HOSPITAL FOR CATs.-Bayard Taylor.
in letter to the .Ns,u York Tribune from
Aleppo, gives the following account of
hospital for cats existing in that city:
1t was founded long ago by rich cat
loving Mussulman, and is one of the best
endowed institutions in the city. An old
mosque is appropriated to the purpose, un-
der the charge of several directors and
here sick cats are nursed, homeless cats find
shelter, and decrepit cats gratefully purr a
way their declining years. The whole cat
egory embraces several hundred, and it is
quite sight to behold the court, the corri-
doris and terraces of the mosque swarming
with them. Here one with bruised limb
is receiving cataplasm there cataleptic
patient is tenderly cared for; and so on,
through the long concentration of feline dis
eases. Aleppo, moreover, rejoices in
greater number Of cats than even Jerusalem.
At rough guess, should thus state the
population of the city Turks and Arabs,
10000; Christians of all denominations Is,
600; Jews, 10000; dogs, $4,000; and cats,
5000.

The Fowl Fever.

It would seem by the following para
qraphs, which we extract from the New
England Cultivator, that the fowl fever has
by no means abated:
At the late Boston fowl exhibition, in
September, three Cochin Chinas were sold
at 500. A pair of grey Chittagongs at
$50. Two Canton Chinese fowls at $50.
Three grey Shanghe chicks at $75. Three
white Shange at 1854. Six white Shangh@
chickens $40 to $45, &C., and these prices
for similar samples, could now be obtalned'
again and again.
Within three months extra samples OF
two wear old fowls, of the large Chinese va
rieties, have been sold for 500 the pair
Several pairs within our own knowledge
have commanded $50 pair, within the
past six months. Last week we saw TRIO
of white Shanghes sold in Boston tor $40.
And the best specimens Of Shangh9s and
Cochin China fowls now bring S2O to $50
pair, readily, to purchasers at the South
and West.
These prices do not equal, however, the
sums which have been recently obtained IN
England for fancy fowls. The Cottage
Gardner says:
Within the last few weeks, gentleman
near London has sold pair of Cochin Chi
ma fowls for so guineas $3.50 and another
pair for 39 guineas ($1609 He has been
offered EGO for single hen; has sold nu,
merous eggs for guinea, ($5) each, and
has been paid down for chickens just hatch

Governor Foote's Inaugural,

Governor FooTE, in his inaugural address
10 the Legislature Of MississiPpi-received by
last nights mail-revews the exciting con
tests Of the country during the last few years,
and dwelis briefly but emphatically on the
character and recommendations Of the various
measures composing the Compromise. He re-
iers to the hearty approval which nineteen
twentieths Of our population have given to that
plan Of adjustment, and expresses hope that
the Senate Of the United States will, with
nearly equal unanimity, record their adhesion

with the utterance Of desire to see dissensions
buried, and the State devoting its energies to
the development Of its own resources and the
Advancement Of schemes calculated TO promote

Russia is now, as we here see, spinning al
most all her yarns, and the growth Of consump-
ton is more rapid she thus renders herself
independent Of Britain. Under protection she
has increased her consumption of cotton, in
four years, more than fifty per cent; while this
country, under id,cs dictated Ly cotton planters.
has, in three years. decreased its consumption
twenty FIVE per cent. Such is the benefit 10
the producers Of cotton from the adoption Of the
British free trade policy.
Every nation prosPers in proportion as it cuts
itself loose from Great Britain, as is shown in
Belgium, North Germany, Russia, and in our
own action under the tariff Of lSl2; while
every nation or community that has free trade
with Great Britain is in a state Of paralysis or
ruin, as witness Ireland, India, and Portugal.
And how could it be otherwise, when it is seen
that, even under the partial protection of the
tariff Of 1876, our consumption, Of cotton and
woollen cloth, Of iron, lead, and Of numerous
other commodities, diminishes from year to
year, notwithstanding our rapid growth Of popu-
lationl Throughout the world this is becoming
from day to day more obvious, and the couse-

that the export Of food from this country to
Great Britain, which, in 1867, reached
twenty seven millions, has fallen gradually IN

News from Europe.

We learn by telegraph that the steamship
America arrived at Halifax yesterday. with
three days later news from Europe.
The most important intelligence is, that a
misunderstanding had occurred between LOUIS
NAPOLEON and Lord NORMANDY, the British
ambassador at Paris, and that the latter was in
consequence about to return to England Such
Il step would not be taken if the difference
were not Of the most serious character 1t is
stated that matters relating to Belgium formed
the ground of this diplomatic rupture.
France continued quiet. The promulgation
Of the constitution had been postponed ten days.
One hundred and ten lives were lost by the
burning of the steamer Amazon.
An arrival from the Cape of Good Hope had
brought tidings of further disasters to the
British troops engaged in conflict with the ma
tves Of that colony.
The ship Columbus, from New Orleans for
Liverpool had been wrecked near Waterford
Four passengers and eight of the crew perish
ed; the remainder and the captain were saved.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool during the
week amounted to fortyeight thousand bales.
Prices were unchanged. Flour was firm, and
corn improving.

least, the exact attitude Of the Government TWEEN

Ill it has reached, in the last fiscal year, the
miserable amount of little more than eight mill
lions of dollars as follows:

The object of Great Britain in maintaining
the system commonly called free trade, is that
OF having all the nations of the world to make
their exchanges in her markets. that she may
there fix the price Of all they buy and all they
sell. The greater the mass forced upon her
market the cheaper she buys, and the larger
her profits on all she sells and thus it is that
she enrlches herself at the cost of all her custom
ers. She is the great shopkeeper. She de-
sires to buy cheap and sell dear. Her interests
and those Of her customers are always opposed
to each other; the consequence Of which is that
all Of them now desire to render themselves as
speedily as possible independent Of her. Thus
far she is not practically alone - but we are
disposed to think that when our farmers shall
awake to the fact that after closing our furna-
ces and mills, and our iron, coal, and lead mines,
and thus diminishing the domestic demand for
food to the extent ofat least hundred million of
dollars, the only return they receive is that
she purchases less of their food than she did six
years since, during the existence of the tariff Of
1872" and that her market is of less value
to them than is that of the coal region of Penn
sylvana which latter might be doubled in four
years, they will be strongly disposed to follow
the example Of Germany, and adopt for their
motto efficient protection as the only road to
perfect freedom Of trade" and then it will be
that Britain will realize the fact that she has
made enemies everywhere and friends nowhere,
and that she is really and in truth practically
alone"
-The export of food to that country in 1856,
before the repeal of the Corn laws, exceeded ten
millions of dollars.

The Union takes exception to the distinction
we pointed out in the alleged offences Of the

the remark that O'BRrEN and two other Of the
prisoners were arragned and convicted on a
charge Of treason. Without entering upon
controversy which would be as pro,racted and

we may remark that the Union advances step

lies upon the defence put forward by the pri-
sOners' counsel as conclusive evidence Of the
exact nature Of their offences II is not
usual IN American law courts 10 speak Of Of

charge aud the verdict; and the Union will
have difficulty ~ showing that the charge, the
verdict, and the sentence were not exactly as
we described them. aud therefore precisely
the opposite Of what the" Union assumes 10 be
facts" The circumstance that the parties were
kept SIX months 10 prison after conviction, and
that "a special act' was fnally passed to en-
able the British government 20 transport them,
does not alter the case rs the Union doubtless
remembers that the reason urged in support ol
that piece Of er post Jarto Legislation was, that
though 10 law amounting to treason, the "ns
ing" OF O'BRIEN and his associates was not o
character to call for the extreme penalty
