Federal troops congregated on the St. John's ; and, massed into an army, moved into the interior. Hurled back at Olustee, they retreated, shattered and bleeding, to their ships, and added thus another instance of the general truth, that every large operation of the campaign of last year has resulted in failure. THE CAPE OF G 004) HOPE. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) BREST, Jan. 15. The French steamer Japon has arrived here from the Cape of Good Hope. She left Table Bay on the 3d December, and brings 13 days' later news than the last English mail steamer. The dispute between the Free State and the Basutos was still unsettled. No definite reply hav ing been received from Moshesh to Nov. 24, a second messenger has been despatched from Bloemfontein to Thaba Bosigo, his capital, for his answer. A rumour prevailed at Bloemfontein that at a great council of the Basuto nation it had been deter mined by a majority to respect Sir P. Wodehouse's arbitration, and to give up the disputed lands rather than incur a war. This pacific resolution was said to have been supported by Moshesh and his son Sebea, but opposed by Molappo and Moperi, chiefs whose folloWers are the aggressors in the Witte bergen, being the occupiers of the disputed lands. Although the month allowed for the withdrawal of those Basutos had nearly expired, they remained quietly squatting on the Wittebergen farms which they had reclaimed and cultivated, hoping yet to rea lise the profits of their labours, and the impression that war would result was general. The burghers of the Free State were assembling with an alacrity never before displayed by them. 400 had come in from Fauresmith and Philipp°lis, and were to be accompanied by the President to Winburg on November 25. Private advices received, however, yet stated that there probably would be no war. A meeting of the Constitution Defence Associa tion was to be held at the Commercial Exchange, Cape Town, on the day the Japon sailed, " to take into consideration the reply said to be received from the Home Government to a petition of the inhabi tants of the western districts against Act No. 1, 1864 (the Customs Duties Protection and Indemnity Act), and to resolve on what further measures should be adopted." The Diamond Company's steamer Kaffraria was to leave Table Bay on Dec. 23 with the regular monthly mail, and may be expected in England about Jan. 25. Ships and troops gathered like storm clouds around the harbour of Mobile. That city was, we were assured, about to be captured, and a co-operat ing force, moving for that base, we were told, would immediately afterward - go up the Alabama to repeat the apparently harmless process of " cutting the rebellion in two !" What are the facts to-day ? Mobile is still a " hotbed" of secession ! The Federal army and the Federal fleet have seen proper to give its torpedoes and its artillery 'and its rifles a " wide berth," and even that gallant old sailor, Farragut, while able to look upon its church spires in the dis tance, was unable to break the spell which appears to have decreed that each expedition of the war in 1864 should turn out a miscarriage. _ _ But what shall we say of Sherman's raid across Georgia ? Beginning at his confession of the prac tical failure of even the splendid successes which brought hina to Atlanta in the vain hope of strang ling the rebellion, the movement of that officer to the seaboard was, such as it is, a success. The measure of that success is simply the occupation of the previously sealed city of Savannah, and of about 20 miles of the lower part of the Ogechee-Savannah peninsula ; but, while this is literally the sum total of its results, that march is the only instance in which any one of the great movements of the cam paign of last year has not proved an utter failure. By an arrangement with the Postmaster-General in London, the Union Company have been freed from their obligation of sending any steamer home to reach England in January with the usual mails on account of their vessel, the Athens, being required for the new extension of the mail line to Mauritius. The Kaffraria, however, brings the mails under her own contract with the Colonial Government, and not on any special arrangement with the Union ' Company. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at Guildhall, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. Several brokers were sworn, and there was a number of names on the list of gentlemen apply ing to be allowed. Mr. Alderman IVATERLOW said there was a report to be brought up from the General Purposes Com mittee, and he suggested the report should be read before those gentlemen were allowed, so that they might have the benefit of the alterations proposed. The suggestion was agreed to, and the report was read, and was upon a reference relative to the sworn brokers of the city of London, and recom mended that certain fees taken in the Town Clerk's office upon the admission of brokers, amounting to nearly £6, should be abolished, and that the only charges to be,made on admission should be ss. upon the application, the rent of £5, and the charge for the Government stamps. The persons to be ad mitted as brokers be required to attend the Court of Aldermen only when sworn in ; so that instead of as at present having to attend the court to be allowed, when certain questions are put to them as to whether they have ever been otherwise than sol vent, the necessary inquiries will be made by the Solicitor and the Town Clerk, and the list of ap plicants, with the necessary certificates, will be sub mitted to the Court, arid, if approved, they will merely have to attend to be sworn. The report also recommended that the practice of not allowing brokers to become sureties or to sign certificates should be discontinued. Mr. Alderman WATERLOW, in moving the adop tion of the report, said it had 'been said that the committee, in taking Certain steps in reference to the brokers of . the city, had been prompted by mo netary considerations ; but he hoped the report would show that they had not made it a money question, but that their only desire was to continue their control for the benefit of the public, and to carry out the law impartially to all. The report was unanimously agreed to in committee, and he hoped the same unanimity would be shown in the Court. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY, with regard to the fees which were recommended to be abolished, asked whether those fees were paid into their chamber, or whether they went in part payment of the officer's emoluments. Mr. Alderman Wm:m.ow said that previous to the appointment of Mr. Woodthorpe, the present Town Clerk, those fees were the property of the Town Clerk, but since that time they had been paid into the chamber as City's cash, and it was thought expedient that the Town Clerk should receive a stated salary, so that they now formed part of the general revenue. The report 'was unanimously agreed to. Those of the gentlemen whose names were on the list to be allowed who were present were, upon the Town Clerk laying before the Court the usual cer tificates, duly allowed as brokers. Two gentlemen, however, did not answer to their names, and the Town Clerk informed the Lord Mayor that, pursu ant to the resolution just passed, it was not neces sary for them to be present, and the certificates having been laid before the Court they were also admitted. Censure of the Poor-law Board by the Directors of the Poor of St. Pancras. At a meeting of the directors of the poor of St. Pancras, held yesterday, Mr. Churchwarden Law ford in the chair, a communication was received from the Poor-law Board, acknowledging a previous communication from the directors in reference to the surcharge by the Poor-law auditor of the half crowns given to each of the children apprenticed from the workhouse, in which it was stated—" There is nothing in the general law or the rules of the Poor law Commissioners to prohibit reasonable relief in money as well as in clothes to young persons under the age of 16 years on leaving the workhouse, whether to be apprenticed or otherwise ;" and urging the board to reconsider their former decision, that the sums so paid were paid without lawful autho rity. The Poor-law Board now stated—" As re gards the board's decision upon the previous appeal, it proceeded on the ground that the sums of money paid over to the apprentices were given by way of gratuities and donations on their leaving the work house. The board considered that such gratuities and donations were not legitimate relief. If, how ever, in the present cases the sums granted were not gratuities or donations, but that the apprentices re quired the money to relieve them from actual desti tution, the board will be prepared to consider your appeal upon that view of the facts. If the facts be altogether similar to those upon which the board gave their previous decision, the board must suggest for your consideration whether you had not better _ make your appeal to the Court of Queen's Bench, under the 7th . and Bth Vict., cap. 101, sec. 35, so that the decision of that court may be obtained as to what is the proper interpretation of the law ap plicable to the payments out of the poor rates of the nature now in question." Mr. TURNER moved—" That the members of this board having heard the letter addressed by the Poor law Board to the churchwardens, beg to inform the Poor-law Board that they consider the surcharges tyrannical and vexatious, and will subscribe t parish am ount themselves instead of involvi n g the in a law suit." Mr. Churchwarden ROBSTON Said they had been going on very well with the Poor -law Board, and they had better not insu lt them by such a resolution, but pay the money. g lit the: motion would do no Mr. SHEFFIELD thoil good, and they had better pocket the insult y' .., the Poor-law Boar d. Mr. J. SA LTER considered the conduct of the Po BoardTURNER to then substituted tyrannical,siteand he quite con curred with th e motion. ls o i tla r •- . a w , I 3 , s word " frivo lous" for " tyrannical," . and the resolution was ag reed to. A further communication was then read from the Poor-law Board, aski ng the directors' for their rea sons against the surcharge for the amount of the luncheons on Fridays.

The pleadings in the actionMont morencyfancily brought by the Mont --Y against Count Adalbert de Talley iand-Perigord for usurping the name and arms of Mont morency were on Saturday resumed before the Civil Tribunal by 1 1. Berryer, counsel for the plaintiffs. The learned gentleman stated that his clients had no intention to attack the exercise of the Sovereign's power, but to defend their right to the name and arms of their ancestors against an unjust usurpation. The right of a family to its name was sacred, inalienable, inviolable, and no one had a right to confer it on a stranger without their consent. He reviewed at great length all the legal precedentg bearing on the case, and concluded by expressing his cOnvic tion that the Tribunal would do justice to his clients, and never sanction the usurpation attempted by a young man who, not content with bearing the name of Talleyrand Perigord, which was his own, had rashly thought that it would not be too much for him to bear 'the name of Mont morency. After hearing M. Berryer, the tribunal againad journed the cause for a week, when the Advocate-Imperial Aubepin will give his opinion.

The Disastrous Fire at Edinburgh. The fire brigade continued their operations on the burn ing theatre from the outbreak of the conflagration on Fri day evening till Sunday morning. All Saturday, Sunday, and Monday crowds continued to visit the scene of the disaster, but the streets on both of the open sides of the theatre had to be barricaded owing to the dangerous state of the walls.. On Monday a body of men were engaged in battering down the soutk wall, but, although a considerable breach was made, the cornice was still unbroken. The most part of the north and west walls had fallen during the progress of the fire, but the south and east walls and also an interior division wall were left almost intact. On Satur- day morning the standing walls were found to be deflected outwards about 18 inches, but as they cooled down they recovered, and by and by showed an inward inclination to the extent of about six inches. The spectacle presented by the roofless and gutted theatre after the fire was most melancholy. In the area of the theatre, nearly 20 feet below the street level, was a deep pool of water, on which pieces of wood were floating, while at the edges were seen all sorts of ragged and broken remains of building material, pipes, and metals. The division wall, though still stand ing, was jagged, shattered, and stripped. The outlines of the different tires of boxes, galleries, and pit were only to be traced by the structural marks left upon the walls. Strange to say the lamps in the south-east corner fronting Leith-walk depending from the first balcony were quite uninjured, and large placards of the pantomime on either side of the centre window over the box entrance were quite untouched. The injury done to the Roman Catholic chapel and adjoining building were very extensive. The fall of the north wall had smashed in the roof of the cloister for fully 30ft„ and had made tifi:ed` great holes in the roof of the chapel itself, destroying the pews and altar rail inside, and breaking in the windows and part of the roof of the clerical residence. The whole of the property on that side had sustained a serious shock. On Sunday the gable of the house in Little King-street, adjoining the west wall of the theatre, showed symptoms of giving way, and the inmates of the densely populated tenement had to remove. The escape of several of those who were in the cloister when the north wall fell was almost miraculous. Mr. Mitchell, the fire-master, who had bean urging Mr. Lorimer and those working with him to desist from the effort to extricate the man Leeke, who was still alive after the falling of the chimney had fixed him to the spot, had observed the wall to oscillate. He ran up to Mr. Lorimer and caught him by the arm to draw him away. Be ran back himself, and got within the arched vestibule of the cloister, and looking behind saw the tremendous mass fall upon the unfortunate gentleman, who, he thought, seemed to be unconscious that it was coming. down. Mr. Lorimer's body was disinterred from the pile about 10 hours afterwards, and his watch was still going. It appears that Mr. Mitchell had withdrawn the firemen from the cloister about half-past 5 on account of the threatening state of the north wall. The fall of the chimney upon Sweeny and Leeke took place shortly after wards, while they were assisting to remove a carpet, and but for the humane efforts made to rescue them, the cloister would probably have been cleared. A watch had been put on the cloister-door to keep it open for retreat and to pre vent more getting in, but the door from the sacristy was still open, and Clark, one of the deceased, had only entered the cloister half a minute before he was killed. About a dozen persons were in the cloister as the wall fell, two thirds of whom escaped, partly by the sacristy door, and partly by the vestibule. The funeral of Mr. Lorimer is to take place to-day, and is to be attended by the magistrates and council, the guildry, and other public bodies. A meeting was held on Monday afternoon in Queen street-hall, to adopt measures for the relief of the sufferers. Bailie CASSELS, acting chief magistrate in the absence of he Lord Provost, presided, and stated the object of the meeting. He read a number of letters which had been re ceived on the subject—namely, from Mr. George Lorimer, son of the deceased Dean of Guild, tendering a subscription of five guineas to the fund; from Lieut.-Colonel Macleod, commanding the 74th Highlanders, re-enclosing a check for £l5 155., which had been sent by the magistrates to the non-commissioned officers and men who had assisted at the fire, and expressing their unanimous wish that as they had only been present in discharge of their duty the sum should be applied to the relief of the sufferers ; from Mr. Paterson, manager of the Royal Princess's, offering a night's service of the company in relief of the fund, without deduction of expense ; and from the Mid-Lothian. Rifles, offering to give one of their Volunteer entertainments. A dramatic read ing, by Miss Murray, and a night's performance by Miss Emma Stanley are also to be given to the fund. The LORD ADVOCATE, in, moving that a fund be collected for relief of the sufferers, stated that it was not a large sub scription that was asked from individuals, as it was believed that it would be a very general one on the part of the com munity. In concluding his speech, his Lordship made pathetic reference to the death of Mr. Lorimer; who had been a class fellow with him at the Edinburgh High School. lie said that no event had ever struck him more deeply than his death. They might deplore that impulse which led n on to save the life of ti fellow creature, to turn a deaf ear to the remonstances of his friends, and to exert himself regardless alike of the warning cries of the crowd beneath, and of the nodding terror that thrqatened him from above ; but it was a noble impulse, and no soldier on the field of battle, no captain going down the last man in his ship, ever found a more honourable or a more heroic grave than did George Lorimer on that occasion. (Loud applause.) Mr. DUNCAN 3IPLAREN seconded the motion, and the other practical resolutions were moved by Mr. Black, M.P., Dr. Alexander Wood, the Rev. Dr. Hanna, &c. HEALTH OP LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) il:tat,hhn l erreTd n oli.huov, the ten principal cities or towns of the United King dom 3,838 births and 3,287 deaths were registered in the week that ended on Saturday last.

For death does not fall upon communities like the wind, over which they can exercise no control, but its epidemic storms are to a large extent of human creation. The causes of the deaths in childhood and in manhood are known, and are often generated in great cities by flagrant violations of the laws of nature; to such an extent that, taking the year round, to every three deaths one death is the result of causes which do not prevail in the healthy districts of the country. In the healthy districts of England the mortality is at the annual rate of 17 in 1,000 ; in our seven cities or boroughs it is at the average annual rate of 25 in 1,000. During the last week the rate was 30. This excess is partly the result of the cold weather, and varies from 26 per 1,000 in Bristol to 41 in Liverpool. The causes of death'require careful investigation in each town, and the local authorities will probably be induced to follow the example of Liverpool and London by appointing health officers, after carefully considering the figures which the registers bring every week under their notice. In the week that ended on Saturday, 1,669 deaths were registered in London. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1855-64, the average number of deaths is, with a cor rection for increase of population, 1,653. The deaths in the present return, therefore, slightly exceed the estimated number. Zymotic diseases in the aggregate destroyed 359 lives. Sixteen deaths were caused by small-pox, 48 by measles, 55 by scarlatina, 77 by typhus, and 73 by whooping-cough. From diseases of the respiratory organs (exclusive of phthisis) 428 persons died ; of this number bronchitis carried off 267 persons, pneumonia 99, and asthma 25. 161 deaths occurred from phthisis, 70 from diseases of the heart, and 180 from diseases of the brain and nervous system. 738 persons died under 20 years of age, 222 were 20 and under 40, 290 were 40 and under 60, 358 were 60 and under 80, and 61 were 80 years and upwards. The deaths of nine nonagenarians were recorded, the oldest of whom was a widow, who attained the age of 94 years. 65 persons lost their lives by accidents, 33 died from frac tures- or contusions (of this number six were killed by vehicles in the street), 11 infants and one adult were suffo cated, and 13 deaths ensued from burns or scalds. A woman, aged 30 years, died at New-street, Cloth-fair, from taking cyanide of potassium by mistake for medicine. A type founder, aged 66 years, died on the Ist of January at 67, Essex-street, Shoreditch, from inflamation of the lungs, accelerated by want of food and necessaries of life. Last week the births of 1,035 boys and 967 girls, in all J.,11.4 4/ VT 2,002 47 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1855-64 the average number (corrected) was 2,013. At the Royal Observatory,Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.290 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 30.08 in. at the beginning of the week to 21.39 in. by noon.on Saturday, a point lower than any since February, 1848, when it . was 28.30 in. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 42.8 deg., which is 6.8 deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day tempe rature was 50.2 deg. on Tuesday. The lowest night tempe rature was 32.0 deg., on Friday. The entire range of temperature during the week was therefore 18.2 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 39.7 deg. ; that of the lowest was 38.8 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 3•7 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 87, complete saturation being repre sented by 100. A heavy gale of wind occurred on Satur day, in which a pressure of 291 b. on the square foot took place, and very heavy pressures werefrequent between the hours of 4 a.m. and 5 p.m. The direction of the wind at this time was S.W. and W. A Live Porpoise at Last TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—Your readers will, doubtless, be as much pleased as I am (on my return from various salmon egg collecting expeditions) to find that at last Mr. Bartlett has succeeded in placing in the Zoological Gardens a porpoise, which is now in perfect health and vigour. It arrived on the 29th of December from Deal, where it had been caught in a sprat net, but it was determined not to say anything about its arrival in town until it had recovered from its jour ney. For several days it was very unwell, and would not eat, rolling lazily along the side of the pond ; but on the 11th day it began to eat some sprats which, tied to thin and easily broken string, were gently made to wabble about in front of its nose by means of a jack spinning rod. It now, however, eats 31b. of sprats and 51b. of eels every day. This morning it had two fresh herrings and a whiting for breakfast. It will feed in the presence of visitors and, as it will be observed, seizes the fish by the middle and then jerks it down head foremost. The live eels, however, show the porpoise excellent sport, but I should be sorry to be an eel in front of his nose when he is hungry. His or her name (for we do not , know the sex) is ". Ceta," and the beast apparently recognises the whistle (the signal for dinner) of the keeper ; and we are going to erect a proper dinner bell. It is highly interesting to see the quiet and velvet-like motion with which our new friend dives about in his pond, occasionally showing his snow-white sides as he turns to catch a fugitive and much frightened eel. It seems now pretty cer tain that the porpoise will do well in the gardens, and it is only after making many attempts and meeting with many failures that our knowledge of the mode of conveyance and treatment of these creatures has at last enabled us to place before the world the first living cetacean ever seen in captivity in London. We shall be glad to increase our stock ~of living porpoises, and shall therefore be obliged if any reader of this would kindly communicate the whereabouts of any fresh prisoner from the sea, and if within a reasonable distance from the gardens— say, 150 miles—every attempt will be made to re lieve the solitude of poor " Ceta," 'whose nearest neighbour at present is the offended sturgeon, who about a year ago complained of the insults he re ceived from porpoises in general in the columns of Punch. FRANK BUCKLAND. THE WAR IN 1864. (From the New York Daily News) General Banks moved since the commencement of last year- to l , ‘ Rio Grande. He occupied Browns ville ; and we were told that the rebellion had been strangled in Texas. What are the facts now? He has withdrawn nearly all his troops from the State; and now the whole line of the Rio Grande is again open for the transportation to neutral ports of Con federate cotton. In this one of its great move ments the war, during the past year, has proved a failure. _ _ A Federal expedition moved up Red River. A fleet of gunboats led the van. A flotilla of trans ports followed with regiments, brigades, divisions ; and co-operating armies moved overland under a system of crushing concentration. Louisiana was, we were assured, about to be " cleaned out," Texas to be overrun, Arkansas brought into subjugation ! And what came of all these high promises ? The invasion, army and navy, was hurled back in dis aster; some of the vessels captured or destroyed, large masses of the troops killed, wounded, or taken orisoners, and the whole followed up in hot pursuit Until the remnants succeeded in reaching the Mis sissippi. In this great movement of the past year the war has proved a failure. Sherman, at the beginning of the past year, gathered an army 'at Vicksburg. Having moved to the eastward, he reached Jackson. He pressed the Confederates back until he reached the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to Meridian. A co-operating expedition of cavalry, designed to feed his army from the rich prairies of Eastern Mississippi and Central Alabama, having been driven back, the Federal chief retraced his steps. Harassed on the way by Stephen Lee's horse, he returned to Vicks burg, and, after a march of upwards of 250 miles, presented the country with another instance in which the war has proved in 1864 a failure. Sherman commenced his advance into Northern Georgia during the year just closed. Fighting and maneuvering he pressed on from Ringgold to Dal ton, from Dalton to Kingston, from Kingston to Marietta ; and finally, at a sacrifice of probably 50,000 men, planted the Federal flag within the de fences of Atlanta. Whether or not he may have earnt from the movements of the Confederates that his operations from Atlanta had become impracti cable need not be considered here ; but the actual fact is beyond question that, having reached that city, he has declared its possession, and the posses sion of all the places for which he had fought on the way to it of no avail. Even brilliant success does, thus, not redeem the operations of General Sherman in Northern Georgia from the conclusion which de clares all the great movements of the war in 1864 practically failures. Hunter moved last spring against Lynchburg. His advance was designed as a co-operative movement for the reduction of Richmond, and was heralded as one of the finishing touches of the work of subjuga tion. And what were the features of that expedi- tion ? Early hurled upon its rear, it could not retrace its steps; but, seeking safety in flight, retreated, hungry, exhausted, and demoralised, to the Kana wha ? Here, again, one of the great movements of the campaign of 1864 proved, in keeping with all the others, a miserable failure. Sheridan succeeded Hunter in the design on Lynchburg. Successful in driving back the Confe derate advance, he moved up the Valley of the Shenandoah. Early threatening his flank from the Blue Ridge, the Federal chief did not dare to pro ceed beyond Staunton. The Southern General having after a time assumed the offensive Sheridan fell back, and, notwithstanding that he saved his army at Cedar Creek, has not again advanced be yond Winchester. As a movement upon Lynchburg the successes of Sheridan's campaign in the valley have not saved it from the fate which has declared it in common with all the other great movements of the campaign of 1864 to have proved a failure. Grant commenced during the past year his ope rations against Richmond. High hopes and confi dent assurances declared his advance to have sealed._ the fate of the "rebellion." Paper victories brought him, after a bloody slaughter, to a point which he might have reached by water without the loss of a man. The chicanery and falsehood touching his operations, from that day to this, meet now their correct interpretation, in the fact that General Grant still tugs and strives against Richmond in vain. Be the " key" of that city in whose pocket it may, there can be no doubt that at the close of the year 1864 the Federal onslaught on the " rebel" capital remains, like every movement of the cam paign, a failure. The Butler-Porter expedition against Fort Fisher ! In charity we would pass over that miracle of loud mouthed promise ; but we must include it in the judgment which pronounces every great undertak‘ ing of the campaign of last year a failure. The attack on Charleston was one of the . grounds of the false hopes of the Ist January, 1864. Fort Sumter has been battered down, but still its ruins remain unconquered. A bombardment in conflict with all the restraints of humanity and law rained destruction on Charleston ; but still that city re mains covered by unapproachable defences. This year has witnessed all the false hopes of which Char leston was made the subject 12 months ago settle down into the conclusion that the attack on that is a failure. Florida was to have been subjugated in 1864 ! A State was to have been restored by the logic of artil- dANU NIEL ' EN
