WESTMINSTER.

Samuel Gee, a private in the 3d battalion of Grenadier
Guards, was charged with creating a disturbance in
Brompton-square. He went to one of the houses and rang
the bell for the housemaid. As the ring was not instantly
answered, he broke the bell down. A policeman came up,
and, because he told him to go away, he violently assaulted
him. He was fined 205., or 14 days.

SPORTING NOTES.

The taste for sporting literature has increased materially
of recent years, and the public are no longer satisfied with
the bare records of the professional turf reporter, who fcr-

Overly told his story in plain unvarnished English, or more

familiarly and properly speaking, in unadulterated slang.
Like every other class, racing men have become more cul-

Rather more firmness has been perceptible to-
day in the market for the English Funds, although
very little business has been transacted, and the
rates of discount have tended upwards. There is
reason to expect, however, that money will continue
abundant, and as political affairs at the present
moment do not give rise to much anxiety, the quo-
tations are well supported. Consols are 92* it- for
money and the sth inst., and 922 for the April
account. The New Three per Cents. and the Re-
duced are firm at 921 K ; Exehequer Bills 2s. prem. ;
and India 5 per Cent. Loan remains at 1081.
Little activity prevailed in the Foreign Market.

to 321 ; Greek Bonds receded to 19/ ; ditto Cou-
pons, 8i; Egyptian are 961 ex div. ; Portuguese

The operations in the Railway Share Market con-
tinued limited, and in one or two instances prices
exhibited rather less firmness. London and Brighton
and South Easterns have declined 55.; and Great
Northern A Stock, 10s. ; Great Westerns, North
Westerns, South Westerns, Midlands, and one or
two others maintained previous quotations.
The Foreign and Colonial lines were without
material variation. Recife and San Francisco de-

BERLIN, JAN. 29.
The debate upon the Address in the Chamber o
Deputies closed to-day,
The President of the Council refuted the accuse•

tion that the Government was attempting to cum
plicate foreign relations for the purpose of diverting
attention from its difficulties at home.
The draught of the address, proposed by the
majority hostile to the Government, was voted by
255 to 68.

The minority is made up of partisans of the
feudal party, of the followers of Herr von Vincke,
and of Catholic members.

of a better understanding between Spain and Italy

taking place.
"The preliminary overtures for this purpose have
already been made."

For the Liverpool Steeple Chase, this being the day for de-
claration of acceptances, the betting was of that desultory
character that it is difficult to make quotations. 100 to 6
was offered on the field, and Master Bagot seemed to be the
favourite. The betting on Chester Cup proceeds but

Ttiis evening's Constitutionnel, alluding to the
congratulations offered by the English Government
upon the Emperor's speech at the distribution of the
Exhibition awards to the French exhibitors, adds :
Across the Channel England offers France a
hearty shake of the hand. Such striking tokens.of
mutual respect, an exchange of amicable words in
the name of two great nations, and an eloquent ex-
pression of friendship, are requisite to secure the
peace of the world and the progrsse of civilisation.'

material alteration has taken place in prices.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mile pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 1-10th dearer in Paris than in London.

By advice! from Hamburg the price of gold is 422 i per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per 41 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 163 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 48 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the
importation of gold from the United States.

THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND,

BRESLAU, Jan. 29 (Evening.)
The Breslauer Zeitung of to-day says :—" The
railway line was torn up by the insurgents at Petri-
kan again to-day. The communication being thus
interrupted, the train from Warsaw has not ar-
rived."

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 29.
The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day contains
news respecting the insurrection in Poland until

the 28th inst., which merely confirms the telegrams
already published.
The same paper says that the intelligence re-
ceived by the Government from all quarters is
favourable to the cause of order.
BERLIN, San. 29.

According to an announcement of the telegraph
administration, the telegraphic communicatioß
with Warsaw via Myslowitz has again been inter-

rupted.
News from St. Petersburg states that great tight-
ness prevails in the money market.
The Imperial Bank me kes no cash advances upon
securities, nor discount any bills.
The rate of discount has been raised to 6 per
cent.

THE REPRESENTATION OF CAMBRIDGE —W.
learn that Col. Adair has retired. Mr. H. Fawcett, who,
it will be remembered, was one of the candidates for Suuth-
Wark at the last election, has issued an address.
THE LATE DISEASE IN SHEEP IN WILTSHIRE.—
It will be remembered that when the late fearful
epidemic in sheep first made its appearance in Wiltshire, a
committee was appointed by the farmers of the county to
take steps to arrest the disease, and to inspect the flocks
that might be attacked. At a large meeting of the Society
for the Prevention of the Disease in Sheep, held at the
Town-hall, Devizes, on Monday last, the committee re-
ported that there was no further need for their services,
and the committee was thereupon dissolved. The farmers
generally expressed their thanks to them for their swim.

[HE SUN, LONDON FRE Y Mr;!;NING, JANUARY 30, 1861.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—Mr. Kinglake has charged the Emperor of
the French with cowardice. We are presented
with the picture of a greatly-conceiving man, who
becomes wan and " green" when his conceptions
stare him in the face as facts. I happen to remem-
ber the landing of Louis Napoleon at Boulogne. I
was in an Upper Town school there. I saw him
after he was taken, and I remember a calm, clear
face, and a gallant bearing. The gossip of Boulogne,
that ran high, never assailed the courage of the
man whom the Boulonnais National Guards cap-
tured under the heights where his uncle had as-
sembled his great army. Unlike many plotters I
can call to mind, Louis Napoleon never left his par-
tisans to brave the danger he originated, I have
a curious letter by me, which describes his views on
this subject. It was addressed to my father-in-
law, the late Laman Blanchard, when he was editor
of the Courier newspaper :

"17, Carlton•house-terrace, 17 Mai, 1839.

" Monsieur,—Je vois avec peine par votre correspondance
de Paris crvon vent jeter sur moi la responsabilite de la der-
nierc insurrection. Je compte sur votre obligeance pour
refuter cette insinuation de la maniere la plus formelle.
La nouvelle des scenes sanglantes qui ont eu lieu m'a

serail aussi le chef le jour du danger, et je ne le nierais pas
apres une defaite.--Recevez I'assurance de mes sentimens
diatingues. " NAPOLEON LOUIS BONAPARTE."

It must be conceded to the Emperor that he was
the head of every plot he concocted in the moment
of danger. Mr. Kinglake's inaccuracies and omis-
sions when describing the coup d'etat are as conspi-
cuous as his vindictive animosity when he is paint-
ing the "green" portrait of a man whose life has
proved his courage a hundred times.—Yours,

THE CONSCRIPTION IN FRANCE,

" One hundred thousand men," says a Paris
paper, speaking of this year's conscription,—.
" One hundred thousand men have just passed
under the regulation measure, and have heard the
President of the Board of Revision cry out, as each
moved on, 'Good for service.' One hundred thou-
sand families have received the terrible tidings.
For the first few days all is sorrow ; soon courage
returns to their valiant hearts. Is not Franoe a
nest of soldiers P"

No doubt, the army of France is worthy of admi-
ration, but while we are struck at the exactness with
which she turns out yearly her 100,000 youths, appa-
rently excellent in health and exuberant in spirits
—some of them already grasping in fancy the Mar-
shal's staff which they are to find in their cartridge-
boxes,—we do not notice the crowds which the
same Board of Revision have been forced to reject
as unfit material for powder to consume before they
can get at the number required. It is affirmed by
those who ought ito know the fact that the sickly,
the deformed, or those who are below even the small
stature of an approved conscript are far more nume-
rous than those who are declared fit for service. The
result of the conscription which is just concluded
shows that in this respect matters are still worse.
The War Department had been forced to lower by
a few centimetres the standard required for the old
regiments; and it is feared that if the numerical
amount of the conscription be maintained at ire pre-
sent rate a further reduction will become indispen-
sable.

This ogre, called the Conscription, swallows up
year after year the flower of the youthful rural
population. Those who are left behind are com-
paratively short in stature, feeble in frame, and
infirm. It is stated on authority, which has not, I
believe, been contested, that, out of 1,000 youths
registered as the contingent to be furnished by cer-
tain cantons, 731 were rejected by the Revision
Board as unable from physical defects to bear arms.
Napoleon I. used to boast that he had 100,000 men
to spend every year, and his incessant wars and in-
cessant calls upon the population to support them
have produced what we now %itness. To this, as
well as to the laws on the division of property, is
attributed the fact that the population for the last
ten years has stood still, where it has not actually
diminished, while that of other European countries
has increased.

returns to their valiant hearts. Is not France a
nest of soldiers ?"
No doubt, the army of France is worthy of admi-

which she turns out yearly her 100,000 youths, appa-

VOLUNTEERS' SUBSCRIPTIONS, SUMMONSES FOR
NON-PAYMENT.—David Krakeur, a member of the 30th
Middlesex Ariillery Volunteers, appeared to answer a sum-
mons taken out by Mr. Hezekiah Venman, sergeant major
of the corps, for arrears of subscriptions due to the corps.
Mr. Venman said the defendant was a member of the
corps, having been enrolle'l on the 19th September, 1861,
the subscription being annual but payable quarterly. There
was Is. 9d. duo from the defendant for six quarters, the
first hree quarters at £1 ls. per annum, and the last three
at 12s. The defendant had not resigned,
Defendant said he should have done so, but did not know
who to send his resignation to,
