DEPRIMTIONS BY THE CONFEDERATE

CRUISER SHENANDOAH.

By the arrival of the steamer BOO= at Plymouth
yesterday we have adviose from Capetown to
Jan. 12.

The United States steamer, Iroquois, 8 guns,
Commander Rodgers, arrived in Table Bay on the
9th January with a portion of the crews of the
schooner Lizzie M. Stacy and of the barque Edward,
both of which vessels were burnt at sea by the Confe-
derate cruiser Shenandoah, the men on board being
afterwards landed at Tristan d'Allatinha, from whence
they wiarbeksa by the Iroquois. In addition to the
above the folloerusg is a list of the ships burnt
by the Shenandoah :--Alena, barque, from
Cardin; bound to South America, with
coals ; brig Sumac, from Eneauct, to South
America, with a cargo of coals ; barque D.
Godfrey, from Boston to Valparaiso ; schooner
Charter Oak, fronsßcaton to San Francisco ; barque
Adelaide, with the Argentine flag at her peak, wu
boarded. It appears that the captain of the pri-
vateer demanded her bill of sale and transfer to
the Argentine government, which the captain could
not produce. She was then ordered to be destroyed.
After they bad broke up the cabin and poured tar
and turpentine over the floor, the captain of the
Adelaide spoke a few words to the privateer
captain, upon which he immediately ordered them
to repair what damage they had done, sad release
the vessel. It is said that she belonged to a friend
of the Confederates.

THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON CLERICAL SUB-
SCHIPTION.—The royal conunissiooeis, appointed some
months ago, to inquire into the subject of clerical subscrip-

Heathoote, Bart., through ill-health. They recommend—
first, that the decimations, subeariptiom, and oaths to be

PRINCE NAPOLEON'S BALL
(Isom ors owl cossmospair.)
PAM, StrIFDAT Roma.
PrintriFspoleon's much talked of boll came off
last niefifYi and more than fulfilled the anticipations
that weeq formed of it. It was not only the first
fite on a grand scale given in the Falai& Royal
since the death of King Jerome, bat the moat nu
cherche one, out of the Tuileries, of which there is
any record since the restoration of the present dy-
I
nasty. Twenty-two salons were thrown open, and
as several of them are not large, the
.1,400 invited
guests filled the rooms to overflowing. Everyone
at therm salons has a peculiar character of
its own. Several of them have only lately
been re-decorated and newly finished, and
were ,used for the first time on this mission.
The wbo is passionately fond of • the fine
arts, greatly added to the embellishments of
the historical Plaids Royal since his fathers de-
cease. The sculpture gallery contains busts and
statues of many members of the Bonaparte family
at mime ages. A best of Patios Napoleon taken
when he was three or four years old represents him
as a child of extraordinary beauty. A fine
group of three children perpetuates the out-
ward semblance of Prince Jerome (the deceased
brother of Prince Napoleon), the Primes
Mathilde, and Prince Napoleon himself in
their infancy. A statue of King Jerome's
wife bears a striking resemblance to Princess
Mathilde at the present day. In the middle of this
gallery is a remarkable model of a Roman temple
of the Greek school. One little room contains
busts of Napoleon I. at various ages, from 1780 to
1812 ; and also several chairs and other articles of
furniture taken from the room in which he was
born at Ajaccio, in Corsica, in 1769. A delightful
soft carpeted gallery, used last night as a passage to
the supper-room, is lined on either side with well
executed bronze busts of French celebrities—
Voltaire, Molibre, Racine, Boileau, &c. On
the walls of many of the salons we
recognise many modern pictures purchased by
Prince Napoleon ; among these are M. Moreau's
" Edipus and the Sphinx" in the Exhibition of last
year, M. Pile' battle-pieoe, representing Prince
Napoleon leading his division at Alma, and some
of K Gdrome's startling nudities. Mille. Rachel
must have been a favourite in the Patois Royal,
for we see her physiogomy frequently repeated in
statues, portraits, and fancy pictures. The best
portrait ever made of Beranger—that by Ary
&heifer—adorns this choice gallery. The forest
room of all—the most charming room that I ever
saw in my life, and one that with its
grand proportions, massive furniture, and
non-meretricious decorations suggests the favourite
morning lounging-place of some English duke in
a country-house, is the billiard-room. The one
billiard-table in the centre occupies but a small
portion of the area. Luxurious sofas, arm-chairs,
and solid tables disposed for comfort and conveni-
ence, are studded around. On one of these
tables I saw interesting albums, one of which was
filled with drawings by the Prineees Clothilde of
the prettiest town, country, and maritime
sites in Italy, with descriptions of them
in her own handwriting. Another con-
tains moat amusing colour prints of carnival
festivities in Italy ; this is a peewit from Prince
Humbert to his sister. A large folio contains en-
gravings representing the scenes witnessed by Prince
Napoleon in his excursion to the Northern Seas. The
Emperor and Empress came to the ball at 10, walked
about a great deal in the salons, stayed to
supper, and did not leave till o'clock. All the corps
diplomatique, with the exception of the Pope's
nuncio, who, as a matter of course, never goes to
balls, and (as lam told) the Russian ambassador,
were present. Besides ministers, marshals of
France, and a great many official per-
sonages, a vast number of literary and artistic
celebrities figured among the company. M. Emile
de Girardiu, who wart there, calls it the " fate of
intelligence."
It is understood in Paris that the Prince
Napoleon, with the concurrence of the Emperor,
took this opportunity to piece himself before the
public in a more prominent position than he has
hitherto done, and one in accordance with the
confidence reposed in him by the sovereign, who
has made him vice-president of the Privy Council,
and, as is supposed, regent, in case of the heir
apparent ascending to the throne while a minor.
The France, on the authority of the Europe of
Frankfort, gives the following sketch of K Drouyn
de Lhuys's note to the French ambassador in
Rome. It may not be verbally exact, but it agrees
too well with the expressions of the Afoniteur and
the semi-official press to allow any doubt of the
accuracy of its general tenonr

PARIS, SAVIMAT ETZNING.
The appeal of the "Thirteen" (14. Gamier Pages
and others), condemned for holding an electoral
meeting of more than twenty-one persons, was in
due coarse dismissed to-day by the Court of Cas-
eation.
M. Delesoluze, a commissary of the Republic of
184$, who was transported to Cayenne by the High
Court of Versailles, has just brought an action
against the Reties de Paris to compel the insertion
of his answer to an article of that periodicalaffinning
that the political transports at Cayenne and Guyana
were mostly a set of scamps desetving of no vym-
pathy. The court yesterday dismissed
the cam on
the ground that N. Delwin= was not speciflOally
named ; that, there;beint exceptions to the general
censure, he was not necessarily within the purview
of it ; and that the plaiutifFs letter contained violent
expressions, which justified the Revue di Paris in
refusing to insert it.
A hotly contested election for a vacant seat in
the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences has
terminated to-day in the nomination of M.
Cochin, a rigid catholic, by 17 votes, against
16 given to M. Bare" a ratlacrent of the

DEbats. The latter wee, according to ordi-
nary estimates of qualification, by far the
most eligible candidate, and at a peeliminary
meeting was unanimously reoommeaded for electionn.
But M. Guicot took it into his head to patronize
M. Cochin in the interest of the catholic, church,
and all the clericals having a vote followed M.
Guisot's lead. The Patric, of LIUMMUICS which
bad the first information of the intrigue that has
this day culminated in M. Cochin's election, revives
the story that M. Guisot, who has become unpopular
among his protestant co-religionists, is Moly
to become a convert to Bomanism, and it
adds the extraordinary canard, that the Pope
is prepared to make him a cardinal. No
cause that IL Gullet took is band ever
prospered. His patronage of the Papacy is alone
ominous for that institution, but if at the age of
eighty he were to accept a cardinal's hat, le com-
mencement de la fin might quite naturally be ex-
pected.
Itowdni had a very crowded soirée last night at
which be aeoompanied on the piano Madame Alboni
and Mdlle. Patti in a duet composed by
him expremly for them, called the Gitans."
The present pronounced the piece
a great success, and this verdict has the more
value, because some of the same authorities were
not enthusiastic the other day about a little song
annymied by the great maestro for Patti, and ,iehish.

singing-lesson seine of the Barbieri di liisiglia. It
was remarked that Rossini looked extremely well,
and played the piano with great animation.
