CHICAGO.
A New Departure-ImpOrt from
Europe Direct

A New Departure-import from
Europe Direct
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-The Tribune this
morning calls attention to new phase
in the Chicago importing trade, which
has been recently developed. This is the
bringing of goods from Europe via Mon
tresl, and landing them direct at our
whsrves without previous overhauling.
Several of our heavisest merchants have
adopted this chanDel of traffic, which
promises to grow rapidly by reason of its
success. A propeller laden with dry
goods, which left Liverpool on the goth
July, arrived in port yesterday; 60 that by
twenty-five days from the time the goods
left The European port, they will be in
the warehouse of the importer. This
is much quicker time than can be de-
pended upon In importing via New York,
where goods, besides being subjected to
outrageous charges, are usually detained
from ten to twenty days in the Custom
house, in addition to twelve days OF more
on the ocean, and three to seven days on
rail, with high charges for trsnsporta-
ton.
This independent mode of importing
is working well The only fear is, that
the New York interest will become so seri-
ously alarmed at the threatened loss from
this source of leyies, that they will offer
better inducements for time, and f1stter
our merchants into 8 renewal of their
fealty to the old system. What is wanted
now, is a complete concentration of COM
mercial independence, ard no taking it
back.

NEW York, Aug. 21.-Dublin papers

ment TO Canon Pope for a copy of q
treatise of that gentleman on the Vatican
Council, that the regeneration of France
can be effected by no other means than a
regime based on religion, conscience and
morality.
French Protection for the AJsatIans.
The French Ambassador, Marquis De
Gabriac, has received orders from his
government to negotiate with the German
government for the establishment of
numerous French consulates in Alssce and
Lorraine, it being the intention of France
to protect French interests in the annexed
provinces by an extensive consular sys-
tenn.
The proposal is not very favorably re-
ceived in Berlin, it being suspected that
the Office of the consul is to be more to
sgitate than to facilitate business with
France.

Nary New Market Honse

The action yesterday Of the Board of

resolution calling for a SI3, 900 plan OF
new Market House virtually ends, st least
for the present, ali prospect of that much
talked Of Improvement In tbs midst of
their consequent sorrow, our citizens are
not without single so9Tcs OF consolation
if they cannot have q new market place,
or possibly make out much longer with the
old one, they can DO as have done the pc ople
of much larger cities, without any market
house at all If necessary, it might easily
be shown that tho substitution Of vegsts-
bles and meat stores for a regular market
house would be most beneficial and conve-
nient to all parties concerned-to the citi-
zens, to producers and marketers, and a
source of increased revenue to the city and
owners of houses. The continued exist
ence of market house is not, we rejoice
to know, absolutely necessary to the
perpetustion Of human life

Mr. Stokes. the Supervisor, by his liberal

satlsilsd that the next Congress viii 50
