A sensa tion nearly similar to that which prevailed in this country with respect to the search for Sir John Franklin, he said, now exists in all parts of Australia to ascertain what has become of the explorer, of whom nothing has been heard since he started with the intention of penetrating the interior in a fresh Erection. Large sums had been contributed to fit out the expedition for the purpose, which had already left Melbourne. The council of the Geographical Society have contributed 'X2IO towards that object, and a public subscription has also been commenced in this country. The first paper, contributed by Mr. J. Jardine, described the district round Cape York . , the. most northern point of Australia, where a settlement has been made to form a harbour of refuge for ships navigating Torres Straits. The country was repre sented to be rocky, sandy, and barren, and the natives the most degraded of any Australian tribes. Except for the purpose for which the settlement was made there is no inducement to colonise the. district, which lies within the tropics in about 10 degs. of south latitude. .....--• igton E. dis- LONDON must have a SUPPER and MUSIC ROOll for Gentlemen.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing tho provision male by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raisod, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf. SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the Rev. D. GanzuT, D.D., No. 22, Finsbury-circus, E.C.

NOTES OF IOPEZ AND 3.IITIZE. ption ors in " Rochdale, Dec. 9, 1865. "Dear Sir,—l do not recollect any paper directly bear ing on the question of wages. Tho fallacy was made great use of in our movement for the repeal of the corn laws—honestly by some men, and dishonestly by others. The real arguinent against it is this :—Free trade always weans great trade, and great trade always means a great demand 'or labour, awl this always means and necessitates a high rate of wages. At this moment wages are higher than at any former period in this country--at any former period, at least, withi n our recol:ection. It is so through all our manufacturing districts, although the length of the day's labour is much shorter. It is so also with our farm labourers. In many counties their wages have risen from 23 to 50 per cont. since 18-16, when our agricul tural industry was subjected to the competition of all the world. The labourers in America are taxed enormously in the purchase of many articles, particularly in their clothing. Americans and Englishmen going from England to America now supply themselves with clothing to last them for years,: they buy it for about half the price it would cost in the States, and thus withdraw their trade from the American manufacturers and escape the payment of the extravagant duties in the American ports. Protec tion to the manufacturers of iron and cloth in America may, and doubtless will, enrich some of them ; but it is by a contribution from the whole people to those engaged in those particular branches of industry. This system will encourage the investment of capi tal in the protected trade, and it will tend to deaden industry and invention in those States ; and whatever is gained on the one hand is far more than lost on the other. When the tariff question is fairly before the American people the truth will be discovered. They may consent to a moderate tariff for revenue on all great articles of import by which incidentally some protection may be unavoidably afforded to some branches of manu facture ; but they will not long consent to sustain branches of industry too feeble to sustain themselves out of the taxes not levied for the service of the Government., but extorted from them by the protective fallacy for the exclusive bene fit of manufacturers forming a small portion of their whole population. It should be remembered also that the extra profit, if any, given to the iroumasters and manufacturers, dons not go to their workmen. It may increase the divi dends of the companies or corporations, but it does not sensibly raise the wages of their workmen ; for the wages of their workmen aro determined by the general rule of labour throughout all the States, and are not affected in any important or measurable degree by the profits made by the various manufacturing corporations. If there be profit in protection or monopoly—and there often is—the workman's share is none at all, or so little as to be imper ceptible. A corporation working a very profitable patent pays no more wages to workmen than a neighbouring cor poration carrying on a trade not protected by a patent, and while monopoly may enrich those who possess and enjoy it, it cannot affect advantageously the interests and wages of the workmen. The workmen's safety and success depend upon the state of trade and the greatness of the demand for labour ; and, far above any possible interest they can have—l speak of the whole body of workmen in the United States, or any other country—in any special protection to any trade, or in the fostering and pampering of any par ticular manufacture, it is the great interest they have in that perfect freedom of trade which creates the greatest demand for labour, and gives the highest value to their skill and industry. It is interesting to see the old fallacy, once so potent in this country, now dead and buried in the hope and belief for ever, reappearing with a new life in the United States, a land where the superstitious of Europe have not generally found a congenial home. Happily for the Americans, this question of free trade is not mixed up, as ours was, with a great political question, and with the supposed supremacy of a' powerful territorial and aristocratic class. They will find out the truth sooner than our people did, and they will be able to discuss it free from many circumstances which were formidable difficulties in our way. All the countries in Europe are tending to free dom of trade, and all good and wise men rejoice at it. It would be strange indeed if America, foremost of all tho world in the knowledge and possession and practice of political freedom, should bo the last in discovering the priceless value of freedom of industry, which may be fairly termed the 'Charter of Freedom' to the millions of workmen iu every country where industry is free.—l am, &c., Rio DE JANEIRO, Dec. 24. The following is the text of the notes exchanged between Lopez and Mitre upon the subject of re prisals and the treatment of prisoners :-- " Head-quarters, llumayta, Nov. 20, 1865. " To his Excellency the President of the Argentine Republic, Brigadier-General Don Bartolome Mitre, Generalissimo of the Allied Armies. Lucia, committed still greater atrocities, plundering thousands of cattle farms, burning the houses, leav ing thousands of families without roof or shelter on the devastated plains,and even carrying its barbarity (or rather your Excellency's, for it was by your order) so far as to tear from their homes, and con vey prisoners to Paraguay, the innocent wives and tender children of several of our valiant officers ; these poor women and children had remained in the places occupied by your Excellency's troops, trust ing you would observe with them the same usages as your L•'xcellency now invokes in favour of the Paraguayan prisoners, but which you flagrantly violated in their case. icauS Y was 2 nting )f his eceut ed in .vards Mrs. plat- Price One Shilling. sewed in wrapper.

" I have the honour to address your Excellency the present note, as commander-in-chief of the allied armies at war with this Republic. " In the imperious necessity which at times forces nations and Governments to settle their difficulties by the sword, a war has broken out between this Republic and the States whose armies you com mand. In such cases it is customary for civilised nations to mitigate the evils of war by stripping it of all acts of cruelty which disgrace humanity and cast an indelible stain upon the commanders ordering or tolerating the same, and this I expected from your Excellency and your allies. Filled with this spirit, it was my first care to order the fullest respect for all prisoners who have accordingly en joyed every convenience and even liberty compatible with their position. My Government has given the fullest protection not only to Argentine, Brazilian, and Montevidean citizens in our power, but even to the prisoners of war. The strict discipline of Para guayan armies in Argentine and Brazilian territories is proof of this, and even the families and properties of those in arms against us have been respected. " Your Excellency, meantime, initiated the war with atrocities, such as the arrest of the Paraguayan agent in Buenos Ayres, 1). Felix Egnsquiza ; the pursuit of our Consul-General Jose Rufo Caminos and his son Felix, who had to take refuge under the British flag ; the confiscation of public and private Paraguayan properties in bank and elsewhere ; the arrest of Cipriano Ayala, who was bearer of de spatches ; the tearing down the Paraguayan flag and dragging it through the streets ; shooting me in effigy at Rosario ; the assassinations by General Caseres of Lieut. Ayala at Saladas, and Ensign Ferreyra at Bela Vista: (both wounded) ; the but chery of the wounded at Yatay, and the sending a Paraguayan deserter, named Juan Gonzales, to assassinate me. All these barbarous acts, however, have been unable to alter my resolution, or make me imitate your Excellency ; nor did I expect that such new atrocities would be added to the infamous catalogues of crimes with which the civil wars of the River Plate have presented a disgraceful picture to the universe.

Second Edition, extra cloth. price is. 6d., The second paper related to the north-west coast of Australia, and was contributed by Mr. James Martin. He gave an account of a coasting expedi tion undertaken by him in 1863 to the Glenelg dis trict, and of his discovery of the mouth of Glenelg river. A fine expanse of water, called Doubtful Bay, affords a-good anchorage for ships, but, the coast generally is very rocky and forbidding. The shores are covered with mangroves, which in many places obstructed the attempts made to ascend the rivers that flow into the bay. One tract of country that was discovered, to the extent of about a million acres, seemed capable of cultivation and of depasturing sheep, and Mr. Jardine reported favourably of its capabilities as a place for settlement. The temperature never exceeded 98 deg. in the shade, but the thermometer rose as high as 130 deg. in the sun, and the mosquitoes were abundant. There are two rainy seasons in. the year, during which much rain falls, and the heat did not seem oppressive. In the night time, indeed, during the cooler season, the covering of a blanket was required. In the discussion of the papers, Mr. Crauford re peated the opinions he has before frequently ex -\ pressed, that sheep cannot thrive in the tropical parts of Australia, and that one-third of that continent is altogether unsuited to occupation by Europeans. Sir C. Nicholson stoutly combated that opinion, and said it was as contrary to fact to assert that wool could noc be profitably grown in the tropical part of Australia as that potatoes could not be profitably grown in Ireland. In the course of the discussion, the failure of the attempt to form a colony at Cam den Bay and at Adam's Bay was alluded to, the former project being strongly condemned by Sir C. Nicholson as well as by Mr. Crauford. Lord Strangford read a note received from Admiral Stokes, in which he expressed the opinion that sheep would not thrive in the Glenelg district ; and his lordship attempted to reconcile the conflicting opinions of Mr. Cranford and Sir C. Nicholson by observing that, though unquestionably large quan tities of fine wool were grown in tropical Australia, yet it was found necessary to frequently introduce rams from more temperate climates to keep up the breed of sheep, and that the fleeces were light.

A SECOND MUNCHAUSEN ?—M. du Chaillu should add a photographic lens (suggests a weekly con temporary) and some prepared paper to his travelling apparatus. People did not believe him readily about the gorillas, and now they will be very sceptical about the Obongo. He says he met in the equatorial re gion of West Africa a race of little people called Obongos, aed usually about a foot shorter than average English men. He only measured one man, the rest running away, and he was small, but ho measured a number of women, the tallest of whom was 5 ft., while others ranged from 4ft. 4-1 in. to 4 ft. 8 in. Anything is possible in equatorial Africa of course, but still, as these people seem smaller than the Lapps, and M. du Chaillu may one day meet a tribe with tails, the lens would be very useful. 3fr. Maline, Q.C., and Mr. J. N. Higgins appeared for the plaintiff iu this suit, and asked foran order to expunge, from the answer of the defendant a certain passage, that they alleged was scandalous and not pertinent to the issue be tween the parties. The suit was instituted by the plaintiff, in whom the right to a sum of £5,000, secured by a mort gage executed by Lord Brougham iu 1851, was now vested for a decree for foreclosure of the equity of redemption, or a sale of the mortgaged estate and payment of the principal and interest. The principal money had been paid into court, and the only question remaining to be settled in the suit was the amount of interest to be paid on the debt. Lord Brougham had, in pursuance of an award of the Lord Chan cellor, offered to pay interest on the debt from June 24, 1864 ; but the plaintiff claimed six years' arrears. The defendant had set up the statute of limitations to that claim, and had by his answer stated among other things, to the effect that "he was ultimately compelled to turn the plaintiff out of his house in Grafton-street, under cir cumstances which fully appeared in"—the House of Lords' Report on the resignation by Mr. Edmunds of his offices of clerks of the patents, clerk to the commis sioners of patents, and reading clerk and clerk of out-door committees in the House of Lords. Ho also made that blue book a part of his answer in this suit. In consequence of that, it was insisted that as the report contained much that was considered prejudicial —as casting cruel imputations on the :moral conduct of Mr. Edmunds—it amounted to scandalous statements in the defendant's answer ; and ought to be expunged therefrom. It was also urged that it would, if not struck out, throw upon the plaintiff the necessity of amending his bill in the suit, to meet a case wholly immaterial in the question between the parties. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. E. K. Karslake appeared for Lord Brougham, and Mr. Ilawlinson for other parties. The Vice-Chancellor asked Mr. Malius whether he would now consent to take a decree for an account, and let the prosecution of the suit go in chambers. Mr. Malins declined so to do till the obnoxious para graph was expunged from the answer. The Vico-Chancellor, after hearing some further argu ments from Mr. Malins, ultimately directed the application to stand over till the first cause day of the sittings after this term, intimating that ho thought the wise course for both parties to adopt would be to make concessions on each side, and so preclude further litigation in the matter. A DOG FIGHT PREVENTED.-For some time past a number of so-called " sporting men" have been looking forward with interest to a dog fight for.£2s a side. The animals are of tho bull breed, and belong respectively to men in Newcastle and Windy Nook. They had been under training for a considerable time. It was arranged that the match should take place on the Black Fell, near Eighton Banks, a few miles from Gateshead, on Saturday, and shortly after daybreak a large number of persons, mostly ritmen, arrived on the scene, where also were the poor dogs and their brutal owners : In the parlance of the bystanders the animals looked remarkably well, and a brave and ferocious encounter being expected, money freely changed hands. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, the dogs were unslipped and set upon each oth e e er;ci and e mnt a few ofthe rounds :nob took Pace. Just, however, as h was increasing, and as the dogs the e were becoming more and more iufuriated, a strong body of county constabulary suddenly put in an appearance. The alarm was given and the concourse dispersed, each run ningos ea in his own direction and at the greatest possible speed. The policemen succeeded in obtaining possession of one of the unfortunate dogs, as well as taking into cus tedy the owners of both of them. THE PREMIER'S SUBLIME SUPERCILIOUSNESS.— Lord Russell, says the Spectator, received a depu tation from the Reform League and the working mon of the metropolis on the subject of the Reform Bill on Tues day. Several working men spoke at length. He dis missed them with characteristic curtness--" I shall not be able, having an important engagement, to listen to you any longer." After a haughty compliment to the working men's speeches, " I have always been of opinion that great injustice has been done to the working men by attempting not only to depreciate their talents but their habits of life," of course he added, "It is impossible for me to agree with the sentiments that have been expressed." It would be his duty, ho said, to introduce a measure that would "im prove the representation, and that would be likely to obtain the assent of Parliament,"—which has a sound rather ominous of a ricketty and sickly constitution for the mea sure itself. But this at least is stronger and important : " We will stand by the'measure, which we think is calcu lated for that purpose, and which we expect to carry, and wo shall not remain except we can." That is manly, but why does Lord John always feel so keenly that he is a superior order of being to the people for whom he fights? They are "at least vertebrated animals," and he spoke to the working men the other day as the late Mr. Justice Mauls .once accused the late Sir Crosswell Cresswell of speaking to the Bench—" like God Almighty to a black beetle." I hoped that in this first international war your Excellency would impress on your subordinate that `a prisoner of war is a man and a Christian, and when surrendered no longer an enemy, and that the prisoners at least would be respected in their mis fortune, and treated as generously as we treat those of the allies. But itis with profound regret that I have to abandon such hopes, in view of the atrocities com mitted with the unfortunate Paraguayans who have fallen into your power. Your Excellency has obliged the prisoners of Yatay and Uruguayana to take up arms against their country to swell your ranks, putting aside all hope of an exchange of prisoners, and at once cruelly immolating those who dared to refuse. Such as escaped so sad a fate have been either sent as slaves into Brazil or (some of white: skin) sent as presents and rare curiosities to people in Montevideo and Buenos Ayres. " This contempt not only for the usages of war, but for common humanity, this barbarous alternative between death and slavery, stand without example in history ; and it is to your Excellency, to the Em peror of Brazil, and to the Ruler of Montevideo must be ascribed the perpetrating such enormity. The Paraguayan Government by no act, either before or since thg war, has provoked such barbarity. The Argentine, Brazilian, and Montevidean citizens have been permitted to retire with their effects from our territory or remain, as they preferred. "My Government expected the usrges of war, al though our treaty had expired, considering them of benefit to humanity and national honour, and never so far forgetful as to allow the tearing down of your flag or shooting your Excellency effigy (even though at war), much less murdering any stray I Argentinesor Brazilians in our encampment. Public opinion and history will severely judge such acts. The allied Powers have not waged war according to civilised usages, but with atrocities that will for ever brand them with infamy. " Such being the case, my position as General of the armies of this Republic obliges me to check such acts as far as possible. I therefore invite your Ex cellency, in the name of humanity and docorum, to abandon this barbarous method of war, to treat your Paraguayan captives as prisoners of war, and to prevent further atrocities. And I notify your Ex cellency that, in case you do not reply, or that the Paraguayan prisoners be kept in arms against their country, or that you hoist a Paraguayan flag inyour ranks, or commit any fresh enormity, I shall feel myself excused from any further consideration, and, however unwillingly, make all Argentines, Brazi lians, and Mon tevideans that may now or here after be in my hands, answer with their lives and properties for a vigorous reprisal. - " I will await your answer for 30 days; you can send it to Paso la Patria. " May God preserve your Excellency for many years. " FRANcisco S. LOPEZ." " Head-quarters, Bella Vista, Nov. 25, 1865. " The President of the Argentine Republic and General in chief of the allied armies, " To his Excellency Marshal Francisco S. Lopez, President of the Republic of Paraguay. " I have received the note which your Excel lency addresses me as General-in-chief of the allied armies from your head-quarters at Hurnayta, dated 20th inst., wherein after citing facts which you sup pose inconsistent with the laws of war, committed by the allied armies NI ith the prisoners of Yatay and Uruguayans :Your Excellency ,invites me to ob serve those laws, intimating your intention to use reprisals in a contrary event. " On duly considering said note, I must say in reply that the facts you allege, as grave charges of want of humanity and self-respect on the part of the allies towards the Paraguayan prisoners fallen into our hands, are in part wholly untrue, and the rest distorted, probably owing to prejudiced reports which have reached your Excellency, and I regret that a moment's reflection did not suffice to show you the falsehood of such statements. " The Argentine, Brazilian, and Montevidean Governments being forced to stand forth in defence of their honour, dignity, and territory, which your Excellency treacherously assailed in violation of all civilised usages, seizing our towns and villages in time of peace, without previous declaration of war, and in a piratical manner, we had to hasten to rescue the lives and properties of our fellow-citizens in Matto Grosso, Rio Grande, and Corrientes from barbarous death and spoliation, but always in con formity with the rules of international war. And this we have fulfilled, not only for honour and duty, but because the crimes and outrages per petrated by your Excellency's troops in Brazi lian and Argentine territory during your brief occupation had filled us with horror, and we could not fall into the same iniquity, neither could we show the civilised world any other conduct than becomes an army encharged with the noble mission of vindicating national honour, instead of sacking defenceless towns and properties, as your Excellency's troops have done, from first entering Argentine and Brazilian territory, on either side of Uruguay, till reaching Uruguayana and Paso los Libres, completely destroying all the towns and farms, and carrying off a great portion of the booty for your Excellency in Paraguay, and by your order, as appears from the note-fbook found in Col. " All these acts are notorious, and will stamp with undying ignominy those who have authorised or tolerated the same. Your Excellency will have to answer fur them, not only to the allies who make war against you, but to the whole world, which has uttered a unanimous cry of execration on your head. "At the conclusion of those combats, resulting in the triumph of our arms, the wounded and captured survivors were first looked after and cared for in our own hospitals, on a par with our own wounded Nay, they were often better treated, as objects of greater compassion, owing to their nakedness and misery ; and were regarded as the unhappy vic tims of an ill-advised ruler who hurled them to meet death in a war both unjust and unprovoked, the effect of au arbitrary caprice. So far from being forced to enter our ranks, or treated with rigor, they have met with kindness and benevolence, some of them being set at liberty, others drafted off to various towns, and the rest kept for army servants, hospital work, &c. It is true many of them have entered the ranks of the allied army, but this was with their own free will and request, a favour which could not be denied them, it having been already conceded to the Paraguayan refugees in our terri tory who volunteered for the campaign. " I have answered the principal charges in your Excellency's note, and not only controverted them, but shown upon whom must fall the immense re sponsibility of whatever barbarities may unhappily have occurred in the present war. I might also descend to the isolated cases mentioned by your Excellency ; but some are so notoriously false, and others so exaggerated, that it is idle to refute them, especially as we are now at open war, when arms must decide .the question. Your Excellency will understand that this is not a season for recrimina tion, and I should be led into such if I answered the other charges of your Excellency. " In conclusion, I must add that I cannot under stand how your Excellency came to believe the story of the Paraguayan deserter, Juan Gonzalez, if there ever really was such a man ; and I regret for the dignity of the post you occupy that you have seri ously affixed your signature to a letter stating your fear of a dagger treacherously directed against you by an Argentine General. I declare to your Excel lency that I do not believe you capable of making such an attempt against my life, or that of any of the allied generals, since I am accustomed to do this justice to the chiefs against whom I have ever fought, and I must do the same with your Excel lency. "In consequence of the above, and in order to prevent any excesses on the part of your Excellency, as foreshadowed in your note, I beg formally to notify your Excellency, for the protection of the lives and properties of the Argentines, Brazilians, and Montevideans in your hands (taken by chance or treachery, for in fair fight you have not taken a single prisoner), that any act on the part of your Excellency or subordinates, in violation of civilised usages, will be visited personally on your Excellency, besides the other satisfaction that may be deemed requisite. If, in spite of this., your„,Exet limey take any measures unusual in war, you will have deli berately placed yourself outside the bound of inter national law, and justify the allies acting towards you as your Excellency insinuates, it being plainly your intent to aggravate the horrors of war, which the allies are doing their best to lessen ; and in this resolution we intend to continue, not laying down our arms till obtaining the fullest reparation for our injuries, which we confide for vindication to the will of the Most High and the strength of our right arms, not to the cowardly and ignoble vengeance wreaked on unarmed men, defenceless women, and innocent children. " Such is the only reply I have to offer your Ex cellency, without prejudice to whatever resolution may be adopted by the Governments of the Triple Alliance, to whom I will to-day forward a copy of your Excellency's note, and of this my reply.

The short muster-roll of English female artists has lost a name of high distinction, and still higher promise, in Mrs. Charles Newton, who died prema turely at 33 of brain fever following' on measles, just after the dawn of the new year. Mrs. Newton came of a family of artists. Her father, Mr. Severn, our present consul at Rome, is known both by his pictures in oil and fresco and as the friend of Keats, whose deathbed he soothed by his devoted care. Her brothers are both artists, and Mr. IValter Severn's etchings and designs of the Golden Ca lendar, and Mr. Arthur Severn's water-colour drawings in the exhibition at the Dudley Gallery last year have received very favourable criticisms. Miss Severn early began the practice of art, and by her heads in pencil, crayon, and water-colour, and still more by her exquisite copies in water-colour from the old masters, had already won for herself both reputation and profit, when five years ago she married Mr. Charles Newton, the distinguished su perintendent of Greek and Roman antiquities at the British Museum. After her marriage Mrs. Newton became even a more devoted and conscientious la bourer in her art than before. Following her hus band's studies with the double interest of a devoted wife and an enthusiastic artist, she learnt to apply to the antique that rare faculty of rendering the thoughts of great minds which till then she had deciphered by means of the works of the great Italian masters. How thoroughly she had ac complished the latter may be illustrated by an anecdote, honourable alike to student and master. When Ary Scheffer saw a small copy she had made in the Louvre of the beautiful head, commonly called Raffaele's ‘kFencing-master," but more probably a work of the elder Francia's, he took it to his atelier, and, holding it up to his assembled pupil s il :vhat has an e example of what a copy should be, and of had never succeeded. in getting from their labours in the Louvre, asked them how they liked to be ex celled by a young English lady. Mrs. Newton executed on a large scale a great number of draw ings from the finest antique sculptures and vase paintings of the Museum 11.' illustrations of her hus band's lectures. These drawings have been pio nounced by very critical judges unsurpassed for truthfulness and for their rendering by equivalents of the untranslatable and inimit a bl e qualities of the finest antique art. There is the same rare quality in her drawings from the sculptures discovered by her husband at liudrun and Caidos, which are pho tographed in his history of these discoveries. In oil painting Mrs. Newton was labouring energetically up to the time of her lamented death. And though her style in this difficult branch of the art was not yet fixed, and her command of its materials and methods imperfect, the portrait of herself exhibited at the Royal Academy two years ago, and a large half-length subject of Elaine, hung the same year, but too high for fair appreciation, showed how much of power, beauty, and sentiment she had already qualified herself to express through this medium. 'This notice is necessarily confined to what the arts of England have lost in this gifted woman. What her husband and friends have lost in her is not, to be touched on in a record meant only for the public. • HER MAJESTY'S Sim , I.3cm.Doa.—The crew of the late vessel Bulldog were paid off yesterday at Devon port, on board the Port Admiral's ship Royal Adelaide. ALLEGED MURDER IN LI vERPOOL.—On Sunday week a man and woman, named Nixon and Quinn, who re sided in a court in Blackstock-street, Liverpool, quarrelled with a man named Michael Smith, residing in the same house. They threw Smith violently down stairs and kicked him so brutally that he died on Sunday morning from the injuries he had received. Nixon and Quinn will be brought up at the Liverpool Police-court to-day. IRON SHIPBUILDING IN SOUTH WALES.—The iron shnbuilling. trade has of late beoemo an important addition to the prosperity of South Wales. It was not till recently this comparatively new branch in the maritime art was in troduced into this district, and since then great progress has been made at the several ports where iron shipbuilding yards have been established. It has been proved beyond a doubt that the district is capable of producing iron plates suitable for first-class ships, and that in the course of a few years the principality will be a strong competitor with the North of England in the building of iron vessels. In addi tion to the ships already launched a fine iron bark has just left the stocks of Messrs. Batchelor Brothers' yard, Cardiff. The bark is the property of Messrs. Cory, of Cardiff, and is destined for the copper ore trade. Her length is 140 ft. ; breadth of beam, 24ft.; depth of hold, 17ft. A large iron vessel is about being built at the East-yard, Newport, by Mr. Spittle, and there are also iron ships on the stocks at Caredff and Llanelly. This indicates that the advantages of the district for iron shipbuilding are being gradually ap preciated by capitalists. NAPOLEON'S DIFFICULTY WITH AMERICA.--The ruler of France may be pleased with the reflection that he, a creature of the Revolution, has flung one of the richest territories of the world to a Prince of the House of Hapsburg-Lorraine ; but this is a satisfaction which is very vulgar in its essence, and must be very fleeting in its duration. And, putting this aside, there is really nothing to compensate him for the mistake he committed in going to Mexico. It has perpetuated the financial disorder of France ; it has displeased some of the stanchest and most sagacious of his supporters ; it has irritated afresh the enemies who were beginning to relent i❑ their opposition, and it has raised up a spirit of resentment in a country which has cherished an alliance with France over since the days when Washington and Lafayette fought side by side the battle of independence. The intervention in Mexico was a mistake, though wo are precluded from condemning it loudly. Our own Government was ill-advised enough to concur in the moderate attempt at first suggested, and We can only con gratulate ourselves that it had the discretion to retire a a soon as it could with decency. It ought to have been seen front the first that it would be impossible to restrict the movement to its proposed dimensions, and even were it possible the movement would still be impolitic. The practical question is, however—What shall the Emperor do? Luckily, it is not our function to determine his future policy. There are some situations in which it seems equally impossible to advance or retreat. Tho Emperor may, however, persuade himself that he must either advance or retreat ; it is impassible to do both, as so many 'people would willingly do, and it is equally im possible to stand still, if he retreats, he exposes himself to the imputation of failure, and must run the risk of the disfavour which the French are very apt to feel towards anything like a want of military success ; but he would be relieved from considerable expense, vould mitigate some domestic opposition, and would appease the American people. If he persist, he must be prepared for growing embarrrassments au(imust brave American resentment.— Times. LIEUT.-GENERAL GRANT.—The New York cor respondent of the London Standard writes of Gen. Grant : —" The Radicals have opened an attack upon Lieutenant- General Grant. The General's indorsement of .the Presi dent's statements has stirred up a groat'deal of wrath in Radical minds, and certain Congress men have already announced that they will endeavour to defeat Mr. Wash burne's bill for the establishment of the military grade of General. This bill has direct reference to Grant. Some of the Radical journals aro indulging in criticisms upon Grant's generalship ; one (the Chicago Tribune) has asserted that it will never be known how much or how little the country owes to Grant—whether he is or is not a mere accident. The slander set afoot by Butler, that Grant was and is too fond of the intoxicating cup, ' either for his own goal, or that of the country,' is repeated by many newspapers. In short, the Radicals are ready to pronounce their late hero a drunkard and a blunderer. Unfortunately for their designs such attacks on the Lieutenant-General will only recoil upon the instigators. Grant is an object, of popular homage, and whether lie is or is not, as Radicals assert, an ' accident,' it is sufficient for his own well being that he is considered by the majority a great captain. Mr. B. F. Butler will deliver a speech in Lowell, Massa chusetts, to-day or on 'Monday ; and it is suppo sed tha t the disgraced ruffian will attempt to reply to Grant's charges of cowardice and incompetency. It ma y n ot be generally known that General Grant is a very poor man, but such is the fact. lla friends in New York are quietly working to raise means to remove the mortgage upon his horse-in Washington. The General's pay would be suffi cient for his maintenance as a private citizen ; it is grossly inadequate to the support of the establishment he is com pelled to keep up as our highest military officer. H e h as lived plainly, but he found it necessary, more than a year ago, to mortgage his house. Some $50,000 or SGO,OOO have been obtained hero by subscriptions, and if a sufficient sum is accumulated, the general's house will be restored (and a substantial additional gift tendered) as a 'New Year's Present.'"
