Sir R. MuncinsoN, who was in the chair, before the business of the meeting commenced, expressed the regret he felt at the death of Dr. Barth, and which all geographers must deplore, whose explora tions and surveys in Central Africa had added ma terially to the knowledge of that continent. He then alluded to his notice at the previous meeting of the failure . of two other expeditions into Africa, and said he was happy to announce that the disas ters that had attended them had not been by any means so serious as the first accounts represented. M. Du Chaillu had succeeded in penetrating 200 miles of wild hilly country, not before explored, when he was compelled to turn back, and he had brought•with him a large number of astronomical observations, which were now being, discussed by the Astronomer-Royal. M. Du Chaillu had drawn up an account of his expedition, which would be pre sented at the next meeting of the society. With re gard to the expedition of Baron "Vander Decken on the eastern coast of Africa, he was glad to say that the accounts of the loss sustained had been greatly exaggerated. He had lost only one of his boats, and that the smaller one, and the last letters stated that he was preparing to ascend the river Juba in the and every one success. wseplilrelu, equipped, delt confident of d f larger n board w as whichn high w its a ;.Lion Hall, says. dings ray is prices - DUBLIN I XHIBITION, 18 5.

We would not be too quick in construing this to be an unfriendly act of the new Cabi net. The fact that our Minister did not ask the detention of any one tonnected with the ship is an indication that in his judgment no such claim could be sustained. In our present limited knowledge of the facts, it is our business to assume that he refrained from acting for good reasons.

COUNTERFEIT GREENBACKS.-Tho following counterfeit greenbacks are in circulation in the United States, accord ing to Thompson's Bank Note Reporter, and, as many of them, no doubt, find their way to England, a description may be of service to banks, Exchange brokers, and Ame rican visitors : is. on U.

The pink seal is badly done, and the border of the note, which consists of repetitions of the letter X. is very irregular. The appear ance of the bill altogether is bad. Also $2O. Very coarse, and poorly done. 50s. on the U. S. Legal Tender Notes (Greenbacks). Imitation. May be detected by the four buttons on Hamilton's vest, which are very distinct on the genuine, but scarcely discernible on the counterfeit. The back of the countel feit is a darker green than the genuine. Also $5O. Well calculated to deceive. The head of Hamilton and the die work are rather course, and have the somewhat blurred appearance often seen in genuine bills, when, from defect of paper or ink, the impression is im perfect and greasy. Other parts of the bill, and especially the back, are splendidly executed. The signatures of the treasurer and register are perfect. _ _ Also $lOO.

While in numerous instances, no doubt, the public taxes press heavily, and for persons of fixed and limited in comes the times are hard, yet it will be readily conceded that no national expenditure ever created less dismay, and no taxation was ever more cheerfully borne. Reasons for this feeling are founded on something better than vain confidence. They grow out of an intelligent comprehen sion of the necessity that existed for the creation of such a debt, and a knowledge of the resources that may be relied upon for its payment. The tax-gatherer, in most coun tries of the old world, is looked upon as an unmitigated evil or a public highwayman, who takes your money to pay the armies that restrain your liberty. Tho English man, indeed, perceives that the income of his Consols de pends very much on the state of the Exchequer, but in nearly every other country of Europe the expenditure of the year exceeds the income, and the great problem is how and where to borrow. In the year 1793 the debt of Great Britain was $1,205,413,372. In 1816 it had increased to $4,205,621,530. In 1862 it was $3,690,075,357. That of the United States, on the 30th of September, was $2,744,947,726 17. The revenue of England in 1862 was $322,184,000. The revenue of the United States, judg ing from the returns for the three months ending Sep tember 30, is at the rate of $ 5 60,000,000 per annum ; or, in other terms, our debt is one-third less and our revenue more than two-thirds greater than that, of Great Britain. The debt of Franco in 1863 was $1,902,238,400, while her expenditure exceeded her income by $67,127,972. Austria owes a public debt of $1,108,267,239, while the annual expenses exceeded the income in 1862 by $35,087,462. In fact there are but few European States whose income exceeded their expenses by a small sum, while many of them are plunging into the abyss of debt at from $200,000 to over $60,000,000 annually. When we reflect on those things and remember that the American war debt has already been reduced nearly $16,000,000, end that the annual revenues are not only sufficient to pay the interest, but at present rates will soon swallow up the principal, there is reason for faith in U.S. bonds and for a fearless confidence in the community generally. All this is not after years of peace and commercial prosperity, but at a time when, if ever, the credit of the country might well be supposed to have received a shock. It may indeed sur prise the future student of political economy to learn that which were produced a u c c t e u d al n ly o such the contest which carried distress and calamity into the results those districts wr of f G wag ing war. If this was in the green tree what shall be in the dry ? When the activity repressed, or turned into warlike channels, turns to the courses of civil industry with the oher n States Groat Britain t v force of a rebound, the effect must lie still more sriking. The people may well appreciate and confide in, as they do, that statesmanship which achieved so much, and rode out tho otorm oo well.—Xoseon ,Tournal. Moreover, the surrender of the Shenandoah to our Consul at Liverpool as a Confederate war vessel, and his acceptance of the ship in that character, precludes us from all complaint against the British authorities for discharg ing the officers and crew. We could have no claim for the extradition of those men, except as pirates. Whether piracy committed upon ships on the high seas comes with in the scope of the Ashburton Treaty, which relates only to felonies committed "within the jurisdiction" of either nation, is a debatable point. But were our claim for the extradition for piracy under the treaty ever so clear, we should be stopped from pursuing it by our acceptance of the ship as a Confederate vessel of war. If the vessel it self retained that belligerent character, no hostile act com mitted against our commerce by those on board of it could have been piratical. Having accepted the Shenandoah as a Confederate vessel, it is not for us to denounce the British Government for treating its officers and crew as mere belligerents, and not trying them for piracy in its own tribunals. Yetit is morally certain that the actual offence of piracy was committed, Conceding that the Shenandoah had a belligerent character up to the close of the rebellion, and indeed up to the time when the news of that close reached the seas which the ship was infesting, it then lost its cha racter and became a cruiser without a flag. Captain Waddell's pretence that he continued to sail for months in ignorance that the Confederacy no longer existed is bald impudence. He had no official notification of the fact, and could have none, because the authority which commis sioned him no longer existed. But American captains have made affidavits that they personally made known to him the fact of the termination of the war long before he ceased to make war. What is more probable not one of the vessels which he boarded and destroyed during the summer months was without some newspaper from the Pacific coast, or other quarter, abounding with conclusive evidence that the Confederacy had come to an end. There has not been a copy of an American newspaper published for tho last seven months from which any man not abso lutely idiotic could not gather that the Richmond Govern ment was no longer in existence. Waddell unquestion ably knew all through the summer that he was robbing and burning without any living authority ; and yet, ac cording to his own published statement, it was the very last day of summer before he shipped his guns and stopped his work. Whatever he may originally have been, he became a pirate to all intents and purposes ; and no pirate ever more richly deserved hanging. Were he in the hands of our Government hanging would almost cer tainly be his fate. But as the matter has turned, he has as good a prospect as any other man of dying in his bed. it is a curious result, and not very creditable to the boasted civilization and law of the age. (New York Herald.) What our Government has now to do is to demand the unconditional surrender of the Shenandoah, just as we de manded and obtained the ram Stonewall of Spain—not under the ridiculous assumption that wo are heirs of rebel effects, but as property confiscate to us by acts of lawless ness committed against our commerce and of outrage against our flag. We do not believe England will refuse to concede our unconditional right to the pirate now in her waters any more than we at one time conceived it prudent to surrender Mason and Slidell to her. The cases are not precisely parallel, but the difference is all in our favour. In regard to Captain Waddell we apprehend we shall have no material difficulty. Being regarded as a pirate by Great Britain, and ourselves knowing him to be such, we have only to remind the British Government that we have an extradition treaty with them which requires the rendition of all criminal offenders against the laws of either power. On this ground the United States will demand Waddell, anti punish him as the laws and courts of our country shall decide. England cannot deny this claim, or refuse to grant it ; or, if she do, she may find in an incredibly short time Fenian Shenandoahs on the St. Lawrence and Fenian Alabamas on the seas. pastor' Journal.) The final appearance of this piratical cruiser shows that occasionally Wash " chickens, like curses, come home to roost." The London Time 3 calls it an " unwelcome and untoward event," and all the other British organs are busy hammering out logical excuses and arguments against any demands on the part of the United States before our Government bad the least information of the matter. These are signs of a troubled conscience, and we have no doubt that the news of the Shenandoah's having been en gulfed in a hurricane, or captured by a United States' frigate, would have been heartily welcomed, in preference to the present state of things. But it was fated that some of the most important items in the great bill of issues now making up between the Governments of the United States and Great Britain should not be blotted out nor slurred over by any such contin gencies. It is not creditable to the English presses that we already see them resorting to sophistries to break the force of this unwelcome return of the Shenandoah. Where else should she have gone? She was built, and equipped, and armed, and manned in and from England. There never was a ship immortalised by the English song-writers that was more thoroughly British than this same piratical Shenandoah. She was the creation of British capital, she was launched amid British sympathies, she was let out to sea through a negligence which had the same effect as the connivance' of the British Government, and her piratical exploits were received with ill-disguised complacency by the British public—and so, when her career of plunder and piracy was at an end, she simply went home. _ _ What is the British nation going to do about it ? No amount of talking will have a feather's weight. They have laws of their own and international laws. If Capt. Waddell and his crow are not at least brought to the forms of a trial the inference, of course, will be that they have done no thing worthy of being called to account, and that British approval extends from the beginning to the close of their nefarious enterprise. We shall know how to deal with such a conclusion, for it would be substantially the same as if the British iron -clad, the Black Warrior, had run out and destroyed fifty or sixty of our merchant ships on the coast of England. The English papers have already raised the question whether Capt. Waddell did not continue his depredations long after he knew, or might have known, that the war was at an end, and thus became, in fact, an absolute pirate. Very well, this is a question that can be settled. There stand open the British courts, with the reputation of being as good as any in the world ; there are Capt. Waddell and his 130 companions, and there are the means competent to draw testimony from all quarters of the globe. Now let us see, then, what mother England proposes to do in this matter. That she really thinks of ending it by giving up to us the naked ship, and saying nothing about the men, is too preposterous for a moment's belief. SUSPICIOUS ASSOCIATION IN THE UNITED STATES.—The Montreal Witness of the 16th inst. says : " Can any one tell what is the object of a regularly orga nised association, composed exclusively of French Cana dians, all over the United States, with a central committee and annual conventions ? Do the interests of this class in the States suffer in any special way, or is the sole object of the association to exert an influence ? Are they going to try to enlighten their friends at home, and awaken the somewhat passive French Canadian mind to new life ?

P. Pilbrow were - indicted for setting fire to a stack of hay . on the 27th of August, at Aldershott, the property of R. J. Strevold. Mr. Bullen was counsel for the prosecution. It appeared that about 1 o'clock in the morning of the 27th of August the police saw that the rick was on fire, and proceeded to the spot. Upon searching about they found Pilbrow lying on the ground on his back. He was asked what he was doing there. He said he was all right. The police told him they should take him into custody on a charge of having set the rick on fire. Pilbrow said, "Don't do that; lam all right. I came here with a friend to lie down." He was searched, and a Lucifer match and two newspapers were found upon him. Another field was then searched, and Davis was found lying down in a furrovi' among some potatoes. He was taken into custody. The fire had been burning more than an hour when the pri soners were found. They were not near each other when found, but they had been seen together in Aldershott between 11 and 12 o'clock that night. There had been fires at Aldeishott, and 10 cottages were burnt down one night. Both the prisoners said before the magistrates that they had been drinking, but not together. Davis said he was going to his lodgings, but was so drunk that he fell down and went to sleep. Pilbrow said that he was very drunk, and he went and lay down, and slept until he WllB-111VQ4 by the police and taken to the station: They now both declared that they were strangers to each other, and that they were innocent. The damage done amounted to £lOO. The rick was so far from any house that the fire could not have been accidental. The learned Judge having summed up, The jury retired for some time, and then returned a verdict of guilty with no malicious intent. The Judge said he did not understand the jury. If any person intentionally set a rick on fire that amounted to the charge. The jury said they believed they had set the rick on fire, but they did not know whether it might not have been an accident. ten T ti h o e n J al u ly dge se s t aid th i e f threiyekthoonugfihtret,hethpenristohneeyrswienre guilty. They had better reconsider their verdict. The jury said the majority were for finding them " Guilty.' They then retired. In about half an hour the jury again returned into court, and gave a verdict of guilty against both prisoners. Davis then said . the forma' verdict was the cor rect one • he had not set fi r e t o th e r i c k e i t h er intentionally or with his own knowledge. Pilbrow said he was innocent. The Judge said drunkenness was no excuse for crime, and if the crime was committed while the party was drunk it mist be expiated when sobriety returned ; they must be kept in penal servitude for five years. James Stone was indicted for setting a stack of wood on fire at Aldershott, on the 10th September. Mr. Russell prosecuted. The rick was seen to be on fire in the middle of the night. The prisoner was seen near the fire, and going from it, and he afterwards returned to the fire and assisted in putting it out. After the fire was out the prisoner said he should not go home that night. The chief witness against the prisoner was a lad who was acquitted of an offence yesterday. He stated that in coming to the court in the van yes terday he asked the prisoner what he was in for, and he said, " I set fire to a rick of wood, and I shall be lucky if I get off with three years." Upon being pressed, however, he said the prisoner said, " People say I set the risk on fire." The Judge said it would be unsafe to convict upon this evidence, and he, therefore, directed an acquittal. Thomas Brown and Joseph Cherry were indicted for setting fire to a rick of wheat, at Aldershott, on the 27th of August. Beetham prosecuted, and Mr. Bowen de fended Cherry. It appeared that Robert Allden, a farmer, was aroused before 12 o'clock on the night of the 27th of August by a cry of " Fire !" He got up and sent for the engines. Ile proceeded to the fire. The prisoners were taken from under some straw which was probed with a barley fork. They were covered with straw. The straw was many yards from the burning stack. The people who were at the fire wanted to burn the prisoners. Brown said, "We left two men in the road while we went into the field and done." The provost-sergeant took Brown on his shoulder and said, " Before you are burnt you had better tell." Brown said they had not done it. The prisoner said they were going " hopping," and had lain down in the straw to sleep and rest themselves. Mr. Bowen, in addressing the Court for Cherry, complained that upon the evidence they had heard these prisoners had been committed to gaol, where they had already been for three months, and had it not been for this winter assize they must have remained in prison until the March assizes. Ile then urged the want of motive. As to matches being found upon them, there wore very few persons on the tramp who did not carry matches with them to light their pipes. It was clear that these men, who were strangers, were proceeding to the hop country, and had crept under some straw to obtain rest. Brown said they had been travelling a long way the day before with little to eat, going hopping, When they saw this straw they thought they might rest under it, as it was a very cold night. They covered themselves with the straw, and slept sounder, he supposed, than any person ever did before, and he was awoke by some one trampling on his head. A clergymen from Sussex came forward and said that Cherry had lived in his parish all his life. He bore the very highest character possible, and was a most sober man. A brother of the clergyman also spoke in the same high terms of Cherry. Both gentlemen had come long distances to give Cherry this character. The jury acquitted both the prisoners. The Judge said he did not mean to say that now there was any suspicion against the prisoners, but he thought the magistrates were justified in sending the case for investigation. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—YORK, Dec. 12. (Before Mr. Justice Shee). Thomas Locker was charged with firing a loaded pistol at Eleanor White with intent to murder her, and was further charged with firing the pistol with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Shepherd prosecuted ; Mr. Waddy defended. The prosecutrix, a young girl 15 years of age, re sided with her mother at Whitby. The prisoner, _a youth of 18 or 19, also lived in the same place. He had kept company with her, but she had ceased to go with him in consequence of her mother's orders. About 7 in the evening of the 12th of October last the prosecutrix was in Baxter-gate-street, looking in at a shop window,when she heard a whistle, and on turn ing round she saw the prisoner standing in a pass age leading to Smith's-yard. She went across to him. The prisoner went up the yard and the prosecutrix fol lowed him. She told him that her mother would himselfoul dnot allow her to go with him. He then placed between the passage and her top a reventher returning to the street. At the other en of were steps leading to the The th g e ir y l ard trie t d he t r o e the esca steps ep b s y th t e hesteps. lls ci s u li a e y w as about to mount prisoner fired a loaded pistol at her ; the shot passed on her left, peppering her straw hat, and occasioning five or six small wounds on the left side of her head. She was rendered insensible, and as she fell the p r i soner j umpe d over h er head and ran away. The prisoner was apprehended the same evening. A loaded pistol was found upon him, and some powder and shot. When charged with this offence he said, " I wish I had blown her brains out." The jury found the prisoner guilty of firing the pistol with intent to do oTievous bodily harm. His lordship sentenced the prisoner to five years' penal servitude. The court are now engaged in trying the last case. The assizes will finish this afternoon. PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE DEPARTURE OF THE SATURDAY'S AMERICAN MAIL FROM LIVERPOOL.—After an animated discussion, the LiVerpool Chamber of Commerce on blondayresolved to memorialise the postmaster-General to change the day for despatching the mails from Liver pool to the United States from Saturday to Friday. Th e memorialists urge that the present arrangement is incon venient and unnecessary ; that Friday, especially in Liver pool, is the business termination of the w eek, an d that an late news and despatches might ea sil y be tel egraphed to Queenstown, as both in Londo n, Liverpool, and other large towns, most letters to foreign correspondents are written on Friday, the day on which mercantile circulars are invariably published. With reference to the conveni ence of answering letters on Saturday, when the incoming steamer arrives the same day, the memorialists state that this might still be arranged by despatching the steamer from New York a day earlier than at present. The first paper, " On Madagascar," contributed by Capt. ROOKE, R.N., gave an account of a boat journey along the coast lakes on the east of the island. He commenced his journey in a light boat in April, 1864, commencing at Tamatavi, situated about the 18th degree of south latitude, and he travelled south wards for 400 miles, in which course he traversed a series of lakes near the coast, crossed many rivers, and had to carry the boat over 20 miles of land. The country along the range of lakes seemed very fertile, and was well watered by many rivers that flowed from the mountains in the centre of the island. The next paper was on Ankova and the royal or sacred cities of Madagascar, by the Rev. W. ELLIS, a missionary, who gave an interesting account of the progress of Christianity in the island, and of the manners and character of the people. lie had been in Madagascar 14 years, during the first seven of which there had been the most cruel persecution of professing Christian converts, many of whom were put to death for having abandoned idolatry. The Queen who then reigned in the island ruled in the most arbitrary and tyrannical manner, and cruelly killed those who offended her without any restraint. When she died there was great rejoicing in the island, and her son, who succeeded her, favoured the Chris tians. He did not live long, but his widow who reigned after him continued her protection to the missionaries, and all further persecution ceased. Mr. Ellis ascribed the great bitterness of feeling enter tained by the idolatrous natives to the Christian converts to reverence for their ancestors. Every thing belonging to them was respected, and no one would do anything that it might be thought their spirits would object to ; and as they worshipped idols when living it was considered they would take great offence when dead to see the idols despised. The interior of the country is very hilly, and there are three mountains of great height—one of them 13,000 feet above the level of the sea, and the valleys abound in cattle. A great part of Mr. Ellis's paper was occupied with the narration of native legends, and with descriptions that had little re lation to geography, at which some of the audience became rather impatient. A great number of interesting photograghs taken by Mr. Ellis were on the table, representing dif ferent parts of the country, and more par ticularly the inhabitants and their occupations. One of these photographs showed the interior of a school, another the national assembly of the people, and others the costumes of the natives, and some of the most distinguished personages. From these pictures, rather than from the account given by Mr. Ellis, it appeared that the nfltives of Madagascar, who reseinble African negroes, have made consider able advances in the arts, their buildings being con structed with some architectural pretension. Mr. CI:AI:FORD attributed part of the civilisation of the natives of Madagascar to the Malays, whose language is discernible in many of the words in common use in the island. Lord Strangford and two or three other members made a few remarks on the paper ; and Sir P. Murchison announced that at next meeting, on Jan. Bth, M. Du Chaillu would be present, and would read a paper on his explorations in Africa. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. Australia and New Zcaland, via Southampton.. —Dec. 19.

All that we require of England and Franco now is to keep civil and step up to the captain's office and settle. Otherwise we assure them that our causes of quarrel with t hem will keep, like a barrel of mackerel well salted, until the p ro p er da y of reckoning shall arrive. We now have a cause for war with Eng land which we can make use of at any time. We hold the wage of battle, which we can throw down whenever it suits us best to do so. Besides this clear case which is made out against England on authority furnished by her self, we have also other causes of complaint which can bo urged against her when we deem proper ; or we can reci procate by giving her like for like, tit for tat. As she re cognised the slave States as belligerents during the rebel-- lion, so can we turn the tables against her by recognising the Fenians as belligerents ; and as she winked at the equipment and departure from British waters of the Ala bama as a rebel cruiser, so can wo wink at the departure from the waters of the St. Lawrence of a Shenandoah as a Fenian cruiser. England has made the issue, and the United States will meet it triumphantly at the proper time.—New York Herald. BREAKFAST BLVERAGE.—II the medical profession generall omceopathic praaltioners , an d 3 7 , recommend cocoa as belly:: the most healthful of all beverages.
