VOLUME VII.-NUMBER 1062. FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK BY TELEGKAPH THE STATE CAPITAL. THE MANDAMUS-THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES THAT THE RETURN MADE BY THE ACTING BOARD OF ALDERVEN TS SUFFICIENT - LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS-THE SAVANNAH AND CHARLES? TON RAH.HOAD BILL PA83ES THE SENATE. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DAILY NEWS.] COLUMBIA, January 22. -In tho Supreme Court thia morning, a motion was made by Mr. Corbin that the Acting Board of Aldermen of tho City of Charleston bo attached for con? tempt, unless they shill retort), on or before the 23th instant, a full compliance with the order as served upon them in the writ of roan damus. Counsel stated that they made tho motion in order to obtain the decision of the court as to the sufficiency o' the return. They claim? ed that the Acting Aldermen, in addition to the certificate made, should have certified that Pillsbury and the Aldermen elect having re? ceived the highest number of votes were, duly elected Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Charleston; that such declaration was neces sazyin order to place them in a position to assari their right to the offices by moins of a writ of quo warrante-. The coort held that tb 3 return as made was sufficient in law, and was equivalent to a decla laration by the Acting Board of Aldermen tba:, according to the returns of the managers, Gilbert Pillsbury and the Aldermen named were duly elected Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Charleston. General James Conner made an able argu ment against the motion. The counsel for the claiments said that they merely desired to bavo the decision of the urt, and expressed themselves entirely satisfied. IN THL SENATE the b'll to enable the Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company to complete their road, was passed unanimously. S wails, fi om the Military Commit tee .report ed back amended, with instructions proposed by Leslie, the bill to organize and govern tho militia. The Senate then went into executive session. IN THE HOUSE, Wells, recently elected member from Beaufort, qualified. Ihe House went into committee of the whole and was occupied up to adjournment in the discussion of the bill to amend the criminal Jaw. WAS HING TOA'. BEAUREGARD'S PROPERTY RESTORED - SENATO?

PARIS, January 22.-The conference has sent a messenger with the protocol to Greece, di? recting him to wait five days for an answer. CUBAN AFFAIRS. CUBAN INDEPENDENCE-DECLARATION OF THE LIBERAL PARTY OF CUBA-THE INSURGENTS ADVANCING ON PUERTO PRINCIPE-PROPOSED SURRENDES OF THU nrnrT.q-FURTHER PAR TTCULAR3 OF THE TELEGRAPHIC INJUNCTION. HAVANA, January 21.-At a meeting of lead? ing Liberal Cubans it was resolved unani? mously that Cubans should insist on the self government of thc island; that its independ? ence granted by Spain, with all the guarantees necessary to insure its permanency, would solve all the difficulties and evils which afflict the country. This resolution is regarded as a declaration of political faith of the Libe? ral party. The Prensa, reviewing an article on tho sub? ject in a Liberal paper, says ii tue Cuban party insist on continuing the fight against Spain, it lu?st he with the object either of throwing the island into tbe aims of the United States or of forming a republic separate from Spain. This reeders it necessary for Spaniards to reduoe them to loyalty by force of arms; but sbouldthc Spaniards be attacked by foreigners, aDd perhaps compelled by superior force to ieave tho island, they would leave it in ruins and a&hep. A letter from the American Consul at Nnevi tas, dated the llth, says that news had been rc coived there from Poerto Principo that tho rebel forces, six thousand strong, under Qu.es nda, were advancing on the city, which was-de? fended by Colonel Mena with three thousand insn. Ample preparations bad been made to receive the insurgents. The city was in a thorough condition of defence. In view of the intelligence from Bayamo, it was doubtful whether Quesada would persist in his movement. The Spanish commander was confident he could repulse any attack. Owing to a personal difficulty between Gen? eral Smith, president of the International Ocean Telegraph Company, and Mr. Dickerson, president of the Florida Bailroad, a judgo in Jacksonville, Florida, has issued an injunction against the Cabio Company, preventing them ?rom using their land line in the State ot Flo? ri 3a. f Io consequence of this proceeding the work ins of the wires was interrupted on Sonday and a portion of Monday. This suspension of communication created much cou f asi on, and caused no little damage to commerce between Chiba and the United States. It now appears the injunction has been partially removed. The Verdad, the new liberal journal, makes a severo attack upon the Spanish Bank. The same paper denounces tho attempts made this week to assassinate Spanish soldiers. TI:? Diario is itiormed that the rebel Gen? eral Jesus Perez onered to surrender himself and the forces under his command provided an unconditional pardon be granted. Tho Spanish general at Santiago has conceded these terms, and expects Perez will Boon give himself up. Authentic particulars of recent events and the condition of thc revolutionists, from Cuban sources, are wanting, and there are no means at present of confirming the news given above, which is derived largely from official dis? patches. Government advices state that the rebels were handsomely repulsed in an attempt to burn Manzanillo. SPARKS PROM TUE WIRES. A malignant sickness has broken out at Jueson, in Arizona. Nearly every one in the place has been attacked, and many have died. In the great murder trial in Philadelphia, Mn?. Twichel has been found not guilty. There is to be a gieat c.gricultural fair in Atlanta on the first Tuesday in February. Several resolutions looking to the preserva? tion of the rights of the colored race, were voted down in the Georgia Legislature yes? terday. Tho Florida Legislature has repealed thc act authorizing the Governor to establish a detec? tive for?a throughout the State. AFFAIRS Hf ORASGEB URO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. OBAKOEBUBO, S. C., January 21.-After an arduous session, thc court finished the docket to-day. Judge Carpenter has left a most favor? able impression upon the minds of every one whose privilege it was to attend the sitting. This being sentence day, an unusual interest was manifested by many of both races. The prisoners, convicted severally of grand and petty larceny, burglary and rescuing prisoners, were in turo arraigned, for sentence. His Hon? or, with eloquent fervor, dwelt upon the crines which demanded punishment at the hands of justice, reviewed the condition of society it lawlessness went unwhipt, painted the contrast between prosperity, peace and happiness inci? dent to virtue and obedience to law, and mise? ry, beggary and degradation consequent to crime; then with solemn language he passed sentence upon each as his crime merited. All present were satisfied, and more so were the unfortunate culprits, that crime must bo sup? pressed in the judgment of this court. They (rho foolishly regarded freedom as license, and bad been the dupes of bad advisors, and with violence defied the dignity of the common? wealth, received their doom with the convic? tion that "tho way of the transgessor is hard." all the cases were against colored people, and it is due to the mass of that race to say, that they deprecate, while they pity, the conduct of their fellows. The moral effect of this day's proceedings will have a happy influe ice. QUELQUEFOIS. TUE STATE PRESS. TEE THtKD DI8T2ICT. Tho Nawberry Herald publishes extracts rom the protest of Judgo Hogc, the defeated ?andidato for Congress from the Thud District >f this State, and says: We do not propose to enter into a refutation >f the charges against the good people of New >erry, contained in this protest. But we can ?ot allow them to go forth without an unquali ied denial of these truths from beginning to md. The last election in Newberry passed off is quietly as anv that was ever held within its ?mi ts. The good order that prevailed through rat the district was tho subject, not only'of reneral remark, but of congratulation. We 10 not pretend to deny that a large number o' aegro voters remained away from the p JIIB, trat not for the reason assigned by Solomon L. Soge. It was net violence, nor threats of vio? lence, that kept them away. It was the result if a proper view of what their true interests required them to do. THE PROSPECTS AHEAD. The Marion Crescent urges the farmers and planters to secure an ample supply of gram; f the cotton crop is short, the pnce will make ip the deficiency, and if tho prices should be ow, with well-filled barns there will be no uiuse for fear. The Crescent says: From the immense quantity of fertilizers kbout our depot, we augur that our thrifty banters are preparing largely for the coming ;rop. We tear that much of these prepara :ions have boen stimulated by the hi? li price of he crop of 18C8, and ns faithful chroniclers we ivould not bo discharging our d%ties without lounding a note of warning to those who think hat their fortunes he in a large cotton crop 'OT 1869. Look at the year 1867; then cotton in Janu iry and February ranged as now, from 25c to 15c. What was the result ? Every one who :ould raise money to get credit rushed into a arge colton c op, those having nothing but sredit paying high pi ices tor provisions at tab? lions rates of interest, as well as high prices :'orlabor. Let tho experience of the talland sinter ot 18G7-H answor. Tho crop was forced nto market carly through the stress of liens br advances, bringing net from 9 to 12 couts, md the man who went on credit found himself leeper in debt, aud he who worked on the cash iriuciple at tho end of the year with his pockets :mpty, and not provisions enough to get brough halt the year. This lesson taught caution, and in 1868 the irovision crop was looked after, while cotton vas the auxiliary crop, the effect of this was ligher prices aud more money for five bales han for ten to fifteen last year. THE FD TUBE OF UNION. The Union Times is encouraged by the pur hase of water power made by Senator Jprague, and says: 11 Columbia prospers, we, too, will prosper; mt not in proportion, so long as our prospen y merely arises from a railroad connection nth a prosperous place beyond us. Union ,'ounty, though, has water power equal to tho Columbia Canal, and which can be made avail .bio at a far less ontlay. But who knows it outside of Union ? And rho outside of Union over will know it if it is pfc to this journal to inform them ? We have no suggestions to make; we merely tato facts. Union has a climate and. water ?ower unsurpassed anywhere; and mineral realth, which cannot be developed without upital. Cnoital Tr oui distant States has been ittracted to Columbia; why may it not De at ructeJ bore if our resources at e made known r A VALUABLE INVENTION. Tho Newberry Herald gives thc following lescription of a new apparatus for lowering (oats, invented by Mr. Thomas Mortemcr, of dewberry : This revolving apparatus with its screw ila'.e, lcv-r and shalt, is of simple yet most iowerful construction. It is revolved inwutd y to the hurrict.no deck, where tho passengers ire safely stowed in the bolts, and thenrevoi cd outwardly and over tho side of tho ship. In officer standing upon tho platform, watches lis opportunity and upon the rising cap of a avormg wave, touches the trip line aud away joes the boat clear of tho vessel, and upon my angle, with the momentum of the ship in ha boat aud her passengers. Or the boat nay be allowed to descend, ? nd as soon as she loes she instantly detaches herself. But one ninute is consumed in dispatching a boat con? dining twenty-live passengers; thus in five muutes one hundred and twenty-five passen? gers are released. The boat cannot descend jiher than iu a horizontal position, let the ex? citement and terror be what il may there can oe no irregularity in the lowering and detach? ing of the boat. Io thc ordinary davit two men are employed, and it often happens that ineof them lowersfastcr than tho other, and the boat enters the water end foremost, pre? cipitating its inmate? into the sea. FROM THE STATE CAJPITAX. The Mandamus- Tile Railroad Case Th? Chantres in the Criminal Law General L?gislative Proceedings, ?vc. [FROM 00B OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] COLUMBIA, S. C., January 21.-Toe argu? ment in the mandamus case, on the motion for a rule upon the Acting Board of Aldermen, will be argued before tho Supremo Court to morrow by General James Conner for the Board of Aldermen, and by Messrs. Corbin and Chamberlain for the claimants. Notice of a motion was given in the Supreme Court to-day by General James Conner for a prohibition to airest proceedings in the case of thc South Carolina Bailroad vs. Columbia and Augusta Bailroad until tho respectivo rights of the two companies shall have been heard and determined by the Supreme Court. Some day next week will, doubtless, bc fixed for hearing the argument. The Governor gave a public reception this evening to the various State officers and mem? bers or the Legislature. Tho debates in both branches of thc General Assembly are daily growing warmer and more interesting, but rather too prolific for the good of the Treasury Department. As a general thing, however, there i3 ovident a laudable desire on the part of members hf both houses that the important measures now np for dis cussion shall receive full consideration before becoming laws. Such to-day was the subject under consideration in the House, namely, the bill to alter and amend tho criminal law. Tho great question was on the abolition of capital punishment in all cases except of wilful murder. The general sentiment is undoubted!; in favor of tho proposition as in keeping with the progress of the ago. It un y be curious I ' to observe that the stronges. opposition comes from those to the manor born, while its warm est advocates aro those white and colored who li ave but recently made South Carolina their home. The bill, it will be remembered, origin? ated in the Senate, whore it was introduced by f Mr. Corbin. lu that body the most active and f I determined opponent)) were Ruinoy, of George? town; Mash, of Richland; Hayne, of Marion. The two former made tho moet strenuous efforts to except the crime of rape from the operations of the bill, while in the House Dc Large mado tho most determinod opposition . to tho measure, and moved to amen-i section 11 1 as follows : Insert after the word "murder," on first line, printed bill, "rape or burglary where tho party attempts to take lifo by weapons of any kind, or by administering chloroform or any corapo- I t sition irom which unconsciousness or death may ensue." The debate on this proposed amendment continued in the House to-day up to thc hour of adjournment. The bill introduced in the House by Smalls, of Beaufort, entitled "A bill to entoreti tho Civil Bights bill of tho United States Congress," is almost identically tho anti? discrimination bill of the special session which passed the House at that timo, but was defeat' ed in the Senate. The following are its provi? sions: SECTION 1. That from and after tho pausaste of this bill it shall not be lawful for common carriers, or any party or parties engaged in any business, calling or pursuit for the carry iug on of which a license or charter is required by law, municipal, State, Federal or otherwise to discriminate between persons on account of race, color or previous condition, who shall matte la wful application for tho benefit of suoh business, calhng or pursuit. SEC. 2. Any party so discriminating shall be considered as having violated this act, and, upon conviction, shall bo punished by a fino o? not less than two hundred dollars, or im prisonment for not less than six months. SEO. 8. No act of incorporation shall be con? ferred upon any organization the rules and regulations of wbicb contain features not com? patible with tho provisions of this act. SEO. 4. All acts or parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed. Crews presented the accounts of J. G. Trayn ham, M. D., for post mortem examination!. Referred to the Medical Committee. Sasportas introduced a bill to amend an act entitled "An act to pr?vido tor the temporary organization of the Educational Department of the Stato of South Carolina. Bead tho first timo and referred to thc Committee on Educa? tion. The Senate bill to chanco the location of the county neat of Barnwell County from Barnwoll Courthouse to Blackville, was read the first time, and referred to thc Committee on thc Ju? diciary. A bill to amend an act entitled "An act to fix the salary and regulate tho pay of certain officers" was read the first time and referred to the Committee ou Ways and Means. IN THE SENATE, Ruiney presented the peti? tion of A. Von Dohlen, of Charloston, praying to be refunded taxes overpaid. Belerred to tho Committee on Finance. Lunney gave notice of a bill to incorporate the Macedonian Baptist Church, of Darling? ton, S. C. WrUrht gave notice of a bill to renew an act entitled "Au act to authorize thc formation of limited partnerships." Mr. Jdlson introduced a bill to extend the time in which tho Camden Bridge Company may rebuild their bridge. S-vails introduced a bill to amend section 139 of an act providing for the assessment and taxation of property. Tho bill received its first reading, and was ordered for a second reading and consideration to-morrow. A bill to alter and amend an act entitled "Au act to incorporate tho Vilta?o oi King^t re J. "re? ceived its third reading, passed, and was order? ed lo bo sent to the House ot Representatives. On motiou of Lunney, tho ?ouato took up ior consideration tho uolavorable report of the Committee on Finance on a bill to increase the salaries of the Justices of thc Supremo Court and of the Circuit Judges. The bill recoived its second reading, and was taken up for consideration by sections. Mr. JilLion moved to amend Section 1, in thc third line of the printed bill, the words ' live hundred," so as to read "Chief Justice five thousand dollars," in lieu of "five thousand five hundred." The amendment was agreed to. Hayne moved that section 1 be stricken out. The motion was not agreed to. On motion of Bainey, the voto whereby the Senate amended section 1, by striking out the words "five hundred,'' was reconsidered. Mr. Jdlson withdrew the motion to strike out tho words "five hundred" from the third lin- of section 1. Mr. Leslie moved to amend section 1. in tho third line, by striking out the word "five" be? fore the word "thousand," and inserting in lieu thereof the word "four," so as ;o read, "Chief Justice four thousand five hundred dol? lars." On division, the Senate voted yeas 12, nays, 8; so tho amendment was agreed to. Mr. Corbin moved to further amend noction 1, in tho fourth line, by striking out tho words "five thousand," and inserting in lieu thereof thc words "four thousand three hnndr.d." eo as to read, "Associate Justices each four thou? sand three hundred." Mr. Leslie moved to amend tho atnen?ment of the senator from Charleston by stnkiug out the words "three hundred." Tho question was then taken on agreeing to tho amendment to tho amendment and decided in the affirm?t iva, and the section, as amend? ed, was agreed to. Nash moved lo amend section 2, in Hie second lino, bv striking out tho words "lour | t tuousuid," and inserting in lieu thereof tho words "three thousand five hundred," so as io read Circuit Judges each "three thousand five hundred dollars." Pending the consideration of tho amend? ment thc Senate adjourned. THE BLUE RLDOE BAILROAD.- ilia Ander? son Intelligencer eay3 : The president of this road arrived home on Monday night last, aDd speaks hopefully of the prospects for an early resumption of the work.

George's Society of Charleston, over which i have tho honor to preside Theso r?solu ions were proposed and unanimously adopted X a mooting of tho society hold on the 23d nat., il being tho first meeting for tho trans? ition of business that had been held sinco Hr. Lawton had placed in my hands your much 'alued present and kind accompanying note. Considering the interest you have manifest id for our association in presenting the mcm )ers with a St. George's Cross, and in exprcss ng the wish that that symb >1 may "servo to lemont tho feeling of mutual association and wotection," I may, perhaps, bo permitted to ay boforo you tho condition of tho society, md mention the class of persons among whom t bestows its bounty. At tho breaking out nf tho lato desolating rar this society had amassed about $12,000, vhich were invested in State and city bonds, md in tho stock of various banks. That .mount formed two funds, one of about $10,000, he income of ? hich was devoted to the pay ncut of sundry annuities to the widows of leccased members, to accumulation, and to ;indred otLer claims upou its general benevo en e. Tho inc'.mo uf tho other fund, of about :2000, VT ? -pplieablo to the relief of transient Jnglishinen in distress. The first fund was ilniost wholly lost by the rosult of thc war, vhich rendered insolvent every bankin? insti ution in tho Southern country. The latter nnd, consisting ot Slate and city bonds, still las existence ; but as neither tho State nor ity have paid interest upon thoir indebted loss sineo tho war, the society is without its 1 tsual income, and unable to liston to tho many ppltcations made for relief. This last is a matter which, I think, may very iroperly bc brought to tho notice of the benev- ' ilent in England, for tho charity tho society ' icsto ws is not for Iho relief of a foreign popul? ation, who aro free to apply to institutions ex sting in their own country, but for the relief ! if Englishmen who, from no wilful fault of their 1 iwn, are homeless and penniless strangers, 1 rithout employment, and unable to return to 1 heir own country. By a gratuity of a few dol? are to such, the society has often raisod wor hy persons from the depths of misery and dc- 1 pah; and it becomes a question whether the 1 ociety may not well ask the benevolent in Eng- 1 ind to aid them in their efforts to rcliove tho English poor in Charleston. Mr. Christopher 1 Llkmson, of Aybruth, in Liverpool, a member 1 I the society, will, I am sure, listen to any uugestiun you may bc pleased to offer flat 1 aay eventually improvo tho society's means ' ur usefulucse.

P. WALKER, H. M. Consul, Pro4id"nt. LANJJ AND LAHOR J.V GEORGIA. Wo take thc following paragraphs from a:i n tores ting Mucoa (Ga.) letter, published in he New York Times : There aro indications of a reluctance on the ?art of freedmen to contract for tho next year. Choy have got tho idea that freedom is not iompatible with an obligation to work twelve nonths under thc direction "of a white mm." L'hoy recognize tho nocessity lor labor, but vant to work hythe month orto "job about for twhile," and having ready cash in their pock ?ts, do not feel thc value"of time. To some .'xtsnt this feeling is attributable lo a .aguo idea that something wonderful will nippen when " Massa Giant comes in," md that lo enjoy that something to .ho highest degree-, it is essential nut to JO "tied down by no contract with a white nan." In a few days, however, the storekeep? ers in tho towns and villages will have got mos*, if not all tho negroes' money for brass-headed ::ines, accord?ons, flutes, firo-cracker?, hoop ?hirts, waterfalls, and tho gaudiest articles of female raiment, and when tho money is ou: will return and contracts will be made. The long-mooted case of money-wiges versus a 3hare of tho crop is etill undecided. Wages would be the best mole of compensation IU the interest of the planter, if the negro would work, and the negro would be bettor satisfied and would sooner learn the value of money and of economy. Bat the share in the crop', dividing the risk and making the laborer's profit dependent on his industry, is found to be the safest And best. An immense area will Lo planted in cotton next year. The incentive of twenty-five cents per pound ia irresistible. Every one is going to plant who has an acre of ground, and every one seems confident that "cotton will never fall again below twenty cents." I am much afraid that provision crops will be neglected, and that the suffering of 1867 will be experienc? ed again. But it is idlo to talk or give advice. "Sell cotton at $100 a bale and buy corn at seventy-five cents or$l,"is the invariable reply to the sagest counsel. The mule drovers, who this timo last year wero the most disconsolate and disappointed set of men I ever saw, are now tho most choor tnl and contented. They have sold their stocks readily at high prices, and the cry is still they como. Good medium mules, from five to seven years old and broke, bring readily from one hundred and seventy-five dollars lo two hun? dred dollars. The dealers in fertilizers are very active. There are hundreds of phos? phates, and superphosphates, ammoniated raw bones, and dry bones, and ground bones, and flour of bones advertised as "tho very best manure for colton." All sorts of guano, vast? ly superior to Peruvian, are offered for sale in evory direction, and tho newspapers are filled with daming acoounts of the surprising effects of these stimulants to production. All this shows prosperity, and promises well, unless it is overdone. The eagerness to "go to work and make something is universal. Arrangements are being made to erect several cotton and paper mills. The coal mines are being worked more extensively and more pro? fita oly than heretofore. Business in the towns and cities has not been 8.? active since the war closed. Every one has money excopt the law? yers and the editors. Bailroad enterprises aro in every stago of embryo construction, from the bare project to the advertisement for proposals to build the first twenty miles. Poli? ticians alone look gloomy, shake their heads, and are apprehensive, tho Democrats fearing that the-Congress will pasa the Edmunds' bill or something lino it, and tho Bullock party fearing that Congress "wou't do noth? ing." FAUtlS. . MOBALS, MANNER AND MIND. V Startling Picture of Life In the French Metropolis. The following article was published in a late number of tho London Athenoum : The French will not read their classics. The young man of the present day has nevor mas? tered a page of Corneille. I find, for my own part, that the Babelais is more talked about in English than in French society. The classic dramatists are known only so far tts they are acted; and there are plenty of young gentlemen on tho Boulevards who shrug their shoulders at the Theatre Fran?ais, and crack their little lokes when Racino is on thc stage. They are Tor Offenbach and Schneider, and aro moro pleased to get at the scandalous memoirs ot the Grand Duchesse than they would be to bear that a couple of new masterpieces by Moliere had been discovered. Romance fills the salon, the boudoir, and tho bedroom. The bridal chamber is the comic scene. The hus? band is the buffoon. The children are the privileged and malignant observers of their mothers' peccadilloes. These are the ingre? dients which aro served up in a hundred forms, and Bupply all the reading of the mothers who are pictured, or the husbands who are tho habitual subjects of dishonor, and of the lover who makes his friend's wife his mistress. The poisonous, pestilent stuff is presented to the roaders as portraiture of themselves and their neighbors; and they are far from repudiating it. Amateur and professional immorality are tho dishes, in tho preparation of which M. Aloxttnder Dumas/to ia the Jules Goude of his epooh-leading a crowd of minor cuds. Whatever may be isaid of the political time of Nap deon III, the popular literature of his day will, it is fondly hoped, be repudiated by an indignaut pjsterity as almost incredibly coarse and profligate. It most, however, be accepted as painting the living manners. Re? garded as ho ding the mirror up to living na? ture, does it net explain why it is the learned salons have passed away-why audiences laugh instead of hissing when amusing forms and whims of adultery are set helor them-and why feminine cheeks do not tame when Mar? guerite Gauthier talks ? People a suite of rooms with the creations of your younger Du? mas, and would you expect to find Montaigne, Corneille, Rabelais,Moliere and Racino upon the tables ? You might rather incline to search for Faublas in a cupboard ? If not in Paris-scattered in odd nooks and corners ot France ; living on hermit fare in petty colleges and seminaries; keeping school, or eodurins the private tutcr'a fife, or oxile there is still a goodly public of French scholars -lovers of the essay, tho philosophical trea? tise, the scientific speculator, tho historian and the moralist. This public is the salt of the Froneh soil. Without lt society would have the livid hues of death. I warrant that the publisher of the Almanac of the General Cy? clopaedia will not sell a copy along the Boule? vard Malesherbes, save, mayhap, to one letter? ed Englishman who Uves there; but over the water, in very dingy professors' apartments, and among the few students whu mean work, it will command tho expenditure of a franc. It is written by serious men for serious meo. The attempt to produce such a work in theee days is a most praiseworthy because a most adventurous one. It will gauge the intellectual depth of the rising generation, and discover how many young men theio aro left in Franco with ideas beyond the Bois, the Cafe Ancl?is, tho Jockey Ciub, and Mabile for th sir youth, and the orthodox profligacy of p lite society tor tboir ru tdd lo lifo. Henry Fouquicr, in his dialogue on the Morality of Yesterday and To-Day, says as "Moi:" "That which enrages me ts to see that our city has been made into a ville enlrelenue, whero the vices of the world come to make themsolve comfortable." And again, contrast? ing the Mabile of to-day with the Porcl.erons of Didorot's time, he remarks: "lhat which saddens mo to-day ia the coolness of your de? bauchery. It is as regular as your streets and barracks, with govornors and subjects." The peep into the picture shops is not without a reflection across the Chanuol, where, I am sorry to hear, some shameless beauty is on ovorybody's hps, and in tho albums of many who pretend to tho homely virtues. "Lot us look about us I In the shop win? dows, next to che portrait of the Pope, we con? template tho faces of the droUsses whom wo adore. Hore they are, with dabs of red upon their hollow cheeks, as boys; legs in the air as at the balls, to which they attract the foreign? ors. We enter tho theatres. Wo shall see two hundred nudo figurantes, with shortest petti? coats, with false calves, which cheat tho au? dience as indicating beauties that th? poor girls do not possess. All this lives I cannot toll how, and Bleeps I cannot toll whero-but not ai Fort 1'Evequo, as in our (Diderot's) lime." Further: "At tho rate wo are going, we Shall have 'Justino' read to our childron." He. i ry Fouquior declares French society is not quito so vicious, ho wo ver, aa most obser? vers imagine it to be. Education bas s.-road, it is true; but it is among tho odjrated that tho stain is deopost. Ho says: .'Circumstan 038 have compelled tho miss of tho nation which is sound, laborious aud moral-to give thc wall to a few greedy and vain pleasure seekers. These are tho folk lo whom atten? tion ki exclusively given, aud who fill tho newspapers; and by tucas wo aro all judged." "Cultivate tho domestic virtues." Charlos Lamb Write?; "they will brim; you poace at tho last." Aud, pray, what crop will tho cultiva? tion of tho vicos" bring? This is the question which gives bad quartors-of-an-hour to the sober and lettered Frenchman at this moment. *r NABBIW ESO.VPE Fitoic SHIPWRECK.-The stoaniship Columbia, Captain Cs.ru.eig in, which loft New York on November 28, with a large and valuable cargo and bcvonty-iivo passen? gers (sixty-three stcorage and twelve cabin), exclusivo of tho crew, s semi to have narrowly escapod foundering, from a cxase similar to that which lcd to so Jisastrou-i a result in the rase of thc Hibernia. When seven days at sea, tho propeller ot tho stoainer bjcamo uaoloss, owing to thc pin starting out. The capUin, ou being mido acquainted with the mishap, directed tho crew to try and raiso tho propel? ler, and not to inform the passengers or alarm them. The crew worked incessantly for a day and a night, but their efforts were unsuccess? ful, and thc water in the after part of the ship lose to tho depth of sixteen foot. The cap tatu, seeing that the Btoamor waa in a disabled condition,"had tho most valuablo part of the cargo pu i into small boats, ana noa deter? mined on directing the passengers to prepare to abandon the vessel, when as a last resort, a number of chains were procured, and passen? gers and crew worked together in lifcing np the propeller, and tying it in its original posi? tion. The sails were then set, and the steamer was worked at the rate of two or three knots an hour. Signals of distress were unceasingly made, and sailors took the watch on the top of the masts on the lookout for passing vessels; but up to the twelfth day of the voyage no vessel answered the signals. The passengers stated that the City of Antwerp passed them by, but refused to give any assistance. The provisions, which were only sufficient for an ordinary fortnight's voyage, began to get scarce, hut the passengers showed the utmost fortitude, and were content with half the usual allowance. The propeller fortnnately kept in its position, and the captain was enabled, by the favorable nature of the wind, to steer his vessel into Queenstown.
