FONVIELLE, with a solemnity of utterance, that at the close of it, elicited shouts of laughter, " For my own part I bad never tasted any horse before the siege, and I can swear on my word of honour that after the siege I will eat horse very often ! " Reading the record of 'this assemblage at the Cannon-street Hotel, we cannot but regret that it was ever holden. Reading, too, the report of tho speech delivered at it by M. FONVIIILLE, we cannot, most certainly, but . regret, for his own sake, that it was ever delivered. It was a wind bag, that after all, however, was, perhaps, only the natural out-come of ballooning. TOPICS OF THE DAY. TIIE NAVAL DUEL OFF HAI3ANA. Details of the naval duel off Habana have come to hand. On the night of Tuesday, November the Bth, the Bouvet, a French war steamer, carrying five guns, left the port, and waited for the Prussian war steamer Meteor, carrying three guns. The latter, at the expiration of the prescribed twenty-four hours, followed the Bouvet, and a duel which had been arreinged between the officers of the two vessels, commenced. The Bouvet opened with five shots,. and the Meteor quickly returned them. The Bouvet, which carried a larger crew than her antagonist, made an unsuc cesful attempt to board the Meteor. Her rigging became entangled, and her main and mizen-masts were carried away. The Meteor seat a shell into the French vessel, smashing her steampipe. The . screw of the Meteor becoming disabled she became unmanageable. The Bouvet, finding her position critical and needlessly fearing capture, sailed away, her antagonist firing the meanwhile. This victory caused great excitement in Habana, and the German merchants intend entertaining the officers of the Meteor. at a grand banquet. The German loss was three killed and one wounded. The Bouvet had only three wounded. E GYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY. Commencing MONDAY, November 28.

A FRENCHMAN, homme de lettres, redacteur, patriot, what not, soars out of beleaguered Paris in a balloon, lands on our shores, enters this City of London, and finding himself one day face to face with a crowd of people assembled together in the Cannon-street Hotel, for the purpose of what is called a Peace Con ference, incontinently addresses himself to that gathering of Englishmen. M. FONVIELLE is the Parisian journalist we are here alluding to. The speech thus made by him was delivered as recently as on last Monday afternoon. It was addressed to a meeting called together, as the housemaids say, promiscuously- 7 -no one knows by whom or for what precise purpose. In the chair was Mr. MERRIMAN. Among the notabilities immediately around the chairman was County Court Judge BEALES, M.A. There were resolutions and there were amendments• There was the utmost harmony and discord in the proceedings. Harmony was the most effec tively represented by Dr. CHARLES MACKAY, the popular lyrical poet, a charming song writer, who sets his words to a music of their own, and who showed his skill in doing so on Monday afternoon, even in the manner in which he worded his resolu tion. Discord, on the other hand, was by far the most effectively represented upon the occasion by Mr. CEEMER, the working men's advocate. Catcalls tumult, cries of " Turn him out," "Sit down," appeals to him from the chair, appeals to the chair from dissentients in the meeting who were desirous of having the obnoxious oration suppressed, and that summarily—inci.lente of this character preceded not inappropyiately the 41141 bringing to the fore of the, French gentleman already referred to as having been recently ballooned from Paris on his way to London. M. FONVIELLE spoke, and the hubbub was hushed. M. FONVIELLE continued speaking, and applause gave way to a burst of laughter. M. FONVIELLE finished his address, anti 10, he had already contrived, while speaking, to half empty the room, like the indifferent parish organist who pushed HANDEL from his stool saying " Bah ! you don't know in the least how to play out the congregation." M. Fox- VIELLE had spoken when he bad far better have held his tongue. His address throughout was a violation of good taste; it was a derogation of self respect; it was ',in many ways an insult to his hearers' understandings. Throughout it he raved against the late Imperial ruler of Franco—now prownless, now dethroned, now swallowed up and swept away by a very tornado of misfortunes— M, FONVEILLE spoke of him, or rather snarled at him through his teeth, all the most brutal epithets he could lay his tongue to. " Bloody tyrant," "Murderer," such and such-like were his emphemistic utterances. Al. FON VEILLE, as is the way with all his con geners, being utterly blind to the fact that in being thus scurrile to the Emperor NAPoLEoN.III. they are scurrile to the last degree to the nati( nwhO picked him out for their ruler, who selected him by acclamation in preference to men like CAVAIGNAC and LAMAR TIzIE ; who confirmed him again and again in power by 5,0,0QQ, by 0,00,900, by 7,000,000, by nearly i ()00,00Q votes; who covered him with their adula tion during a Prosidency of two or three years' duration and a reign as Emperor of eigh!een years altogether; who were ready to lick the dust from his feet during all those years, while he was yet prosperous, but who revile him and cover him with infamies in the hour of his supreme misfortune. Appeals for our sympathy, such as these, simply alienate the feelings of the great mass of Englishmen. It is our prejudice to nave 4 dislike for kicking a man when he is down, or for standing by complacently while he is being . kicked. Added to which, in the present instance, the Emperor NAPOLEON 111., whatever else may be said of him has been the true and firm and con sistent and untiring friend and ally of England from the hour of his first elevation to power as Chief of the State in France to the moment when upwards of twenty-one years afterwards, power slipped from his hitherto strong grasp, and was rolled in dust and blood upon the foughten field of Sedan on the opening days of this last September. Returning to M Vortintg4,E, however, the excited and recalcitrant, what is it that we find in the midst of his address on Monday afternoon, but as vivid a realization as we ever re member to have lit upon of the literal significance of • one of the most famous mots of the Great NAPOLEON —his saying, that is, about there being but one step from the sublime to the ridiculous. M. FONVIELLE was discanting at the moment upon the peculiarities observable in the present sufficiently appalling situation of Paris . ; upon the gathering together of the strength and skill of the Parisians for one last supreme effort at their own deliverance ; upon the straights they are driven to for food, causing them to devour rats and mice, and cats and dogs and r MIN G05NE1,14 ancl C(),'S CHERRY fj TOOTH PASTE is greatly suportiv to g,n7 tagtil ppfder; gives the teeth a pearl whiteness, protects the enamel froi.h oeecty, and imparts a pleasant fragrance to the breath.

If there were a possibility of prolonging the siege of Paris for another six months, there can scarcely be a doubt but that perfection in the construction of balloons would be accomplished. The system of balloons recommended recently by the Academy of Science, is about to be put to the test, and the Government has granted forty thousand francs towards defraying the expense. A large balloon is now being con structed at Lyons, which will convey from 15 to 20 passengers in its basket, and the hope is even indulged in by some sanguine persons that ultimately accommodation may be provided in huge aerial cars for the transportation of military reinforcements. THE FRANC-T[IIEI:MS. It is said that almost as much nonsense is being written about the Franc-tireurs in the German papers now as was formerly published respecting the Uhlans in the French journals. The men are neither savages nor assassins, we are assured, but they are bound to remain non-regular troops, as the system of supplies necessary for linesmen could not by any possibility be secured to them. This is with respect to the generality of Freeshooters, for as a matter of fact many of the men have joined the recog nised regiments of the army. The only uniform of the Franc-tireur proper is a military - cap, which, can be substituted for one of ordinary wear at a moment's notice. The men are most nume rous in the Vosges, although they are of late springing up everywhere. A. correspondent whose letters can be relied upon says these irregular warriors are men who, no doubt, feel much more at home in a cafe than in a campaign, but who, whatever other faults they may have, are certainly not the kind of persons likely to commit the acts of violence and rapine with which the Francs-tireurs are credited by the German and other papers. WASTE OF POWDER. Count Bismarck recently alluded to the " extra ordinary and incomprehensible " firing of the forts around Paris as an unaccountable waste of powder. If some statements in "Surgical Notes of the Gallo German War by a Student" are correct, the firing is neither extraordinary nor incomprehensible. Some of the forts inflict great injury. During the sortie of October 21st the guns of Mont Valerien committed "fearful devastation." Dr. Cormack also suggests that the firing is not unaccount able :—" Montretout is invaluable to the Prus sians ; but as it is within range of the fire of Mont Valerien, it is not permanently tenable by them. Though Mont Valtsrien has several times de stroyed the Prussian batteries at Montretout, the French have never been able to dislodge them per manently. This arises from a crest of wooded hill intercepting the view of Montretout from the fort of Mont Valdrien. They have to fire over this crest, and can only from other points learn the result of their fire. The bearings are now so accurately ascer tained that the Mont Val6rien artillery is always able by six or eight shots to destroy the Prussian batteries and send the Prussians skedaddling from the best part of the position." VIRTUE IN PARIS. There is more matrimony in Paris than General Trochu ever dreamt of. Most people thought that the Parisians cared very little for the holy estate; but the siege has revealed to us all the grossness of that delusion. General Trochu lately called upon the National Guards to volunteer for active service, and as they did not volunteer, he decreed a conscription to include—first of all, bachelors, next widowers without children, next married men without children, and so on, leaving " fathers of families" to the last. It is wonderful how many unforeseen married c)uples this decree has discovered ; still more remarkably countless are the "fathers of families." A good many have quietly asserted that although bachelors they are still "fathers of families," and must enjoy all the privileges appertaining to that position. It is ex pected that the latter class will hardly escape. What with stout young men who mount the rod cross, as tenders of the sick, and those who plead family cares, the siege has disclosed a pitiful amount of abject cowardice. THE PRUSSIAN ELECTIONS. The late Prussian elections have not, as was gene rally believed in England, given the Government a greater majority than it possessed in the former Par liament. The Liberal party has altogether gained about fifteen seats, while only 41 seats -are occupied by the ultramontane party, i.e., the partisans of the Catholic Church, who will certainly go as often against as with the Protestant Government of Prussia. The extreme left, viz., the Progressist party, have lost a few seats, probably not more than three. Nearly the whole increase of the National Liberal pity and the Pltramontanes, therefore, have come from the Conservatives and the Tarticularists, the former being generally for, the latter mostly against, Government. The Conservatives are the chief support of the Government, and they have been weakened ; the National Liberals are a moderate opposition, and they are now stronger than before. The result is important, as chewing that the great victories of the war have not hitherto caused a Iodic:1 against liberal principles; though it is at the same time true that the National Liberals have fol lowed Bismarck pretty closely of late. M. DROUYN DE LHUYS. M. Drouyn de Lhuys, formerly French Foreign Alinister, and an old servant of the Empire, com plains of false statements respecting his conduct whilst a resident in Jersey. Ho has not, he savt, entered into any Bonapartist conspiracies; but has, on the contrary, lived in perfect obscurity. "I have not had the opportunity of pronouncing my adhesion to the Government, although no one desires more ardently than I that it should succeed in its task. On my entry into political life many years ago I laid it down as my rule before all things to serve my country and to adopt loyally the regime that its free will has chosen." This is creditable, and it would have been well if certain ether late servants of the Empire had preferred their country to their own interests during the present war. M. Drouyn de Lhuys has been 6ne of the most respectable Imperialist followers, Ile took no part ' in the coup d'etat, though he made no great diffi culty of that shameful event. It is affirmed, too, that it is not he, but his master, who is responsible for the blunders with Pruisia. ARMY DISORGANISATION. A letter in a London paper flatly denies that the cadres .of British regiments are as complete as stated by the Secretary of State for War. Ho says that the first thing which strikes one on seeing a crack regiment on parade is the paucity of the men. Six companies, of fifteen file each, is all that can be mustered, the total being 192 men; not three fourths of a Prussian company. Of these at least thirty are medically unfit to undergo the rigours of a campaign, thirty more might pass the surgeon, but the first hardship would send them helpless to the rear. In armament, too, we fall far short of perfection. He would be a bold man indeed, says the writer, who would tell the British soldier that the Snider is not the arm of arms; yet the Government has not bought up the patent. The result is that the Turks adopt it as a temporary weapon, and the Dutch for the last class of their reserves. The greater part of the ammunition supplied from Woolwich is defective and of little use at_ a greater range than 500 yards. The equipnunt of the soldier is such as to render rapid marching impossible ; the medical staff' is insufficient ; and no corps has been trained as bearers of the wounded. Very few of the artillery bat teries are fully manned or equipped. Nearly all lack half of their complement of men and horses. A tolerably complete indictment this. MISS BURDETT COUTTS ON SCHOOL BOARDS. Miss Burdett Coutts has replied to the request of the Tower Hamlets Conservative Association that she would allow herself to be nominated to a seat on the Metropolitan School Board. Her letter mildly rebukes the pretensions of " strong-minded" women. Miss Coutts is convinced that the presence of women at school boards, just now at all events, would simply interfere with the discussions of such bodies. She points out that for some time the boards will have simply to deal with questions connected with administration, admitting of no assistance from the ladies. At the same time, however much she might regret the election of women to school boards, Miss Coutts is of opinion that their experience might be of service in considering- matters pertaining to girls' schools. Formed into sub-committees for this pur pose the :ladies would. form valuable auxiliaries to the boards, whilst they would be relieved from the unsuitable position an election would involve them in. THE ROYAL MARRIAGE. We are, of course, all rejoiced that the Princess Louise is about to marry a handsome young Scotch man, but our rejoicing just at present has its alloy. Why is it thought necessary that the world should be enlightened as to the whole history of the clan Campbell ? This evening the Scotch clubs in Lon don are to celebrate St. Andrew's Day, and we are told that for days past the orators who are to deliver addresses have been burning the midnight oil and driving frantic the librarian of the British Museum in their anxious researches concerning the history of all the MacCallums who have flourished since the flood. Many, no doubt, will hesitate to buy Thurs day morning's papers on this account, believing that one really can have too much of a good thing. The worst trial, however, at the present time is a musical one. There has been a royal entry of bagpipers into England, the chief rendezvous being the metro polis. Hundreds of men, who never had a taste for this particular instrument, and who never knew they could learn music at all, have suddenly adopted the pipes, and the inhabitants of many quiet streets are driven half mad. Several pipers have improvised airs totally their own composition in the vain hope of producing a Lorne quickstep, or a brilliant ver sion of what must be entitled 46 The Campbells are come." THE HULL WORKING MEN'S' EXHIBITION. The promoters of the working men's Art and Industrial Exhibition at Hull are in a fix. The execu tive asked the newly elected mayor to request the mayoress to distribute the awards to the successful competitors, or to perform that ceremony himself. The chief magistrate, however, has bluntly refused the request of the working men, alleging as an excuse that latterly the exhibition had been con ducted after the fashion of a music hall. This is an undeniable fact, but the committee plead that the unsatisfactory condition of the finances left them no alternative but to resort to the objectionable expedient of attracting the public to the exhibition by the engagement of vocalists, in order to avert pecuniary embarrassment. The conduct of the exe cutive has been denounced by ether prominent men of the town, and the consequence is that as yet no suffi cient personage can be found to perform the ceremony of closing the building. This disunion is all the more to be regretted seeing the unanimity which pervaded all classes during the early history of the exhibi tion. THE TIPPERARY MURDER. Great sensation has been created by the recent murder in Tipperary, as the victim was of a different class from tilos 3 generally selected. It is thought that the Ribbonmen are detemined to try terrifying the lower orders as being more susceptible of fear than the gentry, and they consequently hope to deter them from carrying out orders. Patrick Lonergan, the murdered man, Was 4 very orderly and industrious character, and had been caretaker on the property of Colonel the Hon. and Lady Margaret Charteris for many years. He attended Cahir on Friday, on business, and started for , home being quite • sober, at about five p.m. He was last seen conscious within half a mile of the town, near the house of a man named Egan. Three hours later he was found insensible in a fiel f close by the high road, bearing traces of terrible injuries about the head. He died about twenty minutes after, without recovering consciousness. A spirit bottle was found near him, 40 his pockets had been rifled, but it is univerally believed that robbery was not the motive of the crime. Lonergan believed his life in danger, as he had in curred the enmity of some persons against whom he had given evidence in an assault suit. The police remained on the spot all night, and two arrests were made on suspicion. Singularly enough, the uncle of Lonergan was murdered twenty years ago on account of a dispute. RETIRING FROM BUSINESS. Mr. Calcraft is aboutrto retire from the post which be has occupied so many years, with so much credit to himself and benefit to the nation. The public has long concluded that it is time for this servant to enjoy his otium earn dignitate. He has bungled a good deal of late, has done some unskilful jobs, and altogether is not the man he was. Time makes inroads upon the most polished perfec tion. Some surprise has been expressed that Mr. Calcraft has asked for a superannuation. This is scarcely fair, for it is obvious that thedifficulties lathe way of a retired hangman getting fresh occupation are more than usually serious. Nobody would like to see Mr. Calcraft reduced to such straits as to be tempted to try his skill upon himself. The question of a successor will probably .occupy the attention of the proper set of authorities, but we remember that when volunteers have been required tJ take a turn now and then the application s have been plentiful, including the gentleman whose training in a pious family was deemed'a high qualification. •On the whole, therefore, there sows no reason to fear that this important branch of trade will fall off: NEW ZEALAND PROSPERING. The prospects of New Zealand are happily alto gether different from what they were a few inontb 9 ago. The close of the Parliamentary session left the Ministers with a definite scheme for the improvenioet of the colony, it . is proposed to execute Publ ic works at an outlay of eight millions, and to invests million and a half in immigration. To meet this out lay a loan of four millions is to be raised, and th e appropriation. of the waste lands is to be l l ) with the rest. The space of ten Yea r 3 is allowed for the fulfilment of the scheme and sanguine hopes are entertained of its success, provided a general European war does not interfere with the loan. The construction of public works will afford useful employment to the natives. Th e friendly natives are eager for work. A great meet' ing of natives, loyal and disloyal, has been held to the south of Taranaki. Nearly 2,000 Maories Wer e present, and there was consequently not a little e s ' citement in the settlement. A Governmen t war ship was sent to cruise off the coast meanwhile, but all passed off peacefully. Parris, the Commissioner, was present, and had all animated battle of words with Titolcowaru, who sud denly burst into the meeting with eighty followers , all well armed. Mr. Parris shewed no fear, but talked the rebel down, and he declared his willingness to let the English alone if they would let him alone. Te Kooti is still a fugitive, and his adherents are greatly reduced. His strongholds are broken up and he is no longer formidable. Fofthe first time for tell j years native topics scarcely occupied an hour of the j late session of the Colonial Parliament. s p, - - 4 7 5, s ...„, ' , ,ti.:' )1. i';',. , :- 5., --- , - • - v.r .. .,.,—.-- , 0. • ~,, , tto liAtd 5, zi5c . .." 1 U I I , THE SITUATION IN CHINA. The Overland China Mail says that Ile r Majesty's consul at Canton, Mr. Robertson , recently received a communication from th e members of the Foreign Community calling atten tion to the precarious position in which they were placed. They expresso' their conviction that a grow ing animosity had existed towards foreigners ever since the outrage at Tientsin. Mr. Robertson, lo reply, considered their fears were groundless. li e had been in communication with the Chinese autho rities, who assured him they would main' tain c,rder among the people, and promised to issue a proclamation on the subject. Mr. Robertson thought the less notice given to these reports the better, because the Chinese would be apt to take advantage if they t ;lought foreigners Were becoming nervous. Shanghaa papers up to the 11th of October stated that matters looked unsatisfactory at Tientsin, and it was much to be regretted that the foreign Ministers had not dealt more severely with the guilty parties, and thus prevented the com plications which have since arisen. It will be remem bered, however, that a telegram has since been received from Mr. Wade expressing the opinion that troops will not be required in any part of the country. THI SOCIAL CONDITION OF Ro3IE. The state of Rome, as described by a correspon" dent in that city, is still far from satisfactory. The Papal party strongly resent the confiscation of the religious foundations and the secularisation of the public educational establishments. The Republicans/ or rather the rioters, keep the city in constant agita tion. They organise armed processions and march about shouting, " Death t) the Pope I Death to the priests 1" Nothing comes of these demonstrations, but great alarm is caused to timid persons. The Pope's new Encyclical has just reached Rome through the Geneva press, as it could not be printed anywhere in Italy. It has made a great sensation, as it renews all the censures of the Church, and the major ex communication launched in 1860, against all who took part in the invasion or occupation of the States of the-Church, or approved or assisted, by word or deed, either the present or former annexations. The address to be voted on the meeting of the Chamber will demand the immediate transfer of the capital to Rome, and the complete application of the laws of Italy to the States of the Church. It is probable this will be carried without discussion, as all the Catholic candidates have de clined to present themselves for re-election. The King is to be in Rome on New Year's Day, and will be accompanied by Prince Humbert, who will re main as his father's representative. General La Marmora will then resign his command, and resume his functions as Minister of War. • Sri s . „ (1J zurt . tlttithr HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 29. Tho Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, drove out this morning. Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice also went:out. Earl and Countess Granville, Lady Churchill, and the Marquis of Lorne dined with the Queen. The Right Hon.W. E. Gladstone remains at the Castle. THE LONDON SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION. The polling for the forty-nine persons who are to com pose the first London School Board began at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. At eight at night the inspectors began their work of going through the numbers. When the inspectors have agreed, they will certify-to the presi dents at the polling places, who in turn will certify to the deputy returning officers, and they in their turn will re port to the returning officer, Mr. Russell Gurney. The only difficulty which arose was by reason of voters going to the wrong polling places. The compartments in which the voting papers were filled in were set so that no one could overlook the writer, and as soon as the paper was filled in it was folded and placed in the ballot box, which was placed in front of the presi dent of the polling. The voting papers are not exactly in the official form, inasmuch as there is a column on the left where the number of voters is placed. This is an improvement. Cases occurred in which the voter signed the paper and asked the president for a second one and the request was granted. In the Tower Hamlets 3,000 voting papers were stolen on the way from the printing office to the vestry hall of St. George-in-the-East, As soon as the robbery was des covered 31,Q00 voting papers were destroyed, and 34,000 printed on a different plan, which prevented the possi bility of the stolen papers being used. _ _ . - With no exception, as far as wohave had an opportunity of learning, has there been a departure from that quiet ness, good order, and generally exemplary meth o d of working out the great scheme which was so desirable ; and while in reference to the importance and dig nity of the occasion this was a matter of sincere congratulation, it was also one for hope that a new era has dawned for the electioneering system generally. In the various divisions there were upwards of 300 polling places, an office being provided for nearly every ward or district of every parish. Each station had its appointed number of policemen whose duties were of the easiest character. The general opinion of those engaged in the elections was decidedly in favour of the Ballot system, and to it, at least, is largely due the order that prevailed. Many ladies voted at all the booths. MARRIAGE PRESENT TO PRINCESS LOIJISE.- The Scotch servants at Balmoral and in her Majesty's household have subscribed £2OO to purchase a marriage present for Princess Louise. Dejar-Girjis, President of the Council of the Prince of Tigre, in Abyssinia, is expected in Southampton, with several Abyssinian grandees. The Prince of Tigre was favourable to the English in the Magdala, expedition, and his object in sending his Minister is to establish a treaty of commerce with England. MIDDLE CLASS COLLEGE IN WALES.--Wales is establishing a Middle Class College, on the principle of the 'University College, London. It is to afford a good education to boys of the middle class, and is to be non sectarian. The fees are to be moderate. A building has already been taken at Aberystwith, and more than 217,000 has been promised. A meeting was h e ld last week at Caermarthen to discuss the means or raising the further funds that are needed. Dissenting ministers and many of the neighbouring gentry joined upon the platform to promote the object. SPEC LATESr THE I RUSSIA A telegram Government t Government I Conference.
