Impeachment of Scott and Parker-A Fearful Expose-Arri? val of the Sterling Bonds. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE SETS.] COLUMBIA, December 14. IQ the Senate a bill was introduced to au? thorize county treasurers to receive pay cer? tificates of members ot the Legislature In pay? ment of taxes. Tbe bill to renew the charter ol the People's Bank, of South Carolina, and the bill to renew the charter of Strawberry Ferry were passed. The WU to create a State board of health and vital statistics was referred to the medical committee to report as to its practicability. In the House, Bowen's special investigating committee made their report. They show that the whole bonded debt of the State, in October, 1868, was $5,407,306 27, exclusive ol the war debt. To this they add the bonds issued for the redemption of the bills of the Bank of the State, amounting to $1,253,550, mak*?)g the old State debt $6,665,856. During 1869 and 1870 there was added the bonds for tbe redemption of the bills receivable. $500, 000, and the bonds to pay Interest, $500,000, making the bonded debt in October, 1870, $7,665.856 27. About tbe same time there j were in the hands o? the financial agent the bonds for the relief of the treasury $1.000,000, I the bonds to pay interest $500,006, and tbe land commission bonds $700,000, making the grand total $",665,856 27. This shows only j . $3,200,000 of new bonds issued up to October, ^ 1870. According U. the sworn statement of I the treasurer, there are now signed and out- j standing $9,51-1,000 of new bonis. Deduct from this amount tho $3,200,000 above men? tioned, and th, re remains $6,314,000 of bonds, I signed and put upon tbe marker, which the report declares to be an over-Issue. The re? port further shows that the acts under which I the?e Issues are claimed to hare been made limit?e the time doris;? which tbe bonds could be Issued to twelve months, j which was afterwards ex.ecaed to twenty-1 four months; but these bonds have been issued since the expiration of the author-1 lzed period, even as extended. The -re? port concludes as follows: 'Tour committee are fully satisfied that the State has been de-1 Irauded by an over-issue ot $6,341,000, and would, therefore, respectfully recommend that I the necessiry steps be* taken to hold account able those persons who have violated the law and ruined the credit of the Sute." Signed I by Bowen, Byae, Frost, O'Connell and Jones. Tbe report will be considered to-morrow alter-1 -'oon, when, lt ls threatened, Scott and Parker will be Impeached. Tbe House passed the bills to empower pro? bate judges to issue executions, to estar hah a I wharf at Martin's Point, and the concurrent I resolution to adjourn from December 22d to January 5th. Hurley introduced a bill reqnlr- j log that all securities of the State be register-1 od within ninety days, alter which Mme no I principal or interest ol unregistered bonds j should be paid. The resolution relative to the removal of j Judge Thomas was taken up, when Judge j Thomas appeared at the bar of the House and ! M nott need himself In readiness to defend I himself. After some pettifogging,. Hurley I sprang a motion to indefinitely postpone the I wa -le matter, which parsed, thus effectually I killing the measure. The sterling funding bonds, which were I telegraphed for, have arrived. The small-pox quarantine at Charleston, I Georgetown and Beaufort will be raised to morrow. PtCKET. y OTES AKD COMMENTS ET MAIL. Tbe Details of the Legislative Proceed? ings of Wednesday. [FriOM ODB OWN C0KRE3F0NDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C., December43. The proceedings to-day In both bouses of the general Assembly were of considerable Importance. In the Senate the following bills, 4c, were Introduced: By Mr. Sm al's, a bill lo regulate pilotage at tbe ports of Charleston, Georgetown and Beaufort This bill ls of some importance, and provides fora board of three commission? ers of pilotage in each of the ports named, which board? shall regulate tbe fees for pilot? age, and examine, license and supervise all pilots. It also provides for a three years' ap? prenticeship for pilots and various other de? tails, of which most are taken from the exis? ting laws upon the subject, wit' a few hints obtained from tbe laws of Nsw York and otber larger ports. Mr. Whlttemore gave notice of a bill (already men i ione J upon Its Introduction in the House) to repeal on act to authorize the financial agent to pledge State bonds as collateral se? curity. He also noticed a bill '"To provide for the payment ot the principal and Interest of all bonds and stocks of the State of South Caro? lina at the State treasury." The following resolution, offered by Mr. Ar? nim, was considered undera suspension of the rules and passed: That his Excellency the Governor be requested to inform the Senate whether tbe bonds known as the sterling loan Kds bave been received and what dispo.-i \ has been made of 1 h- m. ie following concurrent resolution by Mr. Whlttemore wa-? also passed under a suspen? sion of the rules: That the State treasurer be, and he is hereby, directed not to.turn over any more bonds or stocks of South Carolina which are now or may hereafter come into his possession to the financial agent ol South Carolina in the City of New York. A long debate was then indulged In over the report of the finance committee on the bill to regulate deposits of public moneys by co icfV treasurers, and the disbuisemeur by Slate treasurers. Tue report presents a sub 8tiiute for the origil.V bill, and tbe substitute was considered in d-t-dl and advanced to its third reading. A considerable amount of other calendar business was dUpo-ed of, but no final, action was taken except upon the bill to pro? hibit the bringing ot paupers Into tbe State, which was laid on the table, and the resolu? tion for the General Assembly to take a re? cess from December 22 to January 5, which was adopted and to the House for concur? rence. The Senate then went Into executive ses? sion, and received from tue Governor allst ot nominations for jury commissioners for the various counties in the State. Of these the following were confirmed : Abbeville, John Enright; Beaufort, J. C Rivers; Chester, H. J. Pride; Chester?eld, George W. Spencer; Clar? endon, J. E. Tindal; Darlington, P. C. Flood; Edgefleld, John A. Barker; Georgetown, Thomas D. M. Dowell; Greenville, Wilson Cook; Horry, Jehu Causey; Lexington, A. W. Geiger; Marion, M. K. Holloway; Newberry, W. G. Mayes; Richland, John P Adarntf; Sum? ter, G. W. Reardon; Union, William Eiler; WU? liam8burg, B. F. Scott. The nomination cf W. J. Gayer, for Jury commissioner In Charleston County, was re? jected. In the House, tbe judiciary committee re? ported favorably on a bill In relation to mar? riages, a bill to prohibit the sale or spirituous liquors to habitual drunkards, and a bill to re? peal an act to establish a bureau of agrlcultu-* ..?-tal statistics. The same, committee reported unfavorably upon a bill to provide for the compensation of jurors in trial justices' courts. The committee on ways and means reported In favor of a bill to provide for the redemp* tion o? certain lands sold under the orders ot General E. R. 8. Canby; a bill requiring the funds of thc State to be deposited in the vaults of the Statehouse, and payments therefrom to be made over the counter ot the treasurer's office, anda bill to provide for per diem and mileage, which appropriates $150,000 for cur? ent expenses aDd $100.000 for last winter's de? ficiencies. The.followlng bills and notices were intro? duced: By Wilkes, a bill to further provide for the administration of derelict estates. By Ferguson, notice of a bill calling in State bonds and stocks. By ?Corlan, notice of a bill to Incorporate the Grand Division of Sons of Temperance cl South Carolina. By Simon?, bill to authorize tho erection of a new courthouse in Richland County, and a petition of citizens of Columbia asking the sale of the old courthouse lot. The most Important bill introduced was one by Bosemon, to incorporate the Edlsto, Caw caw and Watles' Crrek Canal Company. The lncorperators named ia the bill are Timothy Hurley, R. H. Cain, J. D. Weiherlee, D. Biker, John C. Dawning, B. ?. Bosemon. A. J. Ban? aler, and others. Authority ls granted to sell lumber, dig phosphates on their-own lands, and dig out and complete u navigable water course from the Edlsto River to the Ashley River; they may also convey fresh water to Charleston by such means as they may deem best, and at such lime as may be most practi? cable; they are authorized to impose such a toll on vessel?, boats, rafts and barges as may be deemed proper for the usc of the canal. The capital stock of the compauv is fixed at $500.000. The rest ot the session until three o'clock was occupied with a debate upon the Senate bill to regulate the granting of divorces. It was curious to remark the -number ot mem? bers who had discovered all at once that this was a most iniquitous and improper measure, and it was amusing to listen lo their denun? cia! ions thereof, I he denunciatory arguments being drawn apparently from the recent edi? torial in THK NEWS. Prominent among Hs opponents was one Bowley, who quoted the the Levltical law upon the subject, and thun? dered the tei rors of Mount Sinai upon the un? happy members and House, who were com KUed to listen. Finally, the bill was killed ihe passage by a vote ol' forty-seven to forty-four of a motion to eliminate \ls enact? ing clause, and this circumstance must be ac? cented as encouraging, since lt shows that the House ls capable of at least a momentary spasm of decency, when incited thereto by the remarks ot an Intelligent opposition Journal. PICKET. THE KU-KLUX TRIALS. The Evidence for the Defence-Judge Carpenter on the Stand-Farther Ac? tion of the Grand Jury, der. [SPECIAL TX LEO BAH TO THE NEWS.] COLUMBIA, Thursday, December 14. In the ?Bited 8tates Court to-day, the de? fence placed upon the stand a number of wit? nesses, who testified lo the great excitement and fear caused by the organization ot the negro militia during the last election, and that much alarm existed among all classes In Tork County at that time, occasioned by the apprehension of an outbreak. Judge R. B. Carpenter, Bill Lindsay, (colored,) and other witnesses substantiate the statement. The defence has still other witnesses to examine. The grand jury to-day found true bills against John A. Mitchell et al, John Lyttie et al, and John L. Parker, et al, all of York County, and cbarged with conspiracy. In the cases of Bishop Sandifer and William Thomas son, the grand Jury returned no bill. Details by Mall. COLUMBIA, S. C., December 13. The proceedings In the Ku-Klux Court to? day have been monotonous, the same ground having been gone over by the prosecution in the case of B. H. Mitchell as on yesterday, for the purpose of proving Borne kind of a con? spiracy as having existed in York County. Additional witnesses were called for this pur? pose, who testified very mach as if they had great hopes ot creating an impression favora? ble to themselves, by making statements that would admit of more than one construction. Whether or not these witnesses have learned their lesson well, it appears as if they had tried very hard to do so. The scrutiny of the coun? sel for the defence reached the bottom of the matter, and in every Instance it appeared upon the cross-examination that there bad ex? isted, at the time when lt is alleged a secret organization was formed, a terrible state ot fear and uncertainty as to security of Ute and property. It was shown that numerous gin-houses had been burned, and in some instances dwellings and barns had been destroyed by the ruthless incendiaries. The women of the county were living In a continued state of uncertainty, and when the father left his family in the morning to pursue his dally avocation, the feeling that he might return to find his dwelling in ashes, and his family homeless and houseless, accom? panied him. These are about the tacts that have been elicited to-day upon the cross-ex? amination of the witnesses for the prosecu? tion. It is under this state of feeling that there might have been entered into some kind of concert ot action, In 1868, for mutual protec? tion against evils, imaginary and real, and at the best, a very uncertain siate of society; and it ls this that the government seems inclined to twist into some kind of conspiracy, so as in some way to bring lt within the meaning of a vflgue and uncertain law. It a'so appeared in the . cross-examination that threats had been made that York ville would be burned, and that If tbe election at that time did not go as lt was decired lt should by the blacks, the rumor was prevalent there would be a killing which would embrace all, as lt was expressed, "f.om th? cradle to the grave." The prosecution closed during the afternoon, and the defence was opened by placing upon the Bland Mrs. Julia Rainey, who not only verified ihe facts brought out on the cross-ex? amination concerning the burning of houses and other property, but Btated that she her self had thus lost a giu-house and twenty-five bales ot colton by incendiarism. At the close of the testimony of Mrs. Rainey, which produced a profound sensation, the court adjourned until to-morrow, at eleven ! o'clock. The defence have many more witnesses to testify as L? the alarm, and the cause of the 1 alarm, that existed at the time the people took precautionary measures for gaiety. Among these witnesses are many persons of more than local good repute, who are cognizant of and perfectly familiar with tbe state of affairs that then existed, and the old saw, that lt is a i lODg lane thai ha* no turu, now ?lands a very i good chance of being again verlfied,as the facts will out. Arnon* the witnesses who have been i subpoenaed lt Judge R. B. Carp-nter, who had i Hmple opportunity during the campaign of 1 1870 to observe the condition of the country. i The Interest manifested in this case does not i abate, and If anything ih-re was a larger au- i dlence In tbe court room to-day than on any i day preceding, and among tbe crowd a num- i ber of ladles whose attention to the details of i the evidence was more than observable. The grand jury returned true bills against Edward T. Avery and others, Lawson Arm- i strong and ethers, and Thomas B. Whltesldes and oin. rs, all charged with conspiracy, and i all of York County. FIRE IN YORK COUNTY.-On Monday |morn Ing lad, about two o'clock, the irjn-house situated on the plantation In York County be? longing to our townsman, Mr. W. W. Thom? son, was burned, aud Hs entire contents de? stroyed. Th-re were about fifteen bales of cotton lu the house. The building was broken open, it is supposed, and the fire started on the Inside. Ii was evidently the work of an Incendiary. A few days before the fi e oc? curred, two negroes were cbarged with steal? ing cotton from this .house, one of whom evaded arrest; the other being arrested, gave bail. Whether there ls proof sufficient to fasten this crime upon its perpetrators, we are not Informed.

THE LATEST REPORTS FROM SAND? RINGHAM MORE FAVORABLE. Some Account of the Life of Albert Edward. There seems at last to be some hope of the recovery of the Prince of Wales. The follow? ing are the latest bulletins received by cable from Sandringham: LONDON*, December 14. Dispatches to noon to-day Indicate a slight Improvement in the condition of Wales. SANDRINGHAM, December 14-5 A. M. Wales ls less restless There is no lacrease of exhaustion, and he has had some sleep. LONDON, December 14-2 A. M. There is a slight change for the belter. The Prince had comparative quiet last evening, and the rest last night proved beneficial. SANDRINGHAM, December 14-8 o'clock. Wales slept during the night, and lhere ls Borne abatement of the graver symptoms. SANDRINGHAM. December 14-Noon. Wales has been tranquil this morning, and the gain ot last night, maintained. SANDRINGHAM, December 14-2.30 P. M. There ls no further change reported. Hopes ol recovery are freely expressed. The Prince's Parentage. It ls almost supererogatory to stale that thc {mrents ot the Prince of Wales were her Ma esty Quee.i Victoria and his late Royal High? ness Francis Albert, Prince Consort, who was bv right of bli th Duke of Sixony and Prince of Coburg and Gotha. He: Majesty is the daughter of Edwaid. Duke of Kent, fourth son of George III, and the Ptlncess Victoria Mary Lonlsa of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, relict of the hereditary Prince ol' Lelniniren. Prince A,bert, affectionately remembered in England as "The Blame'ess Prince," and a man who owed bis dignity not so much to rank and power as to manful worth and irue nobility of nature, was the second son of Ernest, Duke of Saxe Coburn Gotha. He was born at Bre? nan. August 26. 1819. and died, universally li mented bv thc people of Great Britain, in the lorty-second year of his age, at London. De? cember 14,1861. He, too, died of fever, re? sulting In congestion ol the lungs-the stcry borne by the cable In detailing the disease of his oldest son, the Prince of Wales-and -as buried amid greater m mi festal ions of popular grief than will probably be chown to the memory of the preseut heir to the throne of England. The world is familiar with the ?ombre shadow cast upon the life of Queen Victoria by the death of her friend and hus? band the Prince Consort. From the date of HER MARRIAGE TO THE PRINCE, February 10th. 1840, to the day of his death, she had ever found In him a wise counsellor, a good husband, and a man who busied hlm selt in endeavoring to gain the directions of her people and to aid In the advancement ot a I useiul systems whereby the working clas? ses and the needy of the metr?poli?, especial? ly, might be benefited. Upon ihe '-Memorial Cairo." erected on a high mountain overlook? ing Balmoral Palace, ia Scotland-the spot, which he so loved and which haa since been ever dear to her widowed heart-she bas hid this Inscription placed : "To ihe beloved mem? ory of Albert, the great and good Prince Con? sort, erected by his broken-hearted widow, VictoriaR. 2lst Augusr, 1862." Many memo? rials of the Prince Consort were set up throughout the United Kingdom; but thc no? blest of them all was the Albert Memorial, or, as lt is belier known, THE ALBERT HALL, erected In London, and which last summer was Inaugurated with imposing ceremonies, the Queen Issuing from her melancholy re? tirement to honor the occasion, which attract? ed to the edifice an Immense multitude of people of all ranks and degrees. Her Majesty nad originally desired tint this memorial should take the shape of an obelisk, to be erected in Hyde Park, on or near the sit-* of Ihe great exhibition of 1851. Shorily ufter, a committee was appointed to midi her Ma? jesty's desire, and contributions of money were sent in-more freely, we are ashamed to say, than has been shown by our people in the case of the unfinished shaft, on Monument Lot, in our city-but, as a suitable block of granite could not be obtained, the proposal for an obelisk was given up, and the plan of a me? morial ti efl 1 was adopted. THE ROTAL FAMILY. The children of the Queen and of ihe Prince Consort are nine in number, all of whom, but one, are living. These are, In the order of their birth, first, the Princess Royal Victoria Adelaide, born November 21, 1840, and mar? ried to the Crown Prince Frederick William of Prussia, (the "Unzer Fritz*1 of the late Franco Prussian war,) of which marriage six children survive; second, his Royal Highness Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, born November 9, 1841; third, her Royal Highness Alice Maud Mary, born April 25,1843, and married July 1, 1862, to Prince Frederick William ol Hesse Darmstadt, who have issue five children; fourth. Prince Alfred,'Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Kent and Eutl ot Ulster, born August 6, 1844, and now a captain in the roy ul navy; fifth, her Royal Highness Helena, boru May 25, 1846, and married July 5, 1866. to Prince Fredei lek Christian of Schleswig-Holstein Augusten borg, who have Issue two children; 6th, her Royal Hig^ ness Louise, born March 18, 1848, who was married a few months ago to the Marquis of Lorne; '.'tb, Prince Arthur, (who visited this country several months ago,) bora May 1, 1850, an 1 who is now a lieutenant in the Rifle Brlga'e; Sib, Prince Leopold, born April 7, 1853; and. 9tb,- Princess Beatrice, born 14th April, 1857. It will thus be seen that the royal family of England ls a large one, entailing vast expenses upon tne taxpayers of the na? tion. But lo come, now, to the centrai figure in this sketch-the man about whose death? bed so macy solemn responsibilities of tho future gather, and who in hts death at this juncture may prove of vastly more importance than he ever was during his lifetime. ALBERT EDWARD, PRINCE OF WALES, was born at Buckinzham Palace, London, on November Olli, 1841. It has been alleged against him that he was intellectually deficient; but il this were so the fault must have lain with his native mental weakness; tor every opportuul iv was provided iu his youth to [ repare sud fit him for the exalted position which, as lt seemed, he was des.hied to fill in the future. He received In lils early boyhood a careful ed? ucational training under the care of compe? tent masters. His instructors at this period vrrte thc Rev. Henry M. Birch, rector of Prest? wich, Mr. Giobs, barrister at law and others. After studying for a session at Edinburgh, he entered Christ Church, Oxiord, where be at? tended the public lectures tor a year. He sf terwarde went to Cambridge, where, still in pursuit ot that knowledge which was never to come to him, he resided, iollowing the usual university lectures for three or four terms. In the summer of the year 1860. during the Presidency of Mr. Buchanan, THE PRINCE VISITEB THE UNITED STATEV sin event, \7hlch was attended with an enthusi? astic deception by the people wherever he weat. The occurrences connected with that rlslt are not as far distant In the past but that the memory of most of ihosa who read these lines will vividly recall the flattering recep? tion which met the beardless youth, wno came to a Republican country, with the prestige upon him of future sovereignty over a great and friendly nation. But when the feasting and revelries-the balls and juuketings- the speeches and the servilities were over, his Roya Highness, with the bloom of boyhood upon hiB face, and reminding men somewhat ol his noble father in bis lineaments, returned lo Enga?ito em er upon the-for him-seri? ous busines of life. SEEING LIFE. The earliest assumption of manhood by the heir-apparent to the English throne wa3 of that kind which might have been expected la a man of his birth, ol his opportunities, and of the traditions ol his cl IFS. In 1858 be had been gazetted to a colonelcy ia the army, end after his return from this country, namely, lu June, 1861, he Joined his regiment In camp at the Curragh. His life there, sauf the attempts at reserve which were due to "his high stand? ing and the restraints imposed upon him by the watchful supervision of his royal mother, exerted through his superior officers, was more of the dllletante and the man of the world than ot ihe officer who hoped to become one day a soldier. The tempo? rary life at camp over, the experimen? tal colonel ot Huzzars duffed his grnidv unl torm. and next-still under the inspiration of his thoughtful mother-turned bis face to the east, and, accompanied by Dean Stanley, a competent guide and tutor, he visited Jeru salem In 1862. In the ensuing year, another important, but barren and fruitless, step was taken In the Prince's Hie. As Duke of Corn? wall he was entitled to the privilege of A SEAT AMONG THE PEERS of the United Kingdom in Parliament. In February. 1863, therefore, he ranged himself among the members of that honorable body In the House of Lords. To his lotty title as Prince of Wales-full of meaning in Hs asso clatiens-he added, besides that of Duke of | Cornwall In the peerage of England, tbe un [ meaning ones of Duke of Rothesay. Baron of Renfrew, (under which designation he travel? led In his Journeyings in various lands.) and Lord cf the Isle in Scotland, and Earl of Dub? lin and Carrick lo Ireland. As owner of the Duchy of Corn wall, which ls an appanage of the Prince ot Wales, he enjoyed the patronage of I twenty-nine livings, which, with the other revenues from the' Duchy, give him an income of more than $300,000 per annum. As Prince of Wales his annuity on tbe civil list amounted to $200,000. As colonel and chief of the Rifle Brigade, (a position equivalent to general,) and as colonel of the Tenth' Hussars, his In? come was probably Increased ?15,000 addi? tional It will thus be seen that the total rev? enues of the Prince were enormous, and were In full keeping wltb his rank. Hts M A rt ?i I AG E. In 1863, on March 10th, the Prince was mar? ried to the Princess Alexandra, (born Decem? ber 1, 1344.) eldest daughter of the King of j Denmark. The marriage was attended with feastlngs and testimonials of popular Joy which were almost without parallel. Tenny? son celebrated the occa?ion in an eplthalaml um; the bells of London were set to ringing, and the Joyous populace strewed the way bf I the fair DaoMi bride wi'.ii flowers. "Wel? come, Alexandra," was inscribed everywhere, and this greeting to thc daughter ol the an? cient Nurse-Kings was depicted ia the faces of all that vast multitude, which on that auspi? cious day filled the thoroughfares of the British capital. From ihi* marriage five child? ren were born, whose names we give accord log to the order of their births: Albert Victor, born 8th January. 1864; George Frederick, boru Juoe 3d, 1865; Louise Victoria, born 20lh of February. 18C7; Victoria Alexandra, born Joly 6th. 1868; and Maude Charlotte, born No? vember 26:h, I860. AFTER MARRIAGE. Since (he time when, under the auspicious I circumstances detailed above, the Prince of Wales cnieied the marriage slate, little of pub- f Ile inion st attaches tp bis name or works. Ia 1867 he became president of St, Bartholomew's Hospital, In London-a passive perform mee which was but a feeble Imitation at best of (he politic course of his excellent father. Occa? sionally he was seea on State occasions, a dull, listless young man who bore his royalty and Its cares like- a heavy burden. His form was familiar on Regent street as he walked with a vacant expression upon lils face, mlldlv puff? ing at his cigar. The old fatality of his ances? tors sat heavily upon him-the curse of mental Imbecility. It ia related of bim that once he drew from tue London canaille a temporary outburst of enthusiasm. At a fire In the pub? lic streets, a spark of his English birth aod breeding nerving him, he worked at the fire engines with the rest with true British pluck: thc noisy mob that to-jay swears that he shall never seat himself upon the throne ot his an- j cestors cheered bim as a true Briton; but the material fire was extinguished, and the mental spark ot vigor died out with it. ECHOES OF THE CLUBS. In this sketch of the Prince of Wales a word mizht be added upon the subject of his char? acter as a man-not for the purpose of retail? ing scandalous chronicles, but in considera? tion of the fact that much of the political agi? tation now prevalent In England Is due to the popular Idea that the heir to the throne of Ed? ward the Confessor was not a pei son who could with entire confidence be admitted into a gentleman's home circle. The echoes from the clubs connect his name with many scan? dalous episodes-episodes In which figure the names ol Mabel Grey, Hortense Schneiderand Lady Morrlaunt; escapades la the purlieus of London and liasons oa thecontloent; recitals of hours spent In the questionable company ol such dissolute nobles as the Dukes of Has? tings aud St. Albans, In the Alhambra; and of nobody koowa who, at Manille and the Cloeerle [ des Lilas, lo Paris. But whatever may be the truth of these dark insinuations-insinuations which have more than once taken palpable chape In print-lt must be mortifying to En? glishmen of feeling to reflect that among a vast element ol the British people the senti? ment was prevalent that upon the tombstone of the sou of a good mother and of a deco? rous father, who was perhaps one dav to rule over them, could not truthfully be Inscribed the lines of their greatest poet : And thus he bore without abase i he grand old name of ajamueman ; Defamed by every charmin, And sod d with all Ignoble use. ORIGIN OF THE ILLNESS. An A ul li o ri; at Ive lt ?fu tatton of I die Rn- ! mora*-Tue Opening Symptoms. T.-om the London Times, November 29.] The illness of hts Royal Highness the Prince of Wales ls understood to date from his recent visit to Lord Londesborough. Typbold fever Is j known to be a zymotic fever, arising usually Irom a poison generated by sewage. The more severe effects of this poison are to pro? duce the lever; Its minor effects are to inouce ! less sei icm forms of constitutional disturb? ance. Several of the members or the distin? guished party assembled at Lord Londes Bon ugh's hou-e, which is in the neighborhood ol Scarborough, have suffered more or less se? vere y irom such symptoms. Lord Chester? field, we regret to learn, bas since his rotura home boon attacked with typhoid fever In a very severo form. The symptoms declared them-clveB somewhat later than was the case with his Royal Highness the Prince pf Wales, but the attack is apparently more severe. Turning to the bulletins which have been re? ceived from Sandringham, weare reluctantly obliged to admit (hut, while affording the lull? est ecope for well founded expectations of a happy termination, they are such as still lo give grouuds for anxiety. The attack from the xii st was sharp, and we know that when a royal bulletin announces in guarded terras lhat the fever ls strong and the nights are unquiet, this Implies that lhere ls more or less cf deliri? um, and that the affection ls acute. It is understood that lt has been so with his Royal H ghncss. On the other hand, there are good grounds for the moat consolatory reflections and the most encouraging auticlpallr ns in the fact that the fever bas now reached the six? teenth day without any ol those complications which constitute the real danger of typhoid, lar more than the uncomplicated disease itself, even in its strongly developed type?. Again, although youth is not so marked un advantage for ibo patient In this disorder as io Its cog? nate affect ion, typhus, yet lt counts for some? thing. and as tar as Us influence goes, inclines the balance always toward a happy, speedy and unimpeded recovery. It is important to remember that this fever belongs to the class which have slated periods of Incubation, vary? ing very considerably lt is true, and a fixed course ot days through which they run. In a very mild case a satisfactory termination might be expected in twenty-one days; a well marked attack such as this cannot be expected to terminate favorably before the twenty fourth or iwenty-elghih day, or lt may be a lit? tle later.

A document has been issued by prominent insurgents, who have lately surrendered to the government, and which ls signed by the two Recios, Sandivar. several Aqniros, three Bor? ros, Belancourt, Melchor, Bolnel, two Varo? nas, and over three thousand two hundred others of less Importance, dated at Puerto Principe, and says : "In future we will adhere to the throne of Spain, and are now disposed to aid the government. We have seen our Illusions vanish, because tbe country failed to support us and foreigners (ailed to send us aid The government of Spain ls now sufficiently strong to maintain the Integrity of the territo? ry." The document further says that the In? surgents now In the field are mostly negroes under the leadership of Ignacio Agralonte, who rebelled against C?spedes. Not a house ls lett standing In the whole country between Los Tunas and Movon, and the desolation that prevails ls terrible. All hopes of the Insur? gents succeeding, politically, have been given up. and the destruction ot .the ooun-try has been rapidly going on. Tbe negroes are working lo make themselves masters .o? tne situation, and arc dominant in the districts lately held by the insurgents. The surrender? ed Insurgents who signed the document?t Los Tunas protest against prolongation of the fight, and consider the salvation of Ihe country obtained, and look for? ward to reconstruction and an early peace. The signers praise tho qualities of Valinaseda and his police to attract the Insurgents, and ask the King to make con? cessions to the Island after peace shall have been established, remaining as a specialty as liberal constituents. Thc signers abjure their past acts, and believe that they repre? sent the majority of their party, or fifteen thousand Insurgents, who nave surrendered during the paqt year in the central depart? ment of the State, individually and collect? ively, and that they are ready lo pertorm whatever duty may be required of them as good and honest Spaniards. The Gaceta newspaper publishes the docu? ment of the surrendered insurgents in Its edition of to morrow. The document, ls con? sidered a nure blow to the Insurgents, on ac? count ol the influence of the signers. NEW TORE ITEMS. NEW YORK, December 14. The cotton firm ol Wm. P.
