The increasing value of landed property in Ireland may be judged from the fact that several extensive lots were sold in the Landed Estates’ Court, Dublin, at twenty-four years purchase of the rental returns. it has been usual when the Lord Lieutenant of Ire- land is absent from the country to associate the Pro- testant Archbishop of Dublin with the Lords Justices for the purpose of administering the execuave in his Excellency’s absence.

Monsigacr Capel writes to the London Times, say- ing the report of Lord Bute’s return to the Anglican Communion “has not the smallest foundation.” The statement originally appeared in a French paper, but the Marquis deemed it “unworthy of formal contradiction.” Monsignor Capel adds, “that Lord Bute was never a member of the Established Church of England."’ Amati telegram from London, dated June 15, re- ports:— So far from seceding from the Catholic Church the Marquis of Bute has started for Seviile in order that on the festival of Corpus Christi he may be present at the service which the Catholic Church in Spain celebrates with such splendor and pageantry.

The obituary list of the London Times of one day contains some remarkabie illustrations of prolonged existence in five ladies and three gentlemen, all of whom had reached four score years and upwards, their united ages amounting to 680 years, giving an average of exactly eighty-flve years to each. The eldest gentieman had reached the great age of eighty-nine years, the two others of the same sex being eighty-six. Of the opposite sex the eldest was eighty-eight and the youngest eighty years of age, A mail telegram from Pesth says that a trial which Will be one of the most gigantic on record is about to take place in Hungary.

FRANCE. ‘An American Sensation in Paris—Ungailant Remarks on American Ladiee—Transatiantic Beauties Excited=The Empress’ Encour. agement of Blooming Youth—What’s to Be Done t—Outshine the Native Critics=Elegant Fetes. Parts, June 15, 1870, We have had quite a commotion in the feminine portion of our American colony in Paris, occasioned by some very spiteful remarks in one of the leading journals in Paris—Za Liberté. Itis hardly fair to hold she proprietor aud chief editor of that paper— NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1870.-TRIPLE SHEET. Emile de Girardin—responsible for this uncatied for diatribe, for it appeared in the usual weekly con- ‘tribution of a writer attached to the staff, who uses the nom de plume of “Vicomte de Létoriére,” and who is known to be a iiterary lady. What led to this splenetic attack on the young, unmarried ladies of Columbia it is hard to divine; but a personal motive ‘of some sort 18, doubtless, at the bottom of it, Per- haps the writer in question has seen her best days, and is fretted at the radiant and undisputed beauty of America’s fair aaughters; or it may be that this Gallic spinster has been overlooked tm some of the late fetes at the palace, where several of our jovely belles Wote the “observed of all observers.” Be that as itmay, the assault is 8o til-natured and even bitter, that It has naturally attracted a good deal of attention in the American world, Betore commenting on tt further, perhaps I had better copy it in extenso. Here it is:—“They are so charming, our young French giris, Educated by tasteful mothers, they learn nothing of life but vir- tue; too limpid to be troubled, too white to be tar- nished, ignorant of danger and preserved by their very chastity, they float through the world like doves in a tempestuous sky, the lightning not touch- ing their wings. Whata contrast they present, in their virginal purity, to the confused medley one meets of American girls; dressed like horses on parade, nothing being wanting, neither the mane hor the croupiére, What need is there to invite these daughters of the Disunited States everywhere, of whom there are some who habitually occupy the boxes on the third row at the opera, behind the drop scene, where they cultivate their minds and their hearts by listening to the soft conference be- tween ballet dancers and /es petit crévést In thelr democratic day these daughters of the Yankees tread with plebeian feet the royal stairs of the Tuile- ries, while noble descendants of high barons and ancient knights are forced to hide in some ruined manor their disdained nobility.’” There 13 an effusion in which malice and anger struggle for the mastery. I would stake a trifle that the writer of the above is just one of those ignored descendants of some “ancient knight,” whose ‘dis- dained nobility,’ lacking the means to support 1t, hag not been recognized at the Tulleries as an ac- ceptable substitute for those plebeian beauties that come teeming over every year from the United States, and whose claims to royai hospitality are graciously recognized by the imperial couple who occupy tt, There is no denying the fact that our American girls—I mean those whose beauty, intelli- gence and grace raise them above the throng—are very marked favorites at court, They are not only invited to all the festivities in Paris, but are annually summoned to the gayeties at Compiégne, where they pass two or three days amid the splendors of that truly royal residence. I fancy the solution of this is to be found in the exceeding predilection of the Empress for every beautiful girl she meets, and, with that acute tact she inher- its from that accomplished woman of the world, her mother, she knows that nothing contri- butes more to the real attraction of a salon, whether royal or otherwise, than the halo of youth and beauty. The Empress, therefore, never allows a pretty girl to pass her unnoticed, and it matters lite Ue whether it comes from east or west, or whether it represents an ancient pedigree or the new made family of yesterday. Here is a proof of it, Iwas standing near an American friend of mine at one of the recent balls at the Tuileries, when the Empress, passing by, said to the gentieman im question, “I don’t see your niece here to-night,” He explained to her Majesty that a momentary indisposition had tost her the honor of being present. ‘+I am sorry to hear it,” re- phea the Empress, “for 1 don’t like one of my pretty faces to be absent at a ball.” What would the irate seribe of the Liberté have thought and felt if she, like me, had overheard this frank admission of imperiat partiality for “pretty faces?" Another anecdote, indicating the same well known trait, was related to me as having occurred at one of the last entertainments at the palace. The Em- press was contempluting with singular interest a very lovely girl, often admired at Newport, Miss I—a, and the Ambassador of — was standing by her, + “Methinks,” at length said her Majesty, “shat I used to resemble that charining girl.” “Ye: your Majesty, responded Seflor O—-, quite for- getting himself, “when you were young.” “Of course,” added the Empress, laughing, “when I Was young, und that wasalong time ago.” The Ambassaclor was decidedly confused at this ‘palpa- ble lut,’”? and reddened to the temples. He had known the Empress all her life, but it would have been more gallant if he had not reminded her of the days when she was young, but hardly more beautiiul. To return to the censorious critic of the Liberté. 1 am ready to admit tnere is a difference very marked in general between the bearing, and often in the dressing, of French and American girls. It is the well known usage in France for all unmarried girls to be reserved in manner and very modest in attire, never wearing jewelry or gaudy colors. A French girl, after her entrée 1m society, still preserves a cer- tain coyness, a restraint in wone and speech, that ts becoming enough, but oltew rather tiresome. Once married, her dress, manner and conversation all change, and these are the privileges of her new con- dition. American girls, however, undergo no such stuf training as this. ‘They are in the habit of giving free expression to their feelings and opinions, sub- ject ‘only to the restraints of good breeding, and consequently they have in point of vivacity a great advantage over their French rivals, and the fact that they are (oreigwers renders this superior anima- tion unobjectionabie in the eyes of the men, though doubtiess they would constder it strange in a French girl. I sayin the eyes of the men, for I perceive clearly that gentlemen, French or otherwise, would for tue most part rather dance or chat with an American girl than with a French one, however like a “dove on a tempestuous sky,” sim- ply because they are more entertained by the un- tatored naiveté of a sprightly girl, who talks and acts with the impulsive freedom our American man+ ners allow. The French women, both married and single, however, are displeased, I nave reason to know, at what they call the singular daissez aller of our American giris. It is evident they consider themselves encroached upon by these “daughters of the Yankees,’, whose attractions of one sort or ar- other are not oniy receiving too much notice at court, but, worse still, are demoralizing the French liants, whose assiduities they once monopolt: t ig evident there is a deal of volcanic material cumulating in the French female world of Paris agatfist our plebeian beauties, as may be seen from their violent explosiofi in the Liberté; and who can predict what may happen in the future, if the nui- sance is not ki some Way abated ¥ Can the HERALD make some ingentous suggestion that willtend in some degree to calm the wounded sensibilities of that disdamed class the avenger in the Liverté represents, and to prevent some dire cat- astrophe that migit possibly ensue? How do we know but that, sooner or later, some grand banquet may not be got up, when all the picked loveliness of the United States may be assembled only to be swept away at one fell biow by poisoned ices in the Borgia style? Really it is time to look after this mat- ter. Lask again, can the HERALD suggest nothing? I appeal to its well-known sympathies for the fair seX of all tongues and on every side of the water. Ihave run through my letter without touching any other than this dainty and captivating topic. I must reserve for next mail a lot of interest- ing items, yet I have just space to men- tion that the popular Minister and his amiable wife dined at the Tuilerics a few days since, and, what is considered here a high compliment, the Emperor led Mrs. Washburne to dinner. When the scribe of the Liberte hears of this great be the indignation thereat; but, luckily, Mrs. Washburne is a married woman, and they are allotted here far more perqut sites than is vouchsafed to the “doves” aforesuld. Mr. Washburne gave a very elegant entertainment a few days since to a large number of his coungry- men resident here and en voyage, Everybody went away greatly tones by the richness of the feast and the gental urbanity of their host. A grand din- ner was also given the other day to the new Minister to the United States, M. Prévost-Paradol, by Mr. T. Balch, Where the American Legation and a number of distinguished celebrities, including some ot the Cabinet finisters, ‘were present, The Drought—Fire in the Forest of Fontaine- bleau—“ Red Tape” Rules and Their Viola- tion. PARIS, June 16, 1870. We are getting into a peculiarly perplexing pre- dicament, Rain does not fall, we are all as dry as chips, it is thirsty weather, water is scarce and tly price of bread is augmenting. The forest of Fontainebleau found tt too hot, some days since, and burst into flames, 1t is supposed spontaneously, altuough it 1s asserted by some to have been the act of an incendiary. The son of a barrister was returning through the forest on foot, when his attention was attracted by flames on the plateau above Apremont. He proceeded immedi- ately to Barbizon, in search of Monsicur le Maire, at whose door he hammered in vain, that function- ary being absent. The adjoint was next applied to, and the request made that the tocsin should be sounded. Monsieur l'Adjoint was a man of red tape, and wanted a precedent for sounding the tocsin in a similar case, He searched, found none, and declared he could only order the drums to beat. “Well, then, rattle away.” “But,’’ remon- strated the Assistant Mayor, “‘here are the drums only, and I must send for a drummer, which will take a quarter of an hour.’’ This was too much for ‘the excited son of @ barrister, who seized a drum @nd visited various parts of the town, rattling away @8 he did so in @ manner that would have made Patti, in “Lucia,” or Celine Montaland, in the “Cosaques,” jealous, This unusual flagellation of the sheepskin soon collected = amalj troop of the inhabitants, and among others a number of the colony of artista who inhabit the place. Brush, melistick and pallet were cast aside, ana the dis- ciples of the art of painting hurried up if possible to save their favorite trees, Forest guards, gendarmes and troops arrived, and at last the flames Were mastered when neariy seventy acres had beon devastated, The pine trees, burned from stem to summit, still remain erect, Sight-seers have @ new sensation; they flock in crowds to visit the blackened rocks and tee tranks—the only re- inaiuing vestiges of the late fre.

All have heard Therésa sing the celebrated Femme @ Rarbe, The original femme a barbe—large, fat and forty—was wont to exhibit her ugliness at the various /éles around Paris, and is supposed to have served as a model for the star of the Oaié Chantant. Jn consequence of domestic troubles the nirsute Eve tried to drown herself near the Pont du Change. Medteal examination proved her to be insane, and she has been consigned to @ lunatic asylum. The- résa, who has airenay mace 120,000 francs by doing 80, is stilt singing in the Chatte Blanche; but, thank Renee, I have not heard her for many months, ‘ne Gaité theatre, notwithstanding the heat, where she nightly is applauded by her admirers, whose name is legion, is not very far distant from one bear- ing the name of an actress who, having been from the commencement of this century a public favorite, now has sought repose in retirement. Born on the goth or August, 1798, Virginie Déjazet made her first appearance before the public in 1802, since which she hasbeen constantly before it. Thirty-tive years since her talent was described by Brazter in the following terms:—“Virginie Déjazet, the most daring actress that 1 know, recolling before nothing, frightened at nothing, uttering slang with perfect tact. Virginie iaughs with the public as with a friend, with an air of saying, ‘I am about to give you something ver; bad, but don’t be afraid, it is I. 1 am @ good fei- low.’ Virginie understands everything about tne theatre, malice, nature, grace, jollity, aud if she does not make you cry it 1s that she will not, ou quelie le veut vien.” ‘A greater compliment to an ao- tress could hardly be paid, BANKING AND BANKERS. Three self-styled bankers, Whose united ages would not reach the threescore years and ten spoken of in Holy Writ, are at present absent from Paris. They are accompanied by 800,000 francs, which, if every- body had their own, would be quietly reposing in tie pockets ol the waiters at restaurants, attendants at baths, servants and others, who were taken in by a smail financial steet, published weekly, with the es- cial object of making victhns, Bvery person in aris likes speculation. My bonne has shares in this and the otner financial scheme. She 1s learned in obligations of the Ville de Paris and government loans, The absence of the young bankers alluded to above ts deplored by hundreds of small capitalizts, Ithough ~ actin in concert they had establishments in different juarters of Paris, the Crédit Financier, the Caisse ies Petits Capitalists and the Catsse des Rentiers, In the safe was found, after their departure for Bel- gium, twenty-six irancs, bearing the Pope's efigy, Which, as 1 before told you, diminishes their value considefably. CRIME. Suicide is still onthe increase. Heat of the wea- ther 1s sald to have something to ao with it, and yet Tshoula imagine that but few inhabitants of this capital can hope to find cooler quarters in the next world, Four of us attempted and three succeeded in one day in anticipating parinens of the debt to which humanity heir, One, a geo; phical engineer, took a header from the Pont de |’Aima, and a policeman took a header after him, as did also an inhabitant of the neighborhood. He was brought out alive, al- though before throwing himself Into the water he had tried to strangle iumself with a rope tightly ted around his throat, and had swallowed the contents of a vial full of ammonia. It is evident he was not born to ale by suicide. At the Pont de l’Alma a man attempted to drown himself, while at the Pont de la Concorde another, anxiously watched by @ gaping crowd, was walku about quietly at the botiom of the river, atring himseif with a pipe of gutta percha tube, the oritice of which was sup. ported on the surface of the water by two pieces of wood. The shoes of this submarine flaneur had soles armed with perpendicular points, which enabled their wearer to walk easily against the current, gosstr. In Paris if a person drops a sou in the gutter every- hody stops, everybody ei Ze8 untently, without kKnow- ing at what, and everybody chatters, without know- ing what they are talking about. 4 policeman ar- rives, utters the magic circulez, messieurs, circulez! and the crowd disperses, no one knowing anything, but every one inventing some story to retail and be improved on by the first person to whom the great event is imparted. Paris 1s a gossiping, lounging place. How people get through any business at all isamystery. The time lost in trying to find people at their offices or residences is amazing, From eleven till one you can find no one; or rather, the two best hours in the day are wasted cafes with breakfasting and the deme tasse, followed by the small ae of cognac and cigars. Until imitiated in Parisian customs I became as thin as a fiddle string in my endeavors to find people. Ifound, however, that ii is as hope- less to attempt to catch a Parisian between those hours as it is to fish for trout under a bright sun, when the fish are taking their midday nap and would not “rise? at ihe datntiest living fly on the Wing, much less at an artificial. IRREVERENT. It is difficult for the French to be serious; they are lively by nature. The Paris gavroche ts celebrated for witty sallies, even in reference to the most serious subjects, I heard one yesterday afternoon, at the corner of the rue de Lafayette, where your corre- spondent, among others, had been brought to a standstill by a passing funeral. Followed by a con- siderable number of letter carriers im uniform, the interment was evidently that of a postman. A gavroche im a blouse at my elbow took his cap off like everybody else as the hearse went by; but he could not resist causing an indecorous ttter in the crowd by alluding to the defunct in an audible voice lo one of his pais, “Dis done, augus!”—is he pre- paid and stamped for foreign post, or does he go tree? IRELAND. Execution of the Law=The Special Com- mission in Meath—Causes of the Extras Judicial Assembinge—Municipal Excitee memt—The Prisoners, Their Appearance, Trials and the Result—Sentences—The Scene in Court. Trim, June 15, 1870. The Special Judicial Commission for the county Meath, which has, for some time past, been the sub- ject of much controversy and speculation, concluded its labors in this town on the 9th instant. Though the criminal calend&r was a long She, only two of the prisoners, strange to say, were put on their trial; but, a3 these were convicted, the Crown was, I sup- pose, so well satisfied with its victory that it did not wish to proceed further, and adjourned the other trials till the next assizes, CAUSES. As the commission is over, I wish to make a few ob- servations upon it and upon the state of things which occasioned it. There are few, I think, who will deny that, for the last six or eight months, the social con- dition of the counties of Meath and Westmeath has been such as required the interposition of the law. Whoever reads the letters have already written from this county will, I doubt not, be led to form a similar opinion. Several murders have been com- mitted in the county, but none of the eriminais have been made amenable to the law. Numerous other offences of @ less serious nature have also taken place, and, in the majority of tnatances, it 1s to be re- gretted the offelicers have not been brought to Justice. So many criminals have escaped that Mr. Glad- stone and his colleagues were accused, and, indeed, with some semblance of justice, by their political opponents, of the greatest neglect with regard to the state of Ireland. Night after night in the House of Commons they were persistently taunted with fomenting disturbances of a religious as well as of & social nature in Ireland, with encouraging the assagsination of the landlords, with doing all maén- ner of wicked and foolish’ things; but, I may re- mark, that the only ground tue tory “squireens’’ had for these accusations was that the government did not adopt any extraordinary measures to pre- vent these crimes, The object of the tortes was two-fold. They wanted these outrages to be re- arded as the result of Mr. Gladstone's policy, and they, were resoived on forcing him to adopt coercive measures that would bring his govern- ment into disfavor with the Irish. Unfortu- in the latter instance they were but t successful. _— (an of hese outrages, 3 sang a@ pean Over every one that took place. ‘They dtl more'than this. They encouraged them in every way they could. They were ready to join with the Fenians, with the Orangemen, with any and every haces in fact, to hel +4 on and encot those out! which they so 1oudly deplored in the House of Commons. ‘The ig of these tories and the actual state of the country forced Mr. Gladstone at last to introduce the Coercion bill, and, strange to say, with the exception of Six John Gray and Bis tow fal, lowerg, from none did he receive auch opposition aa from the tory mempers, COERCION, The Coercion bill was passed, and while it placed the entire population of Ireland under some restric- tions It completely suspended the liberties of the people of Meath, Westmeath and Mayo, Notwith- Standing its severihy and the oxtenngginny powers with which it invested the magistracy and the police crime still continued tn Meath. The special commission, which 1s just now closed, was iasued by tne Lord Lieutenant for the pur of dealing out the severest PUnsanin ans, to such per- 80nS a8 Would be found guilty of crimes of a politi. cal or soctal nature, and, by making an example of them, deter otuers from following tb thelr footsteps. ON TRIAL, Thave no fault to fing with the opject of the com- mission; I believe that ctroumstances Justified it and that it was absolutely necessary; but Ido not see why all the prisoners were not put pen thelr Hab or why the Crown was satisfied bt e conviction of two, It isan extraordinary fact thal sete only two prisoners were tried, the county Meath, for being purged of these two criminals, will be put to the enormous expense of £4,000 sterling, and all this for a trial of about ten hours. Te presiding dudges, Chief Justice Monaghan and Mr. Justice Fitzgerald, ave, it 13 gaid, to recelve £1,000 aterlini between them. During the trial Judge Fitagerald never opened his mouth, and the Ontef Justice ae- livered two charges, which were remarkable for no- ‘thing but their bad English, The Attorney and the Solicitor General will also come in for their share of the cash, and the prisoners’ counsel, who, though ote om by the Crown, will also be paid by the peo- ple ol Meath for their strenuous exertions in be! of Mr. Radclifte’s would-be murderers, When government went to the trouble of raisi such @ “fuss”? and of incurring such expense, 1 should have arraigned all the prisoners or have bad ‘no commission af all. INDIOTMENTS. The trial of Edward Gearty and John Brady, for the attempted murder of Mr, Radoliffe, J. P., was looked forward to for several months past by the entire population of this county, indeed I might say of Ireland, with the utmost interest. It was the most serious offence of a political or social mature with which any person in the county stood charged; and althougn it was not very remarkable tn itself, till it had @ public signifloance which the peopie as well as the government were not slow to recognize. Men of all classes flocked into Trim to be present at the trial, The town was so crowded that it was next to impossible to get.a bed. ‘The law olticers of the Crown to sleep in bedrooms in which I heard they could not stand upright. At the two hotels, which were very far from beln; comfortable, a stranger would be accommodate: with @ bed for a guinea a night, The jury were sent to a hotei, and were so badly provided for that the Chief Justice felt it to be his duty to fine the Sub- Sheriff twenty pounds sterling. The HERALD's spectal correspondent, who came back here the eventng before the trial, was obliged to repose on a Sofa in an apartment occupied by three overs, and for this luxury paid half a guinea. STRERT AND COURT SCENES. Every one was up early next morning. Tho Judges arrived from Dublin by the ten o'clock trai and took their seats on the bench an hour afterwards, The streets and lanes were crowded, but compara- eer few were able to obtain admission to the court, EDWARD GEARTY, the chief, or rather I should say the only, criminal, 1s a man of about forty years of age and has tremely forbidding cast of countenance. Small man, rather below the middle size, of dark compiexton, heavy eyebrows, wicked looking eyes. He wears a black whisker and mousimue, A worse countenance, I think, I have never seen, His character, if report can be re- Med on, is quite as bad as his appearance. He enjoys a very unenviable reputation in Kells, of which place he is a native. For years he was mixed up with all the secrét societles of the town and neighborhood, and was the leader of the ribbonmen. In 1859, wien the Phoenix boys were being arrested in different parts of Ireland, Gearty found it neces- sary to go to rere returned to Kells a year or two alterwards, when the danger was over. AS far as [am able to understand, the inhabitants of that town neither regret his absence nor his fate, JOHN BRADY. The other prisoner, Juhn Brady, is a boy of about twenty years of age, and had the misfortune of fall- ing into bad company a few years ago. He has quite @ boyish look, and there is nothing Yicious about mis appearance. TESTIMONY. The trial of these two men, though short, will not, I think, be forgotten in haste in the county Meath. Brady, @ short tme after his arrest, made a volun+ tar) statement to the resident magistrate of Trim, which was produced in evidence against him at the trial, and created a sensation such as, I believe, was seldom felt in a court of justice. They knew that their intended victim, Mr, Radcliffe, was in town, and they armed themselves and went to meet him at a lonely part of his road home. Brady was to hold the bridie Imes while Gearty was to fire the shot, and, if neces- gary, to cut Mr. Radcliffe’s throat, for which pur- pose he brought with him a butcher's knife. As Was agreed upon between them Brady seized the bridle and Gearty discharged the contents of a large pistol at his intended victim, which, providentially* missed his head and took effect in his hat. Brady was so frightened that he let go the bridie and thus even his accompiice from despatchiug Mr- dcliffe with his knife.

Patti Out of To The nusical eaitor ot Le Gaulots, of Paria, aives the foliowing account of a difference between Mme.

Believing that she had misunder- stood arrangement, he sald, in a low voice, “Leave the stage,” which Mme. Pattt at once did in great tolignation, and immediately protested to Mr, Gye thai she would never again Bing with a tenor who could speak to her with such lence, An explanajon iollowed, which was simply that Signor Tagliatic) had omitted, to inform Mme.

DISRAELI’S CRITICS. Lothait Under the Scalpel, The Gidsgow Heraid’s London correspondent writing upon the above subject says:— ‘The slashing critictsm of Mr. Disraeli’s book con- tained in this month's Blackwood” has been writ- ten by Mr, Lawrence Oliphant, author of the recent “Piccadilly Sketches,” and a well-known contributor tothe try magezine, Ms. Olipbamt whe known to fame by the record nection with Lord Bigin's aaisuien China, entered Parliament as the Foprespntative of the Saning hat been elected at the general wi immediately preceding Lord Pal- merston’s death. A sudden wl artly occasioned perhaps by il-heaith, aud’ ulm khorty after enter. ng Parliament to resign his seat, and he departed for America, where he was next heard of as one of the founders of a new sect, whose pect seems to have been a combinatk farming. Here he was for some tine ent high clase which once am influcnttal member, an AY heard le i. rena merely MA ee fact ol acen- dental solitude, somewltne akin to that ‘described in Hawthorne’s “Blythesdale Romauce,” He was, a fact, beginning to be forgotten England, 1, foe commencement of the present year, his “Piccadil- poe ppeared, and brought him more promli- ait the public, They were very bitter and slashing in their tone, and, as they satirized the more glaring of our social evils, in the cynical vein of a man who, haying probed their depths and found them vanity, ‘haa retired into the wilderness, where he could rail at them with authority, the book be- came the town’s talk, and was extremely popular at the fashionable Mbraries, One ofthe strangest fea- tures in connection with this publication, however, remains to be recorded. Having written, ag 1t were, from the heart of his solitude, in the most caustic and condemnatory terms, of modern fashionable #0- ciety, Mr. Oltphant left America and came over to London to hear what that society which he had #0 strongly ridiculed had to say about his book, He has n haunting the clubs for some time since, and “Lothair” having been op the world while he was idling, oppor- tuntty of ee fat his grudge, ancient and otherwise, upon Mr. Diaraeli, and writing a review which, at all events, has created a sensation. (From the London Standard, June 15.] Some of our readers may recollect that from the io (a Peelite fl) aercnaned ibe fee ae ntole, apparently for mrpose of writing Mr. Disraeli down, there were publis ed in that paper, year after year, invectives against that gentieman which far canto all the limits of political dis- cussion, No one knew at the time who wrote them; they wero ascribed at the time to various indi- viduals; but at last it came out the slashing writer was Goidwin Smith, then @ man comparatively un- known outside the walls of Balliol. Surely the Ox- ford professor must have UBS cert in his irritation at the “venomless story” of “Lothatr” for how many years he libelled Mr. Disraeli with unpuulty and auonymously. Whence the Tittle? “A. H. B.,”” wring to the London News, says:— Why Mr, Disraeli pitched on the name of Lothair for the hero of his last novel has puzzled more than one of your contemporaries. I think even Mr. Gold- win Smith might, ifhe knew the source of Mr. Dis- rael’s inspiration, admit that of acertain sort of cowardice he 18 not guilty, Onturning to Punch for 1844, vol. 8, p. 16, I ind’ among the characters in Punch’s Pantomime one described thus:—‘ Lothair | pe called Young England, afterwards Har- equin), Mr. D’israeli.”’ The significance of the to, “Nosse omnia ho salus est adolescentults,” 1s also explained by this reference. Like M. Regnier, Mv. Disraeli, in retiring from a profession in which he has been go eminent, considerately wished to give the benefit of his experience to that rena England with whick he was once himself identified. GERMANY. Russian Imperial Honor to Bismarck—The | Czar at Ems. The Memotre Dipiomatique of Paris states that when Count Bismarck, who accompanied his sovereign the King of Prussia to Ems, took the hand of the Czar, and was lifting it to his lips, the Em- peror Alexander anticipated the action by saluting the Prussian statesman on the cleek. From this gracious salutation it is inferred that Count Bismarck 18 tn great favor with the Czar. The Mémortal adds that “tn diplomatic circles it is still believed, not- withstanding the denial of the semi-official journals, that in the interview between the two sovereigns plans have been agreed to in furtherance of the work of disintegration which has for some time past been carried on towards Austria; on the part of the one Power, by secretly inciting the Czechs to refuse all compromise with the Court of Vienna, and of other by Propagating and encouraging Pan-Slavist ideas throughout the countries under the Austrian sceptre which are inhabited by a slave population.” The Presse of Vienna, however, announces that the object of the royal meeting at Ems was to ar- range a marriage between the second son of the Ozar, Prince Wiadimir, and a youtiful princess of the royal family, Finance and Trade in Frankfort. {From the London Times (city article), June 16,] ‘Tue advices from Frankfort describe a great ten- dency to animation on the Bourse. Old and solid railway securities command high prices, and Lom- bard and Austrian-Freach shares are especially in request, on the expectation of a large export of grain—a circumstance which has also caused the Vienna currency to rise two per cent during the past week. A new bank has been started at Frankfort under the title ef the German-American Bank, and among the promoters there are very good names. “The: might do a proiitable business,” it is remarked, “but the question 18 whether anything of American origin could be safely endorsed as long as judges are appointed by universal suffrage and not by com- petent authoritie:, who could ascertain the charac- ters of persons in whom such functtons should be vested.”’ United States bonds are in demand for investment, while there is scarcely any floating supply on the market. The Frankfort municipal authorities have granted @ concession to a company for extensive waterworks, with a guarantee of four per cent interest on the amount of their shares, taking also 1,500,000 florms on theirown account. The water will be brought from the Vogeisberg and the Spessart, a distance or thirty mules, previous attempts to bring it from the hills tn the neighborhood having failed, and the undertaking seems to be expected to prove highly remunerative. At @ meeting of delegates from the French and South German railway companies inter- ested in the traffic between France and Ausiria- Hungary at Prague, it has been resolved to reduce the freight for corn trom Pesth to Paris, via Cologne, as has previously been the case via Kehl; to admit Dynamit in the internattonal trattic; to grant a re- duction in the freight of cotton sent from Havre, and various other reductions, to secure the transport for their lines, SPAIN. ‘8 Speech on the Search for a King. The following is the text of the speech pronounced lately by Marshal Prim in the Spanish Cortes on the subject of finding some one to accept the vacant throne. He said:— The deputies probably expect me to proclaim the name of a candidate with whom I had been author- ized to treat on the part of the Spanish government, r hear.) 4 t do 80, because if I did L sist Go mit an inc sberet i di 100 ke might lead to complications; and, besides, my honor {s pledged. Gentiemen, you will, doubtless, approve my re- serve. (Yes, yes.) Whe candiaate was assuredly in the condition Spain requires, That is to say, of royal race, Catholic and of tull age. But fatality had written in the book of destinies of nations that we were not to succeed in finding a king. The Prince, 1 have been informed with as much delicacy as benevolence, cannot forthe present accept the crown. Then the government thought the time was come to refer to the Cortes and make the Assembly the arbiter of the question. Thus I sum up my statement, The Ministry has not been fortunate in these negotiations; it has no candidate for the crown of Spain to present you, at least for the present, out will it have to-morrow? [cannot say. Ican only assure you that the government is animated by entirely the same sentiment as the monarchist deputies, and that most certamly the Cabinet lias not lost all chance of finding a monarch, Without being able to fix a date or wishing to name the exact day, the ap ery ss will continue to treat the question with great prudence and reserve until 1t can present to you a candidate capabie of creating a general opinion in bis favor. Like you, we have considered that the first thing that the country required was to get out of the interregnum at any price. But we have no candidate to offer you, yet, as it is possible that the majority in the Cortes may have one, you will, with your exalted wisdom, take what determination you may decm proper tn conformity with Four patriotic spirit and sentiments. T may add that the government, as well as the depu- ties, looks on the continuance of the provisional state of things as @ | feat evil; but n0t having in its power any means of getting out of this painful situ- ation it does not share the exaggerated fears which have been expressed as to the dangers which would result therefrom.to liberty and society. A Paris journa! of the 16th of June reports the speech and then adds:— ‘The Marshal bette doe ia that the Spantsh crown had been offered to four different candidates in suc- cession, all of whom refused it, As he did not give their names we will supply the deficiency by stating that they were the ex-Regent of Portugal, Don Fer- nando; the young Duke of Genoa; Count d’Ku, son- in-law of the Emperor of Brazil, and Prince Fred- erick of Hohenzoilern, RUSSIA. A Church Sensation from Paris—Iatolcrance and Self-Suficiency. ‘The St. Petersburg Correspondent of the Eastern Budget, of Vienna, writing on the 6th, says:— The news that an English family of the name of Dickson was brutally tll-treated the other day by the w opener of the Russian church in Paris has pro- faced @ great sensation here. It appears that this family, having a desire to see the church, were ac- companied by a Russian lady, and that the pew .opener, on learning that they were Protestants, turned them out, with such violence that the ladies of the pare, nearly fainted. The Russian Pope @ttached to the embassy has since attempted to ex- lain this outrage by stating that he has not suiticient nds at his disposal to keep more than one pew opener. Otherwise, he added, the family in question would not have been refused admit- vance at the door, as the cnurch is kept up not to gatisty the curiosity of foreigners, but to provide for the spiritual wants of Russians.

According to arrangement already made the Swiss quota will be borne by the above mentioned govern- ments. The number of the London police on the Ist of January, 1870, was 8,857, viz.:—Four district super- intendents, 25 superintendents, 246 inspectors, 934 sergeants and 7,648 constables. The number is less than on the 1st of January, 1869, at which date there were 7,693 constables. The cost of the metropolitan Police in the fnanciat year 1869-70 was £818,316, but this includes a contribution of £62,000 to the super- annuation fund. There are 2,830 men on the super- annuation tist. M. Garnier, a member of the French Cambodian expedition, asserts that in China the taste for opium 1s by no means confined to the human race.

Ata town in Yunan rats used to resort in large numbers to an opium manufactory in order to inhale the fumes from the coppers, and after the town had been sacked by the Panthays the ruins of the factory were visited by 1ts old habitues, who were content to die on the scene of their former happiness. What effect opium might have upon the equine consttu- tion we cannot say; but if it would enable the bro- ken-down cab horse to forget his miseries for a time, aud, while standing on the rank, to dream of the freedom and fresh pastures of his youth, the most rigid moralist could not grudge the addition of a few grains of the anodyne to the contents of his nose-bag. A trial has just taken place at Calcutta involvin, the right or a Hindoo woman to choose her own relt- ion. A young woman, whose friends belong to.the rahmo Somaj, forsook the tenets of her fathers and was baptized. Her relatives got a writ of habeas corpus and secured influential counsel, but the jud; decided against them and gave the woman her lib- erty. She at once, in open court, in the most unhesi tating way, intimated that she would not return to her relatives. However, before judgment was re- corded, she was again removed to a private room, in order that her mother might again try to shake her resolution. No Christian friend was permitted to enter. Presently wails and shrieks and nowlings of grief reached us. After a painful interval the young woman was again called forth into the midst, evi- dently much agitated, and you may imagine the trying ordeal in a court crammed with spectators. She also had never been beyond the walls of the Zenana till within the last week. By God's grace she stood firm, and in a firm voice repited to the question where she decided to go, “To the Padre Saliibs.” Toe excitement is immense among the natives. All Calcutta is in a ferment. There can be no question of the adulteration of beer with water. This can hardly be said to bean unmixed evil, Those who contend that the more Serious adulterations with cocculus indicus is rare should remember that the amount of cocculus indt- cus imported into England 1s sufficient for the adul- teratton of three-fifths of the beer consumed in the United Kingdom, There 1s no other known use for the deleterious drug. It is utterly useless and never employed in medicine, and 13 equally useless and unemployed in the arts. Nevertheless, while the quantity imported in 1857 amounted to 68 cwt., it amounted in 1868 to 1,064 cwt. It may also be stated that the use of cocoulus indicus to give a fictitious strength to beer is not by any means confined to this country. According to a statement of Professor Dragendortt, formerly chemist to the St. Petersburg police, picrotoxine, the active principle of cocculus indicus, is largelv used for aduitorating beer in Russia, and it ig a frequent occurrence that brewers are flued on this account and the beer confiscated. Schubert, of Wurzburg, also states that Bavarian beer is very often adulterated with cucculus indicus, TRAGIC OCCURRENCE IN A PRINTING OFFICE. A Journeyman Printer is Shot Dead by a “p—d Sub. [From the Council Bluffs (lowa) Times, June 21.) Yesterday, just as the 7'mes was in press and the boys had begun to distribute their cases, our office was the scene of @ terrible and sanguinary encoun- ter, James M. Bell is a young man about twenty-two years of age. He is asmali man, about five feet six inches high, rather stockily built, has gray eyes, light curly hair, and is in his manner tacitura, and so far as our acquaintance with him goes to show he is@ quiet, orderly young man and always minded his own business wile employed in the Zimes oitice. He has been in Council Blutts only about ten or tweive days, and has worked part of the time in this ofice and part of the time on the Nonparetl, hav- ing no regular situation, but “subbing,” as 1b is called, for other printers regularly employed, at such times as the latter happened to be drunk or indis- posed, He had been subbing” for Charles Austin, the murdered man, during the day. At about six o’clock in the afternoun Belleleft the Times ofiice and went over to the Nonpareil, remaining there a short time, when he returned, He came up in front of the Z7émes office and leaned up against the door casing, looking ihto the office. Austin made some remark about his d—d sub,” Dlaming him for something that had occurred. ‘The latter (Beil) responded by calling Austin a “ d—a liar.’’ Austin made a rush for the door, swearing he would whip Bell, but was so intoxicated that he lost his balance and went off the sidewalk into the gutter. Recovering himself, he started for Bell a second time, when the latter drew a small revolver, and leveling it shot his assailant through tne head, the ball striking him directly over the rignt eye and about au inch above the eyebrow, passing directly through the brain and lodging against the skull bone on the back side of the head. Austin threw up his hands, gave a dull groan and fell forward on -hia face on the sidewalk, and for some minutes made na sign. Pretty soon, however, he began to exnibit signs of remaining hte, and was taken up and carried to the yard in the rear of the 7imes office, where: he Temained in a semt-conscious condition till removed to the building adjoining the Washington House, where he recovered suMciently to converse at inter- vals, Bell, ttmediately after he had fired the shot, came back into the oftice, terribly frightened. We said to him, “Bell, what have you done?” He replied, “I have shot Austin, What shall I do?’ e at once told him to go over to Mont- gomery’s omice and keep out of the way of the rapidly gathering and fearfully excited crowd till he could be taken in charge by the proper authorities. He followed our advice and went across the street. The crowd was increasing by scores, and in less than ten minutes the whole street in front of our office was crowded with people. Some-of the law- less and turbulent spirits who are always on hand in such cases began to ralse the cry, “Where a he?’ “Bring him out,” &c., and two of these latter followed Beil across the street, avowing their deter- mination to take him out and hang him. They ‘were, however, speedily dissuaded from their pur- pose by @ little “moral suasion’ in the hands of Montgomery, and there were no further demonstra. tions of the kind, Bell was born tn Cincinnati; he has @ brother living in Indiana and two sisters living 1 Benton county in this State.
