THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS,

From the Washington Correspondence Of the New York Timesl
But to turn from this sad theme. The houses of both
the ministers OF England and France are advertised to
let. The former was once the residence of Mr.. Hamilton
Fish. The latter, which is on the heights of George
town, and commands a beautiful view of the vale of the
Potomac, was long occupied by Mr.. Champion, the late
British minister. Lord Napier expects Lord Lyons in a
few days, and purposes leaving in a fortnight. He will
be accompanied by Mr.. Erskine, the present secretary of
legation, whose place will be taken by Mr.. Irving, from
Vienna. Mr.. Ware, a son of the member for Ripon, and
q nephew by marriage of Charles Kingsley, who was here
some two years since as unpaid aaach6, and has since filled
the same post at Vienna and at st. Petersburgh, has been
appointed paid dadche to this legation in the room of
Capt. Hope. In society here he was extremely popular.
Though it is possible that, owing to the changes which
the removal of Pelissier from London, and the elevation
of the present French minister at Lisbon to the Senate.
will necessarily make in the whole French diplomatic
corps, all the appointments have not been sufficiently
determined on by Count Walewski TO enable Count Sar-
tiges to receive a positive Official notification of his re.
moval, il is not less certain and positively known that
his removal has been determined. 1t is now near ten
months since he applied for leave of absence and a Euro
pean mission, this climate not having agreed with his
constitution, and his accomplished and fascinating wife
having shared his anxiety for q change. He will proba-
bly, be appointed either to a high Germanic mission or to
that made vacant at Lisbon. Count Sartiges entered the
diplomatic service in 1881 as aRachG at Rome, thence was
removed TO Rio Janeiro, where he remained some years;
from thence he was sent az secretary, first to CONSTANT
nople and then to Athens; then appointed minister at
Teheran, and from Persia finally promoted to the lega-
ton in America. Viscomte de Sorre, his probable success
sor, is a fine soldierly gentleman and a bachelor. He
was for some time chef de cabinet in the Ministry of For
eign Affairs at Paris, was thence sent as secretary to vi
emma, and from Vienna promoted to his present post. in
the Grand Duchy of Baden.
Nh. Stocked, the Russian minister, by the last letters,
was about 10 leave st. Petersburgh, where he and Mrs.
Stoeckel had been treated with the most marked kind
ness and consideration by the Emperor, for Paris, where
he proposed passing a month, and thence, after a fort
night in London, returning here at the close of April or

furnish money, as they 30 recently did, in enormous
amounts to defray the expenses Of printing. The
folding was to have been done, free Of cost to them
at the Capitol, while the mails were expected 10
carry their car loads of franked matter, notwith-
standing it might increase the expense of the Post
Office Department some three millions a year. The
plan seemed an admirable one, but there is little
probability that its anticipated advantages will be
realized. Our adversaries sowed criminal purposes,
and are likely TO reap a harvest of bitter disappoint-
ment. The people will widely feel the consequences
Of these rash and reckless political schemes, and
duly appreciate the sinister motives in which they
originated. The sagacious and independent free
men of the Union are sitting in Judgment upon their
acts, and the designs which occasioned them. The
evidence is clear, full, and conclusive against them.
Their verdict must follsV with overwhelming effect,
leaving them to wall and gnash their teeth over the
failure ofa favorite scheme, by which they expected
to crush the national administration and overwhelm
the democracy, Their real motives are now known,
and hence they will not be longer able to deceive
any one. They have overreached themselves, and
ruined their own fortunes, and thus ends the chapter
of meditated wrong.

work has been felt on Ae Atlantic seaboard, and the
island Of Cuba has thus been drawn closer to the in
terests Of this government. II MI, Brown had said
- we want Cuba for the purpose Of extending Ameri-
can industry he would have occupied higher and
more statesmanlike ground. If slavery is reduced
to be the football Of its politicians all that we have
to say is that the tenures by which shareholders
command the service Of the negroes are not such as
we would invoke. In this view he is not the best
friend of the South, nor of the peace and welfare of
the country, who seeks TO occupy the public mind
Of the nation with the spread or protection Of
slavery. Those who have the immediate charge Of
that institution must take care of it. They are Sc
cured in their rights in the fact that foreign parties
have no right to interfere with them. 1t would not
be wise in the commander Of a hostile army in the
field to invite his enemy 10 aid in the discipline
of his soldiers and il has not been always safe even
for a weak State to call for protection of the stronger.
At all events it is safer to trust to the right and be
prepared to defend il. Mr.. Brown should not thrust
slavery 50 much into the foreground Of American
politics-should not make that institution a monop-
olizing part Of the federal government.

MARETZEK'S OPERA COMPANY At HA-
ANA. ......
from the New York Evening Post.

Gazzaniga, previous to her departure from Havana,
took q farewell benefit in that city on the Sd inst. AT
her appearance on the stage, little balloons were sent up
to the ceiling from the parquet, birds let loose, bouquets
%plimentary verses. The opera was Paoini's Salpho. AT
the end of the first act the primo uouna was called out and
showered with flowers after the second she was present
ed with a gold bracelet and q rich crown. During the
fourth act the enthusiasm increased, and, after it ended,
the curtain was again raised, and 10 the scene was
changed, and there was Gazzaniga surrounded by a glare
of Bengal lights, for all the world like MIR. Crummel' S
infant phenomenon, standing on her head surrounded
by a blaze of fireworks. AT this juncture two little girls
from the Keller troupe presented her with a costly album.
and then a dance, composed in her honor, entitled ala
Safo, was performed by the ballet troupe. The pecu-
MARY profit the lady received from this gratifying benefit
amounted to near So, 900.
Maretzck was presented with a gold baton the same
evening while Miss Phillips and Messrs. Gassier and
Stefani, who also took part in the opera, were enthusi-
a~stically applauded.

Loss OF THE NEOSHO MAIL IN DECEAl
Der LAST,
From The Missouri Rspup,lcan, March 10 !

g.. ~ l.. i Nt sau*eha niaicn IL
On Friday last John Hall made affidavit before E. w
Stands, esq. OF the particulars attending the loss of the
Neosho mail last December. Hall states that he left
Neosho, Mo, for Albuquerque, N. NJ, on the 5th No.
vember last, having in charge the mail, consisting Of
about four or FIVE pounds of letters and papers. He
started with the intention of oycrtaking Lieut.. Stein and
Lieut.. iseale, with their escort, who were some eight OF
ten days in advance of him. Whom about twenty .fouS
hours behind Lieut.. Stems party, as lie Judged from their
camp fires, Hall was attacked by a band of Comancbe
Indians, about forty IN pumher. who succeeded in taking
nun prisoner, vol, however, without resistance On his
part Half was severely wounded by arrows in ihe leg
and side, and his mule was shot dead. The mail was de-
stroyed. For four or five weeks Hall was completely
prostrated by his wounds, and was compelled, on his ne
covery, to follow his captors from place to place on the
praifies. About the middle Of February, having recov-
cred from his wounds, he succeeded in making his escape
on one of the horses belonging to the Indians, For four
days and nights he travelled necessarily without nest OF
1000, but succeeded in gaining the settlements, although
so debilitated he could hardly sit upon his horse.
He reached 81. Louis ON Friday, and left for his home,
in Clay county, on the same day. His relatives and
friends desTaifed OF ever seeing him again, and his escape
from captivity and death was almost miraculous.

LEGAL DIFFICULTIES IN HOWA
EFrom tho Chicago Times.l

We have before us a circular signed by some five legal
firms in Keokuk, Iowa, setting forth, for the information
Of their clients and the public, that the collection of debts
by suit in that locality has practically been suspended
since the fall of 1857, and will be until June next, if not
longer. Prior to January, 1858, four terms of the court
were held annually in that county, Wig; in February,
March, September, and October. In January, 1858, the
Legislature abolished the February aud March terms for
the year 1868 it also provided that the first term after
II suitwas brought should be only am appearance term,
thus detcrring all suits until the second term for trial.
In this way all civil suits brought in that county since
October, 1851, had accumulated at the February term,
1859 but the court thinking, we suppose, that u little
more time would not be objectionable to the eighteen
hundred defendants, postponed the civil docket until the
next term, at the same time suggesting the possibility of
a special term in June.
Substantially, therefore, the people of Lee county have
had q stay law for two years but we doubt very much
whether the character of Keokuk has not been injured
ten times the value of the rather dishonest proceeding.

WRECK or THE SHIP ADORvLS AT GONG
BRANCH.


From the Correspondence OF the Monmoeth az. ~ Democrat
She went on shore on the night of the 7th inst, and
me- Green, the station. keeper, was upon the spot with
his crew at 7 O'Clock next morning. They launched tbs
surf-boat. hoarded the ship, and brought The captain
ashore. The captain insisted upon returning to the ship,
but The wind breezing up, it was found impossible TO do
so, as upon the second attempt the surf boat was filed
All haste was then paaeio to shoot a line over the vessel;
the first atsannpt the line did not reach the ship, the sec
oid the line parted, and the third was successful A
large line was then secured 60 the ship, and then a haw-
ser, which was properly made fast to the mainmast head
Inc crew soon understood the working Of the life car
upon the bawsor, and five of them landed the first yoy-
age to the shore. The life-car WINS again despatched upon
its GRAND OF mercy this time, better satisfied, six Of
them got in the car but oh, horrori whom within aboui
thirty yards of the shore, the line attached TO the shore
end OF the car gave way. Then there was an universal
shout OF agony, the men on the beach running TO and
no there was quite a number of ladies present. who, as
they looked upon The scene, turned from IL with a shud-
der.
Thus the car was at one moment upon The top Of o
large wave, and mt another In the trough of the sea.
The daring and impulsiyc boat's crew could not stand
tamely by and see a car load of human beings in this
doubtful condition, but rushed in up TO their arms, seized
the car and brought II ashore. The name Of Joseph
West and As crew should be written in letters Of gold
upon the record Of the Lie Saving Association. Upon
examination, IL was found that the ring bolt ON the end
Of the life ear, 70 which the shore end Sot fhe line was
attached, WIS imperfect, and thus the bTeakage was easl
~ accounted for. The damage was repaired, aud again
the car was despatched, aud The remaining seven were
soon upon the beach.

Ii the shipments should continue to decrease in the
same ratio, the close Of the year would exhibit n falling
of, compared with those Of 1853, of over six millions
seven hundred thousand dollars. The mines are repre-

be attributable TO the fact that more money is required
