The notorious DR.. Lambert, convicted of
perjury last week, when called up for sem
tence yesterday managed to create q scene
which is quite unusual on such occasions.
We doubt if there ever existed q man who
was quite his equal in impudence. He
always had the combined impudence of q
charlatan and O tremendous bore, but he
yesterday added to this the triple brass of
O case-hardened criminal. He stood up
and made jaunty speech of two hours at
Judge Brady, in which he tried to procure
mild sentence by the hopeful method of
brazenly denying his guilt and abusing the
jury, the witnesses, the Judge himself, and
especially the press of the city, which had
commented on his case with deserved Sc
verify. If he had had the honesty to confess
that he is great rascal and the grace to
show signs of contrition Judge Brady
could not even then have failed to award
the proper penalty in SO fragrant case
But to attempt to browbeat judge into
mitigating his sentence was equally brazen
and idiotic.
When this felon had concluded his inn
pudent speech Judge Brady prefaced his
sentence with some very plain and whole
some remarks. If the man had possessed
any remnant of a conscience he would have
wilted under Judge Brady's characterization
of his infany. The Judge told him that he
had invited this severity of comment by his
harangue, the points of which the Judge
took up and demolished. TO Lambert's
TRADE against the press Judge Brady replied
that the press of the city had simply
done its duty in holding up this swindler
as warming. Said the Judge:-"You have
also denounced and stigmatized the press.
The press was justly interested in your con-
viction. The very instant you were con-
victed the whole community had right to
know that you received the penalty Of your
crime, and the press, as embodying the col
lsctive voice of the country, was quite justi-
fed in commenting with great severity
upon the evidence on which you have been
proven guilty, and l. do not mean to ex-
press any other than decided appreciation
of the views the press has taken on this sub
ject."
To-day this swindler and perjurer will
leave his temporary lodgings in the Tombs

The European Outlook.

The disturbances in Crete reported by
the special cable despatch from the
HERALp's London Bureau, and the rumor
that England is likely to occupy the island
with view TO prevent any outrages on the
Christians, as we'll rs to put down all
attempts of the Greeks to promote an in
surrection, would not ordinarily be regarded
as events of grave Importance. But in the
present condition of Europe the natural in
reference of that Power to protect her own
subjects, especially when an outrage has
been committed on her Consul occasions

to 'serious complications, rs it would
be really an advance of the English forces
step nearer to the theatre of war;" II is pos
sible that England, if really bent on par
ticipation in the war, might find it conven-
lent, under the plea of protecting the Chris
tians in Crete, to place garrison there and
collect supplies for future operations; but
be ended by the presence of the British
iror-clad in the port at which the trouble
is said to have occurred.
Still, there is no very promising indica-
ton of peace in the general news published
to-day, The Russians are steadily pur-
suing their operations in the Balkans and
have evidently an important movement in
view. The English ''peace. at-any price"
party evidently view the situation as threat
ening, since the London Times makes an ur-
gent appeal for positive declaration by the
liberal leaders, declaring that the time for
silence has passed and the hour Tor decided
speech has come. The Colonial Secretary.
Lord Carnarvon, having been waited upon
by deputation Of South African merchants,
who urged protection for the colonists at the
Cape, representing that in the event of
European complications they might be left
to their own resources took occasion to de-
clare that, despite the fall of Plevna, there
was nothing to alarm England or to change
the hopeful views expressed heretofore by the
government. England, he said, was not
prepared to "bolster up Turkish interests"
but was nevertheless resolved to have a
voice in the settlement of the questions be-
tween Russia and Turkey at the proper
time. He denied that England had
offered to mediate, but had merely conveyed
overtures of peace from one belligerent
to the other. The Secretary announced
that he wholly dissented from the view that
Russias answer to these overtures was an
affront to England, and he had SO lively an

area of highest barometer has diminished in the
West and its northern margin has reccdcd south
ward very considerably, thus connecting the
low pressures of Dakota and New Eng
land by zone of relatively low ba-
rornctcr, which curves northward of the
lakes In the Southwest the pressure
is also falling but not rapidly. East of the Mis-
sissipp to the Allegheny range and northward Of
Tennessee, over Canada and New England, the
winds are nortllerly and cold. In tho Middle
States they are temporarily southcrly, in the
Southern and Gulf States westerly, and west Of
the Upper Mississippi and the Missouri they arc
southcry. The atmospheric movements are,
however, rapid, and consequently corresponding
wind changes must occur. 1t has been very
cold in the West but the temperature in that
section Is rising. The weather in New York
and its vicinity to-day will be cold and partly
cloudy or fair, with brisk winds and possibly q
light snowfall. Tomorrow 1t promises to be
warmer and partly cloudy.

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.

Brother John Bull seems to be daily grow ing more jealous of Russia's success and the war organs of England demand instant action, wEich literally means declaration of war. England has furnished too much money, and has become too deeply interested 10 stand idly by and see the Russian Bear ,ieyonr Turkey and finally skin the Bull.
 The possession of the Dardanelles ard s,allipoli seems to be the design of Russia, and to that little scheme England objects.
 As around these two points in the solution of the Eastern question. the interest of the civilized world concentrates, brief descrip- ton of item will not be inappropriate. DardeneIles. the ancient Heilespont, is the channel which separates Europe from Asia, and unites the sea of Marmora with the Grecian Archipelago. Its direction is north east to southwest; its length about 40 miles, and is width varies from less than one mile ,a f,ur s strong current runs through it from inc sea of Narmora to the Archipelago, and to prevent the advance ot hostile neets from the latter quarter upon constantinopie, the channel is strongly fortified on both sides. at the southern opening there are two castles, one on the European and the other on the Asiatic shore, eighteen miles north fdst DI tlfcc dft tNo oioics tAen'6 s-S ancient sites of sestes and Abydos.
 DardenelIes has always played an im- portant part in military history Of Europe and Asia. yerxes crossed it by bridge of I,oats in 4s0, E. C., to enter Europe, and Alexander did the same in 334, B. O., to enter Asia Lord Byron swan 1t as feat for glory and lived to boast of 1t.
 Gallipoli. the peninsula. the ancient Thra- elan Chersonssus. is portion of the prov ince of RumiIi, in European Turkey. and separates the straits of Dardaneiles 0n the east from the Cuff of Saros on the west. if extends in southwest direction, and is about 5 miles long and from four to thir- teen miles wide. Gallipoii, its most impor- tant town and seaport, is situated at the northeastern extremity of the pardanelles, SO miles south of Adrianople and about l3O miles west-southwest of Constantin0ple. Gallipoli is the oldest Turkish possession in Europe. having been taken by them in 1857. Prom thence, at their leisure and as circum- stance permitted. they sdyapced first to the capture of Adrianople and afterwards to ccnstautinople, which they have continued to hold 800 years and upwards and now un- less England takes immediate action to re- lieve them. which our telegrsms of yesterr day infimated it would, their possession of that ancient city will pass certainly into the hands of the invading forces.

in number, and twelve priests were appoint
 ed to take charge of them Twelve srdaous
 laborers were assigned to Hercules by the
 gods. The statue of Janus tGod of the
 year. was surrounded by twelve altars. The
 Brazen Sea, in the Jewish tabernacle,
 rested on twelve oxen, and it is striking coincidence that, from twelve Patriarchs descend the1 twelve tribes of Israel,
 whose worship was replaced by that of the twelve Apostles. According to the Greek poet Pindar and others, the twelve princi- pal Deities, including host of minor di- vinities, with sun, moon knd sacrifice wor- ship, were introduced into Rome, and all pious people of those countries would be found prostrate in worship before their di- vinities at sunrise. In this we find a com plete transfer of the mythology of Mexico. The unwieldy names of the Mexican gods were all dropped for names better suited to the Oriental tongue, except the Supreme .Teotl,n which WAS retained in the Greek ''Theos- and the ancient Hindoo sDeoda.r By these three notifications of this name was respectively worshipped the universal omnipotent Deity, who could rot be rep resented by any image, and being eternal, he was prior to and above all other divini- ties.
 The people of India, Egypt, Greece, and Rome all built their Temples on high places facing the East, and placed the Idols therein so that the Idol faced the rising sun. The Temple of Jerusalem faced the East, and it is still customary in Europe to select a burying ground sloping to the East, and to place the body of the dead face upward, with the head to the West so as to view the rising sun. The ancient Fe- ruvians rose before the sun, in order to wor- ship at his rising.
 The zodiacal calandar of Egypt was an abreviation or improvement upon that of ancient Mexico. The latter shows that the year was at first divided into thirteen parts or moons, and subsequently into twenty parts by adding seven new divisions to the thirteen old ones. In Mexico and Peru maidens were dedicated to the gods; in Europe to the goddess Freq; in Rome, to the goddess Vesta; in PhenetIa, to the moon, (Astarte) Queen of Heaven: and in the Catholic church nuns are dedicated to Jehovah. A large portion of the myths of Oriental superstition ind their basis in the unwritten legendry of the native American tribes.
