MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

From the Anglo-American Times.)
PARIS, Feb. 13.
Tempora nuttantur, and now we believe in spring
as a settled fact. As Mr. \Veller's picman observed,
" Fruits is in, cats is out ;" deer, pheasants, and par-
tridges
have disappeared, to be succeeded by new
potatoes, haricots yells, green peas, &c., which
already appear in the markets from Algeria; and
the longer days, the soft breeze, and warm
sun, denote one of the quickest transitions of the
season that I have ever known. Work, too, is
more easily obtained, the grand magazines of
fashion are again open to their numerous employ6s,
whose wages recal Hood's celebrated song of " The
Shirt," but nevertheless save
many a poor girl
and helpless widow from starvation ; and though
Scotch and English winter fabrics of John Manby
And Co.'s well-known establishment have not en-
tirely disappeared from his windows, a mélange of
lighter fabrics indicates more truly than many a
barometer, the advent of spring. Talking of
fashions, by the bye, which are not much in my
line, one of the greatest alterations, it is said, will
be in the disappearance for some time of the jet
trimmings and ornaments which have for so long
and which ar,3 now been the rage in Paris,
suc-
ceeded by a very elegant combination of black satin
cord and buttons, handsome enough to turn the
head of many a fair dame, and turn out the pockets
of her husband. Bread will rgain be cheap, as
large importations of wheat have come into Paris.
During the last week 118,000 hectolitres arrived in
one consignment from Marseilles. Politics are at
a standstill, and the war-cloud so readily descried
by alarmists appears to have passed away
from the horizon. The law relative to the
Press is still in discussion before the Le-
gislative Assembly, and another important
article has received ratification, which, in ditninish-

ing the existing tax upon journalism, will probably
tend to the increase of that branch of literature,
and a corresponding decline in cost of the article
supplied. It is said that the arrangements making
for the great International Maritime Exposition,
which will take place at Havre in June, and last
until October, are now nearly complete, the aqua-
rium being more than half as large again as that at
the Universal Exposition of the Champ de Mars,
resembling rather one of the immense basaltic
caverns of Fingal than an ordinary aquarium. Of
course the Fine Arts find admission to the Exposi-
tion at Havre, but the great peculiarity of this Ex-
hibition is its especial reference to everything mari-
thne—from the numerous varieties of fish from every
part of the world, which will be found in the aqua-
rium, to the most important improvement in naval
architecture. Less extensive in its aim than the

Universal Exhibition at Paris, it nevertheless
presents a more attractive singularity, and I feel
certain that those of our American and English
friends who may come over will find that they have
not thrown their time away. his lloliness the
Pope appears to be in funds at present, notwith-
standing his recent warlike defences, as he has for-
warded to the Archbishop of Algeria the sum of
5,000 francs, for the benefit of the native Arab
population, who are suffering terribly from famine ;
whilst, in acknowledgment of the benefits accorded
to the Catholics in Egypt by Ismail Pacha, he has
forwarded to that Prince a rich casket, containing
nine cameos and precious stones, set in gold—the
cameos representing the engravings and allegorical
devices found on the cuirass of a magnificent statue

supposed to be that of Caesar Augustus, which was
_. . .._.

discovered two years ago at Campo Fiori, Rome.
His Holiness has forwarded a similar present to his

Majesty the Sultan for the protection accorded to
the Catholics in Turkey. One of the greatest suc-
cesses amongst the fair sex at Paris has been that
of Mademoiselle Rachel, who, it appears, has brought
to a high degree of perfection the botanical dis-
coveries of the family in regard to permanently
beautifying the human species ; at all events, if the
good folks of Paris are determined to embellish their
personal appearance, it is certainly more desirable
to avoid the ordinary poisonous cosmetics so
much in vogue, and to select a system which
combines a knowledge of the properties of
aromatic herbs with an application at the
same time of the plainest and most useful rules of
medical science. Judging from the costly cadeaux
of bijouterie which have been presented to this
young lady, it would appear that her Clientele have
every reason to be satisfied; and it reminds one of
the proposed testimonial in Monte Christ() to be
erected by a grateful world to the Dealer in Ilatchis.
The carnival is still dragging
itself along merrily,
and rapidly approaching its termination with the
" Mardi Gras." A new piece has been brought out at
the Ambigu Comique,
entitled " The Crime of Fa-
verne," which again introduces to a French audience
the celebrated actor, F. Lemaitre. The Fantaisies
Parisiennes have brought out a very pretty piec ?,
" The Return of the Crusaders." At the Gymnase
Le Comte Jacques attracts nightly crowded audi-
ences. At the Cirque Napoleon a new gymnast,
who goes by the name of Avolo, throws Leotard
into the shade, whilst for scenic decoration and
splendid emblems the Theatre Imperial du Chatelet
and the Theatre Forte St. Martin stand unrivalled.
The Chatelet is, perhaps, the largest theatre in
Paris, being capable of containing at least 3,000

persons, and at present " Gulliver's Travels" have
afforded an opportunity to the French author or
authors to produce an improbable kind of panto-
mimic romance, of which the scenic effect atones
for its extravagances of style. The French have
exqui:ite taste in these affairs, and " Gulliver"
in particular contains one or two scenes which
I have never seen surpassed, indeed equalled.
The sudden breaking up of the ice whilst he and
his companion are lying on an iceberg, showing in
the distance the flying Island Laputa illuminated
by the rays of the sun, which strike vividly upon
the rich and quaint costume and weapons of the
guards standing immovably at posts, and again the
view of the city of Lilliput, its bridges and draw-
bridges with the sea in the distance, and lastly the
exquisite fairy scene presented in the gardens of the
Sorcerer of the Lakes, with a combination of costumes
and colours of the richest and most vivid description,
not forgetting a well arranged ballet to fill up
the centre—are most especially worthy of notice,
and it is not to be wondered at that " Gul-

liver" has been, and continues to be, a success
in Paris. A splendid ball took place at the Hotel
de Ville on the evening of the 13th. I observe that
the good citizens have purchased the Pavilion of the
Bey of Tunis, with the intention of setting it up in
the midst of one of the principal squares or prome-
nades. The Palais d'lndustrie has been let for a
period of five years to the Societe Hippique Fran-
gaise. At the ball which took place on the sth, at
the Tuileries, the following Americans were pre-
sented by their Minister :—Mr. and Mrs. Durant,
Mr. and Miss Toppan, Mrs. Crane, Mr. and Miss
Robbins, Miss Harbeck, and Mr. Van Chef, of New
York ; Mr. and Mrs. Bross, of Chicago ; Miss Til-
ton, of Brooklyn ; Mrs. Field and Mrs. Ralton, of
San Francisco; Mr. and Miss Blanchard, Mr. Bowles,
and Mr. and Miss Curtis, of Boston ; Miss Sims, of
Alabama ; and Miss Wolfe, Mr. and Mrs. Brittan,
Miss Fuller, and Miss Winters.

NAPLES, 7th Feb., 1868.

The landslip at Santa Lucia has proved less fatal
to human life than what was believed at first. It
occurred at an hour when the shops were closed,
and the people out of the houses. The number of
deaths is estimated at nine, and all were killed at
once by the fall of the ruins, as the vaults where
some were expected to have taken refuge, when
reached after most difficult tunnelling, were found
empty. Only a poor cat was found alive, but mad-
dened by fright and hunger, so it escaped one kind
of death, but met another by drowning in the
neighbouring sea.
Much astonishment was caused here by Reuter's
Telegram in the Times, that part of Vesuvius, oppo-
site the Castello Nuovo, had fallen, burying the
houses. Considering there are above ten miles
between the two points, people knowing the locali-

ties must have been rather puzzled.
Vesuvius since yesterday is again more active,
and the eruption appears likely to last some time

longer.

A Convocation was held at the University of
Oxford on Thursday last, when a grant of books
from the University Press was agreed to be made
to the University of the Southern States of America.
It was then proposed that the sum of £350 should
be given from the University chest towards re-
storing the buildings of the said University, destroyed
in the war. This was opposed, and rejected on a
division by 63 votes to 60. The opposition to both
grants was led by Mr. Goldwin Smith, and it is
stated that the main cause was the fear that an af-
firmative vote would be taken in America as an ex-

pression of sympathy with the South. We are sorry
that the Southern College lost the proposed aid
through so ridiculous an idea. The larger the sums
given by Oxford or any other university for educa-
tional purposes in the South the lighter will be the
burden which now bears so heavily on Northern
generosity. Large sums are subscribed in the
Northern States for the purpose, and although the
donors would oppose endowments to any seminary
likely to teach treason, yet they would thankfully
receive any aid towards liberal and enlightened
education for their Southern fellow-citizens.

The steamer Island City, in which Colonel Henry
R. Foote is about to test hii system for generating
steam by liquid fuel, was built on the Clyde, and
used during the war as a blockade runner. The
oil for the first short trip has been placed in two
tanks, one on either side of the boiler, each hold-
ing 1,000 gallons. These tanks are securely fas-
tened to the side of the ship, and replenished through
an orifice in the deck. The Colonel has improved
the retorts for vaporizing the oil by the introduc-
tion of air and steam. Various experiments in ma-
nufacturing establishments have proved the utility
of petroleum in generating steam. Instead of eight
firemen and a corresponding number of coalheavers
required by such steamers as the Island City, one
man can manage the four fires, which are easily
regulated by stopcocks. Great interest is excited,
and if the steamer makes a good run from Boston
to New York, it may be the precursor of a revo-
lution in generating steam, especially for the pro-
pulsion of ships.
J. Ross Browne, of California, has been nominated
by the President Minister to China in place of
Anson Burlingame. This appointment has caused
surprise at Washington, as no resignation or inti-
mation that any was intended had been received
from Mr. Burlingame, for which it is thought Mr.
Johnson should have waited. Mr. Browne can be

ill spired from his important duties in the Pacific
States. The progress of mining is of far more
moment than any diplomatic duties at Pekin, and
Mr. Browne, after a lengthened, expensive, and toil-
some experience, which has given him a fund of in-
formation, will, if the President has his way, be
suddenly transferred from the field of his labours
to the Celestial Empire. Mr. Cox's appointment
as Minister to Austria will probably be passed by
the Senate, as the Committee on Foreign Relations
has reported favourably upon his nomination. Mr.
John P. llale, it is said, resigned his post at Madrid
on a hint from Secretary Seward. William D.
Bishop, of Connecticut, has been nominated Com'.
missioner of Patents, but it is doubtful if the Senate
will confirm the appointment. Francis S. Price, of
New Jersey, has been nominated Consul-General
to Havannah. There are rumours of changes in
the Cabinet, and one is that Mr. Banks will succeed
Stanton as Secretary for War.
A great fire broke out in the heart of the busi-
ness portion of Chicago on the night of the 28th.
January, and continued burning for two days. It
commenced in the shoe store of M'llougal
and Nichols, in Lake-street, destroying that build-
ing known as Birch's block, and rapidly extending
to other blocks. More than twenty of the prin-
cipal. business houses suffered. The great book-
selling firm of Griggs and Co. were among them.
The losses are estimated at $2,500,000. The Etna
Insurance Company, of Hartford, loses by this
event $250,000.
Cyrus W. Field has been presented by George
Peabody with a cpstly silver service, manufactured
by Messrs. Starr and Marcus, of John-street, New
York, consisting of 13 highly ornamented pieces,
each adorned on the one side with a med ►llion head
of Mr. Field, and on the other with that of Mr.
Peabody. It is not in recognition of the service
that Cyrus Field has rendered to the world in the
Atlantic Cable that this testimonial is given, but,
in the words of the inscription, it is presented " by
George Peabody to Cyrus W. Field, in testimony
and commemoration of an act of very high commer-
cial integrity and honour. New York, 24th No-
vember, 1866."
The Russian Minister has lately had two inter-
views with Mr. Seward touching the ratification of
the Russian-America Treaty. A new difficulty has
arisen about payment. While the negotiations were
pending a bill for $lO,OOO was quickly run up to
the Atlantic Cable Company, and the question is,
Who is to pay it? Mr. Seward considers that
Russia should settle the account, and Russia that
it ought to fall on the United States. Until this is
decided the appropriation is held in abeyance by the
Congressional Committee.
On Wedneslay the Evening Standard brought
out, under a highly sensational heading, the letter of
its Washington correspondent, dated from that city,
January 31, b p.m. The Standard has for years
laid itself out for sensational American intelligence.
It was "Manhattan" who gave to that journal a

push so vigorous that it is enabled with some degree
of truth to head its leading columns with the
gigantic figures it declares to represent its circula-
tion. Our " stodgy" old Tory contemporary can-
not refrain from a policy which has produced so
gratifying a result, and when " Manhattan's" career
came to an end his place has been supplied by
another vigorous sensational writer. This corre-
spondent is evidently the bosom friend of the Pre-
sident. He assists in his deliberations, he is
the confidant of his griefs and troubles as well
as his champion, and through Mr. Johnson's aid the
Standard is supplied with the exciting news that
sets all England on the qui vine. He writes :
" I have official authority for stating that Mr. John-
son declares that he will present, as the ultimatum
of the United States, the settlement of the so-called
Alabama claims' upon the basis heretofore insisted
upon by this Government, or suspension of diplo-
matic relations between the two countries. The
demand, I am informed, will be made promptly,
and a prompt response will be expected. The Pre-
sident has long contemplated this step. He believes
that the American people are ready to support him
in the movement, and he believes that the internal
condition of England is such that your Government
will, for policy's sake, be compelled to acquiesce in
the demand. The subject has been debated in
Cabinet meetings during the three weeks just past ;
to-day the president declared his intentions. He
asserts that he alone has the power to promulgate
the contemplated summons ; that Congress has no
power to interfere, and dare not interfere, had it
the right to do so." Again he makes Mr. Johnson
exclaim to Mr. Jeremiah Black, " By God, I mean
to have a Cabinet that will support me in any po-
licy," and to have expressed the opinion that
" England should prepare to pay what she owes
us, or prepare to fight." The man thus repre-
sented has cordially received her Majesty's Minis-
ter, Mr. Thornton. Gold shows a tendency to
fall; Congress is ordering the sale -of surplus

ironclads, and the curtailment of military ex-
penditure ; the army is reduced to the lowest point,
and, excepting the usual "stump" speeches directed
to secure votes for the coming Presidential election,
there is not the slightest sign on the part of the na-
tion of the sanguinary intentions attributed to the
President. Mr. Seward is represented as studiously
preventing a settlement of the Alabama question
for the purpose of making political capital out of it
as occasions arise, but his chief is new described as
about to embark in the rough-and-ready mode of
" Your money, or your life." Yet the President,

it is asserted, takes his cue on foreign policy from
the Secretary of State. The news by the France is
that contradictory accounts from Washington have

appeared in the
,New York papers regarding the
Alabama claims. One asserts that the President
has resolved to bring the question to an immediate

issue ; another avers that the report has no founda-
tion, but that a correspondence on the subject of
the claims will be at once opened through Mr.
Thornton. The plan of settlement by arbitration
is said to have been abandoned.
The intelligence from New York by the France
is to February 2, and the news there published from
Peru is to the 12th January, which confirms the
disastrous defeat of Prab by the revolutionists be-
fore Arequipa, and state 3 that he retreated in dis-
order upon Lima, narrowly escapin g capture. Prado
afterwards left for Chili. Intense excitement pre-
vailed at Lima and Callao. The whole country is
now held by the revolutionists. _ _

Her Majesty's Consul at Havre, Frederick Ber
ual, Esq., has called the attention of his country-
men to the International Maritime Exhibition,
which will open there on the Ist June, and which, as
yet, has scarcely excited any notice in England.
lie thinks this neglect a mistake, by all connected
with the mercantile marine, and attributes it to
their ignorance of the wide scope and importance
of the Exhibition. In the seaports and large towns
of France the greatest interest has been •excited,
an influential committee has been formed in New
York to organise a proper exhibition of American
naval objects and appliances, and the Emperor and
the Prince Imperial give their earnest patronage
and support. Mr. Sumner proposed to the Senate
to send representatives, but this was rejected after
a discussion. Mr. Bernal desires to make the public
aware that information will be furnished on appli-
cation to him.

NEW YORK MARKETS.

(From the Correspondent of the Anglo-American Times.)

NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 1868.

The refiux of money from the West to the East has set
strongly in, and added to the glut caused by the dulness
of trade. The supply is, therefore, very large at 4to
5 per cent., and discounts are easy at 6 to 7 per cent. for
first class names, and 8 to 9 per cent for others. The
Banks have great difficulty in employing profitably and
securely their heavy balances, and the large remittances
daily received from the country adds to the plethora. At
Boston 5 per cent. is the rate on call, and even in the West
the rates are working easier, in spite of the drain to the
East. Gold has not much varied, and closed yesterday at
1401. Early in the week it touched 141 f, bat the gold
room not being agitated by any exciting rumours, there
were nor.e of those violent fluctuations lately witnessed.
The exports of gold from New York for the week and year
were $1,069,300 and $6,979,831, and this week $157,000
have gone out. The total receipts, this year, from
California and Aspinwall are $978,615. Since July
1, 1867, the exports have been $34,367,517 against
$19,313,481, and the deliveries from California $17,413,017
against $26,559,318. The gold received at New York for
customs in the same time was $62,042,133 against
$70,421,505, and the gold interest paid in the same city
was $46,433,019 against $32,854,463. The exports (ex-
clusive of specie) from New York for the week and year
were $3,260,323 and $13,360,701 against $3,210,976 and
$13,908,549. Silver is 6 to 7 cents below gold, and
Mexican dollars are 1021 to 103 f in gold. Exchange is
firm, with more business doing, and a better demand for
bills, of which there is but a limited supply. I enclose
the report of Mr. Delmer, of the Bureau of Statistics,*
who gives a valuable table of the number of miles of rail-
road completed in the several States at the close of 1867,
and the cost of construction and equipment. Also a tablet of
the earnings of the principal railroads for 1867 as compared
with 1866. The earnings of tho Central Pacific, of which
94 miles from the wharves of Sacramento to the top of
the Sierra Nevada have been opened for business during
1867 have amounted to $1,200,000 in gold. It is estimated
that the road will work this year an average of 200 miles,
and net $3,000,000. The inflation policy of Congress has
given a spur to speculation in stocks and shares. It is
expected that the President will veto the Anti-Contrac-
tion Bill, and that Congress will pass it over the veto. The
abundance of money, and the hope of more when the in-
flationists begin to work their will, has sent New York
Central, Erie, and Hudson River—the lines which are to
benefit by the consolidation—up to the highest point they
have tone' ed for a year. The movement upwards is some-
what checked, and a slight decline followed. But the New
York Central sold on Monday at 1321, Erie at 781, and
Hudson River at 147. They closed yesterday respectively
at 1311, 74, and 145 f, which represents a considerable fall
from the best point. The quarterly report of the New
York National Banks gives their condition on the first
Monday is January, and the following aro the aggregates

coffee trade of the United States shows the largest im-
portation since duty was levied in 1859 ; 226,322,8111 b.
were imported during 1867, as compared with 165,392,983
lb in 1866. The figures of the statistical bureau prove
immense coal trade. The ant hracite coal of the United States
during 1867 was 12,650,571 tons, which compared with

last year is an increase of 271,081 tons. The total pro-
duction during the year amounted to 25,800,000 tons. Of
this 5,000,000 tons were consumed in the interior. Of the
remainder, the Central Railroad of New Jersey alone car-
ried to tide-water in the vicinity of Now York 1,367,903
tons of anthracite, or 27,654 tons more than in 1866. Of
this amount 206,391 tons of Lehigh and 843,667 of Lacka-
wanna were delivered at Elizabeth, New Jersey. For Boston
and vicinity the larger portion of the supply of anthracite
coals comes by boat from Philadelphia. Tho arrivals from
that port last year were 435,061 tons, while Boston's total
consumption was 797,661 tons, including 13,991 from Groat
Britain and 103,419 from the British provinces. At Pittston
in the Pennsylvania coal region coal for domestic con-
sumption costs only $2.75, or, including cartage,
$3.75. In New York it costs from $l7 to $l9, and the
difference is the allowance made for profits and freights.
On the whole, the trade has not been profitable, and
though better now than a year ago, prices are not good.
The dry goods market is in a better condition, and prices
have slightly adranced. Although the improvement is
not general the tone is firm, and as spring advances more
activity is expected. Cotton has improved 2 cents within
the fortnight ; the impression being that the crop in this
country will next season be very short. The estimate at
Now York is 52,500 bales, and at all the ports of the
country 345,000, against 560,000 at this time last year ;
618,000 bales have been exported since Sept. 1, and from
New York 173,800. New York has received during this
period 293,646 bales, and all ports 1,008,000.

[ADVERTisEmENT.]—Henceforth no one will doubt the Valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta AralAd,
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessii%
it has already received from Invalids whose position had be:,
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Vriii
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty ye tits
of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gaul of
du Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1866.—" The health.,ii
the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning 'g
other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Dullol
Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateco
at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beue°4,lo
effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise •of
excellent food too highly." We extract a few out 900
more than 68,000 cures:—Cure No. 58,216, of the Marchiou
de Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint, wasting uI,,J
debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation all over, ~,r,
digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the most intolerable 014
vous agitation. Cure No. 1,771: Lord Stuart do Decies, 1"3°.2

of Frimley, Surrey, of 30 years' diseased lungs, spitting of
liver derangement, and partial deafness Important Cautl°.ooo
