" ATTACKS ON ENGLAND"
CHICAGO, December %.


To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune
plain business man and an Englishman would ask you
if the large proportion of your readers of his nationality
are to expect nothing but attacks the land of their BIRTH
You will find nearly every Engshman entertans the most
devoted affection for the government and institutions of
England England which has for centuries stood forth the
only champion of liberty in Europe necessary to create
this public sentiment against her?
It is already causing British capitalists to withdraw their
means from country so hostile
Respectfully, J. SMITH
REpLY-We are not of any attacks the land"
of Mr. Smiths birth" do we believe that every Eng
shman enteans the most devoted affection for the govern
ment and institutions of England" There is party in Eng
land numbering vast majority of the population which
enteans anything but devoted affection for good many of
the constitutions of that country and that party headed
by such John Bright and John Stuart Mill They
don't believe in the institution" of prmogeniture for
ample whereby the land of England Ireland Scotland and
Wales owned by handful of bloated arstocrats while
thirty millions of Brons and ishmen toll and pay rent to
support the aforesaid Lords in wastel luxury and vicious
dleness They don't believe in another peculiar ~nstit
ton which compels wo-thirds of the people of England
and of the people of Ireland to pay one
tenth OF their earnings support State Church to which
they do not belong and to whose dgmas they DO not SUD-

A NEW ENTERPRIsE.-Mention was made
a few days since in the daily papers of an
unusually large block of granite, weighing
about $500 tons, having been recently
quarried at Richmond, Va. We have since
learned that the quarry from which 1t was
obtained, situated three miles above Rich
mond, on the James River canal, was pur-
chased last summer by number of Phila-
delphians, among whom are Messrs, John
Hulme, Edwin Greble, George W. Harris,
D. C. Levy, L. P. Ashmead, DR.. Morwitz,
and General Crosman, and they have been
working it very thoroughly since that time,
and are resolved to make it paying enter
prise. Large quantities Of this granite,
which is said to be cf very superior
quality, have been already sent to this
market; also to New York, Baltimore,
Washington, etc. 1t is well adapted for
making fine monuments, for building pur-
poses, curbing, paving, etc. A large por-
ton of the new Belgian pavement recently
laid on Walnut street above Broad consists
of stone from this quarry, and we under
stand that arrangements are in progress to
pave other streets with the same material.
4 contract has also been made with parties
in New Yoak to furnish stone fer thc neTT
paving on Broadway. The drinking foun-
tain lately erected in Market street aboTe
Broad, and presented to the city by nr. VII
son G. Swami, is constructed of this stone, as
well as o beautiful little monumental c-oes IN
memory of Captain Joseph T. Ash, a gallant
young Philadelrhian, who was killed IN
battle in our recent struggle for the Union,
and which can be seen on the premises OF
Mr.. Greble, Chestnut street above seven
teeuth. The company has purchased a
large and valuable wharf on the Schuyikiil
at The foot of South street, on which exten-
sive improvements have been made with
facilities for discharging and handling stone
of the largest size, room for storing large
quantities, and all other necessary conve-
niences. This is another instance of the
enterprise of our fellow-citizens which we
are glad to record, and which we hope will
nroye eminently successful to those engaged
in it.-Phladelphia Telegraph.

THE FUGITIVE QUEEN OF SPAIN IN PARIS.
Paris, October 80, lS68.--Her ex-Majesty
of Spain has hired a splendid residence
here on the Champs Elysees at the mode
rate rent per annum of seventy thousand
francs. A sum of four hundred thou
sand francs is to be spent in furnishing
the dwelling in question, and therein Isa-
bella will endeavor to bear up under the
sudden reverses which have overtaken her.
She retains the faithful Marfori, and will
doubtless keep near her the Reverend Fa-
ther Clavet and Sister Patrocino. 1t will
be pleasant party. The King Consort is
not to dwell in the same house. Isabella
resides in No. 6S-the King will occupy No.
70. Apropos of Marfori, it would seem
that he has an eye to the main chance, to
Judge from the following: 1t is we'll known
that sometime before the revolutionary
cloud burst over her devoted head the Queen
handed, at various times, large sums to
Marfori, her intendant, giving him direc-
tions to send these safely to Paris, to Ham
burg, to London.
Faithfully did the worthy intendant at
tend to these orders, but in the hurry of
the moment, or perhaps from q want of
SuS SuoJCStf uC Hdl AAC I'LL
lions deposited to his account-remitted
them in his own naHe. 1t was an over
sight, OF course, but now that the crash has
come, and that the funds are thus placed,
you will understand how absolutely neces-
sary it will be for the e1-Queen to keep her
intendant near her. He might, it is true,
refund the millions-have them placed to
the credit of her Majesty-but this would
create an unpleasant confusion in the ac-
counts of the ditferet bankers, and of course
Senor Marfori could not think of giving so
much trouble. 1t were SO much more sim
pie for him to retain his position near the
deposed sovereign. Isuppose the Parisians
will now cease following the Marquis and
Marquise de Caux about in the streets, and
transfer their guaking to the Spanish attrac-
tious. 1t is reported here that the Emperor
Napoleon called upon the ex-Queen Chris
tine, the mother of Isabella, and strongly
urged her to advise her daughter to leave
France altogether, but that he received no
satisfaction, the mother deeming it but natu-
raj that the daughter should act as she
pleased in this nstance.-Correspondence

VIRGINIA HOSPITALITY REWARDED
On Saturday night last Mr.. William C..
Moncure, who lives near Westham Locks,
Henrico county, was called to his door by
the loud halloo" Of a pedestrian, who
begged q supper and q nights lodging. Mr..
Moncure told him that he was welcome to
both, as he never denied Virginia hospl-
tality to gentleman, and he looked like
one." The stranger went in, and after sup
per, in reply to questions, gave his name as
Mason had formerly been in the Fifth
United States cavalry showed his dis
charge: and said that for some weeks he
had been employed in Richmond as job
printer; was now on his way to Lynch
burg, very much straitenel, but hoped
there 10 obtain Il permanent situation.
That night he slept in the parlor chamber,
and IN the morning partook of o hot and
hearty breakfast. Before that meal was
ready, however, he paid a visit to the sta
bles in company with his host, and seemed
to be much pleased with the appearance OF
the stock and their quarters. Finally, he
took his departure, having obtained par
ticular directions about the road to Lynch
burg.
Ii appeHrs, however, ludt He ulb Hot ~
to Lynchburg, but at the store not far off
inquired about the road to Fredericksburg !;
thence went to Carbon Hill coal mines,
there spent the day and returning to Mr..
Moncure's neighborhood at night, took tea
at negro cabin on the plantation. The
next morning Mr.. Moncure's bay mare,
valued at $3.50, was not to be found, and the
staff which the weary pedestrian had car
ricd was lying at the stable door. The in
ference was that Mr.. Mason is the thief.
The police officials, to whom the particu-
lars of the robbery have been communi-
Gated, and the thief described, have no
doubt that Mason is the notorious Burch
who was arrested in Louisa Courthouse on
the same charge some weeks ago, and being
brought to this city, knocked down police
man Snooks and made his escape.
Mr.. Moncure, who has hitherto been very
attentive to strangers, firmly believing that
he might thereby entertain angels un-
awares," now avow5 the belief that the day
for the exercise Of Old Virginia hospitality
is past, and declares that he will present a
revolver at the next man who knocks at his
door for nights lodging.

PESfTENTIARY ITEAs.-Wardwell seems
determined that the spiritual wants of his
parishioners shall not suffer. At 4 o'clock
on Saturday last he held religious meet
ing, at which Mr.. Jones, of the Society OF
Friends, and superintendent of the freed
mems school in this city, spoke to the con-
victs. Another was held on Sunday morn
ing at 9 o'clock, at which Rev. Robert A,
Arnistead, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, made an address. Father
Willetts, who has interested himself in get
ting library for the convicts, has sent in
another donation Of books consisting of be-
tween 500 and 600 volumes. The superin-
tendent sent him note thanking him ''in
the name of the mothers, fathers, wives,
brothers, and sisters, of the convlcts " to1
this liberal donation.
Levy billiard, one of the con7icts, and
said to be very Industrious and obedlent,
was badly injured on Saturday by having
his arm caught in some betting. The bone
was fractured. DR.. NJ. Burton, physician
to the penitentiary, Yves called in, and rem
dered the necessary attention.
George S. Smith, an active and energetic
officer from the penitentiary, will leave
this morning for Covington and other
places in its vicinity where convict labor
is employed, to look to their welfare and
comfort.

THEIR WHOLESALINGs.

The "best Oolong, ST." is certainly the
best they sell at that price, but that, proba-
bly,, is the only best about it. There is
wholesaling department connected with the
immense Vesey street store, where out Of
town dealers can buy with about the same
advantages and at the same rates as from
their jo6bers. Here tea can be had up to
nearly twelve dollars q pound, notwlth-
standing the dollar best" down stairs.
For instance, in one case customer went
across the street to another jobber's with a
sample of tea offered him at $l.3O. The
latter looked surprised, and owned up that
they couldn't sell that tea at that price
theirs was SLIGO, and he had better 60
back and buy of the company. So he
started to do SO, but found that the latter
had made a mistake, and, like the other
houses, its price was SLIGO after all. So
much as an example of what skiltul and
extensive advertising coupled with a
knowledge Of human nature will do at
money -making.-Ne,c Torh letter-CincIn-

SOMETHING MYsTERIoUs.-On Sunday
morning two gentlemen, Messr5. Carter and
Brown, who were walking in the Jewish
cemetery, we're informed by some little
boys of the discovery of lot OF female
apparel in that vicinity. Proceeding to
the spot indicated by the boys, the gentle
men found petticoat, chemise, pair, OF
stockings, piece of boys jacket, and q
night dress, all more or less bloody, but
in other respects clean. The night-dress and
chemise were bloody all over; the pettlcoat
only about the waist. The stockings were
marked with the letter "I" on the border.
Captain Chalkley, Of the police, having
been informed of the facts, visited the
burying-ground in company with Mr.. Will
liam jenkins. A strict search brought to
light nothing except another lot OF wearing
apparel, not bloody, deposited in vault
The clothing seemed to have been torn from
the body; and it was at first thought that
the resurrectionists had been at work IN
the cemetery, but there was too much blood
on the clothing to justify this supposition
So the mystery is still unsolved.

THE MODUS oPERANDI.

Mr.. Gilman is q very shrewd, quiet,
business man, seeking no display or noto-
riety of whatever sort. He is rather
short, sparse gentleman, walking very
slowly, and having nothing remarkable
about his dress. His name does not appear
in connection with the company, but may
be seen on modest sign over the door OF
handsome six-story, Ohio stone warehouse
on Front street between Wall and Pine.
Here the company's wagons are, however,
10 be seen conveying the chests to the dozen
different stores. Tea brokers drop in, or
he drops in upon them, buying just about
like other jobbers. 1t is understood that
he never imported pound of tea direct
for the company, Notwithstanding the ad-
vertisement some time since, however, ne
bought full cargo of tea imported by the
BOWS, for which he drew the check spoken
of above, and which did duty as a figure
