CRACOW, OCT. 16.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the cele-
bration of the Kosciusko anniversary in Warsaw,
the Bourse and all the shops were closed in that
city, notwithstanding the severe prohibition of the
authorities.

Military surrounded the churches, 'which were
,hronged by the inhabitants.

Numerous arrests were made, without distinction

as to age or sex.

Great agitation prevails.

WARSAW, OCT. 15.

Notwithstanding the prohibition of the authori-
ties and the proclamation of a state of siege, the
projectecklemonstration took place here to-day.
Numerous arrests were made in consequence, and
the crowds of people were dispersed by a charge of
cavalry, without, however, any bloodshed.

PARIS, OcT. 16.

Signor Rattazzi has arrived in Paris.

The Presse and the Pays of this evening state
that the King and Queen of Prussia will be present
at the fete to be given by the Duke of Magenta,
representative of the Emperor of the French at the
coronation, and that their Majesties have declined
to accept any other invitations from the extra-
ordinary Ambassadors.
The Patric of this evening publishes a despatch
from Rome, dated the 14th inst., announcing that
the French military authorities at Rome have con-
tracted for the supply of provisions to the French
garrison for another year.

PESTH, OCT. 16.

The magistrates of Pesth have resolved en send-
ing an address to the Emperor, stating that they
intend to set aside several recent illegal ordinances,
and, in case the execution of the same should be
persisted in by the Government, to tender their
resignation en masse.

M. Nappy, who had been appointed Obergespan
of the Comitat of Pesth, and had already taken the
oath of allegiance, has tendered his resignation,
stating as a reason the impossibility of carrying on
the administration under present circumstances.
The functionaries forming the Assembly of the
Comitat of Arad, lately dissolved, will remain in
office until the Ist of November next, in order to
prevent anarchy.

frilE• -PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossnaith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

CLERK ENWELL.

CRUELTY TO A HORSE.-1 his morning a young man
named George Rice was placed at the bar charged with
cruelly illtreating a horse.
From the evidence of the police-constables it appeared
that the animal was harnessed to a loaded scavenger's cart,
and the prisoner finding the poor beast unable to drag the
load, he commenced beating it with the butt-end of the
whip until it fell down. The constables seeing this ill-usage,
went up to the prisoner and took him into custody. He
attempted to defead the cruelty by stating that it was
" temper" on the part of the horse. That statement was
untrue, as it was soon discovered that the animal was in a
dangerous condition arising from glanders. To such an
extent was the horse diseased that it had to be
killed this morning.

The prisoner denied all knowledge of the horse being
diseased, but he admitted he knew it to be an "old'un,"
and possessed of a good deal of " temper."
The magistrate said it was a bad case, and fined the pri-
soner 80s., or 21 days' imprisonment.
UNRULY PAUPERS.—Two young men, named llarvey
and Winter, were charged with breaking windows at St.
Pancras Workhouse.

From the evidence it appeared that the two men applied
for admission last night, which was refused. They said
they would have a lodging somewhere and took up a stone
and broke a large pane of glass in one of the windows.
The magistrate said they should have lodgings in prison
for three days if they did not pay for the damage done.
They were locked up.
Two boys, Camp and Clerk, were sent to prison for three
months, for stealing the lead piping from one of the out-
buildings of the Great Northern Railway.

Hatteras and by the ill success of Floyd, Wise, and Lee in
Western Virginia,

The appointment of Gustavus W, Smith, formerly
Superintendent of Streets in the city of New York,
to a generalship in the Confederate army has been
confirmed. He was a graduate at West Point, in
the same class as Gen. M'Clellan. Secretary Se-
ward had declined to release Robert Elliot, from
Maine, a prisoner in Fort Lafayette, complimenting
the Governor for his efficient service in ferreting
out the treason. The privateer Sumter is reported
to be still at large. he latest advises from Surinam
report her crew to have become much reduced by
desertion and other causes.

General M'Clellan had issued some important
orders. Among others is one referring to the late
depredations committed by the Union troops at the
village of Fall's Church. These excesses he de-
nounces as atrocious, and feels convinced that they
have been the work of a few bad men, and that the
officers and soldiers of the army generally will unite
in the suppression of practices which disgrace the
whole army. He orders that in future the penalty
of death shall be enforced upon all parties con-
victed of such outrages.

In another order General M'Clellan designates
all the forts and works in the vicinity of Washing-
ton, to the number of 32, by special names, by which
they shall be known hereafter.

The Secretary cf the Treasury was making
arrangements to place 2,000,000 dols. to the credit
of the United States Government in London, for
the purchase of the ships used in the Crimean war
for the purposes of transportation.
Owing to some alleged differences which had
arisen upon points of military etiquette between
Gen. Anderson and Gen. Mitchell, it would appear
that Gen. M'Cook, of Ohio, had recently laid before
the President and Cabinet a statement of the case,
and a request that a new commander be appointed
to the department of Kentucky. Gen. Anderson
was said to be in very bad health, and the proposi-
tion of Gen. M'Cook received the approbation of
both Gen. Anderson and Gen. Mitchell. The result
had been the appointment of Gen. M'Cook to the
department of Kentucky ; and it was understood
that the Kentuckians in Washington were highly
pleased at this arrangement.

STATE 01 EGYPT,

A letter from Alexandria, dated Oct. 4, says—
Since the Viceroy's return from his visit to Con-

stantinople troubles and anxieties, it is to be feared,
have been actively besetting him, not the least
harassing arising, as I need hardly add, from the

lamentable state of his finances.
Simultaneously with his return it became known
that the negotiations for the smaller Egyptian loan,
for which, as yon will remember, the Government
had entered into treaty at Paris, after the failure of
the first proposals, had been broken off. It is very
generally believed that the Pasha's own extreme
repugnance to the principal act of security required
of him—namely, the hypothecation of his revenues,

or the admission of foreign supervision over their
collection and expenditure—has in reality been the
great stumbling-block; but it is also said that a
peremptory prohibition in the matter has been laid
upon him by the Porte. The Turkish Government,
it is asserted, has expressly declared that it will
hear of no proposals whereby any part of the

Egyptian revenue might by any eventuality fall

into the power or under the control of subjects of a

foreign State.

Taking it as a matter of general principle, and
having regard to the peculiar circumstances and
political position of Egypt, one can hardly question
the right of the Turkish Government to exercise

such interference, nor even the wisdom of the views

it is represented to entertain on the question.
According to present appearances therefore the
idea of a foreign loan must be abandoned. But
another and a rather anxious problem still remains
—namely, whether this Government can be left to
its own unaided resources and efforts to extricate
itself from the difficulties in which it is placed—
whether, indeed, it has it in its power to do so. The
elements of the question can be described in very
few words. The debts of the Government, as I have
already mentioned, amount to about £10,000,000
sterling, consisting chiefly, besides arrears of pay
to its employes and the engagements to the Suez
Canal Company, of Treasury-bonds, the latter gene-
rally in the hands of Europeans of various nations.
The whole of this debt may be said to be due at
present and onwards, at various fixed dates, through
a period of two and a half to three years. By way
of assets, on the other hand, it may be calculated
that the Government has it in its rower, by practis-
ing the strictest economy and under otherwise
favourable circumstances, to realise an annual
surplus of revenue over current expenditure of
£1,000,000 to £1,500,000 sterling, or, say, about
one-eighth of the debt.

THE REGENERATING LOZENGE
MEDICAL SCIENCE has brought to light a
new and successful mode of administering remedies
for spermatic regeneration, contained in a simple lozenge.
known in tropical climates and throughout the world
as TnE TitrEsmAn. The therapeutic properties of the re-
generating lozenge promote those albuminous and fibrinous
secretions, which have the well-known power of at snce re-
producing and enriching the fecundating fluid, when dete-
riorated from its natural consistency. In cases where ex-
cesses have been blindly yielded to, from almost uncontroll-
able impulse, a single course of this invaluable medicine will
at once restore the ebbing powers, and re-energise the whole
of the muscular and nervous system ; there is no stage,how-
ever advanced, but immediate relief will he experienced, in-
suring health and manly vigour to the debilitated and ex-
hausted. The Triesmar can be taken at the will of the patient,
being a simple regenerating lozenge, agreeable to the palate,
and unattended with any personal inconvenience. Those
purchasing the above medicine will derive the additional ad-
vantage of medical advice, either personally or by letter
(without fee), from a member of the Royal College of Sur-
geons, England, and Licentiate of the Royal College of
Physicians, Edinburgh, who is registered under the new
Medical Act, has devoted his exclusive studies to the above
diseases, and is the discoverer of this great remedy. Post-
office orders to be made payable to William Medicus, and ad-
dressed to No. 19, Rerners-street, Oxford-street, London, W.
(next door to the Foreign Library), where the resident physi-
cian attends daily to give advice, between the hours of 11 and
4 o'clock. The medicine may be obtained, securely packed
and free from observation, as above. Prices 11s. per case, or
four cases in one 335., effecting a saving of lls., and in £5
cases, saving £1 12s.

PRINCE LEoPoLD 421

The Independance Belge of Monday evening pub-
lishes the following :

" Cannes, Dec. 18.
" The news of the death of Prince Albert reached the
young Prince Leopold, his son, in the midst of circum-
stances so melancholy and sad that they could not fail to
increase the horrors of that catastrophe. Taking advantage
of a charming morning the young prince had gone out to
sea to indulge in his favourite pastime of fishing. In re-
turning to his villa he observed that the countenance of his
principal servant was overcast, and that there were tears in
his eyes, The cause of this grief was not the death of Prince
Albert, which was then unknown, but the death of his go-
vernor, General Bowater, who had just died in the chamber
adjoining Prince Leopold's. At the news of this loss the
poor boy wept bitterly. Almost at the same moment there
appeared at the end of the hall a commissioner of the tele-
graph, bringing a telegraphic despatch. It was addressed
to the general, who was then lying dead. The envelope was
opened; it contained the fatal news—Prince Albert was
dead. His royal highness was at once taken into his room,
and I assure you that it is impossible to give any idea of the
desolation of this young child, thus smitten in his tenderest
affections. My mother I I must go to my mother,' he
cried in sobs. 'My mother will bring back him whom you
say has been taken from me—l want my mother.' Some
seconds afterwards they took him away altogether from the
mournful and desolate-looking house to the nearest hotel,
the Hotel de Bellevue, which is ordinarily patronised by
the English and French aristocracy. Shortly after an
English officer arrived from England, charged, it is said,
with the duty of taking the unfortunate orphan back to
England,"

fIN TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIREA;
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 Hypochrondriasis.

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 addressed 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 Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and 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 Spermatorrlicea and the
various forms of disease which resemole it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated 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. Pickl ord ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
It within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

THE SUN.
LONDON, WEDNEESDAY, DEC. 25, 1861.

What a Christmas day for Washington ! There,
they will naturally recall that of 1860, and will them-
selves be astonished to note the difference. Then,
as now, Congress was in full session, for it meets on
the first Monday in November, but BUCHANAN was
still on the throne of American Universal Suffrage.
LINCOLN had been elected on the 6th of November :
South Carolina had called its convention only four
days after, and five days before Christmas its con-
vention had voted secession—voted it unanimously,
and sent its invitations to all the other Slave States.
It had doubtless found encouragement from the Pre-
sidential Message itself, which was an elaborate im-
peachment of the North, and justification of
Southern complaints, and merely denied with the
feeblest reasoning that the Constitution was made
to be pulled to pieces. It must, however,
he confessed that in this Message Mr. BUCHANAN
did picture the inadequacy of war against any
seceding State for attaining its professed object of
reintroducing that State into a republican confede-
ration with the rest, in a manner which time and
experience seem not unlikely to prove correct. He
denied that the constitution gave power to make
war on a seceding State, but he also showed that,
while its object would be to preserve the Union, it
would prove the most effectual means of destroying
it—it would banish all hofe of reconciliation,
while even conquest could not compel the subju-
gated State to elect representatives and act as a
member of the federation of conquering States.
Thus stood things at Christmas last year in the
capital of the then Disuniting, now, perhaps for
ever, Disunited States. Secession begun, other
States invited to join the beginner, and though
declared by the President to be unconstitutional,
or
yet coercion of rebels was shown to be both uncon-
stitutional and.r a t

part of the Executive, doubtless greatly encouraged
the Seceders. They had three months before them
under a PRESIDENT who would not fight. His OWD
secretaries lent their haul to the work. The navy
was get as much as possible out of the way ; mili-
tary stores and aims were sent as quietly and
abundantly as possible to the South, but the
Federal soldiers who should have used them
were withdrawn, and Federal Southern forts
and arsenals were left in a condition for
the seceders to appropriate at pleasure. Con-
gress debated for evil rather than for good ; it
passed an infamous tariff, seeminglyintended to give
greater cause of complaint to the South, while it
vainly discussed compromise resolutions, which
could satisfy neither party. As the natural conse-
quence, before Mr. LINCOLN CO,lld assume the reins
