The following is from the Paris correspondence. of t he economist of to-day :—" A singular action was 4 few days ago brought before the Tribunal of Corn tierce. Mr. Laing, M.P., .Sir Drummond Wolff, and two or three other English capitalists, together with Mr. .Erlanger, banker.of Paris, represented that they had, sometime ago, sent Mr. Merton, who is well 'own on the Paris Bourse, to Constantinople, to obtain for them the operation of converting the Ottoman debt, and to make for them certain financial c ombinations ; and they confided to have a large sum of money, £BBO,OOO, it was said, for the purpose of securing the co-operation in their 'projects of influ ential personages of the Turkish Government. It was understood that Mr. Merton was to dispose of this money according to his discretion, and not give any ac count of it. But circumstances had occurred which made t hem desire an account, and the, prayed the tribunal to order that Mr. Merton should produce one. Mr. Merton represented that the terms of agreement be tween him and the plaintiffs did not permit the action to be maintained. The tribunal held that what the parties had done was 'contrary to morality and public order,and that a conventio n which had fur its fo undation the accomplishment of an illicit act was I ' llll in itself,' and could not be maintained in a court of law. The action was accordingly dismissed." The latest return of the traific upon the Scinde - tailway, that for the week ending 15th December, B Llows a ve r y mar k e d i ncrease .

EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT. —John Carter, cashier, who has been for fifteen years in the service of Messrs. Laird Brothers, shipbuilders, was charged before the Birkenhead magistrates, yesterday, with embezzling upwards of £BOO. The examination showed that the prisoner had been a defaulter for several years. He stated that he had been induced to take the money to eke out his salary, which was at first very low, hoping in time to make good the deficiency. Some of the money had been spent upon houses in Chester -street, Birkenhead. Mr. J. Laird, jun.., said that his firm did not wish to press the case hardly against the 'prisoner, as he had been a long time in their service, and he asked whether it could not be dealt with summarily. Mr. Preston, the stipendiary magistrate, said the amount was too large to justify him in dealing with the case summarily, and the prisoner was committed for trial. Mr. Laird said that for several years Carter had been receiving • a salary of £lBO ner annum. RAILWAY ACCOUNTANTS. —We are glad to be able to announce that the attention of the directors of the leading lines of railway has been directed to the necessity of adopting some improved and uniform system of presenting the accounts of railway com panies. The chairman of the Midland Railway stated, at the meeting on Wednesday, that the accountants of the great companies were now con ferring together to devise some better form of accounts, so as, if possible, to give them greater similarity in plan, and thus render them more valuable for the purpose of comparison. We have reason to believe that the next half-yearly accounts will show the result of this eonference.—Railway News. ALLEGED RAILWAY . CARRIAGE ASSAULT. —On Thursday,. a young man named 'William Owen Jones, who is the son of a large farmer and an articled pupil to a solicitor, was charged laefore the magistrates at Corwen, with indecently assaulting Mrs. E. Edwards, the wife of a watchmaker in the town. The com plainant was travelling in a second-class carriage on the night of the 10th instant, between Denbigh and Ruthin, and the defendant was her only fellow-pas senger. Some time after the train had started, the lefendaut, it was alleged, began to joke improperly with Mrs. Edwards, proposed an • elopement, and at length, after taking various slight liberties, assaulted her as complained. At Gwyd delwern, a roadside station, he left the train, as he was courting in that neighbourhood ; but being told by the station-master that "a certain party was at Corwen," lie re-entered the train, though he took his seat in another carriage, and travelled to Corwen. On the one hand, it was alleged that the complainant reached home in a greatly disordered state, and complained of ill-usage at the hands of the defendant ; while, on the other hand, it appeared that, with one exception, she did not complain to any of the company's servants. A railway policeman, who lodged with the complainant, stated that on arriving - at Corwen she complained to him of having 'been treated in a " dreadful way ;" but she did not name any person. The' . case. was adjourned to THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVEN!' G, FEBRUARY 22, 1868 SHARE LlST.—This Day.

CHAPMAN V. CHAPMAN. This was a suit instituted by the wife to obtain a judicial separation, on the ground of various acts of cruelty. • _ _ Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Searle appeared for he plaintiff, and Dr. Swabey and Mr. Pritchard 'or the defendant. Mrs. Chapman, the petitioner, said that she was married to the respondent some years ago, and that he was a stoneyard-keeper in Brighton. He during her pregnancy in 1859 tried to per suade her to take medicine to procure a miscarriage, and as she would not, he rolled her on the floor, and she told him she knew what he did it for, and what was likely to be the consequence. On one occasion he drove her out of her bedroom into another, where there was no bed, and telling her she was always thinking about a doctor, and that no decent woman would have one at all. She was in her night-dress, and it was bitterly coil. He then called her back again. On the last confine ment he insisted upon the doctor being dis missed two days after. The doctor said that this was improper behaviour, and added that if anything occurred he would be responsible. In 1862 she had a bad knee, and told her husband that she ought to have a doctor, but remarked that she was too fond of the - doctors. The doctor attended her a fortnight or three weeks. Her hus band's behaviour was very bad to her during that time. He used to employ very strong language against doctors. In 1866 she told him that she required the doctor again. He said that she should not have a doctor, nor should she show her knee to him. She went to one, and her sister, Mrs. Hart, went with her. Sae did not tell him about the knee. Her sister told him, and he said he should like to- see it, and she showed it to him. She told her husband, and he said that he would kill her, and dash her brains out. He would not let her go to bed, and swore at about two in the morn ing that he would never sleep with her again, as she had shown the doctor her knee. His conduct after became so violent that she went to Mr.Stuckey, a solicitor, and then returned to her sister, Mrs. Hart, and did not go back to her husband again. The respondent had often said that he would kill the children. He was then in a violent passion. The.case was proceeding when we went to press. bPORTIiVG OPIIVIONS. THE NOTTINGHAM HANDICAP. Sporting Life. The list of sport is a full one, however, compris ing as it does Nottingham, Tuesday and Wednes day ; Derby, Thursday and Friday ; and Windsor Steeplechases on the two latter days. Mr. Brad field, although no longer the handicapper at Not tingham, is still indefatigable as a Clerk of the Course, and his labours will doubtless be rewarded by a prosperous meeting on the two days, the chief feature of the progratntue being of course the Not tinghamshire Handicap. Of the forty-six original subscribers, seven have paid forfeit, leaving thirty nine standing in, and on looking over the weights, the representatives of Matthew and Joseph Daw son's stables appear the most formidable, as there is such a very moderate lot of horses entered, and whichever they go for will most likely finish first and second, their most dangerous oi - ponmts being Edinburgh and Three per Cent. Sportsman. For the Nottingham 11 tudicap Indigestion will have to carry a penalty of 10Ib, which raises his weight to 9st lib, and therefore he ought to be beaten by Artesian, Bst Gib. The latter meets Indigestion on 111 b better terms than when they ran at Lincoln, and this ought to insure Artesian now having the best of it. At present I have the greatest fancy for Master Willie and Artesian. (Bell's Life.) The Nottingham Handicap, one mile and a quar ter, is of primary importance, and o ug ht t o crea t e plenty of interest, the 101 b penalty incurred by In digestion effectually steadying him, for he meets Leases, Artesian, Midwife, Feodor, Vigorous, Grey Stocking, Cauthleen, Belzoni, Ligurian, and Redi vivus on from 81b to 171 b worse terms than he did at Lincoln. If Cauthleen be worth only a very small percentage of the money she must have been backed for to become such a favourite last Tuesdaj, she ought to carry this off ; neverthe less, we cannot believe in her, and would far s)oner plump for one of Joseph or Matthew Dawson's, or Lord Westmorland's, could it be determined what their best may be. J. Dawson has four to choose between—Knight Errant Artesian, Numa Pompilius, and Othello—and any one of the quartett will be good enough to follow. It would take the best of his brother's bunch to beat even the top weight, Knight Errant, who does not concede too much to Silenus, Speculum (penalised 51h), Con ' tempt, or Innerdale ; Whilst Othello and Numa Pompilius give thelight-weighted three year old but 71b. Lord Westmorland will be fortunate to find one better than Master IVillie, and should he carry the green and white there will be little beyond J. I)awson's for him to fear, only one of the latter trainer's light weights, Numa Pompilius or Othello, being likely to trouble him. :0 LOIS V IS hiEN'l' SEC UItT 1 6. tkittin Columbia, ti per cent., Dee. 31, 15,2....

The French packet has brought a fortnight later news from the Brazils and the seat of war in Para guay. Cholera, which is devastating the fair pro vinces of La Plata, is the all-absorbing topic of all the newspapers from Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. To add to the difficulties is the wide spreading discontent with the • Government of General Mitre. The insurrection at Santa Fe has so far triumphed, and Rosario is in the hands of the insurgents, the political opponents of the national Government. The war in Paraguay, which now for over three years has swallowed up all the resources of Brazil, the Confederation, and Uruguay is daily becoming more distasteful to the people, as notwithstanding all the sacrifices made in money and men, with a large army at command, and a fleet so large as to be ridiculous, as one of the native papers expresses itself, the Allies have been unable, up to the latest account, to win one solitary advantage, and are in such a perilous situation, that owing to the rise in the river they cannot retreat, nor can they advance, as they are still kept in check by Marshal Lopez, who hangs with his brave soldiers on both flanks of his enemies ; therefore the Allies cannot move without a hard fight, for which they are in no position. The death of Senor Paz, the Vice-President, and the revolution at Santa Fe have made it necessary for General Mitre to leave the army and return to Buenos Ayres to save, if possible, that province from the invasion of the insurgents, who are openly protected by Mitre's great political opponent, General Marquiza. The death of Senor Paz is called a Brazilian victory, as it forces General Mitre to leave the command of the Allied forces to the Brazilian commander, Marquis de Caxias, who the Brazilians expect will now be able to conquer Paraguay and make it a Brazilian province ; but, if not, has to return defeated, like his colleague Mitre. After our experience of the struggle going on in the River Plate, we suppose the latter will be the case. Every one in Brazil, as well as the River Plate, wishes to get rid of the war by some means or other, and the Buenos Ayres Standard hopes that the offered mediation of the United States will be accepted, and by that means the country saved. We quote the Standard on that subject as follows :—" The untoward and deplor able event which has suddenly deprived the Argen tine Republic of its highest magistrate by the lamented death of Don Maros Paz, and which has sensibly deepened the gloom hovering over this unhappy land, creates a situation which was never contemplated by the framers of the Constitution, and places the Government in a serious and awkward predicament, more particu larly in view of the critical circumstances through which the country is passing. It may, however, while aggravating the actual crisis, be perhaps the means of culminating that very crisis, and of occa sioning an unexp ec ted so lution to thei sanguinary and complicated problem of the Paraguayan im broglio. Although no ar dent partisans of the Para guayan war, foreigners are far from joining in the senseless cry raised for party and personal purposes, that all the evils that afflict us are to be laid to its door. Their causes lie fa r d ee p er , and are to be tracedto the want of energy for some time pa s t h ave swa yed the destinies of this and shortsightedness of those who country as much as to the antecedents and political regime of the country itself. But while impartial observers will be rea dy to confess that if the war was in its origin a necessary evil for which the Ar gentine Government was not responsible, but which it could neither disregard nor shrink from with honour and dignity, they will as readily admit that subsequent events and its very dura tion have rendered it in the sequel, an unmitigated nuisance, and the dictates of a sound and lofty policy do undoubtedly suggest the expediency of bringing it to an immediate termination. It is in compliance with these views that we have from time to time urged upon the belligerents the imperious necessity of making peace at any cost, and that we have hailed with sincere satisfaction the appearance of anything that seemed to open a door to a pa cific solution. The friendly step taken by the United States. Government of si m ult ane ously offering its good offices to the - various belligerents through its respective diplomatic agents, both from the cha racter of the mediator and the circumstances under which the offer was made, raised just hopes that a settlement of the questions pending between the belligerents might be arrived at through diplomatic negotiations, but as yet those hopes have not been realised. The history of the correspondence that took place on- that occasion between the Ame rican Legation and the Argentine Govern ment roust be fresh in the memory of our readers, and they will remember that Sr. Elizalde, the then Mini ster for Foreign Affairs, in his answer to the original offer of mediation made by General Asboth, said-1' The Argentine Govern ment is sincerely grateful for the friendly step taken by the Government 9f the United States, and, should the occasion arise, it would be happy to avail itself of such benevolent dispositions." Now, we that, taking f or gran t e d th a t the Government is as anx i ous as ever i n ljetmhnepitedihnatteiSiceatsaltltyesofsahYamty to lend its good offices to bring about a peaceful and honourable termination to this protracted Paraguayan war, the occasion mentioned by Sr. Sr. Elizalde has und o ubt e dly arrived, to be allowed to p ass ." and ought [ADVERTISENENT.) — Henceforth no one will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta, Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Fo od, s i nce to the thousands of blessings it has already received from I nvalids whose position had been now add that of hi s H o li n ess the Pope we eemn may y erfectly restored by it after thirty years medical treatment.

Ca L S IN successPA theextraordinary Emperor sent for him, in order to " encourage the young composer!" You might as well try to be made a Cardinal as to get a box for the next fortnight. While on the subject of the theatres, 1 may just mention that complaints have already reached me that late dinner hours begin to damage very seriously the more aristocratic theatres here. Nobody dines now before seven or half-past seven, and nobody over is punctual; and so, it is hard to get to either of the Opera-houses before the performance is at its last gasp The same applies, only in a greater degree, to the prose theatres ; and the French do nut like full prices for half performances so they stay away. The Parisians are, however, playgoers by nature, and it will be very long before the late dinners of the upper thousand in terfere with the receipts of the theatres; as was the case in London in the timo of our fathers. " Kean, ou Desordre et Genie," written by the Father Dumas for Frederic Lemaitre, and originally produced at the Varieties, in 1836, has just been re-produced at the Odeon, with a certain, but not entire, or even great success. Berton plays the part of Lcmaitre ; but seine of the audience remembered old times, and were not much pleased with his acting. The play has been much altered, but is yet, to quote M. Henri da Pene, "an absurd piece-- a sublime piece." A very crowded house, even for the Odeon, assembled to welcome back this early work of that first favourite for the race of popularity, Alexander Dumas ',tee, author, dramatist, Republican, chef (he is a very good one), destroyer of tyranny, and saviour of Italy— pand minlic—Corres.poridAt of Ow .Daily Zelegraigh .0 11. 18 23 23 24 30 is, +. tra to old ?er Lily to in 7ket IN ?" .liug nox, a of for ;fore was alty the ster f the A he 31111- d to aths. pup it 20 20j to 100 100 !Lb 10u 10c
