There is nothing to surprise us in this intelligence, and indeed it seems only strange that such an event did not occur at an earlier period. No one can say that there has been any hesitation displayed on the part of the Emperor MUDIILIAN, for he has from first to last exhibited an energy and a devotion worthy of a better cause and a more satisfactory issue. There has been no doubt remaining in the minds of the well-informed for some time past as to the end of this Mexican venture, and it is a question whether any good has been gained by thus prolonging the struggle. Certainly so far as the Empress CHARLOTTE is concerned, it is much to be regretted that this course was persisted in, but there were perhaps reasons in the back ' ground which we do not exactly comprehend or divine. No one can fail to sympathise with MAXIMILIAN in this his day of misfortune and de feat, and the more so that he has all along believed that he could succeed if he was properly upheld, but with the want of assistance he was compelled to give up. However, while we admire the foresight and respect the constancy of the Emperor of MEXICO, common sense compels us to admit that the Emperor of the FRENCH has taken a course which cannot be gainsaid. Nothing was more plain to himself or more evident to the world at large than that the time had come when the effort to establish an empire across the Atlantic must be abandoned. No one can accuse the Emperor NAPOLEON of cowardice, but he never errs on the side of hastiness or exhibits signs of rashness. When he finds that this plan is too uncertain or that project is too un safe, he relinquishes the one and bids farewell to the other. In the present instance he saw, in com mon with the other politicians of Europe, that to pursue the scheme would be to offend the Govern ment of the United States, although, if need re quired him to bear the brunt of their wrathful in dignation, he would not have shrunk from the en counter, but to do so without any real cause or impe rative claim would have been foolish in the extreme, and, in fact, an act quite contrary to the course he has consistently pursued to the satisfaction of his own subjects, and the admiration of his contem- poraries. Of course no one imagines for a moment that the giving up of the attempt to establish a domi nion under French auspices is due to any apprehen sion entertained about JUAREZ and his followers, but the United States declared so strongly against the affair, as soon as the war that raged between them and the South was at an end, that it was quite impossible to mistake their meaning ; and be sides this, it was soon seen that the French people did not first take up the matter so eagerly as had been anticipated, and after a while seemed to be averse to it altogether. In the face of decided op position in America, and quasi support and coun tenance at home, no wonder that the EMPEROR was induced to abandon the scheme, however reluctant to do so, and however much he might regret what seems, at first sight, to be a failure, his " first failure,"' as it it has, indeed, been emphatically styled in some quarters. We must also take into account that the very cir cumstances which operated against the Emperor MAXIMILIAN, and the chances of success to the French undertaking, were all so many adjuncts of great moment to JUAREZ and his immediate fol lowers, and he found an ally of unquestionable value in the American PRESIDENT. We have no doubt that great disadvantages to the Mexicans will be the immediate result of the retirement of the French from the scene of their late exploits. Whatever may be the pros and cons about the desirability of their interference, no sound opinion can be entertained as to the social benefit which their presence conferred on the inhabitants. Order was established in a great measure, and the fears that were previously felt with good justice as to the safety of life and property were greatly diminished, if not altogether abandoned, while their rule was in force. All this was done, we must remember, in the face of all kind of discouragement, and in spite of constant harassing in various quarters. No wonder, then, that people should now inquire what will become of the Mexicans under the new phase of their affairs ? The responsibility of maintaining peace and of re-establishing it will now rest with the United States, and we hope that by vigorous mea sures and determined efforts the Americans will do all that the Emperor MAximiLIAN desired, but could not possibly execute, and that the end of this vexatious strife and bitter antagonism may be that a decided improvement will be visible in the state and condition of Mexico and its inhabitants, for they stand greatly in need of them. The mail from the Cape of Good Hope gives us some account of the state of affairs at the Antipodes. Their political session, like their natural seasons, comes round at a different time of the year from our own, and while our statesmen and politicians are enjoying their holiday, and the world in general is lamenting the dulness of the time, the colonists at Cape Town are full of active business. Both Houses of Parliament, we are told, are proceeding actively with the business of the session, and their difficulties and disputes seem to be very much akin to the perplexities of the mother country. There, as here, there seems to be a great talk about eco monisiug the national expenditure, and a great deal of difficulty in reducing theory to practice. The Colonial Secretary, who is there the Finance Minister, made his Budget Speech on Sept. 25, and a long debate ensued upon the necessity of economy in the administration of the public funds, and the Estimates were referred to a selected committee, whose report had not appeared when the mail left. The measures under discussion, of course, stood over during the interval ; but, as might have been expected, they have occasioned a good deal of debate out of doors. The Chambers at Cape Town and Port Elizabeth appear to be actuated by liberal mo ti ve s, and to use their influe nce i n favour of ue ann underenlightened policy. They h ave had the tariff ti consideration, and whil e th ey agree gs o in the main with theGovebronthmernetfupsrepd to supportposaltoim pose import duties, they the proposal to impose Customs duties on exp or t, and have ignored the principle of protection to na tbievheailaf d i us a t t r h y o , i c i o o l t o w n iyt. T h s t a n h d o n i is to agitation iu tsco'lsoloniny,e if pros per, must do so through commerce; an d a restric tivetime policy, however tempting for the it , will be detrimental to its interests is the long run. As an agricultural and pastoral country the exports must form a most important part of its trade, and any obstacles put in their way will be damaging to the very source to which the colonists must look for wealth and prosperity. We are glad to find the Chambers of Commerce alive to the real interests of trade, and in this re spect, as in many others, our colonists may learn from the hard won experience of the mother country, whose trade and commerce have expanded with the removal of successive restrictions. English de pendencies should not be behind continental nations in profiting by our example, and in accepting the doctrines of Free Trade, which are forcing their way slowly but surely even among the most extensive nations. The French have to thank the sagacity of their EIt£EROR for the introduction of principles which were at first received with great disfavour by the merchants and manufacturers who have since been forced to admit the advantages of the system which they condemned. Even Austria has begun to awake to the perception of the necessity of a bolder and more liberal commercial policy, An d it is not a. little singular that the Americans, who are so enlightened in many respects, have still so much to learn with respect to Free Trade. Happily the commercial prospects of the Cape are at present satisfactory. The crops are reported to be largely in excess of any previous year, and are for the most part in a very promising condition, while the wool-growers have had the best season on record, so that there was greater activity and a more sanguine spirit noticeable in all departments. The Ministry has apparently a very easy task this session, for we find that the Colonial Secretary, in moving the second reading of a bill authorising the Government to raise a loan for the construction of railways, met with a very strong opposition. The reasons urged against the bill are not stated, and may perhaps be valid, but the extension of the means of transit and communication throughout the colony is very much to be desired. The natives are quiet, though there has been a domestic difficulty arising from their depredations. It seems that some of the border residents, not being satisfied with the protection afforded by the Go vernment, have formed a mutual protection society to check the cattle stealing from which they suffer so much. They have on a recent occasion over stepped the law, and have been called to account by the Governor, who has instituted proceedings against them. The affair has excited a great deal of attention, but the general feeling is in favour of the Governor. Altogether the aspect of affairs is tranquil, and the prospects of the colony on the whole arc satisfactory. It is one of the most promising signs of our social improvement that great attention is now given to the care of our destitute and neglected children. The numbers of these poor little outcasts may not be quite so alarming as speechmakers occasionally represent them to be, but they are sufficiently large to produce a very sensible effect on the welfare of the next generation. There are critics who find a great deal to say against any benevolent efforts on their behalf, proving very logically that the respon sibility of caring for them, training them, and bringing them up as honest and industrious members of the State, should be divided between the parents and the Government. But as generally happens in cases where we have to deal with facts, and not with theories, logic and philo sophy do not altogether answer, and the result of having trusted to what ought to be rather than having recognised what is now felt by thousands of men and women, who, as boys and girls, might have been rescued from the workhouse, the asylum, or the gaol. The treatment of these children is not a question which bears delay. Time, which flies fast enough with most of us, brings little change in a year or two to the busy states man, the eager politician, the indefatigable man of business ; but the lapse of a few years will trans form the child into a boy, the boy into a youth, the youth into a man, and before we have settled which course to adopt with regard to his education we find him beyond control. When the Ragged Schools were first established they were regarded by many as a mere temporary expedient till something better was thought of ; but a good many generations of little scholars, reckoning by their brief time of train ing, have passed through those schools while the better plan is yet undiscovered. It seems but a short time since a few benevolent gentlemen, moved by the necessities of the little children who were too young for the ordi nary refuges and reformatories, but not too you ng to suffer to sin and to starve, proposed the esta blishment of a " Home for Little Boys." Yet two years have passed since the scheme was definitely set on foot, and 90 boys are enjoying its benefits. The " Home" is at Tottenham, but another is being erected at Horton Kirby, in Kent, of which the Princess of WALES laid the first stone. Her Royal Highness has taken a true motherly interest in the scheme, and has given: it every encourage ment. It is in every sense an excellent and practical undertaking, and supplies a want which has long existed, but which in the crowd of more pressing and demonstrative claims has been over looked. The manner in which the details of the scheme are arranged is highly satisfactory, and we heartily wish it success. We have all along thought that the Berlin Go vernment would not find it quite so easy as they ex pected to have it all their own way in the Chamber of Deputies, and the experiences that have lately been made seem to confirm the notion. The fact is, that the Prussians are always very willing to sup port any one, and to push forward any undertaking that they think will conduce to their own immediate ends of self-aggrandisement or military renown, but they are not quite simple enough to believe all that a specious Minister says, or to sanction all the unscrupulous acts he resorts to in the course of his sinister proceedings. It is with great satisfaction that we find a decided affront has been put upon M. BISMARCK by the recent decision of the Chamber. The motion of Herr LUDER was agreed to by 126 votes to 122, the terms of which were to the effect that the Govern ment should be censured for " the sale of the Cologne-Minden Railway without the sanction of the Chambers." We do not expect.that any direct result will follow from this decision, but still it is one of great importance, since it proves that the Chamber will jealously watch over its privileges, and also that it will not hesitate to express its indignation at any de parture from the rules by those in authority. This is the third or fourth time since the recent war that Count BISMARCK has found the Deputies to be not quite so pliable as he had imagined they would be. Already the prestige of the war has gone by in a great measure, and people are beginning to think that they may pay too dearly for the much-coveted prize they have acquired. Before long there will not be wanting further proofs of this dissatis faction; but, considering the short time that has elapsed since the Prussian Minister was the hero of the day, we think that ho has encoun tered a good many lets and hindrances. The Mi nister of the Interior has declared that entire unity reigns among the members of the Cabinet, and that all that has transpired to the contrary is with out foundation. He said that no Goverrment can be carried on without secret funds and so on ; he gained his point, and the vote was agreed to. Alto gether we do not think that the re i s much to envy in the position of the Prussian Ministers just now ; but in all probability their leader's work has yet to com e when the North German Parliament assembles. The Rev. Mr. Spurgeon recently told the fol lowing story in ridicule of stupid preachers : —A Yorkshireman, excusing himself for not attend ing church in the evening, said he never went at night because he could not stand it more than once a day ; and when asked why, he said—" Well, our minister is a muff," and compared him to a mill, which, going round on Sundays without any corn to grind, went clicketty clack, clicketty clack. " Their minister," he said, "had got into such a way of going on that he could stop himself until the time was up, and so he went on clicketty clack, clicketty clack ! You know," the Yorkshireman said, " he ain't a grinding anything •, there is no thing in it at all. Ile has got in the habit of going on, and he does go on, but nothing comes of it ; and that what I call being a muff." TEE SUN, LOiNDOIN, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24 1:366. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The chief point of interest in the Paris papers to day relates to the alleged abdication of the Emperor Maximilian. Several of them express strong doubts of the truth of the news. In the news from Mexico, which I noticed yesterday, no mention is made of the departure of the Emperor, but the despatches are dated nine days previously to the time when his alleged departure from Mexico took place. I am told that the Government has not yet received any official confirmation of the news. The Gazette de France only says that "if the news in the English papers be correct, and it is far from improbable, the departure of the Emperor Maximilian is explained and justified." It adds, however, that if such im portant events had taken place in Mexico, it is diffi cult to believe that no official account of them has reached the Government. The Journal du Havre, after giving an analysis of all the news received there by the last packet from Mexico, says--" According to all the news, ambiguous as it may be, one fact is evident, that .the Emperor Maximilian is no longer in his capital, and though in the official reports not a word is said of the Regency of Marshal Bazaine or General Castelnau, it is very possible that the Emperor may be already on his way to Europe." A commercial society, at Charleroi, has been dis solved for a curious reason. One of the members died suddenly from cholera, and, as is usual, he was not only interred without delay, but he was buried in his clothes. It has since been discovered that the deed authorising the society was in the watch pocket of the deceased, and it not being now pos sible to produce it, there is an end to the company. An alleged case of poisoning, similar to those which have occurred both in England and France, now occupies public attention at Dresden. The accused is a barrister of eminence, and the prose cution is instituted by the Germania Insurance Company of Stettin. The prisoner, it appears, effected insurances on the life of his wife with that and other companies to the amount of 90,000 f. A short time afterwards the wife, MadameM., died very suddenly. In conformity with one of the clauses of the policy the body was dissected and the interment took place, there being no suspicion at the time. Some circumstances, however, transpired which induced one of the companies to demand the exhumation of the body. A second examination took place and a portion of the intestines was sent to a Berlin chemist to be analysed. Traces of acetate of morphine were then discovered, and the accused was arrested. It appears that he had pos sessed a large fortune, but from speculations or extravagance it was almost all dissipated, and he had paid to the creditors the money he received from the insurance offices. A woman named Marguerite Moreau, the wife of a small farmer at Ligny des Charolles, has just drowned her little girl, two years old, under cir cumstances which inspire horror. She left her house with the child, and the next day was seen wander ing about the fields alone. When questioned she admitted that she had drowned it. She said she plunged into a pond head foremost and held it there for a quarter of an hour. Being afraid to return home she strolled about the country, not knowing what to do. She said they were in very great dis tress, and the husband compelled her to take the child into the fields every day where she went to work, and she drowned it " that it might not take cold." A most extraordinary instance of a sudden change in the colour of the hair is said by the Semaine Re ligieuse to have taken place at Nevers. In reference to such a change Dr. Bossu, a French surgeon, says that great grief sometimes causes the hair even of young persons to turn grey. This was the case with Queen Marie Antoinette. The present instance has some very peculiar characteristics. On All Saints' Day, M. X., curate of Nevers, without experienc ing any violent emotion or feeling at all ill, found that his hair suddenly changed colour. It was white, but on the fore part of his head it became of blood colour. The boys of the choir first remarked the change. A lady who came to visit him also saw it, and spoke to him about it. He did not pay any attention to the circumstance, thinking that itmight be dust. By the evening, however, the phenomenon was completely effected, and the whole head of hair had become the colour of blood. One of his rela tives asked him in alarm what he had been doing. He replied that he did not feel anything the matter with him. However, a sister of charity who attended upon the sick was sent for. She came with several other sisters, and they turned pale with fright on entering the room. The curate himself had most presence of mind. He asked for some water, and washed his head successively with six basins of water, which were brought. A doctor was sent for, who prescribed some cooling medicine. The pa tient, if so he may be called, said he did not want any medicine, but he would take some out of com plaisance. He then went to bed and slept as usual. The next day his hair was of another colour. The red had disappeared, and it had a beautiful violet tinge. Some pressing business called him from home, and as he did not feel ill he set out on his journey; but, not wishing to excite curiosity from the colour of his hair, he had his head shaved. The hair already begun to grow again. On the top of the head it is of light violet colour. The curate con tinues in good health, but says that for the last few days he has felt as if his head were entirely empty. The Tribunal de Commerce of the Seine has given an interesting decision in reference to railway liability. Three travellers from Paris to Chatillon took tickets by a train leaving Paris at 7 o'clock in the morning, which ought to have reached its desti nation at 37 minutes past three in the afternoon. In consequence of an accident to the engine, how ever, the train did not reach the point of junction in time to reach the train, which would have com pleted the journey. They, therefore, took a special train, which cost 201 f. Theysued the company for that sum, and also for 100 f. damages. The com pany pleaded that the delay arose from an accident over which they had no control. The Court, how ever, decided that as the cause of delay was escape of steam, which had arisen from want of sufficient watchfulness, the Paris and Lyons Railway was liable for any prejudice caused to the travellers, and therefore it ordered payment for the amount which they claimed. A splendid establishment in the Rue Scribe was opened on Wednesday evening, and the inaugura tion was attended by fashionable ladies, men of literature, art, and finance. It is called the Athe nxum—L'Athenee--and the cost of its construc tion has been almost wholly borne by M. Bischoff sheim, a rich banker, born at Mayence, whose daughter is married to a nephew of Meyerbeer. The establishment is intended for concerts, balls, literary meetings, and, perhaps, theatrical enter tainments. Mdlle. Catherine de Lyon, a beautiful Russian young lady of 18, has been married to M. J. Tolstoy, a Russian gentleman, at the Russian church in the Faubourg St. Honore. The bride has a dowry of ten millions of francs, a fino palace at St. Petersburg, and a splendid hotel in Paris. The value of the wedding present is estimated at a million of francs. Tolstoy is said to possess im mense riches. It results from official records that no less than 150 persons died during 1865 in France aged up wards of 100 years. A Frenchman, named Maufroy, has been con victed and sentenced to death by the Court of Assize of Brabant, Belgium, for the murder of a Frenchman named Jonneau. The trial was under the authority of a special treaty between France and Belgium, giving power to Belgium to judge French subjects, and to France to try Belgian sub jects, for certain crimes. The deceased was a com mercial traveller who was strangled by the prisoner on the high road between Marie and Laon, France, on the 7th of January last.. The prisoner robbed the deceased of sonic articles of mercery and all the money he had about him. The death of a centenarian who took part in the capture of tho Bastille is announced by the Etoile de l'Ariege, which states that M. Jean Jalabert, who served in the armies of the First Republic, has just died at Besset, at the age of 107 years. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AUSTRALASIAN.

A deputation was received from the joint com mittee of the following vestries and district boards, viz.:—llackney, Shoreditch, Bethnal-green, Mile end Old Town, Poplar, Limehouse, and St. George's in-the-East, to present a memorial on the subject of the supply of water to the East of London. Mr. NEWTON introduced the deputation. The memorial stated that the supply from the East London Waterworks was both insufficient in quantity and bad in quality; that they were about to petition Parliament for power to compel the com pany to supply them with water of a better quality and a greater quantity, those districts having suf fered so severely from the late visitation of the cholera, and praying the Board to support them in their application to Parliament. Mr. NEWTON moved that the memorial be referred to the Works and General Purposes Committee. Mr. HULL seconded the motion, which after some discussion was agreed to. After transacting the usual routine business the Board adjourned. The Pockets of the Ratepayers. A correspondent writes to us : A letter to the Poor-Law Bard from their chief medical officer, which appears in the Medical Times, gives the latest development of the great work house question. It appears that there never was any divergence of opinion between Dr. Edward Smith and Mr. Farnall, and when the former was directed to report or suggest such alterations to Parliament as might appear desirable (so long ago as last August), there was then no plan of six large infirmaries, with 1,000 beds each before the public. It is hoped the pockets of the ratepayers will be considered, and no unusual taxation incurred. Dr. Edward Saiith, it appears, long ago recommended good ventilation, with 900 to 1,080 cubic feet of air for workhouse patients, not 500, as erroneously stated. This correspondence makes it clear that it is en tirely erroneous to compare workhouses with mili tary hospitals, as has been done, as at least three times as much air is required in such hospitals as in workhouses ; and a conclusive fact has been elimi nated by Miss Nightingale, viz., that excessive mor tality in general medical cases occurs rather in large hospitals with excessive cubic space than in private dwellings, or wards of workhouses, warm and clean, assimilated to the habits of the infirm poor. Dr. Smith, in the concluding part of the commu nication, appeals to an experience of 30 years of the present system, and avers that no fever nor any other evidence of disease arising from deficient air (overcrowding) can be shown to exist. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DISCHARGING A PISTOL IN THE STREETS.—PAYING FOR A LARK. - John Seagreson, a respectble-looking man, was charged before Mr. Knox with discharging a pistol in Park street, to the common danger of passengers.

He then took the defendant into custody. The defendant said that it was a new pistol, and that ho was only trying it. Mr. Knox told the defendant that he could not be per mitted to discharge firearms in the streets, and fined him 40s. or a month. THAMES. A DISHONEST FELLOW-LODGER CAUGHT IN HER OWN TRAP.—Jane Webb, 32, described as a married woman, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a gold ring and a large quantity of linen, female wearing apparel and other property, belonging to Mrs. Emma Appleton. The two females occupied the same apartments, and slept in the same bed, at 32, Middle Grove-street, St. George's in-the-East. On Wednesday, at 11 o'clock, the prisoner left home, and said she was going to consult a surgeon in the neighbourhood on account of severe illness. She did not return, and Mrs. Appleton took stock of her goods and missed many things. The prisoner had been robbing Mrs. Appleton at intervals for several weeks. A gold ring with a black stone in it, belonging to Mrs. Appleton's husband, was missed three weeks ago, and the prisoner then endeavoured to persuade the prosecutor that another woman had been robbing her. On Sunday week the prisoner loft a large bundle with a woman of her acquaintance, named Ellen Blake, at No. 22, George-terrace St. George-in-the-East. The bundle contained four toilet, covers, two night gowns, a chemise, three strips of needle work, and other articles, all belonging to Mrs. Appleton. On Monday last the prisoner asked for Lhe loan of a clothes basket of Mrs. Ann Schoultze, of 9, Thomas-street, Com mercial-road. The basket was lent to her, and she returned it on Wednesday filled with the property belonging to Mrs Appleton. The prisoner asked Mrs. Schoultze to take . care of the basket and its contents. The prisoner after wards sent a letter to Mrs. Schoultze in accordance with a previous arrangement. The letter was intercepted by James Floyd, a police-constable, 179 H, and he went to the address given by the prisoner in the Waterloo-road and arrested her. He asked her if she had any pawn tickets, and she handed to him a purse containing twelve pawnbrokers' duplicates, all relating to the stolen property. The constable searched the house, and found in it a cheque for £7 18s. on the London and Westminster Bank, payable to the order of a Mr. G. Weston, which she said she picked up in Southwark, and had endeavoured in vain to find the owner. Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner, and directed in• quince to be made about the cheque and its owner. MARKETS.—This day. COVENT GARDEN.
