MONETA.RY REPORTS.-YESTEIIDAY The stock markets opened with firmness to-day, owing to the belief which prevailed that an amicable settlement of the Russian question would be arrived at, while there is at the same time a growing hope that the return of peace on the Continent is not far distant. The cheapness of money and the reaction in the wheat market have also tended to create confidence in the future. A baseless rumour which became current pro duced a slight panie r in the middle of the day, but values soon recovered themselves, on the groundlessness of the statement—which was to the effect that an unfavourable answer had been received from Russia—becoming ap parent. The object with which these gross fabrications are' put into circulation is not difficult to discover Consols opened at 92 13-16, 92 15-16, and after being done at 92a, 92k, ultimately closed at 92k, 92i. Reduced and New Three per Cents. were 91t, 91k. India Five per Cents., 111, 1121 ; India Bonds, 21s. to 265. prem. Exchequer Bills, 10s. to 14s, prem. Colonial Government securities have remained quiet, and without important movement, throughout the day. Foreign bonds were favourably influenced by the news to hand, which is generally considered to point to an ami cable settlement of the points in dispute. Prices opened with steadiness, and rather above those current at the close of business yesterday, but a rapid fall took place on the rumour above referred to being circulated, and the decline' has not altogether recovered. The French Loan closed at to dis., shewing a reduction of 'Egyptian (1868) are 1 lower ; Mexican, Spanish I ; and ditto Quick silver Mortgage, 1; Turkish Five per Cents., 2 ; ditto, Six per Cents.

Erie railway shares closed at 19, 19k, and Illinois Central at 1101, 111 f, being a rise of 1 and f per cent respectiiely. Lombardo-Venetian left off at 14, 14/, and Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures at 34, 36. Other foreign lines were without material change. The transactions in -Joint Stock Bank shares have not been extensive, but prices have ruled firm throughout.

There was an abundant supily of money in the market to-day, while the quantity •of commercial paper afloat is still restricted within limits. Short dated paper with good names attached has been taken at 2/ to 20 per cent.,, Short Loans on English Government Securities have been obtainable at 1 per cent. The Magellan has arrived at Lisbon from the Brazils with £150,000, The Lagos, from the West Coast of Africh, has brought £4,290. The bullion operations on the Bank of England to-day, consisted of the withdrawal of £5,000 in sovereigns for transmission to Alexandria. At the annual meeting of the Chontales (Nicaragua) Mining Company, a committee of shareholders was ap-: pointed to confer with the board for the purpose of carry ing into effect a proposition for providing funds for paying off the debentures, and for more speedily opening out the extensive mines belonging to the Company. The Great Western Railway have given notice of application to Parliament, in the next session, for power to build, purchatie, hire anduse steam and other vessels, be tween any port or place where there is a station of the company and the Channel Islands, the ports of Cherbourg and St. Malo, and any other port on the south-eastern coast of Ireland; between Cork and Belfast, both in clusive ; also to empower the company to raise for those purposes further sums of money. At an extraordinary meeting of the Star and Garter Hotel Company, to be held to-morrow, it is proposed to pass a resolution that " The Company be wound up voluntarily, under the supervision of the Court of Chancery." At the meeting of shareholders of the West India and Panama Telegraph Company, the report of the directors was adopted. According to latest advices, the sections between Jamaica and the Isthmus of Darien was in course of submersion, and the Board are in daily expectation of learning that the cable has been landed. This being over, the extension through the West Indian colonies will immediately follow. The illoseold Gazette, of the Ist November, states : "In consequence of a direct steamboat communication between India, China, and Russia, via the Suez Canal, we hear that in the coming year a commission house is to be organised at Odessa by Messrs. Cazalet, a well-known St. Petersburg firm. The Odessa steamers will load at Bom bay (cotton, &c.) in January, and at Hankow (tea) in May, 1871. It is supposed that, as the railway tariff will be de creased, the through tate of cotton from Odessa to Moscow will be from 60 to 70 copecks per Russian pood. Although the South of Russia, 'rich in wool, has actually no cloth factories, nevertheless it is expected, should cotton rule cheaply at Odessa, cotton mills will be founded in that town. Besides standing in direct relations with the lead ing houses in India and China, it is reported to be the intention of the firm to introduce manufactured articles of Northern and Central Russia into more general use in Southern, or so-called New Russia, in lieu of foreign goods , " _ LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.- WEDNESDAY.

THE LEDBURY SCANDAL. The hearing of the case "Jackson v. Martin" was re sinned yesterday before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Sir John Karslake continued his address, reading from the affidavits of various witnesses to shew that the woman Parry had made admissions that the child of which she was the mother was not the Rev. Mr. Jackson's, but that she had determined to make him pay for it; also, that she had signed a paper on another occasion in which she admitted that the young man Jay, with whom she kept company, to as the father of the child. The learned counsel afterwards touched upon those portions of the affidavits which contained a denial of the slanders with reference to Mr. Jackson, the wit nesses to whom they were attributed, on examination by' the respondent's solicitor, entirely repudiating the state ments imputed to them. The learned counsel continued his arguments up to half-past four, o'clock, submitting finally that in this, as in other courts,• it should be shown that Parry made a statement of the alleged assault com knitted on her immediately after its occurenee, in order to substantiate the charge, which was not done. Under all the circumstances, therefore, he prayed their lordships to reverse the judgment of the Court of frliches. The further hearing of the case was again adjourned. THE EASTERN QUESTION. THE EXPEOTED REPLY FROM RUSSIA. The London Stock Exchange opened quietly yesterday, but an alarming panic took place shor.tly after nocn owing to the rumour that Prince Gorta ehakoft's reply had been received, and that its contents were not reassuring. We are enabled to state that the Government have not yet received a reply, nor do they expect one until Friday evening. There is reason to hope that when it does come its contents will not be of a nature to, rekindle apprehension.

Supplies of English wheat were small, but the condition of the samples4vas improved. The show of foreign was good. There was little inquiry for any descriptions, and sales could only be effected at a decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter. The more peaceful aspect. of the political situation has obviously contri- Jnited to check the upward Movement in values ; but the con tinuance of mild weather, and the expected arrival of a large number of graln-laden vessels off the coast, have induced great caution on the 'part of buyers. Barley wa.s in good supply. Choice qualities were taken off only to a limited eXtent: whilst inferior sorts were disposed of on rather easier terms. Malt was quiet, but not quotably cheaper. Oats, in consequence of the extensive supply, experienced a slow sale, at an occasional reduction of 6a. per quarter. Beans, peas, and maize were pur chased cautiouslt, and prices were with difficulty maintained. The Root trade ruled quiet, and Americas barrels in some in stances lost their late advance. Arrivals .

The tone of this market has further improved to-day, and producers are compelled to ask an advance.

Soldouly in tin-lined packets labelled—JAMES EPPS it; CO., Homoeopathic chemiats,Loudou.—Advt. THE CHARGE OF BABY FOISTING. David Hall and Mary Ann Hall were brought up at Bow-street Police-court. The female prisoner was last week committed for trial on the charge of endeavouring to foist a child on James Lot), and a fresh charge of murder • arose from the inquiries instituted by the police in reference to this charge. Mr. Poland prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury. The learned gentleman stated that since the last examination the cinders found in the • pits in the garden of the prisoner'i house had been submitted to - a chemist, who, although he had detected some animal matter, had found no . traces of human matter. The police had been unable to race the mothers of any children. and in the absence of testimony corroborating the statement of the servant girl, the Treasury has determined to pursue the charge no further. He, therefore, asked that the prisoners might be discharged. Mr. Lilly applied for a restora tion of the property taken from the prisoners' possession. Mr. Chance said he thought the property not necessary for substantiating the charge preferred by Mr. Loe should be restored. The police would exercise their discretion in this matter. Mr. Lilly said there had been a bank book found in the prisoners' posses sion which he also hoped to have given up. Mr. Poland said the savings bank - book in question with Rus sian railway and other stock __were ' found in an nld hat in the garden, 'and rdpresented £750 6s. id. This could have nothing to do with the charge and might be given up. His Worship said he would consult with the police about the matter. The prisoners might be discharged in reference to this case. The female prisoner was then formally committed to take her trial on the minor charge. The man was dis charged. LAW AND POLICE. A DANGEROUS FELLow.—Williara Oxbro, 29, a foot man, was brought up at the Westminster Police-court, charged with endeavouring to obtain by means of a false character, a situation with Mr. John FergUitOn, 4 9, Eaton place. Captain Ferguson, of the 2d Life 'Guards, said prisoner engaged himself this day week as a footman. He said he had served for two years with Mrs. Weld, of Gravesend, but at the present time was staying at the Norfolk Hotel, Brighton. Witness wrote there and received a written character two or three days after wards. The composition of the' Icltter attracted sus picion, and from the proprietor of the hotel, Mr. Legge he ascertained that no such person lived or had lived there, and Was not known to the writer. Witness had taken this up on public grounds alone in order that this system of fraud should be stopped, as so many robberies had been committed* of late in gentlemen's houses. Henry Giles, 287 B, warrant officer, proved apprehending the prisoner : he said he had lived with Mrs. Weld ; it was a bad job, he wished he had kept away ; he had been out of a situation a long while, and had no food, and did not know what to do, and thought he might as well have three months as be out of a situa tion. Several letters were found on him, purporting to be from gentlemen with whom he had lived; he had been in the service of Mrs. Callender, Ebury-street, and dis missed for drunkenness. Prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Woolrych severely animadverted on the gross conduct of the prisoner, and sentenced him to pay a fine of £2O, or three months' imprisonment. He waslocked TIIE TRAVELLING SHOWMEN AND . BEAR BAITING.—An application was made to Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough street Police-court, by Mr. Albert, the interpreter on behalf of Carl Hermann, a German . , who, with two others, was convicted at the Kingston Sessions for cruelty to a bear, to know whether a bear came within the mean ing of. the Act for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Young, an officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said the pristiners were appre hended on a warrant at the instance of Mr. Colam, the secretary of the Society, under the 3rd section of the Act, which says that any person who shall act in the manage ment or keep a place for the purpose of baiting bull, bear, badger, or any wild or domestic animal, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding £5. Mr. Knox, after looking at the Act, said a bear certainly came within the meaning of the 3rd section, which said any animal, wild or domestic. SERIOUS DAMAGE DY A DRUNKEN CABMAN.—John Edwin Gard, badge 9,999, was brought up at the above court, charged with being drunk and incapable, and breaking a pane of glass of the value of £B, the property of Messrs. Chappell and Co., music-publishers, 49, New Bond-street. Police-constable Brown, 20 C R, said that on the previous afternoon his attention was called to the prisoner, who was drunk, and who had backed his cab through a pane of glass in the shop window of Messrs. Chappell and Co. Mr. Henry Gawler, in the employ of Messrs. Chappell and Co., said the value of the pane of glass was gs, and that the prisoner was appa rently drunk. Mr. Henry Ward, cab proprietor, of Carlisle-mews, Edgware-road, said the prisoner was in his employ, and it was a singular circumstance, and one for which he could in no way account, but only three or four days ago he met with is similar accident, and that had not been settled for yet. He (Mr. Ward) considered it a serious matter, as he was responsible for damage done by a drunken driver. The previous damage was £5, and now it - was £B. Mr. Knox, after recommending Mr. Ward to discharge the prisoner from his employ, as he was a very unsafe one to be entrusted with a cab, fined the prisoner 10s. for being drunk, and ordered him to pay £8 for the damage, or, in default, two months' imprison ment. A. MAD lionsE.--A case of madness in a horse is reported from Huddersfield. The animal was first noticed to be unwell on Saturday week, and the following morning was pronounced rabid. The horse with his teeth tore out the manger, and shook it as a dog would shake a rat. Upon the recommendation of a veterinary surgeon the horse was shot. In a suit heard in the Irish Probate Court, to esta blish a will in which the testator had devised numerous sums to Roman Catholic clergymen and Roman Catholic institutions, it appeared that a medical man, who was one of the witnesses to the instrument, confessed that he had vainly endeavoured to make the testatrix, who was in a dying state, understand what she was required to do. He wrote her name, and took her hand and Made a mark. The will was condemned. THE MANCHESTER LADIES AND THE RELIEF OF THE SICK AND WOUNDED.—The Secretary of the Man chester Ladies' Committee for the Relief of the Sick and Wounded in the Franco-German War has received a letter, of which the following is a copy :—" Alice Cross Hospital, Darmstadt, Ist November.—Dr. Mayo presents his compliments to the Ladies' Committee of Manchester, and is happy to be able to inform them that their most useful and valuable present for this hospital has at length arrived quite safely. The beds have been arranged, and the Manchester wards will be filled with beds to-day or to-morrow. Her Royal Highness the Princess Alice was in the ward yesterday, and expressed her appreciation of the kindness of the people of Man chester. Her Majesty the Queen of Prussia and her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, when informed by Dr. Mayo of the gift, also expressed themselves strongly in the same sense." THE WORKING MEN AND THE RUSSIAN NOTE. —At a meeting of the officers of the Labour Representa tion League held on Tuesday evening at Cockspur street, Charing-cross—Mr. Robert M. Latham, the president, in the . ' chair —it was unanimously agreed that thir following resolution should be submitted for approval at a meeting of the League, to be held on Friday. It will be moved by the President, and second e d by Mr. Lloyd Jones :—"That we protest indignantly against the in sidious conduct of Russia, in complicity, as we cannot but believe, with Prussia, in attempting at the pre sent moment to further disturb the peace of Europe, by repudiating her treaty engagements entered into at the conclusion of the Crimean war ; and we call upon the British Government to give a prompt, well-con sidered, and determined opposition to this most nefarious attempt to . establish in Europe ii military mastership by nations essentially despotic in the constitution and spirit of their Governments. The working men of England, though sincere friends of peace, are not so •at the expense of European liberty, nor yet in the interest of conspiring despotisms seeking to aggrandise themselves at the ex pense of their weaker neighbours."

AUSTRIAN orINToN. In the Eastern. Budget of. Wednesday we read :—Count Beust's despatch in reply to the Russian circular is dated the 17th instant. He points out the groundlessness of i the reasons alleged by Prince Gortschakoff for the re pudiation by S Russia of her treaty engagements, and demonstrates in strong terms the ~heavy responsibility entailed upon Russia by her conduct. This is not the first time that Count Beust has had to read Prince Gortschakoff a lesson. During the Italian war, when Germany seemed disposed to take the side of Austria at the instigation of Saxony, Prince Gortschakoff sent an important despatch to Dresden, warning the German States not to interfere in European affairs. Count Beust's reply, dated the 15th of June, was very sharp and laconic, and it was pretty generally admitted at the time that Saxony had gained a complete diplomatic triumph over her huge antagonist. One of the Pall Mall GazeUe correspondents at Vienna writes :—That Prussia is secretly in accord with Russia in this step, Count Beust makes no scruple of declaring, indeed he has long since seen the meaning and intention of the mock anger of Prussia against England for her supposed favour to France in the present war—a mere " querello Allemana "by which, under the allegation of unfriendliness to Germany, Bismarck was able to excite a bad feeling toward England at the very moment when her magnificent benevolence might have conciliated the German people. All these were preliminary steps, all taken with due forethought, arid all necessary for what was to follow. The official Wiener Abendpast has 'twice denied that Austria is arming —an anxiety which seems to indicate the desire of the Government for peace. The Presse, one of the leading Austrian journals, thinks the neutralisation of the Black Sea of comparatively little importance. "We cannot suppose that Russia will again venture on the dance which cost Nicholas his life. We must, therefore, still maintain the opinion that Prince Gorts•;hakoff's note really intended only to get rid of the humiliating condi tions of the Paris Treaty, which deprived Russia of her most important rights of sovereignty over a portion of her own territory, and that it was due only to the national want of manners if this was done in a way of which a man would be ashamed in polite society, were it even in tended to be the prelude to a contest." Karl Blind writes an article in the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna, in'which he warns Germans against playing into the hands of Russia. "England has not done in this war that which, in a great measure, may be considered her own interest, and which, moreover, would have been regarded as a clear proof of friendship for Ger many. Are we, then, on that account, to do the Russians, in a new Eastern question, a - favour for which Germany would herself have to suffer in the end? A thought like this cannot arise in the head of a thinking politician. The polioy of petty revenge, of self-injury for the assuagement of wounded feelings, is no policy at all. If Germany does not mean to grow her policy exclusively in the sand of the Uckermark, she must take care not to allow the overgrown Muscovite Empire to assume once more a domineering position in the Orient. If all Germany stands together in this question, the Russian cloud, which at this moment is only as big as a man's hand, will soon dissolve. But if we hesitate, the resistance of the French will be prolonged, for they will hope that in consequence of the Russian demands a uni versal European complication will arise, in the course of which they think England would, by the peculiar intri cacy of the situation, gradually be drawn towards the side of France." PRUSSIAN OPINION. The Hamburg Correspondent, a German commercial paper, writes in an alarming tone—and, of course, very offensively against England. It declares as a positive fact that if war should break out Prussia will side with Russia, and then the remaining powers may as well be quiet. " Turkey alone is too weak and too heavily in debt to make any effectual resistance. France is paralysed for half a century at least. Italy is out of the question ; and thus England and Austria would have alone to bear the brunt of the struggle. Austria will certainly not stir without England, and Eng land will send note after note, ask for a Congress without success, make endless complaints at United Germany assisting Russia—and then, having talked herself out, do nothing at all." The Hamburg Correspondent once more talks about our breaches of neutrality, and concludes by declaring . that Russia has taken an important step towards extending her influence in the South-East. It is not merely neutralisation of the Black Sea she wants. FRENCH OPINION. The Siecle thinks that Lord Granville has clearly dis tinguished the character of the diplomatic art of Russia, which is most fortunate. The next thing will be for the Cabinet of St. James to understand that western Europe without France can do nothing. The English diplomatists must not be deceived by Count Bismarck, and allow him to carry out his manoeuvre of a secret alliance with St. Petersburg. it will be necessary that England should immediately restore to France her liberty of action. Russia has prevented all discussion, and if she does not withdraw before the energetic opposition of the English Cabinet, war will be inevitable. This European war must begin under the walls of Paris, and it will take England and France'rnany weeks to crush the farces of the only ally of Russia by the ramparts of the capital. The Turks could meanwhile stop the march of the Russian troops on Constantinople. They are quite capable of fighting behind entrenchments. There is scarcely a month left for fighting, but that will suffice if England comes to the aid of France. Let England decide quickly, and Russia will be checkmated, for she can never desire to engage in a contest with rich and powerful England and France, which is throughout in arms. The Patric thinks the English press is generally favour. able to an alliance with France, but that it is considered desirable for a regular Government to be established in France, with whom she can make terms of peace or of war. The Government of the National Defence must, therefore, form themselves into a regular Government at once, in order to conclude with England an alli ance which she greatly desires, and from which the French people may derive so much profit. The Salta Public says that Russia has chosen her time well, and sent her ultimatum to Europe at a moment when she thought France was at the mercy of the Prussians. People were slow to recognise that the French were the pivots of public order in Europe, and did not scruple to say that Prussia only inflicted a just blow on France for her frivolous pretensions. Nothing lest; than the thunderclap which Gortschakoff has sent from the Russian Cabinet could have roused the nations from their torper and indifference. The Eastern question is one of life or death for England, and Austria and Italy are greatly concerned in it. Prussia and Russia have long devised this scheme, and divided the old world be tween them— one will take the East and the other the West. It will be incumbent on France to renew the struggle with Prussia with all her might in order to defeat the designs of Russia and her ally The Constitutionnel believes that the guaranteeing powers to the Treaty of Paris have only one thing to do, which is to bring the question back again into diplomatic nego tiations, so that Russia may obtain from the consent of the Powers what the note of Prince Gortschakoff wished to take by the sole authority of the Emperor Alexander. RUSSIAN CRUISERS IN TILE BOSPIIORUS.—The Standard's correspondent at Constantinople, under date November 12, says :—A couple of Russian corvettes en tered the Bosphorus, from Odessa, the day before yester day, and cast anchor immediately opposite the Sultan's palace at Dolund-Bagtkihe. No end of rumours at once got abroad, and were as quicldy dispersed by the sudden apparition of flights of Russian officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, occasionally attended by priests, riding helter-skelter about all parts of the capital. The corvettes are training ships, and have a large number of naval cadets on board, the object probably being to inure them to sea-eieluiess during a cruise in the Mediterranean. The . usual courtesies have been exchanged by the Turkish naval authorities with their visitors ; everything bears a most peaceful, and even a polite appearance; but this has not prevented people from saying that these two ships form only the thin end of the Muscovite wedge which is destined soon to ravel up all the obstacles presented to an advance upon Constantinople. It is even added that Russia demanded that seven other war vessels should be allowed to pass the Straits, although by the Treaty of 1856 she was only allowed to keep half-a-dozen corvettes in the Black Sea. This is only another indication of the uneasy feeling 13re vailing here on this question, to which I have more than once recently alluded. It is hazardous to predict anything but it is a fact that the Russians have a much larger fleet than is generally suspected in the Euxine, while the number of the steamers at their com mand would suffice to transport a larke expedition at a very short notice to a spot inconveniently close to Con stantinople. THE WAR. THE CAMPAIGN AROUND PARIS. IN SEARCiI OF AN ARMY. The whereabouts of the Loire army is " one of the most open questions of modern times." No English correspon dent can get near it ; the French are not allowed to say anything, if they know anything, about it. The Germans themselves profess that it is extremely difficult to find this force, which, however, everybody agrees in repre senting as strong in numbers, well equipped, and admir ably disciplined. Herr Wachenhusen, of the Cologne Gazette. says the Army of the Loire has marched northwards, in the direction of Rouen. This, he observes, shews that it has a skilful gene ral, who probably designs to co-operate with Mont Valdrien somewhere in the direction of St. Germain. Rapidity of movement seems to be their great object. The Germans had not succeeded south of Paris even in getting a skir mish. The small town of Anneau, near Chartres, which had been occupied by the Germans, had been punished with a fine for its connection with the surprise at Ablis. The Francs-tirenrs, according to the hotel-keeper, entered the town at two o'clock one morning with sixty captured Prussian cavalry soldiers, and wished to establish themselves there ; but, being refused any countenance by the inhabitants, who were fearful of the consequences, they retired, just as the Prussians entered. The latter searched every house, but only found and shot five of the band. The recapture of Orleans is held by the French as a splendid victory, and in the villages all capable of bearing arms have hastenedto join the army. Only graybeards, women, and children are now to be found in the wretched villages of the Loiret, and these are so destitute that they only live on what the German soldiers give them out of their rations of meat and bread. Even the bitter-off families in the towns and the country have for weeks been glad to have officers quartered upon them, for the officers are obliged to feed the inmates as well as themselves, and do so as soon as the ox is slaughtered and the carcase divided. Writing on the 16th from Epernon, the same correspon dent refers to the incessant marches which the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg's division has executed in order to frustrate the - enemy's plans. These movements, if they have not ensnared the enemy, have at least blocked his way to Versailles. The Versailles correspondent of the Independance Beige writes thus on this great question t " The Army of the Loire seems to have moved directly from Coulmiers, by Chateaudun, northwards, in. order to join the army of Bourbaki, and make with these united forces an attack upon Versailles or Paris. Cautious people had already packed up for any chance, without considering that between ourselves and the enemy we have an army of 100,000 men—more than sufficient to bar the road to Paris. The advanced guard of the Army of the Loire was near Dreux yesterday, and on his side the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg had already pushed forward his outposts towards the same position. The Army of the North; under tFe command of Bourbaki, could not form a junction with that of the Loire by any open road, because the corps of General Manteuffel sepa rates them, and he has announced that he has perceived the approach of the enemy near Gisors. Admitting the very improbable case that the Army of the Loire should succeed in cutting its way through the army of the Grand Duke, and in advancing in the direction of Paris, the cordon would at once close round it; it would be sur rounded on all sides, and we should have a repetition of the disaster of Sedan." A LOST OPPORTUNITY. The Germans have been very anxious during the last few days, but, according to reports from headquarters, they are now reassured. The danger is past. The Times correspondent says that the French have withdrawn from Dreux. and lost a chance. The Germans were puzzled to understand the composition of the army which suddenly appeared on the line of the Eure. " Was it the Army of the Loire, which had evaded the combined forces of the Duke of Mecklenburg and Von der Tann ? If so, it was evident that the Crown Prince was threatened, and that he would have to move out and give battle. But if the Paris garrison made a grand sortie at the same moment it became a matter of doubt whether the Germans could hold their own on the high plateaux which now give them such mastery. The Prince certainly could not take off 80,000 men without leaving a very thin line of circumval lation. The Grand Duke might be cut off from his com munications. If, on the other hand, the force which had been felt at Dreux and seen in front of Mantes were a new army, it might be that Bourbaki had by forced marches got out of Manteuff el's reach, and RAM striking out to join Aurelles de Paladine—in which case the Grand Duke might be overwhelmed and a serious offensive movement commenced to check Prince Frederick Charles and to isolate him from the army of the Crown Prince. But whatever it was, the army, which is believed to have been composed of li6ratry's levies, has gone back, and at the same time, the force which fell on Von der Tann and precipitated the evacuation of Orleans very rudely has vanished from Theury. Manteuffel has been heard of not far from Amiens. Prinoe Frederick Charles has made good his communication with the Crown Prince's army, and both are en rapport with the army of the Duke of Mecklenburg. A sufficient force has been concentrated towards Dreux and Mantes to secure the Crown Prince's lines from attack. The French have lost a great opportunity, and in war as in other matters the golden moments once neglected do not return." THE GERMAN DEFEAT AT CHATILLON. From the full details which have been received at. Tours of the victory obtained by Ricciotti Garibaldi at ChAtillon, it appears that the Garibaldian force was composed of 400 men from various companies, and that they attacked Chanlon at six o'clock in the morning. The place was 'occupied by 750 Germans, who were expecting reinforce ments 1,400 strong that very day. The Germans were re pulsed, leaving 120 killed, among whom were two colonels and one major, as well as 167 prisoners, ten of whom were officers ; 62 horses and four ammunition waggons were also captured. The losses on the French side were four killed and twelve wounded. GETTING INTO PARIS. To pass from the exterior through the German lines into Paris is a feat.so difficult that only one instance of it fs known. His adventures are described in the Journal des Debals. On Saturday, the lath of October, one of the couriers charged with taking letters to the provinces and bringing back replies, managed by crawling along on all fours to pass the Prussian posts established between Stains and Dugny. His destination was Amiens, and he made for this town by almost invariably following the line of the northern Railway. He arrived at Amiens in safety, and on Monday, the 24th, set out again. He arrived without any noteworthy incidents at Louvres, where the Prussians have a park of artillery, about 1,400 men, and as many horses. After several useless attempts on the 26th, 27th, and 28th to force the Prussian lines, he decided on the 29th at all risks to enter Paris. Having left Louvres, he arrived at Goussainville, and, there met the ambulance carts which the Prussians were sending out of Pierrefitte and Gonesse as a measure of precaution. It was the day of the occupa tion of Le Bourget by the French troops. On the 30th he was perceived at Moulinneuf, between Stains and Dugny, at about half-past six in the morning, by two Prussian sentinels who called to him and told him to stop. Without calculating the danger to which he was exposing himself, for he could not swim, our courier threw himself into the little river Rouillon and hid himself in the water up to his neck. He remained thus an hour and a half, during which time one of the two Prussians sought for him everywhere, poking among the weeds with a pole and endeavouring even to pass the river on a plank, which was happily too short, while the other with loaded gun kept watch at the point where he had disappeared. At length the two Prussians, doubtlessthinking him drowned, gave up their search and went away. He then quitted his hiding place, struggled through the artichokes and crossed two other streams, after which he threw himself without hesitation into the marshes between Le Bourget and La Courneuve, knee-deep in water. Having crossed the rail road from Paris to Soissons and passed over the Plaine des Vertus, wet to the skin, shivering with cold, harassed with fatigue and excitement, he at length sue. ceeded in entering Paris by the Porte de Flandre. A letter from Bitsche to the Frankfort Journal states that the commanders on both sides have agreed to suspend hostilities in and about that fortress. The North German Consul of Rio Grande del Sol sends word that in a naval combat between a German frigate and two French gun-boats, the latter were de feated. An intercepted Paris letter says that the entire press, the Jacobin organs of course excepted, are unanimously demanding the convention of a Constituent Assembly. The Government has entered on the consideration of the question, but is divided. The Tours correspondent of the Standard says the difference in the training and conduct of the French troops is surprising. " There is 10) longer that' neglect of the military salute of soldiers to their officers which so Much struck ino upon my lit arrival . here. 1 have not seen a drunken soldier in the streets for upwards of month. As I see them standing about in the stage ]) yard, with their arms piled, waiting for a train—waiti n g , perhaps, for three or four hours—the difference is st ill more strikirig. Never, indeed, at any time do I remember to have seen French troops so quiet, so steady, and gO generally well behaved as they are now." It is said that after the evacuation of Dijon there wa s found in the room of a Prussian officer of high rank a list of the contributions to be imposed on Lyons when cW tured, which amounted to 400 million francs. This new; has greatly increased the spirit of resistance at Lyons, and the depression which followed Sedan is no longer visible. A young man Who would not join the army would be scouted. The Allyeineinc Zeitung says :—" At Baden an incident has made a great sensation. The Duchess of Hamilton, daughter of the late Grand Duchess Stephanie, and there; fore related to Napoleon, had hitherto been a member el the ladies' society for the relief of the wounded. Since her last visit to Wilhelmsiihe she has seceded from the society' and withdrawn her subscription irom it. She never made' indeed, any secret of her French sympathies, and sh e diligently supplied the French wounded in the b° s ' pit6ls with French newspapers, but people scarcely eN - ' pected such conduct on the part of the offspring of 3 German princely house." The correspondents find it impossible to get near the army of the Loire. One of them says :—" I have bon over to Orleans to-day and tried to get to the front, the brass 'upon my visage being my only passport ; but barely three miles outside the town I was encountered by patrol, who politely reconducted me, with a quiet ado,' nition to get out of Orleang within twelve hours." The military authorities in the district have given warning that any 'newspaper correspondent giving any informati on as to the strength or whereabouts of the French army w ill be tried by court-martial as in collusion with the enenlY which, of course, means a pleasant excursion to the chain?, de manoeuvre at daybreak, accompanied by a corporal twelve men. The Bavarians pay great attention to the material siii‘ 3 of life, and with their anxiety for the menage they are a terror to the French peasant. In a village lies, perhaPlo already a battalion of North German troops. All is still and quiet in the peasants' cottages. The soldiers ar e polishing their boots, stand in the open kitchens, and was h their shirts, or peel their potatoes. A Bavarian coition' comes along the road, and suddenly there is a great cony motion in the village. The hens cackle, the cocks Cu ll ' the ducks and geese cry out for help. A few minut e !, afterwards all is again still, but no cock crows, no d uck quacks any more. The inhabitants wring their hands over the cut-off heads of their fowls, which the column ila! left behind. "All hope abandon," I exclaim whenever .1 come through a village in which I see the Bavarians cantoned. Their philosophy, however, is the right ouel, and I expressly guard myself against the suspicion 01 meaning any disparagement. The Bavarians are th,e, true war philosophers. "A la guerre comme ala guerf.. 6 People should not begin a war if they do not like its 416 ' advantages. German Correspondent.

GERMAN VOICE FOIL PEACES—The Tagespress c of Frankfort has protested against the manner in whic h Prussia has prosecuted the war in France. It is iadig' nant at the reports which have been made concerning the sentiments of the inhabitants of Frankfort. It admits that at first they were led astray by the represent ir 'dons of the promoters of the war, and sent their sons readily to defend the threatened soil of Germany' It complains that no stop is put to the carnage, even aft er the incontestable superiority of the German arms 1 135 been shewn, and no possible apprehension can be enter tained of Germany ever being invaded by France. declares the opinion prevails throughout Germany, , 4 " even in Prussia, that the Spanish intrigue was desig n 7, for the purpose of bringing about this war, which apP e r, to be the continuation of the criminal act of 18 0 ?.: The abuse which has been made of the power of t hen defensive forces by the German military authorities b given rise to great indignation in many quarters.
