iFOR-tIGXNOTrg PAVSSIA. The discussion of the new organisation of districts in the Prussian Chamber of Deputies has excited great interest. It is desired that this organisation should harmonise with the principles of decentralisation and self-govern ment which are generally received by the coun try. The measure under discussion fails to fulfil this object, and the majority of the Chambers have often pro tested against it. It seems likely, however to pass into law without being sensibly modified. The Budget of Public Works has been also discussed, and it appears that many important works are likely to suffer from the state of the finances. The canal which is to traverse the peninsula of Schleswig Holstein, uniting the North Sea and the Baltic, is to be postponed for want of funds. In the debate on the Budget cf Justice, it was stated in reference to the appointment of magistrates of the Jewish persuasion that the Federal Constitution abolishing all religious disabilities had now superseded the Prussian law, and that the Minister of Justice had given his orders accordingly. The German correspondeni ~f the SRde thinks there is little chance of witnessing the triumph of peace and liberty in Prussia. The people are proud of their military triumphs, and the victory of Sadowa has given them an appetite for war. The Government finds it easy to make a pretext for continuing on a war footing. In support of this assertion the writer in question quotes the Correspondence, of Berlin, which, after admitting that at this moment tho arsenals of Prussia and of the Northern Confederation possess 1,500,000 needle-guns and 140,005 rifles on the same system, calls for an increase of over 600,000 as a reserve. The breech-loading steel cannons of the Confederation already amount to 1,284, and will shortly bo raised to 1,770. •: , 1 ~,,. 1.1 • 5: c' : : : ''' '''. °I.

A popular assembly was held a few days since at Mannheim, demanding the right of suffrage for the citizens. The commission appointed to examine the petitions presented by the Ultramontane party reject universal suffrage with only one exception. The Baden Government, fully aware of its unpopularity, is especially anxious that the people should have no voice in the matter. SPAIN. A dispatch from Madrid states that neither the Spanish Government nor its ambassador at Paris has made any communication to the French Government on:the question of the Duke of Madrid. The news from the frontier fully contradicts any assertion thathas beenpublished on the sub ject of Carlist schemes. It is well known that the Duke of Madrid is in Switzerland, in the Canton of Geneva. The arrespondencia affirms that useless efforts have been made to induce the Duke of Montpensicr to consent to a marriage between his daughter and the Duke of Genoa. AUSTRIA The Emperor Francis Joseph has telegraphed orders that all capital punishments in Dalmatia shall be sus pended, and that extreme measures are not to be resorted to until all efforts at capitulation have failed. The Imperial order has brought about a cessation of hostil ities on the scene of the war, and there is little new to record. The mountaineers of Bisano and Dragali have shown very little readiness to surrender, and the insurgents of Zieppo, who appeared quite subdued, have again exhibited signs of revolt. They are said to be insti gated by the Greek clergy and a cousin of the Prince of Montenegro, who promises to procure them assistance from abroad. The most influential Dalmatians have requested the Austrian Government to consent to the terms they have proposed to them, and the latter have expressed their readiness to comply with the demand. ECONOMY IN INDIA. Lord Mayo is doing his best to improve the financial situation of India. He has issued an official circular to the heads of departments, directing them to make searching inquiry as to whether reduc tions may not be made. He adds:—" Should you think that, by revision of establishments, a reduction of per sonnel can be effected, your proposal to this effect should be unhesitatingly made without any reference whatever to the interests of individuals. These latter considerations the Government of India will deal with separately, it being considered simply your duty to make every proposal that may seem to you conducive to economy, and not calculated to impair real efficiency." Monthly reports are to be given of the steps taken in this direction. ......." 1 ~44:: .., 5...! _,,;.. t .: -. , „..,,, •; ;I 11, : . e . 1 11 , .. !c0r.., :.1ee-- ,....... . . 7t. ...16,i,, .: Is: : .. .s, , . ~., , _,....„, , . t ! la, ' , 4 heir hale pan tear' . - .4.eee - . - ''!"\ . .

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton.

Powell, the leader of the great Colorado expedition, was born in Mount Morris, Living ston county, Now York, March 24, 1834. In 1846 his father, a Methodist clergyman, removed to Wisconsin, where for several years John led the life of a farmer, oc cupying all his spare hours with study and teaching school. During his course at Oberlin, Ohio, he gave much attention to history and geology, and male numerous excursions about the great lakes and along the Mississippi and other rivers. He served a period of three years and eight months in the army, filling important positions, and acquitting himself on all occasions to the satisfaction of his superior officers. At the close of the war he was appointed to the chair of Geology and Natural History in the Illinois Wes leyan University, where he remained until the spring of 1867, when ho was elected Curator of the Illinois Natural history Society. and Professor in the State Normal Uni versity. He soon after organized an expedition to explore the Park Mountains of Colorado, and the summer of 1867 was given to the mountains about South and Middle Parks, the early summer of 1868 to further research in the Middle Park, the fall and following winter to the examination of the country on the Grand, White, and Yampa rivers, and the last few months to the exploration of the canons of Green and Colorado rivers. Ex-President Pierce's will, which was admitted to probate at Concord, New Hampshire, Tuesday, Oct. 2G, was dated January 22, 1868, and names Josiah Minot as sole executor, who has given bonds of 560,000. The greater portion of an estate of $BO,OOO is given to Frank Hawthorne Pierce, his nephew, now a student at Princeton College. There aro no public bequests, except $l,OOO to the Concord Library. To Henry D. Pierce, his brother, he leaves $7,000 ; to Susan, Henry D.'s wife, $3,000 in her own right ; to Kirk D. son of Henry D., $ lO,OOO ; and to a number of other relatives sums varying from $2OO to $l,OOO each, Una, Julian, and Rose, children of Nathaniel Hawthorne, receiving $5OO each. Similar gifts, chiefly paintings, war relics, and Bouveuiro of public life, are be clutgthld t 9 Pero9o l triadO. TICE CLYDE FIRED UPON. The Bombay papers state that the gunboat Clyde, belonging to the Bombay marine, has been fired on at Muscat. The intelligence was sent to the Government by telegraph, and Captain Douglas of the Daphne proceeded to Poonah to confer with Sir Seymour Fitzgerald on the subject. This event iihews the necessity that exists for providing the Viceroy with a special service in the Persian Gulf. It was expected that the Daphne would shortly put to sea and be placed at the disposal of the Viceroy for this special business. CIIINESR LADOCRERS. The question of Chinese labour is exciting a good deal of interest in the United State::. Mr. Low, the Minister to China., called on President Grant, together with General Sherman and the new Secretary of War, General Pelknof, to talk over the subject. The President admitted that it was of great importance, and agreed with Mr. Low's views. The latter takes a liberal view of the Chinese question, and will. it is thought,prove a useful Minister to theßepublic. Tho controlling influence in China is British, and the Americans complain that their importance is underrated. At San Francisco the labour question is creating much excitement. The planters favour the importations of Chinese, while the commercial and labouring classes urge the encourage ment of European immigration. Koopmanchaap has returned to the city, and will forward 100 Chinamen to work on the Memphis Railroad, Tennessee. lie says that there aro 3,000 Chinamen in California out of employment, and that great numbers are returning to China for the approaching national holiday. PERSIA, Cholera has again made its appearance in Teheran and the adjoining villages, the deaths amounting at ono period to twenty-seven daily. Another source of trouble to the Persians is the nearly total failure of the silk crop, their great staple, owing to a disease among the silk worms. Last year there was a deficiency, but this year it be much greater. Not more than i,r,00 ballots will be available for exportation, in place of the average 20,000. A ballot weighs 751 b., and the average export is wori'l £1,340,000. A LUNATIC ASYLUM ON FIRE. The Licking County Infirmary, Ohio, took firo on the 30th of October, and ten of the inmates perished. They were locked in their cells, and the fire progressed so rapidly that no assistance could be rendered them. No ladders could be procured, and very fow buckets. There were not more than twenty-five or thirty persons on the ground at any one time, and these were compelled to witness the literal roasting alive of the ten inmates in the stone building, who could not be reached. The fire origi sated from the furnace used in heating the building. Mr. W. J. Stillman, late United States Consul at Crete, has written to the Pall Mall Gazette to correct a remark on his latter to the Neologos of Constantinople, about the Greeks. Mr. Stillman says —" Instead of saying that a growing distrust of Russia is not uncommon amongst the Greeks, I should say (and few foreigners have had such an opportunity to judge in this matter as 1) that there aro almost no intelligent Greeks who have not long hold a strong distrust of Russia, and that to-day the prevalent sentiment is that there can be no possible pact or compro mise with her. The only hold that Russia has on Greece now is through the lower clergy, whose influence is now diminishing, and the King, who is controlled by Russia to an extent that makes him little less than a governor acting for that Power." It is announced that two-thirds of the Presby teries have ratified the reunion of the Presbyterian churches by the required majority. The General Assemblies will meet at Pittsburg on November 10, to count the votes and announce the result. The movement in favour of Church amalgamation gains strength in America. There aro cur rents of schism and currents of union, and the current of union is now flowing strongly. As a sign of it, however ridiculous, we may mention that Brigham Young has in vited Mr. Henry Ward Beecher and other great orators of the Church to occupy his pulpit. At the same time, we have to report a schism among the Mormons at Salt Lake, resulting in the suspension of Mr. Stenhouse and the other editors of the Utah Magazine. Stenhouse is one of the fathers-in-law of Brigham Young's eldest son, Joseph. Godbe, Harrison, Tullidgo, Dunbar, and Neslen, all lead ing men had to answer to the church authorities for contu macious conduct, and were excommunicated, as their de fence failed. Their offence was trading on their indivi dual account. Some of the " Saints" distil illicit whisky, and do all they can to evade payment to the assessor of he Internal Revenue, w hom they hate, as he looks sharply after them. This split is regarded as foreshadowing the break down of Mormonism, and is one of the effects of Vice-President's Colfax's late speech. LADVERTISEMENT. I - Holloway's Ointment and Pills. Effectual aid. —ln the sad iiine of sickness it is cheering to know that a remedy does exist, and that it can be pro cured at a little cost. Holloway's ointment and pills aro always useful in relieving pain, in reducing inflammations, and regulating disordered actions. They never can be misapplied, nor can they, under any circumstances, cause mischief. They are a blessing to the rich when tormented by indigestion, gout, skin diseases, &c., and a precious boon to the poor when struck down by illness. Hollo way's medicines should be in possession of all soldiers, sailors, and emigrants, who will then be in a position to ease pain and cure disease when medical assistance cannot be Otitilled
