HIGH PRICES OF BREAD AND
MEAT IN Europe.

The citizens of Edinburg and Paris have
become simultaneously alarmed at the
prices of bread and meat, and are indignant
q. at the supposed inordinate profits of bakers
and butchers. According to the Paris pa
peTs,. ''the public cry is loud and men
ancing," which must be an anxious mo-
ment for those tradesmen who have read
how their predecessors were handled in
Ihe French Revolution. The butchers,
especially, are denounced for their rapacity,
since the price of oxen has fallen consider
ably Of late, while scarcely any abatement
has been made in the price Of meat. In
Scotland the same complaint is raised in
the columns Of TIE Edinburg press. Bakers
and butchers are charged with unjustifable
eXtortiOn, and protection demanded. In
view Of the excessive price of meat, the
importation of Australian beef is earnestly
advocated

Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. III. A. Seq
hoes, Esq. attorney-at-law in this city,
states that in company with his wife, four
children and two servants, he embarked on
the Empire at Pointe la Hache. During
the down trip the boat seemed 20 be very
deep in the water, but notwithstanding
this, the passengers and crew entertained
no fears for their safety. Coming up the
river, ON the Algiers side, when opposite
New Orleans, the boat headed for her
wharf, and in crossing, the gunwales of the
boat were entirely submerged, the water
fairly flooding the deck. When az the
wharf he had no intention of coming ashore,
his wife having already put the children in
bed, but being importuned by a persistent
hickman, be finally concluded to 90 TO his
residence, and thus was saved. Capt. jean
freau and the mate can assign no cause for
the sinking Of the boat, having no greater
cargo on board than which occasionally
happens.

THE Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Commercial SAYS that
Gen George Nancy, of this city, has
been at the capital several days, and
has had frequent consultations with the
President, adding: "Rumor has it that
Nancy is to be offered either a Cabinet
position or the post at st. Petersburg.
Gen. Nancy was a Confederate officer,
is Republican, and is held in the
highest esteem by the President.
We are not sanguine that Gen.
Nancy viii get anything from Grant, but
if he does, it viii have to be laid to the
account of the Democratic victories.
He should have gone over with Long
street or Mosby, before the tide turned.
Possibly a place may be made for him,
with a view TO currying favor with
Southern Democrats, but Grant can
hardly afford to commit such blunder
just at this stage of the game.

THE nearness of the civilized world to
the use Of uniform weights and measures
is shown by the fact that France, Holland,
Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzer-
land. the whole German Empire and
Austria all use the metric system. Only
two great countries stand in the way Of its

and the United States. In both Of these
its use is legal, but not compulsory, and
probably they viii have to move together
