APPOINTMENT OF THE SAN DOMINGO
CoNMIssIoNERs.-Th Washington cores.
pondent of the New York Tribune says:
The San Domingo resolutions, having
passed the Senate at Al o'clock, are now
operative. The President was informed
of the fact at once. He has already chosen
the commissioners, and it is understood
that they have signifed their intention to
accept in case the resolutions passed. They
are Benjamin F. Wade, Bishop Simpson,
and ex-Congressman William E. Dodge,
of New York. Mr. Wade and Mr.. Dodge
are already in the city, and Bishop Simp-
son is expected tomorrow. Full instruc-
tons will at once be prepared, and they
will sail as soon as possible, probably on
Monday next. 1t is understood they will
be absent thirty or forty days. The secre-
tary of the commission has not yet been
decided on, so far as known; but it new
seems doubtful that Caleb Cushing will
accompany the commission.

London, Jan. l4.-A dispatch has been
received here, from correspondent with
the Army. of the Loire, giving the details
of the first days battle. The Army of
the Loire has been completely defeated.
within seven miles of Lemans. Cannonad-
ing has been heard all day, and the effect
on the population is marvellous. People
crowded to the tops of the houses, and
the thoroughfare', displaying the intensest
interest.
At nine o'clock, the French right wing
on the East of Lemans was suddenly
attacked by the vanguard of the Prussians.
who emerged from the woods on the ex-
treme right. An alarm being given,
portion of the French infantry Immediately
wheeled into line of battle, and artillery
pushed forward. The enemy took up
very advantageous position on the right of
the left French wing. The consequence
was, that the French line, but imperfectly
formed for action, the battle began in
earnest. The French line presented The
appearance Of n semi-circle, which extend
ed over IL miles of country.
Snow lay on the field presenting
strange contrast to where yet untrodden 10
more bloody work raging in the centre.
Shortly after the engagement COM
menced, the Prussians opened terrible
artillery fire from the woods where their
artillery had been posted, and under the ;.
shelter of which was hanked and con-
cealed, an immense cavalry force.
The intention was TO turn aud break
Chanzy's right wing by strength Of can
nonade.
By P. M. upwards of $1,000 French
troops had fallen. Shortly afterwards the
whole French line was in retreat. Chanzy
is now reported sick.

Interesting Church Oeremony.-A re-
quirement of the law of Moses is, that on the
arrival of any Hebrew child at the age of
thirteen years, he is TO be confirmed By the
Rabbi and received amongst his people as one
OF them, with capacities to distinguish the
right from the wrong and fully accountable
for his own acts of omission or Commission
This Is done by the parents of the lad present
ing him before the congregation, in the Syna-
gogue, to the Rabbi, who receives him with
prayer addressed to the Most High God in his
behalf. He then addresses the candidate as 10
the nature and extent of his duties in his new
relation, and the latter replies in an address.
The peculiarly quaint and solemn music of
the Hebrews is heard the while, and the whole
ceremony concludes with a blessing on the
candidate, and benedction by the priest,
when social reunion takes place. This beau,
tiful ceremony took place at noon to-day in
the Eleventh street Synagogue, the officiating
Rabbi being Rev. DR.. Bethlehem, and the
candidate confirmed Philip, son of Henry
Stern, Esq, of this city. Last week SINH
lar ceremony took place on the occasion of the
confirmation of Henry Myers, son of Israel
Myers, of First and Broad street.

GENERAL GRANT AND THE FENfANs.-
The letters of Secretary Fish and Mr..
Motley fulfil one useful service quite out
side of their main purpose. They must
effectually silence those noisy orators who
are reproaching the Administration with
Indifference to the fate of American citi-
zens imprisoned for violating the laws of
England. The contrary proves to be the
case. 1t has never been claimed that the
lately released Fenians were unjustly con-
victed. Their case certainly called for no
special intercession by the United States
government. Nevertheless such interces-
sion has been persistently made, and their
pardon is the result of that intercession.-
Secretary Fish expressly says that the
removal of Mr.. Motley was delayed for
this, among other reasons, that he might
conclude his negotiations for the release of
the unfortunate prisoners--and he compli-
ments the minister on the complete success
of those negotiations. 1t is hardly worth
while to call attention to this refutation Of
asilly SANDER.

DEATH OF AN OLD LADY.-Mrs. Betsy

vived her husband more than thirty years,

mother of the present representative Of

was an exemplary Christian and beloved

The Heather.--For the past few days
this ever fruitful, conversational subject has
been smiling with brightness and beauty
rivaling in softness the mornings of balmy
spring-tme. Overcoats and furs have been
discarded, and both ladies and gentlemen
appear upon the streets without extra wrap
pings. II the weather continues as fine for few
more days we will have the grass and flowers
peeping up from the mould, and song birds
filling the air with melody. On the suburbs
of the city, that prince of gardeners (MortoD, J
displays the greatest profusion of buds and
blossoms and rare plants of exquisite beauty
and richest perfume. Japonicas, heliotropes,
violets, and crowds of others, whose names we
can never hope to learn, all have their abode
with Morton, who weaves bouquet like a
genuine artist.

"Gone Were the Woodbine T,uinetA." -
John Hill, celored, was arrested some weeks
since by the police and sent on for trial before
the Hastings court, on the charge of being one
of the parties who had stolen from off the
steamer John Sylvester trunk containing
contents valued at $500, owned by M. b.
Howell, of Knoxville. Tennessee. John would
have been subjected to the ordeal of trial in
few days, but this morning, at the city Jail,
he acted Jack Sheppard so successfully that
he pushed by the Jail guardians, got into the
front yard, and, by the aid of an old table,
soon scaled the outer wall and made himself
scarce. A Bueskin, who attempted the feat
with him, was seized by watchman Franklin
and ingloriously thrust back into the Jail yard.
John Hill deserves credit for bis daring and
ingenious escape.
