A CHASTITY Revelation

EUROPE.
England.

London, December II. All the Deutschand's
mails containing valuable packages and bonds,
have been dried and will be forwarded by the City
OF Brooklyn. The passengers will leave by the
Mosel, Tuesday.
An editorial IN the Times expresses severe in
dignation at the people of lIarwicb. Their tard-
ness in going to the wrecked steamer, it says, is
disgrace upon the English name.
The British Press ridicules the coroncrs inves-
tigation, and asks for explanations why the liar-
wichers treated the drowning men to pryotechnc
display, and then slept. Why they gave ship
wrecked people rockets, when they asked for
boats.
The Presidents Message.
The message of President Grant has
been chiefly influential in determining the pur-
poses of the government concerning the compli-
cations in Cuba. 1t has outwardly removed the
existing suspicion that trouble was impending. 1t
has also relieved American bonds from pressure
and heaviness that was felt by those who are
engaged in their manipulation 1t may be added,
however, that these securities are still feverishly
held, because of the suggestions of the President
concerning the school question and the opening
of new political issues. On the whole, the mes
sage has been we'll received, and especially that
portion of it which treats of the finances of the
government and the possibility that at not dis
tant day the currency of the country will be re-
duced to basis that will correspond with that Of
other specie paying countries.
