FOREIGN NEWS.
LATER FROM FRANCE


TIE intelligence by the packet Dutch.
ess d'Orleans, the arrival of which at New
York we announced yesterday, is but one
day later than we had by the Liverpool
our Paris date by the steamer being the
18th, and by the packet the 10Th Of Sep
tember.
The most interesting item of news is
merely negative-lt was not yet positively
known whether provision had or had not
been made for the payment oi the dishon-
ored drafts Of the u. States Bank on the
Messrs Ho,tingner.
The Paris Messenger says:
"The house of Messrs Rothschild which
held great part of the bills presented for
acceptance to Messrs. Holtinguer s. Co. 3,
has ntervened in support of the honor of
the American signatures. The bills, which
amount to ten millions, of which only two
millions aud half have been presented up
to this time to NIessrs. Hotlinguer, have
been accepted by Messrs. Rothschid. 1t
is stated that the refusal to accept by the
house of HottInguer arose from the Cir
cumstance of the bills OF ading of the cot
ton which was to serve as guarantee for
the bills drawn by the United States, not
having been sent with The letters of
advice, which simply stated that the cotton
which was to be cons gned to Messrs.
Hotlinguer was purchased. and would be
sen, by ihe FIRST vessels. BY the arrange
ment which has taken place, the cotton,
which was expected in London and Havre,
will be consigned to Messrs. Rothschild."
But private letters, of the latest date,
speak of the matter as still undetermined.
One, which we copy from the Journal of
Commerce, is as follows:
HAvRE, Sept. 81, 1899.
Cup TO last evening, the bills had not
been accepted; aud it is now ascertained
that nothing will be done until the return
of one of the partners of Messrs. Roihs-
child s. Co., who is absent from Paris"
The commolons in the department of La
Sarthe, of which we had accounts by the
Liverpool, had been somewhat angry, al
though not extensive or formidable. They
grew out of the deportation Of giain, which
the populace at Mons and other places be-
held with alarm, and resisted by force
Barrcades were erected, and small parties
Of gems darmeS, which attempted TO pre-
serve order, were assailed by the rioters
with stones and bludgeons. Troops had
been ordered to the department.
The Journal du Havre Of September
goth, under the head "Bourse de Paris,
l9th," says:
1t was announced that the prime pal bank
ing houses, wishing to prevent the embar-
rassments which would result from the re-
turn of the bills of exchange drawn by the
Bank Of the United States, were desirous
of acting in concert with the house of
Rothschild.

POETRY.
LovETHEE MORE AND MORE.

Faithful in fortunes darkest hour,
Till then our loves were dreams of youth
Twas then felt affections power,
Twas then proved thy bosom's truth.
Yes, when see the gushing tear
Bedlm the eye that thrilled before,
feel that thou indeed art dear,
And love thee, love thee more and more.
Walked from n soft Elysian trance
TO life's severe reality,
| find in thy more pensive glance
deeper, sweeter sympathy.
Our griefs as from one fountain spring,
Now that our mutual joys are Ger;
Yes-not a sorrow time mny bring,
But shall love thee more and more.
I'll clasp thee yet, TIL clasp thee yet,
Though passions burning hour is past,
Nor breathe one accent of regret
That the bright moments fled so fast
Nay, the more dark the sky may be,
And the more loud the storm may roar,
The closer will cling to thee,
And love thee more and more.
Thus far together have we come;
Nor be the hope the prayer supprest,
That we may reach our long, last home
Together, and united rest.
But, should my fate be first to die,
While Death stands beckoning at the door,
I'll turn to thee and family sigh,
Il love thee, love thee more and mnre.'

Scarcity of Mechanics, Laborers and
Building Materials. The great activity
which at present prevails in ilding ON
the Burnt District, and in erecting houses
in others parts of the City, has caused an
unusual demand for Mechanics, Laborers,
and Building Materials. Masons we up-
derstand. are not to be had at any price,
and laborer's wages are most extravagant,
a shilling, and, in some cases fifteen pence
an hour being demanded Bricks aud 9TH
er materials are selling at very high prices.
Persons at distance would de well to take
advantage of this extraordinary demand as
from present appea, ances it is likely to con-
,nue during the whole of next season.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Ingenious Mechanism. We find in an
old paper the following account of a curl
Gus piece of mechancism-equal in in
genuity to any thing which has been pro-
duccd in modern times 1.-THE celebrated
mechanic. James Droz, of Chaux de Fond,
in Switzerland, constructed a very curious
clock, which represented sheep-fold
On travelling in France he presented it to
the grandfather of King Ferdinand VII
while that monarch was on his Journey from
Naples to Madrid. When the hour was
striking, the shepherd took his pipe and
played an air; the tune caused the dog to
come and receive the caresses of his mas
ter. This mechanism produced in his
Majesty the greatest delight. Droz re-
quested his majesty, in order to prove the
fidelity of the dog, to take up an apple from
the basket beside the shepherd. The king
consented to make the experiment but
the dog pounced upon his band and barked
so loudly that the dogs that were in the
house took the alarm, and joined in the
attack upon his majesty. The whole court,
fancying that the evil spirit himself was
concealed in the clock, began to cross
themselves, and to take to their heels. The
Minister of Marine was the only one who
had courage to remain.

ii Prediction Verified. Mr.. Webster, IN
his great speech upon the Sub-Treasury
Bill in 1887, predicted d second suspension
of the banks if the Government should
continue its war upon them, The follow
ing was h's language:
"Sir, We may talk as much as We please
about the resumption of specie payments,
but tell you that, with Government thus
warning upon the banks, if resumption
should take place, ANOTHER SUSPENSION
FEAR WOULD FOLLOW. 1t is not war, sue
cessful, or unsuccessful, between Govern
ment and the banks; it is only PEACE,
TRUST, CONFIDENCE, that can restore the
prosperity of the country. This system OF
perpetual annoyance to the banks, this
boarding up of money which the country
demands for its own necessary uses, this
bringing of the whole revenue to act, not
IN AID and FURTHERANcE, but in DIRECT
HINDRANCE AND EMBARRASSMENT OF COM
MERGE AND BUSINESS, is utterly irreconcile-
able with the public interest We shall see
