THE STARRY BANNER.

LLOYD'S, 8.C., D.c. 20.
The loss of the Starry Banner steamer in the
Atlantic reported this morning in moat of the
daily journals (the partioulars of which are quoted in
another column), is believed to be a hoax. No in-
formation of the character has been received at
Lloyd's, and on reference to the American Lloyd's
list of Shipping no such steamer as the Starry
Banner can be found, and letters received from
their agents from Boulogne up to 12 o'clock last
night make no allusion to forty-two of the sur-
vivors having landed at that port on Sunday.

RELIGIOUS SUICIDE.

HORRIBLY incongruous as the words are, it has
often been necessary to conjoin them, and it is
necessary once more. We are told by the reporters
that somewhere in the provinces (it is not pleasant
to be too precise about anything so very painful)
a married woman, with a goodly family, has
strangled herself because she could not live
under the pressure of the idea which had
taken possession of her, that she had com-
mitted the sin against the HOLY 01108 Tor,
or, as the reporters phrase it, "offended
" the HOLY °non." The first misfortune is, that
religious teaching should be in such a state in
this country that now-a-days any human being
can possibly get the idea of such a sin into his
head. But that is a gigantic mischief which we
must have. There is another, and a more vul-
nerable evil, namely, the extreme ignorance, the
dulness of observation, and the weakness of
imagination which fails to find the right prescrip-
tion for the commencement of all such cases of
" fixed idea." The great point, as in so many
cases of chronic illness, is to break the tradition
before it becomes too strong; in other words, to
divert the mind by as near an approach to a coun-
tershock as the case admits. How much have
the young suffered, and how much do they still
suffer at the hands of parents and guardians who
do not know that, very often indeed, all the lec-
turing and admonishing and praying and thrash-
ing expended upon a fault which the poor child
appears unaccountably inclined to go on repeating
is just the very process to make him repeat it ; to
turn a half-hysteric impulse, or something put
into his head over and again by a playmate or a
servant, into a Axed idea. In the same way,
when a person has got into his head that he has

TEE LATE GALE.

WORTHING, Deo. 28.
Yesterday morning a vessel, which turned out
to be the brigantias ilitens, 170 tons, from St. John's,
Newfoundland, was observed off Worthing with signals
in her rigging for assistance (writes Mr. W. H. Demon).
A gale from the south-west was blowing, and there was a
very heavy sea on at the time. In a short space of time
theY/orthing lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institu-
tiiadtehe Jane, was afloat, and the Mena was quickly
r Four of the crew of the lifeboat were then put
on board the vessel, and she was safely taken into the
port of Shoreham.
ABERIsrwMI, Deo. 28.
The following additional particulars of the ser-
vices on Christmas Eve of the Evelyn Wood lifeboat belong-
ing to the hat:kcal Institution are now forwarded by Mr. .T.
Williams. He states that after the crew of three men of
the smack Castle had been rescued by the lifeboat, and
when the state of the tide permitted, efforts were made to
save the vessel if poefalk. Six men were accordingly
placed on board, and they endeavoured, with the help of
those on shore, to get the vessel in, but it noon became
evident that their efforts were quite ineffectuaL In
reaming the man from the wreak, which was fast breaking
up, the crew of the lifeboat had to use almost superhu-
man efforts. The swollen state of the river, on account
of a high flood, and the fearful breakers on the bar, made
it satiric of extreme denw, and before the whole of the
man could be brought from the wreck. the Mehra had

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(mow am OWN CORIUSPONDINT.)

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Among the few papers that appear on this New
Year's-day is the ultra-imperialist journal the Pays.
It inaugurates the new year by an article signed
"Paul de Cassagnac" (the son of the editor—that
Granier de Cassagnac who two days ago boasted,
and his boast is yet uncontradicted, that he had
intimate personal relations with M. Roulter). M.
Paul de Cassagnac exhorts the Emperor to cease to
be good natured to his enemies—the legitimists,
Orleanizta, and republicans ; and, that no doubt
may remain as to what he means, calls for the
withdrawal of the bills born on January 19
last year promising liberty of the press and a cer-
tain very limited amount of liberty for people to
assemble together. The article represents the
Emperor as " soft" when he says, " Venite ad me
°nines," because those he calls upon will only cone
to him to upset him. The Pays desires plaintively
to represent the Emperor's old uncompromising
and devoted servants, who think it hard that for
one lost sheep of doubtful fidelity the ninety and
nine who need no repentance should be
neglected. The article concludes by saying
that enough and too much has been done for un-
grateful Paris, and that the Emperor, great and
strong as he is, should, with a view to the interests
of his young heir, abandon all attempts at compro-
mise with treacherous liberalism, and devote him-
self entirely to propitiating universal suffrage in
the provinces.
The number of deputies fixed by the decree of
yesterday is 292, being nine more than the present
Corps Legislatif. The nine departments which in
consequence of a recognised increase in the popu-
lation get an additional member, are the Aude
Cher, Finistere, Gironde, Herault, Isere,
Jura, Orne, and Pyrenees Orientales. Why Paris,
whose population has notoriously increased, should
have no more members than it had twelve years
ago is a mystery of mysteries. M. Haussmann's
famous argument that there are no Parisians in
Paris, but only wandering tribes or " nomades,"
cannot account for it, for that would go to prove
that Paris should have no members at all—a con-
summation which by the way some ultra-impe-
rialista are quite prepared to advocate.
The new year's holiday has been favoured with
a fine sunny frosty day. The snow which threatened
yesterday has not come down. The Skating Club
is in a state of great excitement, and unless •
sudden thaw comes, the members may show their
skill and their new uniforms to-morrow.

" Dear Sir,—My wife's relation, Kr. Tertius Paget,
is a candidate for South Leicestershire. I don't wish to
ask whioh way you intend to give your influence nor do
I intend to interfere in any way. From something that
was said to me last time I was in Leicester by a gentleman
whom I met, I gathered that it was thought that Ton had
some personal feeling against Mr. Paget. I said that,
from what I knew of you, I did not think that in such a
matter as this you would allow any private feeling to
actuate you for one moment. I write to tell you this, as I
think you ought to know it. I have known Mr. Paget for
many years, and he is a great personal friend of mine ;
but it is his wish, and I am sure it is mine, that every
person should judge for themselves. As you know, my
father never interferes with any of his tenants in political
matters in any way. I hope you will regard this merely
as a private and frieudly note. lam very sorry I have not
been able to, go to see you for some tone.—Very truly
yours, Joss W. Mame."

fortunately, to a certain extent, I have pledged myself. If,
however, I hear from you that it is your wiab, I shall be
glod to show my appreciation of your kindness to me by

be adbrded ter issuing tho writs to supply these
twenties, and to assure both bones that after a
imitable recess they might preened to the eonsiderit-
- Lion of such matters as would then be laid before
them. The Lind Chancellor, who was introduoed
.by Lord Romilly and Lord Chelmsford, took the
' oath and his seat !re Lord Hatherley; and then
their lordships adjourned till the 11th of February.
Owing to the pecuhar circumstances of the present
moment, the moving of the writs in the House of
Commons was not so merely smatter of form as is
usually the ease ; and in order to avoid opposition,
Mr. Ayrton, to whom the task had been entrusted,
found it necessary to explain that he should move
the writs only in eases where the time forpoti-
timing had elapsed, and where no petition claim-
ing the seat bad been presented. Several writs
were moved and ordered without opposition. The
mention of Mr. Gladstone's name was received
with cheers from the ministerial side of the house,
while when Mr. Ayrton read out the words " the
Right Honourable John Bright" a slight titter
ran along the conservative benches. When the
writ for London was moved, Mr. Ooldney raised a
slight difficulty by objecting that a petition had
been presented against the return of Mr. Ooschen,
and that the house had no official information as
to whether it did or did not claim the seat. At
the same time be admitted that he was personally
aware that no each claim was made. Sir R.
Palmer, who was greeted with cordial cheers,
pointed out that all the house required was infor-
mation from one of its members, and that after
the statement which Mr. Ayrton had made, the
mere fact of his moving this writ amounted to a
declaration on his part that the petition against
Mr. Goschen's return did not claim the seat. Mr.
T. Collins, whose re-appearanoe in the house did
not pass unnoticed by his friends, was for issuing
the writs, whether the seat was claimed or not ;
and after Mr. Ayrton had, in the most perfectly
official manner, deprecated further discussion,
the motion was agreed to, and no further question
arose upon the issuing of the writs. A host of
notices were given for the early days of February,
and after a few members had taken the oath the
house adjourned till Tuesday, the 29th inst., when
the remaining write will be moved.

REJECTION OF THE TURKISH ULTIMATUM

BY ORFICS.

According to a telegram received in London yes-
terday afternoon, dated Athens, Dec. 12, the Greek
government has refused to comply with the con-
ditions of the Turkish ultimatum, and • frigate
• bad been despatched to Constantinople to fetch
home the Greek minister. Enthusiastic demon-
strations bad taken place before the residences of
the English, American, Prussian, and Russian am-
bassadors. Telegrams received at Vienna from
Constantinople announce that the Turkish minister
left Athens on Monday. and that the Greek
minister, with several resident Greeks, left Con-
stantinople Oa the same day.
The following telegrams have been received
through the Router agency:

PARIS, Dia 16, Eviornro.
The Public of this evening publishes a telegram
from Athens, stating that a change of ministry is
likely to take place there. The Menden, asserts
that the Great Powers continue to agree as to the
steps to be taken to prevent a conflict between
Greece and Turkey.

8112102,T, Dec. le.
The Weser Gazelts publishes intelligence from
Berlin which states that the representatives of
France and England at the court of Vienna have
beenmetsuctod to represent to the Austrian
government the dangers to which its attitude in
the Bask exposes Ilse pesos of Europe. It is
added that the recall of the Austrian ambassador
at Constantinople is connected with this action of
the French and. English ministers at Vienna.

VIENNA, Die. 15, Evasive.
The Oficial Evening Pod publishes an article
in which it takes note of the tone, full of hostility
and animosity, employed by the Pruisian semi-
official press when speaking of Austria. The ar-
ticle proceeds to allude to the news said to have
been telegraphed between Paris and Berlin, re-
specting representations alleged to have been
made to the Austrian government by the repre-
sentatives of the Western Powers on the subject of
the Austrian policy in Itestarn affairs. This sews
it stigmatism se a malicious falsehood, for which
there is sot even the shadow of a possible via-
understanding as foundation, no step having been
taken either by the cabinet of St. James's or the
Tuileries which could admit of any interpretation
of the kind.

FRENCH AND ENGLISH FASHIONS.

Pious and London are now so near—distance
in these times being counted like the German
posting-stages, by hours—that the fashions of the
French capital—always the Queen of Fashion—
are transported to the British shop window with
an almost electric rapidity. Nor does this
rapid transmission of tastes and modes be-
tween the neighbouring countries—so near
and yet so far—apply to tke mysteries of the
toilette only. It is perceptible even in that
most obdurate department of British industry
and prejudice, the kitchen; and is especially
conspicuous on the stage, and, indeed, in all our
places of public amusement. The misfortune is
that each country is apt to borrow from the other
the worst instead of the beet of its peculiarities..
To be sure, the attempt to convert our cobs
and cabhorees into " roast and boiled" rebelled
too strongly against the honest British love of
animated horseflesh to be crammed down our
throats in the disguise of curiously denominated
kickahaws. But our taverns are being turned into
" restaurants," and at all our dining-houses a very
greasy and hideous imitation of the French entree
is daily perpetrated under our noses, and the
good old name of " side dishes " (awful combi-
nations !) survives only in the depths of the
country. Our Rotten-row riders are not likely to
take to the velocipedes which, in the Bois de Bou-
logne, are found to be so susceptible of a very
liberal and pronounced afternoon undress.
But as our lively neighbours have revived and
given a brilliancy and a coquetry all their own to
these absurd machines, which may still be seen
sometimes near our provincial towns ridden by
ahopboys, so we, or rather our theatres
and music halls, have in deference to a
rising demand introduced into the regular
ballet, a French sanatory performance, which in
Paris is only known to the very light foot and
very irregular horse of the casinos and the
dancing gardens. There is no harm in this,
except for those who seek and who find
harm wherever they go. Every now and
then we have a good wholesome outburst
of hype:rimy, and vindicate the character of a pre-
eminently moral nation ; as when the real &code
Ihodiesse de Oireistein come over to us and
teaches in how to combine the wit and frolic of
look and giniar• with • certain reserve, and lath-
