CHRISTMAS SERMONS. There were some 'very eloquent sermons preached in the Metropolitan churches on Christmas Day. In two of the largest places of worship—St. Paul's Cathedral and the Surrey Tabernacle—the sermons were delivered by the Dean of St. Pauls and by the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon respec: tively. The attendance at the Grand City Cathedral was, considering the intense cold and fog which during the whole morning hung over the Metropolis, extremely good. The service was held in the choir, but it was not nearly large enough to accommo date the worshippers, who flowed over into,,the side aisles and the nave, and occupied a considerable portion of the space usually railed off for the special services. This being a grand festival of the Church, high service was performed, the musical portion being that which is known as " King in C." Prayers were intoned by the Rev. J. V. Povah, the Litany being sung by the Rev. W. S. Simpson and the Rev. W. J. Hall. The choir was tastefully, but simply decorated with holly, and the back of the Communion Table with emblematical de vices in the same evergreen. Nothing could be simpler or in more correct taste, than the decorations and the whole service, and it could not fail to have struck anyone who had been in the habit of attending any of the high Ritualistic churches. At the conclusion of the prayers and Litany, the Dean ascended the pulpit and preached from the 9th chapter of Isaiah, v. 6 : " For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder ; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." After dwelling upon the remarkable manner in which the predictions of the prophet respecting the utter desolation of the land of Judah were accomplished through the invasion of their country by the Assyrians, as described in previous chapters, he turned to the text itself, and explained, by reference to various other passages of Scripture, the names given in the text to our Saviour, identifying Him alike with the angel who appeared to Manoah, and declared his name to be secret, and an angel in the Revelations. He then remarked that the name given to Christ in the text was " the Prince of Peace." " The Prince of Peace, how strangely," said the Very Rev. Dean, " and yet how soothingly does that title sound in our ears, surrounded as we are by the associations of the present year. On this day were heard the voices of the Heavenly Host proclaiming peace and goodwill to man. On this day eighteen hun dred and seventy years ago was born Him who said, ' Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.' In anticipation of Him who was born on this day, a prophet foretold that nation should not lift up the sword against nation, neither should they learn war any more ; and yet upon this very day, at this season, within but a short distance of our own shores, men bearing the name of Christians, and who are pro fessedly the followers and servants of the Prince of Peace, are making against each other a war of the bitter passion, of which there seems to be end, and the mag nitude and suffering of which are unsurpassed by any recorded in history—a war which seems destined, so far as human will can control the events of the world, to go on even to utter extermination, with no yielding on one side and with no relenting on the other. While we, as is our custom, make this holy and joyful season one not only given to God but one of festivity among men, we need but to look beyond the narrow belt of sea which surrounds our land, to behold war, and famine, and all the inclemency of the season, doing their worst to destroy mankind under the command and direction of their fellow men. While deploring these terrible signs of the times, we must acknowledge in them the evidence that Christ's kingdom is not yet established in this world, but is still, as of old striving with mankind, with their wrath, their ambition, their revenge, their hatred, and all the evils of man's nature. Yet we must remember that far removed from all schemes of ambition, beyond the din of conflict and all its sufferings and perils, Christ is still to them that trust in Him the Prince of Peace, and that beyond all the chances and changes of this mortal life His peace will abide with them." At the Tabernacle in Southwark there were no outward signs of Christmas. The fog was so thick that, though the gas was lit, Mr. Spurgeon was hardly discernible, except by those who were near the platform. But his voice , rang out clear and distinct as ever. His theme was appropriate the coming of (wise men from the East to Jerusalem to worship Christ on His Nativity. The Incarnation of the Son of God he described as one of the greatest of all events in the history of the universe. Its actual occurrence was made known to certain shepherds and to' certain wise men In the East. The shepherds were little ac quainted with books, but the coming of Christ was made known to them, and they hastened to Bethlehem to see the great sight, while the Scribes and Pharisees did not seem to know when Christ was born. In this, and its being made known to the Magi, who came from the East, he saw the great mercy and at the same time the sovereignty of God, " who has mercy on whom He will have mercy, and com compassion on whom He will have compassion ;" and he inculcated on his hearers the lesson that they should imitate the wise men of the East in seeking Jesus dili gently, and in evincing an interest in Him. He pointed ont that as these wise men had encouragement in that a a star went before them, and stood over where the young child was, so had mankind in these days encouragement in seeking after Christ, inasmuch as they had heard the Gospel, and lived in a land where the ordinances of God's house were free. In his prayer, Mr. Spurgeon besought the Almighty to send men who would preach the Gospel in its purity in the Church of Rome, in the Church of England, " and in other apostate churches;" and in his exposition of the second chapter of St. Matthew, which he read, he pointed out markedly that it was Jesus who was in the front of the picture, and that though Mary was present the wise men did not worship her, but Him. In his sermon he followed out the same line of thought, saving the wise men of the East, spoken of, were not content with seeing the star that went before them, but they sought to see Christ, and did see Him. There might be many who said, "We have been baptised, and we come to the Sacrament," and thought that that was sufficient for their salvation. Poor souls, they worshipped the star instead of wor shipping Christ. Would they be so foolish as to rest on outward ceremonies ? God said, " Bring no more vain oblations, incense is an abomination to me." What cared God for outward forms? When he saw a man putting on a white garment in which to preach the Gos pel, and performing all kinds of rites and ceremonies, he felt disposed to ask what sort of a God it was that he wor shipped. Surely they knew not Jehovah, if they thought that these things were pleasing to him. He exhorted his hearers to seek Jesus, for in finding Him alone would they secure salvation. Jesus was ready to save all who came to Him. And as the wise men of the East when they found Him presented to Him their gifts of frankin cence, and gold, and myrrh, the costly productions of the country, so he called on those who new found Him to give Him of their gifts, to work for Him, to give Him their tongues, their hands, and their hearts. NORWICH ELECTION is understood that the petitioner in this case will be represented in the approaching inquiry, before Mr. Justice Keating, by Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., Mr. Griffiths, and Mr. E. L. O'Malley. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, Mr. Rodwell, Q.C., and Mr. S. Reeve have been retained for the sitting member (Mr. J. H. Tillett). THE SKELETON EQUIPAGE.—Seated 011 the box was a long, lean, weather-beaten lookin6 -, man— the Don Tomaso of the story—equipped from head to foot in sombre rusty blalk, with a curiously battered three cornered cap—evidently the head gear of some old military campaigner. His hands were gloved, but his fingers made their way through, and in the right he held his reins of thin rope, and in the left he carried a strong, short, thick whip with a long lash. " Hi, hi !" he again cried with a snarl, whirling his whip, for his countenance was particularly sardonic. " Get ye forward, fiery steed of the Ukraine ! No frijoles for breakfast if ye are not at home betimes." Now the atten tion of my cab-driver was aroused. We had approached the Hill of Ludgate, and the glorious sun was shin ing on the majestic dome of St. Paul's, glint ing the cross with very fire, and making th e surrounding scenery for the dull City charming. H e knocked at the window, and said, " Holloa, governor, look here !" pointing to the eccentric cavalcade, as it made way. " What is it ?" he cried. I replied I did not know. " Surely," I said, "it must be the freak of some maniac." " Holloa," continued my cabby, address ing the strange, lean coachman ; " holloa, young Cholera Morbus" (for the vehicle really looked like a caravan of death that could be elongated at pleasure). " Where do you come from, and where are you bound to ?" It is a remarkable idiosyncrasy of the London cab-drivers, distinguished from others of the same great race, that they endeavour invariably to reverse the order of things, in peristently calling old young, and vice versa. The old lean coachman, designated young Cholera Morbus, deigned to raise his head, and with a deep, guttural voice replied, "Just arrived from Nova Zembla, en route to Mexico for change of climate."—" City Mosaics," in Gentleman's Magazine.

Ghosts are like true charity, pure religion, and perfect beauty ; things often heard of, but never seen. They are the most annoying of 'ancy's offspring, because we all feel that they ought to exist, and yet everyone of us doubts that they do exist. Seriously, we know no philo sophical reason against ghosts ; but, philosophically, we cannot say that we believe in them. Dr. Johnson made a shrewd remark—and the doctor believed in ghosts—that every man knew another man who had seen a ghost, but no man had ever seen one himself. 01 course not ! When you go resolutely at it, Mr. Ghost gradually melts into thin air. It is nothing tangible. You adver tise for a really haunted place, and you sleep and enjoy yourself in it, but the ghost does not come. You go away, let the house, and your friend's servant is frightened to death. We ourselves know, at least, a dozen well authenticated ghosts, but all at second or third hand. It is to be observed, both of ghosts and ghost stories, that they appear, one in the dark, and the other in the dark ' time of the year. Even the ghost of Hamlet's father, who was quite prepared against the shock of any enemy, being clothed in " complete steel," was fearful of the light. When that is seen to break on the stage, the ghost flies. Also, let us note that the northern nations are adepts at ghost stories, and that the dark ages abound with them. Hoffman, a German writer, is perhaps facile princeps among his countrymen, for telling a ghost story ; and the dark German imagination, matured by many a Winter spent in quaint old towns, and dark forests bordering on the North Sea, or stretching far inland, seems , to find delight in gnome stories, legends of the Hartz Morntains, and histories in' which the enemy of mankind plays a part. Such stories, touched by the genius of Goethe in "Faust,",and abounding in the weird music of " Der Freischutz," have become The Overland Mail brings news from China to the .15th of November. The Overland China Mail of that date says : " The official account of the Chinese mode of settling the Tientsin affair has been pnblished ; it fully confirms previous reports. The three guilty officials, the Fu and Helen of Tientsin and General Chen-kwo-jui, are deliberately let off, Prince Kung alleging that to bring . them to trial would create " embarassment." Instead of the three real murderers, twenty men have been bought by the mandarins at 500 taels a head, and sixteen of them have been already executed at Tientsin. They would all have been beheaded but for the inter ference of the Russian Consul-General, who protested against the sacrifice of four of the men specially accused of the murder of the Russians until their guilt shall be made clear. A compensation of 250,000 taels, chiefly out of the Customs' duties on foreign trade, completes the settlement. Chung How goes to Paris to explain his own conduct, and to reveal to the French Government the kind of " em barrassment" which the Chinese anticipate from exer cising justice on official criminals. Both Mr. Wade and M. de Rochechouart approve of Chung How's mission, though the latter declines to express any opinion in re spect to the present terms of " settlement." Mr. Wade the British Mibister, it is said, views the arrangement favourably. Several gunboats of variou4 nations will winter in the Peiho. _ _ Mr. Wade says the only danger to be apprehended is from the "dangerous classes." In Japan the railway works are being actively pushed on. Lieutenant Wedge, of the Ist Battalion 10th Regi ment, has accidentally killed himself by a pistol shot. A shock of an earthquake has been felt. No damage was clone. The Italian Minister has arrived; he is accredited to China also, and will ultimately reside at Pekin. part of the heritage of all nations. Ghosts, not unknown to the ancients—witness passages in the " Iliad, " the " .ZEneid," the story of the spectre visiting Caesar visiting Brutus on the eve of a battle, as, related with explanatory reasons by Plutarch—seem to have become 'more powerful and more general since the Christian era. That event, which should have laid all the ghosts until the Judgment Day, seems to have set them free. The doctrine of purgatory, gradually arising during the Middle Ages, must have given strength to the belief. When more money was needed for prayers for the souls in purgatory, there was not lacking a ghost, as many Irish stories witness, to come and jog the memory of the stingy son and heir, or the wife who was fonder of her husband's money than of the care of his soul ; yet a true Christian should surely be at rest concerning such pigments of the brain. Even from Christmas litera ture they are banishing themselves. Such dark fancies and night fears can do no good, and must do the children who listlen to them an immense deal of harm. Faith should be full of sweetness and light, casting away fear and abiding in love ; and this is now the modern way of looking at Christmas. --Family Herald. AN ADVENTURE WITH BEARS 'AT THE SOUTH POLE. Away hurried most of the men, Mr. Tarwig and Toby with a few of the others remaining on board. Mr. Tarwh at length calling a couple of men to accompany him went over the vessel's side, telling us to follow as quickly as we could after we had searched for the flesh. Torn Martin was one of the other men. Just at that instant we saw the whole party set off running on the ice below us, as fast as their legs could carry them, and directly afterwards a huge bear followed at full speed. Mr. Tarwig and the men with him had fortunately got a couple of old spears from the ship, but they had no other weapons. Tom Martin went unarmed. Scarcely hadthey got down on to the flat ice than out there sprang close behind them a huge bear. He seized poor Tom by the small of the back, and began to make off with him. Tom shrieked out in an agony, " Oh, save me ; save me l" His cries brought us to the side of the ship. However, we could not help him. At the same instant three more rushed out, and attacked the mate and his remaining companion. They had now enough to do to defend them selves, while the bear made off with poor Tom. We shouted and shrieked to the men below us, but they did not hear, and continued their course, the bear followiug. We instantly began shouting from the vessel, and heaving bits of timber at the animals. This attracted the atten tion of a couple of them. Toby fortunately had his musket with him, and running for it just as the bears had got so close up as to be able almost to spring on board, he shot one of them through the head. A bit of timber hit the other so severe a rap on the nose that he turned tail, very nearly running against the mate and the other man. We were now able to go to their assist. ance ; and Toby, again loading his musket, fired just as the bear was about to rush on Mr. Tarwig. The animal fell, till growling furiously, and attempting to struggle forward towards the mate. We came up just in time to knOck the creature ou the head, and save our officer. In the meantime loud cries from our shipmates below made us hasten, with arms in our hands, to their assistance. •It was too late, however, to save the life of one of the poor fellows, the bear having sprung upon him, knocked him down, and, seizing him by the back, carried him off. In vain we pursued, the poor fellow shouting in his agony, entreating us to fire. Toby, who was a good shot, at length got near enough to fire with a chance of killing the bear. He let fly. The monster dropped the man, and retreated a few paces. Once more he rushed at him, and to our horror, seized him again and began tearing him furiously. Another shot from TOby's musket again wounded the bear, but it only had the effect of making him bite away at our unfortunate shipmate with still greater anger. The man did not move or cry out. We had too great reason to believe that he was already dead. Still we determined to rescue him, if possible, from the maws of the bear. It was not until another shot that the bear fell, or till we had plunged our pikes into his body that he ceased to growl and move. The poor man gave a few convulsive struggles and all was over. Thus in one day we had lost two of our number. In vain we looked for poor Martin ;he was nowhere to be seen. We hunted in every direction, and at length had to give up the search. We therefore buried the other poor fellow in a solitary grave, in the only ground we could find near at hand. We then proceeded to cut up the bears, as in our great need of food it would not do to risk their loss by leaving them. With our sleighs thus heavily laden, we returned to the boats with the sad account of the loss of our shipmates. —At the South Pole: a Tale of Adienture, by W. H. G. Kingston. Dr. Lankester held an inquest on Saturday on the body of a domestic servant, named Jemima Hall, aged 22. The girl had complained to her mother that her work was too hard for her, and on Thursday last she left her situa tion and went home. She had not been home long before she suddenly fell to the floor and died. The medical evi dence shewed that her chest and lungs were quite deformed by tight lacing , and that she died from the effects of it. Thejury returned a verdict in accordance with this vi dence. MR. AYRTON AND THE HYDE PARK TREES. — The magnificent fringe of trees upon the edge of Hyde Park on the Kensington-road side is going. The myrmi dons of the department of Works, thirty or forty in number, felled and removed one of the trees on Thursday ; and they were hastily engaged in doing further mischief, as though afraid of an injunction in Chancery. This is the way in which the promise to parliament, that those trees should not be harmed is kept by a Minister of the Crown, as our readers kno;w this is not the first nor the second tree thus hurriedly disposed of.—Kensington News. ANOTHER PARRICIDE AT HALIFAX. —At a coroner's inquest held on Friday, the particulars of another case of parricide near Halifax were detailed. 'William Sut cliffe, a labourer living at Queensbury, near Halifax, on re turning home on Saturday night, the worse for liquor, quar relled with his wife. His eldest son Jonathan, aged 26, who lives a short distance off, caned at the house whilst the disturbance was going on. Sutcliffe then took a knife from the cupboard at hand and threatened to stab his son. After a few words he threw away the knife, and grasping the poker from the fireplace, dealt his son a blow on the head. A scuffle ensued, in which Jonathan threw his father upon the floor, and kicked him several times with his clogs, inflicting fearful internal injuries, and rupturing the spleen. On Thursday Sutcliffe died from the Injuries inflicted by his son, and at the inques the jury said that this was one of the worst cases of manslaughter, and returned a verdict accordingly. The son is in custody. A YOUNG SMOKER —A remarkable inatauca o. early acquaintance with the virtues of tobacco was brought under the notice of the P athological Society on Tuesday evening by Dr. Dickinson , in a boy three'years of age, an in-patient of the Children's Hospital in Great Ormond-street. The boy was admitted with marked symptoms of that forni of paralysis known as locomotor ataxy, which is extremely rare an an early age, and the peculiarity of his antecede'. was that he was an habitual smoker. It appears that he early evinced a remarkable objection to female society, and preferred marching about with his father, who was a gamekeeper , and sharing his comforts, including a short pipe and strong tobacco. When ad mitted into the hospital, an inquiry into the history of the case elicited the fact of his being a smoker ; and on testing his predilection in this respect when in the hos pital he exhibited a proficiency in the art which could have only been acquired by some practice, and he pre ferred smoking• that particular vegetable product which is known to the initiated by the name of shag."—n e Lancet. LAW AND POLICE. THE RELIGION OF MINORS.—A case of considerable in terest has come before the Irish Court of Chancery, being a question as to the religion in which certiin minors were' to be brought up. The children in question are the daughters of Mr. Robert Warren Meade, a gentleman of high standing as a solicitor, and the son of a Protestant clergyman, having also two brothers clergymen of the Protestant Church. Mr. Butt, Q.C., stated the case, which was briefly that Mr. Meade had, in 1859, married Miss Alice Ronayne, of Ardsalla, in the county of Cork, a lady of the Catholic faith. Previous to this marriage it appeared from the petition that Miss Mary Catherine Rohayne, the sister of the bride elect, had a cerrespondence with Mr. Meade, in the course of which she asserted that he, being desirous of obtaining her influence with her sister, promised that the female issue should be brought up Catholics. These letters were not now forthcoming, and proof of the fact rested upon the sworn testimony alone ; but in the pre sent aspect of the case, whether the promise was made or not was a matter of not much importance. The marriage was celebrated in London, first at the chapel of the Spanish Embassy by a Catholic priest, and after wards in a Protestant church by the father of the bride groom, who thus gave his full assent to the union of his son with a Catholic lady. The first child, Alice Mary, was born on the 24th of June, 1860, at the residence of her mother's brother, Mr. Ronayne ; and the second, Anne Warren, was born on the 11th of July, 1861. at the same place. Both were baptised by Catholic clergy men. The petition stated that from the date of the marriage the two families lived on terms of the greatest intimacy, and a considerable portion of each summer was spent. by Mrs. Meade and her children at her brother's residence, and at that of her sister, Mrs. David Nagle, in the county of Cork, while Miss Ronayne lived very much with Mr. and Mrs. Meade at their residence in Baggot-street, Dublin. Up to the period of Mrs. Meade's death the two minor children were brought up in strict conformity with the doctrine of the Catholic Church. On October 3, 1867, a third little girl was born, who would not be affected by this proceeding, as she• was only three years old, and it was quite open to her father to educate her in any re ligion he pleased. Within 12 days of the birth the mother died, and between the date of her death and the funeral Mr. Meade requested Miss Ronayne to remain with him, and take charge of the children. It appeared that she continued to do so until Mr. Meade became en- --- —_ gaged to Miss Jamieson, a Protestant lady, after which he announced his intention of having the children educated in the Protestant religion. The learned counsel stated the whole case, which is not yet concluded, at consider able length. DAMAGES FOR INJURIES ON A RAILWAY.-At the Sheriff's Court the case of Tear v. The Brighton and South Coast Railway was heard. This was an action in the Queen's Bench for personal injuries. The plaintiff laid his damages at £1,500, and the company had allowed judgment to go by default. The only question before a special jury was what injury the plaintiff had sustained. The Hon. Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Petherham were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Lopes, Q.C., and Mr. R ose represented the company. The case was before the Court on Thursday, when it occupied the attention of the learned Under-Sheriff and the jury till past five o'clock, and on Saturday it lasted several hours. The plaintiff, a builder at Croydon, was riding in a train on the company's line, and near Sydenham an acci dent occurred by a Crystal Palace train, and the plaintiff alleged that he was ruptured by the collision that occurred, being thrown from his seat. He did not feel the injury until after he had gone home and had had medical attendance, and in August went to Ramsgate. The accident occurred on the Bth of July, and the pre sent was the only action brought ; the others having been settled. The guard of the train had thrown himself off and had died, it being stated by Mr. Lopes that had he remained at his duty his life would have been saved. The plaintiff had delivered " particulars," and put £35 for his stay at Ramsgate, but it was proved that he had not stayed the time he mentioned in the particulars. The question raised was whether the claim was not only exag gerated, but unfounded. Witnesses were nailed on both sides- The plaintiff, a very stout man, declared that he had been thrown from one side of the railway carriage to the other, and was ruptured by the accident, and not before. He had been prevented from attending to his business in the usual manner. The medical evidence was that he was ruptured, and the appearance showed it was recent. On the part of the company the medical evidence was to the effect that the rupture was not a recent one. It was also @hewn that the plaintiff had been only a few days at Ramsagte. He had been a bankrupt, and, it was alleged, had not been truthful in his account of the accident. A person who was in the same carriage with him when the accident occurred denied that he was thrown from one side of the carriage to the other. He (the witness) was not hurt, but only a little shaken. Mr. Lopes, in summing up the evidence, declared that it was only a case for nominal damages. He urged that an attempt had been made to defraud the company by an unfounded claim, and that it was the duty of the railway company to resist the claim that had been made. Mr. Thesiger put the case to the jury as one which called upon them to give substantial damages. The question simply was, whether the present claim was a con spiracy, supported by perjury. He denied that there were any grounds for such an allegation. The plaintiff had been ruptured by the collision, and though there were some errors in the particulars, he felt assured that the jury would consider it a case for substantial damages.--Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell told the jury that the only ques tion for them was one of amount. Was the rupture in consequence of an old or a recent occurrence? If they considered that the case had been trumped up, then the lowest possible damages would be sufficient, and he hoped that if they entertained such an opinion, they would have the moral courage to give expression to it by their verdict. But if, on the contrary, they thought the plaintiff had been injured in his person by the collision, and that the injury resulted in a loss to his property, then it was their duty to give fair and reasonable damages. The jury re tired, and after a brief consultation returned into court and assessed the damages at £1.50. FURIOUS DRIVING.-A case of furious driving was brought before Sir Sydney Waterlow at Guildhall'the other day. A carman, who was drunk, had driven right into a waggonette in High-street, Aldgate. There were three persons in it, who fortunately sustained no serious injury, but they were placed in great danger from the excited state of the horse as the dashboard fell upon him. It turned out upon inquiry that the prisoner was drunk, and Sir Sydney Waterlow fined him 10s., or in default seven days' hard labour. He was unable to pay the fine, and it was urged on his behalf that he had a wife and six children dependant on him for support. Sir Sydney Waterlow, however, refused to alter his de cision, remarking, very justly that the lives of the public should be protected, and he would do his utmost to pro tect them, so far as the law empowered him to do so. THE SALE OF RIFLES.-At the Northern Assizes, at Liverpool, the case of Jones v. Manning was heard. Mr. C. Russell and Mr. T. H. James were for the plaintiff; and Mr. Aspinall, Q.C., and Mr. Gully for the defendant. This was an action by the plaintiff, a gunmaker carrying on business in Liverpool, against the defendant, a hard ware merchant in the same town, for damages resulting from the breach of an agreement on the part of the de fendant to deliver to the plaintiff 1,900 rifles and bayonets, according to sample, at 13s. 9d. each, within 14 days from the 15th of October last. At the time of the agreement of sale the defendant was informed by the plaintiff that he intended to re-sell them, and the former stated that he believed that they were in London at the time. Im mediately after the sale the plaintiff re-sold them at the price of 21s. each, less 2i per cent, commission to the broker, through whom the sale was effected. Three or four days afterwards the defendant informed the plaintiff that the rifles were in Hamburg, and that the authorities of that port refused to allow them to be exported without a certificate as to their destination : he could not, therefore, deliver them unless the plaintiff supplied the necessary certificate. This the latter declined to do, and accordingly the rifles were not delivered at the expiration of the fourteen days. It was proved that, owing to the present European war, the demand for rifles was very great, and that the market price steadily increased up to the time of the negotiations for the proposed armistice, several witnesses, ' stating that the rifles in question could have been sold at 308. each. even upon the day on which the sale was effected by the defendant, and that it had rather increased at the end of the 14 days. When the plaintiff learnt that the de fendant could not deliver the rifles to him he cancelled his sub-contract, but paid the commission in respect of it to the broker. For the defendant it was contended that the mar ket price had not really advanced, and that the certificate as to the destination of the rifles might and ought to have been supplied by the plaintiff, as the sub-purchaser re ' quired them for the African trade, and not for the use of the belligerents. The agreements, however, did not pro vide for this, and the judge directed the jury that the only question for them was the amount of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled, and they awarded him £5OO. NEWS FROM AUSTRALIA. We have received by the Australian mail news from Melbourne to November Bth : The Duke of Edinburgh had arrived on his third visit to the colony of Victoria He was welcomed by thousands of people. During his stay in Melbourne his Royal Highness was the guest of the Governor, who gave several parties in his honour at Toorak. His Royal Highness did not appear in public very frequently. The day after the snail left the Prince was to proceed to Sydney to join the Galeatea, which was under orders to sail for the South Sea Islands, A large fire occurred at Wellington on the night of October 24, destroying property to the value of £lOO,OOO. Three shocks of an earthquake occurred at Wellington on the 3rd October, and another at Nelson on the same day. It is expected that the telegraph line from Port Ade laide to Port Darwin will be finished by the end of 1871. The Tasmanian Parliament has been prorogued until the 22nd of May next. Parliament reassembled for the despatch of business on the 27th of October. It is probable that the session will be a short one. Supplies will only be asked for a portion of 1871, in order to effect a change in the date of the commencement of the financial year. The princi pal passages in the Governor's speech were the following : I regret to have to inform you that there is a considerable falling off in the revenue. But you will be glad to learn that notwithttanding a long-continued drought, followed by severe and repeated floods, with a decreased yield of gold in some of the principal mining districts, the financial position of the country is sound, and that the national income will be adequate to meet the expenditure for the year. The vital subject of education has steadily occupied the public attention for some time past, and it has been generally acknowledged that the present Act needs amendment. Although in the lamentable war in which two great -Euro pean Powers are engaged Great Britain maintains a posi ' tion of strict neutrali.y, my Government have felt that every care should be taken to place our defences in such a position that the country may feel assured of safety in any contingency that may arise. The material of war at our disposal is now ready at any time for effective use ; some new batteries are being constructed; a small body of men neccessary for the immediate purposes of garrison duty have been enrolled, and preparations have been made for securing the colony against any attack t 3 which it might be exposed. ARTENIUS WARD AND THE CONJUROR. Artemus and I produced our pellets. We had prepared them at the hotel before starting. The name that I , wished to be rapped out was rapped in due order with as much celerity and with equal attendant mystery as if a spiritualist instead of a conjuror had been the operator. But when Artemus experimented with his pellets, no raps resulted, and the conjuror was unsuccessful. " Ah," he exclaimed, "you have not written the name of a dead friend whose spirit you really wished to hear from." Artemus replied that he had written the name of Captain Kydd, the famous pirate of days gone by, adding that he particularly wanted to hear from Kydd's spirit, that he might learn where the pirate had hidden his booty. "There is just where you have made the mistake," said the conjuror, "You have written Captain Kydd's name on one slip, the King of the Cannibal Islands on another, and hip Van Winkle on this one." Artemus laughed, but was fairly puzzled. "How do you know what I have written ?" he asked. "You have not opened any of them to see, though you have got the right names." " There's the trick of it. You see I know already what's inside the little balls. Now go into the next room. Make up six more little balls, and write on one of them the name of somebody who is dead, and whom you would really like to hear from. We'll try the experiment again." A fresh 'set of pellets was placed on the table. The conjuror, after a few manoeuvres, commenced knocking aside with his wand one pellet after another. On his touching the fourth one, there were three vigorous raps. Artemus was told to take a pencil and go over the letters of the alphabet, He did so, and a name was rapped out to him in due " spiritual " form. His surprise was great. "That's the name of an uncle of mine who died down in Maine, said ho "It is the very name I wrote. I thought it was a likely one because he was given to talking when alive. But what is the old man rapping away under the table for?" " Wait, and you shall know all about it. You see when you did write the name of one you really desired to hear from, the raps came all right. Now, here's the trick of it. You make up twelve little balls. You write a name inside of each. You place all the twelve upon the table. There they are. I pass my hand over them. There they are still. " I see them," said Artemns. " No, you don't," asserted the conjuror, with a laugh. " For here they are." He opened his left hand. There were twelve other pellets in the palm of it. " Observe my table." said he. "It has a pattern on it. All inlaid wood in squares and stars. Now, look closely at that little square in the centre, You don't see it's a little trap door, but it is. The pattern of the table hides where it opens. Now there are twelve little balls on the table. I palm these other twelve little balls, which I have already prepared, in my right hand. As I pass my hand over the table, I touch this spring. The trap opens. Down go the twelve little balls on which you have written into the table. The trap closes, and I put the other twelve little balls in their place. You think they are the same. There, you see, the hand is quicker than the eye. First lesson in conjuring —fact ! Then I divert your attention while I unroll and examine the twelve little balls which have fallen through, to find out the name of the spirit you want to hear from." " But how do you find that out ?" we asked. " That's science, not hanky-panky," answered the man of mystery. " You see you write on twelve slips, and you write twelve names. One name is that of somebody you do wish to hear from, and ther other eleven are nobodies. You think you write all alike, but you don't. You are sure to write the name of the spirit , you want to rap more carefully than all the other names. You can't help doing it. Ninety-nine people out of a hundred would. I open all the little balls, and I run my eyes over +hem. I see which is most carefully written, and I say that's the one. I've got a rapping machine in the leg of that table, and I make it rap. When you wrote the name of a real uncle I could tell you. When you wrote a lot of nonsense I couldn't. While you are going over the alphabet, I palm the little ball back on the table. If I have made any mistake, I soon find it out when you go over the alphabet, because if the name is Harry you are sure to hesitate when the pencil comes over the letter H.' You are sure to do it—fact ; though you don't know it. And I've got my eye on you."—The Genie Showman.,ts SIR RODERICK MIIRCHISON.—'\'e have authority to stale that Sir Roderick Murchison, in expressing his most grateful thanks for the solicitude shewn by his nume rous friends for the restoration of his health, feels it necessary to modify an announcement which appeared on Saturday in the Athenceum, that he would be soon com pletely restored and able to attend • to public scientific duties. Although very considerably improved in health, thanks, to the skill of his friend Dr. Bence Jones, some time must yet elapse under the most favourable circum stances before he will be able to attend to scientific duties or to correspondence. THE WAR. THE SIEGE OF PARIS. (BY BALLOON MAIL.-FROM THE SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE CENTRAL PRESS.) PARIS, December 20. A despatch has been received from M. Gambetta announcing the successful retreat of General Chanzy in presence of Prince Frederick Charles's army. This, though merely a successful strategic movement to the rear, has put us in good spirits. It was, in fact, more than we expected. When news arrived of the defeat around Orleans we felt that any moment might bring the additional intelligence that a Metz or a Sedan had followed. We have become so used to these tremendous calamities that an indecisive defeat is regarded almost as a victory. But Chanzy has evidently got clear off, and he has shewn such fighting qualities during his retreat as augur the highest hopes of the future. This commander has risen to a prodigious reputation here. Trochu and Ducrot sink into insignificance for the time. Chanzy, unknown until now, is regarded as the man who will save France. The preparations for a sortie in force are completed, and to-morrow is the day fixed for the attempt. Suc cessful or not, you may expect to hear of heavy fighting again and again from this time. The plan of the commanders seems to have changed. Instead of attempting to break out in overwhelm ing numbers, they now propose apparently to assail the German lines in all directions, keeping them con stantly employed, and so allowing no reinforcements to be sent to the field armies of Prince Frederick Charles or Manteuffel. It is upon the provincial armies that we yet rely. They are greatly superior in numbers to the Ger mans, and have the advantage of the open country, whereas we have to attack strong positions. So henceforh you may look out for constant meltes. Several of the war battalions of the National Guard , have marched to-day in readiness for the sortie to- morrow. The mortality during the past week-11th to 17th—was 2,728, an augmentation of 273 on the preceding week. Smallpox remained stationary, 91; typhus, bronchitis, and pneumonia increased. It must be borne in mind that the population of Paris is larger now than before the war; it is now calculated at 2,300,000. _ _ The Eastern Question has been much discussed here. We are disappointed--charitable people—that there is not to be a war, which could hardly have failed to turn to the advantage of France ; but the Confer ence is better than nothing. There is some expectation that an armistice, with or without the revic tualling of Paris, will be concluded, and that the question of peace will be smuggled into the deliberations. Any how France will be represented. There was no thought here of holding aloof. It is true that the Frenchman will have to sit at the same table with the Prussian, but possibly the other diplomatists will prevent them from coming to blows. To he unrepresented would be to forfeit tho position of France in Europe, which is not quite lost yet. Moreover, the Ministry hold that the presence of aßepublican diplomatist will amount to a virtual recognition of the Republic. THE CAMPAIGN ON• THE LOIRE. CHANZY'S RETREAT. A very favourable account of General Chanzy's opera tions is given by the correspondent of the Standard : I hear that the French have fought admirably during their long reteat, and have lost no guns with the exception of one battery of six pieces at Vendome, and this was lost by the disgraceful conduct of the officer in command of it. He is to be tried by a court-martial, but at present he is not to be found, having judiciously absented himself without leave. The Prussians were repulsed with tre mendous loss at Vendome, but Chanzy's men were in such need of repose, that he decided to continue his re treat, breaking down all the bridges in his rear so as to reorganise his army at Le Mans previous to taking the offensive ; that this was absolutely necessary you will allow when you hear that not a single report has been made as to the strength of the various regiments and corps for the last 14 days, so you may imagine the con fusion that reigns at present. However, everything is fast settling down into its place, and stragglers rejoining, so that in ten days the army will be ready to move for ward once more, and this time, I think, successfully. HARD IFIGEtTLKO AT LA LOUPE. Some of the fighting in the Loire country was very severe. Specially was this the case at a position between La Loupe and Bretoncelles, The Cologne amicele says the French were very strongly posted. We marched out in close columns, as the narrow pass through which we had to march was peculiarly unfavourable to any enlargement of our front. And then the enemy commanded the whole of the pass from the heights beyond Bretoncelles. Our artillery was completely prevented from operating ; but, notwithstanding all these difficulties, the advance was persevered in. After the barricades that had been erected along the line of march had been thrown down, the front was enabled to extend itself on either hand up the heights for the attack. The valley widening out after a while, the artillery was in a position to place two of its guns. We went forward with a loud hurrah, but the reception was too inapresgive, our infantry being received by an uninterrupted fusillade, supported by grenades and shrapnels. Behind each hedge and prominence cover was sought with infinite care, and thus the advance was rendered possible. At length even the favourable position of the enelfy was rendered available to bring the engagement to an end. The bulk of the brigade advanced, and the pioneers, too, took part in the combat, although they could expect little result from there being so unfavourably armed. They pushed themselves forward, however, between the ranks of the infantry, and with a shout rushed up the heights towards the enemy, who was chased from his positions. The village itself was the principal scene of the pioneers labours, whence the enemy was soon dislodged. Each house was searched, and occasionally a little butchery ensued. A HINT TO THE RIOTERS. M. de la Rhoellerie, a French country gentleman, the nephew of Cavaignac, has written an indignant letter to the editor of the Reveil, one of the most violent of the Red Republican organs in the capital. He him self has come to Paris to. assist in the defence. Twenty years ago he was the Prefect of the Republic in the Department of Finisterre, and hearing of the attack on the National Assembly on the 15th of May, he armed a steamer and came up at the head of his Bretons to defend it. After an interval of twenty years he has found his old volunteers of '4B among the Breton officers of the Mobile at the Hotel de Ville and there, too, he found his old antagonists, older, more faded, but not reformed, still young for disorder and lage. There are now in Paris twenty thousand Bre tons, Normans, residents of Anjou and Poitiers, who are fully determined to get rid of the Prussians, within as well as without Paris. "Continue if you will," he adds, I" to do Bismarck's work in sowingldissension in thet ranks of our defenders, and insulting our generals. I the Government tolerates you, that is their affair, but we advise you not to venture in the streets and repeat the attempt of October 31." A. GOVERNMENT INQUIRY. The Patrie says that Gambetta has condescended to decide that a committee of inquiry should be immediately opened at Bordeaux to examine into the circumstances attending the capitulation of Metz and of Strasburg. Strasburg and General Uhrich ! Finding no longer anyone to immolate for his breakfast M. Gambetta has fallen upon General Uhrich, and he who was two months ago proclaimed a hero is now in his turn suspected. But it matters little. We also desire an in quiry, but we donot wish it to be composed of relations, of allies, of associates of the Minister of the Interior, and of war. We do not wish it to be restricted to examining the capitulation of Metz and Strasburg. We want an inquiry conducted by men appointed by the country; in a word, we want a council of inquiry appointed by a national assemby. Among the_points to be examined must be the following : Whether Metz and Strasburg, which were not assisted, could have been assisted ; whether the safety of the armies was not compromised by . the false statement that Ducrot had broken the Prussian lines ; whether the Dele gation of the Government did not bring about the evacua tion of Orleans by inducing General de - Paladines to make a movement which, without this false intelligence he would not have ateinpted,whether the eamp of Conlie was not destroyed by the abrupt dismissal of M. de IC6ratry ; and whether, by constant suspensions, bur lesque nominations, perpetual accusations of treason, and the elevation of notorious nullities to superior ranks, the soldier has not been discouraged, the army disorganised, and the present situation of France produced. But un less the committee emanates from universal suffrage there can be neither judges nor defendants, neither accused, condemned, nor acquitted. The three hundred and fifty thousand French prisoners in Germany are beginning to give trouble. They were pacific enough until proclamations bearing the signature of the French Government found their way to the for tresses ia which they are detained. since then some have tried to escape, and many others evinced a mutinous disposition, necessitating the proclamation of martial law to keep them within bounds. Somebody has written a Christmas parody on King William's pious proclivities. It begins— " There's twenty thousand French laid low; Thank God, from whom all blessings flow." Better preparations have been made in Paris for the removal and treatment of the wounded. On the 2nd many a brave man who might have recovered from his wounds lay out all through that bitter, night, and was found dead next day on the frozen battle-field. A correspondent, writing from Autun, says :—" We are curious to know what is the real fate of General Werder. From Berlin direct, as I wrote in one of my last letters, came the official telegram that he had been ' killed under the walls of Autun by a bail aimed by one the legio naries of Garibaldi.' " The French have some reason to complain of the unfair ness of newspaper correspondents in sending reports exclusively favourable to the Germans. Thus, the other day, it was said that no contribution had been imposed at Dieppe, and that a Prussian soldier had been barbarously murdered in a wood. The reverse of these facts are the case. A contribution was imposed, and no Prussian soldier was murdered. GARIBALDI AT AUTUN.—The Daily News corre spondent writes :—Autun may now be said to be in a very tolerable state of defence. I have just returned from a visit to the fresh fortification works, and assuredly the time and money expended since our return from Dijon have not been spent in vain. Batteries, redoubts, con tinuous earthworks form an ensemble that look quite reassuring, and you recognise at once Garibaldi's own hand in their erection. His eye lights at once on the best positions, and it is probable that he would have even extended his labours had not the scant material and net too numerous troops compelled him to limit his defensive projects. The inhabitants of Autun are evidently frightened and displeased to see their quiet, studious city reduced to a sort of fortress, and they know enough of the General by this time, to realise that he means fight and no pretence, especially as he is reported to have said to some one who observed to him that the Prussians would probably invest Autun, " Well, if the Prussians bombard the city, we will send the inhabitants to the forests ; " which meant, of course, that he' would allow the Prussians to burn it to the ground rather than yield. GERMAN PRISONERS IN FRANCE.--A German paper gives the letter of an English resident at Pau, for whose respectability and veracity it vouches, describing the treatment of the German prisoners there. They were mostly captured in and near Orleans on the recovery of that city by the French, and number from 900 to 1,200, the majority being Bavarians, and 200 or 300 being sick or wounded. The first batch, of 50 or 60, were placed in the hospital of the Jesuit College, under the charge of the Little Sisters of the Poor. The next batch of 300, chiefly sick, were at first put in the cells and corridors of the prison, no preparation having been made for their reception, but nine of them were soon removed to an ambulance erected by French Protestants for French wounded. Madame Km uger, the wife of the Protestant minister, takes temporary charge of them, and being in formed by a Dutch ambulance surgeon that those still in the prison were ready to die of hunger she visited them. They had' been four days on the way from Orleans to Pau, and had had nothing but dry bread and water. These typhus and dysentery patients, some covered with frightful wounds, crawled to her, to get some thing warm to drink. Only after great trouble, the Pre fect and other authorities being very apathetic, was a house obtained, in which 22 wounded were placed. Mrs. G., an English lady, hired at her own expense another house, which accommodated 14. "Ah, oui," say the French of us English " ils ne le feraient pas pour des blesses Francais." All have' now beds, the prison and the barracks being both used, and great improvements have been made, but things are still bad enough. NEWS FROM INDIA. We have received the mails, via Brindisi, from Calcutta and Bombay. We extract the following heads of intelli gence from the Bombay Gazette of December 3rd: — His Highness the Gaekwar of Baroda nied suddenly on November 28 ; his brother Mulharao, who has for several years been a prisoner, succeeds.him. In the Viceregal Legislative Council, on November 25, the Indian Penal Code Amendment Bill was passed. The act has received the assent of the Viceroy. , Mr. W. Robinson, C-5.1., of the Madras Civil Service, has been appointed Madras member of the Legislative Council of the Governor-General. Mr. Hayward's body has been found, identified, and buried. His Highness the Holkar has agreed to advance a loan of a crore of rupees—a million sterling—for the construc tion of a railway to Indore. The Lieutenant Governor of Bengal has sanctioned the expenditure of 25,000 rupees, if required, in order to ensure " the manufactures of Bengal being worthily represented at the forthcoming Internationel Exhibi tion." _ _ _ The harvest prospects of Oude are said to be excep tionally good.. Prices of grain are steadily falling. The week to be spent in Oude by his Excellency Lord Napier of Magdala will most probably fall between the 14th and 21. st of December. It is his Excellency's inten tion to visit both Fyzabad and Seetapore. His Excel cency was at Ranee Kbet on the 26th ult. His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of Bombay and staff are to leave Mahableshwur for Poona on the 9th instant, and to come to Bombay. His Excellency will embark for Kurrachee on the 12th on a tour of inspec tion. _ _ His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of the Madras Army intended to leave Madras on the Ist Lust., accom panied by the adjutant-general, quartermaster-general, and two of his Excellency's personal staff, for Beypore, proceeding thence by steamer to Cannamore. After in specting the troops at that station he will come to Bom bay en route to Kamptee. Major-General Tremenheere, now engineer in chief, will be appointed resident at Aden in succession to Major-General Sir Edward Russell, K.C.5.1., whose services have been placed at the disposal of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. It is understood that Sir Edward Russell will be ap pointed to the command of the Northern Division. It is officially reported that cholera is subsiding at Punderpoor. A very painful occurrence is reported from Edwardsa bad (Bunnoo). The assistant-commissioner and an officer of the garrison were walking in the neighbourhood of the cantonments ; and, having crossed a wall to enter a field, were stopped by the proprietor, who grumbled at the trespass. His manner appeared insolent to the as sistant-commissioner, who struck him on the side of the head with a stick. The native died almost immediately after. Inquiry is being instituted. AN EDUCATION BILL FOR lIRELAND.—A question which is beginning afresh to occupy atten tion in Ireland at present is that of education, and people are askin ,, what the Government are about to do in t he matter of" an Irish Education Bill in the coming session. Is the national system to be maintained with its present form of administration, conducted in such a manner as to be practically opposed to the principles upon which the scheme was founded, or are we to have a system undisguisedly denominational ? Another point of no little importance is that of the position of the teachers, who, in Ireland, are not even so well paid as the teachers in England, and who are beginning to complain again of not having been properly considered. The English Education Bill having been passed last session, that for Ireland is naturally expected to follow as speedily as possibla, and no sign seems as yet to have been given as to what is proposed to be done on some of the most important points of the subject. LADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway ' s P lll s. — Let t he Sick to e Heed.—The stomach is the commissariat of the phy sical system. It furnishes the material sustenance of every organ. If disordered, the whole body languishes ; but however severely affected, its tone and vigour may al ways be restored by a course of these irresistible pills. Bilousness, indigestion, liver complaints, and other dis orders of the stomach, can easi l y be cured by the use of Holloway's Pills. Thousands attest this assertion, and no sufferer having once tried them will deny their supreme efficacy. In every case of stomach disease, from the mildest case of dyspepsia to the horrifying concer, from the nausea of the free liver to the vomiting accompanying ulcerated stomach, these pills immediately relieve, and generally cure.
