plenty of cases on this side of the river where the interference of the authoritles would do no harm. , We believe that the poor and the rich alike are grossly swindled by short weight in coal all over the city. If some few people would try the Jerseyman’s plam of the city scales perhaps they would find this out. Tax Fourta or Jury Murpger at Union Hitt, N. J., bas a curious sequel, Two New Yorkers, named Reynolds and Mullen, were ona visit to the brother of the latter. On their way home Reynelds was struck down and killed by a German named Eppenger, who mistook him for one of a gang that robbed him. The Grand Jury of Hudsen county teck Eppenger’s statement alone, and he was dis- charged, They then indicted Mullen for high- Way robbery, but the jury refused to convict him. On tho second trial the jury were out eighteen hours and convicted him. Viewing the facts of the case, which we publish else- where, in the strongest light as against Mullen, Jersey justice will not be vindicated in his punishment. The counsel for the prisoner made some grave charges against the Grand Jury in connection with this case, which, if true, entitle Mullen to the sympathy which seems to have been accorded to him by nearly all who were prescnt at the trial. A Territorial Government for Alaska Pro- powed. There appears to be a movement for obtain- ing a territorial government for Alaska, and it is said Mr. Sumner, who takes great interest in the Alaskans, or Aleutes, as they are some- times called, will introduce a bill in Congress the approaching session for some such pur- pose. Both the theory and practice of our government are favorable to such a measure. ‘The republic gives its citizens the opportunity to govern themselves as soon as practicable, and sometimes before they comprehend the privilege and duty. This was the case with a large mass of negroes in the South. The theory is thoroughly republican. It must be admitted, too, that the people become edu- cated in their political duties by the exercise of the privilege of self-government; still it is doubtful if a territorial government should be given to Alaska at present. The mass of the population is small and but little advanced in civilization, A territorial government would create a number of offices not needed at pre- sent, and at unnecessary cost. A patermal government that will pretect the people and prepare them by education for exercising the suffrage will be best, perhaps, for a few years. The Defences of the Harbor. It is satisfactory to learn from the report of General Humphrey, Chief of Engineers, that the defences of our harbor are in good condi- tion just now, when nearly all the world isin arms. The entrance to the harbor by Sandy Hook is protected by no fewer than six fine forts and us many batteries, all represented to be in excellent condition, The East river entrance, by way of Hell Gate, which will soon ke an open channel, relies upon Fort Schuyler and the fort at Willett’s Point. The engineers have been at work on Schuyler, Preparatory to placing an armament of heavy guns in earthen barbette. With the exception of the Cliff batteries on Staten Island no mew works have been commenced on any of the fortifications, the operations being con- fined chiefly to keeping them in repair. The whole amount of appropriations asked for the next fiscal year to keep our harbor defences in good shape appears to be about $480,000, including provisions for many valua- ble improvements in thefortsin the bay. This is but a trifling sum compared with the important purpose to which it is to be applied. We hope therefore that Congress will be liberal in the matter. Cuma to Be Looxep Arrer.—The insin- cerity of the Chinese government seems to be proved by a despatch dated at Macao, No- vember 8, and received at London November 23. According to this despatch the leaders and officials implicated in the recent massacre at Tientsin are still unpunished, although a few scapegoats have been sacrificed in the hope of satisfying the foreigners. Manifestly China will need to be looked after as seon as the termination of the present European war shall leave the great Powers—to which the Burlingame mission was lately sent—ample leisure to unite in effectually reminding the Chinese Emperor of his new obligations, A coalition will doubtless then be formed by Russia, France aud England to enforce upon China its duties as a recently admitted mem- ber of the family of civilized nations, Mean- while the United States government, which would, perhaps, join such a@ coalition, must not neglect the free and fertile field whieh China now epens for the development and ex- tension of American commercial interests. It will be our own fault if we fail to profit by the extraordinary advantages which that field offers to us in the comparative absence of almost all competitors. For Franox or Inetanp—Waion?—Over four hundred young Irishmen are said to have left this city within the past week osten- sibly for the purpose of joining the French army, and it is reported that a pretty full ex- pedition of a like character is nowyeady for transportation to Europe. Late despatches from London announce that Ireland is ripe for a revolutionary movement in case England should get into war with Russia, The na- tional journalists are urging the people in violent language to reserve themselves fer ser- vice in the army of Ireland, and not to waste their lives by enlisting in the British army. Putting these facts together, may not the exo- dus from this country be destined for Ireland @s much as for France?

WILHELMSHOHE, Nov. 22, 1870. Winter begins to show its dread visage here. The visitors to the hotel are decreasing in number. The Emperor Napoleon remains in excellent health smce the date of my last despatch to the HERALD. His Majesty looks better to-day than he has at any time before since his arrival and during his stayin the castle. Ienjoy a daily opportunity of seeing him on the promenade, and can fully con- firm my first statement of his general youthful ap- Pearance. He looks more like a man of forty years old than one of sixty summers. During the past week he rode out on two occasions on horseback, despite the fall of an incessant rain. He walks out every day for a longer or shorter period, A RELATIVE, Charles Bonaparte, Prince of Caniné, one of the prisoners paroled from Metz, arrived at the castle on his way to his temporary residence in Brunswick. FRIENDLY VISIT. M. Cartier, the renowned French sportsman, is here, It was reported erroneously that M. Cartier had fallen a victim te the vielence of the mob in Paris, His description of the condition of affairs existing in the capital of France is graphic and startling in narrative put at the same time mest in- teresting. A BISMARCK AGENT. A visitor, whose name 1 am net at liberty to give, but who is an agent of Count Bismarck, 1s now here fer the third time. This forenoon he remained closeted with the Emperor for fully three hours. After he came out I observed him in the park Grounds engaged in reading a paper, apparently manuscript. He was absorbed in its contents and evinced a deep interest, PRUSSIA ANXIOUS FOR A RESTORATION, Iwas accompanied by a friend at the moment. This friend was acquainted with the gentleman. Observing my companion, the envoy, or Bismarck agent, accosted him as follows:—“The destinies of Europe, sir, its peace in the future, are still in the hands of this man, God only knows what King William would not give to see him again installed in power In the Tuileries. The very worst prank which he could now play Earope would be by a refnsal of the imperial crewn." ‘This gentleman left Withelmshéhe the very same evening for Versailles, THE GENERALS AND THEIR PAST FIELDS. Marshal Canrobert arrived at Versailles on the ist instant. The Marshal returns to Stuttgart, tak- ing back letters witch he carried from Genera} ‘Wimpffen to tite Bmperor, but which his Majesty re- fused to open. i General Wimpffen avoided calling on Marsal Bazaine previous to his departure for Bonn. Marshal Leboouf passed an entire afternoon in conference with the Emperor. At the moment of Is departure from the castle he said tome, “I would give ten years of my life if I could only be tried by & court martial to-day, in order to have an opportunity to defend the conduct of the Bonaparte administration and my own during the war.” ORLEANIST INTRIGUES, It 1s known here that the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg (Kohary), daughter of the late King Louis Philippe, has placed herself at the head of the Orleanist propa- gandist mission among the French officers and sol- diers now held in prison in Germany. She has her principal agent in the Saxon Thuringian fortress in @ teacher of languages, and in Dresden in Herr Hessell, who will 800m attract the attention of the Prussian government like ay dia his colleague the French teacher, M. Gauthlot, in Silesia, who received orders to “clear out” of the country. The Prussian Minister of the Interior politely in- formed the Emperor Napoleon of the existence of intrigues in favor of the Orleans princes, adding, however, that no steps would be taken by the King's government against the parties engaged in them without tirst having had full proof of a violation of the law. Napoleon’s friends here consider the chances of the Orleans princes for a resteration to the French throne as equal to or below zere. THE “NEMESIS OF ENGLAND." With regard to the Russian imbroglio the Em- peror sald:—‘Remark, this is the Nemesis of Eng- Tand.”” It is ramored that an tmperial autegraph letter of the Czar to Napoleon has arrivea here. TROCHU WANDERING IN MIND. ‘The statement respecting the mental alienation of Trochu is corroborated. He said to M, Cartier that he “would not survive the fall of Paris only tn order to save the capital from its yall, that he had be- trayed the imperial government, and that in his last Will and testament he had fuily stated the means of annihilating the Prussians.” ANXIOUS ABOUT AMERICA, The Emperor Napoleon displays great anxiety to know the position which the United States will take in the Russo-Turkish difficulty.

Reminiscences of Als Visit co New York—How Ho and Bia Cousin, Prince Ricrre, Passed Their Time Here—Contrast Between the Two Cousine—Au Tuterosting Kelic of the Great Napoteon. * WOLFE ISLAND, Oct. 3, 1870, To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD:— Maving had @ personal acquaintance with the now ex-Emperor of the French while he sojourned in New York, | may mention some interesting incidents thatoceur to me, Napoleon Louts Bonaparte ar- rived there early in the year 1837 from South America, He was accompanied by his cousin, Pierre Napoleon, @ son of the first Napoleon’s brother Lucien, This Pierre is the same person who about @ year since was tried for killing in an affray a friend of Henri Rochefort. My late and senior first cousin, Edmond Baron Hackett, who had then recently eome from Europe, and had brought letters to some foreign diplemats and passed much time at Washington, was, when these two Bonapartes arrived, my guest in New York, and having been a cavalry officer of rank in Napoleon’s army and severely wounded at Waterioo, soon became very intimate with the Bonapartes, and they were seemingly very much attached to the Baron, who persuaded me to call upon them and cultivate thelr acquaintance. Their hotel then was the Washiagton Hail, which covered a part of the ground whereupon now stands the wholesale dry goods storehouse of A. T. Stewart & Co., in Broadway, between Reade and Chambers street, ana whero they continued to have apartments all the while they sojourned in New York. Iwas then joint owner with the Iate Oroondates Mauran, of the National theatre, corner of Church and Leonard streets, which had been built expressly for an Italian opera house in 1834. It proved un- successful as such, and was sold in November, 1836, by auction, and purchased by Mr. Mauran, a mer- chant of New York, and myself, ana wehad leased it tothe late James W. Wailack, father of Lester Wal- lack. Ihad a private bex therein, to which I gave the Bonapartes a standing invitation, of which privilege they almost nightly avaiied themselves, and where, besides at their hotel, they afforded me frequent opportunities of meeting them socially. hoon after my personal acquaintance with these Bonapartes had begun Baron Hackett intimated to me privately his surprise and disappointment, be- cause, said he, “You donot seem to appreciate Louis asJexpected you would.” 1 remarked, ‘‘Louts is not tome a prepossessing person; he is very taci- turn and reserved in his manner ond conversation, perhaps from hauteur or possibly because of an ex- alted sense he entertains of his own importance from having been born w prince and a nephew of Napo- leon, who had sat his father, Louis, on the throne of Holland.” “Ub, no!” said the Baron, “Louis is not affected. He 18 naturally pensive and habitualiy more reticent than talkative. The reason for his taciturnity woen you are present is that he esteems yeu a scholar and able but not willing to speak French, while he is un- able to converse in the English language.” “Well,” said I, “it may be so, but I must tell you candidly, though I am predisposed to pay a partico- lar respect to Louis, the reason is more becauso he is undoubtedly the grandson of the ill-used and un- ippy Empress Josephine than as a nephew ef Na- poleon Bonaparte, and for the reason, too, that Louis has « small, hali-closed, lead-colored eye, and neither tne contour nor bis facial features remind me of those which form my ideal of Napoleon's, ‘while those of his cousin Pierre do resemble them wenerally. figure, too, of Louis is scrubby ana under sized, and his gait awkward and more like a Pestilion’s than of an easy and well bred gentie- M-n. Pierre, though short, too, of stature, has a portly mien and a dignified address, and his man- ners are frank, free and easy, besides which he seems good humored and gay-spirited and a very pleasant fellow socially.” ‘The Baron interrupted, “Oh, Pierre ig @ geod fellow, but he ts Nek fall acd would calla rowdy, He is very bold, thoughtless and indiscreet im his behavior at might when promenading Breadway and meeting witn cypri- aps on the pave; imdeed, so much so that Louis 18 afraid to walk out alone with him in the evening, lest he, Louis himself, may become mtxed up in seme street brawl which Pierre may originate, and also be carned to the watchhouse, as Pierre has been. Still, though Pierre ts quick-tem- pered, he 1s liberal with his money and generous- hearted, and always @ pleasart companion. But Louls is a great man !”? “Pugh! said I, “why so? In what respect can Louis be called + 1s It because he happens to be the nephew of ‘Napoleon the Great?” “Ob, no!’ said the Barou, with emotion; “Louis is great, because nature has given him a quick, far- sceing and powerful intellect, which he has applied ‘with great industry as a student of mankind gener- ally, and of the French — particularly, and he has also closely studied and compares the various systems and policies of national governments aud of the arts of diplomacy: and has become a very pro- found thinker on those subjects. The world don’t know that man! He is now only about thiriy years of age, and if he lives he will one of these days astouish Europe. Oh, I am sure "? Though events since have proved the clearness of Baron Hackett’s perceptions of the mind of Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, doubtless had he died while im- prisonea in the Castle of Ham his name and cha- racter would have descended to posterity ciassliicd with idiets or madmen. A Louis had been some months in New York he was suddeniy aiarmed by hearing that his mother, née Hortense Beauharnais, was dying 11 Belginm or somewhere on the Continent, and he embarked in a packet for Havre at a day’s notice. His cousin, Pierre, went with him, and I was invited with Baron Hackett, aud saw them off. When the steamtug was parting from the then Salling packet and casting off the tow lines for our return to the city | bade the Bonapartes “adieu.” Louis and Baroa Hackett embraced aud kissed each other, and Lol janded the Baron @ cameo brooch, a profile bust General Bonaparte, which Louis tola the Baron—as the Baron, showing it, repeated vo me in a deliriuin of delight—“was given by his uncle, then only a general, to his mother, Hortense Beauharnais, while he was paying his court to her mother, then the widow Josephine Beauharnais. ‘That reiic, after Baron Iackett’s death, became and Js still mine. " The Baron, not long after the Bonapartes had re- turned to Europe, left New York for Florida to visit there Pierre Bornaparte’s brother, Antoine Lucien, and their consin Achille Murat; and, lingering im- pradently too jaie in the summer at New Orieans, he veok and died there of epidemic yellow fever, August, 1839. ‘The present ex-Emperor, 6ommonly referred to as Louis Napoleon, in his several and friendiy and furnillar notes 10 Baron Hackett, signed bis name tuvariably Napoicon Louis Bonaparte, and, tu that Which he wrote to me while then in London and dated, “Carlton Gardens, 14th December, 1839,” expressing much grief to hear of the anumely death of Baron Hackett, Be Pate Napoleon fait ses compliments ’ M.

The North German Parliament was opened to- day. The King’s speech was read by commission, as follows:— HONORED GENTLEMEN OF THE PARLIAMENT OF THR NoRTH GekMAN ConrEDERATION:— His Majesty the King of Prussia bas been pleased to assign me the duty of opening the Parliament of the North German Vonfederatson in the name of the confederate government. It would have given his Majesty great satisfaction to have been present to-day to thank God from this place for the successes with which the German arms have been favored and to express to you how much the national attitude and the unanimity of Parliament in aifording the necessary means for carrying on the war have aided these successes by the victories unpreceaented In the military history of the world, which, by God’s help, have been gained through the heroic courage and wise leadership of the Germans, The aggression of France against Germany in duly last has been repelled. The French people mast have acquired the conviction that the present power, since the destruction of the armies which Were sent. imio the feild against us, is not capable of resisting the united military forces of Germany. We might, therefore, regard peace as certain, Had our unfortunate neighbor a good government, the members of which took into consideration their future inseparable from that of their country, such a govern- ment would have seized every opportu- nity to enable the nation at the head of which it had placed itself by its own act to elect @ national assembly and deliberate upon the present and future of the country. But the documents which will be submitted to you will Prove that those who now hold power in France prefer to sacrifice the strength of that noble nation in a hopeless struggle, ‘The inéalculable exhaustion and waste which wilt result to France from a continuance of the war under the present circumstances must certainly so lessen the power of the country that its restoration will be slower than tn the ordinary course of war, The governments, however, are compelled, with regret, to express the conviction that peace between these two great neighboring Peoples, upon a continuance of which they calculated less than six months ago, will be all the more im- perrilled by the remembrances which this war will leave in France, when, by the recovery of her own strength, or by alliances witn other Powers, she Shall feel herself strong enough to renew the strug- gle. ‘Tae cond3tion upon which the allied governments wonia conclude a peace have been publicly dis- that they sheuld be cominensurate with the greatness of the sacrifices laid upon our country by this war, which, though cussed. It is necessary undertaken without any reason whatever, was ap- proved by the whole French nation. It is above all things necessary they should establish a safe fron- tler for Germany against a continuance by future rulers of France of conquest.

They are convinced that now, when it is a question of rendering secure {Here the despatch breaks off.

THE ROOSTERS’ INAUGURAL, The Opening Cock Fights of the Season—Dedica- tion of a New Pit in Jersey—A First Class Series of Seven Battles— Five Enceunters in Brook- lyn—Wings and Gaffs. On Thanksging night, “As has been the custom from almost titme immemorial, the cocking season was formally ushered in by an abundance of fight- ing at all the cockpits in and around New York. As might naturally be supposed the ‘ports’? and lovers in general of the pugnactous game fowl were very much elated at the prespect of plenty of fun, and they were net at all disappeinted; for pretty nearly every man who owned any of the feathered Gladiators had them out last evening, and the Way the feathers flew was a caution. Over In and around that religious community known as Brooklyn the sporting men were particularity jubi- Jant, and during the day and evening aii the old and favorite pits were crowded, and the number of the bipeds slaughtered was something immense. In Jersey there was @ “high old time of {t,” as the boys would say, and m the evening one of the finest pile ever seen in this coun- try was opened for the first time. ‘bere was avery large crowd of persons present, all of whom conducted themselves in a very {quiet and or- deriy manner, m consequence ef which everything Passed Off as ‘‘merry a8 @ marriage bell.” The fowls fought there were, asa rule, ‘tip top,” and well did they sustain the reputation Jersey has always en- Joyed for ‘dead game.’ The first fight was between a brown-red, with black legs, and @ red pyle, with willow legs, eacn weighing four pounds one ounce, The owner ofthe brown red said he had but just taken the bird from the walk and that he had not been trained at all. At the very first fly the pyle struck him and knocked him head over heels; bus he soon rallied again, and from that timé forward attended strictly to business, Fast fighting was the order for a few minutes; but the pyle soon got injured so that he could do his adWersary but little harm. Three times he was con- sidered as good as dead, buteach time he “came to’ and went for the browngred. Finally, however, the latter gotin & good blow, which Killed hun. ‘Time, 6 minutes. ‘Tne second fight was between a@ birch and grey, with green legs, weighing four pounds five ounces, and a black red weighing two ounces heavier. They were both good birds and fast fighters, and at the send-of the red had the callat 5 to 4. Afler they had fought three or four minutes, however, the betting changed in favor of the birch and then again to the biack-red. For some timeit was anybedy’s fight, as they say, 80 evenly were the birds matched. The red got cut Lomas Foggy awhile across the neck, and after that time he did not do muck, ‘he birch, however, Was as lively and a8 eager as any cock that ever entered a pit. Aft tedious contes: the black-red was counted out. ‘ifme, 20 minutes. Fight No.3 was a very pretty white pyle, with yellow legs, against a brown-breasted red, with black legs. Weights, 4 lbs. 12 0%. The betting was very much in favor of the red, as it was ihe opinion ‘that tue pyle would run awa: ‘They were tn this, however. He was a very fast chicke! fast, in fact, for he seemed to tire himself out be! the fight had fairly begun, The red was a tremen- dous hitter, and had apparently better bottom Laan his adversary, Bork were very badly cut up, Whea, finally, the red tut the pyle @ brain blow, whicn killed nim “entirely.” Time, 18 minutes. For the fourth fight @ biue-red with derk legs, Weighing 4 lbs. 9 oz, and a pyie mut, bravher to the pyle previously fought, and weighing 4 Ibs, were produced. The pyle was the favorite one. Krom the moment that tie chick struck the first lick It was evident that nelVaer of tiem aa good for anything, fer they were both as weak hit- | ‘ters as ever came Wogether.
