kossurH STILL WRITEs.--ln his last letter
to the New York Times, published on the 9th,
the Hungarian Prophet predicts woe to France
and England as follows:
You will have seen BY this time that have
been right in saving that the fall of Sehasto-
pol is By far not the end Of the Crimean cam
paign. The defeat of the Russians at kars,
is "a brilliant revelation of the vitality of the
Turkish nation. Heaven grant they may get
reused to proper sense of national dignity:
because il is really heart-revolting TO see 10
what condition of absolute nonentity they
are reduced in their own house, bv those who
style themselves their allies, but act as their
most insolent masters. Strange complica-
tons will yet needs arise from that contempt
of Justice and want of regard.
The most remarkable fact in foreign poll
tcs--a fact s1dark as Erebus"--is the con-
cordat of Francis Joseph of Austria with the
Pope. The imbecile, resigned, cowardly of
all those rights of independence to which all
his ancestors, whatever else their crimes may
have been, adhered with anfeHittiHg tenaei
ty. The fact proves clearly how that man
must himself despair Of his to morrow, when
with such staff he should try to prop his fall
sure; quite the reverse but could ii even
save him, is it not sheer madness9 .'Proptsr

the matter is too important not to require to

Bread, and everything in consequence. is
rising in price alarmingly, and it is only Oc-
tober yet. The people are beginning to as
sumo an almost threatning aspect, for next

The Bank Of Eng land raised the discount to

Ter. Scarcity of bread, financial crisis is
imminent, and no money. You remember what
fuss there has been made about the brill
liant financial condition of France, Mt the
raising of the last loan. Seven hundred and
fifty millions wanted, and nearly four mil
lizards subscribed Very well now the first
one tenth lnstallment had 10 be paid in--a
tride OF fifteen millions Of dollars nothing
more, and the money is not forthcoming no
wise; nor one half Of il. II was mere moon
shine and Bourse gambling. Bonaparte is in
dreadful fix. AS drowning men cling to a
straw, he resorted last year to desperate
measures for keeping down the price of bread.
Now the scarcity is greater yet, and crowds
stop his carriage and shout ''bread.'' He
must proceed on his own precedent;-an has
no money "a new loan is evidently impossi-
hle. They Talk Of a large emission of Bank
Of France notes but for this the aid of the
Bank Of England is thought necessary. A
combined measure Of the suspension Of pay
ment in cash is talked Of. s'Financiers''
break their heads in devislng some trick. but
the necessity Is urgent-and no prospect of

fetal prosperity is bursting. Recollect l7So.

| SINGULAR AND AMUSING DuEL-An English
man and Prussan went out to fight duel
| the other day at Baden Baden. The English
man was so lucky as to win the first fire, and
so unlucky As to miss his adversary The
latter now had only to shoot at his man at
ease, and prepared to take his aim according

stop-Pll buy your shot" The first impres
sion made was that Of the novelty of the pro.
posal the second that it contained the pre-
liminaries Of u mutually profitable transac.

! were accordingly entered upon and the two
leading elements were, that the Englisbmar
was rich and the Prussian a good shot The
redemption was valued at FL ,00o and the
parties returned to the city, alike satisfied
with their bargain.
