AN EXILE TO THE New YORK BAL.—Another
exile to the BMA shore I knew : who did not? Julius Clow
hardly owed more money than Cucedicus : and, gracious
powers ! Cucedicus, how did you manage to spend and owe
so much ? All day he was at work for his clients ;at night
he was occupied in the Public Council. He neither had
wife nor children. The rewards which he received from his
orations were enough to maintain twenty rhetoricians.
Night after night I have seen him eating his frugal meal,
consisting but of a fish, a small portion of mutton, and •
small measure of Iberian or Trinacrian wine, largely diluted
with the sparkling waters of Rhenish Gaul. And this was
all he had ; and this man earned and paid away talents upon
talents ; and fled, owing who knows bow many more ! Does
a man earn fifteen thousand pounds • year, toiling by day,
talking by night, having horrible unrest in his bed, ghastly
terrors at waking, seeing an officer lurking at every corner, •
sword of justice for everhanging overhie head—and have for
his sole diversion a newspaper, • lonely mutton-chop, and a
little sherry and seltzer-water? In the German stories we reed
how men sell themselves to—a certain personage, and that
personage cheats them. Ile gives them wealth ; yes, but the
gold pieces turn into worthless leaves. He sets them before
splendid banquets ; yes ; but what • awful grin that blank
footman has who lift' up the dish-oover ; and don't you
smell • peculiar sulpherous odour in the dish? Fetish! take
it away ; I wet eat.—" Roundabout Paper," in Cornitill

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

The December general sessions of the peace for the
county of Middlesex commenced yesterday at the Sessions-
house, Clerkenwell-green, before Mr. Bodkin, weistent•
judge, and a bench of magistrates. „,..The calendar is very
heavy, considering the short time which Laa elapsed since
the termination of the former selai.ms on Friday week—
there being 93 prisoners for trial, 82 being charged with
felony and 11 with misdemeanour. The state of educa-
tion of the prisocers was reported as lower than the
average, for amongst the number committed 19 could
neitherread nor write, 49 read and write but imperfectly, 19
could read ouly, and 5 were described as being able to read
nod write well.
The cases taken daring the day were not of sufficient

PIiI7BI3LL

A despatch from Berlin announces that the
Prussian chambers are to be convoked for the 6th.

-
Another !pooch of the King, in reply to an ad-
dress from a conservative deputation, has been
published. The following is the most salient
passage:
You hope that the crisis in which we live will be short.
I wish the beet success to your efforts, but I cannot share
your hope. I assure you, however, that whatever may be the
course of events, time will find me firm, and that I shall
oppose calmly and prudently the intrigues of parties. I ex-
poet also from you that you will labour to ameliorate the
disposition of the public, for the press does not act in that
way ; on the contrary, it abuses the liberty which has
been given to it so abundantly, and which has never
been restricted ; it causes an evil which well-meaning men
in the same Gelling have greet trouble in removing. All
that is said here is published, and I permit it ;but it is design-
edly misrepresented. can bear much, because lem above
parties. Bat I will e one WA which has profoundly
afflicted me. The Berlin press has so far forgotten itself
as to interpret falsely on the occasion of the speech of an
ecclesiastic the words of a canticle, which is in all months
and in all hearts. "It is God who governs us ; " as if my
person had been made • divinity. One would not have
believed it pcaible in Prussia so to distort things ; for
there could have been no other object than to make the
people believe that the King wished for such an inter-
pretation.
The diplomatic corps of Berlin met in conference
on Sunday, to deliberate upon a mysterious note
which appeared in one of the feudal journals in the
government interest, and which seemed to be an
indirect warning to them to abstain from all rela-
tions with journals hostile to Prussia and its
government, under penalty of a demand of recall.
This article has offended those interested, and
their senior has protested in their name to the
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

would have beheld one of her princes ascend the
Hellenic throne without regret, but she knows that

they would hinder the development of Greece. But
the candidature of Prince Alfred could not be
seriously put forward. The Morning Post, in
advocating this candidature, mocks us, Europe, and,
above all, the Greeks."

THE INTEILY4TIONAL XrHIBITION.

The work of clearing out the interior has made
very rapid progress during the last few days. On the
English half of the building, both from doer and galleries,
nearly everything has been removed, except, of noun, such
massive objects as the Skidmore roodscreen or the granite
obelisks, which still keep their places in the nave and trau-
septa. Minton's fountain also remains intact, but, water-
leas and silent now, is quite in keeping with the odd,
inanimate aspect of the whole interior. Most of the
trophy cases are in process of removal. very many have
gone ; even the timekeeper of the building and general
rendezvous for meetings and appointments—Benson's great
clock—has at last ceased to strike, and gene the way of
all the other clo.ks With the general removal, how-
ever, the tine proportions of the building, thus seen cam-
rotatively clear for the first time, become more striking
every day. On the foreign side, Portugal, Switzerland,
Hamburg, Mecklenburg, and Bavaria have entirely de-
parted, and Austr'i'a atilt:Dahl show is only represented
by a few costly articles which have been bought in
this country hut not yet delivered. Her very small
stock of unsold goods was removed from the
building • few days after the closing. France is
likely to be the last to leave the field, though
she has sent off more than 2.000 packages daring the last
fortnight—a very great amount of goods to get away in
such a time--an &vomit, too, which shows her ill success in
1 this market. No decision has yet been come to as to the
details of the final gala-day for the distribution of the
medals. To-day the commissiootra hold a bosiril meeting,
at which, at least, the hour for the ceremonial is likely to
Ibe named, if not the day itself. The former decision will
I net at rest the trench vexed question as to the nisixeisity of
i lighting the building with gas. With regent to the day, it
I is not now considered likely that the ceremony will take
plane before the beginning of February, when, from its oh-
; viotis convenience, Saturday is likely to be preferred.—

60/. ►-year from gifts, on certain occasion. of this character,
while the clergyman of the same place, charging the fee,
secures the name of being greedy for fees, makes his legal
demand, drives away the poor, and, perhaps, receives in
answer to his demand not one-third as much as the dissent-
ing preacher."

The semi-official Neue Preueeische (Stern) Zeitung

of Deputies upon the military budget.
The article commenting upon the speeches of
Herren von Patow and von Vincke bases thereon
a hope, strengthened by several incidents of the
debate, that the voice of moderation and reflection
has not been raised in vain in the house:

The Stern Zeitung adds, "that poeeibly even at a
late period of the debate the opinions of the
chamber, especially in reference to the military
budget of 1882, may be so changed ea to keep m
view not only the arguments an favour of the
ancient organization of the army, but also the facts
of recent date, by which those arguments have been
enfeebled."

A DOUBLE LAUNCH.

The somewhat unusual circumstance of the launch
of two ships from one yard in one day took place on Satur-
day last, at the yard of Mr. Charles Langley, at Deptford
Green Dock, Deptford. One of the ships is built of iron
and the other of wood. The one which is constructed of iron
is a beautiful large vessel with fine Hose, having a length
over all of 22t feet, length on deck 202 feet, and between

perpendiculars 200 feet ; breadth 32 :feet, depth of hold
22 feet 6 inches, tonnage 934 73.94, builders' measurement.
The thickness of the iron plate is 1246ths of an inch, with
• guaranteed tensile strain of 20 tons per inch. The
wooden vessel is of smaller dimensions, her tonnage being
498 63-94, her length over all 189 feet 6 inches, on deck
173 feet 6 inches, and between perpendiculars 165 feet ;

built for Messrs. Phillips, Shaw, and Lowther, of the City
of London, and are both intended for the China trade. A
little before five o'clock the tide then serving, the dog--
shores were knocked from under the iron ship, and she
slid gracefully into her native element amid the cheers of
the spectators, the ceremony of "christening" being per-
formed by Mrs. Phillips, who named the vessel " The
Reigate." The shipwrights then turned their attention to
the sister vessel, and in ten minutes or so they liberated her
from the dog-shores which bad held her, and she instantly
glided into the river, and with as much grace as her prede-
comer bad done, and as she did so she was christened
by Mrs. Shaw "The Kestrel." After the 'lunch
Mr. Langley gave a banquet to a number of hie friends
in the mould loft, a large and roomy building
in the yard, which bad been fitted up for the occasion.
" Success to the new vessels" wss drunk with much en-
thusiasm, and Mr. Langley, in responding, stated that these
two vessels made up the number of 70 which had been
launched in his yard since it was established some ten years
ago, and he added, with pardonable pride, not one of those
vessels bad been lost.

The one hundred and thirty-ninth festival of the

LATIET INTELLIGENCE.
A correspondent of die OpinionNotkonale, writing
from Turin on September 11, says :
I have just met Dr. Herts.'. He thinks Garibaldi's
wounds very serious, and does not share the optimist
opinions of the other medical men. The swelling continues.
sad yesterday It was judged sweessry to apply leeches again.
One need not be a doctor to know that a persistent swelling
twelve days atter a wound must be serious.
General Tarr, who has been to visit Garibaldi, found the
"old lion" smiling/6 usual, but very much thinner than he
was. Go3dness is the soul of this extraordinary maa. His
old generals would not follow him on this last occasion, bet
be receives them with as much affability as ever. He is
ncapable of hatred.
Another letter says that General Tnrr was asked
by Rattazzi to sound Garibaldi as to what form of
amnesty would be most acceptable to him, but
the mission entirely failed, as Garibaldi would say
nothing on the subject.
The Diritto, which some say is Garibaldi's organ,
calls more vehemently than ever for a trial.
The Independence says that the ball which struck
Garibaldi is fixed in the bone, and that amputation
seems to be indispensable. The surgeons are agreed
upon this point, but they hesitate to have recourse
to amputation on account of the general state of
health of the illustrious hero.

MA MEET&

COTTON 000D9.

NANCEIIB72II, JAN.
We have bad a better feeling in the yarn
market, attributable, no doubt, in • peat measure to the
pacific tone of the speech of the Emperor of the French,
and there has been more activity than on recent market
days, at a slight advance on the prices of last Friday.
There would probably have been considerably more bul-
lion bed not spinners asked so mach higher terms than
Wt week. It is thought that at the rates of butt Friday a
very considerable business could have been effected for all
markets ; but spinners in some cases have demanded an
advance of id. per lb. There wee apparently a disposition
amongst buyers for nearly all markets to operate, but they
have declined to give so serious an advance. An
advance of and in some came id. per lb.
has in many instances been paid to-day, and
a fair business has been done at these improved rates.
In the cloth trade there has been less activity than in yarns.
A telegram dated Calcutta, Jan. 10, giving an account of
a serious decline in the price of shirtiop and other goods
has had an injurious effect upon this market, which the
little excitementand higher prices of cotton at Liverpool
have not had the power to counteract. The amount of
bunnies dank small, but large offers have been made at
the rates current last week. The prices of last week,
however, were extremely low, and it now turns out that •
larger business was done at these rates than we. at the time
supposed, but to-day producers being compelled by the state
of the cotton market to demand lid. per piece more, bun.
ness has been checked. In a few cases it has been paid,
but generally speaking buyers have declined to give it, WA
the trade is very much limited. The home trade is said to
be suffering to a greater extent than has been known for •
long aims put. The returns of employment in the mills of
Manchester show an improvement, but there is reason to
believe that such is not the case in other plum.
Amongst other firms that are the largest employers of labour
in this district that have put their mills on short time are
the thews. Fieldee, of Todmordeu. It should be Doted
that in comparing the extent to which factory hands are
out of employment at the present time with 1858 and 1843
it is yet too early in the present crisis to judge from the yr
plkatime for relief to the Poor Law unions. It is not mud
to give the factory workers mush credit for saving weep

RUSSIA.

" Our correspondence from St. Petersburg,"
says the Nord, "states that, in Russia, the ques-
tion of finance, and the means of adjusting the
receipts to the expenditure, occupy attention. The
most direct expedient, which consists of augment-
ing the imposts, and reducing the chapters of the
budget which are not of absolute necessity, is the
mode employed by the Russian government. We
may expect from that system, if pursued with
ability and perseverance and combined with
the development of the industrial and commercial
resources of the country, excellent results, and a
termination of the financial crisis which weighs
so heavily upon Russia."
The Journal de St. Peterabounj publishes the
text of a ukase, making additions to certain taxes,
in consequence of the expenses of the govern-
ment being increased by the general advance in
the price of the necessaries of life. Among the
taxes augmented are the capitation tax, and the
stamp duties ; an addition of five per cent. is made
to Customs' dues on all import", except sugar, in
the Russian ports in Europe, and Turkish and
Persian goods by the land frontier and the port of
Astrakhan. This additional tax takes effect on the
Lt April in Europe, and Ist May in Asia. The
charge for carrying parcels is increased five copecks
(200) per pound ; and the postage of letters is to
be one-fourth more than it was.

MINES.-(THIS DAY.)

The mining market is rather inactive to-dal. I
Zest Caradon shares are quoted 294 to ;
Marks Valley, 21 to 10 ; South Prances, 112}
to 116 ; North Treskerby, 25 to 26 ; Bast
Cain Brea, 104 to ; Providence, 43 to 44 ; and
Wheal Margaret, 43 to 45. Great South Tolgus
have been dealt in at s 3 ; and Wheal Kitty (Uny
Lelant), 84.
The shares of the Great Northern Copper Mining
Company of South Australia are in request and
have improved, being marked and 1 prem. St.
John del Rey have been dealt in at 641.
While we see a number of companies brought out
for gold mining abroad, owing probably in a great
measure to the immense success of the St John del
Rey Mines, the profits of which have increased so
enormously, that the 11,000 shares have risen to
651 each, it is known to only a few per-
sons that we have a gold mine in this country
yielding considerable returns and profits.
The mines alluded to are the Vigra and Clo-
gs°, near Dolgelly. At • meeting of the
company held last week, the accounts showed that
the capital subscribed was 11,5601., and that 2,784
standard ounces of gold bad been sold for 10,8161.
17s. 2d., out of which there had been paid in divi-
dends last year 3,6751., and again 3,1501. (15a. per
share) last week, making a total of 6,8251 divided,
and leaving 1,646/. 12s. ad. in hand. The yield for
the last fortnight had been 1934 ounces, being an
exams of about 13 ounces on the previous return.
There are 4,200 shares, and it is said that transac-
tions have occurred at 201 per share.
The St. Just United Tin and Copper Mines are
about to be reopened, having laid dormant for
nearly forty years. At the time when the mines
Mopped they employed a larger number of men
than all the other mines in the district. The stop-
page was occasioned by the low price of tin, which
at that time was not more than 351. per ton. The
present value is about 751. per ton. The opening of
these mines at the present moment is creating great
interest in the county.
At the half-yearly meeting yesterday of the Oobre
Mining Association, a dividend of 1/. per share, free
of income tax, was declared.

AUSTRIA.

An article is published in the Wanderer of Vienna
entitled "Let us march to the East l" That
journal believes that the moment has arrived when
the heirs are about to divide the spoils of the dying
man, and invites Austria not to be the last at the
partition. In order to assure herself the best share,
she has only, the Wanderer says, to favour instead
of combating the Christian movement in Turkey,
and to hasten the moment of the dissolution of the
Ottoman empire. "The only state," says the
article, " that PM hope to be the universal heir of
the empire of the East is that which will have
known how to gain and to keep the confidence of
the Christian populations."
