•~ METROPOLITAN GOSSIP.- THURSDAY. The Eastern Question has been followed by a Western Question. The former became a perfect bore, and when a topic gets into that stage there is an end of it as - a rule, no matter how importanti Nothing could be neater than the style of cooling popular excitement adopted by the Ministry. Englishmen were'quite ready to go to war when the first Gortschakoff epistle arrived. Ministers waited a day or two, and then inflicted a heavy dose of " firm and conciliatory" despatches upon their un fortunate countrymen. A second speedily followed. Blow succeeded blow. The defeat was soon accomplished. The Englishman might have voted his money and gone into war with all its consequences ; but to read bale after bale of despatches upon an old worn-out subject, to arrive no nearer any sort of consummation after some weeks' torture, and yet to keep np the proper degree of patriotic heat, was impossible. The excitement has given way to utter indifference. The case would be one of incredible flatness were it not that no substantial interests are affected by the Black Sea problem. A Conference to settle the matter now seems sure. What line will the Government take ? I hear it said in .. several quarters that the open sea alternative—that is making the Euxine free to war ships of all nations, instead of forbidding the entrance of any—will be urged by Earl Granville. There are many arguments in its favour. If Russia over chose to send a fleet to Constantinople we should have the option of deciding whether we would send another force to sink lb or not. More- over, the " open sea " stipulation would be one which Russia could not well violate. She might main __ _ . twin as many vessels as she chose in the Black Sea, but by no means—short of war—could she prevent another power from acting similarly. This mode of settlement, too, has charms for some because it does not concede all that Russia desires, which is merely that her own navy may be free of the Euxine, not that all nations may have the same liberty. In this way we should "keep up our prestige." The chances of such an expedient being adopted are con siderable. It would, however, be by no means correct to conclude that the whole Cabinet is in favour of it. Earl Granville is, I believe ; but some of the more pacific members see the source of future troubles in the liberty' of sending a fleet to the Black Sea. If we had the power to do so we should be expected to use it on inconvenient occasions. Far more serious is the Western Question. It may be less immediately exciting, but it is matter of enduring difficulty, and contains one or two elements of danger which are most difficult to get rid of. Public men here are ex ceedingly uneasy about President Grant. His Message is a most hostile document, reviving the great old sore, and opening some smaller but fresher ones. Nor is it the document alone that is disquieting : menacing Messages are no new thing in American politics ; but it is notorious that General Grant is in difficulties, and it is deemed possible that he might try some grand coup in order to save himself. Generals do not often make ad ministrators, and the President of the United States is no exoeption to the rule. As a politician he is a failure. He has alienated the leading members of his party ; that party has seen its strength seriously weakened by the late elections ; and strangest of all, President Grant has thought to strengthen himself by accepting the alliance of Republican adventurers of the lowest stamp. The better Republican journals loudly complain of his connection with men who are unfit for public trust. It surely cannot be con soling to Englishmen to know that General Butler is the friend and counsellor, and may be the minister, of the American chief ruler. Very wrong would it be to impute any lesign of war to President Grant. But it is scarcely surprising that men should be uneasy whe n theysee his political position falling lower, when they know that the settlement of the difference with England would retrieve him, and when they consider what mode of settlement would recommend itself to a successful general but most unsuccessful minister. On the whole the aspect of American politics has not improved for Englishmen. I see from ce telegram to-day that the Message has -stirred up a strong spirit of opposition in Canada. A member of the London School Board tells me that majority of votes for the chairmanship its secured to Lord Lawrence. I give the statement from this source, though always. chary of prophesying the results of elections. His lordship is not the only suitable candidate, but his position is higher than that of any other member of the Board,, and he com mands the confidence of all parties. Miss Garrett, as the "highest scorer," will take the chair at the first meeting. The Belgian press has said much lately respecting Bonapartist plots for a restoration. The statements so persistently urged by the Inclependaneo Beige, and so gravely discussed by the Times, are not without some substratum of fact. There is good reason for thinking that the Emperor and his wife are far from agreed on the proper course to adopt, and that something very like a difference has sprung up between them. lam told by a gentleman who is of necessity in constant com munication with Chislehurst that the Empress will assu redly never be reinstated in a throne by a released army of prisoners, and, in Booth, nothing could be less in keeping with that lady's well-known spirit than such a degrading expedient. My informant adds that misfortune has bred the usual contempt for the pomps and vanities of this wicked world. The Empress is much changed. She fre quently expresses her satisfaction with the quiet life of Chislehurst, and her desire under no circumstances to endure again the gilded horrors of a throne. Whether this resolve would be proof against very strong tempta tion is more than I can say. The 50,000 or so negative votes which so alarmed the Emperor on the occasion of the plebiscite, are now fully explained. The Republican leaders, knowing well where Napoleon's strength lay, had latterly made great efforts to spread Republican doctrines amongst the troops, and with some success. Melly of the soldiers who fought under MacMahon at Sedan were enrolled—so Mr. Archi bald Forbes assures us in this month's St. Paul's—in secret societies ; and he adds that this meddling in politics seriously impaired their discipline. Political soldiers seldom, indeed, turn out well. The combination of the two professions does not answer, whether they be com bined in the ranks or in the higher grades —as witness certain remarkable examples across the " herring pond." One thing is certain, these French Republican soldiers by their 'negative votes did much to bring on the war. In the Fortnightly Review of the present month an article on Trinity College, Dublin, intended as a reply t Mr. Max Cullinan's recent contribution on the same sub ject, has been inserted. The writer is the Rev. J. P. Mahaffy, at present Junior Dean of the University and one of the Junior Fellows. His argument is to shew that not one-third of the revenues of Trinity College is absorbed by the Fellowships. Perhaps, considered merely with respect to the salaries of the Fellowships, Mr. Mahaffy speaks most correctly, but it is a well known fact in Trinity College, Dublin, that the Fellows have means of securing many offices and large emoluments distinct as it were from the fellow ships, but which none who are not Fellows have the same chance of obtaining. Mr. Ma haffy himself is not only the happy possessor of the income attaching to a junior Fellowship, but he also has that pertaining to the office of junior dean, that pertaining to the office of Kappel Meister of the College, and, if I mistake not, that pertaining to the Professorship of Moral Philo sophy. Remembering these circumstances, Mr. Mahaffy's anxiety as to the inadequate share of the college revenues which belong as it were to the Fellowships is not altogether justified. sp e aking on Irish subjects, admirers of Samuel Lover's novels, poems, and ballads will be glad to learn that the author of " Rory O'More" is remembered, as he ought to be, in his native land, and that Irishmen have just erected a simple, but pretty monument to his memory in St. Patrick's Cathedral. Aristocratic bankruptcies seem just now in the ascen dant. The reason is pretty obvious. Some tradesmen prefer a high sounding title and long credit, to having a plebeian patron with r ead y mone y . A grant ad eollegentla was made to a creditor in the case of the estate of the late Lord A. J. Somerville, which was before Lord Pen zance this week. The deceased lord's four sisters—two of whom are titled—declined the grant, or, in other words, "sent in their renunciation." Some odd things turn up in these law courts ‘4lllCh never find their way into the papers. In the Probate Court it transpired the other day that a gentleman, " who left his country for his country's good," and that " for the term of his natural life," had in former years appointed as his executors two well-known stipendiary magistrates. If Englishmen were more of bippophagists than they are, the gourmands might well look with anxiety at the present price of horses, and give a sigh of regret at the large numb= of them which are constantly hying ex_ ported. The figures given for some animals are astonish ing, and the breeders are reaping a fine harvest. One London - firm—certainly one of the largest—has during the current year sold something like 15,000 horses, a large portion of which are or have been used in the Franco- Prussian war. One of the minor topics of the week, after we had all tired of great battles, and the boring Eastern . question, has been Jenkins. "Jenkins at Versailles" is the title of an article in the Saturday Reticle, and is devoted to ridiculing the description Dr. Russell gave in the Times of his dining with the Kin; of Prussia. The article is one of extraordinary virulence. It has been noticed in several London papers, and the Daily Telegraph devoted a special leader to the subject—a sage procedure, for as " the young lions" get dreadfully mangled by the Saturday themselves, it is as well for them to seize a favourable opportunity of retribution. But why this savage animosity against Dr. Russell? The editor of the Saturday may soon assure himself that the. public interest does not require these diatribes against the Times' special, which appear almost every other week ; and if there be no other interest to serve, they might profitably be allowed to drop. Dr. Russell is very servile at Versailles. But what can these poor men at headquarters do ? They are forbidden to speak about the siege guns, the food supplies, the health of the German armies, or in short to describe anything of much interest here. As they cannot be always telling how the white smoke puffs out from Mont Valerien, how shells rush through the air like blazing 'comets, or estimating the precise day next week when Paris will undoubtedly surrender, they naturally turn, therefore, when there is no battle, to tl-e worship of King William. Some people may reasonably think that his Majesty is a view to which distance decidedly lends enchantment, but this is a world of different opinions. Anyhow, if Dr. Russell writes balderdash at times, so do others of his kind, and really in so persistently persecuting him the Saturday overshoots the mark almost as much as it does in the compliments it now and then pays to Mr. Gladstone. _ It is a great pity that another special correspondent did not favour us with a little of his experience. It ought to have been interesting. Mr. Home, the spiritualist, has been with the King of Prussia since the opening of the war, but, alas 1 he has remained silent. Mr. Home has undoubtedly spent his time amid surroundings highly calculated to extend his knowledge of the spiritual world ; but there are two parties to a visit of this kind, and we are not informed as to King William's object in securing such a companion. Mr. Home left headquarters about three weeks ago. It is noticeable that during this period the Germans have found themselves in a more critical position than at any previous epoch of the war, and it would be but natural to attribute this menacing aspect of affairs to Mr. Home's untimely de parture, were it not that the Germans are once more triumphant. But it will be well not to draw hasty conclusions. We may not yet have seen all the consequences of Mr. Home's desertion. On the subject of " specials," I may mention that Mr. Kirwin Adams, who has rendered excellent service to the Standard, has returned to England. Mr. Gilbert's " Palace of Truth " is one of the most satisfactory theatrical productions of the season. It is founded on an interesting story, the " points" are clever, and the verse flowing. It is hard for such a play to gain admiration at the Haymarket, of which the average audience is of all in London the most difficult to please in such a department as that of fairy comedy ; but Mr. Gilbert has deserved well even of it—the average Haymarket audience. The name of " Jezebel," Mr. Dion Boucicault's new play, is not enticing; but everybody says it is a great success. The cause of this triuniph appears to be the extensive admixture of the Miss Braddon element in the new venture. " Jezebel" is an exaggerated Lady Audley. • Those who are desirous of a creditable acquaintance with the affairs of Russia, cannot do better than consult the book by Dr. Julius Eckardt, " Modern Russia.," I find its information very extensive and correct. The Eastern question is on the wane at present, but it may revive again, and Russian affairs are likely always to be impor tant to us. Mr. Patterson's work about the Hungarians Is of kindred excellence. Mr. Beresford Hope is publish ing a later addressed to the Archbishop of Armagh on the Irish Church Act and its formularies—a timely step, for the Act comes into operation on January 4.. I have looked into some of the war books, and find Mr. Shand's " On the Trail of the War " very good so far as it goes. It does not, however, deal with the most stirring events of the time, Count de la Chapelle's, " The War of 1870," is a. review of the whole contest up to the battle of Coulmiers (November 9th), but it Is full of exaggerations and inaccuracies such as one found in the Paris journals in the third and fourth weeks of August. Several more war books are announced, but none of such consequence as the Daily News correspondence. It is an astonishing thing to be able to announce a really good novel. Such a one, how ever, is " Bitter is the Rind," by Mr. Smart. On Mon day will appear the conclusion of Mr. Morris's " Earthly Paradise." Of Christmas books there is an immense host out and coming, but it is impossible to make any selection. Punch and Judy has died, but very hard. A new satirical paper, the Grumbler, takes its place. Mr. Shirley Brooks is better, and has returned to his post. Sir Roderick Murchison unfortunately is almost despaired of. After seventy-eight years of life so lengthy an illness may well cause alarm. 111 E SUN, LONDON, '1 DAY, DECEMBER 9,187 C. DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF HEAI)FORT. We.have to announce the death of the Marquis of Head fort, which took place on Tuesday moaning, at Headfort, in the county of Meath, after a very short illness. He was born in 1787, and was conseouently in his 84th year, Thomas, second Marquis of Headfort, Earl of Bective, Viscount Headfort, Baron Kenlis (by which title beholds his seat in the . House of Lords), was the son of the first marquis by the only daughter of Mr. George Quin, of Quinsborough, county Clare. He married, first, 1822, the eldest daughter of Sir John Stevenson, widow of Mr. Edward Dalton (she died 1834) ; second, 1852, Frances, widow of Sir William Macnaghten. He succeeded his father in 1829, having previously for some years repre sented the county of Meath in the House of Commons ; was created a Knight of St. Patrick in 1839; and was a lord in waiting to the Queen during Lord Melbourne's ' .Administration. He was also lord lieutenant of the county of Cavan, and colonel of the Meath militia. The late marquis was a resident landlord, and universally esteemed by his numerous tenantry, whose confidence in his justice and liberality was unbounded. By his family and friends he was regarded with sentiments of the deepest affection, due to the warmth of his feelings for others and the unselfishness of his character. In politics, beyond giving his support to the Liberal .party, the late marquis took generally little part ; but it ought not be forgotten that he was always a strong advocate for ' Catholic emancipation, and took an active interest in the passing of that great measure of justice towards his Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen. He is succeeded by his eldest son, Thomas, Earl of Bective, M.P. for West moreland, born 1822. :NSTBUCTION IN SCIESCE AND ART FOR WOMEN. Professor Huxley delivered the ninth of his course of lectures on the elements of physical seience—" Physio graphy "—on Wednesday, at the South Kensington Museum, to a numerous attendance. Having pointed out in his previous lecture some of the effects which would ensue with regard to the temperature of the earth in the event of its axis coinciding with a prolonged radius of the sun, or being perpendicular to a prolonged radius of the sun, instead of being, as it is, in an intermediary position, the lecturer now proceeded to discuss some other phases of the same subject. He reminded his audience of what he had previously demonstrated, that if the sun and the earth had no motion relating to each other, and if the earth were all solid and did not rotate upon its axis, the hemisphere which happened to be turned towards the sun would be intensely hot in the middle, and cooler towards the circumference. Great changes in the climatic condition of our planet must take place also if it did not perform its annual course in addition to its diurnal revolutions. The earth moves round the sun somewhat as a stone moves round the hand in a sling. It moves round, in the space of about 365& days, in a path nearly circular. The average distance of the earth from the sun is about 90 millions of miles, and the maximum distance about 93 millions. This is a difference of about three millions of miles, but even that difference, in such a vast space, is almost imperceptible, in so far as it affects the circular outline of the orbit. While the earth moves round the sun the positions of its axis remain the same. The positions of the earth's axis in all parts of its orbit are parallel to one another ; hence the pole which is at one time directed towards the sun is at another turned from it, and the result is that in the course of the year every part of the earth's surface undergoes a certain de gree of change in relation to the sun. The climate of any place on the earth's surface is determined primarily by the lengths of the days and nights, and by the relative duration of the seasons, while these again depend upon the latitude of the place. In a secondary degree our cli mate is determined by the nature of the surface, whether it be water or land. A large proportion of the surface of the globe is dry land. Land heats much more rapidly and cools much more rapidly than water. Water takes up heat slowly and cools slowly. Therefore, on a great land surface there would be a much more rigorous climate —hotter in summer and colder in winter—than on a small surface of land. That is the reason why it actually happens on our globe that all the most rigorous climates are in the midst of great masses of land, and all .the mildest in the vicinity of great masses of water ; although, of course, the law is subject to certain modifying circum stances. Climate is also deter.mined by the height of the land. Above the lower strata of the atmosphere which surrounds the earth the tops of the mountains are liable to become very rapidly heated and very rapidly cooled, and consequently their climate is exceedingly rigorous. It may be said in a general way, and upon a rough calcula tion, that, taking any given average temperature at the surface of the sea, the temperature of the air diminishes by elevation at the rate of about 1 deg. in 300 feet. Sup posing we take the average temperature of London at 50 deg. all the year round. The freezing point is 32 deg.; the difference between that and 50deg. is 18, and that multiplied by. 300 gives 5,400 feet as the snow line, or the elevation at which, upon the basis assumed, the temperature would all the year round be at freezing point. As a matter of fact the snow level of our island is below that elevation. There are other circumstances to be taken into considera tion as determining the climate, such as currents of air and currents of water, and various modifying circum stances more or less dependent on local conditions. But in every part of the world there is a certain height at which snow would lie all the year round if there were land rising to that height. That height is the level of the " perpetual snow line." With regard to currents in the air, these modify climate by transporting heat and watery vapour from one place to another. They are caused, as formerly shewn, by the unequal distribution of heat in different parts of the globe. Over a large part of the surface the winds are nearly constant in their direc tion. Such are the " trade winds," as they are called. Currents in the air transport heat from one place to another, and are caused partly by the unequal heating of the sea, partly by the winds ; these currents, as in the case of the winds, are to a large extent constant in their direction. THE GREAT' COMMERCIAL FRAM). The extent of the fraudulent issue of Stourbridge Rail way Scrip is believed to be now fully known. £2,500 has been obtained from individuals who purchased scrip at current market value, and about £6,500 in advances on scrip of the nominal value of £17,000. The loss will have to be borne by the shareholders, and will be spread over a capital of £250,000. A Worcestercorrespondent says : Nothing lllis yet been heard of Mr. Adcock, and no trace has been found of him beyond Evesham, but it is con jectured that, from the station where he was last seen, he made his way to Birmingham. Many years ago Mr. Ad ' cook came to this city an uncertificated bankrupt, but subsequently he was granted his certificate, and then, having achieved a position of responsi bility, with proportionate remuneration, he paid off his debts. This was looked upon at an act of exceeding honesty, and this in a very great degree led to his being so generally trusted. A few years since he also, it is said, met with other losses, being largely interested in undertakings which fell after the " Black Friday " ,so well known and bitterly remembered on the Stock Exchange. This loss was rumoured at the time, and may or not be true, but his early bankruptcy is a matter of fact. Previous to , his coming to Worcester he was an innkeeper and failed in business. Subsequently he was a station master at Tunbridge Wells, next the station master in connection with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail way, then manager of the same company, in which office he was succeeded by Mr. Sherriff, one of the members for Worcester, on Mr. Adcocks being appointed secretary ; and on the undertaking being merged into the Great Western he commenced business on his own account. NO PREPARATION. Lord Ormathwaite thinks Earl Russell has done the country a service in his recent letters on the embodi ment of a Militia force of 100,000 men, and remarks : "The Duke of Wellington once deprecated our engaging in a great war on a peace establish- ment. But is not this exactly ,what we are doing at the present moment Our relations with Russia continue in a very uncertain and menacing state. Prince Gortschakoff's circular has been met, at the in stance of Prussia, by a proposal for a Congress. If it meets, its labours may lead to some settlement, or it may be only a device to gain time. Let us use the time, as our opponents certainly will. In the event of a war with Russia have we the means of engaging in it suc cessfully ? A war between England and Russia must be principally a naval one. That Power is more vulnerable by sea than any other. A strong fleet in the Black Sea, and another in the Baltic, would hermetically seal her up. Land operations against Constantinople would be extremely difficult in the face of an enemy command ng all the communications by sea. In order, however, to carry on naval operations upon this scale, we require two strong fleets in addition to the Channel Squadron, which it would be im possible to reduce. We may be preparing for all this, but no note of preparation is audible. The public believe, I think, correctly, that should what diplamatists call " the serious complications " of the Russian question involve us in war, we should have to engage in it, after more than half a year's warning, with exactly the same forces we numbered in the peaceful month of June." WAR OFFICE EPIGRAM. The following curt expression of the general opinion which prevails among their subordinates is commended to the notice of Mr. Cardwell and Lord Northbrook by a contemporary : Lord N.—we know it to our sorrow — Will act to-day and think to-morrow ; His Chief, with pros and cons distract, Will think to-day—and never act ! The Dublin Provincial Court has pronounced a decree divorcing Mrs. and the Rev. Patrick Hastings, on the ground of cruelty, and on the agreement of the parties and the withdrawal of other recriminating charges THE NORTII CHINA BISHOPRIC.—The dispute between Bishop Alford and the Church Missionary Society, with reference to the appointment of a missionary or North China Bishop, has been settled. Dr. Alford hae withdrawn his opposition to the proposed scheme, at the request, it is stated, of the Archbishop of Canterbury. No action will, however, be taken in the matter until the arrival of Mr. Russell, from China, who, it is understood, has been nominated to the new post, and Bishop Alford's departure for Hongkong is consequently postponed.— London and China Telegraph. rHE RELATIONS OF EUROPEAN POWERS A CEN TURY AGO.—The relations between Austria, England, and Russia at the present moment are a curious contrast to the state of affairs a century since. We have come across a London newspaper, of date October 6, 1774 ; in a promi nent position there appears a letter from Warsaw, dated September 17 of which the following is an extract ; " Ever since the conclusion of the peace between Russia and the Porte, a remarkable coldness has been observed between the Courts of Vienna and St. Petersburg, which is said to be occasioned by a declaration which the Rus sian Ambassador has made to the Court of Vienna, that if a war should break out between Great Britain and Spain or France, her Imperial Majesty is fully deter mined to assist Great Britain, her natural ally, and all those in alliance with that kingdom, and to act with the utmost vigour against any kingdom or their adhe rents that shall attack her. This declaration was re ceived with an uncommon frown at the Court of Vienna." —Pall Mall Gazette. AMERICAN POLICY. A letter in the Times from a correspondent in Phila delphia, who writes on November 22nd, says :—Whatever may be the Russian designs in desiring a change in the Treaty of 1856, I do not think the United States' Govern ment is in any way privy to them. There is no under standing, open or secret, as seems to be surmised in Europe, between St. Petersburg and Washington by which the Americans are to press the "Alabama" ques tion, and thus keep England engaged while Russia earths out her schemes in the East. The United States, from traditional policy, avoids all foreign alliances or inter ference. During the Crimean war the bulk of American sympathy was against Russia, and so it pro bably would be were a war to arise out of the present complication. But the fact of that complication will not lead the Government either to press or to avoid the " Alabama " question, and if Russia is counting to any extent upon American aid her reliance is weak indeed. The President desires to have the " Alabama " question reopened, but he will make no move in the . matter until he has a new Minister firmly seated in his place in London ; nor will it then in any way depend either upon the movements or the wishes of Russia. The American, policy of keeping entirely clear of European entangle ments is to be strictly maintained. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT GALASIIIELS.—A fire occurred yesterday morning in the tweed factory of Messrs. Sime, Sanderson, and Co., at Galashiels. The factory consisted of a four-storey building. The yarn room was on the first floor, and 20,0001 b. of yarn, which were in it, were destroyed. The second floor was the carding-room, and consisted of two sets. The third and fourth floors were used for machinery, and the fifth floor for handlooras. All have been destroyed, and the walls have fallen in. The cause of the fire is not known, though men were at work in the carding-room when the fire began. The loss is estimated at several thousand pounds, which will fall on insurance companies. Happily, no one was hurt. MELANCHOLY CASE OF SUICIDE.—On Wednesday evening Mr. Carter, the .Surrey coroner, held an inquest at the Henry the Eighth, Church-street, Lambeth, touch ing the death of James Rudge, aged 45, who was suspected of having, about a month ago, murdered a widow named Mary Ann Williams, who kept a tobacconist's shop in Ellis-street, Chelsea, whose body was discovered floating on the Thames, off Horselydown. Inspector Turpin, of the B division, who had had charge of the affair since th,e discovery of Mrs. Williams's body, said that facts had come to light which pretty clearly shewed that Rudge was Innocent of Mrs. Williams's death. After her disappearance the neighbours and women, especially the women, used to assemble round the door and call Rudge to come out with such expressions as " Who murderedthe woman?" " What have you done with the body?" &0., and believed this so preyed upon his mind that he had com mitted suicide. He had always lived upon the best terms with Mrs. Williams, in whose house he lodged, and it appeared that she had been very low and dispirited just before her death, having met some debts of her son's with three bills, which were due in three days afterwards, and which she could not meet. Her son had told him that he did not think Rudge instrumental in his mother's disappear ance. After hearing the evidence, the jury found that James Rudge destroyed his life while in a fit of temporary insanity, brought on by his having been falsely accused of murder. - CAN I AFFORD IT ?—Pay your Stationer 6d. for a reply.

A TICKET-OF-LEAVE CONVICT.-A ticket-of-leave con vict, who gave the name of Walter Haslur, but whose real name is believed to be John McGrath, was charged before Mr. Lushington, at the, Thames Police-court, with knowingly violating the conditions of his license. George Foster,.a detective officer of the K Divi shm, said that at one o'clock that mornings he saw the prisoner in company with a well-known convicted thief in Whitechapel. He stopped them and asked the prisoner If he was aware of the company ho was keeping and what brought him out at that unseasonable hour. The prisoner could give no satisfactory replies, and he took him into custody. He believed the prisoner was a licence holder. The prisoner told him after he was in custody that he was a waterman by trade, and did odd jobs when hd could. William Rogers, a police-constable, No. 317 A attached to the Prisoner's Aid Society, said the pri soner came from Portsmouth in July last with a convict's license, generally called a ticket-of-leave, dated June 3, 1870, and put himself in charge of the society. The pri soner gave his address, No. 6, Kettleby-court, Blue Anchor-yard, Rosemary-lane. Inquiries were made there on the 12th of August, and he was not known at tha place. Notice was then sent to the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis. The prisoner, in defence, said he was not loitering as mentioned by Foster, but walking very fast. Mr. Lushington : You were in bad company, and violating one of the conditions of your licence. Inquiries must be made about you, and I shall remand you for a week for that purpose. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Jane M'Cowan, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Knox, at the Marl borough-street Police-court, with cutting and wounding Thomas Hogan, of King-street, Drury-lane. The prose cutor said that he lived with the prisoner some years, and he lefb in July last, being obliged to do so in conse quence of her violence. While in the Black Horse public house, Tichborne-street, last night, the prisoner came in and swore she would do for him, and then struck him with a glass, which broke, and she then struck him two or three times in the face and on the hands with the broken glass. He lost a great deal of blood, and was very weak. She had assaulted him before, and said she would have his life. Police-constable Harris, 77 C, said that on being called to the Black Horse, Tichborne-street, he found the prosecutor bleeding from a wound on the f aoe, and others on the backs of his hands. He took the prisoner into custody, Bald at the station she made several attempts to get at the prosecutor, exclaiming "As there is a living God I will do for you, Tom." Dr. TothM, the divisional surgeon, was sent for, and the prosecutor had his wounds dressed. The prisoner said the injuries were as stated done with a glass. She had lived with the prosecutor, who left her in July last to live with another woman, and she had had children by him, and he was in the habit of aggravating her by walkin,gpast her with the other woman. She last night lost her temper, and struck him. He had often illused her and she had had to attend Charing Cross • Hospital several times in consequence. Mr. Knox re manded the prisoner for a week for the attendance of Mr. Tothill. ALLEGED BREACH OF PROMISE.—At the Consolidated Chamber, Dublin, Mr. Justice Keogh sat to dispose of the case of Agnes Joyce v. Theobald Blake. This was an action to recover £12,000 for alleged breach of promise of marriage. The summons and plaint set forth that the plaintiff and defendant in the month of September, 1869, agreed to marry one another, and a reasonable time for such marriage has elapsed, and the plaintiff has always been ready and willin ,, to marry the defendant, yet he had neglected and refused to marry her. Mr. Hugh Dermott for the defendant, instructed by Mr. P. J. Kelly, moved for liberty to plead several defences. First, that a reasonable time had not elapsed ; a traverse of the alleged agreement ; a plea of recision ; a plea of exonera tion before breach, and a plea of substituted contract. —Mr. Justice Keogh : Have you an affidavit verifying these defences ?—Mr. M`Dermott : We have, my lord.— Mr. Justice Keogh : And how can you swear all this ? Mr. M`Dermott : We admit the promise.—Mr. Justice Keogh : Then why not perform it ?—Mr. M`Dermott : We say that the time has not yet come for the performance of the substituted contract, which is to marry early next year.—Mr. Justice Keogh : Early next year ! Mr. M`Dermott : Yes, in the month of February ; and we say the time has not elapsed. The defences are very simple.—Mr. Justice Keogh : They are so simple that I suppose you intend to marry the lady before the trial (a laugh). You may take the order. THE LICENSE OF MUSIC HALLS.—At the Lambeth Police Court, a strange case has been heard. Carlo Gatti, the proprietor of " Gatti's Music Hall," in the West miaster-bridge-road, had three summonses against him, at the -instance of the London and Provincial Theatrical Managers' Association, for performing stage plays, and thereby offending against the Act 6 and 7 Victoria, c. 68. Mr. Mead attended to prosecute, and Mr. John Thompson for the defendant, who was stated to be in Switzerland. Counsel for the prosecution produced a programme of the performance of a grand ballet called " Enchantment," and said that the • evidence he should call would prove that the production was a stage play. He cited several cases, and especially the last one, " Wigan v. Strange," to shew that the piece produced was a " stage play." Mr. Moreton, a comedian, was oallod. He had been lessee of the Royalty Theatre, and described the plot of " Enchanment," and the songs introduced into the piece. There was a dialogue and ballet on a stage, with footlights, and all the appliances of a theatre. He attended at the request of the association, from his ex perience of theatrical pieces. Allusion to the topics of the day were introduced, such as the baby show and barmaid contest. After the notice from the association the piece was altered, but there was still dialogue and action. Mr. Fredericks, another comedian, said he saw the piece on one occasion only, and his impression was that only one of the characters spoke, and was answered by pantomimic action. It was proposed by Mr. Mead to call Mr. Johns from the Lord Chamberlain's office to shew, as an " expert," that the piece was a stage play. Mr. Thompson objected to such evidence. It was a question of fact, and as Mr. Johns had not witnessed the performance, his evidence on the point at issue was inadmissible. Mr. Thompson, for the defendant, denied that he had performed a stage play as defined by the Act 6 and 7 Victoria. Mr. Maynard, the manager at Gatti's was called. He said there was no dia logue in the piece, and, after notice, it had been very much altered. On being asked whether there was a plot in the piece, he said it was not a fair question. Mr. Chance said the question raised was, no doubt, an important one, and he would look into the statute and consider what definition could be given to the expression " stage play." His impression was that the case came within the statute. He should be sorry to strain the statute, but as at present advised he thought it came within the definition. The case was adjourned. The court was thronged with music hall proprietors and theatrical managers. The decision will affect, it is expected, many other establishments. An Amerien letter says there are bears expressed that the steamer Algoma, which plies on Lake Superior between the various Canadian ports has been lost. She has been out nearly 25 days, and had over 100 persons aboard. The Algona will be remembered as one of the vessels that carried the recent Canadian expedition on a portion of its journey to Winnipeg. The experment of importing teas from China by way of the Suez Canal has been inaugurated by Ameri cans. • The steamer Magdala, from Shanghai August 16, arrived at New York on November 21, after a voyage of 96 days, with a cargo of teas and silks brought through the Suez Canal. The Magdala was built at Leith, Scot land, and registers 549 tons. For speed the voyage is a failure, the vessel being much overdue ; and the bringing of American cargoes in this way cannot compete with the much shorter time by the Pacific Railway.

It appears that Count Moltle deemed it necessary to regain on Friday the villages taken by the French on , Wednesday ; but most of his subordinates - thought they were not worth the cost. Nevertheless, the Wurtem burgers were ordered to take Champigny, and they pro ceeded to make the attempt. They met with a warm reception. Both sides displayed great bravery. Says the , Times correspondent :—" On the 30th the Wurtem bergers had been flanked by,a, brigade of the 6th Army Corps, supported by the 3rd Division of the 2nd Army Corps, while the Saxons (12th Corps) were on their right; but on the 2nd of Decem ber they had to carry the position in the front line, and at one time they actually re-entered and held Champigny, but a dreadful fire from the forts mid earth_ works fell on and destroyed them, and at the same time the French poured out immense masses of infantry from the city, and seemed resolved to have the village at any price. The works in front of Nogent and the Faisanderie aided them powerfully, though at very long ranges, and it was evident when I reached Le Peple that the Wurtem bergers were acquiescing in the decision and were retiring. I could guess from the air of the officers in front of the house.that the day had not gone well. It is generally so when men dwell most on their own losses. Lieutenant- Colonel von Faber was there to seek the dead body of his nephew. General von Baumbach could not at all conceal his emotion as he spoke of the havoc in his old brigade. Young Count Wolf egg had just had a leg amputated in a room above. Von Strockmann, of the Staff, pale and bleeding, with a white cloth round his head, was helped in by two officers as I was standing on the steps. The Reichenstein Brigade had to lament its best officers and men." MORAL EFFECT. The Times correspondent believes that the creditable fight made by the French has done much to prolong both the siege and the resistance. " Notwithstanding the loss of so many men in killed, wounded, and prisoners, there is reason to believe that the Parisians will be much • elated by the achievement of their soldiers during these two days' hard fighting." The Daily News correspondent is of quite a different opinion. He says the French tried their very hardest. "They failed to effect any purpose worth mentioning as influencing the progress of the, siege. It is not consistent with reason to expect them to be more successful in any future effort. It was clear from the manner in which they came on and stood their ground so stubbornly, that they had been somehow imbued with a strong hope if not a confidence of success. It is difficult to see by what this flame can again be fanned." THE OCCUPATION OF ROUEN. Le Havre gives a lamentable account of the fight which preceded the German occupation of Rouen. " The Mobiles and the Franc-tireurs were crushed by the Prussian artillery, which is estimated at forty guns, and which hailed shell upon them in frightful numbers ; Guillefontaine was bombarded ; there was a struggle at Cleres, which the Prussians must have occupied, but the strength of the fight was at Buchy. There was a complete rout ; the Swiss ambulance from Havre was abandoned as well as the baggage. The siege guns in position on the heights were spiked ; the pieces which were to have been re-embarked for Havre, and which were still on the quays, wei e also spiked ; the gunboats and floating batteries moved down the Seine to wards Bouille; the officials of the telegraph had received orders to retire to Havre with the instruments. The bank removed its specie, and the receiver of taxes left his post. M. Mouchez, who was present at the action, will probably be able to rally some of the scattered troops, and retreat in the direction of Havre. The soldiers of the 62nd and 45th Regiments wept with rage on learning of the rout. Mobilised National Guards were seen in a state of drunkenness twirling round their muskets, and an officer of the Franc-tireurs of Havre is mentioned who was walking about with a woman wearing an officer's kepi on her head, both of them being intoxicated. The customs' officers of Rouen, the gendarmerie, and some marines received orders to proceed to the railway station at 8 p.m., and the train left at that hour, arriving in Havre at 1 a.m., and conveying a number of terrified travellers. The rappel was again beaten at 8 p.m. to have the rifles of the National Guard taken to the HOW. de Ville." GARIBALDI IN THE SOUTH. A letter from Lyons gives an account of Garibaldi's last expedition. This account is from French sources. After having driven the Germans to the walls of Dijon, Garibaldi made a feint of pausing to rest his troops, reckoning on surprising the enemy during the night. He sent one of his freeshooters to poignard a Baden sentinel who was at the head of the faubourg, he being ready to follow with his 1,200 mon. The freeshooter was discovered ; a shot gave the alarm to the garrison, who came out en masse, supported by a large detachment which had just arrived. Instead of surprising the enemy, the Garibaldians were themselves surprised, and a retreat was necessary. The German forces were numerous, and they were seconded by a powerful artillery. Fortunately for the French. part of this army went towards Nuits, where it encountered the free shooters of the Vosges, and Gari baldi could, therefore, deal more easily with the remainder, at Arnay le Duc and at Autun, where he re sumed the offensive. He dislodged the enemy from two positions at Autun, and it is said that having called round him his several companies of Freeshooters dispersed in the environs, he will soon be able to put bis first plan into execution. The day after Garibaldi's attempt, and while the result of the pursuit was still unknown, there was great agitation in the Prussian garrison at Dijon. All the houses were closed by military order. General Werder and all his officers prepared for departure, and reconnais sances were sent for some distance along the road to Langres, which seemed to be chosen as' the line of retreat. The following order of the day was issued by Garibaldi respecting the affair at Chatillon-sur-Seine : —" The free shooters of the Vosges, the Chasseurs of Isere, the Chasseurs of the Alps, of Havre, and of Dole, who, under the com mand of the Staff-Captain Riceiotti Garibaldi, took part in the affair of Chatillon, have deserved well of the Re public. Numbering 400, they assailed 800 enemies, routed them, made 167 prisoners, including 11 officers, took from them 62 horses, with their_ bridles, and four carriages with arms and munitions, and the post cart. Ido not speak of the dead left on the battle field. Ours only left three dead and twelve wounded. I await instructions for • the promotion of the officers and soldiers who distinguished themselves in this brilliant affair. I recommend the prisoners to French generosity, and I warn our enemies not to force us to reprisals by acts opposed to individual right. " G. GARIBALDI." A double movement of General Werder and one part of his troops is tidked of towards Paris, while the French corps at Chany, reinforced by troops from Lyons, has received orders to march on Besancon, BeHort and the Haut-Rhin. The Prussians had fortified them selves at Veson and Gray, but have abandoned those works. During several days battalions of soldiers have passed through Lyons whose caps bear the numbers of different regiments of the line. They are composed partly of prisoners escaped from Metz and partly of the fragments of those regiments which were decimated at the opening of the campaign. All these soldiers shew great anxiety to have their revenge. While Ricciotti Garibaldi moved to join his father and co-operate against Dijon, a Prussian column coming from Chaumont reoccupied Cha tillon-sur-Seine, and avenged themselves terribly on the unfortunate town. It was first pillaged by 1,000 men, then by a corps of 8,000. They loaded several waggons with plunder, and sent them to Chaumont. What tbey could not remove they destroyed, breaking the furniture, and tearing the stuffs with their bayonets. The shop fronts were demolished, the houses of absentees sacked and fired. Among the properties fired was the magnificent chateau and model farm built at the beginning of the century by Marshal Mar mont, Duke of Ragusa, whose renown is to day effaced by the infamy of Bazaine. The master of the Hotel de la Cote d'Or, where the thirteen Prussian offi cers were taken prisoners by the French, was burnt in the firing of his house, although he had nothing whatever to do with the capture. The Prussians left 1,200 men at Chatillon, but still do not seem secure. The garrison is encamped at the station, and retains two hundred inha bitants of the town as hostages. The resentment of the people is very great in the district. Garibaldi still holds his ground at Autun against the Prussians, who have been obliged to retreat in waiting for reinforce ments. Garibaldi has been joined by a body of fifteen hundred freeshooters, who had fallen back on Creuzot. Every day fresh detachments of young Alsatians arrive at Lyons. It was at first thought acci dental, but it has now become an emigration en mane. They are being formed into special battalions, to be called the Alsace Battalions. They all shew a very bitter feeling against Prussia, and if King William persists in his projects of annexation, he had better reopeople Alsace from Pomerania or Brandenburg. PRUSSIAN DESIGNS ON—LUXEMBURG. We learn, says the Pall Mall Gazette, on good authoritY, that the irrepressible German Chancellor is negotiating at the Hague for the cession to Prussia of the strip of terri tory for whose possession a war nearly broke out in 1867• These negotiations, we understand, are already so far advanced that at Berlin they are considered as good as completed, and the Prussian authorities are pre paring to take formal possession of Luxemburg at the same time as of Strasburg and Metz. Luxemburg is only a small territory of forty-six square miles, with 200,000 inhabitants, but its people have recently testified their attachment to their present rulers by numerous addresses ; it contains the site of one of the strong for tresses in. Europe— which, according to the testimony of Prussian military engineers could be rebuilt in a few months ; and it is . only three years since its neutrality was guaranteed by the great Powers. For the conquest of Alsace and Lorraine, however much it may be condemned by public opinion in the neutral States, Prussia may plead that this is a matter in which they have no right to interfere ; but such a danger to Europe, and so flagrant a violation of international law, as would be the annexation by Prussia of Luxemburg, is a different matter. The servants of Marseilles have joined together to present the National Guard of the Mobiles with a mitrail leuse, to which the name of the "Faithful Servant" has been given. The French Minister of War purchases most of 111 5 cavalry horses in England and elsewhere. About 30 or 40 arrive at the French ports in every steamer from this country. Of the Berlin speculators who have made purchases for the supply of Paris after the surrender, one has 5,000 live sheep. He is constantly bewailing the obstinacy of the Parisians, as, while they hold out, the sheep are eating him up. The correspondent and agent of a Brussels paper, who has lived in that city for many years, has just been arrested by order of the President of Police. He 3 . 5 accused of having distributed the paper referred to among the French officers who are prisoners when it contained the greatest calumnies against the German army. With so little cavalry in a campaign like the present, in which cavalry is so essentially needed, it is no wonder that the French are continually having their positions turned and their Mobiles surrounded. The scarceity of horses in France does not permit the re-orgau ization of many of the decimated cavalry regiments , though riders enough could be found to reconstitute many. It is reported from Essen, in Prussia, that a cannon of a new kind has been sent out from the Krupp manufac tory, adapted for a special purpose. It is a cannon of cast steel of an inch and a half thickness, and about five feet in length; it rests on a pivot, and can turn and fire in all direc tions. Its object is to fire on the balloons leaving Paris. The range and the precision of this light weapon are said to be most extraordinary. A Dieppe paper says that the English mail has passel through there on account of the interrupted communica tion with Amiens. The Newhaven steamer, which brought the mail, had on board an Englishman who had heard that the siege of Paris was raised, and had started to be the first of his countrymen to enter the city. He took the railway from Dieppe to Rouen, and resolved to proceed to Paris in spite of all obstacles. The Dutch papers discuss the question as to whether the Government is justified in giving up those French soldiers who have escaped from Prussian prisons to the Low Countries. Many journals deny that the authori ties have a right to deliver up these men to the Germang , and as many instances of this kind have appeared of late, it is probable that when the Chamber meets the question will be brought before it. The Goveinment of the National Defence has issued two important decrees respecting cereal crops. The first furnishes the Commissary of Algeria with a Provisiona l credit of 1,200,000 francs, to purchase, at convenient sear sons in the different markets of Algeria, cereals for sowing and provisioning. The second decree extends to Algerian ports the decree of last October, which forbids the export of cereals from French territory to foreign countries. At Conlie, although nearly all the Mobiles recently there encamped have moved forward to Yore-1-Evtique , where there are, it is said, 100,000 men, in in order to defend Le Mans in case of a Prussian s& vance, there are still several thousand men, fresh arrivals, who are being rapidly organised. Upwards of 2,0 00 workmen directed by military engineers, are engaged 10 carrying on the works of defence, which are now becomin g most formidable. THE SEA. FIGHT OFF HAVANA. The encounter between a French despatch boat and re Prussian gunboat, off Havana, has attracted a good deal of attention. It seems that the French vessel, the Bouvet, was of 120-horse power, and carried five guns, four of small calibre on the sides, and one 24-pounder swivel gun at the bow, while the Prussian boat the Meteor was of 80-horse power, and carried three swivel guns, and' 860 men. One of the Prussian guns was a Krupp. They' both came into the harbour of Havana on the 7th of November, and it was understood that a challenge p a ssed between them, but the Bouvet had to wait in the offing for her adversary, who was detained for twenty-four hours after her departure according to international law. There was great excitement in the town respecting the fight, and heavy bets were made, generally in favour of the Prussian, and two Spanish vial' vessels, carrying large numbers of officials, went out to see the fight. When the firing began the vessels were about seven miles from shore, and a mile and a half apart. The first shot was fired by the Bouvet, but it fell shorty and the Meteor kept steadily moving forward while her enemy fired several more shots without result. The vessels came within half a mile of each other, and the Meteor then fired with no better success. After a time however, the fight grew more exciting, for having passe° each other without result, the Bouvet mo ve down as if with the intention of boarding, and the firing went on rapidly. A collision took place, the Meteor's main and mizen masts went, and the Bouvet's topmast. The machinery of the French vessel was also disabled, for she immediately set sail for the harbour. The Meteor was, meanwhile, busy clearing her decks and screw from the debrief but fired after the retreating foe, though h° shots again fell short. Either the accuracy of t he gunners was very deficient on both sides, or the two cony batants must have taken good care to keep out of range of fire, for the only serious damage appears to have beeO done by the collision. When the Bouvet had neared the harbour, the Spanish man-of-war fired a gun to indicate that the fight must cease, and the Commander of the French.. vessel was notified that being in neutral waters, he m ust ' not repair damages and continue the- contest, but if h e entered port every facility would be given him. The Spanish vessel also sent medical aid to both combatants . The chief damage done to the Bouvet was the piercing of her connecting pipes by a shot. Two of her men were scalded and one wounded. The Meteor had three men killed, and one wounded. but her damage was small. The dead were buried 10 Havana with great pomp, all the German resident e , attending, and both vessels began repairs with the avowed intention of renewing the fight. The French are said to be irritated by the boasting of the German citizens, tho n g! neither side appears to have displayed extraordinary prowess or skill. The Middlesex Sessions bar have been consideriq a resolution to accept no fee under the proposed n.„ 4 ”: scale as laid down by the Treasury, but to conduct toy, prosecutions as usual, so that there shall be no detrime" to the public service. This, however, has not yet bell adopted.
