The same correspondent says tnat the Russian government has temporarily suspended the am- nesty in the case of returning Polish exiles, This action is evidently due to the agitation among the Polish emigrants and the supposition that the amnesty might be used for the purpose of hatch- ing conspiracies in Poland in the event of war iy, the East. NEW PARTY LINES IN ENGLAND. Speculation is rife here with regard to a Parila- mentary rumor which 1 in circulation that the con- servatives will divide into two parties in conse- quence of the well known difference existing between the Marquis of Salisbury and Lord Bea- consfield. It is also believed that the liberals will soon be divided into a Leftand a Left Centre, the one under the leadership of Mr. Gladstone, and the other under that of the Marquis of Hartington, RADICAL DISSATISFACTION, The Radical section of the liberals are greatly dissatisfied with Lord Hartington’s mediocre abill- ties as a leader and with the aristocratic tenden- cies he exhibits in his party management, AWAITING EVENTS, Generally speaking everything is dull in society in anticipation of the season which commences with the opening of Parliament, and people are in aread as to what may comg in the way of war and foreign complications. " INTEREST IN THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION. Very general interest is felt in the American Presidential question and there is a general expec- tation of a peaceful solution. The newspapers are congratulating America on the display of common sense, patriotism and respect for law shown in the present crisis andon the improving condition of | her financial position. It is admitted that America tanks second only to England in many of the mar- kets of Europe, THE ALABAMA SURPLUS. The question of the Alabama surplus is discussed | by the papers here. ‘The Spectator expresses the | hope that America, by repaying the surplus to | England, will show mankind an example of mag- nanimity, confirming the value of arbitration as a Method of settling international diMiculties, | THE QUEEN TO VISIT LONDON. ‘The Queen has announced her intention of spend- | ing a part of every week in London during the sea- son.

It 1s proposed to erect a suitable memorial to Lord Falkland, the second Viscount of the house, who was killed while fighting for Charies J. against the Parliament at the battle of Newbury, Septem- ber 20, 1633. He was described as a man of learn- ing, rich conversation and simple I!fe. Before the appeal to arms he attacked the extravagance and license of the Court, but took his stand under the banner of his royalmaster. The disturbed state of the country and the sight of England torn by civil War desolated his mind, and often he was known, when sitting among his friends, to start up out of a moody silence and cry “Peace” in a shrill voice, He was probably alittle crazed. Such is the man to be honored now, while old Noil is left to the darkness and the Dryasdusta, BIOLOGY.

STRAUSS AND THE FRENCH FIDDLERS. Brilfiant Opening of the Masked Ball Sea- son—A Fairy Scene, Theatre, Opera, Fashion—Rachel's Gis- ter—A Deathbed Joke, Se [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD. } HERALD BUREAU, 61 AVENUR DE LOPERA, Panis, Jan. 13, 1877, The diplomatic interest, which has been centred at Constantinople for some weeks past, is now «i- rected in turn to the various capitals of Europe to see, if possible, how the obstinate attitude of furkey is regarded by the great Powers. It has been admit- ted here, except by those Prussophobists who always look at the Empire of Germany as through a re- versed telescope, that the key of the astern ques- tion is kept in Prince Bismarek’s drawer. Due weight is givenon one hand to the just anger and racial sympathies which force Russia onward in her demands, while, on the other hand, the weight of England’s sword in a quarrel she undertakes in earnest ts conceded. With Germany, however, Temains the decision whether or no there shall be war. Russia could not begin hostilities in the face of Germany's disapproval, and England would have nothing to fight about if Turkey were let alone. All this gives the greatest importance to the latest piece of Conference news which reaches us from Berlin. . GERMANY SANCTIONS CONCESSION. Prince Bismarck, it seems, has despatched oracrs to the German Plenipotentiary, Baron Werther, re- laxing the rigid instructions which he trst received and on which he has acted in the Conterence, The orders sanction making certain concessions to Turkey, but what they are has not been revealed up to the present. This makes a great change in the situation. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Indeed, this piece of intelligence has been pieced with the unpreparedness of Russia and read by some as a timely service to the Czar by his uncle rather than, as it appears on its face, a desertion of Russia. “Until war is declared there is always a chance in diplomacy to return to one's first love, Germany will not desert Russia in the end,” said a vieur moustache this afternoon, who has served his country in the Cabinet as well as in the fleld,” The anMy ov THE PRUTH The stories from the Russian armies in the south. west of Russia indicate a widespread demoraliza- tion. Insubordination is spreading and the soldiers: are reported to be remorselessly plundering and maltreating their own countrymen, NOTHING WILL BE DONE. From all that can be learned it seems pretty plain that the Conterence will break up without | immediate result. The mountain will probably bring forth some kind of mouse, but it wilt be of the erpallest breed. LOVELY WEATHER. ‘The weather in Paris continues to be lovely. “oldest inhabitant” declares this winter the mildest he ever experienced. The trees in the Champs Elysées are actually showlug signs of spring time; everything is budding, even the hopes of the Turkish bondholder. NO NEW PLAYS, There have been no dramatic novelties worth mentioning during the past week. “Le Juil Polonais” is in rehearsal at the Ambigu-Comique. ONE OF A GREAT FAMILY. Sarah Felix, one of the four sisters of the great Rachel. has just died here at the comfortable age of fifty eight. She abandoned the stage long ago for the sale of perfumes and cosmetics. She used The Odéon, and made several trips through the prov- inces and abroad, spending a whole year in the United States, She taught old society dowagers how to make up their faces, and gave young belles the means to make themselves sweet. Substituting a bottle of holy water for one of eau de Cologne she died in the odor of sanctity. ALBAN. The snecess of Mile, Albani at the Italiens has been immense. Paris pronounces Albani, the American, the first prima donna of the world, Mme. Patti, of American education, being a phenomenon, and, therefore, apart from ordinary classification. STRAUSS OUTRAGED. Herr Johann Strauss, the musician, has sustained an outrage at the hands of the orchestra of the Bal Masqué during a rehearsal at the Grand Opera on ‘Thursday last, which the veteran musician of the dance feels deeply. Strauss is a foreigner, born at Vienna, where he made his chief successes, These facts have apparently rubbed out his long artistic ser- vices, When he took up the baton last Thursday he met with achilling reception from the musicians, who in the course of the playing wilfully distorted his music and set the poor mercurial little creature almost frantic, To make the insult more marked, | when their pronounced compatriot, Oliver Metra, as- sumed the baton they received him with prolonged “bravos” and played his music divinely, to show a contrast between the music by the Seine and that by “the beautiful bine Danube.” This scurvy kind of patriotism is very much in vogue in musical cir- cles here, A BRILLIANT BALL ‘The first bal masque de Vopera of the season is given to-night, The preparations are magnificent. ‘The great stage has been converted jnto anim- mense fower garden, the house 1s hong with daz- ving mirrors and 3,000 gas lights have been added to those already in the house, the whole producing, when the floor is filled with dancers in brilliant cos- tumes and the boxes with beantifal women and handsome men, a gorgeous effect.

Then he — decinres that he went to Davis and asked for his share, which the latter flatly refused to give him, Davis has stated that he did agree to give Bernstern $150 at first, but that, acting on the advice of counsel, he con later that $50 was enough to pay sor the servi : dered, and offered this sum to Bornstein.
