New YORK, Sept. ga special
correspondent in Londen telegraphs
the particulars of the preliminary
meeting between Favre and Bis
marck in the Chateau of Ferriers.-
Bismarck received tho French Min
lister with courtesy, and opened the
subject Of peace and negotiations at
once. No result was reached, but in
the course of the discussion Favre
asserted that the provisional govern
ment could put Prussia in possession
of such materials and guarantee
such as would make it certain
that she would lose nothing by the
effort after peace even should the
constitutional assembly reject any
treaty that might be agreed upon.
He also declared that if the comman-
dcrs at Metz and Strasbourg would
obey any orders his government
might issue to them in London, there
were some expectations that peace
would be concluded on the basis of
temporary occupation of Alsace and
Lorraine by tho Prussians and by
the surrender of Metz and Strasbourg.
In commercial circles, however, all
hope of peace is nearly abandoned.
Prussia will insist on terms which no
French government would dare
accede to.

The Two-cESr RECEIPT SrAxPs.-A corre-
spordent OF the New York Journal Of Commerce
asks what is to be done with the surplus two
cent receipt stamps after September 30, when
they are no longer required? The Journal re-
sIonds:
j." There are no such receipt stamps, the or
unsIy No-cent revenue stamp being used in
mmon Tor receipts, checks, and whatever else
might DC covered with the same amount. As
many persons have doubtless bought these
sUhts 70 DC USED solely for receipts, and As they
nay haIs nen checks printed with the stamp
alreaoy ADDED, there may be an Accumulation Of
two cent stamps not needed. IL this shonId he
so, the department may make arranoewents 10
exchange them; but II this be Declined the hold
ers can use the m for any other purpose Te1njr-
ing revenue stamp. Ten OF them with = ~.
cent stamp, would cover a power of attornay
and in various ways they may be utilized untn
the stock Is exhausted. We presume the sta
TONERS who sell the revenue stamps will ex-
change these two cent sheets for other stamps
such as are used on promissory notes. and are
still required, and then make arrangements to
return the IN to the department at Washington,
or TO sell them for the use of checks, for which
large quantities are wanted.

FIVE CENT FARE AsAIN.-Under the rece nj
act Of Congress taking of the tax on gross re-
ceipts on railroads, the fare on the Washington
and Georgetown railroad will be reduced from
six cents to five cents on and after October LIST,
1850. This Will be good news to our readers,
though the stockholders of the company will
probably see in the change great diminution il
not the temporary humiliation Of their divi-
dends, as it is contended that the line cannot be
run over its long distances with the drawback of
transfer tickets) with profit, or without actual
loss, at a fare of five cents. But, however, IL
may effect their interests, we are assured by the
officers OF the road that the reduction will be
promptly made, and that on and after October
LIST, the fare will be but five cents per passenger
Now here Is an example for the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company to follow. They refuse,
under recent ruling of the Supreme Court, to
pay over to the State of Maryland the capitstion
tax on passengers over the Washington branch,
but they 60 on collecting it Is usual from pas
sengers- That is to say, they still demand the
old rates Of fare, which covered that tau. Will
not President Garrett take hint from the com
mendable course Of President Riker, and an
nounce at once reduction in fare equal to the
amount OF capitation tax?

COMPULSORY EDUCATIoS.-The New York
S'dr Is urging the importance of enforcing the
attendance OF children, not otherwise provided
for, at the public schools, as the only certain
means OF reducing the criminal list in that city,
and suggests the adoption of what may be
termed half time schools, by which a child may
attend school half day, and work at some
practical trade the other ha'f. Idleness and
ignorance are prolific sources Of crime. They
lead directly to drinking, and rum is the father
OF innumerable vices. Let the children be pro-
perry taught and trained, and our criminal re-
glster will grow small. Let them run wild, and
IN brief period we shall not have facilities
enough IN our courts to try, or room in our
prisons to receive them.

The FALL OF STRAsBrRG.-Thef fall of Stras-
burg. depressing as it must be 10 the homes of

features Is stayed. War, ALWAYS depIorablA. ia
uOnbly so when not only lives and fortunes are
destroyed, but the art-treasures Of famous cities

ence.
In Strasburg the destruction has been terrible

scum of Paintings, the most splendid houses in
The finest quarter are now only heaps of black
ened ruins. The frst-named institution was
celebrated throughout Europe. Ii contained
DOORS and manuscripts unique in the world, the
result Of centuries Of labor, patience, and per-
severance. The site Is now encumbered
with ruins, and all that is to be seen is
the earbonized covers OF one or two books in
corner. OF the Church of the Temple
Neuf, the largest Protestant place OF worship
IN srasburg, with its splendid organ and
renowned mural paintings, the four walls alone
remain The Art Museum at Aubette is totally
destroyed, with the building in which it was
contained. The famous Cathedral, though es-
caping total destruction, il terribly damaged.
HE Notre Dame Asylum, one of the Oldest and
most noble monuments Of the middle ages, has
been injured by projectiles. The Hotel de Vile
Is shattered, and also the Council Hall The
whole city IL heaped up with wreck and the
roofs, chimneys, and facades of the houses are
damaged on all sides.
Such has been the work of war at Strasburp,
Let us hope that Paris, with its infinitely more
important works OF art, will not be subjected to
similar bombardment.

WASHINGTON LEADING BosrON-One of the
members Of the City Councils of Boston, visit
ing this city yesterday and to-day, and who has
been for more than twenty years chairman OF
the committee on schools and education, pro-
nounces our Franklin choOl-building very Tar
superior in every respect to any thing of the
Kind in Boston; and he expressed the opinion
furthermore, that it could not have been built
there for sum anywhere near as small as it
eost here. This may justly be considered a very
nigh compliment, not only to our municipal au-
thorities under whose auspices the building was
planned and constructed, but to the Washing
ton builders and mechanics by whom the work
was done.
