TOE LIST OF THE CONFEDERATE BONDHOLDERS.
—The Nev York Times of October 19 says of this now
notorious list :—" Everyone here ksows that the state-
ment, whether spurious in pert, or spurious in whole, was •
transcript of • document toned in the archives of the
Confederacy. The original is now in possession of the
authorities at Waehington. Whatever may have been the
object of those concerned, the list, by its date and by sup-
porting evidence of an indisputable kind, is Confederate in
Its origin, and only belongs to-day to the State Department
by the fortunes of war. This mock we smart on authority
which is altogether unquestiouable."
The Lawrence (Mass.) American tells a story of
the marriage in that city of a maple, the bridegroom being
from Wino:main, and the bride • resident of Lawrence.
Immediately after marriage the lady told bar newly wedded
husband that she was unworthy of him, giving reasons
which emphatically proved the statement ; said she loved
another ; that she was coerced into the marriage and would
not live with her busband, and the two thereupon parted,
the lady meantime being formally disowned by her parents.
A letter from Constantinople of the 21st ult.
says :—" Our theatrical season has commenced. A new
French theatre has been arranged in a building known as
the Falai, de Cristal. The lenses are Americans, and a
troupe of nearly forty performers from the minor Paris
theatres have been engaged. The piece* which appear os
the programme for the MY= are as usual of a rather broad,
or shall I say equivocal, character, suited to the peculiarly
low moral tone of the plass. The Italian theatre, the lessee
of which is also an American, has opened with a dramatic
company of rather a better elms than the French. A new
air chantant on a large male will be opened this week, so
that visitors to our city will not this winter have to make
the complaint they usually do—that this is the dullest
plus a stranger can pass an evening in."
The incumbent of St. George's, Battersea and
Niue Elms has called • meeting at the Parsonage for to-
morrow evening, to consider what steps ought to be taken
to help the bereaved and the other sufferers. " I have jut,"

are heartrending iodeed—windows and frames blown out,
furniture destroyed, partition walls broken, and misery
everywhere."
