BUMOU.RBD TRAGEDY IN AMERICA

We have great satisfaction in being enabled to contra-
dict, on the authority of the latest intelligence received from
the spot, a report which has been copied into several Eng-
lish journals from an American newspaper, to the effect that
three English gentlemen, younger sons of the Duke of
Devonshire, the Marquis of Westminster, and the Earl of
Shaftesbury, had been murdered while on their journey
across the Prairies from the Mississippi to the Red River.
The story seems to have originated in the murder of two
Canadians who were killed in a drunken quarrel with a
tribe of Sioux Indians in that country.—Morning Post.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.—VALENTIA, Dec. 6.—
The shore end of the cable has been laid and a splice made
with the deep sea-line, five miles out at sea. Capt. Kell,
who has been laying this portion of the cable, and has been
here since the middle of October, leaves for London to-
morrow, but expects to return in the spring to underrun
more of the deep sea-line. The schooner Stag, which
arrived here on the 26th of October with seven miles of
shore cable from London, leaves immediately with all the
spare cable and stores. Mr. Collett is the only member
of the Atlantic Telegraph staff left, and he is to remain in
charge during the winter. _ _

A'I4ERICAN. MAILS.—The Liverpool, New York,
and Philadelphia Company's steamer Kangaroo left the
Mersey at half-past 12 yesterday (Wednesday), for New
York; with the United States mails, 140 passengers, and
a full and valuable cargo of fine manufactures, a consider-
able portion of which were Irish linens. The Cunard
steamship Asia sails for New York on Saturday, the 11th
instant, with the usual mails. Letters received at the
Liverpool Post-office until ten a.m., with late fees till
eleven a.m., and on the lauding stage until twelve noon.
MAILS FOR SWEDEN:—Notice has been issued
from the General Post-office that the packets conveying
mails once a week between Grimsby and Gothenburgh,
under a contract with the Swedish Government, are about
to cease their voyages, the last vessel being appointed to
sail from Grimsby on the morning of the 11th instant, after
which date, therefore, no mails can be sent by that route
until the re-opening of the navigation next spring; of
whieb, due notice will be given,

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

The question as to the replacing of the Atlantic
Telegraph Cable is likely to be decided in a few days.
The company have made application to the Govern-
ment for a guarantee of 41 per cent. on, £537,000,
subject to the same conditions as that of the Red
Sea line, and this has been backed by memorials
signed by the leading firms, not only of London,
but of Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds,
Halifax, Bradford, Hull, Glasgow, Paisley, and
Norwich. Supposing it to be granted, contracts
will immediately be concluded for a new cable,
and any negotiations that may be thought de-
sirable
with the American Government will
subsequently be entered into. No attempts
can be made, with any prospect of success, to
lift the old cable until the return of calm weather
at the end of April or May, and, even under the
best circumstances, the expectations with regard to
the operation are not favourable. Meanwhile it
has been definitively ascertained that the existing
damage was not at the shore end. The laying
of the new end has been completed to a distance
of 12 miles out from Valentia, and the portion
taken up was found to be in a perfect condition for
all electrical purposes. Experiments lately under-
taken by a person previously unconnected with
the enterprise strongly support the original infer-
ence, that the main fault is about 270 miles from
the Irish coast, at a depth probably of 900 fathoms.
There is also a fault on the other side, which is
thought to be about 300 miles from Newfoundland.
Currents, however, still continue to be received,
although of a kind so feeble and uncertain as to be
useless for any practical purpose. At present the
telegraph is in charge of Mr. Henley, who is
manufacturing an apparatus such as his expe-
rience on the spot leads him to think may
yet possibly lead to some results, but in no
case could there be a hope of achieving permanently
any satisfactory communication otherwise than by
an entirely new line. After the unanimous
ext•ression of opinion, not merely by the 6ammer-
cial towns but the people at large, that the work is
one the nation should not allow to fail, it may be
presumed there is little doubt of the required help
being accorded, subject to such stipulations as may
protect the general interests of the public. Among
other provisions some modifications in the construc-
tion of the Board might, perhaps, be advantageously
demanded.

FRANCE AND THE ENGLISH PRESS.
London, England, 1858-12-09

SARDINIA.

The Opinione of Turin states that the Sardinian
Minist of War has justvisited the fortifications of
Casale, and found them very far advanced. The
same journal states from Lombardy, on the other
hand, that the greatest activity reigns in the
arsenal of Venice ; that the number of workmen
there has been doubled, and that warlike stores of
all sorts are being brought in. It adds that
several arrests have taken place at Milan, and
that 17 students have been, arrested at Pavia,
where several houses have been searched for arms
many of which have been seized. The garrison
has been increased by a field-battery.
It has already been stated that the Archduke
Charles Louis, brother to the Emperor of Austria,
lately visited the Pope. The Opinione of Turin
states that he is formally entrusted with a political
mission, the object of which is to obtain permission
from the Pope to occupy some new point of the
Legation with Austrian troops, in order to be pre-
pared against an outbreak.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

The Moniteur publishes an official notification
from Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, Commander in
Chief of the French and Spanish forces in Cochin-
China, to the effect that on and after the Ist of
September, 1858, the bay and river of Tourane and
the port of Cham-Callao are declared in strict
blockade. All vessels attempting to force the
blockade will be treated according to the usages of
international law.

A telegram has been received in Palls, an-
nouncing that Mehemed-Djemel Bey, Ambassador
from the Porte to the Court of France, had embarked
at Constantinople to return to Paris.
A second telegram received in Paris, announces
the arrival at Alexandria of Mahmoud Pasha, the
new Governor of Jeddah, who was appointed to
that situation at the recommendation of M. Thou-
venel, the French Ambassador. The Turkish
Government desired that Mahmoud Pasha should
reach Jeddah previous to M. Sabatier, the French
Consul-General, leaving that town.
M. de Mornard, French Consul at Salonica, has
arrived in Paris on leave of absence.

The ,Moniteur also publishes a report from Mar-
shal Vaillant, approved by the Emperor, appointing
a committee to examine into the' best means for
improving the manufacture of fire-arms in France.
Marshal Bosquet, we regret to say, is again in a
very unsatisfactory state of health.
The last accounts from China (says the .Pays)
announce that Baron Gros, the French Envoy,
who had left Shanghai on the 25th Sept. for Japan,
on board the steam corvette Primauguet, accom-
panied by the Pregent, steam advice boat, had
'arrived at his destination. He was received in the
most distinguished manner by the Japanese Govern-
ment, and after negotiations, which had been carried
on with the best feeling on both sides, had signed
a treaty of amity and. commerce with that power.
BOURSE, Dec. 7.—The market continued buoyant,
and with a further advance of prices at the opening ;
but the sudden rise induced sales for realisation,
and caused a slight reaction.. Threes, after having
been done at 73f. 40c., are now at 731. 20c. ;

LYCEUM THEATRE.-M. JULLIEN'S
ANNUAL BAL MASQUE, on MONDAY, December
13th, 1858.—M. JULLIEN'S present BAL MASQUE will be
given with tne same splendour as has been displayed in those
magnificent Fetes he has presented to the public on former
occasions ; Fetes which have unanimously been pronounced
as unsurpassed in Europe. M. Jullien is determined that this,
his TWENTIETH BAL MASQUE in England, shall excel
any of its predecessors in brilliancy and splendour. The
Dances will be regulated by 12 Maitres des Ceremonies,
whose arrangements will be strictly carried out.—No one
will be admitted except in Evening Dress or Fancy
Costume.—No person in the costume of Clown, Har-
lequin, or Pantaloon, will be admitted. These regulations
will be strictly adhered to. Mr. NATHAN, of Castle-
stre4, Leicester-square, has been appointed Costumier
to the Bal.—The Supper will be served at One o'clock.—For
this occasion M. JUL LIEN is happy to announce that he has
made arrangements with lir. DONALD, of the St. James's
Restaurant, Regent-street, that he may serve a most magnifi-
cent SUPPER. The reputation which the St. James's Wines
have lately obtained (particularly among connoisseurs) will
sufficiently guarantee for their quality.
Tickets for the Ball, 10s. 6d. ; the prices of admiss'ou for
Spectators (for whom the audience portion of the Theatre will
be set apart), will be Dress Circles, ss. ; Private Boxes from
ZI 4s. and upwards ; Gallery, 2s. Persons taking Private
Boxes will have the privilege of passing to and from the Ball
Room without extra charge.
Tickets for the . Ball, Places,
_and Private Boxes, may be.
scoured Of Mr.-Chafterton, at the Ilox-office, Lyceum ; and at
Messrs. Jullien and Co.'s, 214, liegent-street.—The Doors
will be opened at Half-past Niue, and the Dancing commence
at Half-past Ten.
London, England, 1858-12-09

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts, both as
to number and quality. All breeds sold steadily at fully
Monday's improvement in value. Sheep—the show of
which was only moderate—changed hands freely at full
quotations. We had rather an active inquiry for colours,
at a further advance in prices of 2d per 81bs, the top quo-
tations being 5s per 81bs. There was a fair inquiry for
pigs at extreme rates ; but milch cows commanded very
little attention.

CUTTING OFF A LADY'S CRINOLINE. --At the
i
Liverpool Sessions on Wednesday (which for this span
occasion were held in St. George's Hall, being the fill
time it has ever been used for judicial proceedings), they
Huntingdon, a baker and flour dealer, was charged Nlv"k.
having assaulted two young ladies in Prince'
Liverpool, and cut off the crinoline of the elder one, at the
same time exclaiming, " These hoops these hoops, I Caw
not tolerate them," or words of similar import. shortll
after the prisoner's examination before the police magit
trate, when he attempted to prove an alibi, his frien7.
asserted that the real perpetrator of the outrage, an
lunatic who had escaped from Newry, had been capture'
in Liverpool and immured in a local onaison de sante. Ain
ther curious fact connected with the affair is, that one °
the local papers contained a very verbose report of i‘t
second " crinoline case," but as the alleged facts could
be' proved, it was generally suspected that the affair scr„
but a ruse of Mr. Huntingdon's more zealous friends, re
draw off public attention from the charge against him. The
case occupied thl3 entire day, the great hall in which the.
trial took place being crowded, large numbers of 10°'
being assembled in the gallery. It was not concluded when
our parcel was despatched.

Originally._ published in Fraser's

Magazine. J. VW. Parker.

Those who have read this tale in the pages of
Fraser's Magazine will be glad to meet it again in
a more connected form. It is a story of English
social life very pleasantly told. The characters
are varied and cleverly drawn, their individuality
is preserved, and many of them are lifelike. The
two chief characters, Margaret and Edith, though
attached friends, become unconscious rivals, and
the unimpressionable hero who has defied the
attractions of all fair heroines, unfortunately makes
a mistake in his selection, and receives a somewhat
ungenerous rebuff. The two friends are the most
prominent figures in the scene, but there are many
others. Lord Hanworth himself is an: attractive
character in spite of his want of penetration, and a
slight degree of self-satisfaction. Mr. Stirling does
not divide the interest appertaining to the hero at
all. Mr. and Mrs. Charlton, the poet and his wife,
are charming characters, and Mr. Vernon is a
quaint and original portrait. Sir Simon Howell, ,
the prosy and pompous country gentleman, is ably
sketched, and his wife is a fair sample f a cor-
rect and mediocre woman of the world. Lady
miakton, her spirited friend, is a sketch often
met wit,b. in the pages of fiction, as well as in
' society. ;Many minor figures are introduced, such
as the lady who enjoyed her friend's troubles, and
who fill up the scene. The story is an interesting
one, though &pending more upon the develop-
ment of charactex than the excitement of events.
The conclusion is A: little too abrupt, and the reader
would have been more satisfied if it had seemed
less hurried. It is agreeable volume, nevertheless,
showing some knowletlge of life and character, and
will add pleasantly to the shelf of fiction in many
a library.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPEILMATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual llypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has .addresEed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London 111edical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferer:
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
ald by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhce- and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the, moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places
it within thq reach of every one interested in the matter."—

THE NAVY.

Two engineers, one of whom was engaged in
making the recent experiments on north-country
coals as a 'steam fuel, are about to be despatched by
the Admiralty to Cardiff, in order to test the value
of the South 'Wales coals, and to obtain materials
for a comparison of their merits with those of the
northern coal?. The repert of the Admiralty engi•
neers is understood to relate chiefly to the possi-
bility of consuming the smoke of the bituminous
coals of the north of England, and to make no re-
ference to the relative merits of the two coals. The
experiments at Cardiff will embrace a wider field;
and settle, it is to be hoped definitively, the dis-
puted question of the evaporatite power and gene-
ral superiority of the rival coals.
Rear-Admiral John Shepherd has signified his
intention of resigning his post of Superintendent of
Woolwich Dockyard to-morrow morning, and will
be succeeded by Captain the Hon. James R. Drum-
mond, Aide-dc-Camp to the Queen, who is ex-
pected to assume the duties of his new appointment
during the day.

CUTTING OFF A LADY'S CRINOLINE. —At the
Liverpool Sessions on Wednesday (which for this special
occasion were held in St. George's Hall, being the first
time it has ever been used for judicial proceedings), Wm.
Huntingdon, a baker and flour dealer, was charged with
having assaulted two young ladies in Prince's-park,
Liverpool, and cut off the crinoline of the elder one, at the
same time exclaiming, "These hoops, these hoops, I can-
not tolerate them," or words of similar import. Shortly
after the prisoner's elamiliation before- the police magis-
trate, when he attempted to prove an alibi, his friends
asserted that the real perpetrator of the outrage, an Irish
lunatic who had escaped from Newry, had been captured
in Liverpool and immured in a local maison de sante. Ano-
ther curious fact connected with the affair is, that one of
the local papers contained a very verbose report of
second "crinoline case," but as the alleged facts could not
be proved, it was generally suspected that the affair was
but a ruse of Mr. Huntingdon's more zealous friends, to
draw off public attention from the charge against him. The
case occupied the entire day, the great hall in which _the
trial took place being crowded, large numbers of ladies
being assembled in the gallery. It was not concluded when
our parcel was despatched.
