other ways more frequently at one period than another. Then the morbid feeling and curi- osity excited in the minds of weak, insane or partially insane people by the report of one bloody horror are apt to lead to others. Crime, too, is often fed by crime. A murder or suicide is likely to prove suggestive, particularly if much talked about, to criminals, monomaniacs, weak minded or insane persons. Let us hope the list of these horrors is closed, and that we shall not have the painful duty to keep record- ing them. Our European Correspondence. The letters of the Hzratp’s correspondents from the four principal capitals of Europe, which we publish on another page of this morning's issue, contain many points of inter- est for the information of the general reader. As might have been expected, the Heratp’s expedition into Africa in quest of Dr. Living- stone bas had the effect of stirring up the Britishers, and now they manifest a desire to ‘andertake a mission with the object of pene- trating Africa in search of the great traveller, The Royal Geographical Society has the matter in hand, and private subscriptions are @esired to hasten forward the enterprise. The example of the Hrnatp has touched Eng- lish national pride, and this is one of the re- sults. In our Paris letter we have a very full explanation of the defeat of Victor Hugo, and how it was effected, in the late elections. The opponent of the great novelist, it will be remembered, was M. Vautrain, a radical as pro- nounced as Victor Hugo himself; but he had President Thiers on his side, and that influence conduced largely, if not wholly, to Vautrain's success, The gain really amounts to uothing for the government beyond tbe fact that it was publicly known that Thiers favored the latter candidate and was successful in his partiality. Bismarck’s recent note concerning German Fetaliation on France does not appear to give fatiefaction to his imperial master. Bitter as ‘was the feeling with which it was received in France, and severe as were the expressions {t contained, the Kaiser was not pleased with it. In fact, he considers Bis- marck’s treatment of France altogether too fenient. The part which the imperial Chan- cellor has had to play all through the Franco- German difficulty has been of such a charac- ter as required care, coupled with boldness, in {ts treatment, and there is little doubt that uninterested spectators will not coincide with the Kaiser's opinion of Bismarck’s policy. Opinions have been varionsly expressed on the present relations between the French republic and the German empire, and many of them consider that severity rather than len- jency has been the distinguishing trait of Prince Bismarck’s course. The feative season at the date of our St. Petersburg correspondence was fairly inau- gurated in Russia. The political survey of the nation contained in tiat correspondence will give a clear insight into the progress which the great empire of Northern Europe is making io a!l directions, * Personal Intelligence.

The British expedition under General Bourchier, which 18 operating against the Looshais, on the northeastern frontier of India, attacked a force of the latter on Friday last and infictea considerabie loss upon them, ‘The expedition also suffered some loss, having four men killed and a few wounded, General Bourchier himself received alight tnju- ries, The Scene of Conflict. Advices from Cachar, India, the scene of the Britisn army expeditionary muster, daiea in the early days of December, 1871, speak of the Looshat country, which the British were about to invade, im the following words:—The Loosnat country 1s as much @ lerra incognita as Abyssinia; as wild as and more densely wooded than New Zealand, and as pestilent as Bhutan. I hope that the success which followed us in Abyssinia, te duce Mag- dala, may not fail us here, the same leader hav- ing planned the operations; and that the disasters of New Zealand and Bhutan may nave no parallel, The Looshais are not likely to emulate the Maoris, who fought their tomahawks against English bay- onets; and in Bnutan it was pestilence and famine rather than the Bhuveas that did battle against us. ENGLISH COMMISSARIAT CARE, Warning has been taken from the events ot our two former campaigns in thac “devil's country,” Bhutan, Each English soldier has been supplied with a good- Sized waterproof sheet, two of which joinea to- gether by the eyelet holes, with which they are furnisned, can pe made into a tent @’abdrt, after the French fashion, sufficiently large to hold three or four men, the sheet of the third man forming @ waterproof flocr. The coolies have also been supplied with large sheets in the proportion of one to four men. This will have the best eifect in keeping the men in health and spirits; for nothing damps the ardor of men on army ser- vice more than neavy rain, and heavy rain ts to be expected about Christmas. COOLIE ALLIES AND CONTINUED PREPARATIONS. Cachar is all alive with the budtle of preparation for a smart British campaign. The Forty-fourth Assam light infantry has arrived, coming up the river in boats from Sylhet, Several detachments of coolies have come in, looking well and fic for work, most of the men being Well set up, powerful fellows, capable of carrytng with ease the very moderate load assigned to them, It cannot be sald that government has erred on the side of economy in not attempting to overload thesa men. Instead of foot-sore, weary, overloaded wretcbes eager to get away and ready to drop from fatigue, they will have a body of active men, so lightly laden tnat their day’s work will be as nothing 10 what they are ac- customed to at home, It will be done with cheer- Julness and alacrity, and the chance 1s that not a man will break down. Thisin the end will prove to be real economy, and the transport service ought to go on smoothly and pleasantly. It is intended that as much as possible of the heavy stores, reserve provisions and ammunition shall be sent up whe river by boat to Mynadhar, the Britisn frontier outpost; and from thence—if depth of water and the Looshats permit—to Tipal Mookh, where the advanced English depot is to be established in the first instance. Werlike spirits among the Eura- ofmMicers predict that they shall find this post gly stockaded and stoutly defended; but “the wish” is provably “father to the thought,” and people who Know, or profess to know, the Looshais, tok such ap event extremely unlikely, Indeed, Tumors are current that the fronuer villages are already deserted, and that the people are taking reiuge in the jungles, either from fear ora more sale system of fighting. THE EUROPRAN ADVANCE. A written despatch, dated ata point still near to the scene of battie—in the last hours of the month of December—reports :—The eft or Cachur column, under General Bourchter, ap- pears to have had the roughest work. ‘1o- wards Mynadhur the track was beset with the tuickest jungie. The elephants could not move un- ti the Goorkhas had clearea tne way. The police corps are placed under the General, and so disposed throughout vhe district as to prevent a surprise. Mr. Edgar, thé Commissioner, sent messages to a iriendiy Looshai chiel, but coud get no answer. General Brownlow, with the right or Chittagong column, had pushed on beyond Vemagiri Falls to the Syloo country, and would probably turn to the northwest to unite with General Bourchier. The only trouble appears to have been the loss of coolies by cholera, lor which the Bengal govern- ment is heid responsible, 800 having oeen embarked, without medical oversight, on two river flats, un- suited for the accommodation of more than half the number. BOURCHIER’S UNIFORM IN THE FIELD. Genera! Hourchier and the officers of his staf! were photouzraphed in all the glories of spiked helmets and brass bands some ume since m Cachar, but now all these brave adornments have been ruthlessly packed away until their return and Spartan simplicity is the order of the day. A neat costame of Noriolk jacket and knickerbockers made ot brown canvas, with yellow Jeather seams and innumerable pockets, the waist encircied by a plain brown belt stuck full of pistols and daggers, 13 now the correct thing; it is chaste in the extreme and combines in one garment a littie of Fra Diavolo with a strong touch of the Eng- lish coaiheaver, Add to this a close-cropped head and a stubply chin and there stands the typical oficer of the British Looshai Fietd Force.

Trustees of Savings Banks To Be Held Responsible for Deposits. An Investigation To Be Held in the Case of the President of the Pacifie Mail Company. A Warning to Players of the Sawdust Counterfeit Game. ALBANY, Jan, 20, 1872, There was barely a quorum in the Assembly and only seventeen Senators present in the Senate this evening, but few of the country members being on hand when the two Houses were called to order. AS a natural consequence the business transacted was of no great importance and the proceedings throughout exceedingly dull, The only bill intro. duced of any moment was by Mr. Husted, making it atelony for anybody to indulge in THE SAWDUST COUNTERFEIT GAME, by which so many innocent countrymen are daily victimized, The bill provides tha: if any sharper palms off on any persons what he pretends are “good imitations” of currency notes or United States or any other coin, and gets caught atthe trick, he must, on conviction of the little trick, go to Sing Sing for a term not exceeding four years. The bill does not state whether or not the coun- terfeits shall be good or bad, which is rather rough on the “dealer.” On the contrary, the sawaduster who indulges in the business ts to be considered guilty, even though the counterfett should be a mere caricature of one of the genutne stamps. The petition of Layman for an investigation into the conduct of the President of THE PACIFIC MAIL STEAMSHIP COMPANY'S way of speculation with tne stock of the company is rather a startling one. He claims that he has 600 shares of the stock, and has, therefore, a right to grumble at what he calls an outrage, He says Mr. Stockwell loans the funds of the company to brokers to enable them to specu- late with the stock of the company, and this to the extent of millions of dollars. The Committee on Commerce and Navigation, on motion of Mr. Mor- ton, were empowered to make an investigation and to send for persons and papers, Mr. Oakley introduced @ bill making every trus- tee of @ savings bank personally responsible tor the moneys deposited in the bank. In case the bank refuse to pay w depositor on demand the latter can sue the trustees. The Dili also provides that every trustee must hold reai estate to the value of at least ten thousand dollars, free of all encumbrance.

Such @ resurrection of the past is had every year by the “vamps’* of the “Old Volunteer Fire Department,” and its results are gladdening to the impover- ished widows and orphans of their comrades of “ye olden time.” Last night the annual event above alluded to, and which is Known as the “Firemen’s Ball,’’ gathered a grand assembiage of elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen, arrayed with Immaculate shirt fronts and glossy broadcloth, in tne Academy of Music.
