LONDON, MONDAY, DEC. 21. THE APPROACH OF CHRISTMAS. TEE rapid approach of Christmas is being heralded in the usual way. " With the Cattle " show and the pantomimes,•" was the era fixed by the late ALBERT SYTTH for his arrival from China ; and the definition of date is as accurate now as then. The Christmas periodicals are the smut couriers of the time. Early in October the stream begins to flow, until by the middle of November every conceivable stretch of every conceivable Christmas sentiment has found its way to the reading public. Hysterical gatherings of snow-blocked travellers who swear eternal friendship and proceed to disclose to convivial strangers the secrets of their lives ; in sane confidences and disjointed revelations, im pulsive love and unmeaning hate have proved the staple of these stories for many years. But there is no need, even for the most unobservant, to turn to literature for evidence of the approach of Christmas. The streets, the shop., the newspapers, the schools, the markets are all full of it. The posters on the walls have pictorial effects, like gaudy nightmares, all referring to Christmas. The advertisements on omnibuses and at shop-doors teem with references to the time. The guinea hamper of gin end wine, vaunted as an appropriate offering in honour of the great festival of the Christian Church ; the goose clubs at the taverns, where the happy contributor of sixpences a week receives a curious specimen in articulated ornithology upon a given day; the grocers' appeals to the public to behold and test their splendid and re cently imported fruits; the Italian warehouses obverted into fairy palaces, in which georgeons bon-bon boxes are shaped into triumphal arches, and where buying and selling are carried on in what seems to be the transformation scene of some old Lyceum bur lesque; the toysbops, the oyster warehouses, the fishmongers', the butchers' with groat Christmas prize beef, ticketed as from the Agricultural Hall; the Government Offices, the Banks, and places of business generally are all preparing for the Christmas week, some ostensibly, others by internal arrangements by means of which the bolyday slis3l be properly and generally observed. For one good Let arisen out of the hysterical sen timent fostered by Christmas numbers, and mock geniality. A general disposition has arisen to prolong the holyday time and to make the week dividing the old year and the new a resting-place for those immersed in the worry and bustle, the fever and turmoil of the battle of life. The race is so swift now, the fight so tierce' that men have less time than ever for the cultivation of the simple virtues ; and the home of many a successful rose is to its owner and chief a mere hotel in which he spends the least interesting portion of his time. If this is so with those who are at the luads of firms ; who direct operations, and issue orders to the rsnk and file, hke generals in the field, and if it presses Lardly—bow much more must it tell upon the young and impulsive, whose immediate pe rsona l intereete are not at stake, and to whom kindly er n . pally and friendly affection are more valuable than gain. These are the classes for whom the extra Christmas holyday is advocated, and to whom it will be a true boon. It is the workers, awl especially the young workers, who need a little indulge nor and fur whom a clear three or four days' holyday in asked. The business of this busy London would not be materially hindered, and the wheels would go all the easier afterwards. Many of our leading firms we we glad to ass have *imbed rest - • THE HIGHER EDUCATION OF WOMEN. Tam boas: and opprobrious epithet which a few years ego was applied to well-educated women is now wholly out of date. No one thinks of calling a lady • " blue-stocking " because she can read VIRGIL or Goalie without the help of a transla tion, or because she has acquired an extensive knowledge of English literature. The antiquated notion that the study of what litirrow calls " household good " is the only study adapted fo, the feminine intellect is happily exploded, and it is acknowledged—a wonderful concession truly ! that the woman whose mind has been enlarged by culture may even make a better wife and mother, and a more judicious housekeeper, than if her education had been restricted to embroidery and piecrust. The education of women, then, is allowed to be of the highest advantage, and the only question is how far shall that education ex tend We answer that no rule of general appli cation can be definitely laid down. There should be • wide range for choice, ample provision for such en education as men are accustomed to deem liberal, and there need be no fear but that young women who have passed the school-girl period of life, and are really eager for knowledge, will select such branches as are most suited to their position or in clination. The studies absolutely unfitted for women on the ground of sex or capacity are few indeed ; and there is no reason why the higher education of • young lady who is unsatisfied with the " finish " of a boarding-school should not be as complete and as varied as that provided for her brother. We are glad to see that Canon Grainsirrona, in his address last week at the Ladies' College, Bristol, advocated with all earnestness the higher education of English girls, and that not on the ground of pecuniary advantage, and additional means of livelihood, but because by such culture they would contribute to the happiness of home. Many women in this over-crowded country— and among them are some of the best of the sea— pass through life " unattached ;" but a woman's true vocation is matrimony ; and no intellectual man will prefer an ignorant " unidea'd" woman to one who is capable of appreciating his pursuits, and of being a counsellor as well as a wife. Doubtless there may be wives who neglect their children and servants for the sake of books, and prefer a mathematical problem to a baby; but this is no argument against the higher education of the sex. It is only a proof, and a very strong proof too, that the education of such women has been terribly ill-regulated. There is, however, one objection, and as far as we know one only, to this generous education of the fair sox, namely, that it involves a corresponding culture on the part of men. We cannot, of course, consent to any diminution of authority, to any inferiority of position ; but bow maintain our dignity, if as rulers we know less than those whom we under take to govern ' This is a serious difficulty no doubt, and there is but one way of overcoming it.

The magis trates art again firm ; the police have roused from their long dream, and words and things are found to be really what they profess to be. Keeping open after the legal hour is punished by fine, and an appeal is now being made to the quarter-sessions to decide upon the precise limits of the night-house keeper's lia bility. It is earnestly to be hoped that there will be no squeamishness as to the interpretation of the law ; and that the interests of public morality will be duly cared for by the magistrates. Profligacy has lost half its grossness by the early closing act. The Haymarket is comparatively pure at the time when its noisome revels were formerly at their height—that is from one to two in the morning. The charge-sheets of the Vine-street and Marl borough-street police-stations show a startling diminution in the number of " cases " brought in during what were formerly the busiest hours. The haunts of debauchery and vice are silent when they were formerly most noisy ; and the strings of wretched revellers who formerly trooped from tavern to tavern during the small hours betake themselves home just as they used to be beginning the evening a few years ago. Of course there is less drinking in consequence, and equally of course the night-house keepers are in dignant and evasive. The social rite known as " squaring the peelers " having been recently ex posed, and a clean sweep having been made of the while= guardians of the district, convictions before the police magistrate are a neces sary consequence. The interests of the harridans and ex-prizefighters who keep these rendezvous of sin and shame are dia metrically opposed to the law, and their anxious hope is to frubtrate it by allowing their customers to linger after the acknowledged hour. Various pretexts are employed in justification of this course. The liquor was served before 1 a.m., the men and women found drinking are lodgers, living in the house, the people assembled meet as recreative philosophers and for conversational purposes alone. There shallow, flimsy excuses have deceived no one but the legal authorities before whom they have been pleaded. and these can have only accepted them in a Piekwickian sense. Let it be clearly understood by the night house keeper that irregularity is followed by con dign, and, above all, by certain punishment, and his attempts to return to the bad old system will be speedily at an end. His calling is noxious to the community ; mercy or indulgence to him is cruelty to the thoughtless and young. DIA= OF BIR TROMAB ORE/MET, M.P.

On Friday night, at about half-past 11 o'clock, the steamer United States, descending the river, and the steamer, America, ascending, tame in collision at Rae's Landing, about two miles above Warsaw, on the Indiana side. The America struck the United States on the right hand side, forward of the steps, tatting into her • coon _ derable distance, and causing her to sink to bee main deck in two or three minutes. The United States had some petroleum on her deck, towltich lire in some way was corn mould-aged, and almost as anon as the steamers came in collision, they were in amass. T. muse ad taa di altar is mud to bare been a confusion of signals. The whistle of the America was twice blown, but the pilot of the United States apparently did not hear it, and the America again signalled by two blasts of her whistle ; this time the United States answered, but it was too late. Mr. Ole Bull, the celebrated violinist, who was a pas senger on the America, represents the scene which followed as fearful in the extreme. He believes that at least 70 lives were lost. Twenty ladies were burned or drowned. Two newly-married couples were saved, and it is said that one such party is missing. All of Ole Bull's party were saved, but the baggage of the whole company was lost. It is believed that one only of the passengers on board the America is lost, and this fact is largely attributed to the cookie, and courage of her °Moen. The pilot stood at his post until the pilot-house was burning around him, and he was obliged to leave to avoid suffocation. The destructicn of these line and costly steamers, re sulting in such a terrible loss of life, and fears for the fate of those who are missing, hays cast a gloom over the en tire community. Among the victims were the Bev. Robert J. Perrin and the Rev. Mr. Rising. The Rev. Mr. Perrin was one of the most widely known clergymen of the Episcopal Church, owing to his prominent position u Secretary of the Evangelical Educational Society, and his connection with other departments of the missionary work of his church. The Rev. Franklin 8. Rising was the Secretary of the American Church Missionary Society. E.TTILIOILDINdIY Titdoß.DT dT SBA. The Cork /braid giros the particulars of a series of horrible, and almost incredible, occurrences which took place on board the Dutch vessel Finnechina, Captain Hots. commander, just arrived in Cork from South America. A Londoner named Rogers was one of the crew, and either from insanity or cupidity (as he knew the captain had a large amount of money on board), he seems to Lave formed a plan for getting possession of the yowl by wholesale murder. On the fourth day after the ship left Buenos Ayres Rogers took a favourable opportunity and pushed the first mate overboard. The cook, in response to his cries, ran to throw him a rope, when Rogers seized Lim by the legs and threw him into the sea abio. Both these men were Dutchmen. The second mate, also a native of Holland, ran to help the drowning men, but Rogers endeavoured to kill hiin with en axe. He ran towards the cabin, and jumped down the hatch. way, upsetting the captain, who was running up, and both tolling on the floor, Rogers secured the hatch above them, and made them prisoners. Two men remained on deck, one a Yankee, the other an Llama, and thee. Bogen kept apart —one fore, one aft—by threatening to murder them ; and compelling them to steer vessel in turns. For four days the murderer remained master of the deck, not sleeping during the time. The captain fired twice at Lim during that period, but without wounding him seriously. Owing to a dead in the compass, he sup posed the vessel was steering straight for the land, when in reality she was moving parallel to the coast At the end of the fourth day sleep overcame him, and the Irish man, waiting for the opportunity, seised the are, and at one blow nearly severed his head from his body. He then relieved the captain and mend mate, and the venal made for Rio. After an investigation a fresh crew was shipped, and the Finnechina arrived in Cork Harbour on non. day.

THE TITRICO-GREEK DIFFICULTY. (mom on °lnt 00211111POIThiff.) PARIS, 81111,1 MT ET/311110 It will, I believe, turn out that the contradic tion of the rumour of a Bung= " despatch" on Eastern affairs turns only upon a technical word. and that the Russia* government has in another form manifested a difference of opinion with France on the affairs of Ovens and Turkey. Ac cording to credible information M. de Talley rand, the French Ambassador at St. Petersburg, having had occasion to talk with Prince Efortoha koff on the subject of the existing conflict, the Rumba minister expensed a fear that the attitude of France in the matter was not so straightforward as Basta could desire. " If," h• is reported to have said, "Turley is so sousetiag she must think herself sup ported by a great power, and then Bassia would be entitled to show some resort's in complying with the invitation made to her to wooer in com mon measures to pre►ent an explosion." The sub stance of this conversation telegraphed by X. de Talleyrend is thought to account for the panic at yesterday's Bourse. To-day a good deal of irregular business was done cm the Boulevards, and, notwithstanding the assertion of this morning's Moat..., that the difficulty is in a fair way of settlement, not at im proved prices. Route was done for a good while at 69fr. 30c. ; and the last and highest quotation was but 69fr. 80e. The Gasdois lays that M. do Roon, the Prussian Minister at War, has actively resumed the warlike preparations which ho had suspended in Sep tember, and that Prussia is completing the arma ments of the fortress of Sunderburg and Duppel. The Marquis de Moustior is so ill that ho cannot be removed from his bedroom in the ministry of foreign affairs. It is stated that the Emperor, when informing him by an autograph letter that be had been provided with a suc cessor, added that his weak state had been noticed by his Majesty at the last minis terial council, that in relieving him from the cares of office the Emperor thought to do him a ser vice, that he was gasetted a senator, and that when be got well a foreign embassy would always be at his service. The marquis is said to have been as much annoyed as surprised by this com munication. M. Pinard, whose fate was signified to him by General Fleury only two hours after the Emperor's arrival at the Tuileries from Compi4ne on Thursday last, sus pected what was coming, and prepared to " ad just his mantle" with dignity ere he fell. It is, I believe, quite true that he has refused to be a senator. But one of his flatterers in the Condilu ionNe4 spoils all by saying that his future career will be altogether guided by the Emperor's wishes. That is curiously inconsistent with the rumour chronicled at the same time, that he wishes to get into the Corps Legislatif as an " in dependent" member. I think I can tell his horoscope better. M. Troplong, the President of the Court of Cessation, will very shortly attain the statutory age for retirement. A rumour was lately circulated that, in order to meet M. Troplong's case, the law—naturally very unpo pular among the seniors on the judicial bench— would be altered. This rumour was yesterday denied by an official communique'. M. Troplong then will soon be shelved; M. Delangle (and a fitter man does not exist) will be put in his place ; and M. Pinard, having tint perhaps made a feint of toiling as an ordinary advocate, will be made Procureur-General of the Court of Cessation. The salary of that place is much higher than that of a senator, and there is no reason why (like M. Delangle) he should not be a senator as well. The government has no inclination to try any more isolated electioneering experiments, and, making a perverse use of its prerogative, intends not to issue writs for the seats in the Bonehes-du- Rhone, Aube, Aveyron, and Somme, vacant by the deaths of Berryer, Auguste Chevalier, and Rambourgt, and the appointment of M. Greasier to office. The certainty of a defeat at Marseilles, and the probability of checks in the Aube and Aveyron have led to the extreme resolution of keeping these four seats vacant for a whole session. INDIA. TILE DESTRUCTIVE CYCLONE IN THE BAY OF BENGAL. A tkrrific cyclone, which swept over Akyub on the 13th ult., appears to have -caused great damage to property of all kinds. The lines of telegraph to Calcutta and Rangoon were both completely interrupted. The mail steamer Busheer, which arrived at Akyab from Rangoon on the 12th inst., was forced from her moorings at the landing pier, and driven oa shore with oonsidessble damage. The British barque Duke of Northumberland, which was loaded, the British ship Naomi, shout two. tl irds loaded, sad the British barque Volunteer, which had lately arrived in balled, were all driven on shore, and the latter so high that it seemed doubtful whether she could be got off again. The native shipping and smaller craft were all driven on shore os sunk, in some osses with lose of life. A few days before the eyeless there was a gale from the east, during which the British ship Clannerden, 1,1911 tone register, soak at her Aachen out. side the port, where she was waiting instructions from home, and nine of the crew, annisting of twenty-nine men, were drowned.

COURT OF Qt NEN - 8 BENCH. S ttings at Nisi Prins.—(Before the Lord Chief Ju-tice and a Special Jury.) CAXPIIILL r. YLm.L PAOLA. This was an action to recower commission at the rate of five per oent. upon a loan of .500,000/., which the plaintiff mid he had been to obtain for the defendant. Mr. Joseph Brown, i 2. C., and Hr. Lanyon appeared for the plaintiff : Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and, Mr. Murphy for the defendant. From the opeau;ig of counsel it appeared that the plain tiff, Mr. Forbes Campbell, of Dover-street, was formerly amistent-manager of the Colonial Bank, and had since occasionally acted as a financial agent, and that the adlendaatwasMustapha Pacha, the brother of the Viceroy of Egypt. In August, 1866, the defendant was enjoying the pleasures of Baden, and the plaintiff hap pened to be there for the benefit of his health. Mr. Campbell was introduced to the Pacha by Prince Stirbey, the ex-Hospodar of Wallachia, and after a short intimacy, the Pacha told him that he was desirous of raising a loan of 800.0001. on security of his property hi Egypt, which consisted of extensive estates, and was represented to be worth 2,500.000/. sterling. and to yield 200,000 e a year. The Pacha wished to got the loan at 12 per cent., but in consequence of the commercial crisis and the high rate of discount, Mr. Campbell despaired of obtaining it at that rate. Further negotiations took place between them at Paris, and ultimately an arrange ment was made to the effect that Mr. Campbell should take steps to procure a loan of 500.0001., upon which be was to receive 5 per cent. commission in one payment. (in the 24th September Mr. Campbell wrote to the Pasha, infesming him that he had concluded the loan at 15 per cent. interest, which was to be paid once a year. Afterwards the interest was reduced to 12 per cent. After some further correspondence the Pacha, on the 2nd December, wrote to Mr. Campbell, thanking him for the zeal be had displayed in the matter, stating that in consequence of his financial position having all at once changed, he could altogether dispense with the sum he had placed at his disposed, and asking him not to carry out the transaction. The niche, having sold his estates to his brother, the Viceroy, was in "on of considerable funds. This caused Mr. Cam I the utmost astonishment, and also embarrassment, as he had entered into engagement' with several parties in connection with the loan, and he claimed 2:,,000l for his commission, as if the loan had been actually accepted. Ultimately the Pasha disclaimed any liability in tke matter, and the present action was brought. When the Sultan came to England on a visit to her Majesty. Mustapha Pacha also arrived here, and Mr. Campbell, being informed that he was not in the suite of that sovereign, caused him to be arrested at Claridge's Hotel, Piccadilly, with a view to compelling him to five security for the amount of his claim. The Pacha's solicitors immediately provided bail, and the question of his arrest having come before the Court of Qu een 's Bench, their lordships held, upon the evidence produced, that he was a member of the sultan's suite, andtherefore, by international law, privileged from arrest. His arrest was consequently declared illegal. Mr. Campbell, the plaintiff, was examined in support of the above facts. Case adjourned until next sittings inconsequence of the absence of material witnesses. COURT OF COON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prius in London.—(Before Lord Chief Justice florin and a Special Jury.)
