At the far famed Cafe dela Rigence—the “Holy of Holies’* of Cais sa—the Prussian, Herr Harrwita, has for some years past reigned in undisputed sway. No European player is, per- haps, in such admirable condition as this athlee, playing daily’ from noon to midnight, with all comers. The few who rank with him in the chess arena have other occupations | which divide their attention, Heyderbrandt Von der Lasa plays but comparatively little, his time being devoted to diplomacy; Anderssen’s professorship of matuematics imprisons him in the Breslaw Gymnasium; Lowenthal has varied editorial duties; inet the same, Staunton knowing suflicient of chess to fe accurately Le proportion be- tween himself and orn be Buckle has retired, as also the Russian Petroff. Much interest, therefore, was ox- | cited throughout Europe when it became known that your countryman and Harrwitz were about to enter the lists; for the latter has the reputation of being the toughest a1 imost determined match player in the Old World. Witness his contest with Lowenthal in 1853, when the score stood L.9,H. 2. Yet the Prussian won his eleven games and the match against this overwhelming proportion. Your correspondent, during the voyage (if it may be so called), from Dover to Calais;heard Mr. Morphy say, “I shall beat Harrwitz in the same proportion as I have beaten Lowen- thal” (9 to 8); and if such a result has not been brought ¢ the Prussian has kept in mind He that fights and rans away, feoge irom the Orleans Chess Club, and with Mr. B.'s re Bly ip the Illustrated Londow Ne Ar.

This reminds me of the famous Leonardo de Cutri, surnamed “Il Puttino,’’ (on ac- count of bis youth and small stature) who visited the court of Philip II. of Spain for the purpose of engaging ina match at chess with the celebrated Ruy Lopez. The con- test came off before the Court, and Ruy Lopez—the same as Horrwitz—won the first two games. Il Puttino then turned towards the King, and said, “T have purposely Jost the first two games; ne will prove the superiority of my play, and show the goart the majesty of chess.” And he went in and did it. And so, too, did’ Morphy, for jartwitz never had the slightest shadow of a chance after the first two games, and forthwith began demanding post- ponements. When'the score stood Morphy 5, Harrwitz 2, drawn 1, the Prussian resigned the match; and if we cannot admire his courage, we must at all events respect Lis pradence. With a generosity which excited the ad miration of all Paris, Paul Morphy declined receiving the stakes, understanding that it was entirely without the knowledge and consent of lis backers, that Harrwitz had given in his resignation of the contest. There is but one opionion in France in regard to Morphy’s skill. The old friends and associates of Labour dornnais put your countryman on au entire equality with that most celébrated of all adepts, and give their opinion that Morphy possesses even greater genius than he for the game, They say that Labourdonnais only arrived at his force wheu nearly double the age of the youthful Lousianian, and thai the latter's game is similar in almost every particular, whilst his memory is much greater, St. Arnaut, the accomplished editor of the Pala- méde, bas just written an article on the subject, which I have taken the liberty to forward you. In it he says:— “Tt is no use playing single handed against Paul Morphy; the only safety is in two or more players consulting against him.” Rone fe geome nirscy granted to Harrwitz, Marphy repeated bis wonderful feat of playing simultaneously cigbt blindfolded games He made it a tine qua non that the seéance should be pyblic, and in consequence upwards of 1,500 persons vifited the café during the day. Among them were seen the most eminent characters in science, literature, the arts and social position of the French capi- tal; and when, after a sitting of ten hours, Morph; out unfatigued, fresh as ever, and unconquered, whilst six of his antagonists had resigned themselves to fate, the ap- plause was tremendous.

COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER. Before Hon. Judge Mullin. Nov. 15.—In the Matter of the People vs. Fernando Wood and sixty-one others.—The court room was densely crowded this mori. and the greatest anxiety manifested for t decision of the Judge on the motion to quash the indic ment in these cases. The Judge said he was not prepared with a written de. cision in the matter. He had examined the case, and in regard to the general motion to quash the whole of the in- dictment that must be denied. In saying this, how- ever, he must add, he was satisfied that the second count was undoubtedly bad and could not be sustained, as the defendants had the power to grant a lease, but not longer than ten years. With regard to the first count, which charges the defen. dants with conspiracy, there were serious d ‘doubts that it could be sustained; it’ may possibly be good, though the American authorities were against it, Yet it would not be proper for the Court to quash the* indictment solely on that ground, He would notify the District Attorney that he could not prove the conspiracy by the vote, and that he must prove it outside the vote. ‘The prosecution and the parties must, therefore, proceed to trial with these views of the Court. Mr. Dean asked the District Attorney if he was ready to try Mr. Wood. Mr. Blankman desired to know if the District Attorney * was ready to try Mr. Steers, who is now a Police Justice. The District Attorney could not tell until he had con- sulted his associate, Mr. J. R. Whiting. Mr. Blankman considered it very extraordinary that the District Attorney could not move without the advice of private counsel.
