NEWS FROM LYONS.

A letter from Lyons says that the Prussian colulnil
which pursued Garibaldi has retreated on Dijon in yea
bad condition, having been repulsed at Autun and de-
feated at Arnay-le-Duc notwithstanding their good ox.
tillery. Garibaldi, in his order of the day after Autoof
warmly congratulated his artillerymen, as they deserved.
He said that the troops might see from the result of
that day that it was possible to resist the invaders even
when their numbers were superior, and he announces that
he will punish with extreme severity all those who fll
at the sound of the cannonade. He calls upon the
authorities of the district to refuse such miserable fugitives
food or drink, as they sprehd alarm throughout the
country, and compromise the honour, and sometimes the
life of those who fight.

On the 2nd December a train of civil prisoners left Gra
for Germany. Among them was Baron Thenard, member
of the Institute, Persig-ny, sub-prefect of Gray, and several
judicial, commercial, and social notabilities of the district.
Twenty more left the next day having been arrested at
Dijon. These arrests are intended as reprisals for the cat'.
turo of German merchant captains by French ships. Baron
Thenard was. arrested in his own chateau with a great
display of force. The officer in command of the detach'
ment offered him his liberty on condition that he would
undertake to obtain the restoration of the German car
tains - seized by the French fleet at Hamburg. 31;
Thenard's answer was to take his travelling cloak and
throw it into a carriage. _

Another account says that this affair of the hostages has
produced great excitement in the East. The officer wil°
proposed to M. Thenard to make the concession spoke in
the name of the King of Prussia himself. M. Thenard
replied with characteristic spirit, "If you want the
skin of a baron and of a member of the Instv
tote, • take it ; if it is my fortune you want--
steal it ; as for my honour, it is beyond the
reach of the King of Prussia himself. Let us go." via
forty hostages seized belong to the best families of Haute
Saone and Cote d'Or, but the number dons not content
the Prussians, who intend to take as many as the Frond'
fleet have captured German captains. They have also
notified to the families of the hostages that they must
answer with their fortunes for the losses caused to the
German mercantile marine.

An English vessel has recently brought 4,000 rifles frofl
Genoa to Marseilles.

The Paris Journal mentions that a letter carrier in
the service of the Post Office has twice succeeded in
passing through the Prussian lines, and, a few days' since,
returned to Paris, bearing some five hundred letters frolic,
the provinces.

Mgr. 13aner, chief almoner of the Paris ambulances, has
forwarded to M. Jules Favre a letter, which is counter•
signed by several other gentlemen, declaring that he, With
others, was fired upon by the. Parisians near Champigl
on the 2nd inst., when riding forward with a trumpeter
and a flag of truce.

The Drapeau denies the assertion that the Bonapartist°,
are manceuvring to effect restoration of the Empire, and
declares that Republicans and Orleanists only need to
have recourse to force or stratagem to gain their pollitS.
for they never dare to appeal to universal suffrage. The
imperial institutions, on the contrary, depend entirely On
the national will.

The Paris Journal states that one result of the action,
before Champig,ny, on December 1, was to add five days
supply to the store of fresh meat in the capital, from I,oo°
to 1,200 wounded and dead horses having been found 10
the lines carried by the Paris troops, while their own loss
of horses did not exceed 300 or 400. The flesh of all thes°
animals was to be distributed among the various butchers
of the capital.

The public schools and colleges of Paris present 0
singular appearance. The professors deliver their lecture°
in the uniform of the National Guard, instead of in the
classical toga. The junior masters, who were chiefly
young students who were completing their terms, have
been carried off for service in the Mobiles, and there 1
not a single student left indoors. Tho dormitories and
refectories unoccupied by pupils serve for accommodating
the fire-engine men of the district, or as ambulances for
the wounded. In the outer courts the students of the
upper classes practise with their rifles, and gb through
military exercises.

The Cologne Gazette says:—" An English lady, whoso
name is to remain unknown, having offered a costly
memento, consisting of a large gold cross and necklace, to
the wife, mother, or other connection cf the Prussian
officer who should capture the first hostile gun, has sent
it to Count Munster, it having been shewn that Lieute'
nant Brandenburg, of the 46th Lower Silesian Grenadiers,
captured the first gun at Woerth. The Count will hand
it over to the Crown Princess, and beg her to present it
the mother of the still unmarried lieutenant, who livo
at Budesheirn. The cross bears an English inscriF
tion, stating the circumstances under which it was Pre•
sented."

A German letter says :—" An officer of hussars proposed
to get into Paris, and managed to do so in the following
wise. . He dressed himself in the ordinary garb of a
peasant, and by the aid of a moustache ct la Napolefflit
coupled with a perfect knowledge of the French tongue;
managed to slip through our outposts. When he bac'
passed the outermost lines, our forepost line lost no time
in having a shot at him, but of course in the air. Th°
French, on the other hand, naturally concluded that he
was a countryman. By the aid of a plausible tale he soeu
found himself within the walls of Paris. Out he came in
the greatest glee that he had succeeded in evading the
vigilance of the French outposts. He was the bearer a
interesting tidings from Paris, not the least important of
which was that in the laboratories there was no more
saltpetre with which to make gunpowder."

[ADvEßTlsiiitourd—Holloway's Ointment and Mc'
Colds, Influenza.—Until within a very few years theo
complaints were treated with blood-letting, blistering, an
emetics. Now a more rational method of cure has been
adopted. Holloway's Ointment and Pills purify, heal'
and strengthen. They neither weaken- the body, nor die;
comfort the nervous system. Depletion doubtless arreste;'•
these diseases, but at the same time it took away nature
means of restoration. Holloway's remedies, on the Con-
trary, while working the cure, are laying the foundatioo
for perfect recovery, not only of the afflicted, but °veil
other organ. Holloway's preparations are also the bes,
preservatives against the whole list of autumnal ailmentsl
they throw out all impurities, and preserve the vita
princiPal from disease, or lead it back to health.
