tobacco were thus smuggled out through the
blockade to saw nothing of the munitions
of war supplied to the rebels from England,
of which a slight idea may be formed by
the single statement that Magruder's force
in Texas were entirely armed and supplied
from Europe, principally from London,
directly by the aid and personal assistance
of Mr.. Crawford. And this is neutrality.
The Cholera Abroad.
The cholera is still at work at Damascus,
Horn and Aleppo. The mortality at Sa-
maria estimated at 1900 and at Jaffa l 1000.
The malady is still lingering in Becut, but
has lost its epidemic form.
10ur consul at Paris says there is no longer
any doubt that the cholera has commenced
its ravages in that city.
Reports from Florence, to the State De-
partment, represent that the cholera has
greatly diminished in the southern and
eastern portions of the italian Kingdom.
It on the decline in Jerusalem, and is also
abating at Barcelona.

rsf WIrz Diary.
WAsHISGToN, November I2.-Capt. Wirz,
in his incomplete diary under date of Oeto-
Der LIST, says that a man was at that time
placed in his cell to prevent any attempt he
might make to take his own life, but the
man fell asleep. He writes that the reason
why he did not put an end to his existence
was because what he supposed was the will
of God, a in the second place he owed 1t
to himself, his family, his relations, and to
the world at large. to prove his innocence.

choking him for the instant. Gen. Baker
commanded him TO open his mouth, and as
be did so he spit out s little ball which he
had partly crushed and which Gen. Baker
picked up. II was somewhat smaller than
an acorn and was aseertained to be strychnins
and coated with iquories. In getting up
Mrs. Wirz had probably and wittiiy
conveyed it TO her mouth, and in a moment
more Wirz would have swallowed it, and as
soon as the outside coating had dissolved IN
his stomach it would have caused his imme-
diate death. Mrs. Wirz was not again al
lowed to visit his cell. She left the city
nearly two weeks ago, not waiting either TO
hear her husbands sentence or TO see him
again before his death. On his trial here
her cold and Indifferent manner was noticed
and esnmented upon. It is not known
whether Wirz had by any means cOmmu-
nicated his desire to commit suicide to his
wife, or whether it was not partly at the
instigation of outside parties that she wished
to aid him in doing SO, it 10 known that
Wirz had for long time no hope Of escap-
ing the sentence of death. 1t is also be-
lieved there were friends of Davis, Lee, and
Winder who feared something might be
ELECTED on trial that would commit them by
legal implication with and mets them re-
sponsible for the Andersonville crimes, and
who desired that Wirz might be out of the
way as quick as possible.

French Affairs.


New YORK, November 1.-THE inforna-
ton in regard to the action of the French
Government relative to the complaints al
ledged to be lodged in the Custom House
was obtained from a reliable reporter, who
received it from the owner Of the steamer
which was searched by two persons, who
represented themselves as revenue officers
sent from the Custom House TO search there.
The owner went around the vessel with
them and showed them the eases of arms,
but they did not demand they should be
opened. These officers stated that the gov
ernment of France had lodged complaints
against five vessels and one hundred and
twenty persons, specifying them by name.
just as these people stated their informa-
ton, Just so it was given to the agent of the
Associated Press.
Mr.. Wakeman, Surveyor, denies that he
sent any officers from the Custom House to
search any vessel for arms on complaint Of
the agents Of the government Of France.
The inference is that these two searching
officers were none other than spies.

The executive officers of the Fenian
Brotherhood have engaged a spacious man

quarters. The President, and different Bu-
reau's will move into it next week. The Ex-

not intended for a government for the future
Irish republic, but only TO aid the Irish pat
riots in the struggle for independence, by
furnishing arms, money, &c, l- l.-

The View York Central.

A New York correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial says:
There is fair prospect of Kilkenny
cat imbroglio again among the stockhold-
ers of the New York Central Railroad, on
the occasion of the annual election, which
takes place on the 18th of DeeembG. As
no stock can be voted on which has not
been held, by the party voting, at least
thirty days previous to the election, there
is considerable activity in the stock
at the Brokers Board. The bone of con-
tention seems TO be whether Vanderbilt
shall be permitted to oust Dean Richmond
and link the fortunes Of the Hudson Riv-
er and Harlem Roads as a sort of ball and
chain, upon the prosperous progress of
the Central Road Vanderbilt owns the
entire Harlem Road and most of the Hud-
son River Road, besides holding the insig-
niHeant amount Of $4,000 worth Of
shares in the Central The public, GER
tainly, have no reason to wish him success
in his attempt to own the whole State Of
New York.

The Burial Of Lord PaImerstOn.


The London journals of October 2s, give
elaborate accounts of the burial of Lord
PAmerston in Westminster Abbey. There
was a vast concourse of spectators, and
the ceremonies were imposing. The coffin
was covered with crimson velvet, decorated
with gilt stars and a yiscount's corOnet
and bore the simple inscription, "Henry
John Temple, Viscount Palmerston, born
October goth, 1884, died October 18th,

"Where Lord Palmerston lies the ground

Over his head towers the monument of

be of good cheer and hurl defiance at her
foes and on the other side the statue of
