CRIME IN LIvERPOOL-Majo Greig,
head constable Of Liverpool, in his an
uai report, just made, says the increase
of Juvenile offenders is this year very
marked, and drunkenness has greatly
increased, while education is much
less. The whole number of indictable
otfrnses, however, is less than last
year, being 1867 against 4 4,762 in 1867.
OF q cases of murder, % were for the
murder of infants. To check the in
crease Of infanticide, a reward of 500
was offered for the arrest and convic-
ton of any person guilty of this crime,
but without avail. The record of
drunkenness is the highest eve~ made,
being an increase over the preceding
year of 2,519 cases. The constable saws
he is unable to account for this increase.
The two blackest hours in the week for
producing drunkenness are from ten to
twelve on Saturday night. The en-
tire number OF persons who were drunk
when apprehended was 1910, or 2,847
more than last year. The cases for
drunkenness alone were 14,451. A
comparative statement for the last
eight years of persons dealt with by
the justices shows that education has
been growing less of the e, ,702 persons
apprehended during the year, only 222
could read and write well; there were
lU,004 who could neither read nor
write.

Exciting Rumors from France.

Gold advanced to 1865 at New York
on Saturday, attributed in the gold
room to alleged private dispatches
from Europe which represent the con-
dition Of affairs in France as being
very alarming. 1t is stated that two
such dispatches report serious trouble
in Paris between the people and the
government, and it was even rumored
that Napoleon is dead. This latter re-
port, however, is likely to ha We arisen
from the alleged failure of the Emper-
or's strength, bodily and mental, with
in the last two weeks. All Of the stor-
les, however, it is since learned, are
groundless, as is evin nced by cable dis
patches from London. The sensation
has probably served its purpose in ere
ating a panic in commercial circles in
London and a shiver in New York.

The New York herald., 1868-02-25


In the HERALD Of yesterday We published
despatch to the effect that the Independence
Beige. = paper generally reliable in its views
OF European affairs, is not at all satisfied that
the new army arrangements in France are
designed merely for purposes Of national
defence. In the HERALD Of to-day we publish
special cable despatch which informs Us that
the Russian commander In Greek waters has
demanded expl nations from the Grand Vizier
as to the report now prevailing in Turkey, and
printed in the Levant Herald, that he was
using the Russian feet for the purpose OF aid
ing the insurgents in Gambia, and that the reply
has been that no such complaint has been
made by the Turkish oficials In other words,
that the papers alone are to blame for such
report. At the same ime we have 1t reported
that the le ter Of the Com de Paris, the head
of the house OF Orleans and heir presumptive
Of oil the pretensons of the Bourbons, older
and younger, in which the relations OF France
to reconstructed Germany are canvassed in a
general and truly liberal spirit, is creating
quite sensation throughout Europe, but par
tlculariy in France and Germany.
l. is not to be denied that Europe is in q
quiater mood at the present moment than she
has revealed for the last two or three years.
So calm and reassuring, indeed, has been all
our recent intelligence that we have had no
hesitation in coming to the conclusion that
war was not to be dreamed OF in the immc-
date future. We do not say that our convic-
lions are changed; bat when we are told thai
one Bourbon is agitatng in Rom, for tho re-
vival of the kingdom of the Two Settles,
that another Bourbon is feeling the pulse OF
France and endeavoriny in o skilful way to
set himself and France right before Europe
and the world, and that Russia and Turkey
are mutually explaining their conduct, we may
not rashly conclude that dangerous complica-
tions, European in the range of their flu
ence, are impossible. We only state facts
when we say that trouble exists in both sec
tions of the Iberian peninsula, that conspiracy
is busy in Rome, and that France, with hel
new army plans, with her new loan, with heI
new Press law, and with liberal an intelli.
gent pretender discussing the situation, is in
rather ucklish condition, and that the EASTERN
question is not yet settled. Combustible ma
terial exists in sufficient abundance. The
application of the match either in the Eas
or In the West or in the South Of Earope
would be certain to beget general conf .gra
ton. We cannot, however, say that war is an
early probability; bat we can as little say
looking at all the difficulties OF the situation
that Europe has settled down into condition
of permanent repose. Th, socia. questions
the dynastic ques ions, the international ques
tions, are at once too numerous and too seriou;
to warrant this latter conclusion.
