NEW YORK, July 12-8 A. li. Governor Hoffman has issued a proclama? tion that the Orange procession will be pro? tected, whereupon Police Superintendent Kelso withdrew his order forbidding the pro? cession. It is understood that General Mc? Dowell will co-operate with the State authori? ties. : Circulars have been* issued for the forma? tion of a Protestant League of America, wherein it is claimed that Roman Catholicism br incompatible with civil and religious liberty. It is understood that six thousand were en? rolled for this organization yesterday. Batteries.have been placed at several points where an attack of the procession ls appre? hended. Superintendent Kelsc ls more hope? ful this morning of a peaceful issue. The po? lice and military arrangements are complete. The streets in the up-town districts have the appearance'of a holiday. Groups ot loungers are to be seen on nearly every corner. Gangs of men may be noticed going In the direction of the western part of ?he city. Altogether affairs look very threatening. The men In the marble and stone works along the East River have nearly all left work, lt is supposed for the purpose of opposing the Orange parade. Ru? mors are rife that rioting Is how going on in the upper part of 9th avenue. " NOON.-The much talked of and long looked for riot commenced about a quarter before ll this morning. Reports have commenced com? ing in. The first report was from the 23d pre? cinct, and was to the effect that a mob had col? lected in the vicinity of 83d street and 3d avenue, and were driving the people from the streets. Two hundred and twenty-five police? men Were Immediately picked out, and, under -command o? Captain Hedden, of the 15th pre? cinct, ordered to the above point to disperse the mob. The second dispatch was from the 324 pre? cinct, and stated tbat the rioters were march? ing through the Boulevard and had attacked Italian and Swiss'laborers In the vicinity of ?3d street and 9th avenne. The superinten? dent of police and General Shaler Immediately held a consulta tl on, and concluded to send a regiment to that point. General Shaler im? mediately ordered seven companies ot the 71st regiment, Colonel Bockafeiler command? ing, to proceed to and guard that point. This last order had barely been given when anoth? er report was received. Several Fenians col? lected about (he Fenian headquarters, 19 and 21, avenue A, where a large quantity of arms are stored, and clamored loudly to be given their arms. This was refused, and they threatened to'pull down the place. About 250 officers wet3 put in stages immediately and sent there. . At the 5th regiment armory in Hester Btreet, a large crowd had collected and signified their intention of taking the arms: There are about one hundred men of the regiment in the armory, to each of whom were dealt out forty rounds of cartridges. This morning, seeing that the regiment were prepared for them, one brawny Individual said: ,lComebyes; letti go down to Seventh ward aad get the lads, and we'll clear oat the d-r. Dutch." The ma? jority of the mob then et ur ted off under the leadership ot this man to get the "lads." Prince street ls alive-with men speaking in ? whispers, who, when they Bee any ?tranger com? n g, keep silent There was a report of a fight at Hibernian Hall, but before the police reached there lt was stopped and all was quiet. y The procession commences at tw> o'clock. Firing has been heard for the last hour, but no casualties are reported. A number.of persons armed with pistols, knives and hatchets have; -been arrested. They had been-drinking freely. - -JEBSsrCrrr, July* 12. No disturbances yet. but indications favor a riot and bloodshed this evening. The street corners and saloons are crowded with ''Hiber? nians," who maintain a sullen silence. LITER.-The Orange procession forjied be- ; tween two r?giments and four hundred police. Only about two hundred men were in line with . two banner.,, one the stars and stripes, and the other the William ot Orange on horseback. They waited for sometime for the band. The soldiers loade d with balls, and the procession -started. The Orange procession of Jersey City consisted of a'hundred and fifty men similarly guarded'. The ferry boats were held In the river, until the charac ter of the passen? gers was ascertained. The Jersey City pro cession was entirely unmolested. The New York procession was assailed three times up to last advices. .At the corner of 23d and 8th .avenues the troops were ordered tb fire. About a doze i were killed and wounded. One policeman was shot dead. Colonel Fisk was wounded, and one man in the 9th regiment killed. Innumerable minor rows have been j reported. 4.45 P. AL-A dispatch from the operator at at the Fifth Avenue H?. tel says: "About 3 P. ST., as the troops were passing down 5th ave aue, when between 25th and* 26ih streets, the mob fired three shots at them. The military returned the fire, killing eight and wounding thirteen. Two beys and a lady were shot, and sixteen cit zens in all were killed. On the avenue three soldiers were killed. Three .hundred Orangemen passed here about half an hour ago, through 23d street, down Broadway, under a strong escort, and were cheered in passing." The latest gives fifteen men killed and twenty wounded on Fifth avenue. Lieuten? ant Page, of Fisk's regiment, is mortally wounded. No exact details are obtainable yet.

Getting to the City-First Impressions A Trip to Versailles- Thc Ruins and the Spirit of the People. [Correspondence Boston. Advertiser.] PARIS, June 21. I have run over here to Bee with my own eyeB what 1B the condition of Paris, and how far the dreadful stories of its destruction are true. The political situation, too. is BO inter? esting that I considered it desirable to study lt on the spot, and to ascertain as far as possi? ble what is the future of unhappy France. In all essentials Paris ls more fearfully damaged than any account I have read has brought home to me, and alLthat I feared concerning the uncertainty of M. Thierg's tenure bas' been confirmed. But I will, if you please, give you the rough note3 of my trip hither and the im? pressions' it bas conveyed, premising that I arrived without difficulty, and that I am BO fortunate as to possess friends In Parla who have exceptional opportunities for acquir? ing sound information. First, as to the Jour .ney. The Prussian soldiers at the raliway stations of Amiens and'Greuilly bring the condition of France more thoroughly home to the visitor than aught else he has seen on bis way to Paris from London. There bas been a little unusual strictness with the passports. You have paid the slightly exorbitant sum of eight shillings to have yours vised at the French consular office in Finsbury square, and have been content to set the exaction down to the pecuniary dlfficu'ties of France. It 1s only when you feel the cold gray eye. of authority upon you at the Calais landing-place, and find yourself examined from top to toe, that you realize that the whole country ls in a state of siege. You ask the English friend you meet in the refreshment-room it Prussians are to be seen on the way down, and receive the lacon? ic answer, "Heaps!" A stumpy figure in blue cloth, and with a helmet of shining brass, marches up and down the Amelns platlorm. It is the first Prussian soldier I have seen, and I regard him curious? ly. He is not a favorable specimen, being, in truth, rather under the standard-ot height, concerning which so. much indignation bas been expressed by the reformers of the Brit? ish army. He is squatty, moreover, and Dutch bulIL But'he ts on sentry duty; and as he walka slowly up and down, his musket over his shoulder and his bayonet fixed, be la the Impersonation of victory-the commonplace symbol of France's defeat. There were plenty of other Prussian soldiers. Lat .T, I saw them -In great abundance in the fields as the train snot by, In tents and drilling, and at other stations on my way to Paris. But they none of them quite produced the impression caused by this very common soldier. It was on the day of the rejoicing at Berlin that I made my ; ! way hither, aud behind this sentry one seem? ed to see Kaiser Wilhelm, Moltke, Bismarck, I ard the whole might and pomp of the German army. We are accustomed to say that the po? liceman's truncheon represents the law ant! order of Eogland, and it was in some such connection that one peered Into the stolid brown face of the little man in the helmet, and ' wondered how the Frenchmen near liked his 1 presence. v [ Paris looked bright and clean as we entered , It by the Chemin de Fer du Nord. The friend I travelled with ls, above all things, a prudent man; so he had registered his small hand-bag Instead of taking lt with him ia the .carriage. He might lose it, he said. It was awkward carrying lt from railway to boat. He preferred having nothing. to think of on the journey. This cogent reasoning caused me to sic fifty ' five minutes by the* clock in the court-yard of the station. The railway staff was inadequate or demoralized, and the luggage from England was made to give way to tnat brought in by half a. dozen local trains. Could anything mark the altered condition bf things mote strongly ? The mall trains between London and Paris are In ordinary times triumphs of organization. The whole force o? the compa? nies is concentrated to Insure punctuality, and that luggage and passengers shall be promptly assorted on arrival. AaTt was, I resigned my? self to late, and after growling at the "pru? dence-' which prevented cny "seeing aushfcB? Paris that night, applied myself to the_study a*< the scene around The Paris cab men attained a position under the Commode which they are loth to resign.. Each man charged what seemed right In his own eyes. It is the same thing now. The National Assembly and its servants have hot bad lime to tura 'their attention to a matter which our own home secretary found too much for him, though public opinion was unanimous in his favor aud the country was at peace. -The CUD-fare s of Paris have not been settled, and the old regulations concerning the "courso" and "the hom" are laughed to scorn. Five francs, eight franc3. twelve francs, according to the conscience of the driver, were asked for distances for which two, three, and four francs would be handsome pay. It was amusing to. not? the disgust of the ,people with luggage who found their efforts at hiring met with a disdainful shrug. This was the first stage of tue bargain, and no Paris cabman will, under any circumstances, carry you any? where without a distinct agreement before? hand. Now, no one likes parting with his moneyless than a Frenchman, and the air re? sounded with oaths, the'gesticulations grew fast and furious, and finally many a stout and respectable paterfamilias shouldered his own portmanteau and disappeared, puffing and groaning.under a burden which he carried as Christian ls represented doing In the "Pilgrim's Progress." My friend appears at last smiling feebly, and Jocularly penitent. Then comes our first drive through the city-dusk coming on raDldly and we tired and hungry with our day's travel. We see but little. A lamp-post broken off short and lying helplessly In the gutter, other lamp-posts twisted into odd shapes like brazen serpents which have rusted; a broken plate glass window; a shop-front as completely out as if "selling off for alterations;'' a few odd looking holes a foot or two in diameter, show? ing where stout stone walls had been perforat? ed like pasteboard; soldiers on duty here and - there,' and a vast number ot French uniforms in the streets, are the chief things that we see. It is 9 P. M. when we sit down to dinner at Volsin'a, and we agree that Paris is not so much altered after all. Where have all the garcons hidden themselves during the two si?gea the beautiful city has undergone ? I was last at Voisin's a few days before Sedan, and I recognize every walter I saw then. There la the bland proprietor, too, with tho cork leg, rubbing his hands and giving vocal annotation to the bill of fare just published. The garcon who sells cigars as his own specu? lation, recommends the Partagas In the big box lu exactly the same tones as he did last August, and the other walters assist each other andlookonand cry, "JBten, HTsieu" in.a way which makes one rub one's eyes and ask if ail one bas read concerning Paris besieged, Paris conquered, Paris'starving, and Paris In flames, be not part of some Idle dream. The pier glasses, the walls of white and gold, the gay ulk and merry laughter of the replete diners, and the general llght-beariedneas which seemed to prevail, were all bewildering. There ls a great want of gas in the streets. Only every other lamp is lighted there, and the sparse jets 6hed but only a leeble glimmer. "There are great plies of stone, too, by a corner in the Bun Royale 'and opposite the-Made? laine, and me stump of the column which once atood In the Place Vendome telle its own story; but all is dim aud Indistinct, and we re? tire for the night puzzled and confused at the contrast between the ruined Parla of imagina? tion and reading, and the Paris of 80ber fact.

Civil and Military Sentiment-An En? glishman's Look Into the Future. : [Berlin Correspondence London News.] - It is cow ID the Germ?n capital the day after the ball. Tbe ball was a great success, and the fiddlers and the dancers, kept it up with un? flagging perseverance. But everything must have an end, and triumphal d?monstrations are not to be maintained forever, however ardent the enthusiasm. Now, the face of tbe ball? room beauty is haggard and her eyes are bleared. The baU-dress lies rumpled, soiled, and ragged' round the. skirts. Berlin's gala-dress stood the sun pretty well, only that the ruchlng of laurel leaves, 'oak plants, and pine coils faded and lost their bright green? ness. But still the ribbon banners and the sash pennons flaunted bravely till Monday, and then came such a deluge of rain as bas not often, been seen in Berlin or anywhere else. It woefully bedraggled the cheap finery which the triumphant beauty wore so persistently; It made her uncommonly muddy all over, and must have stirred in her bosom reflections anent the evanescence of tinsel in general. To drop tbe metaphor, Berlin is in the weather dumps. There Ts a big drop at the end of Vic? tory's nose, and Germania looks as if she would fain borrow a carriage-umbrella to keep the rain off herself and Alsace and Lorraine. I don't think the rain is at all a bad thing for Berlin: there is an allegory in lt which symbol? izes the uncertainty of human things. But two days ago the glorious sunshine-emblem of that splendor of German prosperity on which, the heavens themselves were glad to shine-seemed as if it would last forever; the downpour of yesterday, demonstrating the. fickleness of the weather, may well remind the thoughtful how Fortune can be as caprici? ous as are the skies. A condition of general moisture bas a strong tendency to damp out any exuberance of a cock-a-hoop triumph. And I do not think one could claim to be a truthful reporter who did not testify to his re? cognition in the last few days of a weakness in this direction. There is a good deal o? human nature in most people, you see; and human nature being weak, is apt 'to give way to Im? pulse, association, and the influence of the hour. What is the influence 01 the hour in which a triumphal entry takes place? You may split hairs assiduously, and .draw sub? tle distinctions between the emotion of spe? cific triumph and a generic enjoyment of la glorie; but the two have a plaguy Sroneness to rr.n Into each other. I have een a warm, and as I trust conscientious, ad? mirer of the German character, its modera? tion, its self-command, its love of peace. But drink will make a demon of a saint, and triumphal entries form an Intoxicating tip? ple very dangerous to those national charac? teristics which I have admired; for. after all, national character ls but a faggot, so to speak, of individual human natures bound together. I was not among those who thought that such j magnanimity could be expected of the Ger? mans as to take the initiative In proposing j peace ofter Sedan; or thal lt was to be ezpeot ! ed of them that they should ultimately ratify peace without taking something to show for their fighting work. We live In the age of Iron, (mingled with that of brass.) not in that of gold. But I do think that lt would have been' a splendid moral victory-a thing to benefit herself in the present and in the future, and 1,0 have kindled the admiration and re? spect of posterity-if Germany, aller her war, had come to her peace without a physical ex? hibition of her triumph. Her triumph would have been none the smaller If Berlin bad not hoisted a flag or erected a statue; it is none the greater because the streets of Berlin have resounded to the tread and the cheers pf a victorious army bearing the eagles and ban? ners of the vanquished. CIVIL SENTIMENT. Not that the Berliners overtly craved any more fighting In specific words even when the effervescence of the triumph was atlts highest ? In them. There has grown up a fashion of (Jaunting at the possibility of-any more war, a jBurit ol ridiculing any one who hints at see ting, by reason of a long range of vision, a cloud no bigger than a man's hand tar away on the horizon. It was a sagacious student of human nature who made the sententious com? ment, "Methinks the lady doth protest too much." Not that I do not believe the Berliners are not quite genuine in their protestations: but then I do not greatly like the manner of these protestations. Alexander the Great was a professed fighting man, who, when he had conquered everything that there apparently ! waa to conquer, (not including himself,) sat and wept because there were no more worlds to conquer. The Germans, fighting men only under compulsion and professed people of peace, having conquered, everything that has stood up against them, do not, like Alexan? der, blubber for mote antagonists, but rub their bands in self-conglatuiatlon that as adversaries are reduced to an impos? sibility, there ls a peaceful future before the Germr Tapire. Here is a transaction of an loscripi. on one of-the triumphal pillars-: "Who shall fight with the Germans now* there? fore we/ shall have long peace." There is a ?truculent Intolerance here of anything sup? posed caoaTjle ot claiming an equality of fight? ing power with the Germans, which I submit is not the proper basis on which to rest the conviction of a long peace. It ls exactly paral? lel in conception, although it does not go so far ?s the peace-recipe which the Romans under Agricola administered to ancient Cale? donia, a prescription which Tacitus makes plain-spoken old Galgncus tabulate In the pithy phase, "Solitudinem faciunt pacem appellant." And I make bold to assert that the reasoning of the inscription ls the reasoning in the hearts and on the lips ofmostGermaus to-day. It ls not a healthy line of. reasoning, since Its obvious converse is "Ii any State presumes to think itself equal to Germany In military strength, then we shall Immediately war." I do not say that the Germans have let their reasoning faculties carry them specifically to the realization, tar less the approval, of this converse position; but I do not see how either they or any one else can refuse to recognise its logical truth. FEELING IK THE ARMT. I have mingled much with the soldiery during the last few days, and gladly testify to their anxiety for no more fighting in their generation. They are eagerto tell of war in? cidents, of long marching, orlurdshlps, of hot fighting and ot heavy losses-the severity- ot the loss always comes asa clenching argu? ment to the^iardness of th? fighting. There ls no personal brag, but natural laudation of the valor shown by the battalion and company to which the narrator belongs. But they are not men of blood. There ls no flippant gloat? ing over scenes of butchery; no callous talk how many "Red Breeches" Hans skewered on his bayonet, or Henrich spit ted on his lance point; none ot that restless lust for warfare which a war is so prone to stimulate in a pro? fessional soldiery. They have fought the fight; they huve got their medal?; they are tull ot war stories, the budget ol which for years to come they will unfold in the cottage porch, or the chimney corner of the smithy; and although prepared to do as they are told, whether to work all night unpacking a. baggage-train, or to march against the martial Inhabitants of Kum schntka, they . are very anxious to get back into civil life; and, having done their best tor the Fatherland, now do something for themselves. But there is a perceptibly differ- ! ent tone among the civilians. In the bravery ol the soldiery, they themselves are vicarious? ly brave. Little Ententuss, the cigar-seller's cad, who, two years ago, was heartily glad when the military surgeon certified him unfit for service on account of physical defects, watched the "ladybirds" tramping past with their sturdy swing, throws out lils pigeon breast, tries to point those web-toes of his, and looks on the foreigner with a haughty sniff of contemptuous puissance. The "ladybirds" are Germans; he, Entenfups, is a German; the "ladybirds" are mighty men of valor; he, En tenluss, and every other German, ar? mighty men of valor, striking awe and terror into the souls of alien-, or ready, in default of the required humility, to carry fire and sword into allen Iauu. Well, ' Entenfuas may be a little of a Bobadil; but look at the other sten of the times. I have seen women wearing mourning for their dead, Blain in the war. waving their handkerchiefs in greeting ol'' the victors left alive. I heard a father bereaved ol' two boys In the war, not decently proud or cheerfully resigned, but absolutely exultant over his sacrifices for the Fatherland, assuming a complacent self-impor? tance, a Bmug taproom cockiness over the magnitude of his loss, Jost as old Mrs. Sedley in Vanity Fair waa proud j that her spouse had failed for '"Oh, ever so many thousands,my dear." AU this is bad. It is not a great deaf, to be sure, and one may be thought nypercrit ical in noticing lt,'but these small things are dangerous dlgns, small they are, tor they are the beginning of rottenness. Germany has a great future before her, with wisdom and | 1 moderation, not alone ot her government, hilt on the part of her people. It would be false friendship not to j own that that fu? ture-[ls beset with many trials and temp? tations. Her real unity if yet to be achieved. Begun in and through, 10 not by war, it has' still to stand the far more trying test of peace. And this danger must be noted, that If inter? nal difficulties and hitches in actual, as distirj* | guished from nominal, unification occur, the temptation is ever present to resort to the in? strument for overcoming them that originally wrought the unity. There is no State in Eu? rope to-day the futuro of which is linked BO closely with the lives of men whose number you might.reckon on the fingers of one hand. A stroke of apoplexy might unsettle in an hour everything that has already been settled, and crush the hope of the lu ture'into dust and ashes. Never have Interests so 'jigantic been concentrated under one fiat blue cap with a yellow band. ^ . . . QERDLAW ARMS. The Chassepot to succeed the Needle? j Gun-Bronze for Big Oana. [Berlin Correspondence ot New York World.] We are so accustomed to associate with the German, or at all events the Prussian, army the idea of the needle-gun, that lt is next to impossible to Imagine eil her without the other. The needle-gun has been the specialty of the Prussian soldiery? the supposed talis? man which led it to victory. In 1964 lt waa the needle-gun which, iii the oplnlon'ofthe Danes, wrought their defeat ; In 1866 the Aus? trians confessed themselves beaten, not by superior organization, valor or strategy, but by the magic' spell concealed In the needle gun. The Prussians themselves were perfect? ly In love* with their national weapon, and professed to despise the attempts of other na? tions to come up to their perfection. What| was the Enfield or* the Snider; what was the Martini Henry, and what finally the much vaunted chassepot in comparison, with the needle-gun ? Parallels between the latter two rifles have been drawn continually during the war, both by Prussian military Journalists and obsequious foreign special correspondents attached to the Prussian army, They ended in every instance In a final eulogy on the nee dle-giu. The chassepot was asserted to be constantly suffering some breakage; lt became foul after a few rounds; it waa not true In Its aim. These were the conclusions that our pro Prussian journalists Invariably arrived at.. Whoever accepted this judgment aa decisive and fair, will be greatly surprised to Dear that j at this present moment.the Prussian authori? ties are. contemplating a general exchange of the zundnadel for the'chassepot. The ztfhfi nadei, In fact, ls doomed, tina the choice lies solely between the' Martini Henry rifle and the chassepot. The former Is admitted to be the better, but then lt ls costly, and every one would have to be bought. Of the chas sepots, there are 540,000 ready , to hand. Bavaria has come to a decisi?n already. Though it will not finally cast away Its old Werder rifle, lt has resolved to serve out 65,000 chasaepots, which form. Its share of the common booty, to the bulk of tts line troops. In Prussia the co-existence of two different guns Is not deemed advisable, and a great number ot rifles will, therefore ii ave to be newly fabricated. Still the 540,000 cha'ssepots are an argument in favor of that j weapon. Its greatest recommendations are ita greater handiness and lightness, wide range and the small bore. A soldier can carry, about with him a far greater number of car? tridges than for the needle gun-almost as many again. The French chasaepots are to be somewhat altered for use, and ? great quanti? ty have to be newly manufactured. It ls be? lieved that this work will bo Intrusted to Hr. Krupp, of cast-steel cannon celebrity, and lt is to serve aa a set-off tor the?loss he will suffer by the Introduction of bronze field guns. The rumor of a new Kruppjjatabllshment being erected at Essen has own, -"currant there for some weeks, and the proprietor *ls said to be hiring hands to tb i number of several thous? and. Another change proposed, and that defi? nitely decided upon, ls the- reintroduction of] bronze guns versus cast-steel. The cast-steels were Intended to constitute a specialty of the Prussian army as distinctive as the needle gun. Like that, they were credited with magic-powers. This belief was founded only on prejudice, and the late war has taught the military authorities that bronze answers the purpose in many cases just as well, which', considering Ita far greater cheapness, decides the question In its favor. Bronze ls again to become the staple material of Prussian gun foundries. The small rifled four-pounders and the abort twenty-four-pounders, ot which we have heard so much during the war-both the favorite field guns of the Prussians, and most in use by their batteries-are to be exclusively bronze. The new twenty-one centimetre mor? tars, projecting shells of 160 and 200 pounds, a product of the late war, are lo be cast of the same metal. Almost all the reserve guns manufactured during the war'and used for the reserve batteries were bronze, and have an? swered admirably. It seems likely that the much despised mit? railleur will become an established institu? tion in the Prussian army, as It Is in the Ba? varian. The variety proposed for German use bears the name of Montlgny. It Is being now tested by the authorities. Each gun requires six men to serve it and six horses to draw lt. It fires thirty-seven rounds at ? time. The cartridge employed ls that originally intended for the Werder rifle, having a diameter bf only five-twelfths of an inch and weighing 333 grains, viz : Fifty-five grains of powder, and 278 of metal. The entire machine, with an j ammunition cart attached and men and all, weighs 3115 pounds. The gun has been tried at distances of lrom 400 to 1500 paces (two feet j each,) and the result goes to prove that at 1500 paces lt may be employed with excell?nt effect, though it ls not considered safe to use it at greater distances. The aim proved re? markably true, and this ls believed to have settled the question In favor bf the mitrail? leur, the range of which exceeds the widest of auy infantry gun by 300 paces, and the usual and most effective range of the same gun by 700 paces. On the other hand, there ls no doubt that the mitrailleur cannot stand againat artillery firing shrapnel shells. It will therefore be treated not as an artillery gun, but as an Infantry weapon. Of less Important changes we may add that the leather kepis of the landwehr are to be done away with and replaced by helmets hav lng a cross In front as a distinctive mark. It bas been remarked that where landwehr and line troops taught aide by side, thc fire of the French was invariably concentrated on the former, supposed to be the less organized and efficient men. The French considered the landwehr as on apar with their national guard, and could easily make them out by their dis? tinguishing head gear. That the Prussian cut of uniform, as well as-the Prussian scale of payment will be adopted in Bavaria, ls already known. _ .

It should be premised for the bene? fit of those who have not read up the- subject, that these famous - letters, bearing the signa? ture. "Jualus," were published lu a London newspaper, called the Public Advertiser. The first of them appeared on the 21st of January, 1769, and the last on the 21st of January, 1772. They attacked with great severity the ministe* rial measures of the Duke of Grafton and hts colleagues, on account of their arbitrary high Tory tendencies. There were sixty-nine letters in all; of whioh . twenty-one were. addressed to the printer ot the Pub? lic Advertiser, eleven to the- Duke or Grafton, five to Slr William Draper, three to Lord Chief Justice Mansfield, and the rest to a variety of persons. They are remarkable for the elegance of their language, the force of their arguments, the bitterness of their reproaches, the keenness of their satire, the extensive information they display, their fearless tone and ttfeir attachment to the Seat principles of the Constitution of Eng ld. Tn a word,' they must have been the. production of a profound scholar and ot an enlightened statesman. Yet; with all their merit, they might have passed into, the category of works known only to the learned but for the impenetrable - mystery In which they- have been shrouded. The name of the author (or authors of them, it there were more than one,) though known to several persons, was never divulged. lilt had been, lt would probably have subjected the owner of lt to. the vindictive hatred of the arbitrary ministers of George the Third, who would doubtless have found some pretext for crushing him. But all efforts to discover the author pr?ved unavailing. ' The secret was rigidly kept, and lt died with those who knew lt. There have been countless efforts made to discover it, but though some very plausible theories have been advanced, ana supported by what appears to-be fair evidence, nothing certain has come out of all this controversy and research. The negative evidence, Indeed, is undeni? ably strong, and when it ls' fairly weighed against the positive, the impartial inquirer will find himself in the condition of the don? key between two loads of hoy. Dr. Alllbone, in his Dictionary of Authors (title "Junius") gives a list of forty-two persons to whom the authorship of theBe celebrated letters bas been ascribed.' '. The weight of testimony has been considered to preponderate In favor of Sxr Philip Francis, a dissolute man and a rancor? ous politician,who reviled friend ami foe alike, with the exception of the. profligate John Wilkes, another notorious politician ot that day, with whom "Junius" seems to have been on the best ot terms. Among other proofs adduced in favor ot Francis has been the evidence of handwriting, and the pro? fessional expert has been called in to decide the question. There has been no lack of materials of this description to operate upon. In the Chatham Correspondence there are many words and sentences in the known hand? writing of Francis, and they? closely resemble some of those in the manuscripts ol "Junius." But Francis was the hired amanuensis of Lord Chatham tor more than a year, and therefore wrote many things of'which he was- not the anthor. He was also a servile tool ot Calcraft, Wood, Ellis, and other prominent politicians, and played "Jackal" to them. The first formal Introduction of the professional expert Into the controversy arose In this manner : Tn 1870 or 1771, when Junius was In .the fullness of his fame, and Francis was at Bath, a Hiss Giles (afterwards wards Mrs. King) received a copy of verses .(about, sixteen lines,) accompanied by an 'anonymous note, both of which came* as she believed^ from Franois. Between forty-and' fifty years afterwards,' when his name was publicly associated with Junius, she pro? duced these documents, and the resemblance of the anonymous note to the 'handwriting of Junius (specimens of which had been lithographed by Woodfall, the original pub? lisher of the Letters,) Induced "her brother to get lt lithographed for private circulation. It attracted some temporary attention, but lt was soon forgotten, and remained . o until 1868, when the documents came into the pos? session of the Hon. Edward Twlstletoa, who submitted tba note to- Hr:* Nethercllif, an expert. That gentleman at once declared that lt was in the handwriting of Francis. Mr. Twlsttetoa then submitted the verses to another' expert, a French gentleman, named Chabot, who reported that they were not, and could not have been, written by Francis'. The history of this investigation h as .lust been pub? lished In Lond o n, and it reopens the doubt about Francis being the real author of Junius. He was never suspected by his contemporaries of being so. He was first put forward as such in 1813, by Mr. Taylor, after which Francis "play? ed Junius" to everybody. But Pitt had long previously told Lord Aberdeen (the late Pre? mier of England) that bo.th he and als father (Lord Chatham) knew who the author w.\s, and that lt was not Francis. The Bight Hon. Thomas Grenville told his nieces, as a matter bl persoual knowledge, that not one of the persons who had beeb mentioned as Junius was that writer. Soon after the publication of the Diary of a Lady of Quality-a short time ago-Lady Grenville sent word to the editor, who had mentioned the subject therein, that Lord Grenville had told her he knew who wrote the Junlus letters, and that it was not Francis. But the strongest evidence against Francis ls that he did not possess learning and ability sufficient to ena? ble him to write the letters. But why the mystery should still be maintained, now that a century has elapsed, and all the parties con? cerned have long sluce died off, is inexpli? cable. . ._ 'THE WEATHER THIS DAT.

About 9 o'clock Captain Dudley hooked a large star* geon, the hook becoming entangled, not in the mouth, but in the tail of the fish. After letting him play about for some time, his. cap? ture was completed by shooting him, after which he was drawn to shore'.
