MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

FOREIGN NOTES.

DISARMAMENT.

The rumours that the Emperor has at length decided
upon a definite policy, and has resolved to set the example
of disarmament, gain strength. The Patric, a semi-official
paper, confirms the statement that the army is to be
reduced ; and the Memorial Diplomatique adds that six
months' fourlough is to be granted to 30,000 soldiers. The
force is small, but the furlough is long. If it does not
signify a large disarmament, at least it looks like peace
for the present. There is, however, another rumour
current, that when the forthcoming manifesto is sent round,
it will transpire that the fulfilment of the Fifth Article of
the Treaty of Prague will be made an indispensable
condition. The Cologne Gazette, too, has concluded that
the manifesto is to be directed against Prussia, who could
not accept it, and that a war would be the consequence.
The Bourse, however, has not taken this sinister view
of things. It has gone up. Another little fact may be
mentioned. A map of France has been published, shewing
the boundary of the country in 1815, 1832, and 1868. It is
said that the Emperor has ordered this publication for the
purpose of shewing that the French have nothing to complain
of in the unity of Italy or the aggrandisement of Germany.
Others declare that the meaning of this oracular map is
quite different. It is to shew that the position of France is
now " too restricted ;" in other words, that there is no
opportunity of taking a slice out of any of the compact
nations round about. Truly, the Imperial regime must be
Pleasant to live under.

A LIFE OF LORD BROUGHAM.

Lord Campbell died seven years before Lord
Brougham, but he wrote Lord Brougham's life ; and
now that both biographer and biographee are dead,
Mr. Murray is publishing the biography. Lord Lynd-
hurst used to express great alarm lest Lord Campbell
should survive him and write his life. As a m atterof fact
Lord Lyndhurst was the survivor ; but that, it seems,
was no security against being made the subject of one
of Lord Campbell's " Lives of the Lord Chancellors."
They were all ready written, just as the biographical
notices which appear in our newspapers are, years
before they were wanted. We are to have Lord
Brougham now. how is it that we have not had
,NJord Lyndhurst ?

AUSTRIA.

The public business of Austria, though the Austrians,
both in war and diplomacy, are proverbially slow, does not
suffer from the neglect of the Emperor. His Majesty,
says the Times correspondeLt, is probably one of the
hardest-worked sovereigns in Europe. He is as
well up in the details of every administrative
business as any one of his officials, and, having
a very good memory, he often reminds those who work
with him of former decisions and precedents which may
throw some light on the business in hand. Conscientious
as he is, he reads everything submitted to him carefully ;
but such is his military regularity, that in spite of the
mass of papers he has to get through, they never accumu-
late on his desk. Delay and trouble are often caused, but
they are mostly the fault of the red-tape officials, who are
unable to see that the old style of government has passed
away. The private Chancellery of the Emperor is
answerable for the greatest amount of difficulty. Formerly
this department was all-powerful, for it had only to keep
tapers back, or forget to dispatch them, in order to
ensure a delay of any extent. Its tacit refusal to reform
is gradually bringing about its extinction.
The vacancy in the Ministry, that of the important
office of Minister President, has not been filled up. Several
names have been mentioned, but it appears the post is to
be kept open until the proceedings of the Reichsrath point
the way to a compact Ministry.
London, England, 1868-10-17

REMARKS.

The barometrical pressures over these is'ands have continued to
decrease, and are generally low, especially in the north: however,
the difference between these and those on the W. coast of Prance is
less than that reported the last two days—being only 'Tempera-
ture is generally lower. Yesterday a north-westerly gale was felt in the
S.W. of Ireland, and fresh westerly winds were reported from the
English ChanneL This morning the wind is westerly, but has
moderated. Rain has fallen in the S. and W., and is continuing In
places. The weather is fine in the north, but generally clow'y in
other districts. Hail is reported from Valencia, and lightning froze
Penzance. Weather is still unsettled.

THE VOLUNTEERS AND THE ELECTIONS. —His
Grace the Duke of Marlborough, lord-lieutenant of Oxford.
shire, has addressed the following letter, through Mr.
J. M. Davenport, of Oxford, clerk of the peace for the
County, to Captain. Parsons, captain-commandant of the
Oxford City Rifle Corps :—County Hall, Oct. 16, 1868.
Sir, lam desired -by his grace- -the lord-lieutenant, with
a view to the approaching .general election, and of the
proceedings preparatory thereto, to request that you will
give directions that volunteers in uniform are not to take
part in any political demonstration or party meeting.
Also, that you be careful not to assemble your corps for
drill or any other purpose, between the issue of a writ and
the termination of any election in the county.—l have the
honour to be, sir, your very faithful servant, JOHN Ar.
DAVENPORT. To Captain Parsons."

Tlikl LATE CABINET COUNCIL 111EET/Na.l

The object of the lath Cabinet Council meeting is
stated to be the settlement of the naturalisation
question with the United States. It had become
very urgent, and as Lord Stanley had allowed two
years to pass without doing anything in it except
appoint a commission of inquiry, the Government
felt that it was high time that some decisive steps
should be taken, in order that they might have some
achievement to refer to during the forthcoming
debate.

A FAILEWELI

Whatever may be thought of the Irish policy of
the late Ministry, there can be no doubt that they
were exceedingly fortunate in their Lord-Lieutenant.
The Duke of Abercorn has been most popular ; and
Earl Spencer will find the always-difficult task of
presiding at the Viceregal Court rendered the more
arduous by the fact that he succeeds so favourite a
Viceroy. The last of the Abercorn family took their
departure from Dublin amid a concourse of cheering
spectators, who waved their farewells to the music of
" Auld Lang Syne."

CHRISTMAS.

" What's Tile use of Christmas ? " some of our
cynical contemporaries are asking. " Why can't we
be let alone, to go on our way quietly without being
bothered so about ' this happy season of the year P'
We will pay our bill all right ; then let quarter-
day go past, and let us return to our work when it is
over, without so much noise." So moralise two of our
contemporaries,and the things which mostly raise their
wrath are the Christmas numbers and Christmas tales.
These produce nothing but dyspepsia; the stories are
old and badly told, the comment is sentimental
rubbish, and the readers bear with this " because it is
Christmas." But our friends the cynics, tear away
the mask from what looks like pleasure. What does
the Christmas dinner mean but indigestion ? What
does Christmas jollity mean but heavy bills ? and
the Pantomime and such like but an empty
purse with which to pay such bills. And as to the
holidays, they are given to nothing but " revel and
ungodly glee." Our contemporaries are exceedingly
angry with somebody who proposed four days' general
holiday. They are doubtless determined that the
current of their lives shall not be turned aside for a
season. We are not so sure, though, judging from the
depressed spirit that seems to pervade their writing,
but that a good day's hearty enjoyment would be
about the best thing they could have.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the-natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that aro loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

RUSSIA.

Russia, which contends with England for the honour of
being the most drunken nation in Europe, has discovered
that a great and exceptional evil is to be dealt with only
by exceptional measures. The Muscovite Government
has determined to tolerate an unrestricted liquor traffic
no longer. The Russians wittily designate their public-
houses "National Banks," on account of their inex-
haustible power of absorbing the savings of those who
frequent them. A new bank charter has been prepared
for the benefit of these institutions. Henceforth,
the price of corn-brandy is to be increased
threefold : no tavern will be allowed in any
main thoroughfare of St. Petersburg ; every tavern
shall be regarded as an inn, and pay the yearly duty of
£7O ; and no drinking-house shall be allowed within
eighty yards of a Government office—the last a very
stringent proviso in a capital where the public offices are
as numerous as the taverns themselves. The effect of
these regulations, in the capital at least, will be the
almost entire annihilation of the publican.
