FINE CUT CHEWING TOBACCO,


By Messrs. E. GOODWIN BRO, NEW YoRK CITY.
TOBACCO Of the BEST QUALITY is selected, neat
ly wrapped in TIN FOIL, and PATENT PRESSED.
The great advantages Of this over other brands
consist in the size Of tie packages rendering it
convenient to carry in the pocket and by being
PRESSED SOLID, it keeps MOIST and FRESH, re-
tains its FULL RICH FLAVOR, and improves in quail
y is used while in other brands, as soon as the
package is opened, the quality rapidly DETERTo-
RATEs--the tobacco growing dry-and lttering the
pocket to the great annoyance Of the consumer The
dressing which the PATENT TOBACCO undergoes in
the process of manufacture frees it from all grit
Impurities so Objectionable in the of Plug Tobacco

New YORK, Nov. 2, M.-The steamer
Figo, which sailed from Liverpool on the
9th, and from Queenstown on the following
day, arrived here this morning 1t is now
asserted that the statement that England
and France had settled the basis of the pro-
posed congress, at least premature.
4 Berlin dispatch of the sthl says it was
reported there on reliable authority that ut
the interview, held at Breslin, the Emperor
of Russia and the Prince Regent of Prussia
determined not TO consent to II revision OF
the treaty of 1916, nor to take part in any
congress in which England would not be
represented, the last resolution being pro-
posed by Prussia.
ENGLAND.-The weather continued very
stormy, and had proved disastrous to ship
ping off the coast Several vessels, with
their entire crews, have been lost, and the
mail packet service with the continent had
been greatly impeded.
The Prince and Princess Frederick Viii
liam of Prussia had arrived in England, on
visit to Queen Victoria.
The Times editorially criticses the Great
Eastern, and throws out great doubt of her
being able to fulfill all that has been prom
Used for her The vessel is pronounced de-
fective in propelling power.
The official correspondence between En-
gland and Spain is published in the London
Gazette. Spain declares that she will not
continue to hold Tangiers or any part of the
Morocco coast that will give her a superb
ority that would be dangerous to the navi-
cation of the Straits, after a treaty of peace
is signed.
The preparations in France for the Chi
nese expedition continue with great activi-
ty. One authority says that 5000 soldiers
will probably take their departure during
| the last fortnight in December.
1t is understood that the French and En-
| glish Governments in their opinion as TO
the joint expedition TO China are now in
complete accord, and til at the general
military basis of their Cooperation has been
agreed upon. ---..-,-..--.---..-.-.
