Notning but the pertistent effort of the late lamented Presiuent of the Royal Geographical Society, the noble-minded Murchison, Dacked by the solicitation and imfuence of his tel- Jow geographers, could awaken any suitable re- sponse from the Home Mice, and since sir Roderick’s death the chiefs of the favored haunt of red tape and funkyism have evinced an unmistakable will- Ingness to shelve the heroic traveller and mission- ery altogether.

A few picked meh, backed by a grant ol a few thousand pounds, could at any time during the Best two years have solved the mystery in which e fate Of Livingstone has been, aud ‘s still, in- volved. But tue government turned a deal ear to all such propositions; they made nosign. Time has Tun on, and it is even now quite questionable whether anything would have been done by either government or society were it not tor the eniey- ‘prise of the New YORK HERALD in despatching a special commissioner to the scene of Livingstone’s labors, with the avowed purpose of opening up communications with him. The reports which have reached England through that channel nave KEENLY TOUCHED THK NATIONAL PRIDE, and shumed both government aud people into action in the matter. They, however, seem even Yet balf disposed to act tn regard to Livingstone as they did on another similarly notable occasion, and leave to Americans the honor of finding, and, af powible. of restoring one of the greatest herves benefactors of the human race. Queen, on the representation of Her Majesty's Mip- igters, Nad been pleased to bestow the royal bounty &o whe extent of £300 upon Livingstone’s children, but not one penny toward the proposed expedition, and at the regular meeting on the 8 it was stated ‘thal no response had yet been received in answer to the urgent appeals made to the government 1n its Dehalf, itis, however, now determined to send an expedition independent of the government. The society have donated £500 1o that purpose, and priyate subscription has aiready swelled that amount to £2,500; £5,000 more are required, and it ull doubtless be supplied from the same source, A meamer Will sail probably about the middle of the month and proceed direct through the Suez Canal to Zanzibar, where it is expected to arrive about the middie of February, As to the num- as yet transpire Sor dot iuin that the society under whose immedi> ite auspices it is organized has yet arrived at any nite decision respecting 1%. Like the veteran Micawber, they are apparently waiting for some- fav: to turn up. It will probably consist 40. about equal proportions of naval, military and medical men.

Wale you have already concluded your Christmas and New Year's festivities we nave not yet begun them. It 1s yet only the 20tn of December with us, and we are only beginning to prepare our Christmas ‘rees and presents, And we are dotng so this year, perhaps, more merrily than ever, having, as we Know, nothing but security and pleasare before us. ‘The Oficial Messenger deciared to us the other day, ex oficio, that our political situation in Europe ts as advantageous as could be well wished for, The Germans, with whom some collision was prognosti- cated, sent us @ distinguished deputation for the purpose of testifying the fraternal feelings that waited them to us. If no particularly great stress is te be put ppon this sort of demonstration, it a, at all events, refrestung to know at peovle are anxious to make us Delteve that they are our best friends, In matters of pleasure we are Just as weil pro- vided tor, Mme.

Stull, with all these bright and jolly prospects, the government has thought it desirable to express its views on political matters through a medium that is notoriously unpolitical—namely, the Oficial Messen- ger (Pravitelstvenoy Westnik)—whose whole duty 1t 1s to publish decrees and appointments in the mill- tary and civil service, I leave it to you to judge the importance, a8 well as the wording of this document of which enclosed is the full text; and all 1 have to add is that it has been launched without any pre- text whatever—without even that of a survey of the past year, for 1t appeared in the 4 essenger in the beginaing of December, and therefore long before new year’s documents of that sort areissued, Here is THE TEXT OF THIS IMPORTANT POLITICAL SURVEY. nothing surprising fn this, The Austrian crisis 1s the most important of the questions pending in Europe, The si where it is jayed out ts in our immeuiate vicinity, tI incidents in the absorbing drama reacting di ‘upon ‘our- the result of ital in the Fast. “Our papers naturaily advert papers naturally advert ‘to these things very often.

And the the coolei % the question at issue F ah ead to treat itas it requires, Nobody will deny that the problems that have arisen and may arise in Austria are of @ complicated nature, and that their solution ‘Will be accelerated by the momentous events which have re- cently occurred, GREAT CHANGES, It is not the first time in the present century that great changes have occurred, Not to mention what happened defore 1815, we had the Turkish war in 1694, th 5 ‘4 ancl pation of Greece, the interventions of Spain in laly, re- volutions in France, Belgium and Poland, together with the whole series of Ugg ‘events consequent upcn the shock of 188. During this whole period the European govern- menis ‘were leas dependent upon public opinion that they are now. with more lom than at present, and Deing less suject to the irritating impressions of the hour, they took a practical view of the various dificulties as they ‘and endeavored to calculate cousequences belore cum- mitting themselves to a definite course. Mutual concessions were the natural result of universal moderation, and the old Russian proverb that a bad peace is better than a good war seemed to be generally recoguized. This prevailing dispoai- tion was sadly alterea for the worse in consequence of the novel tendencies introduced by le Sond Ampire, and main- tained by the French to ths day. WILL EUROPE REMAIN BTATIONAKY? Ia Eu to remain in the condition {nto which she has lately dritted? Will main force always be regarded as the supreme arbitrator of men and things, or will a beneicial reaction set in? Will the intoxication of victory and the craving for revenge perpetuate national differences, or will the disasters inseparable from war and the desolation of families at length compel a return to the wiser and more con- ciliatory policy which prevailed in past time? it Is imponsl- ble to anawer these pregnant questions. We may, however, observe that _@ traveiler who lately had the pleasure of meet- {ng Count Bianarek heard the following ominous words from r — n I did all in my power to obviate war between France and Germany it was not because [doubted the insue, ‘We were too strong to render defeat probable. But I was convinced that war, once begun, will spread over half a centary.”” SHOULD THIS UNYORTUNATE ANTICIPATION PROVE OORREOT, should the endeavors of the leading minds of the age fail to preserve peace, nothing would be lett for the world but to abandon the ordinary pursuits of industry and science, and ‘con the datiy papers with a view to a timely discovery of the next outbreak, of the next destructive thunder clap. We are all alike interested in averting such catastrophe, and in turn- ing the course of politics into @ more auspicious direction. It is a trite trath to say that THE PRESENT Is THF CHILD OF THE Past. France, feasting on th riod, finda it difiicult to herael ‘Thusthe war of 1570 rea d from that of 1506, as did thi: terjfrom the campaign of 1791. Retracing our steps ev ther we shall have no difticu'ty in discovering » continuous chain of cause and effect, which explains if it does not jus- tty the expressions used’by Prince Bismarck, Fortunately the East of Europe is {ree from the misfortune of such an interminable feud. The war between Austria and Prussia in 1866 certa’nly setiled a contention which had been going on for centuries; but once settled, the maVer is at an end, and not kely to revive, at least under the same conditions, ‘The squabbles between Russia and Prussia have always been of ® more accidental nature, and bave been easily allayed. Those two monar fare connected, bys fur- uonsbip and mutual esteem, and 1 7 these two countries to each other at various perious of their Instory have cemented a friendship between them which ts at least as atrong as the perpetual strife going on in Western Europe. RELATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA. ‘The historical relations between Russia and Austria are atill more renarkable. Centuries bave el when these two empires began to exercise a ence upon each other, and when the political ethnographical questions arose which app: e them to this hour, aithough they have never led to open war. On these facts Prince Gortschakull very can- dldiy duatea in bis communications to Count Buol, made in Isd, wt @ particularly gloomy period of our history, Tt must, however, be admitted that if the Austrian Cabi- net was to us just then fatthless and hostile, it has since evinced a more amicable disposition and returned to views the ignoring of which led to feud. Under these circum- stances it would be too boid to strive for the entire removal ofthese traditions, and we will believe that humanity will not be disgraced by the recurrence in the East of Europe of the bitter strife polsoning the West. RUSSIA, FRA\CE AND GERMANY, There are some other considerations to be weighed in c rection with this, Germany has been waging a terribie t France and imposed heavy terms upon the Whatever her motives tor punishiny them verely, there is the fact that she has 85,000,000 of enraged enemies on the cther side of the Moselle. Hence arise two results. It 1s France's: mterest to louk out for allies rather than make frean euemles, At all events she isin need of mpathizers, and very rrobably will endeavor to win over ussia. Germany, on the other hand, must be conscious that abe has incurred ‘the hatrea of an entire race. However humiliated and enfeebled France may be by the war, she numbers _ 85,000,000 inhabitants, and cannot bea pleasant neighbor for the Germans, Tne latter, being well aware of what they have to expect at he hands of so inveterate an enemy, made ready for all cou- tingencies, and wulle strengthening the ties of friendship which bind them to other nations, are likewise anxious to ¢ to the rest of urope. cific one. It is even ver they wilt exercise a pacifying Hi rian Cabinet, and that their advice will be more heeded at Vienna than ever before. Though it would be venturesome to inaulge in too glowing expeccations, still there are moral fofluences which cannot ily resisted. case the position of Russia is clearly as advapings could be well wished for. As matters stand, Russia to act. Menacing no one, she need fear no menaces. But it is asked, Has Kussia no interests which might render it advisable for her,to abandon her present attitude and an culties possibly threatening her in the future? We will en- deavor to answer this question calmly, aud without ailowing ourselves to be carried away by prejudice or passion. DOMESTIC POLITICS, peace. Peace to uss not only « meat of developing our present resources but also of gathering that strength which shail ward off the danzers of the future. ‘On this point, indeed, the whole Russian press ts agreed. But some journals are afraid that while we continue in a state of preparation political combinations may be formed around us, which, instead of reinforcing our position, may have the nd invigorate those hostue elements we to contend against, Wita an good many people in this coun- may have some eve to these contingencies try apprehend that Germany will be tempted to proat by the Austrian crisis for annexing the German provinces, remove the centre of gravity irom Vienna to Pesth and make Aus- tria a compensation in the East. Some even go the length of pointing to the alleged desire of the Gi with the Hungarians and Austro-Germ: this design. _ In either case they regard the fate of the Scla nian races, who are our natural allies, as sealed ; in either case they foresee that Hungary will eventually enter into a pow- erful league with Ger to exclude us from Europe, and jally from all participation in the affairs of the Fast. Those who go furthest tancy that the integrity of Rus- sia will be menaced, and the Galician Poles, alwa; iy to hurt us, be used for pene & way into the very beart of this empire. A combined Prusso-Swedish fasion from the north and # Turco-Persian irruption from south aud east, complete the picture of the most dreadful coalition ever formed againat us or any one else. Without tarrying to re- fute these overwrought prophectes, we cannot deny tat there is something in the opinion of those who, looking at the recent innovation in Aui contend that we cannot allow 4 system to be establiahed on our very froatiers which aims at strenthening our principal enemies and at wenak- ening our natural ailies, The changes which are being made in Austria concern not’ only as neighbors, but also as co-nationalisis of the numerous Sclavonian tribes, whose fate is greatty imoerilied by recent events. Without wishing to exaggerate possibie dangers, qe yet can- not heip saying tbat if the Austrian crisis were to assume an aspect prejnaicial to ourselves, the simplest means of avert- ing evil would be to orknowieage the perf] and act calmly resolutely. » of course, bave no wish to unite the various Sclavonian tribes under Russian hegemony, contrary, we combat this idea, and hold that those advo- a cating it will only arouse national sensibtiities and create dificulties which tt im not interest to nourish, nor the in- terest of the Bc. ther.

Russia prizes peace as the one thi needful to secure her advancement in wealth, culure an reform. Unwilling to attack, she is too strong to dread being attacked. It would be well if the motives animating the pacific action of the Powers were duly appreciated by the press, and employed ag means of allaying susceptibill- ties and dispelling prejudice. Let us bope that the really wellsntentioned among journalists will the example Set them py the various governments. TOW THE SURVEY IS REGARDED IN AUSTRIA. It is quite natural that, being addressed chiefly to Austria, a document of that sort should have pro- voked an avalanche of articles in the Vienna press, and all of them interpreting the document with such hostility that the Journal de St. Pelersbourg (not to be confounded with the St, Pelersborourg Gazette, which is @ Russian paper, while the Jour- nal 1s a@ French organ of Prince Gortschakoft), printed on the 19th of December (1st of January), another note more especiaily addressed to the Vienna Cabmet. “Some of the Vienna papers cannot give up calumniating Russia,” says the Journal. “Unavle to disavow the moderate tone of the political pro- gramme published by our government, they declare the government's declarations to be tusincere, If Russia nad ambitious views she would not nave been in want of opportunity to bring them toa realization m 1829, 1837, 1840 and 1848, ‘That Russia has always considered the existence of Turkey and Austria 45 indispensable elements of the European balance of power. To be sure the Crimean war ought to have greatly changed the views of the Russian government. Yet, mnotwitnstand- ing the proceedings of the various Min- asters that succeeded one another at Vienna, our Cabinet never took advantage of — tne provocations given to it. As to the question of the sincerity of our government, the Austrians ought to remember that our government 1s essentially a strong une, having its roots in ail that national feel- ings ,and traditions produce, and that it nas, there. fore, no necessity whatever for saying what it does hot mean.” ‘The repuke 19a pretty sharp one, as you see, if we keep in view that it 1s not a private hewspaper that makesit, but an organ of the Foreign ce, THE VISIT OF PRINCE FREDERICK CHARLES gave Occasion to an incident worth relation, A gala performance was to be given at tne Michael Theatre, consecrated to French plays. ‘the cast refused, however, to play before the Germen hero, The Chamberlain in chi of the theatres, which are still an Imperial institution here, made his report to the Emperor, and received the following auswer:— “Of course the artists are quite at liberty to retuse playing: but I am just as much at liberty to order them Lo Jeave the country within twenty-four hours nter- should tuey persis¢ in this refusal.’”’ And the result Of chs answer was that the artists did play. FRANCE. The Paris Election—How Hi Was Beaten— Vote for Vautrain or Lose Your Employ- ment—Metternich’s Farewell Dinner — Another French Consul in Trouble. PARIS, Jan, 9, 1872, ‘The electoral campaign which M. Thiers ventured ‘upon with his two chiels of the staf, M. Barthélemy St. Huaire and M. Calmon, has been crowned with a success which neither he nor any one else in France or abroad could have anticivated, M. Vau- train, the Chairman of the Municipal Council, has beaten Victor Hugo by a majority of 121,158 voles against 93,423, Asa matter of ultmate success this result bas no meaning whatever for M. Thiers, for M. Vautrain is as radical @ republican as can be found among decent sort of people, and & man who Will never be elsewhere but on the opposition side. But for the momentit 1s @ great success in that sense that, having made up his mind to accept the least evil of the two, M. Thiers managed to avold the greater being imposed upon him. He preferred Vautrain to Hugo and he got him, and this is the way in whico he did get him:— HOW IT WAS MANAGED. In the first place MM. St. Hilaire and Calmon Were ordered to call upon all the “district mayors and similar authorities and to direct them to use their utmost effurts to send to the poll all the moder- ate people of their districts who would be likely to ab- stain, being equally averse to both candidates. And while these two gentlemen were busy at Paris the President himself, undertook to work at Versailles. He asked several of the leading tradesmen like MM, Goin, Barbedienne and Dreyfus to come over to him and to have a talk, during which he exposed to them all the dangers of Hugo’s election iroma business point of view. In the Quartier du Sentier nearly all the big merchants received one way or the other the same intimation. To all of them it was care- fully explained that ali hope of a return of the Assembly to Paris, and, consequently, of a revival oi the trade, must be given up if Hugo was elected; and all of them set at once to work so energetically that Hugo, who had on rriday morning three-quarters of tue large factories upon his side, had hardly one- quarter on Sunday moroimg, some of tae employers having aectared to the Workingwen that should Hugo ve elected on Sunday they ueed not return to work On Monday, a8 the workshops would be closed. At the gigantic establishment of Call & Co,, where the Workingmen are Known to be par- Ucularly stanch tn Wer radicalism, intumdauon Of Unis Sort. would not have answered, and, conse- quently, a different policy Was pursued. ‘The mea were told by their patrons as well as by ‘rea’? emissaries that Hugo ‘nad deserted the fleid in a moment of danger” and that he was a “talse brother,” and sv successful proved to have been tie propaganda that out of 2,900 workingmen about 4,700 austained from voting: and this was all the more Important as tae district where the factory ts situated Was already more disposed in favor of Vautrain. The only place where M. {niers’ efforts have completely fauled Was the (aubourg St. Antoiue, which voted, with a remarkavle unity, for Hugo. But One quarter, could, of course, do noth i yesterday several Ot t culors offered their congra.uiations to M. Vautrain, and reminded him that twe Paris tradesmen and manulacturers, alter the vote of Sunday, reckoued upon tue speedy return of the Assembly vo Paris, They staved that the people of Paris considered that the government was morally bound in this respect, Keeping in view that negotiations on this sub- ject Of the tradesmen and manatacturers with M, ‘Vmers Were so recent inere Was apparently no need to remind M. Vautrain of them once more, and since the congratulauog municipal councillors ventured” to do so it must be supposea that they were atratd that M, Vaucrain was not aware of the bargain by wach his election Was secured. FORCING TUE TICKET, But through having succeeded in getting M. Vau- train invo the Assembly M. ‘ibiers lias by no means crushed his enemies, tue ultras, Thus, if on Sunday the centre of Paris was periectly quiet, behind the Pantheon, in tae Rue St. Jacq Rue des Ursu- lines and kinared places groups of individuals were waiking avout, stopping the passers by and forcing upon them Hugo’s tickets. In certain quarters peo- ple who deciared themselves in favor of Vautrain ran the risk of being beaten to deat In the Rue de Paris, at Belleville, an old man of the name of daquinot and mis son Were greatly ill used for a de- Claratiou of this sort. In the Kue de la Roquette, at Montmartre, In the Rue Lepic and Kue Véron the police were compelied to interfere to protect M. Vautrain’s ea ‘Yo be brief, 1 must say that the present elections in Puris assume a good deal of the Bagtish or Irish character—a character wey did not possess formeriy, But the government of M. Thiers does its best to conceal both tts own manwuyres and those of the “gentlemen of ‘ne, government,” and you mast have had some Reu- ver's velegrains declaring thateverything was going on a8 quietly and legally as Ccoula be wished for. Even the numver of tose who abstained from Young 1s conceaied by the government; but It mast be considered as amounting to 10 less than 300,000. ABOUT THE PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS hothing positive can be said to-day, as the result is not yet suficiently known. The only thing certain is that Gambetta’s candidate at ‘Toulon, M. Frey- cinnet, has been defeaved by M. Cotte, ‘This will be, of course, atiributed to the fact that M. Cotte nas the reputation of being more red than M. Frey- cinnet; but the truth is that M. Cotte was @ prefect at Towiog ugder AL Cambeita, wad wanawed to Rew all the conscripts of the department to drill at home instead ot them to the camps of instruc. tion, This made him very popular in the city, which did not give @ single soldier to France during the whole the war, and though M, Cotte was subsequently dismisced from the prefecture he iias now been sent by his patriotic fallow ciuzens ve the Assembly, POLITICAL GOSSIP. Passing from electoral politics to political gossip, I must note two dinners which took place the other davy—the one at M. Thiers’, the other Prince Mettervich’s. M, Thiers’ dinner was given to the Emperor of Brazil, The Empress was preseut, Loo, at the President's house, and seemed just as much interested 1n the elections as her husband was. The dinner took place on Sunday, and the telegram an- Rouncing the wlotory of m. Vautrain arriving at the dessert the Impe! couple seemed thoroughly to enjoy the news. On the same day and at the same hour Prince Metterpicn was giving a /arewell dinner to a party of fourteen Imperialists, mciuding M. de Persigny, M. Benedetti and M. Conti, the latter of whom never beiore during this year ventured ap) at om or semtofticial din- ners. "The toast jor the Emperor and the Empress Was proposed by the Prince and answered by M. who said that he had the certainty of see! much-regretted Ambassador of Austria back before June, for the spring would not pass without seeing the return of the Emperor, and the punishment of the traitors wao prepared and ex- ecuted the revolution of the 4th of September. IMPERIALIST MOVEMENTS. In the way of imperialist movements I must no- tice the arrival of M, Emile Olivier, alter @ year’s retreat in italy. He has taken a small apartment in Rue de Satory, at Versailles, and is about to pro- duce un dossier ut against M. Trochu and General Palikao, Another of the imperial servants has been requested to come over to Versailles less plait , and that is M. Tolhausen, late rrench Consul at Letpsic, He is accused of not having in- formed the government of the military preparations that were going on around him in the spring of 1870, and of having not done so consequent on some illicit conoections with Prince Bismarck. M Tolnausen bas been placed under arrest at home, in charge of a colonel of the gendarmerie. GERMANY. Bismarck’s Note-A New Explanation—The Kaiser Thinks Him Too Kind to Thiers— Growth of the German Navy—Muzzling the Clergy—The Religious and the Labor Ques- tions—Festivities of the Season. BERLIN, Jan, 8, 1872. Those not classed among the stereotypea admirers of Bismarckian iron rule are cudgelling their brains to discover the true motives of the astonishing production recently publisnea by the Chancellor— viz., his brusk note of Decemver 1, threavening dire vengeance against France. It will be re membered by comparing dates that for three weeks after this bullying despatch the Chancellor was reported quite indisposed, though it was generally understood that ne was hale and hearty, and that, when called upon by nis anxious pnysi- clan, he jestingly sent word that he was too sick to admit him. The fact was that he had the blues, and did not care to be seen either in pablic or at court, The following version of the affair we have from a source usually considered well informed:— Early in December the old Emperor, having learnea the acquittal of tbe French murderers, Tonnelet and Bertin, flew into @ passion, and instantly calied Bis- marck, and flatly told him that all this was in con- sequence of his coquetting with Thiers and his con- descension to Pouyer-Quertier, and that he loved his soldiers too well to see them recklessly assassi- hated. Hismarck mildiy remonstrated, maintain- lug that, in consonance with the customs of civilized nations, the French government could do no more than transfer the criminals 40 Its courts, and that no one could assert that tne French laws were pur. posely framed to acquit the guilty. But the Em- peror remained deaf to such reasoning and insisted upon PROMPT RETALIATION, Bismarck retixed grumbling and meditating as to whether or not he would yield to the wish of his imperial master. Upun “second sober thought” it ocourred to him that 1s conciliatory policy towards Thiers nad not been productive of anuciputed results; that the wily President of the Freach republic was thinking more uf reorganizing tne army than of paying the muilliards, aud that, in fact, Thiers made excellent use of the pecuniary position to noid bira- self im office, knowing Well that his services would be atan end if the Indemnity were paid and tue counry treed from occupation. Swayed by these reflections, Bismarck wrote nis bitter note ot the 7h ult., Which produced such @ thrilling sensation throughout the Continent, und seemed for a while to Unreaten a renewal of the Franco-German strife. ANOTHER DECIDED STRP on the part of the Chancellor 1s his energetic devel- opment of the German navy, Wicd, as you have been informed by wire, has been severed from the muitary department and placed under his imme- diate control, Tue Minister of War, General von Roon, an intantry officer, ceases to have @ say in marine affairs, and now the naval force, though nominally under command of another inianuy Oficer, General von Stosch, 18 directiy controlled by the Foreign Vepartment, thus enabling bismarck to carry lorward its aggranaizement, There can be no doubt that his object 1s to make it, in the short- est possible time, a first class navy, and perhaps more powertul than any now in existence. Ivis probably for this purpose that the German squadron, which at first was to constst of four ves- sels, but 18 now augmented to seven, is being titted out, at an expense of two millions, to impress loreign Powers,with the increasing paval greatness of Germany. It is evident to every observer that, as a political Power, the new realm is making gigantic strides. As for its iternal deveiopment 1b 1s [ar irom corresponding With the outward appear- ance. ‘True, @ few of the somewhat hveral laws introduced since the union of the Fatherland have resulted in unmistakable benefits. For mstance, the law permitung iidividuals to marry ana sete when and where they may desire, without being treated as mere serfs by the authorities, has mate- rially dimmuished the number of ilegiumate birshs, On the other hand, we migat point to the frst true of that narrow law passed at tne late session of the Reichstag, and intended to MUZZLE THE CLERGY. A Cathohe priest at Moosburg, Bavaria, in a ser- mon delivered during last March stated that we Pope was deprived of his property because of the laithiessness of Catholic sovereigns who were in duty bound to’protect him, and who, though claim- ing to govern “by the grace of God,” seemed to do it by the grace of the devil. When the trial took place, about a week ago, five witnesses appeared against the accused who testitied to having heard the words above mentioned, which the State At- torney construed as treasonable, while @ much greater number of Witnesses could not recollect having heard such expressions, The unlucky priess was sentenced to oue year’s imprisonment in # tort- Tesa. EVIDENCES OF INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS daily become more apparent. The uew census shows a considerable increase of the population. Money 1s extremely abunaant, and speculation in all branches of trade 18 assuming unprecedented proportions, Banks and stock compames spring up lke mush: rooms, and such is the competition among the for- mer that fields of enterprise are being sought for branch banks even as lar as Shanghae and Yoko- hama. THE TWO GREAT BUGBEARS of this epoca—viz., the religious question and the labor question—are jast now thrown somewhat in the packground by tis general prosperity, Some sensation was produced vy ajetter from a Russian Jayman to Dillinger asking him to assume the tull responsibility of his movement, and, instead of bas- ing his creed upon che Council of Trent, to return a3 once Lo the orthodox Church, as 1t stood a thousand years ago and is still upheid in te East. “Unless you repent of your present errors and fully discard Roman Catholicism, we, the aniversal Catholics, cannot admit you to our 101d.” ‘As ior the lavor question, iv cannot be sald that the government entirely tgnores it, lor conlerences between the Minister of Commerce and the great re- iormer, Senuitze-Deiltzsch, have lately takea piace, and the condition of the savorer, strikes, coalitions and the so called ‘social question’ were earpesuly considered. Such ate the signs of the imes—an old fogy Prussian Minister compeiled to sit head to head with a liberal deputy, a representative of the laboring classes! THE SEASON OF FESTIVITIES 1s now opening. and, as last winter Was one of con- stant mourning for the rulers and the ruled, the splendor and extravagance of this bid fair to more than compensate for tue abstinence of tne past. The Emperor aud Princes are sul enjoying the chase; the welt known Ullmann, of your city, 18 gathering crowded houses with his troupe, composed of Miss Moabelli, Sivori, the Florence quartet, Hammacker and others, and on the Istit proximo the annual feast of decoration Will be more splendid than ever, because of the great number of crosses, medals and orders awarded «durmg the war, aud the wear- ers of which are expected to be present. The young Americans sojouruing here, under lead of Kreiss- mann, Bliss, Abbott and ladies, have already en- joyed one hop-soirée, Which wound up at early mornmg with a genuine Virgmia reel, CANADA.

What the Grand Jury Are Doing in Jersey Chy—More Astounding Develepments—An Assessor Fleeced of $300. ‘The Grand Jury now 1n session at Jersey City are rendering @ service to the plundered taxpayers which can never be requited, Coutractors, potice- men, office-holders, journalists and private clitl- zens have been impressed into the service of the State to aid m the grand inquest and bring the violators of the 1aw to justice. The records of the Police Department are in the possession of the Grand Jury, and those of the Board of Public Works will be made use of next, Every department of the city government will have its doings thor- oughly sifted and every expenditure will be examined, The means by which a certain “ring” of contractors have obtained all the con- tracts to the exclusion Of all other competitors will be inquired into.

Mr. Acton demurred, stating that his sulary was only $1,800 @ year, and such an assessment would be Comper The Commissioner retorted that an Spplleam, tor Mr. Acton's position had offered $600 the position were given to him. Mr, Acton was further reminded that all the Assessors nad con- tributed a like amount. Under these represerta- tions the Commissioner induced Mr. Acton to sign & power of attorney, so that the Commissioner drew the amount at the City Cierk’s office, Upon inquiry into the matter Mr. Acton ascer- tained that not one of tbe other Assessors had con- trivuted one cent. tie thereupon brought the matter before the Pavonia Club, and a commitiee was ap- jeres which reported in favor of returning $100 to . Acton. This was the only redress the aggrieved mat could ootain, He brought the matter beiore the Courts, and, in addition to the civil suit, the Grand Jury will be called upon to pronounce on the case, The Grand Jury have other matters anecting the same Commissioner under consideration, ALARMING FIRE IN HOBOKEN, A fire broke out yesterday in a wooden tenement in Garden street, between Fourth and Fifth, in the very heart of an entire biock of frame buiidings, A large lumber yard was close by, and th:s added to the alarm of the inhabitants. The wind was blow- ing violently at the time, and so impressed were some of the people m the surrounding dwellings that the whole block should be consumed tia’ they began to empty out their valuables in utter confu- ston. The tiremen were soon at hand, however, and struggled heroically to save the property, and ere Jong their efforis were met witn sgccess, jad the flames endured muca longer the water must have frozen in the hose and che loss would be incaicu- lable, Unless preventive measures be soon adopted there is constant danger of numerous rickety tene- ments being consumed in that locaiity, INDIAN TERRITORIAL POLICY. Sr. Lovts, Jan. 29, 1872. Thomas Lemoine, of this city, who has spent several wecks in the Indian Territory, has just re- turned, and reports that the feeling in regard to the adoption of the Territorial policy 1s gaining ground, but there 18 still intense hostility to it, and consid- erable interest 1s manifested as to the Congressional results on the subject. In the Creek Nation the advocacy of such measures would be dangerous to the life of the advocate. Among the Choctaws the policy is graduaily growing. Among the Chero- kees it 1s still more javoravle, He says it is merely & question of time with ail the tribes as tots ulti- mate success. But littie else is talked o1 there now, aud the sending of rival delegates to Congress 1s the source of much comment, and occasions ai times local trouble. MASONIC BAZAAR, ScHENECTADY, Jap. 23, 1872, The Masonic bazaar, now oeing held in the State Armory, in this city, draws a large number of people nightly.
