BERLIN, December 9. A serious anti-war riot, caused by resistance to draft of married men, has occurred. Thc police were unable to quell lt. It was Anally quelled by the military u-lug severe measures. VERSAILLES, December 9. Beaumont, Mazas and Beaugency have been evacuated by the French. NEW YORK, December 12. Tne Herald's Berlin special, cf the Otb, says: "Bismarck denies opposition to bombardment. It Ls reported that a connell or war at Versailles has decided to bombard Paris."

Beaugency was occupied on tho Sch and Vcrsoa to-duy." LONDON, December 10. A report from General Chansey, dated Thurs? day cvenlug, the 8th says: .?Prince Frederick Charles again attacked us to day, along the whole line. We held our positions throughout; thc day.

The seven hun? dred and iifty thousand workingmen and women do notUiu/ but lia m mer at cannon, mould bullets and blud wounds. Still an acquaintance who came out in thc last squad of Americans says that thc opera is certainly to bc opened shortly at Paris, and that cantatas of liberty will bc sung there. At thc Francais the other day, the "Misan? thrope" was pur upon thc stage, the gentlemen appearing In costume de ville. Hie nmst drama? tic city lu tho world cannot keep Its theatres long closed. Although thc ladies all dress In sombre colors, and thc audience-rooms aro lighted trim candles, Ute people manage to bc very Jolly. Mademoiselle Agar, frosh, piquant beauty ! may all bombs spare thee ! recites the Marseillaise, with the tears in her great black eyes. The street peddlers snarl out, "Correspondence or thc Imperial ramily ! Om: sou !" Old ladles Bell candie ends which they have hoarded for many months, and now they get exorbitant prices for them, because no one knows how soon light may bc greatest of luxuries. Republican songs ?md dubiously moral caricatures-but quite as moral as were ruc persons whom they carica? ture- appear in thc show windows. The Omni? busses run from Bicetre uudiT fire down lu the city, and hacks ply in the same dreamy, devil may-care fashion All good citizens now confine themselves to bread und coffee, and let the weaker and p lorer have the meat. The vegetarians arc lu ecstacles. The poor servant women and sewing-girls-you will remember that I have once given you mi id a what these lata er earn-are sufferluir terribly in thc siege. Many of them, in thc hurry,*and m- lee, can get nothiug to eat; their last bit ol' money ls gone, and anlerne or the hospital Ls their onlv re? lief. The r.mnhcr of self-murders docs not seem to have been so large since the investment of Paris SB before. This is a somewhat noteworthy fact. Thc excitement probably makes misery somewhat more supportable. Thc Perils of the Air. Thc Landwehr employed in thc .investment of Verdun enjoyed a new and exciting sport during the continuance of a strong .southwesterly gale which ble v on tho 25th and two diys rollowiug, and carried two btlloons from Paris in that direction, In each of which the g is was escaping. The first perceived was on the afternoon of the 25th, and came so c ose to a part of the investing lines, us ?o bc within eas* rl?c range, uutii thc voyagers suddenly bethought themselves o. tho laai desperate expedient, of throwing their freight overboard, nt.d by discharging in succcS'lon seven large pack'iges or letters and papers, rosv steadily out or tue reach or danger, and passed onwanl toward Luxembourg. Among His con tents of,the captured journals was found Du crol'a report nf the Versailles s >rtic of the 21st, admitting the loss of 433 officers and men. and or the t wo Tour-pounder-; captured by Hie Prus? sian skirmishers. There werealso ion* dispatches from Hie War ?illce of Paris to that uf Tours. Gu the27ilt thc same scene was repeated, only tba1 this Hine Hie ?cr.maius were not so fortunate. Bundie arter bundle was thrown down from a balloon which caine toward thc German Hues, liv? ing very low, and which continued tu descend so rapidly thai, the passengers lu lt round 'h-lr hopes of getting out ol rouge in vain, a-id descended voluntarily by means of ropes, after which the balloon nguiu rose n..d went on. They prove ? to be u?e man In a s >rt or uniform, who said be be? longed to a corps of teronauts. and re'ii<ed to give any Information further, and two others, one of whom stai d he was an Englishman aud who both claimed to be simple civilians bent on escap? ing from tba beleaguered capital. These sal t they had pal I ?1-0 each for tne'r passage, and were ready to afford such informa1 lon as they had. They declared they und come from Paris In three hoot Band a quarter, or at ?he rate of about forty live miles an hour. They gave a bail report of thc maikcis ol Paris, especially of the meat supplies, the prices of which wen: ribing dully. They had newspapers with them of tue day's date, priutcd, however, probably tue night before. A fourth person was with them, but he h id refused to de? scend Into captivity, and the llglitcued balloon had carried him up and on? aid again. Running thc Paris Blockade-The Ex? perience Of two Englishmen. Since the commencement or the siege several attempts have been made by persons of different nationalities to pass ont of Paris through the Prussian Unes. Some few of .these hazardc pedltlons, made while the investment wi partial, may have been successful, but sin complete surrounding of the city by the slan forces all endeavors which have been to effect a passage through the enemy's line failed. Official and unofficial persons have treated a'lke-all havo been obliged to ret Paris, there to walt until events permit th leave.. Captain Hoare, the military attache of tlx ish Embassy, lately made an attempt tc through thc Prussian lines, but falle I: and p ly Mousignor Chlgl, thc Papal nuncio, mad unsuccessful expeditions with tue same obj vltw. M. de Aldiimu, an attache of the Sf Embassy, also made two ai tempts, one In t rcctlon of Beull, ami the other bv tho w Cliattlllon, but In both Instances he was u ccssful, and was forced to return Into the ca . Balloons seem the only resource left, to of eager to depart, fur exit by terrestrial mei Impossible. All the roads leading to the c are Jealously guarded by the Prussians, whl tachments of cavalry sweep the Intervening of country. But every one cannot afford loon, or perhaps the dread of Prussian bull not Uss than lear of a fall from one of perlai conveyanc s; and so, although thc e: enees of many show that wltnout a pass lt I possible to penetrate through thc Prussian attempts continue to bc made from time to Towards the close of last month an essay that object in view was made by two English who had been detained In Pails by business. lng, that some means for facilitating the de ure of foreigners would turn up, th ny watte some time Inactive.

Many formaItles, how wcte necessary before they obtained their pa so that lt was not till September 20 that ihey enabled to starr. 05 their expedition. The p they obtained were from General Trochu am Prefect of Police, and rttatcd that the bet were British subjects Journeying to Englnnd. Thc morning they were abont to sturt they with a French gentleman who had made a sit attempt some time before, but had faded, person perhaps exaggerated thoprecautloi betoken, but he strongly advised them to ' along, waving their pocket handkerchiefs whole while. FJcnriug this, on* of onr two low-countrymen, who had a walking stick, (rested the ase of lt to holst his luindkerc ."A walking stick l'> exclaimed the Frenchs "lt win never do.

Ac< dingly they passed out, ami over the drawbrld and presently round themselves In Ncullly. WI they reached the river fresh difficulties ct inenccd. Thc sentinel at Hie head of the bru between Nealllf and Courbcvolr bade them \t until an officer passed by. Happily one soon n u?, permission to pass was granted, and 1 travellers went on their way; nor was it. ui they had lele Courbcvolr behind that they w ngaln stopped. This time thc Freuch nutpo arrested their onward mureil. They exhlnl their passes, and Immediately were allowed proceed again. Hitherto they had been within the French Hr In safety. Now that they were beyond them a between thc advanced posts of the combatan their danger became considerable; either si might hare fired on them. Accordingly thev j In practice the counsel they had received tu Pat drew out their handkerchiefs, and never cea to wave them as they walked along the bro road liner) with trees and shrubs 00 either vi leading towards Bezons, where they hoped to fl a passage ncross the second bend of the Sell So here they were-two peaceful Kngilshmi one past tue middle age, thc other In the prime lire, dic?sed In unromantic civil inn clothes a black hats, and one or Diem wearing spcctacli walking along a dismal country road, wltlioni single being In sight, and Mable at every s'ep th took to be tired-upon by some sharp shooter Francs tireur posted behind hedge or tree. And fact they afterwards learnt that on one side this avenue, which seemed t i them endless, wc French Francs-tireurs; on the oiher sharp-shootc of the Prussian army. Happily, they were ign rant of these circumstances at the time. Aiwa; waiving their pocket handkerchief to an lu visit enemy, thev at length arrived on the hanks of t Seine opposite Bezons, where they found t bridge over which they had hoped to pass tl Seine destroyed. They hailed some persons t the opposite bank to come ami row them over; ti answer was that thc Prussians had forbidden ai such thing. Near ibis place, however, In front nf a smt liouso. were two little boys playing at see-saw c u plank, and routi.t them were strewn otlu planks. It occurred to thc unfortunate pair thi thc.v might succeed lu placing these planks aero the water, from one pile of the broken bridge 1 another, amt Hms effect a passage. According!: they resorted to inls expedient; bur. lu 1 lie ur pince, the planks were too short for this parpo? and thc people on the opposite banks scut menai lng shouts across the river. Their rumination over this unhappy posture of affairs were hi coining very unpleasant when one of thc boy at their side told them that a little lower dow the river was a bridge still Intact; moreovei he volunteered to take them to lt; uni th trio accordingly set out. lt was not lon before ihey roached thc bridge, and lier their guide quitted them. Thc younger c the two Englishmen walked somewhat alica of his companion; suddenly he turned bac with a startling cry or "Thc Prussians ! And there they were, or rather there wa one or their sentries-he had popped up fron behind a buttress Just In front or the stranger, a he approached thc middle or thc bridge. A once tue wretched men bolted; a ball whlzzet past them; but In a few udnut s they were outo Immediate danger. Overtaking their guide the; now learned that a camp of Prussians were dosi at hand; whereupon they determined to repair t< thc enemy's quarters, exhibit their papers, ant request permission to pass. After about half ai hour's walk along a broad avenue, they suddenrj came upou the Proas an sentries to the nmnbei or four, posted at a point where another road eui across thc avenue Waiving their handkerchiefs holding their papers ready, the two Englishnier advanced. To their crtesof "English ! Friends I' -made lu both French and English-the laconic but eloquent reply of a levelled rifle was delivered, They found it impossible to parley; to every at tempt of theirs lhere came thc answer: "Be off !' emphasized by the actl >n of taking ulm. At this moment some half dozen rifle bullets whizzed past their cars, aud Hie four Prussians were all wound? ed. Turning In alarm to see whence had come the shots, our travellers perceived some hair dozen Francs-tireurs bolting across a fleid in their rear. At thc same moment a trumpet sounded, and a detachment or Prussians, attracted by thc tiring, was seen coming np. The two Knglishmcn again took to their heels, and soon rejoined their guide, who had left, them a Utile way down 1 he road. This little gentleman offered to conduct them to anoiher Prus- lan outposts; and, still determined to pass if possible, they accompanied him. A sharp walk along another avenue brought them upon same Prussia 1 soldiers, among whom they perceived several brilliant ly-an ired unseen. But lt was in valu that they endeavored to parley. They were not allowed to advance within a hun? dred yards of thc sentries. Thu two unfortunates now gave up in despair. Obeying the lnjuuctlons of thc Prussians to begone, they retired. They learned that Reuil was thc nearest village, anti accordingly set off in that direction. On reaching" this place thc people surrounded them eagerly, and. on hearing them speak English to one another, and bad French to themselves, immediately set them down for Prussian spies. With a crowd of a cou? ple of hundred persons, men, women ami children at t'leUjheels, they reached a hotel and begged?admission. The hotel-keener replied he hud neither rood nor beds, and did not disguise from them his belief that they were Prussians Forthwith a demand was raised that Hiey should be taken to tho police; and. escorted by a crowd unsparing in Insult, they were conducted by thu hotel-keeper and other citizens to thc commis? saire, to whom they showell their papers and ex? plained the reason of their appearance in KeaiL This official was satisfied with their story; he or? dered Hie hote 1er co lodge them for the night, and promised for thc following morning a certifi? cate to assist them lu the retnrn Journey to Paris. Next morning tne certificate was duly handed to them. An ex-courier, who spoke Gorman, was appointed to escort them, and back they took their melancholy way. On the road they were told by their companions that *wo days beiore some seven or eight francs tleurs had lodged in the hotel where they had slept, and that a detachment of Prussians, think? ing to surprise them, bad attacked them at night. The French barricaded the entries with the house? hold furniture, and received the Prussians so weU that they were obliged to retire, carrying off with them several wounded. The return Journey of the Englishmen was made lu peace; they met no difficulty, either m passing through the lines or re-entering the city. fflame?.

A sincere friend to tho family of the decease, respectlnlly asks of them the privilege of orfertri lils condolence In the dark hour of their g rea aiUlction, and of recording a slight tribute of n f-pect to her memory. Mrs. Samuel Sparks, a whose grave a crowd of sorrowing friends hav just hawed their heads la unaffected sorrow,'wa on'; of those ladies who in youth as wei! as io ol ago exhibited In her character all those promt neut traits which fitted her to flu, with so mue grace and dignity, thc exalted position she al way 3 occupied in society. Belonging to one of the best and oldest famille oh the Peedee, a worthy descendant of those nobl Welsh colonists who came as capitalists to thl Slate, and became large landed proprietors building up beautiful homes, and implantlnf their national virtues of integrity, courage ant patriotism, her manners were marked, not lesi by the courtesy rreely extended to. every one than by an air or refinement, which expelled fa mlllarlty whilst lt Invited confidence and respect Uer mind was richly stored with thc knowledgi acquired by a long course of reading and renee clo II . Never forgetting the smallest domestl dut), she yet found sufficient time to make her self acquainted with the best literature or th> day. With n perception that was'qulck and accu rate, and a judgment that was rarely mistaken Mrs. sparks read with the greatest advantage und lu her long life, so well spent, acquired a rici store of knowledge seldom excelled in.extent o variety. During the late glorious struggle she manifest ed thc most ardent devotion-dlsmaniling he home or every luxury that could contribute to th comlort or our army. Few men or the day cou'd equal her In the dis play ol exalted, uncompromising patriotism, am statesmen could learn from her lips lessons o governmental wisdom. Her love of tho right and her ardent maintenance of principle, shi sought to Impress upon all around her; and polg nant was lier sorrow at our country's overthrow and deep her detestation of all after retnrns o compromise. With her. In all'hlngs, "right wa? right forever more."' There are many who wll long remember her, when presiding over thc hospitable and elegant mansion-her nercdltarj home. . There was a time when luxury and reflnemenl lent all their charms to mat household-whee wealth, combining itself with the b"Bt and high tst traits of luman character, seemed to exert It? self to diffuse happiness all around thc circle ol Its Influence. This excellent lady enjoyed hei large opportunities only to make all around bei forget their cares and feel ihat her home was theirs also. 'The true type rf the Southern lady, she lived amidst the elegancies or that home; and wi.cn the storm of war swept over lt, and itt hearthstones were desecrated by the feet or un? hidden strangcts. with arms In their hands, vio? lating all thc sanctities or private life, and hold? ing high carnival of rioting and drunkenness In her presence, she proved herself to be a Roman matron Indeed, who couid scorn the Gaul without shrinking with fear from his atrocities. And when that home became a place where this good lady was the mistress only of desolation, she stood fort li more proudly than ever, the dignified suffer? er, birt still the amiable, courteous friend, who met you on the threshold with extended hand to oller you a share or what a hard and tyrannical Tate had left at her disposal. . It ls melancholy to think that a life so well spent should have been darkened by clouds of sorrow at Its close. But she was sustained by the consolations of a religion which exerts its streutest powers when all haman resources aro swept away-like the burning: lamp in the dark? ness or midnight, whose rays or light only become visible and bright as the deep obscurity furnishes the oppoujuulty lor their exhibition. For many years of her life she was a pious com? municant of thc Presbyterian Church, and adorn? ed her profession by a most Christian deport? ment. In her last hours she g ive the brightest evidences that she felt the grave which was open? ing before her was but the portal or Heaven. Farewell, hanpy spirit I The cold iron of tho world can follow you no longer. Bright fields ol bliss are yours forever, and thc landscape open? ing our, through all eternity, will only unfold to your view a still Increasing brilliancy, never more to bc dimmed by humau calamities; where you can roam forever in thc enjoyment of i hat perfect bliss, which the world can neither give nor take away. Like a weary child she trent ly fell asleep, leaving her very aged and afflicted husband.

Since the introduction of the patent SEA MOSS KA RINK, a complete revolution has taken place in that department of cookery to which we owe the luxuries or the dessert. The most delicious blanc mange, jelly, custard, Charlotte Russe, light puddings, Ac., are produced fora this palatable nutriment, at abont one-third of the former cost. A great economy of time as well as money ls effected by its use. The preparations made frum lt are pronounced by physicians to be the best possible diet for consumptives, dyspeptics, and persons Buffering from biliousness and general de? bility. Convalescents fatten on them, and gain rapidly in muscular strength as well as In flesh. The SEA MOSS FARINE COMPANY, No. 63 Park Place, New York, who are manufacturing this ar? ticle from the best Irish Moss, In enormous quan? tities, produce an array of medical and general testimony in Its favor which ls perfectly over? whelming, and must set all doubts of Its superi? ority as an alimentary 6taple, (If any exist,) en? tirely at rest. decl2-mwr3D*c ^9-FAITH WELL FOUNDED.-IN OLD times, at thc coramencemeut of every seaeon, lt was the fashion \o take a strong cathartic, as a safeguard against a change of temperature.
