WRECK ON THE CORNISH COAST.

PADSTOW, Jan. 8.
Last night and to-day there has been a violent
westerly gale, and in consequence the Austrian
barque Suez broke from her moorings and drifted
to the bar, where she struck (says the Rev. Richard
Tyacke). About half-past 10 o'clock this morning
the City of Bristol lifeboat, Albert Edward, which
belongs to the Lifeboat Society, took off the crew
of nine men from the ♦easel, which still remains on
the bar, and which, it is feared, may ultimately be-
come much injured.

Mr. George H.

he is a sound lawyer; Mr. Withers of Michigan was substi-
tuted. The nomination failed on account of his speeches d -
livered 1862-3 against the exercise of the war power ; Ciuci-
m ai being foremost in opposition. During the session sit
hundred nominations, including naval and military ap-
pointments were sent to the Senate. Of these four hundred
and fifty were confirmed; balance generally remaining for
consideration. The most important posts not yet reached are
General Sickles as Minister to Madrid, and J. Russell
Jones as Minister to Belgium. A strong effort is being
made against General Sickles, and some of the papers
seem never to tire in abuse which borders on virulence.
We may here add that others have got hold of some private
affair of the Hon. John Jay, Minister to Austria, a dis-
agreement, we believe,about the disposal of his wife's father's
property, which is nobody's business except those
direcly concerned. There is too much espiowtge into the
affairs of the leading families, especially of 14,w York.

William Macintosh.

This little story about James the seventh Earl
of Derby and his Countess Charlotte de la Tre-
mouiile, in their Lordship of Man, is a narrative of
the seventh century, interspersed with notices of
Manx manners, customs, laws, legends, and fairy
tales," compionsly illustrated from Manx scenery
and antiquities, is as attractive in its execution as it
is original in its design. It was dedicated to Ed-
ward, the 14th Earl of Derby, but the ink of the dedi-
cation was hardly dry ere another Stanley, and not
the least of them, was gathered to those that had
gone before.

From Liverpool to St. Louis. By the ROT. Newman

Hall. George Routledge.

This is a very interesting book of travels, full of
anecdotes of men and descriptions of scenery in Ame-
rica. In one chapter we read melancholy reminis-
cences of home, in another we are inclined to smile
over the vagaries of African extravagance. The
secret of the negro's love of finery was confided to
the author—there are so few ways for the negro to
become distinguished, but " they can dress, and
they do dress, as their only way of being distin-
guished

CARDINAL SCIIWARZENBERG.

The Vienna Presse denies the statements that have been
made as to the attitude of Cardinal Schwarzenberg, and
maintains that he bad never been so completely recognised
as the leader of the opposition that he could fall into the
predicament of refusing his co-operation in the execution
of a programme elaborated under his auspices, thus spreading
dismay am( ng the antagonists of Papal Infallibility, and
at last ingloriously yielding to expiate his supposed weak-
ness in a monastery. It adds that the true leaders of the
Austrian opposition are the Bishop of Diakovar Stress-
mayo. and Bishop Kovacs.

PERSIA AND TURRET.
The Pioneer states that a somewhat serious misunder-
standing exists between the Persian and Turkish autho-
rities on the subject of the Kurdistan frontier. A relation
of the Shah of Persia invited one of the Kurd chiefs to a
conference, and then caused him to be strangled. In con-
sequence of the disputes that arose, the Turkish frontier
was closed to the Kurds for a time, but the Turkish and
Persian authorities disputed between themselves, and
the Turkish forces were withdrawn, so that the Persian
Government lost nearly all the advantages they had gained
from their long operations against the Kurds. The conse-
quence of all these events has been that the relations
between Bagdad and Teheran are anything but cordial.

L'n'ERTS ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confinthg" the'
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-

pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which plovokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects aro truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.

TENANT RIGHT.

The Stafford Chamber of Agriculture have been
discussing the question of "tenant right." At the
original meeting a resolution was proposed by Mr.
Carrington Smith in favour of its recognition, and
an amendment by Lord Harrowby, in favour of
arrangements partly by mutual contract between
landlord and tenant, for securing the latter adequate
compensation for all improvements. At the
adjourned meeting a compact between Mr. Smith
and the noble lord was announced, resulting
in the
_proposal by the former of a resolution
to the effect that all differences between landlord and
tenant at the expiration of a tenancy should be sub-
mitted to arbitration. This resolution met the ap-
proval of Lord Lichfield and the other members of
the board, and it was unanimously carried.

SOLDIERS AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Strict and impartial economy is for the future to
be exercised with respect to legal proceedings against
soldiers. The Secretary of State for the War De-
partment has issued a circular in which ho in-
forms military gentlemen that for the future they
must, before reckoning upon being disimbursed any
legal expenses, obtain his consent to incur the
same, and he will only allow them after it has been
shewn that the act which caused the appeal to law
was done in the path of duty. Solicitors also are
warned not to undertake official cases without the
command of the Secretary of State. The command-
ing officer of each regiment is also advised that " all
offences committed by persons subject to the Mutiny
Act against the ordinary criminal code of the
country brought to the cognisance of the commanding

local police, that the same may be duly- investigated
by their agency, and punished by the civil criminal
tribunals.'

THE STOCKPORT CONSERVATIVES.

The Conservatives of Stockport held a sort of
nrand revival on Saturday to celebrate the return of
Mr. Tipping to Parliament. Considering that the
auspicious event took place in December 1868, the
celebration looks rather late, but it appears to have
been none the less vigorous on that account.
Mr. Tipping himself was present, besides
Mr. Cecil Raikes, member for Chester, Mr.
Cawley (who shares the love of Salford with the
illustrious Charley), and about 2,000 other persons.
Mr. Raikes bewailed the minority of the Conserva-
tive party, and gave the nation a hard hit for
returnin. " a majority of dummies " to support
Mr. Gladstone." He did not believe the
Irish land question was the first of the day.
The education problem was paramount ; and it was
because the apostles of the new system of education
were anxious to postpone its settlement until they
had fabricated a certain amount of what they were
pleased to call "public opinion," that they pushed
the Irish land question to the front. Mr. Cawley,
" though he would be sorry to do anything contrary
to the sound principles of Free Trade," went in for
Reciprocity. Mr. Tipping dealt with various matters,
but principally with the fine and bold front which the
Conservative men of Stockport presented to all the
world.

RITUALISM IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT,

In the Court of Arches on Monday Sir R. J. Phillimore
heard the suit "of Bishop Sumner (late Bishop of Win-
chester) v. The Rev. R. H. E. Wix, the incumbent of
St. Michael and All Angels, Swanmore, Isle of Wight.
The complaint against Mr. Wix was that he had since
the judgment of the Judicial Committee in the case of
"Martin v. Mackonochie " used lights and incense, which
use was illegal. There was another charge in the articles,
which was new in this case—namely, the use of " Gospel
lights" while the Gospel was being read during the
Holy Communion. The defendant had been admonished
by his Ordinary, and had discontinued their use
Still the matter came before the Court. Dr. Deane
said it was not denied that there were lighted candles
during the communion service, but they were said
to be on a "shelf " above the table." Then as to the
incense it would seem that the defendant alleged that it
was not used unlawfully. Although the defendant had
abstained from the " Gospel lights " whilst the Gospel
was being read it was important that a judgment on such
an innovation should be given as a warning to other clergy.
men against such a practice. Witnesses were called ill
support of the charges.

TIM RED RIVER REBELLION.

The Provisional Government of Rupert's Land issued
their declaration of independence on the Bth of December,
and the full text has now appeared. They state that the
country had until recently been ruled by a species of
government inaugurated by the Hudson's Bay Company,
but that the latter had surrendered to Canada all the
rights it had in their territory, and they maintain
that the Company had no right to transfer the people
to a foreign Power. After declaring that they consider
the people of Rupert's Land and the North-West to have
been free and exempt from all allegiance to the Govern-
ment from the day it transferred them to a foreign Power,
the Council adds :—" Be it known, therefore, to the world
in general; and to the Canadian Government in particular,
that as we have always heretofore successfully defended
our country in frequent wars with the neighbouring tribes
of Indians, who are now on friendly terms with us, we are
firmly resolved in future, not less than in the past,to repel
all incursions, from whatever quarter they may come." In
conclusion, the Provisional Government s.ty that they are
ready to enter into such negotiations with the Canadians
as may be favourable for the good government of the
people.

MR BIIRLINGAME'S CREDENTIALS.

The discussion raised in the East respecting Mr. Burlin-
game's authority in China has been set at rest by the pub-
lication of the Chinese text of his commission, which proves
that the translation formerly published was materially
correct. The following is the substance of the document.
The Emperor of China salutes the Queen of England, and
declares that as China and foreign nations are members of
one family, he i 3 cordially desirous of placing their friendly
i elations on a firm and lasting basis. In proof of this he
has " specially selected Anson Burlingame, formerly
residing at Peking as Minister for the United States, an
officer of integrity, ability and wisdom, and well acquainted
with the relations of this and other nations, to manage all
affairs pertaining to our two kingdoms, one who can be
looked to explain on our behalf whatever is straight
or crooked." The official English translation, though
inaccurate in some points, is correct in its
rendering of "friendly," not tributary, states. Two
officers of the second rank—Chih-Rang and Sun-
Chia-Ku—have been ordered " to accompany Mr. Burling-
hams to Great Britain, who have both been specially
designated as high ministers with important functions, in
order (further) to prove (our) sincere intentions and
amicable feelings." Great importance is attached
to the exact wording of this document, respect-
ing which there has been so much dispute, and all the
versions of it are compared in the China papers. It is
complained that the Emperor does not employ a suffi-
ciently dignified term in addressing the Queen, and the
Overland China Mail, which has a leader on the subject
(for in China such trifles are of the gravest importance),
cornm lains that the use of the wrong term originates with
n mistake of the English Foreign Office at the time of
drawing up the Treaty of Tientsin.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Jan. 11.
The Official Journal of this morning publishes a
decree convoking the Chamber of Investigation of
the High Court of Justice to undertake the judicial
inquiry into the act of homicide imputed to Prince
Pierre Bonaparte.

A report is also published signed by M. 011ivier,

Minister of Justice, proposing to grant permission
to M. Ledru Rollin to enter France ; this report is
approved by the Emperor.

The Official Journal confirms the report that M.
011ivier had ordered the arrest of Prince Pierre
Bonaparte, but the Prince had previously given
himself up to the Commissionary of Police at
Auteuil. His Highness was immediately taken to
the Conciergerie.
M. Sencier has been appointed Prefect of the
Department of the Rhone.

The Constitutionnel Of this morning confirms the
report that Prince Pierre Bonaparte has shot M.
Victor Noir, and publishes the following par-

ticulars :

" Prince Pierre Bonaparte reproached M. Roche-
fort by letter for having insulted him personally
in an article written by one of his journalists. M.
Victor Noir and M. Ulric Fonvielle went to the
Prince, at the instance of Pascal Grousset, who
had signed the article referred to, which was
published in the illarseillaise. When they were
ushered into the drawing-room the Prince aked
them whether they were the journalists sent by M.
Rochefort? At this moment M. Victor Noir struck

the Prince violently in the face, and M. Fouvielle,
doubtlessly expecting a blow, drew a revolver from
his paletot. On seeing so violent an assault the
Prince snatched a pistol from a paaophy de-
corating the saloon and fired at M. Noir, whom he
wounded. M. Noir after reaching the bottom of
the stairs dropped down dead."

The Minister of Justice ordered the immediate
arrest of Prince Pierre Bonaparte, and the Emperor
has approved of this step. The judicial investiga-
tion has already commenced.

:JUDGES' CHAMBERS.-(TIIIS DAI)

IMPERIAL LAND COMPANY OF MARSEILLES.
Four motionb were set down for hearing before
Vice-Chancellor Malins to-day, in respect to claims
made by the company against Mr. Grant indi-
vidually and against him and Mr. Heritage
jointly, and Messrs. Harvey Lewis and Mr. Hen-
shaw, as well as a motion for the removal of
the liquidators of the company. The first
motion was against Mr. Grant and Mr. Heti-
tage, and stood over from before the Christmas
vacation. Air, Glass, Q.C., was proceeding with
the case on behalf of Messrs. grant and Heritage,
when an application was made by counsel on the
other side that the motion should stand over until
an offer of compromise made by Mr. Grant and
another director to return £651000, in considera-
tion of a claim of about £170,000 made against
them by the company, should be decided upon
by the Court.
The Vice-Chancellor said he very much objected
to these Postponements, and suggested that counsel
should come to some arrangement which would pre-
vent further delay.
Sir Roundel' Palmer, for the liquidators, said it
would be unfair to bring on any of these motions
pending the compromise.
Mr. Glasse said that Mr. Grant had made what
he considered a very fair and honest offer.
After some further discussion between counsel,
it was arranged that the matter of the compromise
should come before his Honour on Friday next in
Chambers, and that all the motions in the case of

BREAKFAST.— EPPS'S COCOA.—GRATEFUL AND COM-
FORTING,—The very agreeable character of this preparation has
rendered it a geueral favourite. The 'Civil Service Gazette' re-
marks:—" The singular success which Mr. Epps attained by his
homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by
any experimentalist. By a thorough knowledge of the natural
laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutritio.,,
and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected
cocoa, Mr Epps has prov,ded our breakfast tables with a deli-
cately flavoured beverage which inly save us many heavy doe
tors' bills." Made simply with boiling water or milk. Sold

SIR RUTHERFORD AT.COCK.

Sir Rutherford Alcock is returning to England, and has
taken formal leave of Prince Sung, who said to him,
" Now you are going home, I wish you would take away
your opium and missionaries." A Protestant missionary
thereupon suggested that the prince's objection to Chris-
tianity was probably chiefly political.

PItOFESSOIt HUXLEY ON POLITICAL ETHNOLOGY,

Professor Huxley has delivered a lecture on "The
Forefathers and Forerunners of the English People"
—the second of a series of " Sunday Evenings
for the People," provided by the National Sunday
League. The main object of the professor appears to be
to combat the notion that any political weight is
properly to be attached to the distinction between the
Celtic and Anglo-Saxon races. He considers that
there is full evidence to prove that in Ireland, as well
as in Britain, the present population is made up of
two parties, the one primitive, so far as history goes,
and speaking a Celtic tongue, the other secondary
and intrusive, and speaking a Teutonic tongue.
He thinks it quite possible and probable that
Ireland RS a whole contains less Teutonic
blood than the eastern half of England, and
more than the western half; he denies that the
past affords any reason for dealing with the
people of Ireland differently from the people of
Devonshire, there being no difference whatever,
except that of language, between Celt and Teuton.
If this is true, the sooner we leave off drawing poli-
tical distinctions between Celt and Teuton the better.

M. OLLIVIER ON HIMSELF.

A correspondent of the Journal de Rouen *rites from
Biella, Italy, whore he met M. Emile 011ivier. The ex-
Minister's own explanation of his flight from France is
that he went to Italy with the object of persuading
Italian statesmen of the necessity of coming to the assist-
ance of France. He addressed himself particularly to
Rattazzi and Ricasoli, and having failed, started home-
wards, but his brother Adolphe fell dangerously ill at
Turin. He remained there with him, and meanwhile the
revolution declared itself. His brother growing
better, he removed to Biella. He is staying with
Cesare Valerio, a well-known Piedmontese de-
puty, and is occupied in the preparation of.
his work in two volumes, " Mon Ministere du 2
Janvier." The first olume is to be entitled " The Pld-
biscite," and the second " The War." In the latter, M.
011ivier aims at proving that the war was not provoked
by either France or the Emperor, but by Prussia alone.
He announces that he means to return to France when
his brother's health is completely re-established. As he
has always been friendly to Italy, he has been well re-
ceived r.t Turin and the other towns he has visited.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CHAIR-
MANSHIP OF THE METROPOLITAN
BOARD OF WORKS.

At a meeting, yesterday, of the Metropolitan Board of
Works, a report was presented from the committee ap-
pointed to consider the correspondence between Mr.
Rutzen, secretary to the Home Secretary, and Mr. Pol-
lard, clerk to the Board, in reference to the alleged sug-
gested appointment of Mr. Ayrton to the vacant chair-
manship of that body. The committee stated that an
additional letter had been received from Mr. Rutzen, stating
that the letters were written privately to Mr. Pollard, and
were not intended for the consideration of the Board, and re-
questing that they might be returned to him. Having
given great consideration to the matter, the committee
now recommended that this request be complied with.
An animated discussion ensued on the proposed adoption
of the report, some of the members contending that the
matter was entirely in the hands of Mr. Pollard, and
others that the Board had right to take cognizance of
letters addressed to their secretary on matters connected
with its business. Eventually the adoption of the report
was carried by a majority of 29 to 3.

THE PRUSSIANS AT MEZIERES.

A correspondent of the Journal de Liege announces the
precipitate departure of the population of Maieres at the
approach of the Prussians. As yet the enemy are three
leagues from the town. After the inhabitants had taken
flight the Eastern Railway stopped its service for travellers
and goods. All the personnel of the line took refuge in
the railway station of Givet, and filled the rows of trains
placed by the side of the road. To see these three hun-
dred carriages, which were capable of holding from 2,000
to 3,000 persons, filled with people arranging
their menage, one could imagine that he saw
an enormous gips3 camp with all its tents
occupied. 1114zibres seemed disposed to make
an energetic resistance, and as the Prussians were not in
sight the opportunity was taken for provisioning the forts of
M6zieres and Rocroy, where an abundant supply of war-
like munitions and an imposing artillery will allow a
vigorous defence to be carried on. The Eastern Railway
Company has suffered a diminution of a million francs a
week in its receipts, but it has continued to ray its staff
Many of the railway carriages have been struck by balls,
and one was destroyed by a shot from MaoMahon's army,
sent on purpose to stop its progress at the moment when
laden with stores it was about to fall into the hands of
Prussians. The Eastern Company say that the Prussians
have detained 800 carriages and 20 engines on their line.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

An accident happened on Thursday, about noon, near
Thirsk Station, on the North-Eastern Railway. A laden
coal train of thirty 10-ton trucks, for London, had eight
waggons thrown off the line through the fracture of an
axle. The train in this condition was dragged nearly half-
a-mile, the waggons being crushed and knocked about,
and their contents scattered on the up-line, which was
blocked for seven hours. One waggon was thrown across
the down line, but happily no train was due at the time.
The rails were torn up for 50 yards. Neither driver nor
guard was hurt.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5,
Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years
this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number
of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan
adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London
and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and
faithful addresses have been given.
During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly
every week in some of the most frequented districts of the
metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen ones.
To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are
earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John
Stabb, Hon. Sec., 6, Red Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the
Union Bank of London (Carey-street Branch), W.C.

THE REDS.

The complaints of the Reds in Paris are the subject of
an energetic protest on the part of the Journal des Debats.
This outspoken ridicule of the extreme faction is as well
, written as it is thoroughly well deserved :—" Every man
who is a functionary is in their eyes necessarily a tyrant,
but they themselves are incapable of tyranny.
Their authority is legitimate because they alone
possess the traditions of the Revolution, and
would govern revolutionnairement.' This word is
an answer to everything, it is the concentrated essence
of statesmanship. These men are not simple mortals—
they are pontiffs ; they do everything revo lutionnaire
ment ; they eat, they drink, they sleep, they rise
revolutionnairement.' At daybreak the repose of
honest citizens is disturbed by the criers of their
newspapers. And what do these newspapers tell
us ?—that the Government is not governing revo-
lutionnairement.' They themselves are infallible
and sacred. They complain that the citizen Thiers
has been entrusted with a diplomatic mission. Citizen
Brutus ought to have been sent to foreign Courts ; his
very aspect would have struck awe in the breasts of the
neutral monarchs. Were you to ask one of them to com-
mand an army or manoeuvre a fleet, he would accept the
post at once. If he were asked to write a patriotic
opera in five acts, he would call for pen and paper.
And were you to ask him how he hoped to succeed,
knowing nothing of armies, of fleets, or of music,
he would disdainfully reply that everything is
easy to a person who proceeds revolutionnairement.'
These are the men who by their extravagances enabled
Napoleon to reign for twenty years ; and if we trust to
them, they will paralyse the national defence. But they
would not complain of our defeat, if only it be brought
about by them revclutionnairement,' according to the
rules of their poetical and political art. They would
crown themselves with chaplets of evergreen, with the
serenity which belongs to patriots betrayed by Fortune
after having nobly accomplished their duty.,"

BRUTAL MURDER.

A woman named Cape, who keeps the Post-office, to
which is attached a provision store, at Castledermot, near
Carlow, was brutally murdered on Thursday by a shopman
in her employ. The deceased was a widow, and had re-
fused the addresses of the murderer, who attacked her
with a bacon knife. She was fearfully cut about the
head, throat, and bosom, and, in trying to protect her
mother, a daughter of the deceased had four of her
fingers cut off. The man was apprehended at once, and
declared that it was his intention to ki,ll the deceased, and
afterwards destroy himself.

Mr. Standish, of Standish Hall, in the county of Dur-
ham, who has been staying with his brother-in-law at
Thurso Castle, went out with his dog and gun on Wednes
day afternoon, and has not since been heard of. It is
feared that he has become the victim of some fatal
calamity. •
