LONDON.
| London, Dec. 26.--Special to the n. Y
Herald says there is intense excitement in this
city consequent on report that the Prussians
have committed an act of belligerency, that in
former days of English pluck would have
been sufficient to provoke war Six English
| trading vessels have been sunk in the Seine
| by Prussians for the avowed purpose of OBJ
structing the river.
The Times has published an extra, most
| unusual course, and cndeavors to calm pub
lie sentiment by expressed hope that the re-
port is exaggerated, and expresses a strong
conviction that the Prussians would not com
| nit so suicidal an act. People will not listen
to this, and point to the dispatch with indig
nation, which further states the British con-
| sui at Rouem has presented to the Prussan
| commander an indignant and formal protest
against this act of spoliation committed upon
British subjects. This is regarded here as
a confirmation of the truth OF the dispatches,
and the Standard and other conservative pa
pers have bitter war tone articles calling up
on the government either TO resign or declare
itself insulted, and take the necdful means
for correction of this outrage upon the British
flag.
The financial and commercial operation on
this market and at Liverpool promises to be
on limited scale this week because of the
holiday season which continues until after
new years day.
The news from France is down to Christ

Germany has expressed her willingness to
make a cession OF the provinces of Nice and
SaXony to the Papal. The promise is con-
ditional however on the understanding that
the influence of the Holy Father and See
shall be exerted in the interest OF peace.

The National Asylum veteran soldiers de-
batting club discussed the following question
last Friday evening: 'Ought Capital punish
ment to be abolished" The affirmative main
tanned that Imprisonment for life should be
substituted for capital punishment, lest the
innocent be executed for the guilty because
severity of punishment increases crime, and
because human life is a sacred thing, with
which no man or body of men has any right
to tamper. The negative contendcd that self
preservation is natural instinct Conse-
quently when ones life is maliciously assail-
ed, he has right to defend it, even to the
taking the life of his assailant. And likewise
that society has the right in self defense, to
take the life of any its members when it is
