LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DEO. 2. THE RUMOUR OF THIS MORNING. A et•storit, which has been flying about the Clubs for some days past, and which our Minis tette' contemporaries have made credible by em phatic contradictions, has this morning acquired a certain consistency by its reproduction, with all the emphasis of type, in the columns of a metropo litan and of a provincial contemporary. Assuming for the moment that the rumour is well-founded, we need not hesitate to acknowledge that it would not be so startling as it seems. There might be at least three obvious motives for this sudden retreat, and in political strategy, as on the field of war, a timely retreat is sometimes an operation in which the most brilliant faculties of generalship the rapid and decisive coup d'oeil, the broad and compre hensive survey of all the chances and combina tions of a campaign, fertility of resource, and the art of divining difficulties to come, and eluding defeat with a semblance of precipitation, and confounding the enemy's tactics by leaving him master of an exposed positicn, with an army which has not seen fire—are displayed to the highest advantage. What are the elements of the present situation of parties ? The Cabinet was confessedly in a minority in the last Parliament, and had been twice and thrice handsomely beaten in divisions on a momentous question of imperial policy. Parliament was not dissolved, indeed, because the Government was in a minority, but because it no longer represented the enlarged con stituencies. To theme enlarged constituencies the Cabinet proposed to appeal for a verdict on its declared resistance to the diseetablish ment and disendowment of the Irish Church. The constituencies have responded to the appeal by sending back to the Rouse of Commons a majority of more than one hundred pledged to support Mr. GLAntrrosz, and to seize the earliest occasion of ousting the present Ministers from office. Ac cording to constitutional form and usage it was expected that the Government, finding itself in a minority in the present as in the last Rouse of Commons would meet the now Parlia ment, and await its formal ratification of the verdict of the country, without compromising the neutrality of the Crown by a single misguardcd word in the speech from the Throne. In this way, it is true, the parliamentary majority would cb' sin the satisfaction which is its due, while the administration would ba in a condition to retire from ir.wer without loss of dignity. But this would be a simple and straightforward and cus tomary course. And • simple, straightforward, end customary course is not all the present Plenums is apt to should really have resolved cuplamistio language of is occasionally described as " movement," such a cigcision •1 a , , of Mr. DuoAur may be a divided Cabinet, an mope from the mei sity of propounding a policy of his owe, or the embamumment to the leader of the maj ority of forming an administration before be has brought his parliamentary forces into the geld; in other words, before the new Hove) of Ominous has pronounced sentence upon his predeoloor. All these motives, and perhaps some others whisk are not so easily dated, which wewosdd rather not suggest, bat which will probably mar to oar readers, might appear to explain the rumoured premature resignation of the Tory Government. It is always safe to conjecture that Mr. DISRAELI is not at the end of hie resources ea a tactician. On the other hand, it would be only fair to appreciate the difficulty of reconciling the views of Mr. Ogrnoires HARDY and of Lord STAIITILY on the Lids Church question ; the danger of alienating a considerable number of his supporters by any proposal to eat in the direction of the Irish Church Comaiesion Report ; and the still more imminent and delicate task of composing a speech ,from the throne. It would be auperfluous to blame a Minister for making the beet of a bad business and cut ting a knot which he cannot untie. Perhaps lifter all it is in the capacity of a " Constitutionelist " that Mr. DISRAELI may be anxious to escape from complications which he has so ingeniously °m ated during the recess. • WINTER EVENING EMPLOYMENTS. Tuna are few persons whose enjoyments sad occupations are not to a large extent influenced by the seasons. The glorious sunshine sad bins skies of last simmer were enough to make the most in dustrious man idle, the most ascetic man luxurious. Life in each a season grows strangely easy; we are content to exist sad to enjoy, we grow good-tem pered and indolent, or if roused to exertion it is only that we may invent fresh pleasures. No doubt there are men—Dr. JOIINSON affected to be one, but was not—who can plod on methodically uninfluenced by the frosts and fogs of winter or by the delights of summer time, men who can solve mathematical problem' under the shadow of Mont Blanc, or study Kant and Hegel in the Valley of Grasmere. Such concen tration of purposes may be commendable, but it is certainly uncommon, and those of us whose freedom of action is not entirely restrained by the pressure of business will be ready to allow that both for work and play wo are greatly de pendent upon the season► of the year. Take the winter evening for example and lot us ask how we shall spend it. In London and in other large cities the answer is not difficult. There is choice enough to suit every taste, and the Englishman who complains of ennui may lay it to the account of an unsociable and surly disposition. Frenchmen and Germans know better how to enjoy city life in the summer time, but the home-loving Englishman has by far the best of it at this season. He is resolved to be ceinfortuble and generally succeeds in his resolve. Andessevolly a peaslty - ilieted sot only apes themselves but epos their families. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (TUB DAY.)

The pluses of whist lately Se most has besa heard is " the popular vote." It is used la disparagement of the oonitalational majority pined by Yr. Gladstone in the Rouse of Goma= by the votes of the constibeensiee. Some of the tory newspapers say that the popular vote has been gives for the camenatives, who have • 'majority iis the oonetituseams, though not of the ormslitsseada The argument involves the Tama and Anosricsa system of equal electoral districts, readjusted from time to time to the growth of populatioa.

Gladstone is remarkably skilful in conducting a difkult and irritating question through the House of Commons. IN RAW. Discussing the differences of opinion which inter pose to prevent a settlement of the question as to the character of the future government of Spain, the Z om says that, whether the Spaniards are divided among themselves, or are simply at a loss for any poetical con clusion, the great fact remains that Spain is passing through the transition period not only without injury, but probably with benefit, and that the ultimate settle ment is likely to be all the more stable from the very aspect of necessity which it will seem to carry. What ever comes must come, to all appearance, because it can not be helped, and a nation which has demeaned dealt with such dignity through a stage of suspense may confi dently be expected to do itself no lase justice under the definite institutions which it may ultimately ap prove.

Cespedis is said to have assumed the leadership of the insurrectionary forces, and had put a system of conscription in practice, en rolling adult male inhabitants for the war service. THE WAR IN HAYTI. NEW YORK, Nov. 21. From Hayti it is now reported that Etalnave was repulsed in his attack upon Jeremie Town, and that the damage done by the gunboats has not been considerable. Balnave, it is said, was sub sequently also repulsed at Miragoane. His troops are reported to be disaffected, and the Cacos rebels to be gaining ground. The British frigate Niobe has gone to Jacmel in order to afford protection to the property of British residents.

He would have been quits free to have expressed these opinions, in moderate language, as many writers in Prance do svery day; but the court thought that when on the morrow of his voluntarily taking holy orders be sought to create scandal by denouncing violently and theatrically the tenets to which he had just worn, and publicly to throw them in the teeth of his bishop, the offence mentioned in an artide of the Code not often acted upon, was sufficiently made out, and the defendant was sen tenced to mix months' imprisonment. He appeared at the bar, but declined to answer any questions or give any explanation of his conduct. Baron James do Rothschild has left his widow the handsome dower of 60,0001. sterling a year.

After tea he is himself again, and enjoys a game at chess, or reads aloud, or plays at billiards, and if addicted to creature comforts, has a glass of " something hot " and a cigar before retiring for the night. Sometimes be dines oat, sometimes gives dinners at home, or the young people have a party, or ho is allured to some local meeting, or ho will, when sufficiently pressed and coaxed, take his children to the play. Generally, however, be is not fond of " turning out " after dinner, and thinks those evenings the most cheerful which are spent by his own fire. Such a man, be it remem bered, has earned his leisure before taking it, and it would be hard if, after a day of severe toil, be could not enjoy his ease. There are men of another stamp, wholook forward to the winter evenings in London, not as seasons of repose, but for long hours of delightful work. There is a language to be mastered, or a quarterly article to be written, or a history to be studied, or a scientific investigation pursued, which will hold them spell-bound until past midnight. The labour is solitary indeed, but it need not be performed in solitude, and the lamp that illumines the manu script or the book may shine also on the sweet English face of a happy wife and mother. But in the country—far away among mountain solitudes, or standing upon a wild coast remote from village or from town, there is a charm in the winter season even beyond what is felt in the midst of cities. After a hard day's sport the rest of evening is delicious, while it is a luxury to feel that since your nearest acquaintance lives six miles away there is no risk of being disturbed. In nature it has been truly said there is nothing melan choly, and every season brings with it special enjoyments. It may be said also that it brings with it special duties. It is sad °lough to remember that a large number of our countrymen and countrywomen think of winter only as a time of hardship and almost of starvation. Their oocupetion fails them ; their wants, owing to the inclemency of the weather, are all the keener. They find it difficult, to use a common phrase, to keep body and sonl together, and they drag helplessly through the winter months in despondency, if not in despair. During this winter it is said that owing to the depression of trade and other circumstances there may be anticipated a more than usual amount of destitution. Let us hope then that there will be at the same time a wider benevolence and a keener sympathy on the part of the public. Work is per haps quite as much needed as money, and if w e are willing to sacrifice some of our winter evening pleasures in order to minister to the wants of our poorer brethren we may be quite sure that the employment will bring its own reward. THERE has been a small revolution in one of the most famous colleges of Oxford. All the undergraduates of New College have been " rusticated," in other words sent home, in consequence of some damage done by idle hands to a window. At a distance this severity looks somewhat excessive, since it condemns a whole college for not giving up the name of a single offender. The right and duty of the autho rities of the college to preserve the striated disci pline cannot be celled in question. Nor is this wholesale rustication without precedent. But would not a less indiscriminate sentence have 'stifled the demands of justice in such a case Brooking windows is an absurd folly ; but it is The Star Waists that nothing is same unsatisfactory than the article which ignorant and tricky private senuol. wasters supply to ignorant and gullible customers. There are many districts in which really intelligent parents, loathing the vulgarity and pretence, and conscious of the inefficiency of the private schools around them, are almost fain, in the absence of any good public institution, to send their children to the nearest National or British school ; and but for tho inoonveniences of unadvisable companionships, or the risk of I , .sing social prestige in their neighbourhoods, they would probably do so. ♦ LESSON SEM TIANSALTLANNIC r The Telegraph says that the silent and energy with which iho capitalists of New York, supported by their government, have undertaken the construction of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama or Darien, in order to unite in that latitude the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, contrasts favourably with the fussiness and bombast which have accompanied the construction of the Soar Canal by Prance, and with the absence of all effort in the capitalists and government of Greet Britain to surmount the inconveniences of the British ChanneL Is there, asks the Telegraph, no hope that, profiting by the example of transatlantic enterprise, our own government, in concert with that of Prance, may be tempted to lend such en couragement to private capital as shall induce it to embark upon the difficult task of conquering 22 miles of sea ? ROYAL VISIT TO Tint CIIILDRILT'S HOSPITAL nr 01121? Ourown-ernser.---Yeeteniay afternoon her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Prussia (Princes.

Her royal highness passed through the wards open to visitors ; the other wards, not public, are foe infectious cams (without which no hospital for children would be complete), and are most effectually cut off and isolated from the main building. Her royal highness made many inqui ries concerning the arrangements foe sick children, and those recovering from sickness, and remained • consider able time in the hospital.

The explana tion of the semi-official journals, however, is that to-morrow all the ministers will be wanted in the Council of State to defend their budgets for 1370. Apropos of the budget. all hope of reduction is given up. Tho estimates for the army and navy will be 88 high as ever, and in all probability excuse will be found for augmenta tions. This is substantially admitted by the Eteadard. General Bourbaki yesterday gave a dinner at the Grand Hotel to 80 officers of the Ist Division of Voltigeurs of the Guards. Not only reporters, but also strangers, unless they could contrive to disguise themselves as waiters, were rigorously excluded. Nevertheless the Gault:de undertakes to say that the general made a speech predicting war with Prussia, which was greeted with thunders of applause. M. Oloxaga, although he has in his pocket cre dentials as Ambassador Extraordinary and Mi nister Plenipotentiary, takes only for the moment the title of " member of the Provisional Govern ment on a mission." He will have his first inter view with the Marquis de Monadic on Monday next, but is not to be officially reoeived by the Emperor until the form of government in Spain is settled. The new deputy for Toulon, M. Peyruc, has already done good service to the government which procured his election. Ho has purchased the opposition journal, the Towlennais, for 120,000 fr. Forty-four Paris printers have agreed to give the 10 per cent. additional wages demanded by the men, and so prevented the general strike threatened. But M. Paul Dupont, the deputy, who has a very largo business indeed, will not give way, and his men have struck. In conse quence, the Avenir National, of which he was the printer, does not appear this evening. It is now said that not M. do Laroy, but M. de Barthelemy, formerly a peer of France, will be brought forward by the legitimist party to succeed N. Berryer as deputy for the Boucher-du-Rhine. Some papers speak of N. do Falloux and M. Prevost Paradol as candidates. I incline to think the Benches-du-Blaine will regard their late re- presentative as a man by himself, and will be likely to return a nominee of Jules Fevre and Marie rather than a legitimist or an Orlesnist of any shade whatever. Some yaws since N. Berryer talked of oompiling his memoirs for publication. He had a vast mass of materials carefully docketed in his library, and his correspondence filled a dozen boxes. It was his habit never to burn a letter. He often pointed to his collection of documents and letters, saying : —" All my life is there." Once, when pleading for a large compensation on behalf of a client whose house was pulled down by IL Hausmann, he said, by way of illustration, that if his own house in the Rue Neuve des Petits Champs were to be demolished the damage would be irreparable, as he should never live to put his books and papers in a new plans, in such order as to be able to lay his hand on any one whenever he wanted. Although, however, he caressed the idea of publishing his memoirs, ho repeatedly postponed the execution, even after he had made a contract with a publisher.

In the evening he was sitting in conversation with Captain Powell and his engaged when he was suddenly mixed with pain in his forehead. He soon afterwards retired to his room, and subsequently became worse, whereupon Captain Powell sent to Woolpit for medical aid, but the gallant officer ex pired before • surgeon arrived.
