London is five times more populous
than New York, four times more popu-
lous than st. Petersburg, twice as popu-
!ous as Constantinople. There are nearly
fWo.thirds more people in it than in
Paris, and one-fourth more populous
than Pekin. It contains as many people
as Scotland, twice as many as Denmark,
and three times the number of Greece.
Every eight minutes, night and day,
one person dies; every five minutes one

The response Of Jules Favre to the
circular of Bismarck, on the conference
at Ferrierres, is couched in tone which
would indicate that the Prussian terms
must be vastly changed before peace
will be accepted at Paris. "France," he
says. "was offered dishonor, and she re-
fused, and they propose to punish her
adds, sour peril and our sufferings to the
qualification of the exorbitant ambition
of our enemies"
A widower of New Haven, who hap
pened to marry second time without
consulting the wishes of grown daueh-
ter, on attempting to introduce his bride
into the family mansion, few nights
since, was set upon with sticks and
stones, and compelled to fly for his life.
An Englishman, who has recently
visited the Emperor Napoleon, saws:
''There was not the slightest appearance
of resentment in the way in which he
spoke of the changes that had taken
place, but terrible foreboding of what
might oome."

POLITICAL.

The Richmond State Journal repudiates
the Convention that nominated Chas. II.
Porter for Congress. This looks as if a
a democrat might be elected in the dis
trict.
The negroes polled very heavy vote in
Kentucky, and cast it solid for the Repub-
lcan candidates. Not a single difficulty
between the whites and blacks occurred at
the polls.
The democrats of the Eighth Congress
sional District of Indiana have nominal
ed for the Honse of Representatives gen
tleman who was dismissed from the SER
vice by General Thomas, because he had
been obtaining money under false pre-
tences," and had twice absconded to
avoid a trial"
Whittemore will be opposed in South
Carolina, at the Convention. by a colored
man, but says he will run whether nomin-
ated or not. In other Districts of the State
political affairs are muddled,

the railway car, finally saluted the crowd,
the scene was indescribable the people
were frenzied with enthusiasm. The en-
tire Court, ladies and all, mingled with the
crowd, and, participating in its emotion,
surrounded the old soldier and bid him
good bye with every demonstration of 10y
atty and devotion. Count Won Bismarck
and Gems. Moltke and Won Room were
present and repeatedly cheered.
A Paris correspondent says 1.-THE talk
about Napoleon commanding armies In
person is mere bunkum, or, as the French
would say, de Ia plague. His Majesty is
strictly ordered by his doctors to abstain
from mounting horse. Only month or
so ago he really fell from his charger from
pain, and the moment he got to the ground
had most alarming fainting fit, which
lasted for more than 20 minutes. How is
a man IN this state of health to sit, like
Wellington at Waterloo, for twelve hours
without ever getting out OF the saddle; or
like Napoleon's own rival in the coming
campaign-William of Prussia-from three
in the morning till five in the afternoon
1t is said that Eugene has had wonder
fully light and strong carriage made for
her husbands use but even if this be true.
how is he to get across bitches or down
sharp slopes in order to reach the points
of the field from which general view of
the fight may be best obtainable No, 1t
is no secret in France, and the first officer
you meet will laugh if you ask whether
the Emperor is good leader. He can
not ride now,' they say, and as for his abil-
tiles as COMMUNICATIVE Chief, hernandez
a IHcliahon' This means that at Magen-
tn, during the Italian campaign of 1859,
Napoleon rode in the wrong direction, and
narrowly escaped falling into the hands of
the Austrians, being only rescued by a
brilliant charge of cavalry, headed by Gen.
Mcmahon, who is now on his way back
from Algeria to take the command of a
corps d armee."
The correspondent Of the Independent
Beige. writing from Metz, asserts that the
first great battle will be fought on Satur-
day or Sunday next, or Monday at the
farthest. He underscorcs the sentence fol-
lowing: This is sure
