THE LOUVRE.

The Louvre was inhabited by sew
eral of the French monarchs, by
Louis XIV. last, but since his time
has been devoted to the various col
Iections Of works of art, and has
been occasionally used for great
ceremonies of state.
The latest news states that the
Museum of the Louvre was saved.
This contained nearly ali the art
treasures. After the campaign of
Italy the art treasures brought back
to Paris required suitable galleries.
1t was determined to prepare the
Louvre for them. The great stair
case Of the Museum, the Museums
of Ancient Art, the staircase on the
two extreme ends of the colonnade,
the Egyptian Museum, the cham
bers for the Council of State, and
other portions of the Louvre, were
built. NJ. Thiers, when Prime Min
lister of Louis Philippe, proposed to
spend 100000 francs on the COM
pletion of the palace, but the sugges-
ton was not accepted. After the rev.
olution of 1848, 100000 francs
were appropriated to the restoration
of the Apollo Gallery and the gen
eral repair of the building. The
decoration of the interior was in
trusted to Delacroix. The new Lou
vre, begun in accordance with the
plan Of the Provisional Government
in 1852, was completed in 1857, at
a cost of S6,OO0,OOO.

The Geneva Conference.


NEW YORK, Dec. 26-The Worlds London
correspondent gives the English case submitted
visions. The first is a statement of what the
British government conceves is referred to the
arbitrator. The second Is a narrative of the
chief events of the American civil war pertinent
TO the issues under arbitration and the course
pursued by Great Britain. The third is an ex-
position of certain general propositions of inter
national law governing the conduct of neutrals
the power possessed by the British executive al
the time to enforce those propositions or rules
and the means employed at the request of the
United States. The fourth is a statement of gem
eral considerations 10 be kept In view, while ex-
amlning what was actually asked by the United
States and done by the British government re-
speeding the four chief cruisers. The fifth gives
leading facts about the Florida. The sixth deals
with the Alabama; the seventh with the Geor-
gla; the eighth with the Shenandoah; the ninth
recapitulates, and the tenth is a summary of in
ternatiOnal practice in neutrality. In respect 10
beulgerent recognition little or nothing is said
except to compare the dates of its issue with tn
dates of certain acts by the United States and
confederate governments touching the four
chief cruisers. The British case denies that
two of them were specially adapted i'm whole or
in part within British waters to warlike use and
therefore, are not within the rules, or that the
British government or Mr.. Adams had reasona-
BILE ground to believe they were intended 70
cruise or to commit hostilties. No warning in
respect TO them was ever given. Both were
formerly merchant vessels and left the British
waters as such. As to the two others they were
suitable for warke use, but IN respect to neither
can the British government be Justly charged
with that negligence from which flows the dlty
OF pecuniary recOmpense. In the case of the
Alabama evidence disclosing her real char
acter was furnished by Mr.. Adams
in drblets, and orders were finally given for her
detention. Within four or five days after the
last piece OF testimony was submitted, and be-
fore the orders against her could reach Liver
pool, she had fraudulently escaped to sea.
The British case throughout is amcable and
calm, manifesting a desire to submit in good
faith everything to the decision of the tribunal.
but firmly protesting that Great Britain ought
not TO be found guilty of international negli-
gence or any unneural acts done to either
belligerent.

BCRYING VICTIM OF SMALLPoN-A few

A TEST LIFE INSURANCE CAsE-It is stated
that the suit of Hamilton against the Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New York, decided
in the United States Circuit Court OF that CITY
on the 22d instant, as reported by telegraph, sis
understood 10 be a test case for many others,
involving the same points, and the presumption
is that the decision will be accepted by all the
companies interested as final" The suit, il will
be remembered, was brought to recover $1,000
on life Insurance policy issued TO Mr.. Goodman
on March "a, 1865. The defense claimed the
policy ceased to exist, on accountof the non-pay-
ment OF the annual premium, on March ?, 1S62.
The plaintiffs, however, concluded that the de-
PENDANTS, by Withdrawing all of their agencies
from Alabama, where Goodman resided in
March j, 1861, prevented the payment by him of
his annual premiums, and the effect of the war
being TO make such payments i'm New York by
Goodman unlawful. This view is now sustained
