatioo was gone, and there were not rats to catch. But no one would suppose that he could establish such a claim. It was ridiculous to imagine it. Why ? Because the rats were not his—he had no property in them. _ _ --- HEAVY RAILWAY COIIPENHATION CLAM—Yes terday, at the Sheriffs' Court, lied Lion-square, a remark. able compensation case " Searby r. the Tottenham and Hampstead Railway," engaged a special jury under the pre sidency of Mr. Under-Sheriff Borchelt, till nearly 6 o'clock. Mr. Hawkins, t,.C., with Mr. Robinson, was for the claim. ants, the executors of Mr. Searby, and Mr. Lloyd, with whom was Mr. Mellor, for the company. The claim was sooty 16,000/. for laud taken and for the depreciation of the other portion in the Juection-rod, between Kentish-town and Holloway. For the land about 3,0001. was asked, and for the damage to the rest 10,5001. Teo acres had bees taken of the Corporation of the Sous of the Clergy, and buildings planned. The railway would interfere with the plan, and the damage was estimated at upwards of 10,0001. Oa the part of the company the land wee estimated at about 1,0081., and the damage at 5001. Mr. Fuller, the sur veyor to the company, was of opinion that the p roposed em bankment and station on the estate would enhancetbe value of the property. Mr. Lioderoheriff Burchell told the jury that the case was an important cies, and the dittclitinnY In the evidence such as be had never heard before. value of the land by the claimants was just under 4 , 0001, sad by the company just over 1,0001.

The premises in which the &toter nom ended were in the occupation of Mr. Baker, a cabinetmaker, and Mr. Pahner's (builder's) workshops ware at the rear sod adjoining. The dames spread with unusual Tepidity, and in the soar.. of eight or tee minutes the build ing was wholly in Barnes, which were not quite • m e a ttirlied at 1 o'clock this morn*. The property was SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. READING STEEPLECHASES. -Dry'. 7. The second day of this meeting was not so fortunate in regard to the weather as the miming day. A cloudy morning with slight rain threatened a damper to the sport, bat although cold the wet held off during the racing, The attendance wes not so large as was expected, but still there was a good muster. The first race was woo by the favourite, Othello. Two out of the three which started for the Mili tary Steeplechase came to grief, Piggy Wiggq, the winner, only having to canter in alone. The event of the day, the Berkshire Steeplechase, brought out twelve runners, but peoved a disappointment to those who backed the Croydon winner, who, after lying o ff till within a quarter of a mile from harm, joined the leaden and looked all over a winner at the distance, but swerving at the finish only gained the empty honours of third place, while the winner , in Ben Lands stable, was not fancied.

NAVAL INSTR CCTORN. —The following general order haa been promulgated from the Hone Guards:— " With reference so the general order, No. 656, dated 22nd October, 1t364. his Royal if ighnees the Field Marshal Omni =Dais-in-Chief directs that after eight years' service and under Mesa, naval instructors' shall be recognised as hold ing the relative rank of =yore in the army, according to the date of their C 011101116101211 and after fifteen years' service sad upwards, as lieutenant-ccaonels, but aa the juniors of ttat rank.* A SHOAL or WHAM OFF REDCAL—On Sunday morning about Moe o'clock, as two men were walking along the sands near to the Convislasoent-borne at Coatbsin, they saw, about a mile from the shore, what appeared to be • sunken colge with its nail pertly set. One man positively asserted that he could see men moving on it, an he had watched for about half an hour. On bearing this statement Bernal men put off with a fishing noble to the relief as they thought of the eutferen. Before the ooble was fairly on the way the object diappeared, shortly reappearing 'spun. Mr. Balmer, of Redrar, by this time had brought a glass to bear upon the object of their solicitude, and found to his sato nebulas:it that it wee • whale of immense proportions for these regions. The men in the boat likewise viewed it through • telescope. They say it was about 40 feet long, ite fins on its beck standing out of the water about 6 feet. Several others of smaller size were gambolling round their monster companion. They were visible for about an hour and • hall, when they took their departure in • southerly direction. COLLISION BETWEEN MEMBERS OP THE CONFEDE BATE Collottlatk—At an early hour on M onday morning • collision occurred at the Ballard Howe between Meiani. Wm. 0. Swan and H. S. Foote, colleagues in Congress from the State of Tennessee, the difficulty on it is said, in some remarks made by the latter in the House of Repro seetidiese on Monday, supposed to concern John Mitchell, Esq., of the Emm,ooir, It appears that Mr. Swan wee conducted to the family apartment of Mr. Foote by Mr. H. B. Pollard, who did so to show him the apartment, ad knowing that the relations existing between the Iwo gentlemen (Foote and Swan) were of • hellion., description, and of course unprepared for so sudden an explosion as followed the opening of the door and the introduction of Mr. Swan. Mr. Foote invited Mr. Pollard io, upon opening the door, when the latter informed him ttat his (Mr. Foote's) colleague, Mr. Swan. wee tilers and wished to speak to him. Mr. Foote replied that be did not look upon Mr. Swan as &gen tleman, and could hold no commualeation with him. Mr. Swan stepped forward and struck Mr. Foote over the head with his cane, inflicting a severe blow. Further sad more serious hostilities were about to be inaugurated, when Oise& Wickham sad Mr. Themaa, sewed auditor of the State, happening to be near, interfered sad put • atop to further fighting. Yesterday morning the city police were on the qui rive for Mears. Foote, Swan, sad Mitchell, warrants haring been issued for their arrest, upon the sap politica, it is said, that • duel was ea the tapia between Mews.
