Thirteen more Spanish gunboats are ready to go to sea from New York. -Two old and Influential London newspapers have suspended publication, and every year the field of journalism in thc metropolis of England ls being opened up to the London Times and Tele? graph-le via tuna concerns, which, through able and admirable e<:itonul and business manage? ment, nave steadily grown in wealth and Impor? tance ever since their Institution.

Three per cent, of the money, lt is stated, was to have been paid Janu? ary 1, and the work ls to be completed within two years. -The -'pneumatic tube" under Broadway ls causing trouble. Thc street above it has sunk from six to nine inches, and there is some discus? sion upon the subject or closing the street to travel until thc matter can be investigated, as danger to human lire is apprehended. Hie Mayor or New York has attempted to have an ex? amination made, but thc agent sent by him ror the purpose was repulsed. Thc work goc3 on still, and the company ls apparently determined to defy interference. At any rate no person au? thorized by the city government is allowed to visit the work, but the Mayor ls aroused on thc subject, i id declares his intention to prevent thc prosecution of the labor unless it shall be proved not to endanger life and property. -The English iron-clad frigate Monarch, with the remains of George Peabody on board, is under orders to make her voyage under hair steam, when the wind ls unfavorable, and under sail alone when the wind ls propitious. This is done because her coal-bunkers will only hold enough fuel ror six days' steaming. The United States corvette Plymouth will keep in sight or the Monarch as eonvoy during thc entire voyage, and the runeral fleet Is expected to arrive at Portland about thc 15th Instant, where lt will be joined by the iron-clads Mlantonomah and Terror, rrom New York and Boston. As soon as the Monarch ls signalled off Portland our iron clads will fire a funeral salute from their colossal fifteen-inch guns, which will be answered from the Monarch and Plymouth. -Mrs. Irwin, a sister ol Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, ha3 secured a patent ror an Improvement lu the construction or houses which, lt ls claimed, will create a new era in architecture. Mrs. Irwin proposes six-walled or hexagonal apartments, which are not only much handsomer, but really cheaper thau the quadrangular form. A wall of eighty reel built lu Hie hexagonal Torni includes a third more space than thc same length or wall built in thc square rona; and as these hexagonal rooms fit into each other without loss or space, thc gaiu in thc whole building is very great. The patentee also claims that this mode or building gives a greater degree or strength than any other, and that this mode of building, lu thc hands or a good architect, ls capable of assuming greater artistic beauty than the square or quadrangular form. Thc octagonal building attracted a good deal of attention some years ago, but the hexago? nal ls claimed to be something entirely new. Christian Mc<Tiue%-. The preacher of tho sensational school must he. like Yorick, "a feUow of inllnitc lan? gey." He must koop himself well acquainted witli thc events of tho time?. Ho must yield us readily to thc changeful public humor .as thc chnmclion to the color of the object on which it chances to crawl. He must possess the gift of sudden surprises, which ensures the success of the author and actor, upon quite a different stage. And above all, he must keep in assiduous exercise a power of iuvention equal to that of a novelist, a Congressman, a Radical historian, or the editor of Harper's Weekly. In all bliese particulars Mr. Beecher is richly gifted. His discourses are quite as novel and entertaining in their way as his story about Norwood. He can find any fact to suit any subject, andean draw any subject from any text within the lids of the Bible. Thus, for example, on the day after Christ? mas he delivered a pulpit euloginm upon the conduct of thc United Stales Government during the late war. This served to intro? duce u glowing tribute to Ute memory of Mr. Stanton, the most irascible and despotic of public ministers. Aud Mr. Beecher took for his text the fifth chapter of Matthew's gospel and the fifth verse: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." He claimed that the unselfishness of thc War Secretary, and the virtue and endurance of the American people, entit'e them to the benediction pronounced by thc great teach? er. The ono would rank with the greatest men of his time; thc other would overspread the Coutinent, if not the whole earth. We shall have to revise our dictionaries. This word meek has been strangely misun? derstood. At present it is a little odd to say: Mr. Beecher meekly armed the roughs of Brooklyn, and dispatched them with Christian philippics and Sharpe's rifles to shoot some of their fellow-countrymen in Kansa3. Mr. Stanton meekly imprisoned hundreds of civilians in tho bastiles of the government; meekly denied medicine to the dying prisoners in Andersonville; meekly urged on thc execution of the innocent Mrs. Surratt, and meekly blustered and bullied for years at the war-office-being touched with tito gracious spirit of the beatitudes. And '.The American people" meekly overwhelm? ed thc seceding South in fire and blood, and ? piously carried oil'ship-loads of rebel furni? ture, wagon loads of rebel silver, and bush- : els upon bushels of rebel watches and rings . and brooches-in obedience to the require? ments of the Sermon on the Mount, which blesses them because they are meek, and ' freely gives them the inheritance of the earth. We beg Mr. Beecher's pardon for saj ing that these villainously virtuous assumptions 1 remind us of a character of 6ome notoriety 1 in fiction, by name Uriah Heep. The con? fession made by this worthy in jail is Mr. Beecher's sermon in brief: "You knew mc , "wheu, in spite of my follies I wa3 'umblc "among them that was proud, and meek "among them that was violent." The paral? lel is so exact, that one might almost think . that Uriah had escaped from the prison at Pentonville, clear-starched, and found his way into the pulpit of the Plymouth Church. Not a Bad Idea. The German Workingmcn's Union, of New > York, an association composed of delegates representing twenty-two distinct 'Trades' 1 Unions, is acquiring a good name for prac? ticability. Although but a short time in ex? istence, the association has already inaugu ted several important measures, among ' others, that of the erection of a Trades' 1 Union hall; tho assistiug in thc good work of erecting the German Hospital, the board of directors of which is to contain a Trades' Union representative; and thc getting up of . a course of free lectures in German, design? ed to instruct workingmen in thc great : principles of thc labor problem now in the course of solution. The New York Star hu3 more than once urged upon the working? men of that city the importance of a course i of lectures designed for workingmen, but, beyond an occasional lecture, nothing bas as yet been dono by the English speaking j Unions, and the inauguration of thc move? ment has been left with thc German Unions. The German Workingmtn's Union seldom ? enters upou a movement of this character I without carrying it through to u practical ' issue, and it is therefore safe to predict that the proposed course of lectures will have a speedy inauguration. We understand that it is the intention of the Union to secure the services of tba most enlightened German Trades' advocates in thc country, who will select for the theme of their dis.ourses topics now uppermost in thc minds of tho working masses. A committee of nine has been ap? pointed to take charge of thc matter, and it is probable that thc first locturo of the course will be given some time in February. Thc people of the South especially need instruction upon Free Trade, Trades' Unions, co-operative and industrial copart? nership*. These are lite great question? of the day, and wc wish that speakers could be found to explain and discuss them in this State for the benefit of all classes of the community. Tbe Catspaivs of Spain. There are some circumstances connected with thc seizure of thc steamship "Anna," the so-called Cuban privateer, to whicli we desire to call attention. The United States Marshal took posses? sion of the "Anna" on Wednesday, and the next day began an examination of tho ship, which might have been completed in four hours, and was to be completed by this morn? ing. We are informed that when Captain Som? ers visited the "Anna" yesterday, he found that a mun, who appeared to be a Spaniard, was engaged in searching that vessel. Tho United States Marshal explained that this man was his expert, but the mate of the '.Anna" i-ave information that the man went down to the ship shortly ufter r> consultation bud been hud between thc Spanish Consul ami the United States Marshal. When ques? tioned closely by Captain Somers, thc man admitted that "be was a Spaniard, and was "sent down to thc vessel by the Spanish Con? bul." This statement was made in thc pre? sence of several witnesses. From this il is clear enough that the Span? ish authorities have been working to gain time, or to delay the "Anna" until they can have a trap set for her henoiit. One oilier fact is very striking, it is that a Spaniard, an agent or spy of (he Spanish Consul, is doing thc work which Hie United States Marshal ought to bo able to do for himself In American waters, under Hie American Hag. a Spaniard is allowed to pry and peer into the cabins and lockers of an American vessel. This may be diplomatic, but it is hardly decent. We have fallen low enough, but it was hoped that tho ofllcers of thc Uni? ted States would not allow themselves, or bt allowed, to become tho catspaws of Spain. -?-? ???????? British Periodicals.
