New FRENCH LoAN-The London Daily
Ne,cs, on the faith Of advices from its Partisan
agent, announces that the French minister Of
fgance is about to raise loan Of eight millions
sterling, about Sl00Oo,00O; but this news u
not confirmed by the other newspapers, although
no doubt the Presidents government will shortly
be embarrassed for resources. The same 'au-
thority states that Louis Napoleon is going to
abolish the de roi duties aad the tax on wines
To supply the deficit that must result from
these measures, the government thinks Of laying
a heavy tax en- the rich classes, il will be seen
that both 'polit cally and financially, Louis Ma
u,eon ia playing desperate and hazardous
game. and il is predicted that financial embar
easements will eventually join with other con
tineencies 10 hasten the fall Of the French die
tator.

The correspondent of the London Tines
writing from Vienna, under date Of Dec. 10th,
makes the following statements;
formerly frequently limited that circumstan-
ces induced me to believe that this government
cherished the idea of sooner or later dealing a
severe blow against the commerce OF England,
and that this was one OF the principal motives
for its ardent desire to form German Austrian
Customs Union. My suspicious are now changed
into something very like certainty, for since
Louis Napoleon has become dictator, the hostil-
ity to England has become more strongly pro-
nounced than ever, and the introduction of a
continental system (sperre) is now openly spo-
ken of as a consummation deyoutly to be wished
The LLOYD Of yesterday contains All article on
the subject, which deserves your attention; the
writer is of opinion that all European, and par
ticularly all German powers, must feel it duty
to combine in taking defensive measures against
the English system of plumber" As the last
half of the article is directed against Prussia,
must suppose that the refusal of that power
to share in the Austrian customsconferenc
on the I'd of January is correct. The ancient
jealousy between the rival dynasties is as great
as ever, and Prussia is evidently determined not
to be taken in tow by her powerful rival if she
can avoid it. In their wrath people here are
deaf TO reason, and flatter themselves that the
French will sacrifice their profitable export trade
with England, in order to join them in COM
plete continental prohibitive system.

STATISTICS OF GEoRGA-From an abstract
of the statistics of Georgia compiled by author
ity of The Legislature from the authentic r, cords
of the United States census for 1850, we gather
the following interesting facts.
There are in the State of Georgia 4l,7S6
white persons over twenty years of age who
cannot read or write. The county of Baldwin
has the smallest number in proportion to its
population-there being only ten white persons
over the age of twenty in the county who can.
not read or write, out of population of 1921 !;
that is one TO every 252 of her white population
In Cherokee county there are one thousand nine
hundred and four persons who cannot read or
write, out of total white population Of nine
thousand one hundred and sixty one near two.
tenths of her whole white population cannot
read or write. There are in operation in the
State, one thousand four hundred aud seven
manufacturing establishments producing AM ual.
ly over $500.
There are l450 schools, colleges and acadc-
mics in the State, with one thousand six hundred

was made on the ground that suit cannot be
