Up to Thursday noon there was no intelll-
gence at the German Legation in London to
confirm the reported capitulation Of the city.
Favre left Versailles on Wednesday-some say
to 90 to London, others that he returned to
Paris One of the London papers states that
the bombarlment was again commenced after
Favre had left Versailles. An interview with
Gambetta is reported during which he express
ed the opinion that sooner than surrender Paris
the people would burn it, but even if it was
given up the provinces would still continue the
war. He believes that France can yet place
nearly million of men in the field and fight
on with an ultimate probability of success. The
Empress Eugene makes denial of having
been implicated in any plot with Bismarck. In
Northern France the Germans remain inactive,
except for the bombardment Of Cambria. In
the East Won Werder is maneuvring around
Garibaldi' army at Dion. The German forces
which recently defeated Chanzy did not con-
tinue the pursuit beyond Alencon, and are
gradually falling back towards the line of the
Loire. There is nothing to remove the impress
sion that Paris must fall very soon On Sat
urday night the turbulent classes of the North
eastern quarter of Paris started riot and re-
leased Flourens from Jail, but accomplished
nothing serious

SATURDAY, JANUARY %, 1871.

The Commercial article of the Baltimore
Sun, in commenting upon the circumstance OF
the near approach ofthe fall of Paris, and over
the report of its surrender failing to arouse
much attention in financial circles, says that the
stability of the future government of France,
and the question whether the country is to be
reconstructed on specie or paper basis, are yet
ODE considered and to exercise influence Oh val
ues at the London Stock Exchange, and all
other financial centres of the world. These
events cannot be decided in day, and, there
fore, it may be some considerable time after
the actual close of the war before any great
fluctuations will take place.

the House of Delegates on Thursday Mr.. Me-
Caull of Roanoke, offered the following prcam
BILE and resolution:
"Whereas it is represented that the Presl
dent and directors of the Richmond, Frcde
ricksburg and Potomac Railroad Company have
managed and controlled said company in the
interest of the rival line from Weldon to Ports
mouth, and not in the interest Of their stock
holders and Of the community through which
their road runs, and have thereby sacrificed
the interests of the State and of Il majority Of
the private stockholders to the interest OF few
persons who own stock in both roads: There
fore be it.
Resolved, That the Committee on Roads,
&C., be instructed to procure from p Y. Dan
iel, Jr., President of the Richmond, Frede-
ricksburg and Potomac railroad, and from John
NJ. Robinson, President of the Seaboard and
Roanoke railroad, full and complete list Of
the stockholders in each Of said companies as
they were at the time of their last annual
meetings respectively, with the number of
shares held by and the place of residence Of

HYDRATE OF CHLoRAL.-The hydrate of
chloral, about which so much has been written
during the past year, has now reached the stage
of quack medicine, and, in the hands of de-
signing or ignorant people, is likely to occasion
much mischief. 1t is sold in fluid form, as an
anodyne, mixed with gum or sugar, water ely
cerine, or some tincture, and as the strength
of the preparation is not given and it is liable
to undergo spontaneous decomposition, the pa
tient can never tell how much of dose he is
taking A bottle of choral put up in the usual
style OF popular medicine which WAS sent to
us six months ago for examination, has entirely
decomposed, and it would be dangerous to use
it, as the nature of the products of decomposi-

a note of warning that it is never safe to take
the hydrate of choral unless freshly prepared
and upon prescription of a physician. 1t is a
