THE PALL -MALL GAZETTE , An Evening Newspaper and Review. will appear en TUESDAY, February 7. Price Twopence. TUE PALL-MALL GAZETTE. An Evening Newspaper and Review. It is difficult to des gibe the plan of an enterprise like the PA.LL-lIALL AZETTE without seeming to boast, or to decry the efforts of others. But we are unwilling to lose the advantage of a few words of xp'anation, and we therefore trust the candour of the reader for a just interpretation of our meaning. The PALL-MALL GAZ :i:TTE will contain all the news proper to an Evening journal But, addressed as it will notbe to educated men and women, the space of the paper will be occupied by trifling chronicles, nor by that excess ot words • which adds nothing; to she interest of newsi ap nsiderater rreords, while it destroys their si , nificance. Literary coions alone tw ouid determine us to have our News Reports written is plain English ; but beyond these there is the fact that the lessons to be found in many an accident of hum an life areor saliai polity are lost in the turg id language inwhi they commonly narra'eti. Events made known by the Morninc.; Papers may be dis cussed in the PALL-MALL GAZE. rfl 4 l ot the same d.iy, but they wi 1 not be reported anew. Trustwort'iy adviccs from the Money Market will be inc'udel in the Aews of she Day. The rest of the paper ,by far the greater Dart) filch engage be made up of original artic les, upon. t he many things the thoeghts, or employ the energies, or amuse the leisure of mankind. Public Affairs, Literature, the Arts, and all the influences which strenathan or dissipate ziociety, will be dis mised by men whose independence and authority are equally unquestionable, and who are accustomed to regard the public expression of opinion as a serious thing. Tnis Is the elf of aim of the PALL-DIALL GAZETTE : to bring into daily journalism that full meal views. ur of thought and culture which is no w found only in Re e At the same time, we by no means intend to make the paper pedantic or solemn. Humour is too powerful, as well bs too pleasant, to be lett out 01 the design; which will lose none ot the advantages of occasional trifling. If a thing can be said better in verse than in prose, it will be saidinverse. I ,;ptgram, but not spite — burlesque , but not vulgarity—will be readily admitted into its columns ; and since a joke o ften as illustratiN e as an argument , good jokes will be wel come too• is lt will be understood that this sdiertisement is rather a proclamation of idea and of effort than of promise. But the proclamation is not made bet,,re a large number of able writers have accepted the idea, and pledged themselves to the effort.

The China brings us news from New York to the 25th of January, up to which time military affairs re ma i ned i were moving much the same condition. The Federals towards Wilmington, and Admiral PORTER expressed his belief that he would be in posses s i on of to th p e r City before long. It is of as sault; but it m us t be remembered that th e com munication is still open with Richmo n d , and that the Confederates will probably make an effort to retain so important a positio n in their own hands. They are less communicative as to th e i r pl n s than their Northern antagonists , so that it is velavery pro bable that some plan of relieving or assisting Wil mington may be now organised. The rumoured destruction of blockade runners, stores of cotton, &c., which is only a rumour, if true, indicates nothing more than a natural anxiety on the part of the Confederates to prevent such valuable material falling into the enemy's power, while the destruc tion of the works on Smith's Island and the Forts was another prudent precaution. It is not denied that the city is in peril, and therefore it is wise to leave as little to profit Abe federals; ill case of cap ..........---..., d o u t t o h e be m ture, as possible. Charleston is SHERMAN'S next point of a ttac k, an i d eli th e e Te s an xiety to preserve that famouts city is very great. A meeting of citizens, held in tOolumbia, passed re solutions urging the vigorous - prosecution of defen sive measures, an d declaring that the evacuation of Charleston would be disastrous to the Confederacy. In the city itself active steps were being taken to meet a possible attack. Non-combatants were leaving and business suspended, while all Govern ment property, with the exception of arms, was being removed. The garrison was largely rein forced, and the rear of the city was said to be planted with torpedoes. There can be no doubt but that the utmost efforts of the Confederacy wilt be exerted to preserve it, and with every pro spect of success, notwithstanding SHERMAN'S arrogant boast that every point in South Carolina lies at his mercy. He has, it is true, marched through a wide tract of country, and occupied towns, but he has not yet encountered serious and well organised opposition. It is to this point that the Confederate generals should direct all their efforts. They should concentrate their forces, and make the destruction of SHERMAN the first object, prior even to the safety of Charleston or Wilmington. It is likely enough that General LEE, no inexperienced tactician, has some such scheme in hand, and will prove himself worthy of the public confidence by arresting the march of SHERMAN'S army through South Carolina, " the cradle of the rebellion." The Confederate Senate has passed resolutions creating the rank of ' Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate armies, a post, of course, designed for LEE, but which it is doubtful whether he will accept. HOOD has been superseded by JOHNSTONE in the command of the Army of the West, the former general being re lieved, it is said, at his own request. He is a brave and able general, but in his late campaign has for gotten, in his ambition, the prudence that is the better part of valour. By extending his operations , too far, and attempting too much, he allowed SHERMAN to march unmolested through Georgia without gaining the command of Tennessee. THO3IAS is said to be establishing himself in winter quarters, so that no movement need be looked for on his part at present. SHERMAN is said by the Richmond press to have been checked at the Com bahee river, where a Confederate force is opposed to him. The interest of the moment is divided between his proceedings and Wilmington ; but however threatening matters may at first sight appear to be to the Confederacy, it is by no means certain that their prospects are really so dark as it is the interest of their adversaries to paint them. One point in the China's intelligence is especially noticeable.. The peace rumours, we learn, have suddenly dropped. The Confederate Congress has issued an address to the people, assuring them . of its unalterable determination to carry on the struggle for independence with un flagging energy. The Richmond press is warlike in its tone—even the Examiner finding it prudent to go with the stream, declaring that the South can now put half a million fighting men in the field. In the North there is the same renewed eagerness for war. The Daily News asserts that LCOLN, so far from looking for peace, is preparing for a vigorous campaign ; while in the Washington Senate resolutions have been introduced to the effect that no negotiation or compromise can be entered into with the rebels until they make uncon ditional submission to the Federal authority. It will be hoped this will undeceive such Confederates as have been cherishing the hope of a possible arrangement with the North through any other means than the regular channel. It is not because the North finds Davis and his advisers unwilling to make honourable terms that they refuse to appoint authorised negotiators ; it is because they will not admit the independence of the Southern Govern ment, and are determined not to compromise them selves by treating with it as an established Power. Should any of the Southern States be so ill-advised as to attempt a separate negotiation, they will find their mistake too late. The North will en trap them into concessions and admissions from which it will be very difficult to draw back, while on the other hand the Federal Government will carefully abstain from any recognition of the individual sovereignty of States. As for such agents as BLAIR, but little can be hoped from their interference, since the Washington Cabinet is per fectly aware of JEFFERSON DAVIS'S determination to accept no peace that is not based on the one vital foundation of Southern independence. Were he to listen to any proposal short of this he would indeed be unfaithful to his duty, and be betraying the confidence of the people whom he represents as well as governs. He has never attempted to conceal his feelings on this point, which are shared by the whole body politic of the Confederacy. Senator FOOTE, who has been allowed to take his seat in the Richmond Congress, and to give an explanation, which in the North, under similar circumstances, he would have addressed to the walls of Fort Lafayette or Monroe, pretends that his journey northwards was undertaken with the hope of obtaining peace. A moderate expectation truly ! The grandeur of his designs, however, did not prevent a very praiseworthy motion for his .expulsion. The contrast between Northern and Southern rule is very forcibly shown in the cases of FooTE and of the Richmond Examiner. That jour nal is allowed openly to abuse DAVIS, and to call for his deposition, without let or hindrance from the authorities. New York or Washington would hardly shelter one private individual of such independent opinions, much less the editor of a journal. The Federals have also an i n n a g ti t o h n e . war, The Nv hie Shenandoah is certainly unenviable distinction in their manner of conduct ing Valley,° ror i g i n al i 11 of America, is paying a bitter price fo r once al fora t he civilisedgarden SHERIDAN'S zeal for his cause. Not only is terrible suffering occasioned by the lack of food, but what little grain grind. A g l orious there is, no mill s are l e f t to victory, truly, over mills and cor n field s. B ut the humanity of the North is restricted to n egroes _ and to negroes in slavery ---for we hear that 40,000 " contrabands " are in Washington, many of which are perishing for want of food and fuel. So much for Northern sympathy with the blacks ! One item in the news is really amusing. Mr. SEWARD, of all men in the States, is to be sent to England as Federal Representative, whether with the idea of provoking an open quarrel between the two countries, or of awing the Britishers into submis sion, we are not told. It seems hopeless to expect any redress of griev ances from those who are bound up heart and soul in red-tapism and official etiquette—or at all events, if we do expect it, we shall not meet with our desires. The recent case of TIMOTHY DALY occupied a large share of public attention, and excited very general indignation, in consequence of the many glaring errors that existed in his treatment. Those who react the reports and watched th e cour se of the in quiry it e th: reproachebeen and x j u s t ifie c e li p n osure expecti ng tofollow. f o some sig nal in:upon such anomalies as those which were proved to exist at the Holborn uni on. It is rath er t oo muc h t o find that nothi ng i s to come of all f ew wor d s o f censure to the doctor. Really a ß ff e aj a r lly bu i t t is a time that the inanagena en t of the Poor Law Board - underwent a close inspection and a rigorous treat ment by Parliament, for, as at present constituted, the principal object of all engaged in its department appears to be to screen offences and palliate the con duct of offenders. The real interest of those for whose gain the establishment is supposed to be formed are cast to the winds, and the endeavour to obtain attention to grievances is perfectly hopeless. If we are to wait until the other officials of unions and infirmaries volunteer to give evidence against each other we may wait till doomsday for relief for the neglected sick and suffering poor. A more de cided case of mal-treatment and neglect is not likely to be given to the public, and indeed it is only sur prising that so much should have come out; as it is, the secrets of the prison-house are seldom so mani festly disclosed, and for ene victim to workhouse ill treatment whose case is so prominently put forward, there are hundreds who are never heard of beyond the limits of their own immediate circle, who are often too ignorant or too engrossed with their own affairs to heed the particulars, or mark the conse quences of neglect. There was also the evidence of the doctors who observed DALY'S case after he left the Union, and this was as strong as it could be against his treatment prior to their seeing him. In the face of all, however, Mr. FARNALL makes his report, that ignores all against the Holborn Union, and is only virtuously indignant when Mr. SHUTER is treated of. This was the head and front of the offending, and it would be amusing were it not so serious in import and consequences, to mark how the official nonchalance concerning paupers can fire into zeal and spark with vehemence when privileges are trenched upon, and proprieties scan dalised by undue comments upon matters that ought to have been left alone. Mr. SHUTER'S letter to the Times, that was headed " Horrible Case of Union Treatment," was doubtless a great offence, but certainly experience has shown that he was fully justified in so doing, for had he confined his remarks to some private sources no one would have heard of the case. Well might the Coroner say that " he entertained the opinion that remonstrance would be useless to the Holborn Board of Guar dians." Mr. FARNALL must be gifted with a con juror's powers of divination to be able to state that he had ascertained TIMOTHY DALY was supplied with full diet, for these are the most vague and unsatisfactory replies put to questions respecting the matter. Mr. NORTON was decidedly vague when ques tioned concerning this point. He was asked to show one instance of DALY'S having had arrow-root, and he could not, but stated that he knew he had from inquiries of the master and nurse. The evidence concerning the non-attendance of Mr. NORTON on the patient was fully proved by many witnesses, and yet Mr. FARNALL contents himself by only finding fault with his not keeping a book. Perhaps this was the best proof of sense that he showed, for such visits as his were not worth chronicling. However, it is not fair to blame any in an official particular, when the conduct of the heads of the department is so faulty. It appears that it is only in accordance with their ideas of their treatment that paupers should be subjected to serious evils, and all that makes them indignant is to find any one impertinent enough to comment upon their pro ceedings. Were they rightly fulfilling their duties, they would thank any one for pointing out defici encies in the system, and be only too glad to rectify abuses and set matters straight again. Mrs. DALY'S evidence distinctly shows that her husband was neglected. She had a great deal to say, by way of complaint, as to the manner in which her husband was treated while in the Union. lie had said to her that the doctor walked by and never examined him. Ile also said he was getting no medicine whatever, and could not eat ! Mr. SHUTER said that he asked DALY what attention he had from the doctor in the workhouse, and he replied that he had " hardly any," that the doctor and master did not attend to his request to see to him. It is insulting common sense for Mr. FARNALL to put in as evidence that Dr. CARP, declares the dietary said to be given to DALY was all that could have been desired in the case of a man in the patient's condition. What is the use of diet, said to be given, when there has been fre quent evidence to the effect thit DALY did not re ceive proper nourishment. Mr. FARNALL inspected the ward, and found no fault with anything in it, but he did not go there while DALY was in the ward, and thus had no means of seeing that the bed was too short for him, and that his condition was not as it should be. The doctor of St. Bartholomew's Hospital gave it as his opinion that " while the man was suffering from rheumatic fever, such bed-sores ought not to have appeared," and surely his evidence is worth more than that of a hundred doctors who did not see the patient ; but it is otherwise in the opinion of the Poor Law Board. Mr. FARNALL says a great deal about the " dietary" being correct, and the ward being in proper state when he visited it, but he says very little concerning the immediate cause of his death, the " bed-sores," which arose from neglect, and which all the doctors who saw him after he left the Union agreed should not have occurred at all in his case. A more painful instance has seldom been recorded than the history of this poor man's sufferings as they have reached us through the evidence of various persons who saw him, and yet all goes for nothing in the sight of the Poor-law officials. What chance is there for private redress of grievances when publicity like that at tached to this case meets no attention. If the poor of the land are to be subjected to this treatment, who can wonder that they prefer to die in the streets, and starve in out of the way corners, rather than be subjected to the mercy of Union officials, and the justice of Poor-law investigators ? It may also be asked why so long a period has been allowed to go by before this report was published. There could have been no need of the delay, and it is quite Out of character that it should have taken place. No one can be surprised when they read this report that Mr. RUNCIE3IAN should have exhibited so little compunction the other day when his con duct was animadverted upon, and well might he have exclaimed to the jury that their verdict would not do her any harm. It would be difficult to say what would harm one of their charmed circle ; not the strongest evidence of neglect, nor the moral certainty that a life has been embittered or a death hastened by want of care and thought. The rules o t f thehter change destinedPio ; they orLtaweß follow oolanlrod. It is d w are like the laws of the Medes a n d P ers i ans; they are not affected by chance or o a predetermined eatnestly course beurs e hoped that this affair will not be allowed to drop into the obscurity which y may be co nven i en t f or some parties, but w hi c h will not be consonant with the interests of the community or in conformity with the material ideas of consistency. The Parli amen t is on the eve of meeting, and if, before its C l ose, some effort is not made to improve the mechanism and alter the arrangements of the Poor Law Board, a great social wrong will have been effected. It is now evident that no distress or suffering can move them from their fixed determination to recognise the truth of anything that militates against their notions, and this is not the proper condition of things in a Christian country. TIMOTHY DALY has passed from this life, but his case should not be a forgotten to on all wh e o , h a a n v d e h the i s s a p d tale we r o a t n i g d h totpop opportuniaty warn ing t 0 make a change, and effect an alteration in their treatment. At all events, it is a matter of serious regret that Mr. FARNALL should have taken such a view of the affair, and it augurs ill for any remedial change that may be expected from a board of which he is the inspector, and of which he doubtless re presents the opinions pretty accurately. THE SUN LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6, 1865. Napoleon lll.'s Life of Caesar. Private letters from Paris speak of the largo paper edi tion of Vol. I. of the Emperor's " Vie de C6sar" as being ready. One of the early copies, it appears, has been pre sented to the head manager of the Imperial printing estab lishment,' M. Anselme. The number of copies which the Emperor thinks of giving away to the crowned heads of Europo and the principal officers of State is about 1,500. Paragraphs having appeared in several contemporaries re flecting somewhat on the good taste of the French Em peror in selecting Messrs. Cassell, Petter, and Galpin as the publishers of his " Vie de Cesar," when such old and famous firms as Longman and Murray represented the highest interests of English literature, we beg to say that the matter of publication was one of op 3n competition, the highest bidder for the privilege receiving the appointment, and that Mr. Smith, Mr. Brown, or anybody else in Pater noster-row, might have become the publisher, if money sufficient had been offered. The publishing arrangements were left entirely to M. Henri Plon, the Paris publisher, who, from a strictly commercial point of view, listened to that money offer which was the highest. It is asserted in diplomatic circles that the " Life of Caesar," by the Emperor will have a very significant refer ence to the politics of our day, and is meant to have a direct influence thereon. We know no one who has seen the book, therefore it is hard to say if these prophets are war ranted in their assertion. It seems, however, probable that his Majesty has not gone in for so much ink and time without having more than an antiquarian and literary aim. Lifeboat Services. TRORPENESS, SUFFOLK, Saturday Night.—The fishing smack, Leader, of Harwich, Whinney master, with a crew of 10 men on board, was wrecked off Thorpeness last night in a gale from E. by S., and a heavy sea. The crew, with the exception of the master, who would not leave his vessel—left in their own boat and were taken ashore by a yawl. The sea, however, was making so fast that the yawl was unable to return to the smack. The Ipswich (Thorpeness) lifeboat of the National Institution was thereupon launched to the rescue of the master of the smack, who was hauled into the lifeboat from the vessel by means of a line, after bringing up the boat to windward of the wreck, the lifeboat behaving very well in the service. NEWCASTLE, DUNDRUM BAY, IRELAND, Feb. I.—The schooner Susan, of Dublin, bound from Kingstown to Glasgow, went ashore yesterday at 6 p.m. It was blowing fresh from the S.S.E. at the time. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was at once manned and launched, and went off to the vessel. The boat took off the crew of the schooner, consisting of four persons, and brought them safely ashore by 720 p.m. The Ballycotton lifeboat, belonging to the National Institution, also ren dered a few days ago important services to the brig Hans, laden with wheat, from Odessa, which, during a gale of wind, was in distress off Ballycotton. As soon as the ship struck her crew left her. In his hurry the master had left all the money and effects on board. As no open boat could reach the brig, the master entreated the lifeboat might be sent off. His request was complied with, and the boat's crew put out an anchor from the vessel, which was thereby brought round to the sea, and kept in a safe position during the night. The Right Ron. the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Gladstone entertained the Earl and Countess do Grey, Hon. Mr. Brodrick, Miss Burdett Coutts and Mrs. Brown, Mr. and Hon. Mrs. J. Talbot, Mr. Wood, Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Sassoon, and a select party, at dinner on Satur day evening, at their residence on Carlton House-terrace. Mrs. Gladstone had a select party, after dinner. M. THOUVENEL good humouredly contradicts the news of his own death in the following characteristic manner :—" Monsieur,—l cannot tell you how much I feel the flattering terms in which your journal announces my death. But a few rheumatic twinges do not, thank God, prevent me from being very well. The dead person of my name is one of my uncle; whom I have had the misfortune to lose at the age of 90. Although I have been a Minister, and am one no longer, I have yet some friends in Franco and elsewhere, and I should be much obliged to you to reassure them by inserting this letter in your next number. Pray receive, with my thanks, the assurance of my most dis tinguished consideration.—THOUVElCEL. GENERAL M'CELLAN IN LIVERPOOL—GeneraI M'Clellan, the well-known Northern General, and one of the late candidates for the Presidency of the North ern States, arrived in Liverpool yesterday morning from New York, on board the Cunard steamer China. He is accompanied by his wife, child, and servant, and will, it is understood, spend the year in travelling over Europe, for the double purpose of recruiting his wife's health and of studying European military science. The New York World, in speaking of the General's journey, says General MCClellan will sail for Europe to-day, in the steamship China, with his wife and child. The General bimself leaves the country at this time with some reluc tance ; but the health of Mrs. APClellan is such that their medical advisers counsel a brief residence abroad as necessary to its restoration. They will remain in England but a few days, in France hardly longer, and will proceed at once to Rome, remaining there several weeks, and thence to Dresden, or perhaps the south of France, for the summer months, returning probably in the fall or early winter. There will be no American abroad, not even in the diplomatic circles, better able than General M'Clellan to represent our cause aright, since he will speak not only for that one-half of the loyal North who cast their votes for his election to the chief magistracy, but for all those who love the Union and are determined that it shall be re stored." The General and his family are staying at the Adelphi Hotel. . THE MAsrm HERCULES.—At the meeting of the Pontifical Academia of Archaeology, held on the 12th ult., Commendatory Visconti proposed that the Bronze Her cules should be called the Mastai Hercules, to recall to posterity the name which Pius IX. has rendered so august and so great. This proposal was not only approved, but received with acclamations by the assembly.

SUPPOSED CONFEDERATE CRUISER.---The Pkare de la Loire states that the suspicions of the French Government have been excited as to the real character of tho steam-ram Olinde, which recently arrived at the Isle of Houat under the Danish flag, and left again after re ceiving a quantity of coals from the French steam-tug Expeditif, and transferring to the latter vessel the Danish crew, consisting of 42 persons. Some of the crew of this last-named vessel recognised the Olindo as an ironclad theyram a c e t e n t t l h y a t c o s n o o s t n r u a c f t t e e d r f a e a t v ßordeaux o f f o f r n d D e e t n h n e l y a r s k, aw and English steamer approach her and transfer on board a great number of largo cases and barrels. One of the officers on board the Olinde offered the crow of the Expe ditif 175 f. per month to servo on board the ram, first to Lisbon, and thence for a five months' voyage. The stoker and a sailor named Guercho accepted the offer, but when the latter found the Olinde was a war N essel, and that all the men on board were armed with revolvers, cut lasses, &c., he jumped into a boat and succeeded in getting back to the Expeditif. When this last named vessel re turned to Noantes the crew stated what they had seen, and were afterwards examined by Viscount de Beaufonds, Com missary-General of Marine, who immediately communi cated with the Danish consul. The real character of the Olinde will no doubt soon be ascertained. The crew of the Olinde are generally of opinion that she is a Confederate cruiser.—Galipani. CAPTURE OF FORT FISHER.—The American corre spondent of the Morning Advertiser writes that the newspapers are still much occupied in discussing the great victory obtained by the capture of Fort Fisher ; while the Southern Press endeavour to put the best possible face upon the fall of the fort, and the sealing up of their last port to blockade-running, by stating that it is "a blessing in disguise," and that the South will henceforward bo called upon to rely still further upon our resources, ite. A correction has been made in regard to the time when the successful assault was performed on Fort Fisher. In former notices it was mentioned to have w oc h c i u e rr h e e d ulm at in l a o ted p. i m n . 1 a.m., the garrison having been taken complet el y b y sur prise. h was o madeat t a c a k , t After repulsing the previous assault s, the y retired the T ea hi p s tu w re as o a f ntheerrfoorrt!, to their bombpro)fs for the night, believing that no further attempts would be made to capture the works until after daybreak. ,But at 1 a.m. the moon was shin in g bri g htl y , a fact whi c h should have kept the Confederates on their guard, and their want of vigilance proved a great victory for the North, and a sad, very sad blow for the South. THE AMPHION.—Some hopes are now entertained of the screw -steamer, Amphion, 1,700 tons, being got off the sands at Sherringham, Norfolk.

The bill brought forward by the Government in the Chamber of Deputies fixes the annual military contingent at the proportion of 11 in every 1,000 of the male population. The Minister of Marine has requested authority to contract a loan of £9,000,000, for the construction of a fleet. The Patriotic Association is circulating a petition to the King, requesting the incorporation of the Duchies with Prussia. PORTUGAL. LISBON, JAN. 30. The King and Queen of Portugal have returned from Cintra, and are now residing at Apida. The reply to the Speech from the Throne has been unanimously voted by the Chamber of Deputies. The Official Gazette has published the new regu lations for the Custom Houses of Lisbon and Oporto. The majority in the Cortes is divided on the sub ject of the Soutulho question, of which so much political capital has been made. There are besides other points on which the Opposition intend to make a stand. Many people consider a change of Ministry probable, the Duke de Loule remaining President of Council, but all the other portfolios changing hands. The weather continues very wet and stormy. The country near Coimbra and the banks of the Tagus above Lisbon are flooded. Business is very dull in every branch, and there is a great scarcity of money.

THE AMERICANIVAn.—On the whole the situation of the Confederates has become rapidly worse within the last three months. The appointment of Gen. Joseph Johnston to the command of Hood's army can scarce re store the Confederates what they have lost in the west, and it is, if actual, a confession of error on the part of Presi dent Davis, which shows the strength of the opposition to his rule evoked by the recent misfortunes of the South. Lee cannot be everywhere, and cannot do everything. If the Northern papers can be trusted, the Confederates have at last abandoned pride and principle so far as to arm a portion of their negroes ; and 200,000 of those sable auxiliaries are said to be undergoing instruc tion just at the very moment that the North begins to ex perience the utmost difficulty in obtaining recruits. Up in the clouds, over all the tumult of marching, the clang of arms, and the din of battles, are heard seraphic voices, sing ing of peace and goodwill ; and gold goes up and down like mercury in a barometer as the news of missions and their failures agitate the stock exchanges of the North. Presi dent Davis cannot consent to reunion ; President Lincoln cannot offer him any other condition ; but a truce may be patched up on the base of common aggression against sup posed foreign enemies, with the understanding that the great domestic difference may be left for final adjustment to a victorious future.—Army and Navy Gazette. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY IN PARIS.—An ex traordinary robbery was committed at one of the last performances of "Linda di Chamouni" at the Italian Opera, Paris. The Empress was present on the night in question. A box within three or four of the one occupied by the Empress attracted the attention of the house, from the peculiar magnificence of the costume worn by a foreign lady, who, accompanied by her husband, had entered it at the commencement of the first act. The lady's dress bespoke an Eastern origin, but the peculiar form and exquisite workmanship of her diamond earrings excited great admiration. Her husband quitted her for a few moments between one of the acts. A low knock at the door of the box attracted the lady's notice; a most gentleman-like person presented himself, bearing a message from her Majesty, expressive of her groat admiration of the ear-rings worn by the lady, and hor extreme curiosity to be allowed to look at one for a few seconds. The lady somewhat astonished complied instantly with the soi-disant equerry's request, and a few seconds afterwards, on her husband's return, related the circumstances. To him the story seemed improbable, and on inquiry from one of her Majesty's suite he ascertained it to be the device of a robber ; but too late. The next morning the husband started early to give all the details to the Prefect of Police, when about half an hour after he had left his hotel, a person from the Prefecture asked to see the lady, and producing a letter from M. le Prefet, explaining the necessity of at once depositing the remaining ear-ring in the hands of the police, in order to facilitate the search for the one abstracted •n the previous night. The lady acceded to the demand of the detective with less hesitation than to the polito equerry, and Cartouche's rival possessed a pair of rare diamond pendeloqua instead of one. A closely fitting dark dress, tightly buttoned to the throat and a huge beard hav ing transformed the quondam equerry, got up in an even ing dress of faultless perfection, into an active police agent. NEWSPAPER STATISTICS.—From the "Newspaper Press Directory" for 1865 we extract the following on the present position of the Newspaper Press :—" There aro now published in the United Kingdom 1,271 news papers, distributed as follows :—England, 944 ; Wales, 41; Scotland, 140; Ireland, 132; British Isles, 14. Of these . there are-48 daily papers published in England, lin Wales, 11 in Scotland, 12 in Ireland, and 1 in the British Isles. On re ference to the edition of this useful Directory for 1856, we find the following interesting facts, viz., that in that year there wero published in the United Kingdom 799 journals. Of these 37 were issued daily, viz., 15 in London, 10 in the provinces, 7 in Scotland, and 5 in Ireland; but in 1865 there are now established and circulated 1,271 papers, of which no less than 73 are issued daily, showing that the press of the country has largely extended in the interval, and the daily issues 73 against 37 in 1856. The magazines now in course of publication, including the quarterly reviews, number 554 ; of these 208 are of a decidedly reli gious character, and by which the Church of England, Wesleyans, Methodists, Baptists, Independents, and other Christian communities are duly represented. INTELLIGIBLE, AND, WE PRESUME, CHARAC TERISTIC.—The following advertisement is from a Wilmington paper :—" I want it distinctly under stood that no goods will be delivered by me without the money, It is useless to ask credit, for I'll be —if I give it. MCoumicii." ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAYS-INN-ROAD.--The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending Vet.. 4 was 3,238, of which 1,039 were new CaIR% French Theatricals. ODEON.—A very smart little comedy in three short acts, the work of M. Pailleron, already favour ably known by his dramatic efforts, has made a decided hit at this theatre. Its title, "Le Second Mouvement," is a kind of index to the plot, which, in point of fact, works out the cynical aphorism fathered on Talleyrand—" Il faut toujours se defier de son premier mouvement, car c'est sou vent le bon !" An old savant of the name of Valin—who has discovered some wonderful pro cess for extracting a new dye out of deal boards or some other substance, which appears quite as unlikely to be turned to ornamental purposes as coal-tar, &c., &c.—suddenly dies. He leaves behind him his discovery—in itself a fortune in the hands of a practical man—and his only daughter_; the dis covery, he had, before his death communicated to a - wealthy merchant at Louviers. The daughter is left quite unprovided for. The merchant, whose heart has not been preternaturally hardened by the intoxication of fortune, and his wife, consult each other. They think it a great shame that they should be pocketing enormous profits out of the old savant's secret, whilst his daughter is thrown upon the world to shift for herself. They therefore adopt her as a daughter of their own. This is le pre mier nzouvement—the first good and generous impulse—it is but short lived. They soon begin to repent of their generosity ; the young lady may presume too much from a position she owes solely to their benevolence. She may—horrible idea !—conceive the notion of becoming the wife of their son ! In short this worthy but very worldly couple are beginning to repent having followed the dictates of a higher nature, and, yielding to all manner of sordid dirty little impulses, feel decidedly inclined to make their quondam protegee " feel her position." This is the " second movement." There is little doubt but what they would have acted upon it, but M. Pailleron contrives to sober them by sudden ruin, and then by the means of the young lady, who seems to be the pivot of the piece, proceeds to reinstate them in their former position of comfort and affluence. The savant's daughter of course marries their son, and all ends merrily as a marriage bell. The plot of this little piece is singularly well worked out, and its success was complete. Its only drawback is the fact of its being in verse. There is something indescribably ludicrous in gentlemen in white chokers and cutaway coats and ladies rejoic ing in all the modern amplitude of crinoline, con versing together in Alexandrines. With a great deal of tact, however, the actors deliver the verse in such a way as to make it sound very like prose, and as the dialogue is witty and the play a good one in itself, the author's furor poeticus cannot be said to have done him any harm. Thiron, Romanville, Laroche, and Mmes. Romelli and Mose in the prin cipal parts showed themselves consummate artistes. LYRIQUE.—Prince Poniatowski is well known throughout the musical world, not only as a capital musician, but as a composer of no little distinction. As to the popularity of his works opinions may vary, but there can be no doubt that if melodic inspiration occasionally fails, he has com pletely mastered the arcana of the science. He has just produced at this house an opera called " L'Aven turier," which has been fairly successful, and it may be said that its favourable reception was solely due to the music, and in spite of the libretto, than which it is impossible to find anything more preposterously absurd, eminently distinguished as such kind of things are for absurdity. The hero, Don Ma noel, is a Spanish grandee, who, moved by a spirit of adventure, goes to Mexico in search of a new sensation. To secure that desirable ohject he lauds with just two dollars in his pocket, and no sooner does he touch terra firma, then he hands them to a mysterious beggar who prowls about the beach in most Bohemian attire• Being wholly destitute of money he goes through a variety of adventures meant to be romantic and decidedly improbable—and finally the beggar, who turns out to have been a very great Don in disguise, makes his appearance in the very nick of time to rescue l'Aventurier cut of his difficulties, and in return for his two dollars makes him the handsome present of a gold mine, which will enable him to marry the Viceroy's daughter ! The music is light and agreeable—but not striking. It would however do credit to a professional musician, and cannot but add to the reputation of its distinguished composer. The orchestration is more remarkable than the vocal part, and the skill with which the instruments are blended with the voices cannot be passed over without commendation. Monjauze and Mmes. and de Maesen and Faure-Fefebvre sustained the chief parts with ability, and the chorusses discharged their duty with perfect ensemble. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Since the American news per the China, holders have partially got over the peace panic, and a deal of cotton has been withdrawn from the market. There is a good demand this morning at advancing prices. Sales, probably 12,000 bales. A STATUE OF JAMES WATT is proposed to be erected at Birmingham. THE GREAT TRIENNIAL HANDEL FESTIVAL of four thousand performers, it is gratifying to remember, will be held at the Crystal Palace in the last week of June.

MASTER WILLIE PAPE has received an invitation through his patroness, the Countess Cowley, to play before the Emperor and Empress at the Tuileries. MADAME LEMMENS SHERRINGTON is to sing at the Cologne Festival this summer. THE DESERTIONS FROM THE NORTHERN ARMIES have become very serious, to the great wonder of the Federal journals. But it is not wonderful. The de serters aro generally substitutes and bounty jumpers, who have more taste for dollars than for fighting. These miserable men are now to meet the extreme penalty of mi litary law. Already the executions have become pretty frequent. A New York journal records with great equani mity the following list of executions in the Eastern army : —" December 16, three men ; December 23, four men; De cember 30, one man : January 6, four men, were executed for desertion." The "military spirit" is gaining ground rapidly, and the Americans promise to be as docile as Rus sians before the campaign is over.—Army and Navy Gazette.
