The active measures taken in both hemispheres have probably by this time reduced the assumption alike of the Madrid Cabinet and of its representative at Valparaiso. Europe will gladly see the affair brought to a conclusion, and the arrogance of Spain towards these Southern Republics reduced and humbled. Unscrupulous Powers are learning a dangerous lesson from the successful spoliation of Denmark; but it is a pre cedent which can hardly be suffered to be followed with impunity, or we shall have a general disor ganisation, and our sacrifices to secure peace will end in producing a prolonged and universal war. The English public will learn with great satisfac tion the termination of the petty but harassing war with Bhootan. Although it could scarcely be ranked among those matters which occasion a serious disturbance in the current of English politics and make unusual demands on the Imperial trea sury, it was from first to last an unsatisfactory business. Since the Viceroyalty of Lord DALHoUSIE the public mind has undergone considerable changes on the subject of annexation, and a good many conscientious persons are apprehensive that we have already done more in that way than we were en titled to do. The great convulsion of 1857, too, awoke England to a fresh sense of her important and responsible duties towards the peoples and races of India, and among the most difficult of these must be ranked our relationship with the native chiefs and with those states that do not own our direct control. There was consequently a fear in some quarters of proceeding to harsh measures with Bhootan, while at the same time it was quite im possible to allow the outrageous conduct of the Bbootanese towards a gentleman who, whatever his diplomatic mismanagement, was the representa tive of the English Government. The two conflict ing feelings were reconciled in a most unsatisfactory manner by placing British troops on the frontiers in such positions that the lives which were spared the risks of warfare succumbed to the pestilence. The divided authority in Bhootan very greatly increased the perplexities of the situa tion, the one party expressing a desire to make terms only to be contradicted by the other. The approach of the cold season brought about promises of submission and peaceable intentions ; the advent of hot weather, when action was difficult for Euro peans, allowed the Bhootanese to assume fresh airs and graces. Happily they have now perceivedtheir error, and appear to have arrived at the conclusion that however long they continue their resistance English power must be triumphant at last. As yet we have no particulars of the manner in which their submission was brought about. We have yet to learn whether it is due to the influence of the Deb Rajah, or to the slowly awakened conviction of the rival party that the struggle is hopeless. However, it matters comparatively little by what means the conclusion has been arrived at, since, according to the overland telegrams received, it is everything that could be wished. The Treaty was signed on the 11th. Full apology is made to the British Go vernment, and all the Dooars are ceded. The pri soners are given up, and free trade is established between British India and Bhootan. There is consequently nothing left to require at their hands, and the last clause of the Treaty, while opening up a fresh channel to Anglo-Indian commercial enterprise is likely to produce important effects pn Bhootan itself. We have, therefore, thus come to a pros perous conclusion of the long-pending dispute with Bhootan, a dispute which the close vicinity of Assam and its rich and thriving tea plantations in vested with some importance. There are not many parts of India in which the inhabitants are ignorant or isolated enough to provoke a struggle for supre macy with the Imperial Power, but it is the grow ing desire of our statesmen and people to rule by reason rather than by fear. The day may be yet far distant in India, but we are moving towards it, and every step we take towards the education and civilisation of the people brings us nearer to it. HOUSES. —Messrs.

The intelligence from South America gives us reason to suppose that Spain, should she proceed to extremities, will find Chili and Peru allied against her. By a singular indiscretion she has given the Peruvians the opportunity, or excuse, for a fresh resistance, and the courage and spirit displayed by Chili seem to have reanimated their flagging energies, and they have refused to submit to her increased extortion. We learn that CAUSECO, the chief of the Peruvian Revolutionists, has declared war against Spain, and that the Chilian frigate Esmeralda had joined the Peruvian fleet at the Chin ch as, the combined squadron being placed under the Chilian commander. An offensive and defen sive alliance has also been concluded between Chili Ecuador, so that the affronted Republic does not lack for allies in her own neighbourhood, besides the more powerful support she may expect from Europe. According to intelligence received by the Moniteur from Valparaiso down to the 12th October both parties were maintaining an expectant attitude, desiring not to prejudice the chance of friendly mediation. The Spanish Admiral-Ambassador was probably somewhat startled at the vigorous resist ance which he had encountered. It would be a very desirable thing, no doubt, to extort a large indemnity for a fancied or pretended wrong from a timorous and weaker Power, which would season ably refresh the Spanish exchequer , but the prosp ec t of an embroglio which should bring the European powers on to the stage would be less enticing. i t is true the example of Prussia and Denmark might give encouragement to believe that wanton aggres sion and dismemberment of a weaker State might go unpunished, so far as England and France were concerned ; but possibly Admiral PAREJA formed a different conclusion in a case where such large commercial interests were at stake. Chili, mean while, would not of course seek to provoke active measures, and, indeed, there is not much within her power on land, though she has taken prompt and vigorous measures for the discomfiture of the enemy at sea. There is good reason to hope that her expectations of the success of European mediation may be realised. It 13 understood in Paris that the Spanish Government has given in and Solicited the mediation of England an d France between itself and Chili, and that in structions have been sent to Admiral PAREJA to abstain from hostilities against the Republic. It is curious to notice the tone of the Spanish press on the affair. One journal affirms confidently that, "de spite the Times and all the merchants in the world," Chili will have to give the satisfaction demanded, or to endure thepunishm en t threatened by Spain. This journal betrays its sense of the difficulty by its refer ence to "all the merchants in the world," well knowing that commercial interests are powerful incentives to action. Another organ, the Epoca, takes however a different tone, and its words are not without sig nificance. In Spain, it says, where the feeling of national di gnity is carried to the highest, A number of the members of the Rugby and Dunchurch Conservative Association met on Friday in the Town Hall. Mr. NEWDEGATE congratulated the Association on having proved its vitality, for it has survived the rinderpest at all events as yet. It certainly would be a pity if these associations and agricultural meetings were to fall into desuetude on account of the calamity which has befallen the greater part of the country, because there are many objects of importance which should not be neglected, even if it is deemed undesirable or found impossible to continue the annual cattle-show. In returning thanks for the members of North Warwickshire Mr. NEWDEGATE made an interesting speech, although of course it was characterised by his ex treme views on some subjects. He declared his desire to serve his constituents, who on their part seemed ever ready to join with him in the considera tion of those subjects which interested all classes of our countrymen. The hon. member, in his down right manner, explained the purport of his work, and said that when his friends asked him what he had to show for so many years' labour he re plied the renewal of his commission. There was great truth in the remark made by the hon. member that it would never do for all public men to set out on a like course with the sole end, aim, and object of personal aggrandisement and political ad vantages. The consciousness of having faithfully discharged one's duties, and gained the apprecia tion of one's friends and neighbours, is quite suffi cient for many to aspire to, and if such a result be gained it cannot be said that time is misspent or energies wasted. If all the members of the Houses of Parliament were struggling in their turns for some personal object, it would soon turn out as is here stated that Parliament would no longer repre sent the will of a great nation as well as its ambi tion and strength. "If each of these members were struggling for som e personal object, Parliament would soon become an aggregate of selfishness, a writhing mass of struggling atoms, incapable, but of continuousaction,violent,ioawt, we ak, incapable, eteehaek, d assemblage of continuous action dragging on its existence from hour to hour in deadly fear of having to hold on in quest of itself.,, Independent mem bers are the strength of Parliament, and the best security and defence for the institution s of the country and the liberties of the subject. Those who are fettered by the tics of party, and tampered with the arbitrary rules of official existence, are often greatly impeded in their course, and sometimes find it almost impossible to give expression to their own individual opinions. It is thus far evident, as Mr. NEWDEGATE infers, that no private member need think he has missed his destiny, if in scanning his career he can point to no office he has filled, and no Ministry of which he has formed a part. In concluding this part of his subject Mr. NEWDEGATE expressed his conviction that the " love of country, national feeling, admiration, and veneration for the constitution under which we live " is limited to no one section of the House of Commons. Referring to the fact of the dreadful visitation which has affected the cattle of this country, the hon. member said it was the " rinderpest." Mr. NEITDEGATE is able to speak with scrafo authority rHE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING,' NOVEMBER 27, lEEE. on this matter, because he is connected with the governorship of the Royal Veterinary College, and he gives it as his opinion that the Commis sioners are right in their declaration as to the neces sity of the " interruption of traffic" if the disease continues to extend. Previous experience in Eng land, and the observations made in foreign coun tries that have lately suffered much from this cause, tend to show the reason these precautions were adopted. It certainly sounds to sense that this will be the only course to adopt, and, as Mr. NEWDEGATE forcibly observed, those individuals are short-sighted and ignorant who make a great clamour about the likelihood of such a restrictive course enhancing the price of meat, because if the disease continues to spread " the price of meat must rise to a de gree to which it never could be enhanced, even by the universal establishment of a dead instead of live meat markets throughout England." In all calamities of this sort the surest and safest policy is to look ahead, and not to allow present inconveniences, because great, to prevent all realisation of future emergencies that may arise. Insurance societies are very de sirable precautions to adopt, both for the sake of compensation and for the purpose of checking the disease. They are very likely to prove more efficacious in the long run than the most strin gent regulations of the authorities, because many attempts will always be made to elude the direc tions given. Mr. NEWPEGATE considers, and with some jus tice, that it is a very awkward practice to " muzzle members" upon political subjects at these associa tions. They are told to hold their tongues re spectintz their business, and yet to respond to a call made upon them as political representatives. With respect to Ireland, the hon. member for North Warwickshire thinks that the Government officials there have acted wisely and well ; and concerning Jamaica, he Very wisely denounced the cause taken by some in upholding the course of the rioters against the representatives of law and authority. Mr. NEWDEGATE spoke very fairly as to the claims which the Government of Earl Rus- SELL possesses upon the forbearance of all, although he does not think that the noble lord will be able to carry on the Government of the country with as much skill and success as Lord PALMERSTON—an opinion in which many of all shades o f opinion and diversity of rank will doubtless concur, with out any disrespect to the present Premier or his colleagues. Drury Lane Theatre, On Saturday evening a new comic Irish drama founded on Charles Lever's celebrated work, " Charles O'Malley," entitled " Galway go Bragh," was produced, and met with the most decided suc cess. For the pleasant, lively, and rollicking drama we have to thank Mr. E. Falconer, the lessee, who, besides being the adaptor, is the representative of the principal character, blundering, loving, blarney ing Mickey Free. The first two acts of the piece are laid in Ireland, and the third in the Peninsula, but a succession of fun is kept up which was thoroughly enjoyed by the brilliant audience as sembled on Saturday evening. That Mr. Falconer should have made a hit in the part of Mickey Free is by no means surprising, because his great creation in the " Colleen Bawn" proved him to be one of our best Irish comedians ; and although the pecu liar part represented in " Galway go Bragh" differs from it in every particular, yet the rich fun and humour he infuses into it brings it quite up to the level of his Danny Mann. Miss Haziewood sustained the part of a lively Irish student, Frank Webber, with great spirit and effect---the laughable incident in the second act, viz., the coining to the ball disguised as the terrible Irish aunt was capitally done. The other characters were all well represented, and contributed in a very liberal manner to the en joyment of the audience; and, taken in connection with the bustle, music, and dancing, " Galway go Bragh" will prove an excellent afterpiece to the splendid tragedy of " King John." We are sure it will be productive of great plea sure to hear that Mr. Blanchard has furnished his annual grand pantomime for this theatre. This year " Fortunatus" will be the name of the Christ mas entertainment. A better subject we don't think could have been chosen. The Chapel Royal of the Savoy. Yesterday this Royal and very ancient church, which has just been restored by the munificence of her Majesty, and with which so many interesting historical associations are connected, was again opened for Divine worship, and the Dean of West minster, Dr. Stanley, preached a sermon on the oc casion. It will be recollected that the fabric was in great part destroyed by fire in July, 1864, and that all the more interesting parts of it, especially a very beautiful ceiling and some fine monuments, perished in the flames. The disaster was generally deplored at the time, particularly by the inhabitants of the ancient precinct of the Palace of the Savoy, to whom the chapel was an object of peculiar veneration. No time, however, was lost in its restoration, and the fabric has now risen again from its ruins at the cost of the Queen, as Duchess of Lancaster, to the great gratification of the parishioners and of persons of archwological taste. It has been rebuilt at a cost of about £5,000, under the superintendence of Mr. Sydney Smirke, the eminent architect ; the roof has been embellished very much after the design of that which was destroyed, but with greater splendour ; the great Tindow over the altar has been magnificently painted, and a fine organ erected at the southern end of the chapel. Over the window is a Latin inscription to the effect that it was presented by the inhabitants of the precinct in 1843, destroyed with the chapel in 1864, and restored by Queen Victoria in me mory of the Prince Consort in 1865. A beauti ful font has been contributed at great cost by Mrs. De `Vint, a parishioner, in memory of her husband and brother, the water-colour painters, and in place of a mural monument of them which perished in the fire, and Mr. Burgess, an inhabitant of the precinct, has given an oaken pulpit of chaste design and elegantly carved. DEATH AMONG THE AUTHORS.—Mr. Sala writes : 'Whom the gods love die young they say ; but in our age it would seem as though the most intellectually favoured were permitted to arrive at maturity, and were then, with out preparation, smitten down. Lord Macaulay, William Makepeace Thackeray, Albert Smith, David Roberts, Eliza beth Barrett Browning, John Leech—all died with awful suddenness. Now it is Mrs. Gaskell. Who next, and next ?" THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of the members will take place on Tuesday next the 28th inst., at 2 p.m., at Exeter-hall ; Viscount Ranelagh in the chair. MARRIED OR NOT MARRIED.—WhiIe a couple were being married in Preston Church the other morning, the mother of the young lady, who was under ago, rushed into the church and forbade the wedding. The officiating minister !at once stopped the service, and the bridegroom had pronounced the words "With this ring I thee wed," declared that no legal marriage had taken place. Since then, however, the matter has been discussed at a meeting of the clergy, and the unanimous decision they pt lawfully is a m v a e r l r y i e t d i e a k c i c i s o , di ono, g t a o n t d h e w r i i l t l e s p o r o f b t a h b e l y C h h u a r v c e li. t o The settled in the law courts.

Meantime a new distribution of handbills has been ordered to be made throughout the city and county. On Monday last the mother and grand father of the child made a visit to Irvine, from which they walked back as far:as Glasgow, inquiring at all the police stations on their way, but the clue they supposed they had in that direction turned out unsuccessful. The suspicion is entertained by the police that the child must have been taken away by some woman who desired to establish a claim for aliment as a mother - a suspicion more probable than that the infant was taken for purposes of meadioancy.— Edinburgli Courant. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE PENIANS. DEPARTURE OF MEN-OF-WAR FROM QUEENSTOWN. QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 27. The war ships Liverpool and Achilles put to sea yesterday from this port with constabulary on board. The object of their departure is kept secret, but it is supposed to be to search for Stephens the Fenian Head Centre. THE OUTBREAK IN JAMAICA. Advices from Jamaica to the Gth November state that troops had been stationed at all parts of the island, and the rebellion seemed to be at an end. Arrests continued, and a large number of insur gents had been hanged. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE PERUVIAN. (Via Greencastle.) NEW YORK, Nov. 17 (Evening). The New York Tribune denies the truth of the reported naval preparations at Portsmouth Navy yard. General Grant is receiving much popular atten tion in this city. He has visited the Union League Club, when, in reply to a speech of Mr. Beakman expressing sympathy for Mexico, and a firm belief in her coming deliverance, the General said that the speaker's remarks concerning the future of Mexico expressed his own sentiments. Toronto despatches report considerable excite ment in that city. A portion of the military were under arms, and the whole police force on duty. Orders had been received at Hamilton and To ronto to despatch troops to the frontier. It was understood that nine corps would be sent. The sale of Government transports has been suspended in Louisiana. Orders have been received in Texas not to muster out any more troops, and to discontinue the sales of Government property. The New Orleans Delta states that some Federal troops have been ordered to the Rio Grande. Mr. Chawncey M. Depew has been appointed Minister to Japan. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Money easier.

The siege of Matamoras continued. 1,800 Republicans under Pendro Mendot had reinforced Cerdo before Matamoras, having pre viously surprised and utterly destroyed an important garrison of 100 men, including a number of French troops. Matamoras papers assert that the Republicans had offered the Federals at Brownsville four hours to plunder Matamoras if they would assisr, them. Large French forces were landing at Bagdad, against which city the Republican forces under Canales were marching. Captain Sinclair, of the Republican forces, for merly a lieutenant on board the Alabama, had cap tured an Imperial transport and delivered her to the Federal authorities at Brownsville, who put a guard on board the gunboat and passed her up from Bagdad to Matamoras. Influential persons arrived at New Orleans from ilatamoras, on the 17th, express no fear of the capture of the city, which was well supplied and fortified. In reply to a protest of the Mexican Republican Consul at San Francisco, General M'Dowell has stated that the prohibition of the exportation of arms to Mexico by sea as well as by land is intended by his late order. Advices from Vera Cruz to the 7th inst. state that Juarez was in Texas en route for Padras Negras, and also that the Federal troops in Texas were moving towards the river as if contemplating some hostile movement. The Imperialists had captured three Federal soldiers in the Republican camp near Matamoras. They were court-martialled, and it was supposed they would be shot. Lower California had declared allegiance to the Imperial Government. The New Orleans Times corroborates the rumours of naval and military preparations, and the stoppage of the sales of Government stores, and thinks that unless the French withdraw from Mexico before Christmas there will be Federal intervention in favour of Juarez. The Commercial Advertiser asserts that the Go vernment will shortly offer to fund all compound interest bearing legal tender notes at par, with the accrued interest into 5-20 Bonds at fixed prices. Toronto despatches state that the precautionary measures taken by the Government had restored confidence. The Persia has been released from quarantine, after 24 hours' detention. CANADA.

A body of 4,000 troops has arrived in this city in order to prevent any disturbance of public order. M. Lindbach, the clergyman chargvi with ba!";Ting poisoned five persons, has committed suicide by hanging himself in prison. FRANCE. A Montpellier journal announces that a young lady of twenty, Mlle. Antonia Cellarier, the daughter of a naval officer who died in the colonies, has just obtained the diploma of bachelier-es-lettres in that town, after passing a brilliant examination. Among twenty candidates the young lady held the first place for her translation from the Latin, and the fourth for her essay written in that language. Mlle. Cellarier is the fourth young woman that has obtained a similar diploma within the last year or two, the other three having their examinations at Lyons, Bordeaux, and Algiers. CRIME IN FRANCE.—The Court of Assizes of the Herault, sitting at Montpellier, has just tried an Italian, named Paccini, aged 27, a native of Pistoja, charged with having, on the 2d October, committed the crime of manslaughter on the person of another Italian named Pardini. It appeared from the evi dence that both of the men, who are contractors for building and other works, for some time exercised their calling at Cette, and that great animosity existed between them owing to trade rivalry. On the evening of the day abovementioned, an altercation arose be tween Pardini's wife and a woman named Fricon, with whom Paccini cohabited. Pardini interfered and endeavoured to pacify the woman, and while he was thus engaged the prisoner Paccini, without saying a word, suddenly stabbed him in the groin, inflicting a wound which terminated fatally. As the crime was proved by the evidence of several witnesses, the jury at once brought in a verdict of guilty, but with extenuating circumstances, and the Court sentenced the prisoner to 15 years' hard labour ; also to pay Pardini's widow a sum of 3,000 f. as damages. A young man named Bellefontaine, aged 24, and recently a grocer's shopman, has just been tried at the Court of Assizes of Rouen for an attempted murder. At the commencement of the year 1864 the accused entered the service of a tradesman named Grandin, at Coudebec-sur-Seine, and shortly after became on terms of criminal intimacy with his master's wife. The suspicions of Grandin were soon excited, and he at length surprised Bellefontaine and his mistress embracing each other. On finding them selves discovered they fell on their knees and implored his pardon. Grandin made the prisoner as well as the woman an write acknowledgment of culpability, and then dismissed Bellefontaine, who promised to leave the neighbourhood. This, however, he did not do, but immediately commenced a secret correspon dence with Mme. Grandin, and endeavoured to per suade her to abandon her husband and children and elope with him. She refused, and the accused, find ing that his efforts were unsuccessful, obtained a meeting with her, and, after repeating his proposal, with a like result, inflicted a wound in her throat with a razor, and then endeavoured to commit suicide himself. They, however, both recovered from their injuries. Bellefontaine was in a great measure inspired by interest in trying to induce the woman to fly with him, as he was aware that one day she would possess a fortune of 60,0001 r. in her own right. A further proof that he was not sincere in his passion was that at the very moment when he was trying to persuade her to leave her husband he had proposed marriage to a young woman at Petit-Quevilly. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, with extenuating cir cumstances, and the Court sentenced him to fifteen years' hard labour. Fcur Arabs, one condemned for a murder com mitted two years back, and three others for the murder and robbery of a woman in May last, last week underwent the extreme penalty of the law on the guillotine at Aumale, in the province of Algiers. A large number of persons were present, and the execution appeared to make a great impression on the native population.

The management deal with the chef only, who em ploys his own assistants, and is responsible for them. These assistants are continually changed and badly paid, and vigorous measures are adopted to secure their diligence and punctuality. The chef, who is permanent, makes a large income, and his cabriolet at the stage door indicates the posi tion he has acquired in the theatre. His sources of income are numerous and elastic. He is paid a regular salary by the manager, and in addition he levies black mail on the artistes. Every artiste must pay him. No pay, no applause ; and as the actor cannot live without applause, pay is inevitable. The usual mode is to enter into a contract for a month. The minimum fee for a month, from the poorest and most obscure person in the theatre, may be set down at 50 francs. The maximum has no limit. It mounts according to the ambition or the means of the actor. As much as 500 franes have been known to be paid for a single night's applause. The ordinary month's contract does not cover all occasions. When a new play is brought out, or a stock play is reproduced, each of the actors is personally waited on for instruc tions as to the particular passages at which they de sire applause, and fees are charged accordingly. So completely is the claque reduced to a system, that the chef is admitted to the last rehearsal of every new piece, in order that he may arrange and orga nise, in concert with the company, all the points for which his services are required. There is a tariff for special demonstrations, over and above the ordinary course of applause during the performance. A re ception, for example, which is the technical term for applause on the entrée of a performer, is five francs; and so in proportion for calls, encores, and other marked displays of hired support.—The Reader. MAROONS.—" Barclay's Dictionary" says :—" A name given to those negroes who, on the conquest of Jamaica in the time of Cromwell, deserted their Spanish masters, and betook themselves to the mountains, and maintained themselves in independence. This was after wards confirmed to them by treaty, and a distinct portion of land allowed them for their residence ; but on the occa sion of a revolt the greater part of them were destroyed and transported. Slaves who run away from their owners, and live in the bush, are usually, now, called maroons." " Walker's Dictionary" says ;—" A name given to free blacks living on the mountains in the West Indies.—To put sailors ashore on a desolate isle for some crime.--A brownish crimson; of a claret colour. The New York papers say that the Hon. Caleb Cushing's contemplated trip to Europe has been postponed until spring. He will then go professionally for the United States Treasury Department, in relation to large quantities of libelled Confederate States cotton, unless the English Government should sooner conclude to admit the American claims in the premises. It is said that one of Caleb Cushing's recent retaining fees was $20,000, THE GALES. For three consecutive nights high gales succeeded each other at Plymouth. On Friday night they blew heavily from south and south-west, and on Friday and Saturday morning the following vessels arrived in the Sound :—The Austrian bark Monte Maggiore, Captain Valcich, from Trieste, with loss of sails and bulwarks ; the brig Andric, Capt. Voschich, from Trieste, with loss of sails, bulwarks, boat, &c. ; the Mecklenburg brig George and Adolphe, Captain de Schutterow, from Taganrog for orders, the Italian bark Dei, Capt. Murzi, from Taganrog ; the Prus sian ship Criminal, Captain Nath Brand . Freytag, from Odessa ; the British bark Caradon, Captain Cuthbert, from Berdianski, with loss of sails and decks swept. At one time on Saturday morning the wind was easterly ; towards noon it went to the south-west, and blew with as much severity as ever. About 3 o'clock the Danish ship Brigetta Melchiors, Capt. Harboe, from Hayti, with a cargo of logwood tobacco, and sugar, and some female passengers, drove from her moorings in the Sound, and seemed on the point of being wrecked. Her pilot, John Hoppen, with some difficulty hoisted a jib, when providentially she went a little ahead, and he then got up a fore staysail, and skilfully steering her so as to avoid injury to other ships, he first put her well to the windward, so as to clear the Batten-ledge, and then rounded her for Catwater. Here there was a crowd of merchant vessels, observing which, and knowing the locality well, Hoppen managed, when sheltered by the Batten, to ground her on the mud. By the time she floated an anchor and chain held her securely. Shortly after wards the Mecklenberg brig Commercienathian Haupt, Capt. Hendrick Peters, from Taganrog, with wheat, made for the port for shelter. The master, who is a stranger, first ran towards St. Nicholas Island, then went inside the ships lying in the mer chant anchorage to the westward, and then to the southward, close to the Batten-ledge, where he dropped his anchor. It dragged immediately, and the vessel went astern until she struck on the ledge, about 5 o'clock. In half an hour, with the help of the lifeboat Prince Consort, manned by the Coast guard, the master and crew, 11 in all, were rescued. The crew, with other shipwrecked seamen, are in the Sailors' Home. The brig will probably - go to pieces. A small Welsh schooner, belonging to Aberavon, was stranded on Saturday afternoon un der Queen Anne's battery. The dead bodies of nine of the crew of the brig • Favourite, of Liverpool, which was wrecked off Blackpool on Wednesday night last, had up to Saturday afternoon been cast ashore, six at Bisp ham, about three miles distant ; one at Cleveleys, about the same distance ; and two at Fleetwood, five miles off. The coast above Blackpool for two or three miles is strewn with pieces of spars, sails, and broken timber belonging to the wrecked vessel. About 100 barrels of palm oil and several bags of seeds, forming part of the Favourite's cargo, have been washed ashore, and are now in charge of the authorities. The inquest on the bodies of the sailors thus far found was held on Saturday afternoon. Police-constable Robert Smith said on Saturday he went to the sands above Black pool, and saw four dead bodies. On the arms of one man there were three letters, " W. C. C." He had not been able to ascertain the names of any of the deceased men. Robert Bickerstaffe, coxswain of the Blackpool lifeboat, said he saw the brig Fa vourite for the first time on Wednesday night, about 8 o'clock. She was then on shore north-west of Blackpool, and from the headboards which came up it is concluded that she is the Favourite, of Liver pool. The lifeboat crew made three attempts to reach the Favourite ; but the sea was running so high and the wind was blowing so strongly that they could not get within 150 yards of her, and ultimately had to return to shore. While making one attempt four of the oars ol the lifeboat were broken, through the roughness of the water. When making the third attempt to reach the Favourite a white light was shown from her deck. No distress signal and no light of any description was seen before then, neither were any cries from the crew heard. Soon after reaching the shore, and while putting the boat upon the carriage, a cry was raised that the vessel had gone down, and she was never afterwards seen. None of her crew were observed on deck or in the rigging. The vessel went down shortly after 10 o'clock at night. Afterwards the crew of the lifeboat, on being told that some one was shouting out in the direction where the vessel had sunk, again got their craft in readiness and rowed out, but they could neither see nor hear any one. The lifeboat men, when they could not reach the vessel, went up to the shore for the purpose of rendering assistance to any of the crew who it was supposed might be drifting landwards, but they could see no one. In answer to a juryman the wit ness said that the crew of the lifeboat did their utmost to reach the vessel, and only desisted from further attempts when exhausted, and con fronted by a sea which could not be managed. Mr. J. Richardson Thompson, of Whitehaven, said that the Favourite was his property. Her crew con sisted of ten men. She left England on the 12th of May last, and on her return voyage was bound for Liverpool, from Sherbro, via Sierra Leone, with a - cargo of palm oil and seeds. She was 19 years old. Three years ago she was fully repaired and re-classed A red for eight years. William Hinde, of Whitehaven, was her captain. The first mate's name was William Nixon, who came from the same town. The steward was named Stephen son. He was a native of Whitehaven, but had for some time resided when on shore at Liverpool. One of the sailors was, he believed, named Wm. Casson, or Camson. He did not know the names of any of the other men. The captain, whose body had been washed ashore, was a married man and the father of four children. The coroner in summing up the evi dence, said that the lifeboat crew appeared to have done their duty, and were not to blame in the matter. A verdict of accidentally drowned was returned. The weather has been stormy at , Blackpool ever since Wednesday, and on Saturday night a heavy sea was running. The gale has been severely felt along the Vale of Glocester, up which the wind, being nearly west, rushes with direct force. At Haverton as Mr. Harris, a farmer, was approaching his own house, he was in sight of his wife blown into a pool and drowned be fore assistance could be rendered him. It is a curi ous coincidence that the deceased's brother was accidentally drowned in the same pool about a year ago. Very serious apprehensions are entertained re specting the fate of the spire of the parish church at Cheltenham, which on Wednesday had two stones blown from it on to the roof of the building. It is much feared that the gale which returned on Satur day night may consummate the mischief begun on that day. A woman named Sedley was killed at Upton-on- Severn by the blowing down of a wall, and a signal station at Malvern was blown down during a brief absence of the alarmed signalman. The arrival of immigrants at the port of New York numbered 9,814 during the week ending Friday, Nov. 3, as follows : —Oct. 28, 1,612 ; 29th, 959 ; 30th, 761 ; 31st, 2,234 ; Nov. 1, 1,228 ; 2d, 1,250 ; 3d, 1,770. THE JAMAICA RIOTS.--An influential preliminary meeting was held at Manchester on Tuesday morning, at which it was agreed to take immediate stops for getting up a requisition to the Mayor, calling upon him to summon a public meeting of the citizens to demand from the Go vernment a most searching investigation of the recent pro ceedings in Jamaica. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE. —Homoeopathic practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of alt beverages. When the doctrine of homoeopathy was first introduce_! into this country, there were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac tive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manu factured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his attention to this subje..t, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, a id so refined by the perf et trituration it te -elves in the process it passel Ihrough, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps' cocoa is distimiuished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delicious aroma Dr. Hassan in his work. "Food and its Adulterations," says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive principles ; every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again, "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Direc tions : —Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with bailing water or milk.

THE PRINCESS HE LENA .—The Kieler Zeitung says: —" A rumour is current of the intended betrothal of Prince Christian of Augustenburg to the Princess Helena of Eng land. We reproduce this rumour without guaranteeing its accuracy. It is, however, announced that the Prince will visit London next month." We believe there is no doubt of the fact thus cautiously stated.

Military Riot at Martinique. - A sanguinary collision has taken place between a party of Zouaves going outto Mexico and the troops charged with maintaining order in the island of Martinique. The following details are given in the official Moniteur de la Martinique : "It appears that the transport Allier anchored in the roadstead of Fort-de-France on the morning of Oct. 27, having on board 1,039 men of the Ist and 3d regiments of Zouaves. On the same day the Var arrived from Mexico with 500 soldiers returning to France. The Zouaves were landed, as the vessel had to undergo some slight repairs, and they were assigned Fort Desaix as their quarters. The gover nor had decided to allow the town to be visited by 200 at a time, and aethe Allier was to remain a bout a week in port, each soldier would thus profit by the permission in his turn. The day after their arri val, however, the Zouaves, not content with this arrangement, crowded together round the principal gate of the fort, demanding with loud cries and menaces to go out in a mass. Capt. Leconte, com mander of the fort, then intervened, and aided by the officers of the men on duty there endeavoured to appease them, but not succeeding, gave orders to Sub-Lieutenant Joumet to collect all the disposable troops and place them in line before the gate of en trance. During his absence, however, the outbreak assumed more serious proportions, the Zouaves tak" ing up stones and hurling them against the soldiers on guard, whilst some had recourse to the fire-arras of the men in hospital, their own arms having re mained on board the vessel. In this way Lieut• Joumet was struck by a ball, which broke his arm ; a marine was killed by a shot from a carbine ; and, on the other hand, two Zouaves were despatched 11 bayonet thrusts. Capt. Leconte, who had returned to the scene of action, finding himself forced, after repeated efforts to repulse the assailants, to retire a little from the gate, took up a position on the slope outside, determined to defend the issue at all hazards with the few men under him. Twice the Z o navee attempted sorties, and twice A ere repulsed by the bayonet, with loss sufficient to enable the captain to maintain his position till the arrival of the succour he had sent for. Capt. Sasias, in fact, acting un der orders from the governor, had collected together at Fort St. Louis, a first detachment of 75 men , and led them to Fort Desaix by the nearest route. Sub-Lieutenant Bouvier was sent on in advance with 20 men to aid Capt. Leconte, but with orders not to fire till the last extremity. The Zouaves had, in the meantime, found an additional number of firearms and a quantity of ammunition in the fort, and placed in ambuscade behind the rampart kept up a sharp fire on Captain Leconte's company, which was still guarding the entrance' Captain Sasias, who arrived shortly after Lieutenan t Bouvier, wearied with finding his men dropping by a fire which they were not allowed to return, e t length gave the word to take aim at all the Zouave s who were seen with muskets, and this being done the fusillade soon became general. The forces or posed to the revolt were now augmented by a de tachment of the crew of the steam-corvette Roland , with a four-pounder, and by a body of artillery with two howitzers. In the meantime Capt. Lamarche, of the Var, penetrated into the midst of the Zouaves: and made endeavours to appease the rebellion. short pause ensued, after which the mutineers ma de another desperate rush at the gate, but were re pulsed by the troops. The officers felt that it W absolutely necessary to prevent at any cost th e violent irruption into the town of a set of men ill' furiated by drink and by the excitement of the con' test. Capt. Sasias therefore caused two pieces of artillery, hitherto kept masked, to be sudden b a r shown. The Zouaves were thus kept in awe, en. the captain was thus enabled to retire and make 1 1 . 1 . 4 report to the governor, leaving Capt. Leconte in his place. On his return he found the mutineer somewhat less violent, and he gave them to under stand that the governor's wish was that they sho ed surrender at once and unconditionally, unless th e y wished still more energetic measures to be taken' adding that the chief of the colony would come in person next day to ascertain the flcts and dictate his determination. From that moment order was re, established. On the 29th the governor, in cordance with what had been announced, Pr u itt ceeded to the fort and addressed the Zonavo emphatic language, declaring that their fate Ay thenceforth in the hands of Marshal Bazaine• loss of life in this deplorable affair has been e°' siderable. On the side off.the garrison there were l e 3 killed and 10 wounded, and on that of 0t.14,1 Zouaves, 16 killed and 37 wounded. The g ov e r e; permitted, at their request, about thirty et to Zouaves to accompany their deceased comrades ar _ the cemetery.
