The ShipOwners' Association are taking
measures to urge their interests before Con

oppressive port charges, a repeal of the law
prohibiting the purchase OF foreign built
ships, and revision Of customhouse and con-

The shOemakers' strike still continues, all
negotiations between manufacturers and
workmen having proved frutless. The
Manufacturers Trade Union yesterday re-
solved unanimously to adhere to the new
scale of wages and to unite i'll measures
which will enable the trade of the city to
compete successfully with that OF the coun-
try.
The principal manufacturers have two or
three months stock on hand, and are conf
dent that the Crispins can not stand SO long
a siege. Smaller manufacturers are less
favorably situated, and more disposed for a
compromise. Other trade organizations
throughout the city are coming to the sup
port OF the Crispins, ard the strike promises
to be q long one.

The SALAMANDER INSURANCE COMPANY
We invite attention to the card Of tilis
staunch company, which will be found
among our insurance advertisements this
morning. 1t will be noticed that it makes
a speciality Of fire risks III the city and
country, doing no other business. We look
upon this as a progressive step. and hope
to see the enterprise succeed as it should,
for its benefits to the insurer must be
apparent. 4 man who wishes to insure
his house against a confagration does not
care to pay the expenses of risks On either
the high seas or rivers, and. as the com-
pany takes none of these risks, OF course it
can meet his views. The officers OF the
Salamander Company are veteran insur-
ance men, old the board Of trustees com-
prises the names Of some o. our first mer.
chants. We bespeak for them a liberal
share OF business.

The night wing Of the army of the Loire
had a successful engagement with the Prns-
slams yesterday near Montargis.
Prussian projects have invaded many de-
partments, and issued decrees that all be-

There are no signs of the government
leaving Tours.
Especial to the New York World.
Tours, December 5.-The direction the
French army has taken is not known, but
the impression prevails that they have gone
toward Glen. In the fighting of the last
three days the French covered themselves
with glory, but fate was adverse to them..
In an engagement ON the third at Pat0y,.
$4,000 French held their ground against
$4,000 of Frederick Charles men, but they
were cut to pieces by shells. The German
artillery was served with fearful and over
whelnling effect.
The Papal Zouaves fought with super
human bravery, and nearly all of them
were killed.
The government appeals to the people Of
France to still maintain resistance, which
is certain finally to end in triumph.
The army of the Loire is still e00,0
strong. During another month 100000
Frenchmen will be under arms.
General Paladine retreated from Orleans
with force believed to be 20O,000 strong.
He had five hundred cannon. The govern
ment authorities wished him to remain at
Orleans, and receive the Prussian attack,
but the troops gave way to the generals
sequently the general fought to the utmost,
but was powerless to effect anything.
At half-past eleven the Germans de-
manded the evacuation of the city, threat
ening to lombard it in case Of refusal. The
Prussians captured but few prisoners, and
no ammunition.

united armies of Frederick, the third,
ninth and tenth corps, under the Duke of
Mecklenburg, one Bavarian corps, and two

in cavalry.
The combat ended with repulse, on Sum
day. 1t commenced Thursday, and contin-
ued with varying successes during Friday
and Saturday, but Sunday the successes of
the Germans were great, though purchased
at equally great cost.

The Varieties Theatre Company.

The management of the New Opera
House having with characteristic liberality
rendered the use of their establishment for
the purpose, the last performance for
the benefit OF the Varieties Company will
take place tomorrow evening. The pecu-
liar circumstances under which the benefit
takes place, will OF itself, without doubt,
insure q crowded house. For this is the
last occasion, relating. to the Varieties ca
lamity, on which the patrons OF the drama
will be enabled to show their friendly syn
patty with the theatrical company that has
been Oyertaken by misfortune as deep as
sudden.
The bill for this benefit will be Of the
most varied and attractive kind. Comedy,
farce, buriesque and extravaganza will vie
with each other in atfording q dramatic en-
tertaininent Of the richest description.
The generous conduct of the several thea
calmanagers in New Orleans. the st. Char
les, the Academy, the National, and now the
new Opera House, the friendly and prompt
aid rendered by Mr.. Lawrence Barrett,
William Horace Lngard, Alice Dunning
Lingard and others, give cheering proof
that the calls of humanity are never lost
sight of by those whose talents are devoted
to public entertainment and recreation.

One OF the objections urged by ladies
against the work done by sewing
machine, is that it is irregular and not to be
relied upon unless done with great care.
If they will take the trouble to cali at the
agency of the above named machine, corner
of Canal and Dryades streets, they will see
that work done on it cannot possibly be Oh
.iected to for that reason.

WHEN you WE'RE SEVENTEEN.


When the hay was mown, Maggie,
In the years long ago,
And while the western sky was rich
With sunsets rosy glow,
Then hand in. hand close-llnked we passed
The dewy ricks between,
And was one-and twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
Your voice was low and sweet, Maggie;
Your wavy hair was brown,
Your cheek was like the wild red rose,
That showered its petals down;
Your eyes were like the blue speedweii,
With dewy moisture sheen.
When was one.and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
The spring was in our hearts, Maggie,
And all its hopes were ours;
And we were children in the fields,
Among the opening flowers.
Ay! Life waslixe q summer day
Amid the woodland green,
For / was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
The wears have come and gone Maggie,
with sunshine and with shade,
And siivered is the silken hair
THAT DER your shoulders strayed
In many a soft and hayward tress-
The fairest ever seem
when was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
Though gently changing Time. Maggie
Aas touched you in his flight,
yonr voice has still the old sweet tone'
Your eyes the old love-light;
And years can never, never chahse
The heart you gave, ween,
When l was one-and-twenty, Mag
And Won were seventeen.
