One year passed. There had been a
triumph of the British arms in India, and
the name of Colonel de Vrsy was asso-
ciated with it, His name was IN every.
body's mouth. He had received promo
ton and other honors, and was returning
to England after the termination of the
campaign as Major General Sir George de
Vray.
As for Milie Moyle, she was betrothed
to the Earl of Beauvray, and when Sir
George arrived in London one of the first
things he read in the paper was that the
marriage between this young lady and his
cousin was to take place in week.
He no longer cared now. He went to
Mr.. Moyle's house on the very day of his
return in the afternoon, and was ushered
into the dining room, where luncheon was
taking place. He was received like a

bury and Carnarvon, Sir Stafford North
cote, and Mr.. Cross. Lord BeaconSfeld,
after having expressed n hope that the
proceedings would be regarded as strictly
private, referred to the sudden change in
the position of the parties but he saw nc
reasons to despair. There were already
signs of encouragement. If the conserva-
tives were true to their principles he look.
ed forward to their return to power at no
distant period. He expressed surprise
that Gladstone, after his repeated express
ion of desire to retire from political con,
troversy, should accept two posts. Lord
Beaconsfeld denied that he ever intended
to resign the premiership, He recon-
mended that the conservatives maintain
an attitude Of decided opposition to Ger
tain extent. Radicalism for the present
was triumphant, but nothing would in.
duce him to believe that its success would
be permanent. He attributed the defeat oI
the conservatives to a desire for change
He considered it impossible for the pres
ent ministry, with its discordant elements,
to last long. Sir Robert Peel, Sir Stafford
Northcote, and Lords Carnarvon and Sails
bury also spoke.

THE PLACES THAT BREED CRIME.

TO the Edftor Of The Tribune.
SIR: thank you for your just and wholesome ar
tice this morning on rne Burkes and the Bar

source of this frightfu rowdyism and crime which
blame There some captains of police whom the
Police Commissioners should at once dismiss from
tine service. and there arc manv patrolmen
who are unfit for their position. But the main
blame for such the one Won describe
rests with the Excise Commissioners. They have
full swing by being allowed TO mako hotel ont Of
any peanut-stand. Any vile hole in tie city can
get license from them. and they responsible to
the citizens of New-York for the present mUltplica-
tion Of groggerles. BY refusing lcens they could
cut Of these dens of niquty, but / should "a soon
EXPECT horse 10 refuse his oats as these COmmis-
siomers 10 refuse license.
Nothing can be accomplished under the present
Excise law Tor the promotion OF order IN the right

Commissioners OF q higher tone, VINO have regard
