eatables, such as little plates of boiled
''winks,n picked from the shell, boiled
with reckless abundance of salt, and
eaten with vinegar, at a penny per plate I;
the crows and gulls could hardly relish
this food as the being but little lower

heavy bowls, plentifully nicked, and
iron spoons. The eel, ddney-pie and

pie, pitched at you piping hot from a
tin box, with an underdone grease and
gravy-permeated undercrust, with top
crust and bottom crust rank enough to
finish the career of dozen delicate,
fashionable stomachs. Look at the eel
stew counter; childhood, barely able to
lift its bowl TO the top, is there getting
its pennyworth for some drunken
mother; decrepid, feeble-looking men

Shouldn't shake the bloody Shirt.

The unpleasantness between Mr..
Coiiroth. Union Democrat from Penn
sylvania, and Mr. blackburn, an ex-
Confederate Brigadier from Kentucky,
has revived some disagreeable reoollec-
tions regarding traitors and treason
which IL was supposed the brethren OF
tho Bourbon communion had banished
forever. Nh. Coflroth, being stigma
tized by Mr.. Blackburn as a traitor to
his party, retorted that Mr.. Blackburn
was not long ago q traitor 10 his coun-
try, and ought TO have been hanged.
That the Pennsylvanian had the best of
the argument is shown by the fact that
the Kentuekian called him a liar and
threatened to hit him In the nose. This

just at time when II is particularly de-
sirable that the country should forget

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.
From the Spectator

The leading French Republicans
have evidently an idea that though,
pending her opportunity, France
should be cautious or quiescent in
Europe, she should accept every
chance Of extending her frontiers
abroad. The Government is increas-
ing its influence in Tunis till the Ital-
ians are furious, have sanctioned and
provided for the conquest of Anam-
on enterprise Of which we shall hear
more from India-and have just in4
corporated Tahiti. The native king
has been induced or compelled to sell
his rights, and the island has been de-
clared part of the French Republic.
There is no reason to be suspicious of
the act,-though should the Panama
Canal ever be opened, Tahiti would
be valuable,-as France has been the
protector of the little Pacific kingdom
for forty years, and the political diff
ference between recognised "protec-
ton" and ownership is in~appreciable.
Moreover should France and Eng
land V G again be at variance, every
island and maritime station in her pos
session will be an inducement to keep
the peace. If we were Jingoes, we
could only wish that Russia and Ger
many, too, had ships, colonies, and
commerce which Great Britain could
reach.

He may, but such action is hardly
within reasonable calculation, and it
is on reasonable calculation that states
men must frame their plans. If the
eession is made, the Montenegro dan
ger and the Greek danger will be
averted, a considerable further section
of Turkey will be emancipated, and
Europe may wait for a moment qui-
city to see whether the Sultan has
learned from those events any lesson.
It will have learned one for itself of
some importance,-that Europe, when
in accord, is, even in themost disorgan-
Used orne Of the world, an effective
and, indeed, irresistible Tribunal.
Diplomatists knew that at Vienna
sixty-fve years ago, and it is well
that their knowledge should be re-
vived.

The steamer Pomaraso, owned by
s, Marval, Esq, Merchant of this
town, whilst on a trial trip yesterday,
was discovered to be on fire when off
the West point Of Water Island. The
fire took such sudden possession of the
ship that bare time was given to those
on board to save their lives by taking
to the boats which were in tow. The
cause Of the fire is a mystery. The
vessel in an incredibly short time was
burned to the waters edge. The
Pom0yoso was a wooden screw steamer
Of 100 tons register, IS horse power;
Of American build, and was formerly
owned by the Dominican Government.
She arrived here on the 18th May last
for the purpose Of undergoing repairs,
but was sold at public Auction on the
9th July this year; she was 80 feet
long, 16l feet breadth Of beam, with
a speed offrom 10 to II knots per hour.
We are sorry that the loss has proved
to be a total one to Mr.. Marval.

The Times correspondent at Shang-
hal forwards a most interesting ac-.
count of Colonel Gordon's opinions
upon Chinese preparations for war.
He recommends that the Chinese
should give up free emigration to
America, hat they should submit
the Kuldja difficulty to arbitration
by General Grant, and that they
should arm themselves for defence
on principles in accordance with
their position and resources. Their
advantage is their numbers and their
general, though low, civilization, and
Colonel Gordon would have them
use them. That is, he advises them
to abandon their effort to form q
grand armed steam fotilla, which
Cinnamon cannot work; and the use
of rif1ed guns, which they do rot
understand; and the purchase OF
frst-rate breech-loaders, which per-
pick the soldiers. Instead, they
should submit the multitudes at Their
command to a simple discipline, aD0

left unsettled, but so far, the Powers
would not see in changes in Turkey
declarations of war. Up to the limits
of that Treaty, therefore. the states
men who drew lit know that, with
reasonable care and an unreasonable
amount of trouble, the accord might
be maintained.
But, say the directors, the weapon
provided-the European Fleets of
no use. If the Sultan is firm, Europe
must give way, or employ some great
Power as it's mandatory to use militia
ny force, and so break up the concert.
Let us look at that a little closer. 1t
is undoubtedly greatly to be regretted
that if the Great Powers intend to re-
constitute themselves as an informal
tribunal for the prevention of war
which is what they are doing now
they cannot induce some small Power
to lend them ten or twelve thousand
men as an executive force. Such q
European Legion would treble their
authority, and if the concert is ever
formulated, will have to be provided;
but feet is not 50 futile an instru-
ment as it is deemed. AS against any
maritime Power, a European Fleet is
a powerful weapon, can blockade any
port, isolate any island, destroy any
marine, and intercept any commerce,
and as against any but a first-class
State, can do these things without
being resisted. For if the Power I'M
der discipline r%esists, it must fire and
if it fires, there is a war. No Gov
eminent could exist which did not
permit it's feet to return the fire of an
enemy. To fire on Europe is to court
destruction, and except under a sense
Of despair, the hazard would not be
encountered. That being the general
state of affairs, let us see how it APP
plies to Turkey. Turkey always
fights by land, and is therefore as
sumed to be beyond reach; but she
is in one sense the most maritime
Power in the world,-that is, a fleet
can do her the greatest harm. Her
capital is a seaport. She is full of
unattended islands, open ports and
maritime provinces, in which the mere
sanction Of Europe, understood from
the appearance of the feet, would
produce universal instruction. Sy-
ria has been quito recently within
hours of independence. A fleet can
cut off all the Greek Islands, Or shut
the Sea Of Marmora, or occupy Saloni-
ca, or by appearing off Smyrna raise
all Syria, not to mention its final
power of dividing Europe from Asia,
and so reducing Constantinople. Tur,
key beyond the action Of a fleet
Why a single British war-ship at
Jeddah would make the Grand She
reef independent, and terminate Tur-
kish rule throughout the Arabian
world. A European Fleet, as against
any maritime Power a powerful wea-
pom, is against Turkey the most dead
ly that can be employed, and the
most difficult to resist. The Sultan
may, of course, stake all, but though
he leans on the fanatical party, he is
himself, like most kings, no fanatic
