The House of Representatives apparently is not altogether satisfied with its own work. The much vaunted Reconstruction Act, even in the estima tion of Congress, requires some amendment, and a slight, though not very effective, change has been passed, providing that only a majority of those vot ing, instead of a majority of registered voters, be necessary to ratify or reject the new State Consti tutions in the South. There will be probably greater changes before long in the Act and its ap plication, for the States, both North and South, have had nearly enough of Radical policy. The PRESIDENT has sent a message to the Senate communicating General HANCOCK'S order announcing that the law in hi 3 district will be en forced, but that the habeas corpus and right of trial by jury will not be crushed, the civil courts upheld, and the rights of the people respected. The PRESIDENT, in his Message, compliments the General on the tone of his order, and suggests that Congress should publicly recognise it. Mr. JOHN SON is no doubt anxious to obtain some public re cognition of this more moderate system of Southern government. The military officers in so m an y parts have overridden the civil rights of the people that so temperate and constitutional an order from a General in command is something marvellous. We have by this very mail a sample of the temper in which the Government of the South is too often conducted. The Georgia Convention has recom- mended General POPE to remove Governor JEN- KlNS—another of those acts of arbitrary interfer ence which have so completely shaken the public confidence. This news, however, is brought by the New York steamer from New York, on the 19th ult., and since then the Atlantic Cable has told us that General GRANT has removed both Generals POPE and ORD from their commands —so that by a rare incident of poetical justice the fate destined for the civil governor has fallen to the share of his adversary. The financial situation continues to en gross a good deal of public attention. Scheme after scheme is introduced into Congress, diszuss3d, " laid over," or " reported." The latest remedy proposed is by Mr. SIIER3IAN, from the Senate Finance Committee, providing for the funding of the National Debt in Forty-year Six per Cent. Bonds, principal and intertst being payable in coin, redeemable, at the option of the Government, after 10 years and free of taxation. lie would also autho rise the Secretary of the Treasury to issue Forty, year Bonds to the amount of $500,000,000, the interest to be payable in coin at London and Frankfort, to b 3 redeemable at t'ae option of Go vernment after 20 years. This Bill has also been laid over till after the holidays, but it is quite evi dent that during this session some decisive measures will be taken to remove the prevailing uncertainty and depression. The most effectual means to re store public prosperity will be the improvement in the political tone, and in this respect, at least, we see already a change for the better. America has, iu fact, never fully paid her reckoning for the war; excitement and speculation have prevented the people at large from being sensible how much it had cost them. Now the inevitable reaction has come, the taxes press heavily, enterprise is checked, and confidence dis couraged. It is quite time that all parties addressed themselves in earnest to the task of rebuilding and consolidating rather than of destroying and disor ganising, as the Radicals still seem anxious to do. 7. ao .:r.

Even in Bengal the permanent settlement is con sidered by the highest authorities in England and in India to have been an economical error. The same result might have been attained in a better way, in which the State should have considered not only the interests of the tenants, but also those of the community, in the soil. Where the land is not the property of the State, as it was in India, the fee simple must be acknow ledged somewhere, and the possessor of that fee simple must be treated as a free agent. He must be at liberty to sell, to lease, to let, or to cultivate the land as he chooses. We have no interest at stake in Ireland to justify an invasion of this prin ciple. Parliament has it in its rights to see that land is not abused for political purposes. It can even deprive it of political value. For the general good it may encourage the granting of leases, and give a title to compensation for permanent improve ments. These remedies, and above all the creation of peasant proprietorships, will in time settle the Irish land question. A sudden sweeping settlement at once just and beneficial is impossii.de. The fact, however, that a man like Mr. HUGHES should pro- pose, and a paper like the Spectator endorse one, has an obvious moral for our legislators to do what they can and do it quickly. In the audience given to him by the Emperor Napoleon yesterday, Count von der Goltz, the newly accredited representative of the North Ger man Confederation, spoke as, follows :—" Called upo❑ by the Federal Constitution to represent the Confederation in its international relations, the King of Prussia eagerly desires to maintain and clevelopemore and more the relations cf good feeling and confidence between France and the Confederate States. This desire is at the same time conform able to the sentiments of sincere friendship which the King entertains towards your Majesty's person, and the orders of the King prescribe to me to fulfil my functions in that spirit." The Emperor replied :-- "In notifying to me the new functions with which you are invested as the representative of the Confederation of the North, you renew the assurance of the friendship of the King of Prussia. I thank you for it. On my part I embrace the opportunity with pleasure to confirm the good undetetauding existing hetwpnn the twn Govern ments. I beg of you to be the interpreter of my sentiments to the King. Having been able to ap preciate the high qualities which distinguish you, I do not doubt that you will continue as hereto fore to exert all your efforts to maintain between the two countries that friendly understanding which is the pledge of their prosperity and a guarantee for the peace of Europe." Count von der Goltz was afterwards received by the Empress. BOURSE, Dec. 31, Three o'clock. .-The market closed as follows : 4i per Cent. End of month...

Old field, attached to the Pacific squadron, had been on shore in the channel leading into La Por, but was got off on the following day without, it was be- lieved, having received any very serious damage. At the departure of the mail the Malacca was at Mazatlan. The Topaze, 31, 600 horse-power, flag ship of Commodore R. A. Powell, C. 8., second in command of the Pacific squadron, had proceeded to sea from Callao under orders for Valparaiso, at which port the Mutine, 17, 200 horse-power, Com mander H. M. Alexander, had arrived from a short cruise. The Reindeer, 7, 200 horse-power, Com mander E. Name, was stated to be at Tobago, but was expected shortly to proceed on a cruise. A fatal accident had occurred on board to a seaman gunner, named Thomas Rodgers, who during the night ac cidentally fell overboard from the topgallant fore castle, and was drowned, although several of the sailors jumped overboard and dived for him. The Clio, 22, 400-horsepower, Capt. N. E. B. Tumour, had arrived at Callao. The Pacific Steam Naviga tion Company's steamer Panama, arrived at Pana ma, from Valparaiso, on the 29th of November, bringing the mails and passengers for the French mail steamer which left Colon on the let ult. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer Payta arrived at Panama, from Valparaiso, on the 4th of December, bringing no news of interest. She re ported that Surgeon Archibald L. Arthur, M.D., of the Clio, had been examined by a medical Board, and had been invalided home. The Northern Evening Express reports a frightful boiler explosion at South Shields yesterday morning. The boiler was attached to a flour-mill, the property of Mrs. Tony Waller, of Westoe. It appears that about half-past eight o'clock, while the mill was in full operation, the boiler situated in the engine -house at the rear of the building suddenly burst. A loud report was heard, and instantly the engine-house and the property adjacent was laid in ruins. The boiler in the concussion was forced out of its socket and sent with great violence into the air. Great excitement prevailed when it was known that some of the workmen were buried beneath the ruins. Two men, named respectively John Smith, 18, and Robert Ridley, 17, employed in the glass-works ad joining, were blown into a field on the opposite side of the railway. The poor fellow Smith was found to have been fearfully scalded all over his body. Ridley had sustained a serious gash on the head, as if he had been struck by something while blown through the air. Meanwhile, the work of overturning the ruins in search of others pro gressed vigorously, but for a considerable time without any results. A pony cart, however, was dug out of the d6bris. The horse was found to be alive, but the cart was partially demolished. Some idea of the violence of the explosion may be learned from the fact that at the time of the accident the pony was standing yoked in one corner of the yard adjoin ing the engine-house, and when found the cart was lying upon the top of the pony in the middle of the yard. Those in the glass-works were next inquired after, and on all the names being called over it was discovered that a boy, named Robert Bens on, was missing. On its becoming known that one of his hands had been seen among the bricks, the most intense excitement prevailed, and the spot was speedily surrounded by excited spectators. In a few minutes more the poor little fellow's lifeless body was lifted from among the debris frightfully crushed and mutilated. The destruction caused by the explosion is something dreadful. Situated between the mill and Mr. Johnson's glass-works, with a strongly-built engine-house enclosing it, some idea may be gathered of the havoc wrought by the bursting of a boiler under such circumstances, and the destruction of property that would ensue. Boiler and engine -house have not only been destroyed, but a great portion of Mr. Johnson's glass-works have been blown down. A tall chimney, between fifty and sixty feet high, connected with the engine-house, has also been laid level with the ground. The force of explosion must have been terrific, the main portion of the boiler having been carried into a field, on the other side of the railway, about 400 yards from the mill. The boiler was blown into three pieces. The bottom part was carried about 500 yards off, while another piece of it has cut a depth of three f our feet into the earth. It appears to have been lit': torn to pieces. DEATH OF MR. T. P. TEALE.—Mr. Thomas Pridgin Teale, an eminent consulting surgeon at Leeds, died at his residence at that town on Tuesday, aged 67 within one day. The deceased held high rank in his pro fession, being one of the Medical Council, and also one of the Royal Medical Commissioners. He was likewise a Fellow of the Royal Society. His illness had only been of short duration, and his death was somewhat unex pected. The French Government is about to bring forward a bill for granting to the Minister of the Interior the sum of three millions of francs. A portion of the amount will be distributed amongst benevolent institutions, and the remainder will be employed in subsidies for communal works. The Legislative Body will also be asked to place in the hands of the Minister of War a credit of 400,000 francs . to relieve the necessities of the Algerians who have suffered from the late cholera visitation. Doyle, and John Leech, who pourtray the vices, the foibles, and the folly of the people of their day, have not a particle of cynicism in their genius, but teach their lessons of wisdom in the kindliest spirit. They provoke us to laugh at snobs, humbugs, false pretenders, and fools —whether in high life or in low —but they never attempt to instil misanthropy, They handle humanity as gently as Isaak Walton did the worm, and love even while they impale it." Immediately after this paper, which com prises within it a rarely-deserved tribut e t o t h e wittiest and subtlest of all modern cynics, the Due d e l a Roche foucauld, we have a thoroughly charming a n d delightful magazine trifle—a love-story, related in a man ner that has about it all the effervescence and sparkle of champagne— " What I did at Belgrade," it is called ; "by B o b Con dD iaasbaon always l u s welcome , say we, is thi s samein Bob Charles I f n Leverot— ne ant v r w voice more marvellously mimicked.

Whoever may be the writer of them, these Ame rican papers recently appearing in 2iTaga are of sufficient . . freshness and value to admit of there being eventually collected together, as we cannot but hope they will be, for separate publication. 111011 WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE.

His animated narrative is accompanied, by the way, this month by a most grotesque illustration. Not so is it with the novelist contributing the companion serial—" Jack the Giant Killer" —this January instalment of the tale being embellished with a charming drawing, entitled " Waiting for Papa" —a drawing in which we know not whether to admire the more, the little children confront ing each other, or the kindly expression of the womanly face looking down at the wee one who is "waiting." There are some more suggestive " Chapters on Talk," a bold and trenchant political argument, wonderfully cipropos just now, entitled " Liberty and Anarchy," by Mathew Arnold—a retrospective review of those marvellous old-world novels of " Samuel Richardson ;" and, to crown this far more than average number of the Corn hill, a his torical narrative, by an eye-witness, of " Garibaldi's Last Campaign." Macmillan.—The author of "Friends in Council," the au thor of " The Heir of Redcliffe," and Professor Fraser, lead off Macmillan for the new year with their contributions. Charlotte Yonge's consists of four more chapters of her current serial story, " The Chaplet of Pearls ; or, the White and Black Ribaumont." Arthur Helps's consists of as many additional chapters of his thoughtful and sug gestive " Realmah," while Professor Fraser's paper is a disquisition upon " The Philosophical Life of Professor Ferrier." Besides a dialogue, an idyll, and an essay, Macmillan contains within it this month a pearl of price to all lovers of literature, in the shape of a hitherto un published letter of Sir Walter Scott's—a letter dated the 29th of April, 1814, and written at Abbotsford. IRELAND has a bog for statesmen in its land ques _ Mr. Frederick 13. Row, writing in the Times, gives an illustration of the hardship of the terms imposed on the Spanish bondholders. His wife's father bought £3,145 of Passive Stock, some thirty or forty years ago, as a bond fide investment. The trustees have no power to make the conversion insisted on by the Spanish Government. They can simply sell, they cannot invest in foreign stocks. The capital, therefore, after making no return for thirty-two years at least, is now wrested from them by the high handed conduct of the Spanish Government. So much for the present basis of Spanish credit. The New York correspondent of the Daily News states, on "excellent authority," that the fee' ings toward England of General Grant—about whose election to the Presidency the writer thinks there is little doubt—are not of the most amicable kind. It is even hinted in some quarters that he desires the Alabama controversy to be kept open, for ,he holds to the opinion that soon or later America and Eng land will be forced into a conflict, if for no other purpose, for the purpose of settling their relative positions, of de ciding once for all what their relative political strength is ; and he thinks the sooner the struggle comes the better, and that the Alabama case is as good a cause for it as any other. These views, it is stated, are causing some anxiety in New York. , „ _1[7,792,965 117,463,C61 tion, capable of swallowing up any number of poli tical rep u t a ti ons, and of involving inextr i ca bl y any number of theorists. Mr. THOMAS HUGHES has been the last to attempt the perilous subject, and it will be well for him if, like BUNYAN'S Pilgrim, he come out at the right side of the slough. The proposal of the member for Lambeth is, per haps, the most thorough-going of any yet made to solve the Irish land question. It consists essentially in converting the rent now paid to the landlord into a fixed and sole condition of tenure. That rent he regards as the landlord's right in the soil. Its full value should be ascertained, and it should be secured by an Act of the Legislature. But the tenant, he argues, has also a right in the land. In Ulster and some of the other provinces that right is acknowledged, and LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1868, Considerable excitement has been occasioned by the capture of so:ne Fenians in Wales, among whom is said to be a head-centre. Eight men in all have been taken and charged with treason felony before the stipendiary justice. PATRICK DORAN, the supposed head-centre, has come from Ireland, where a warrant had been issued against him. These men were employed in the ironworks or manufactories in the neighbourhood. Fenianism n Wales is something new, and shows that the mischief has spread far and wide, and that The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. John G.

Since the com mencement of the present session the Moral Philosophy class has, with the sanction of the Senatus, been taught by Professor Fraser. The late Professor Macdougall was for a good many years teacher of moral philosophy in the Free, Church College, and in 1852, on the demise of the emu tent Professor Wilson, he was chosen to succeed him as Professor of Moral Philosophy and Political Economy. —Edinburgh Courant. the occupier often sells the goodwill of his farm for seven of eight, and, in favoured cases, as much as twenty years' purchase. This right, however, rests wholly on " aracious custom." Mr. HoonEs t Decreasi "Nobody," in a letter to the Times, points out that it is by the free use of money that a safe passage through Africa will be best secured for the Abyssinian expedition. The African love of gold is inordinate, and any covenant having gold for its basis is sound and indissoluble. The writer knew a chief who walked 400 miles to recover £2. One Quamina owed him that amount, and being shot in a hunt by one Coso, the chief came to the conclusion that the dead man's debt ought to be discharged by the person who had slain him, and he took the walk referred to for the purpose of compelling him to produce the money. If, argues " Nobody," Colonel Merewether will only persist in arranging with the heads of the different people through whose territories the British force must pass, that they shall receive a certain sum monthly or weekly for freedom to the English from annoyance, and will further take care that the money is punctually paid, no fear of treachery, rapine, or murder need trouble his mind. In another portion of his letter, " Nobody," referring to the fact that Debra Tabor has been burnt by the King, points out that arson ,is a grand African military feat. The regal monster of Abyssinia is trying to reach Mag dala, not for strategic purposes, or for defence, but to burn it. Colonel Merewether should therefore hasten to Mag dale by forced marches. The chiefs of Abyssinia would attach themselves to his standard the moment he arrived. The troops he has with him would be quite enough for the work, for he need not anticipate the faintest resistance from an enemy in arms. African battalions don't like the " open." The shot which may slay comes fitfully and singly from "the tempting covert," from "the sweet scented shrubs," where the birds preen their gorgeous tallMitgea • - The articles in Colburn's Magazine are, as usual, short, numerous, and varied. Neither tale, nor description, nor argument is maimed by prolixity. The number opens with an opportune chapter on Abyssinia, historical and descrip tive. This is followed by " Deepdale Mystery," which is carried through three chapters of Part 12, the last of them one of the very best in the series. "About One's First Night at the Play" recalls the importance of the epoch in the lives of a long rdle of illustrious personages when began their experiences of playgoing. How Charles Lamb was inspired with " Artaxerxes," and Schiller neglected the classics for the Ludwigsburg Theatre, and Chateaubriand was stupefied with the first play he beheld at St. Malo are well told. Mr. Cyrus Redding writes vigorously on the " Death Punishment," and the "Fenian Assassinations." While strongly urging that the punish. ment of death is inconsistent with the Christian code, this writer considers that Mr. Hardy rendered a service to the nation in carrying out the law on the Fenians as it stands. Archdeacon Wordsworth is taken to task for having preached a sermon in favour of capital punishment founded on a text which equally forbids the eating of blood. Otherwise the author would plead nothing for the Fenians ; in condemning them he has, one would hope, exaggerated the spirit of revenge—bad as it is— in the worst examples of Irish character. Of the other articles, "The Ghost of Stanton Hall" will satisfy the lover of mystery ; " From Hawaii to England," and " With the French in Mexico," will please those who like travel ; and the clas sical archmologist will complain, perhaps, that " Wander- ings through Italy in Search of its Ancient Remains," by Craufurd Tait Ramage, LL.D., is so transient a notice. But this is a feature of Colburn that gives its reading the racy flavour. The writers who economise time and space generally produce most. The number before us is a suffi cient illustration of the position. Belgravia.—The purchasers of the Christmas number of Belgravia must be as insatiable as the daughter of the horse leech if they be not contented with the variety of tales is contains. The ball is opened with a couple of chapters of Miss Braddon's " Dead Sea Fruit," a story .which it is pleasant to feel is less absurdly sensational than most of that lady's writings. So far none of the characters have met with a violent end orproved themselves graduates of the lowest criminal schools. This is saying much, seeing that the 18th chapter has been reached. " Diana Gay," by the author of "Bela Donna," is also continued, and increases in interest. To these must be added " A Great Ball and a Great Bear," by Babington White, of " Circe " noto riety, " The Queen of the Realm of a Thousand Delights," by Charles Smith of Cheltnam, both only mediocre stories ; " Two Christmas Eves ;" an article on Marriage Settle ments ; " The Ghost's Summons," by Ada Buisson ; and the conclusion of " Lost Sight of," a tale of Corsica, by Astley H. Baldwin. Mr. Walter Thornbury chats in his usual happy way about Hyde Park, and Mr. Sala tells how an over-reaching continental hotel-keeper was brought to his senses by a Grand Duchess. Of poetry the only pieces deserving notice are " Music and Melody," by Mortimer Collins, and " He Stoops to Conquer," by H. Saville Clarke.

RASSAM. We have been favoured with the following ex tracts from a letter written by Mr. Elormuzd Ras. sam, dated Magdala, the 28th of October :—" We learn fro,n different letters just arrived from the coast that her Majesty's Government intend to ap point Sir William Coghlan to the commaad of the expedition which is to be despatched to Abyssinia to effect our liberation. I sincerely hope that such is the case, and, assuming the intelligence to be true, I lose no time in communicating a scheme which, if carried out, will materially assist the General in his dealings with the native Christians. The Metropolitan died here in prison, on the 25th inst., from disease of the heart, and the Abyssinians are consequently left without a spiritual head to ordain priests and deacons, and to consecrate their churches. According to the rules of the Abyssinian Church, the Metropolitan, or Abuna, must be a Copt, and must be consecrated to the office by the Coptic Patriarch filling the See of St. Mark, in Egypt. I feel confident that the Coptic Patriarch would consecrate a new Metropolitan for Abys sinia, provided that the Egyptian Viceroy gave his consent, and I fancy our resident Consul-General could readily obtain that. In my opinion the pre sence of a metropolitan for Abyssinia, accompany ing the General in command, would remove many of the difficulties which are likely to arise from our invasion of the country, as the Abyssinians are a very superstitious people, and regard their Abuna in the light of an Angel sent from Heaven. When our army enters Abyssinia you may rest assured that many Jesuit priests will follow in its wake, and the' fact of an Abuna being with our people will inspire confidence among the people, and render abortive all the intrigues which will be set on foot to instil distrust regarding our object among the ignorant and fanatical, tender this advice, whatever officer may eventually be selected to command the expedition, for I feel confident that the mere fact of the Abuna being with the English, and under their protection, will be a great security against the attempts which will be made to intimidate the peasantry, and which, if successful, will prevent them from coming for ward to supply the force with provisions, and from proffering their manual services, both of which will be very much needed by the invading army. Since I last wrote, in the beginning of September, diffe rent rebel chiefs have been reported as coming to invest this fortress; but thus far nothing has come of their boasting. Menilek, the young new King of Shoa, has proclaimed that he intends to attack Mag dala, and he is expected to reach this place with an immense host about the end of the week. I fear that this rumour will prove as groundless as many others which have preceded it. One thing is certain, there is uo power at present in Abyssinia able to capture this fort from without, unless aided by treachery CAI the part of the garrison. For the la7t two mouths the Emperor has only been able to communicate once with this place, through a secret messenger, the whole country between this and Debra Tabor being in a state of great anarchy. A messenger whom I sent to the Royal camp has been missing for a long time. I heard of his departure from Debra Tabor, but he disappeared the day after he left the Royal camp, and/ have learnt nothing of him since. The messenger who came from the Emperor three days ago brought me, as usual, a private message from his Majesty, stating that the cause of his pro tracted delay was owing to a great mortar which he had had cast and which he found much difficulty in moving. The messenger left the Emperor at Aibaukob, about two days from Debra Tabor, on the way to Magdala. But this kind of rumour has so often proved false that we hope to be left alone until the arrival of the British force."—Pall-mall Gazette. 21IE OXFORD. The reception obtained by Mr. C. W. Mackney, on Monday evening, was of a very enthusiastic character. He had been long':absent from the Ox ford, and he received the greeting of an old friend. Mr. Mackney occupies a peculiar ground of his own, and it is in the versatility of his performances, rather than in the crowning strength of any parti cular exhibition of talent, that he excels. Some of his old songs are so telling that he finds it to be superfluous to substitute others for them the addition of a new verse here and there being sufficient to impart the necessary freshness and point to accepted favourites. Mr. Mackney, as of yore, plays, sings, and dances equally well ; and, after his long absence from the metropolis, his performances are very agreeable. In " The Whole Hog or none " he referred to Mr. Charles Morton's establishment of the modern music-ball, and to his early professional co operation with him, and otherwise inter spersing this and his other songs with little sallies of Yankee humour. Mr. Mackney's changes of c-.)stume are extremely rapid; and dur ing the half hour that lip occupied the stage he gave a great variety of impersonations. At the close of his performances, and in response to almost inter minable demands for repetitions, be feelingly al luded to the warmth of his reception, and to his desire to please in every way during his brief en gagement.
