The Shortcomings of the Brit- ish Army. The Co-Operative Systems and the Clubs===Woes of West-End Tradesmen. From Our Own Correspondent. Loxvox, Nev. 1, 1872, THE EAN JUAN AWARD. Tt would be idle to represent the British peo- ple as eatisfied with the San Juan award. So sure were they of adifferent iesue that they are ‘but too ready to credit the arbitration with ignorance. In one quarter, the attempt is in- dustrionsly made to fix upon the Emperor of ‘Germany direct hostility towards England. It is brondly stated that England is hated by the Germens, and that the latter would gledly seize everyopportunity that offers to humiliate a coun- try which, to a certain extent, sympathizes with the French Republic. The numerous body of Germans who live in England deny that their countrymen ere the enemies of England; and surely the eimple hypothesis that the Emperor thought the American claim wss just and the Britieh claim was unjust, is enough to explain the case. One of the assertionsis, that Professor Kiepert, whowasibe chief adviser of the Imporial arbitrator, published, in 1853, an atlas conferring the Ieland of San Juan, and all its fellows be- tween Vancouver Tsland and tho continent, on the United States. Then there is an atterapt, on the parf of the Tories, to make Mr. Gladstone's Government responsible. The three experts, of whom Professor Kiepert was one, were, it is eaid, enxions to draw the boundary line threugh Douglas' Channel, thus hitting_upon a middle courge between the Haroand Rosario Straits. ** Unhappily,” obserses a Tory print, ‘this power had been withdrawn from ther by the - criminal pusillanimity of Mr. Gladstone's Gov- ernment, who firat advanced such &n alternative, and then characteristically withdrew it when the United States Commiesioners would not heer of it.” But I don't think the people generelly sup- pose Mr, Gladstone is in fault. They rather assume that it is a bit of ill-luck, and that America lately has had “all the running.” Num er:u? papers fiifsffifif iunL o“«i:is’ 2ok, tect againgt an extraordinary. *Hire in ‘tn Times (attributed to Mr. Lowe)™in which weare toldtoeddress the Cantifans in this wiee: From this time forth 5ok after your own business ; you are tiglenough, you tre etrong enough JOWR ves, and you are intelligent enough, and, -+ there wers sny deficiency in any of these Dpoints, it would be supplied by the education of self-reliance.

Certeinly it would be o blunder to suppose that the Times, in this, represents tho feeling of the naticn. A handful of able men are in favor of ‘“‘letting Caneda g‘[?;“ but the masses are alfogether 2gainst it. o question is not ripe for any such settlement. Therais a good deal of irritation at such incidents as ths threat of war by the New York Herald whken it thought the San_Juan_decision might be the other way; and at the present moment the country would vote to a man for *“nailing the col~ ors to the mast ” where Canada is concerned. THE SHORTCOMINGS OF TIE BRITISE ARY. While Mr. Beed and other S;nterestefl) judges nre endesvoring to frighten the British’ people into a huge amount of expenditure on iron-cled ‘men-of-war, a body of military critics are en- deavoring to show the shoricomings of the army. John Bull is indeed in & bad plight if balf what these suthorities say be true. The military man to whom most beed is given is Coio- pel Cheeney, suthor of the spiritcd little sketch, which taok the public by storm, called “The Battle of Dorking.” Colonel Cheiney 18 ® bright, heppy-tempered men, of aboat 40; genial and plessant, ss well ‘s clover snd ehrewd. 'He has a etrong cpinion as to the un- fitness of the executive system to the require- ments of modern war, and still stronger of the unfitness of the English edministrative system for the purpose of feeding and of otherwise eupplying the wants of the army during the war. “The men who have to win battles may be the bravest and most highly instructed of sol- diers; but, tnless & machinery exists by mesns of which they shall be kept, when in the feld, well fed, clothed, paid, and supplied with ammu~ nition, &e., the army had better not exist at all, &5 faraatho nation is concerned. With Eng: and, it is not those who are known fo be tho best men who are selected for commands, ‘but those who poesess what is termed * the best claims.” Tho vested interests of officers hava etill great weight st the Horso Guards, and s long es it is considered that all vacant positions of importance must be given to scniors, g0 long will England suffer. Surely, 28y8 Colonel Chesncy, (though he does not write thie with his signature attached), “surelyno one with any pretence to s knowledse of war, or of the merits and reputation of the officers’ in our ermy, would sufler our iroops to leave Eng- Jand for real warfaro under such Generals as hbave recently been employed,—there being some iant 'excegnomz. Why, therefore, employ them during thelate manceivres? The majority were incapable of affording instruction to others, from their jgnorance of the science of their profession, and they were beyond the age, and moetly wedded to old ideas, to loarn them: eelves New military ideas assimilate as badly with the brains of our Generals and older offi- cers 28 does 2 patch of new cloth with an old garment.”- Of thoso who now hold the rank of General in the British army, fow have evor studied their profession ecientifically; and those who have bnd war-experience have gained it when the tactical requirements of the present day were undreamt of. The infantry is in- structed in the art of fighting. as practised in e sge that i3 no more; and ite' proficiency in unpliable, and xondarnnu move- ments would only enable it to dieina disciplined manner. The militia and volunteer officers poeeessnone of that special and scientific knowl- edge of their profession to which 80 much im- portance is now atteched in armies. The British soldier, sgain, has & rooted sus- icion in all bis dealings with those who furnish im with food. As long a8 he had tha power of. complaining to his officers, who could complain direct by the nearest General or staff officer, he knew that, ssthey had no possible interest in either %;vmghun short weight or inferior Ta-- tions, they would see that he ‘ got his rights ;" ‘but, now that he knows that, through the work- ing of the Control Department, his complaints g0 to officers of the depariment by which the rations are iesued, ho believes he can be injured withno chance of redress. The mew Control Depariment, in fact, i distrusted by the army. . This mietrast bes given rise to such dislike that, . in one of the oldest and largest military clubs, this_vear, when, at a general meeting, somo hundfeds’ of members being present, it was pmgn:ed to substitute the words ¢ Control officers ” for * Commissariat oficers” in ihe spumerstion of those who wers eligiblo to be- come members, there was only one member beeides the proposer—a Control . offcer—i the seconder, who voted for it. Thepz:up;:g tion was, in fact, received with groansof dis- approval from all sides. To have with an army in the field a department that wishes to control everything, to interfere with military move- ments, mmi to itself military functions that can only be performed by combatant officers, while, at the same time, it robels against any military control being exercised over 1t officers, or the manner in_which they per- form their duties, is to court disaster. THE CO-OPERATIVE SSSTEM AXD THE CLUBS. The London tradesmen continue to agitate with bitterness and activity against the co-oper- etive associations of members of the Civil Ser- vice. They contend that, as individualsreceiving Btate pay, the civil servanis have norightto esf.;::}aa)}ti:mefi;es injurious to trade. To such len, will pecuniary intercst carry man- kind, that it is literally trua that doptations of tradesmen have waited upon members of the Government, urging immediate interference on the part of the superior authorities. It need aardly be gaid that no notice is taken, by the Hends of Departments, of these complainis. Yot, on the other hand, the position of the West- End_ tradesman is deserving of a certain amoumt of pity. His rent is enormously high, and he i8 obliged to givo very long credit, If it maddens him to see 2oms of his customors going Off to tho co-operative stores, and paying tho ready money which they refused to him, we need not be very critical a8 to his economical errors. On the other hand, the false syatem of credit, and the stress of competition, have led the trades- man into tricks and habits of dealing which are demoralizing to everybody concerned. To such an extont has this grown, that an _agent of resistance has sprung up in &n unexpecter quar~ ter. The clubs are in revolt; and, if the movoes ment is maintained, the profits of the West End tradesmen will receive another serious blow. As an illustration of the manner in which the co- operative principle is gradually permeating the commercial system in England, a few furthor particulars may be interesting.” The co-opera- tive principle,which 18 the basis of all club-organ- ization, has ‘nob hitherto been applied to that art of club-management which requiresit most. Subscriptione have been collected together, and the requisite buildings have been built and’ fur- nished; but the provisioning of clubs has been left to the West-End tradesman, who finds it to his interest to fee club and_other servants, and thus to make them subservient to himeelf. The consequences of rapidly-increasing retail prices, and the combination of tradesmen and servants, aretobe seen inthe deficit which club-committees toooften find when they investigate acconnts for provisioning,—amounting, frequently,. to thousands of pounds in but a comparatively ehort time. Clubs should buy everything by wholesale,—not _only food, but wines, beer, 8pirite, cigars, gless, chins, plate, linen, cutlery, and ail fhie thousand-ond-one household neces- saries out of which the retailer now makes his large profits. Destroy, it is urged, the ratail system, and your servants will have un]y ons master to serve (the old evil of *tips,”and grotuities, and percentages having simultane- ously ceased), and members of clubs will be se- cured against occasional “whipa” to_clear off Tosses in the catering_department, and against finding the prices on the carfe largely increased. With a capital of £150,000, the West-End clubs, itis thought, might establish for their own usé a cu-ngemtive store which would provide them with the best of everything at the lowest prices, and which wonld make a large return for the money invested. The clubs are all within a short distance of one another; they could bo inexpensively sorved from a central atore, and, being ready-money customers to themselves, they could not fail to make profits both waya. —_— THE NATiONAL CENTENNIAL. Addresy of the Commissioners, . The Commissioners in charge of the celebra~ tion of the National Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia have issued the following address: To TiE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES: The Congressof the United States has enacted that the completion of the One Hundredth Year of American Independence ghall be celebrated by an International Exhibition of the Arts, Manu- faatures, and Products of the soil and mine, to be beld &t Philadelphia, in 1876, and Lasappoint= ed Commission, consisting of represen:atives from each State and Territory; {0 conduct the celebration. _ . o Origitating nnder the auspicesof the National Legislature, controlled by & National Commis- siop, and designed aa it is to “ commemorate the first century of our existence, by an exhibition of the natural resources of the country and their development, end of our progress in those arts which benefit mankind, in comparigon with those of old natiors,” it is to the. people at large that the Commission look for the aid which is necos- sery . to make the centennial celebration the grandost anniversary the world has ever seen. That the camrleliun of the first century of our existence ehould ba marked by some imposing demonstration ig, we believe, the patriotic wish of the people of the whole country. The Con- gress of the United Btates has wisely decided that the birthday of the Grest Republic can be most fittingly celebrated by the universal collection and display of all the trophiea of its progress, 1t is designed to bring together,with- 1n 2 bnilding covering fifty scres, nob only the varied productions of our mines &nd of the soil, but types of all of the intellectusl triumphs of our citizens, specimens ' of everything that America can farnish, whether from the brains or the hands of her children, and thus make evi~ dent to the world the advancement of which a self-governed people is capable. In this *cele~ bration” ell nations will be invited to partici- pate, its charcter being internationsl. Europe will display her arts nd manufactures, India her curious fabrics, while newly-opened China and Japan will lay bare the treasures which for centuries their ingenious people have been per- fecting. Each land will compete in generous rivalry for the claim of superior excellence. ‘To this grand gathering every zone will con- trubute ity fruits and ceresls. “No mineral shall be wanting; for what the East lacks the West will suppl{. Under one roof will the South dis- play in rich Inxuriance her growing cotton, and the North, in manufacture, the ceaselcss ma- chinery of her mills, converting that cotton into cloth. ~ Each section of the globe will send its best offerings to this Exhibition, and each State of the Union, as & member of one united body politic, will show to her sister States and to the world how much she can add to the greatness of the nation of which she i3 s harmonious part. To make the Centennial Celebration such a success as the patriotiem and the pride of every American demands, will requirs the co-operaztion of the people of the whole country. The United States Cen- tennial Commigsion has received no Government 2id, such as England extended to her World's Fair, and France to her Universal Exposition, yet the labor and responsibility imposed upon the Commission is as great as in sither of those undertakinge. It is estimated that $10,000,000 will be_required, and_ihis sum Congreas bas providod ehall be reised by atock subscription, and that the people ehall have the opportunity of subscribing in progortion to the population of their respective States and Territories. The Commiesion looks to the unfailing patriotism of the people of overy section, to ses that each contributes its share to the ex- onges, and receives its share of the enefits of en enterprise in which all are £o deeply intorested. 1t would further enrneat- Jy urge the formation in each State and Territo- Ty of & centenniel organization, which shall in time see that county associations are formed, 50 that when the nations are gathered together in 1876 each Commonwealth can wWew with pride the contributions ehe haa made to the Nationsl lory. Grgnfifiantly relying on the zeal and patriotism ever di!}:lu.yed by our people in every national undertaking, we pledge aad prophesy that the Centennisl Celebration will worthily show how grentness, wealth, and intelligence can be fos- tered by such inatitutions as those which have for one hundred years blessed the people of the United States. Josepm R. Hawres, President. Lewis WALY Sanrh, Temporary Secretary. A g o Elopement Extraordinary —A Farme ex’s Wife and Daughter Elope with a Father and Son. From the Albany Journal, Nov, 12. The quiet Little village of Clarksville, in_this county. has been stirred by a more than ordinary sensation, within the past few days, the facts of which, as related to us by the injured party himgelf, are about as follows: Isasc Roae, a hard-working farmer, not over 40 years of. age, together with his wife Elizabeth, aged 30, dsugh- ter Mary Louiss, aged 16, and little boy, conati- tuting the Rose family, reided in the village, and, until within a few daya diaut, Ar, Rose was unaware of the shock his domestic happiness 'was 8o soon fo receive. He, in his vocation as farmer, was necessarily ebsent from home at his work from early morning until late at night, and Thursday last was no exception to the rule.” On returning home that evening he found the house dark snd deserted. The door had been locked, end it was evident the family was absent. Bup- posing his wife was visiting her brother in an- other paré of the village, he turned his steps thither, but to his astoniehment found only his little boy there. He pursned his inquiries, and learned to his sorrow that she had left the vil- Isge with herdaughter. Further inquiry proved that she had deserted him for another man, and also that his daughter too had been stolen from Reeiding in the village was a man_named Solomon Vincent, 30 years of age, and living with him during the summer and fall was hig father, Cyrus Vincent, aged 70. The husband for the first time learned that these two men were frequent visitors at his house, and from the evidence of his gon, who was prosent when they wero at the honse during Thureday, it was apparent to him that they were criminally inti- mate with Lis wife and daughter, and that the four intended to elops together. Mrs. B. bought s trunk s gy or two before, and &t the time of the purchase made the remark that she was going West.” The father and son also digay peared from the village, and, as the husband elieves, came to this city, where they joined his wife and daugh- tor, and have “ gone Wost.” The woman took with her a number of articles of bedding, etc., end 2 in money. The alleged paramour i well off in this world's goods, and, if they have fled together, she will doubtless be well cared for.

Its Growth and Magnitude. The receipts of lumber by lake will end early in December, and they will foot up & much larger total than in any former season. Chicago i8 now without s rival in this branch of trade, which has wholly grown to its present status during twenty yesrs past. The great demand for lumber, this season, to rebuild our city, hasadded somewhat to receipts; but the ratio of increase is butlitile above the gradual increase of former years—being sbout 8 per cent addition to the receipta of 1871, and 10 percent above thoee of 1870. Situnted midway be- tween the lumber producing and consuming sec~ tions,. with water and railroed transportation, Chicago naturally became thegrand distributing point of this important commodity. TUntil 1850, the demand for Iumber was chiefly for city consumption ; but, when the different lines of railroad centreing here began to develop the West, lumber was among thé most important items of their businees, and the. country lumber trade became of great volume, and has increased from 5,000,000 feetto almost 600,000,000 feet per annum, valued at $12,000,000,—and this ex- clusive of shingles, lath, and manufactured lum- ber in the form of doors, sash, &c., Valued at not less than £3,000,000 more. : The total receipts of lumber =lone in Chica- g0, the present season, will reach 1,200,000,000, and the amount consumed in rebuilding the city is estimated at 600,000,000, which, at an average of £15 per thoueand feef, makes the value of the total recuilp:s ot the port 218,000,000, exclu- sive of shinglo and leth, which'can be safely placed at £3,000,000 more. It will b seen by the above estimates (which are at wholesale rates) that lumber has really but few rivals in the com- merce of our city; and it being 8o bulky and only moved by mantsl labor, large numbers of our citizons find very profitable employment in connection with the transfer through our mar- ket. To bring the matter to the comprehension of those of our readers mnot familiar with the large amount in bulk actnally handled, we will atate that the lumber actuallytransferred to cars during a_ season, if londed 6,000 feetin each car, and estimating each car80 feetin length, would extend 600 miles, each car touch- ing the other; and that, if the whole amount-re- ceived in this port was loaded in vessels, esch ¢ rrfing 130,000 feet (an arerage cargo), the ‘whole would form an unbroken line of vessels, each touching the other, for 230 miles. No other ity than Chicago could distribute this bulky commn?*> in the space of twelve months, &S none have the system of railroads so ‘complete. In no other city do railroad officials afford the facilities thet the lumber and other interests of Chicago enjoy. The majority of this yast amount of lumber is fully aseoried be- fora it starts for the interior, althongh etch railroad company furnishes ample docks for transfer of cargoes and at simgly cost of loading cars. Each year this branch of shipping in- cresses, as dealers in the interior gain capital ko buy from mills dircct; but, as the means-of dressing lumber is limited in gmall_towne, much is assorted and dressed in this city. "Prior to 1858 all ‘lumber shipped in cars was hauled by teams to the different depots, and for this a charge for cartage was always mado. Since that date, by a system of switching, cars of any rail- road terminating hore can be set intoany lum- beryard at simply the cost f ewitching, and g0~ woll orgamized is this bran of railroading _that cars can be filled promptly. It is not ununeual fo ses cars of as many as six railroads standing in one lum- ber yard—some _loading for Boston, others for stations on the Union and Kansas Pacific Roeds, gide by side. To produce so large an amount of lumber requires an investment of money in pro- portion. Many of our lumber merchants are manufacturers as well, owning their pine lands, mills, veesels, docks, in fact, o complete lumber estublishment, of yhich Chicago hee meny, only lacking the two items of railroads and customerd, Another class own mills ond lands, and sell by cargo only. Still another class have only stocks of lumber in this market, which they buy Ly cargo afloat. i o combined interests are represented in Chicago by nearly two_hundred firms, and the large amount of lumber sold here annually causes s healthy competition and fair prices. Our quotations of lumber will, when com- pared with Lake Erie and Eastern ports, show s much lower range of prices, particularly on com- mon boards and dimension lumber. “In clear lumber the difference isnot so great, asthestock is never large in this market ; still, clear lumber can generally be shipped to Albany and Boston from Chicago, by rail, at a profit, The uniform Jow price of lumber in this mar- ket is caused by the great improvements in ma- chinery during ten yeors past. Twenty yeara ago most saw mills were operated by water, and generally contained ‘‘ mulay " and ““sash” saws Slprisl\b , and & mill producing 20,000 feet per ny was o first-class mill. About 1852 the firat “ gang ™ of sawa used in this section was intro- duced on Green Bay, and driven by water. Each year has added improvements, until the water mills _of 1848 have given place to the splendid modern mills of tho present, rated to eaw from 100,000 to 140,000 fest per day of eleven hours. Different sections use different styles of saws, somo pre- ferring_ * gangs,” others “circulars,” accord- ing to the style of lumber required to be sawed. ‘The largest mills use both *““gangs ™ and **cir- culars,” and by this means are prepared to as- sort and saw all logs to the most desirable fum- ber. Improvements in machinery will continue to be made until the cost of producing lumber ia atill less, and Chicago must continue in the future, agin the past, thegreat distributing point for this necessary article 8o much used in devel- oping & new country. " HORRIBLE WIFE MURDER. A Kansas Doctor Shoots His Wife and Cuts fler to Pieces with a Hatchet. From the Kansas Cily Times, Nov, 8, s Details reached this city last evening concern- ing 8 horrible tragedy perpetrated near or in Topeka by & physicisn well-known in this city, a ‘man heretofore bearing the best of eharacter, a kind-hearted husband, and a warm personal friend of all who knew him. On lnst Sunday night, Dr. Stark, of thia city, Teceived & despatch from Topeka for Dr. Milli- gan, which was at once_forwarded to that gen- tleman’s residence in West Kansas. The de- spatoh was from a warm personal friend of Dr, illigan, summoning him to Topeka immediate- ly. He sanoaad at once that something un- usugl was the matter ; so, bidding his wife and family adieu, ho loft for Topeka. That same night his house was destroyed by fire, leaving his family out in the streets, Dr. Milligan found, on his arrival at Topeks, that he had been celled upon to attend the bed- side of the wife of an old friend of his, who was suffering from a severe illness. He prescribed for the patient, and started out upon the street, when ho was met by Dr. Samuel Ashmore, with whom he was on terms of the closest intimacy. He was warmly welcomed, and accompanied him to his house, and during his stay in Topeks was with him frequently ; but during this time ob- gerved no signs of mythi%g Buspicions or vicious in Ashmore's conduct. He informed him that he had made a bet of $1,000 on Grant’s election, and was confident of winning his wager. On_Wednesday morning, Dr. Milligan meb with Dr. Ashmore, and was invited by him to ac- company him_out for & drive over the city, which invitation was accepted. Ashmore ap- peared to be flushed and excited by liquor, and very boisteronsly jubilant over the election of General Grant. ~ Soon after leaving Ashmore's residence, Dr. Milligan observed that the team they were driving was a fractious one, and that, in Ashmore's inebriated condition, it was liable to run away. He took the reins from Ashmoro, and said he would drive,—that he could manage the team better Ashmore now showed the first indications of the frenzy and madness which ter- minated in the butchery of his wife. He drew a revolver, end pointed it at Dr. Milligan, and told him to give up the reins, or he would shoot him dead on the instant, at the samo time cocking the istol. Dr.Milligan, surprisedat the violencemani= tested, jumped out of the buggy, and started to walk back to the house of Dr. Ashmore. The Iatter started the team, but_fell out of the bug- Eybslore going very far. Dr. Milligen ran to is agsistance, stopped the team, and assisted Dr. Ashmore to get in afisin. He then turned the buggy and drove back to the house. Ashmore tied his team before his door and en- tered the house. In a short time afterwardsDr. Milligan was startled to hear two " shots fired in the house, one immediately after the other. He hurried ag fast as possible to the house with anxious foreboding of trouble. Enterin :.Lle 8 kitchen he discovered Dr. Ashmore engaged in the brutal task of chopping out his wife's ‘breaats with & common hatchet. Mrs. Ashmore lay dead in the contre of the .Litchen floor, ehot through the head. He 7 had fired st _her immedintely on entering the house, and killed her while ehe was attempting. %o escape, by_shooting her through tho. back of the head.. He then picked up & hatchet and was engaged in the atrocious act of chopping out her heart'when Dr. Milligan entered the room. Ashmore immediately sought refuge or conceal- ment behind a safe or bureau and drew his re~ yolver. .Dr. Milligan perceiving that it was & desperate case requiring. prompt and desperate action, rushed upon the ken madman, when & dcs{emte . ef.mggle onsued. Ashmore fought and struggled with the fury of o madman, which he cortainly was. He received some heayy blowa in the head and face from Milligan,and was, with some assistance, finally secure 1t required the combined strength of ten men to teke him from ihe house to the jail, 80 fierce and so superhu- manly strong was he in his desperation, He is se- curely confined in jail awaiting investigation. R ol WG i A SOLDIER'S FUNERAL. Obscquies of the Late General Meade in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHEIA, Nov. 11.—Since the obsequies of President Lincoln, Philadelphia hes not wit- nessed such an imposing funeral pn%ennt a8 this of Philadelphia’s greatest and best-beloved sol- dier has been to-day. For days meetings had been held thronghout the city, every body of importance desming it a privilege to make évery arrangement in its pow- er to insure o fltting burial for the late com- mander. The Committee of Councils, the Dem- ocratic-Republican Club, the Phihde]&hia Club, committees of citizens appointed by the Mayor, the Fairmount Perk Art -Aseociation, Custom House officials, the Park Commission, the Grand Army of the Reguhlic, and the Army of the Po- tomac had pessed verions and appropriate reso- lutions. General Hartranft had issued a circular to the soldiers and sailors of the late war. Similar.ones had been issued to the Pean- sylvonie Reserves, the Scott Legion, the State Fencibles, tho Sacond Brigade, and by the Department commander, General McDowell, in whose charge the final disposal of the different bodies was placed. Of course, all this was in opposition tothe preferences of General Meade's {family, who, governed indeed by his own ex- ressed wishos, desired & funeral ns devoid of isplay es possible. But Genersl Meade's ser- vices ga,va ‘his country as great & claim to be per- mitted to honor him a8 those of any man could give to any country, and all objections were overrnled by the assumed control of the United States Government. This much wasstrenuously insisted upon and yielded to the eacred charac- ter of family privacy: the remains were not un- covered and gazed upon by public curiosity. Naturally enough, then, the streets of the city ‘were crowded with people of both sexes and of all ages, Over every flagstafl, and over many porticoos, and wonnd around many pillars, was the American flag draped with appropriate black, The expression in every face way an earnest of the sincority and depth of the universal grief ' and sense of logs. Early this morning the body of the deconsed was “removed from the house to St. Mark’s Church, where it was placed in front of the altar, guarded by a detail selected by General McDow- ell. Long before half-past 10, the time fixed for the services, the church was packed. The offi- ciating clergymen were Rov. Mr, Hoffman, Rec- tor, Bishop Odenheimer, and Bishop Whipple, Bishop Odenheimer read the beautiful liturgy of tho Episcopal Church, and the latter mede &n address oulogistio of tho deceased. The funeral procession commenced moving ebout half-past 11 o'clock, and took nearly an hour to- pass any given point. The national, State, and city offi- cials vied with private citizens in doing honor to thedead. The coffin was carricd_on o gun-car- riage drawn by six horses belonging to Battery E, one of the most famous of the war, and fol- lowed by a horse led with saddle and vacant boots reveraed. The coflin was covered with the American colors and surmounted by a sword sod wreath. President Grant rodein an open carriege, sccompenicd by George H. Stuart and other gontlemen. _Genérals Shiorman, Sheridan, end other army officers appeared in full uniform. Address of Bishop Ywhipple at the Grave of General Meade. ‘The address of Bishop Whipple at the grave of Goneral Meads was very impressive. In the course of his remurks, ha said : I heve not come to beer tributes of respect to this great Boldier who is dead. The city, the State, the nation—all bave done this. Until longest time shall last, among the names which are inwrought in our country's history, his name will be a household word. I stend by the grave of the one I loved, and my thoughts are of that One on whom ho leanod a8 ho went down into the dark valley, and of the land of beauty which is afar off. How poor are words of praise of the sleeping dead! Farsweeter is the voice from Heaven: “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord;” and to know that he whom we Joved so well, when his hands were unclasped from earthly things, could say, with the intuition of the blegsed : “** The Lord is my shepherd, therefors can I not want. Though I walk through the nq}ey of the shadow of death, Iwill fear no evil During our late_civil war, in its darkest days, I happened to be in Washington, and I receive: & telegram from our brother, asking me to come to his camp and celebrate fhe Easter commu- nion. It wasa strnnsa place for Easter flowers, and Easter ean%fl, end tihe Easter storyof the Resurrection; but I don't recall a service more redolent of tho peace of Heaven. Many of the bronzed men that kuelt that day at the Lord's table, liko him who is lying hers, aro sleeping with the dead. Othors are scattered afar in this busy world. I knew that day that we, too, had centurions who feared God and prayed alway. Death camo to him hardly with the sound of & footfall. There were a_few days that - friends waited upon medical gkill, but his thoughts Teroin the Jand whithor be 'wae goiug. 'Tho tears of penitence and the look of faith were blent in dying prayers. He asked his pastor for the Communion, and he gathered by the Lord’s tablo manna for the last journey. And so he fell asleep, in the blessed sleop. The country needs men—not men that curse and swear, not men who cheat and lie, not men who nover pay any act of worship but st the dram-ghop; but men that believe in God, and are ashamod to sin, men that can ehow us how to live, and, if need be, show us howto die. If wo thus live—fearing God, and living in holy obedience to His laws—it will matter little when death shall come, for though we shall go to lic down in_the quict ehurchzard, thoy that have lived and loved here together will soon be to- gether. S THE CHOLERA IN INDIA. The Physicians Utterly Baffied. Calcutta (Oct. 4) Correspondence of the London Times At Bokhara and in Cashmere, 2s well a8 in In- dia, the disease seems to have abated almost z8 rapidly as it hae spresd. Binco the firet out- ‘break to the Iatest returns there have been 750 cases of men, women, and children among Brit- ish troops, and of these £78 cases have been fo~ tal. In some instances the progress of the dis- ease was dresdfully rapid, and, had the yesr been s little less advanced, there is overy reason to believe that these large mumbers would bave been materially greater. The amount of care and patience directed 1o the subject of cholera by the medical profes- sion is enormous, but, so far, little seems gained beyond an analysis of symptoms and of other features of the disease. Nothing eatisfactorily probable has been arrived a8 to the cause or cure of cholera. Ihave reccived this morning the report for last year of the Madras Sanitary Commissioner, and some of the facts are pain- fully interesting. * * * Ve have the un- pleasant statement that as far as treatment went, the medical officer in charge and all under him would * sum up their experionce and obser- 'vations in the one 'sad word, ‘useless'—at all events when the disease had passed beyond a cer- tain stage. Every kind of recommended lina of treatment—the saline, tho alkaline, the deriva~ tive, the stimulant, the alteative, the expectant —vwere tried, and_signally failed. Dr. Cowen states that thore is no iscoverable cause for the disense. The men had peither been eating nor drinking to excess, there was no suspicion of infection, and tho hospital afterward secommo- dated native troops without & case_of illness. The assistant surgeon in charge made a like re- port as to the utter impossibility of any conjec- ture as £o0 tho cause of the disease, but he states that the largest number of victims were from among those men who, from long residence in the place, or other causes, had become deterior~ ated in heslth. Amopgthe recruils of five months’ Indian service, four were attacked, ond all recovered. The officers had, with one or two exceptions, had short service in Indis, or had been at home since the arrivel of the regiment, and not one of them wes attacked. All this i8 important, but I do not know whether your medical readers will gay that it adds much to their knowledge of the causes of cholera or the remedies for it. The Real ¢ Mansard.” From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. Webeg leave to é‘en\‘( a vzo for Mongienr Francois Mansard, who has been in his grave ‘more than these 200 years, and whose roofs cover large portions of the great cities of Europe. I8 it posaible that it is reserved for America and this Lgensrmiun to call down curses on the head of ihe old French architect? Notabit of it. The frouble is not with the shape of the roof, but with its material and interior constraction. That vast quadrangle of palaces called on one end the Tuileries, and on_the other the Lonvre, \was nearly all covered with Mansard roofs, and yet when the Tuileries_burned, the rest of the building was saved. Why is- plain enough to any one who looks atthe still-standing thick brick partitions, running transverse the buildin; and extending clear up to and sbove the roo! The ancient snd enduring blocks that inclose the Place Vendome are another testimony to the safety and durability of thisclass of roofs. Itis preposterous o suppose that only iron was used i their construction. We " suspect that stout oak constitues their internal skel- eton, embedded and cased so far ss possible in mortar and - masonry. Herein, we- believe, lies the Bafety of the conti- nental cities,—in thick walls and mortar-laid wood-worls, thick chimneys, and thick tiling on the roofs § finally, in the celerity and vigor with which the ordinary applisnce of axes, ladders, and pails of water aro applied to the incipient conflagration, while the fire-engines are making ready. As for the Mansard roof, it is the only topping-off of business blocks that is_architec- turally decent. With a street of flat-roofed blocks, the horizon becomes one straight, dull line, but the Mansard roof gives a touch of Ga:l‘ua picturesqueness as well as useful attics. But they must be rested on frequent partitions of masonry, framed with iron, casemated with something” thicker than slates, and nof hoisted too near the stars. THE ART OF CATTLE-DRIVING. Scenes at Communipaw--Texan Steers and Mexican Vagueros. From the New York Times, Nov,12. . An exhibition of the well-known skill of Mex- ean yaqueros in the arb of driving and lasso- ing the half-wild cattle of their country was re- cently given af the Capitolino Grounds, in Brooklyn, by 5 troupe of these men, who had been brought East by an onterprising showman. Among the spectatorson the occasion appears to have been a Now York butcher, who does an ex- tensive business in Texas cattlo. To him oo curred the idea that the Mexicans might be more usefully employed than in the show business, and forthwith he engaged two of tho most skilful in the troop as drovers. These men were sent over to the Communipaw Cattle Tards, end on Friday they gave an examplo there of their kill. Threo Texan steers—wiry, active and long-horned, g8 these animals are, and driven to the verge of madness by the sufferings of their three weeks’ jomrneyin the cars—were turned out into slgrge inclosure. The hundreds of men engaged in the abatoir and sbout the yards gathered to view the scene. Bearcely had the dened cattle roshed into the inclosure, when the vaqueros dashed in on their active ponies, and, throwing their Jong Iassoes ~over ome of the steers, brought it abt once to the ground, The animal’s legs were immediately tied, and the men, remounting, %umned the others, which were careering round the yard at a furious rate. Dashing beside one of them, a_vaquero seized the animal's tail, end by s sudden and violent effort compelled it to perform an involuntary summersault. Scrambling to its feet, the furi- ous beast rushed on, and the gate of the enclos- ure being thrown open, the steers were driven throngh the yards to_the abbatoir. This was & task which displayed the skill of the drivers quite as much asthe lassoing. The animals, wild with rage and terror, ran furiously in every direction but the one they were wanted to go'; ‘baut at every turn, they were met by one or the other of the vaqueros, shouting and fourishing his 1a8s0; and no matter how rapid the rush of the snimal, or how short the turns it made, the nimble ponies of the drivers were always before it, till the panting and half-eshausted animals wero finally driven into the pens of the slaugh- ter-house. The vaqueros then returned to the yard where they had left the third stoer, and ‘untying its logs, an operation requiring the greatest activity end skill to perform safely, the animal was speedily driven into the-pen’ with its companions. The saffair 4ltogethor oc- cupied but a very short time, and excited the admiration of the immenss number as- eembled to witness it. Ordinarily, if a Texan steer gets mad, and bresks loose, the whole tribe of drovers, indeed, everybody in the yards, turn out to hunt it, and the Bcene becomes ex- citing, not to eay dangerous. Sometimes tho ‘maddened animal escapes _altogether, and, rush- ing down the rosd into Jersey City, clears the streots everywhere befors it. Many accidents of this character bavo heppened, and the in- stances of geople beiné; illed by thess farious creatures, before & rifle could be brought to bear on them, are not altogether unknown. By the employment of vajueros, it is hoped these accidents will in fature be avoided, for, be the animal ever so furious, the nunerring lasso will bring it helpless to the gronnd in an instant. A new system of killing the cattle at the eb- batoir has also been inaugurated, which does away with the dsngerous practice of securing the animals in the slaughter-pens. When the cattle have been driven into 3 pen, cne of the killers mounts on a wide plank placed above and across it for the purpose, and selecting the fated beast, strikes it with s heavy spear at the junction of the spinal column with the skull. "The beast drops instantly, like a log. The door of the pen is then partially opened, and 3 rope being -drop- ed over the horns, the animal is dragged out. 'his is regarded as a far better system t! the 0ld one of striking the beast on "the head with an axe. The animal is killed almost instantly, and there is no danger to the men engeged in the operation. —_——— TRAGEDY IN A TUNNEL. The Lato Accident at Mont Cenis. ‘With rogard to the recent saccident in the Mont Cenis Tunnel, the following is an_extract from the letter of & lady who was one the pas- Bengers: “'B1LAY, Oct. 13.—Siz: Befors I say any- thing about Paris I must tell you of the fright- ful sccident tbat happeped to us in the Mont Cenis Tunnel this' day weck. They say everyone must experience some sccident or suothor if they travel by rail. Our day came at lnst. \We were face to face with death, and death of the most frightful kind. We left Modane at 4 o'clack Inst Sundsy after- noon, and aftor fiftcen minutes' ride in "tho train we arrived at -the mouth of the celobrated Italian Paes, the Mont Cenis Tunnel, which is 150 feet above the town of Modane, and the train gets to it by a zigzag kind of way. If all goes right the express gets through the tunnel in_forty minutcs. Now, we had got nearly throngh, when, without the least ‘warning, except a terrific noise and an awful crash, which sent us fiying from our_seats, our train stopped. We were 8o stunned for the first minuto that none of us knew anything, but the shrieks of our fellow-passengers awakened us to the sense of our danger. In abont five minutes our coupo was filled with amole, and we were in total darkness. The horror we experienced I cannot tell you, for no one can imagine it even who has not gone throngh it. Our train had run into & goods train in the very centre of this horrid ‘inferno.” The heat was likean oven. Three of the carriages were smashed to splinters, and several passengers were mortally wounded. The body of one engi- neer has not yet been found, Well, we stuck in this horrible place, without light, almostwithout air, and_without help, for five hours. Ouren- gine'had burst, and this had caused the smoke. At lnst six engines were brought into the tunnel todrag us out. After the second hour had passed the employes seemed to lose their heads, and when the engines came wa were flying back- ward and forward, every moment believing we shonld be dashed to pieces. All the passengers crowded together, and we fairly shrieked to to deliver us from such a horrible death. -Wo ‘wrote our names on slips of paper in case we should die in the tunnel. At last we got off and were taken back to Modane, the same place we started from. o When we arrived at the station, such & scene I shall nover forget. Some women were in con- vulsions; men were weeping; some had to be carried from the coupe; my sister and I both fainted when we put_our feet on safe ground. We had kept up wonderfully in the tunnel, and no harm had happened to us excopt some cuts in the face from splinters of glass. Our nerves are wesker than a baby’s, and I do'nob think we shall regain our healths for months; but we are thankful to have been saved. The mismanage- ment that night was shameful, and I hope the world may know the facts as they really occurred. We have read seversl accounis in the papers, but they misrepresent the disaster altogether, and they dare not gay how frightful it was. If we had not, happily, been in such good heslth, we might have sustained an irreparable injury. Some of the ladies are injured so that they can- not be moved for s month.” e e - A Case of Incredulity. Paris Correspondence of the New York Times. One of the vacant lots upon_an outer boule- verd is given up to a sort of fair, and beside the sale of toye and gingerbread—Pain d'epice de _Nancy—there are severnl small shows and jug- glers’ booths. Upon the outside of s small shanty oue sees a large (fuinted canvas, repre- senting & number of wild animals, and in the centre a royal Bengal tiger is struggling in the folds of an enormous boa. On Tuesday evening an animated crowd was gathered before this ghow, - several persons accusing the show- man of decciving the public, They had .|-curiosity or thrqug! aid five sous to see' the snd ad seen but one snake, and that was dead. The showman had protested—the bete was onlyslee, ing. A mum !;fi:g wlfltgx & heavy skdxc‘ and followed by & e dog, proposed to settle the mnttir, and “he declared thst if he found any deception he would enter a complaint against the A‘Ilmwmsn. T&w public n_cnlmntx?;} their brawny champion, and paying again, out 4 an’sense %g pnglic duty, they entered the show. . The snake Was as quist ns ever. The countryman walked about him, tapped on the glass, examined on all sides, and, finslly, decided that the snake was nob alive. 1f you come when he takes his food you will see whether he is aliveornot,” said the showman. ‘The count 2n declared that this was merely to put off the public, but he had besn found out atlast. “No man can deceive mo with such shows as this” he said, majestically; and the crowd spplauded and looked upon him 23 5 hero. “Yon buy a rabbit for him’then,” gaid the showman, sulkily. Thecountryman was s0 sure that no man con{d deceive him that he offered to throw his-dog. ‘At first the showmsan ac- cepted, but seeing that his antagonist was in earnest he began to protest. This was taken a8 a sign of fear, The crowd began .menscing. They threatened to tear down his shanty, and to march bim off to the police. Holding Lis dog in one hand, his stick in the other, the countryman allowed one minute only for opening the cage. ‘The showman retreated; he pictured the fate of the dog, and was laughed at for his pains. The time had nearly expired when he raised his lid, and, with & glance of iriumph around, the countryman threw in his dog.. He had barely touched the floor ere the bos raised his head, and, quick as s flash, he enveloped the terror- stricken dog and crushed him in his monstrous coils. There was one plaintive velp, & cracking of bones, and that was all. The countryman was thunderstruck, He took of his hat, aud drew his hand across his brow. At that moment his eyes fell upon the showmsn. With s bound he sprang upon him, giving him & blow which felled him to the earth, and two or three more in quick succession. The showmen was killed on the spot. Before the Commissaire the country- man expressed many regrets for his vivacious movements, and so 'did the weeping wife and children of the showman. *‘Mr. President,” ho said, "I am very sorry. indeed that I killed the saltimbangue, but that dog of mine was worth three hundred francs.” Tie man will be tried for “homicide by imprudence,” and will get {from three to five years. THE FLURRY IN NEW YORK. Scenes on the Stock Exchange. From the New York Sun, Nov.12, . Long before 10 o'clock, the hour for opening the South street doors of the Stock Exchange, the vestibule was packed with 500 eager, almost furious men. The terrible earnestness with ‘which each tried to wedge himself still closer into the mass, the restless shifting of the crowd, the nervous twitching of faces, the compressed lips, the strange silence of friends, though standing there side by side, snd the subdued voices of those who spoke, all seemed’ porten- tious of somo coming shock, which men Wers neving themselves to meet. On the steps to the subscribers’ and mem- bere' door were & ecore of the best known brokers on’Change. Some stood thers with their heads jammed up against the ‘panels, as men who wero eaveadropping at the door of fate. The faces of others were turned up out of the crowd with a half-scared, half-sad ex- pression. All through the disquiet throng than clung, and scrambled, and toreto get a footing on the steps; among the palpitating ewarm that thurst, and surged, and swayer ngon the floor below; upon each, mnervous, fidgetting occupant of 'the chairs around the vestibule—you could see that avaricious Terror ‘'ad et his ark. As the doors fell back, a shriek, & howl, went up from the multitude, as they dashed into tho room. In aminute the floor was jammed with & wriggling mass of men, from whom a rear and yoll went up enough to scare the demons of ais- cord. Here & broker, with his bhat shoved back, esticulated to fifty wild and furious men around . Arms were reised, with ono finger oxtend- ed, with two fingers extended, with three fingers extended, and the hand was flung toward the speaker, accompanied by a yell, only to bs draxn back and flung forward again with more violence and ashriller cry. Then two or three men would cling togethes, raising hands and sticking out fingers, and shaking fists, and howling ab each other mntil the saliva gathered in form on _their lips. Suddenly another man would rush in and joini them, and begin the same gesticulation. ~ Another and another would follow, until the crowd swelled into half the room, and shrieked themselves hoarse. 2 In the Lake Shore crowd the scene was like an extrect from Bedlam. . Men bolabored the palm of one hand with the other fist. They shook their fists in each other’s faces, thrust their faces into other men’s faces, and made them quiver with earnestness; threw alofi thair arms with extended fingers, and thrashed the air all around ; shrieked into other men’s ears, and danced around, keeping up the yell and the digital action. From the Pacific Mail crowd a horrid din arose, asif wild Indians, savagely rejoicing overa victim, were trying to give a fore- taste of the torture to come. Men squeezed and shonted, and made passes throngh the air with outspread fingers. Here & man, in Lis in- tense eagerness to make 2 sale, would sgplit the crowd by main force and get inside, only to be closed in upon and almost smothered. ‘There a little man, in his anxiety to be heard, would spring two feet from the ground and fall, with extended hand working back and forward like a piston, on the_shoulders of those before him. TIn the Western Union_crowd every man was in motion all over. Heads were quivering, mouths were gaping, hands were fourishing, feet were !tamgmg. ond dreadful howlings minfiled into a horrible roar and echoed through the hall. Bohind the rails the subscribers stood, more silent, but scarcely less_oxcited then those on the floor. Tiach man held 2 elip in his hand con- taining the stock list, and noted therecn the fluctuations from time to time. One would yell out a broker's name, and soon ihe broker would come up to the rail, lean over, and receive the whispered order to buy this or that. Another would stand and look on smiling, watching his broker sell utock on Lis behalf at & profit. Amid all ‘tho disorder and discord, the Ex- change boys moved leisurely about in their blue- ish-gray jackets, with gilt buttons, and called out the names of brokers or subscribers who were wanted ontside. The felegraph operatora clicked nwey, and their messengers hurried hither and thither on the run, taking and receiv- -ing messages. At nbuu§ 11 o'clock the elegant Vice President called the Board to order, and announced the failure of two firms. A lull followed, soon, how- ever, to be succeeded by as great 2 hubbub as ever. Things now, however, were getting easier. Stocks that had fallen s0 _ominously at the ont- 8ot begen to recoyer, and men began to look more liko mon and less like demons. But still the enger struggln went on. Here a mun chuclled to his broker over his foresight and good Iuck. Thore one man fairly hugged anoth- er inhis arms with delight at having escaped the vortex._ Yonder a man stood leaning against the wall, with almost & ghastly glare in his eyo and the pallor of desth in hisface. His failure had just been announced. At'2 p. m. things were spoken of as better, and 80 they continued until the Board closed. During the early tumult on the floor several elegantly-dressed ladies looked on from the visitors' galleries. Did they recognize in those contorted faces, in those convulsed and storm’ forms below them, the gallant, emooth-faced, Boft-voiced gentlemen of- the dfavwing-room, or the amiable, unruffled, gently-spoken man who kissed them good-by in the morning and called them danghter? Whether they did or not, they gazed down with absorbing interest, and when the gallery was jammed some of them tried to Bcale the windows of the passage and steal a glimpse thst wey. 5 ‘When the Board closed, men who had eaten nothing that day went off toget asnack and take s drink. Bat the majority hastened to their offices to scrutinize their nates and calca- 1ate the results of the day. —_—— Visitors to the Yosemite Valley—New Facilitics for Travellers, Artists, and Photographers. B From the San Francisco Alta, Nov. 4. Yosemite ia one of the resources of our Slope. The number of visitors in 1872 will not be_less than 2,300, and a gentleman, who has a good op- portunity to observe the tourists, says that 2,000 of them reside outside of California; that most of these outsiders are brought to the State by the deeire of seeing Yosemite and the Big Trees, and that they spend in this State 3400 each, on on an average. As the pilgrimage to this valley i8 in its beginning, we may make Iarge deductions from these estimates, and yet find that the valley is great in its yalue as'well as svlendid in its scenery. The visitors numbered g,lig aisn 1871, 1,735 in 1870, 1,122 in 1869, and 552 in 1868. Several noteworthy improvements, to facilitate travel and accommodate tourists, have been made in the courss of the year. A horse trsil has been finished up Indian Canon, & ihir of & mile east of the Yosemite Fall, lezding from the valley to Eaglo Point, 4,200 feet Bbove, whence a magnificent View of ‘the higher parts of the Sierra can be Some dfjmt’m e entered the valloy that way, tho G188 KoM ‘Tamarack Flat being seventeen miles to the Yo- semite House. The trail up the back of Sintine} Rock to Glacier Point is wide and easyin its o, 50 that now there are six trails jesding into the valley from the surrounding heights; one at each side of the river at the westem cne; one at the middle of the valley on each side; one near the Nevada Fall, and one by way of Tegaya Lake, the two Iast at the eastern ernd of the valloy. Last spring, s wagon road four miles long, from the lower end to the middle of the valley was opened, and a stage was runto accommodsto those unaccustomed to horseback. Hutchings has flnished s new house, and Blackis making an addition 0 his, 5o thst next year 100 visitors can be accommodated at once. The trail to the foot of the Nevada Fall is to be improved before spring opens; tha trail from the foot of the fall to Glacier Point hag been much injnred by storms, and needs res pairs. A sarvey has been made for a wagon Toad, four miles long, down tne side of the mountain, 2t the western end of the vallay, on the north side, and the utmost cost of construc- tion is estimated at $12,000. The ecenery is not without its attractions in winter. Bierstadt went in before the snow hed disappenred 1ast epring; Keith is now there studying the atmosphere and foliege of ar- tumn; and when artists so skilfol in the dispc sition of effect and color are not contented wi- one visit to such a plece, but goagein and again, better pleased with every trip, thers must be ex. traordinary natural beanties. Irwin and Ross zre now in 1he valley, also sketching. Notwith- standing the multitude of photographsthat have been taken in previous seasons, aman employad by Mr. Houseworth hes been at work there for months. Mr. Muybndge is now there, and Mr. Watking will start in a few days; and s multi- tuds of views, finely executed, from points well selected, will be the result. CIVIL MARRIAGE AT ROME. The New Law in Operation in Ftaly— Wedding of a Torlonia and o Bors ghese. Rome (Oct. 24) Correspondence of the London Times The Civil Marriage law has been so recentiy introduced into Rome that, on the occasion of 80 important a wedding as_that between Donna Anna Maria Torlonia and Don Glulio Borghese, I cannot do better than commence my letter by quoting a portion of the praces verbal: * In the year 1872, and the 23d day of Octoi in the Palace of the Oonservatori, on Campedoglio, and in & room open the = public, before me, Piotro Vent advocsts, Cavaliero of = the Crosn Italy and Pro-Syndic of Rome, zppeared Don Glalio, of the Princes Borgh 8ged 25 years, bachelor, born and domiciled Home, son of His Excellency tho Prince Do Marc Antonio, and of Her Excellenoy the Prin ca:3 Donng Teresa de ls Rochefoucauld, resident in Rome, &c.; and Donna Anna Maria, Princess Torlonia, aged 17, spinster, born and domiciled in Rome, danghter of his Excellency the Princa Don Alessandro, and of Hor Excellency the Princess Donna Teresa Colonna Doriz, also resi- dent in Rome; which persons having declared before me that it is their intention to proceed to the celebration of their marriago, of which the proces erbal, dated the 5th of October of the ‘present year, No. 1,269, has been published in this Commane during the days from the 6th to the 18th of said month, as shown by the cer« tificate, and to which no opposition has been no= tified, 1 ronounce, in the name of the law, that Don Glulio, of the Princes Borghesa, and Donna Anna Maris, Princess Torlonis, are united in motrimony.” F Buch are are the words of the registratin ¢ the civil marriage performed yesterday b{geen the eldest—alas, one msy almost 68y L, gnly— dsughter and heiress of Prince Torl yia and the third son of Prince Borghese by I g second wife, Donna Teresa de la Rochoforaud. It will ' be remembered that Prince Borghese’s first wifo was Lady Grrendoline Talt,; " aughter of the late Earl of Bhrewsbury ing gister of Lady Mary Talbot, who married Eryop Doria Pamphill. - The, register farther states inat Don Glulio Borghese undertakes, with the coasent of bis father and of Prince Torloniz, to assume the surmamo and arms of the hodse of Torlonis without in any way adding or uniting to it any Bther name whatsoever; that during the life- time of the Prince Don Alessacdro Torlonis he shall assume the title of Duke of Ceri, and afier the death of the Prince that of Prince Torlonia. ‘The bride takes her husband an immediate mar= Tiago portion of 5,375,000 francs, and the succes Bion to one .of the most colossal heritages in Europe, nine-tenths of which is in lznded prop- erty of rapidly rising value. Had this marrisge been made two ycars or 50 2g0, it would have been celebrated with great festivities, in which all Rome would cordially have Joined ; for, politicel opinions apart, both these princely houser are well ‘beloved by tha people for the munificence of their charities and the public spirit they have always shown. De- voted adherents, however, to the Pope, avery« thing has been done in the most private manner. For the civil marriage yesterday the party drove up to the Capitol in three plain closed carriages with, one might almost ey, lees than the usual show of state. At the Palace of the Conservatori such gl;npmfions had been made ag, while upholding the rc;x;]Tity of the.

The Pro-Syndic_attended in on to periorm the gervice, and, together with other members of the C_o\mcii present, wore full evening costume, the dress in which the bridegroom and the gentle~ men who accompanied him also appeared. A carpet was'Iaid down on the entrance halls through which the bridal party had to pass, and before the Syndic's table two gilt arm-chairs were placed for the bride and. bridegroom, two on his right hand for the Princes Borghess and Terlonia, and three on his left for the witnesses, Prince_Barberim, Don Paolo Borghese, Duke of Sulmono, and the Marquis QGerini, of Florence. The bride, who is a littlounder the averaga height, is a brunette, with an abundance of rich black hair. She has no claims fo thst remarka- ble beauty and loveliness combined for which her mother was 80 much distinguished, but hza a most interesting face, m&;lste with vivacity and expression.
