How the Chinamen Manufacture Manure A ship at San Francisco is receiving a a cargo of—what iloes the reader suppose? Shrimps! Yes, shrimps'. And for what purpose it will be inquired. To be used as a fertilizer, to be sure. They are boil ed, dried in the sun, ground to a powder, and in this state sprinkled over the soil. The Chinese have taught us something in this; for we understand the valuable freight, consisting of 2000 sacks of pul-" vtrized shrimps, is intended for Hong Kong. They were caught bv Chinamen, along the Marin County shore, and by Chinamen prepared thus for shipment. This is said to be a regular business with the Celestials, giving employment to two hundred men. Josh Billings thus speaks of a new agri cultural implement, to which the attention of larnters is invited: “John Rogers’ re volving, expanding unecrimonious, self oontrakting, self-sharpening,self-greasing, and self-righteous hoss rake iz now and forever offered to a generous publik.— These rakes tire az easy to keep in repair az a hitching post, and will rake up a pa per of pins sowed broad kast in a ten aker lot of wheat stubbles. These rakes can 1 be used in winter for a hen roost, or be sawed in stove wood for the kitchen fire. No farmer of good moral karakter should bo without one, even if he has to steal it.” Never whip your horse for becoming frightened qt any object by the roadside; for if he secs a stump, a log, or a heap of tan bark in the road,and while he is eyeing it carelully and about to pass it, you strike him with the whip, it is the log,. or the stump, or the tan bark that is hurting him, in his way of reasoning, and the next time he will act more frightened. Give him time to examine and smell these ob jects. NEIF PUBLICATIONS.

Edmund F. Shafter. It is a discourse rich in historical and genealogical matter, not only worthy of the respect of the society to whom it was ad dressed but tending to cultivate in the reader a love for family and a desire to gather up the broken links of the past. Harper and Brothers have just issued sev oral volumes to be added to their paper cover Library of Select Novels.

glailn Junnrkf Journal AUGUS T.A.. MONDAY MORNING. NOV. 21. 1870. There is great activity in the Navy Yards of the United States, indicating that the government is alive to its interests as af fected by the late threatening appearances in Europe. The reports of recent Trench successes arc not sustained by all the despatches received. General Palladincs is the hero of the hour in Paris, and well may lie. for he alone of all the French generals has met with any success, but it is not yet cer tain how long he will wear his laurels. The meeting of the State Educational Association to-day will be a gathering of special Importance. More and more it is being felt and recognized that the educa tion of the masses of the people is the foundation of good government and social happiness and prosperity, to promote which these annual State meetings of leading and active minds are powerful agencies. The new Spanish kiu>; enters upon the honors and cares of the place which he has assumed under rather promising cir cumstances. Should he succeed in hold ing his throne against the factions already opposed to him, and in .-pile of the jeal ousy and vacillation of his present sup porters, he will have to exercise more ability than ho is credited with,or lie aided by fortune to an uncommon degree. The old world civilization is making but a poor display of itself in this latter part of the nineteenth century. English polities arc quite as noisy as American. A late London paper -ays that one Mr. Baxter Langley on presenting himself at a meeting at the Colchester Theatre, was met by a storm of discor dant noises, and jx'Itc.i with copies of the address of Sir Henry Storks. In the midst of the uproar a placard was dis played, which informed the candidate that be would get r.o welcome in Colchester until he was invited to come; so, after waiting in vain fur a hearing fora quarter of ao hour, he retired, accompanied by hi. friends. coy SOL IDA TIOX. The opinion of Judge Barrows up the mo tion for an injunction against the Maine Cen tral Kail road, presents a thorough examina tion and discussion of ail the questions invol ved in the case, am> gives a decided and em phatic denial to the prayer of the petition ers. After reciting the substance of the com plaint and allegations and prayer of the petit ioners, the Judge says that in order to justify him in interfering in the summary manner pro posed in the management of the affairs of the defendant corporation, the illegality of the proposed acts and consequent serious injury to the complainants ought to he made clearly to appear. ThU he believes lias not been done. He finds no illegality in the election of the present board of Directors of the Maine Central, consequently no illegality in their; acts on that account. Beside, the waiting ot the complainants five months after the elec-1 tion, and after all the open steps which said directors have taken, make it too late to make such complaint now. Neither does he sec any of the evils which the complainants fear will result from the changes proposed and in pro cess by the directors. “On the contrary,” says he, “I incline to the belief that the road has suffered heretofore from a want of uni formity gauge with the roads extending west; that business has been diverted from it and that it has failed to afford the facilities for the people along its line to send their commodities, especially perishable ones, to market, which aeilities, but for that, the people and the rail road might have enjoyed and improved to their mutual advantage.” The defendants are jus tified in extending their road from Danville Junction by the laws ot l*i;7, chap. 251. Neither is there any breccli of contract for this reason with the Grand Trunk Company, as the only such contract shown contains a provision for its termination upon six months notice, which is abeut expiring. Nor because a change of gauge might affect other existing contracts with other railroads in the eastern part of the State, as alleged, is intervention jastifiablc. The right of a railroad corpora tion to manage and control its property and business connections, and among other things to determine ami change its gauge was dis tinctly recognized by the court in the case of the Androscoggin Kennebec Railroad Com pany vs. Androscoggin Railroad Company 52 Maine 430. upon mu compiaini v.un.-ouuauon win create a monopoly we quote the remarks of Judge Harrows in full, because this is a mat tar much harped upon. He says The hill further charges the individual de fendants with combining to control these two leading and competing lines of railroad, art# in •fleet to create a monopoly vested m themselves and with power to impose at pleasure such bur dens as rates of fare and freights upon the busi ness of the people of the State as would en ure to tlieir individual profit and advantage, re gardless of the rights of others. How this course, if itwere pursued, would operate to the injury of these complainants as stockholders in one of the corporations which is to consti tute the monopoly, is not readily seen; hut assuming that the complainants intervene from the most disinterested motives of philanthro py and public policy, 1 can only say that I know of no power vested in me to prohibit the practical consolidation of these roads unless 1 find it prohibited in the statutes of the .Stale. Jt is the law-making and not the law -interpret ing power, which must furnish the means to protect tile public ag tinst the alleged evils of consolidation, if such protection is required. I cannot base my interference with the dis position that this corporation and its mana ger* claim to make of its affairs, upon the somewhat rhetorical statement in the bill td evil results which 1 cannot presume will fol low. I hope and believe, on the contrary, that the day w ill some day come, when tin managers of these corporations will see ideal ly that tlieir true interests are identical will; those of the public st large along these lines, and that the greatest facilities afforded at tin lowest rates consistent with the sate manage ment of the business at a reasonable profit, will in the long run prove to he the best poli cy, even if selfishness is to control tlieir op orations instead of public spirit. He then inquires if our laws prohibit tin lease of the l’ortlaud and Kennebec Ktiilroat to the Maine Central, from which point we copy the remainder of the opinion “Before proceeding to pass upon this, the principal question presented here, let us look and see precisely what the defendants under took to do. and did in part do, prior to and at the meeting of the corporation on the 31st of May. On the 13th of May the presidents and a majority of the legally elected directors of both roads signed two contracts, providing for the proposed lease, and for the issue of stock and scrip to equalise the amounts between the par ties, upon the assumption that the intrinsic value of the two roads, one of them 109 and the other 110 miles in length, was the same. It is asserted by the complainants that this valu ation was radically incorrect, and the arrange ment a ruinously unequal one for the Maine Central. Looking at the testimony here pre sented. I find nothing to justify tlie assertion. Giving, I believe, due heed to the means of knowledge and to the value of the judgment of those who have testified upon that point,my conclusion is that the allegations in the bill of the superior vaiue of the Maine Central over the other line, are not maintained; and I am slow to believe that men of the large business capacity, and having such large interests at stake as some of these defendants had in the Maine Central,could be so egregiously deceiv ed in the matter of comparative values. At all events, in my judgment tne evidence nere pro duced preponderates against that hypothesis. One of the contracts provides that the stock to he issued to the Portland Kennebec liail 1 road Company as part of the consideration of this lease, and both the contracts shall be deposited with Hon. Joseph II. illianis, to 1 he held by him to abide the disposition of the j suit in equity pendingat the time the contracts I were drawn’and signed, infavor of the Kenne bec and Portland Railroad Company, against the Portland Kennebec Railroad Company, and to be returned to the Maine Central Rail road Company, in case the Portland Kenne bec Railroad Company were divested, in con sequence of said suit, of any part of their line; in which case the leased property was to be re stored to the party feund entitled to its posses sion. the lease to he cancelled, and the income of the property while in possession of the les sees divided as equity should require; and the evidence shows that tile stock and contracts were thus placed in the hands of Mr. Williams. This disposition would seem sufficiently to se cure the interests of the Maine Central and the complainants, so that all the allegations in the bill in relation to that suit and its merits might well be passed by, even were it not the fact that a majority of this court have concur red in dismissing that bill and holding the fore closure in the bands of the Portland Ken nebec Railroad Company perfected. While I did not concur in that decision, I acquiesced in it as a determination of the cause, and can attach no importance to the allegation that the proposed lease is in fraud of the rights of the Kennebec Portland Railroad Company and liable for that reason to be annulled. The allegation that the stock insured to the Portland and Kennebec company in pursuance of the contract was delivered to Richard 1). Rice, in order to prevent the bona fide stock holders of the Maine Central railroad com pany from retaining the control thereof, 1 must consider as disproved. It does not ap pear that any one voted on these shares upon the question of the ratification of the contract, hut the stockholders of the Maine Central on the Jl-t of May, by a very decided majori ty, on a heavy stock vote, refused to post pone the consideration of the question of the ratification of these contracts, and thereupon by a lighter vote, hut without any voice in the negative, proceeded to ratify the con tracts. It is claimed that this ratification was illegal and of no effect because Messrs. Lockwood and Dunn threw a greater number of votes and pretended to represent a greater number of shares than the largest number held by any individual stockholder in the corporation, which, it is asserted, is contrary to the law. The affidavit of Mr. Drummond established the fact that the practice has prevailed for many years, both in the Androscoggin and Kennebec and Maine Central companies, for the use of proxies by any party without re gard to the number of shares held by any one member of the corporation, and my attention has not been called to anything in the charter, by-laws, or the general law of the State, that makes such a practice illegal. It seems to me to he a forced construction of the by-laws which would prohibit it, and inconvenient and. for ought I can see. useless for the pro tection of any substantial rights of the stock holder. It is hardly necessary to remark that this hearing has produced nothing in the way of evidence in support of the allegations in the hill of fraudulent combination and intent among the individual defendants. It would seem then that both the directors and stockholders of this company, by a major ity so decided as to impress one somewhat for cibly with the earnestness of their conviction that the measure was one calculated to pro mote the common interest, have done what they could to establish this arrangement for a lease ol the one road to the other, so that both might be placed under one management and operate no longer as rival and competing roads, lleyond vague general prediction of ruin and calamity, nothing has been placed before me to show that the interests of these com plainants as stockholders are likely to gutter thereby. What there is of evidence tends rath er to the contrary, and to show that pending these negotiations and after they were com pleted, the stock of the Maine Central con tinued to advance from the very low figure at which it has stood in past years. It remains to he considered whether the in crease should be prohibited or forbidden by existing laws. The complainant* rely upon section 31, chapter 51, of the Revised Statutes of 1857, by which it is provided that no such corpor ation can assign its charter or any right under it, lease orgrant the use or control of its road or any part of it, or divest itself there of, without the consent of the legislature. If this were all, the case would be clear, and the acts and contracts under consideration must be deemed unlawful, lint the respondents claim I that “the consent of the legislature" has been obtained, and cite an “Act to authorize the I consolidation of certain rail road corporations." approved April 1, 185t>, and amended March 17 18ii2, which authorizes in express terms the consolidation of the Androscoggin and Kenne bec railroad company, the Androscoggin rail road company, and the Penobscot Kenne j bee railroad company, or any two of them, and contains the further provision that any corpor ation named in this Act and corporation found under it, end the Kennebec and Port land and the Somerset Kennebec railroad corporations, or either of said corporations, are hereby authorized to let or lease their roads, franchise of property or for hire, or to contract with any individual or other railroad corporation,for the running ami managing of the same for a term of years, &c. j Under this act the Maine Central railroad company, of which the complainants claim to he members,was organized in 1802 |,y the con solidation of tiie Androscoggin Kennebec and Penobscot Kennebec railroad compa re and to that extent it is not in the months j of these complainants to deny the continued j existence and validity of the act. Yet they c laim here that the consent of the Legislature expressed as above, was revoked by the subse quent passage of Revised Statutes of 1857 chapter 51, section 81, and rely upon the later j act as conclusive upon ttie rights of these par ties. If this question arose between them and the Kennebec Portland railroad company, 1 think it would he very clear that their position i would not he maintainable. The Kennebec Portland railroad company had a charter granted in 18:1(1, which was expressly exempt ed from all liability to be amended, altered or repealed at tile pleasure of the Legislature. Revised Statutes chapter51, section 111, is a re vision of an act concerning railroads passed, in 1852, chapter 247, providing among other tilings that no railroad company should have i power without the express authority of the Legislature therefor, to lease its road or any portion thereof to any person or corporation. It was in view of that law, then existing, that the Legislature gave the express authority re quisite to enable the Kennebec and Portland railroad company to lease their road, and that power once conferred became in the hands of the Kennebec and Portland railroad company one of their chartered rights, not subject to revocation or repeal. Moreover I do not find that the repeal of the act of April 1, 185(1, has ever been designed or attempted by the Leg islature. There is nothing in sec. 31, chap. 5J of the Revised Statutes of 1857. which seems to contemplate the withdrawal of the Legislative consent once expressly given, un der a general law substantially similar (Laws of 1852, chap. 247). .Kor is the act of April 1, 185ti, anywhere included among the acts ex pressly repeated in the revision of the Statutes in 1857. It was claimed and published as a private act, and private nets were not the sub ject of revision. And if from its general char acter, as additional to an act of incorporation, it was to be deemed a public act, it would still be found nowhere included among the acts re pealed either expressly or by implication. The very existence of the defendant corpora tion in which the complainants have such an interest depends upon it. It must be held that under it the Kennebec and Portland rail road company would have the right to make the lease in question. virtue of section 57, chapter M of the Revised Statutes of 1857, and of the proceedings for the foreclosure of their mortgage upon the Kenne bec l’ortland railroad company, they have acquired all the chartered rights of that com pany whenever accruing, and among the rest the right to lease in question. And here arises the principal difficulty in the case. When the mortgage, under which the respondents hold the Kennebec Portland Railroad, was made, the right to lease had not been conferred and was not in existence. Was it included in the mortgage? The respondents rest upon the broad language of section 57, constituting them a “company incorporated as of the day of the foreclosure, for all the purposes of the original company, with all the chartered and legal rights and immunities which pertained to the original company at the time of the foreclosure.” But is it so certain that an act of the Legislature can avail to transfer n right not in existence at the time of the making of the mortgage, hut accruing to the mortager between that time, and the time of foreclosure Did not that right remain in the Kennchec Portland railroad company and die with it? Nevertheless, the Portland and Kennebec railroad company are in most, if not all, legal respects, the successors and assigns of the Kennebec and Portland railroad company, and it is not enough for the complainants to throw a doubt upon the legal propriety of this tran saction. to entitle themselves to the remedy by the injunction here asked for. The very section of the statutes upon which they rely 31) prescribes the appropriate remedy for its violation “On complaint of a violation of the provis ions, the Attorney General is to file an in junction, in the nature of a writ of quo war ranto against the corporation, and the Court may enter such decree as justice and equity require.” in the Knglish practice an injunction is sel dom applied until the question of legal right has been determined by proceedings at law. The process by injunction, referred to in the statutes, is already pending before the Court. Under all the circumstances, the complain ants may properly be required to abide its de termination. Prayer for injunction denied. POLITICAL. A general registry law for large cities in the election of members of Congress, is likely to be one of the measures of the next ses sion. The Binghampton (N.

Mr. G. with three of his neighbors, one of whom had had experience in California, worked a little over four days with the usual sluice arrange ments and got six ounces, worth about #15 an ounce. The specimen shown has been pro nounced excellent gold, worth Sl'J or #1'0 an ounce. /The deposit is not extensive and bears evidence of being washed from neigh boring highlands. There are several deposits known to the party, which they propose to work hereafter. The Machias Republican says that recently a son of Mr. Frank M. Gctchell of Marshfield, died, us is supposed, from eating poisonous berries. On the Friday previous, he with two other boys went into the pasture and picked ivy and other plums and ate heartily of them. On the morning of the lltli, he was quite un well and his mind somewhat deranged. About noon he went into a fit from which he did not recover. Mr. James Shuplcigh of Great Kails, X. H., owns a slate ledge in Lebanon. He lias quarried some fine specimens. Since Sept. 1, over 4000 feet of smooth slate stone have been taken out, some of the sheets measuring 90 feet upon the surface, from one to three inches thick. In the spring Mr. S. proposes to erect a steam mill to saw and finish the stone. On Tuesday morning fire was discovered in the store of A. I). Batchelder, North Paler mo, which with its contents was entirely con sumed. The dwelling house with its porch, long shed and stable attached, were saved without much damage. Cause of fire un known. The store and goods were lightly in sured. The frame of the new hotel at Wells Beach, being built by H. B. Davis and W. A Wors ter, of Great Kails. N. II., is up, and forty workmen are rushing the work along. The Biddeford Journal says when completed this house will compare favorably with any on the coast. A painter named Snowman, aged 40, was found suffocated in his room in Stafford block Portland. Kriday morning. He was some what intoxicated and upset a lamp in his room, causing fire enough to 6ufi'ocate him with smoke. The Eastport Sentinel says the duties col lected upon imports in that district during the month of October amounted to $11,29G. Mr. George A.

Hocal anti State Nctos. The olJ Kennebec bridge is now as strong as the day when it was new. The North Vassalboro’ Mills suspended op erations on Friday last, on account of scarcity of water. The stallion Gen. Knox has been removed to Augusta from North Vassalboro’, to the residence of his owner, Col. T. S. Lang. A gentleman who rode from Smithficld to this city on Friday morning, informs us that the hoofs of the horses were all covered with now. We had none here. Evergreen boughs are the best things that nature has provided for purpose of banking dwelling houses, although a great many per sons use edgings, slabs, sawdust and leaves. l’rof. Allen is pronounced by those who know him best, a second Gough. On Friday evening at the Institute, the gas failed, but the l’rofessor kept his audience in good humor by his witticism and his keen and telling remark Mr. George Phillips of North Vassalboro’, an aged man, while at work in his field on Fri day last, broke one of his legs below the knee joint, by a heavy stone falling on it that he was lifting at the time. At a fashionable resort for card playing in this city, it would b* well for the proprietor to keep his eye on the clock Saturday nights, and see to it that the small hours of Sunday did not find them busily engaged in that same unlawful business. N. W. The early train to Bangor will be put on this morning. Persons from Bangor can come through on the afternoon train from that city, tariy here over night, and take the early train for Boston the next morning. Business men will appreciate this saving of time. Our correspondent informs us that one day last week a Mrs. Rowe of Smithficld. was badly burned by the explosion of a kerosene lamp. The lamp had very carelessly been left sitting upon a hot fire frame. The clothes were nearly all burned from the person of Mrs. Rowe, and had it not been for the timely assistance of her husband, she must have per ished. As it was she was burned very badly and is not altogether out of danger. j nerc win an interesting icature at ini' closing exercises of the Institute on Friday evening. Gen. Henry Boynton of this city offered two prizes to the teachers who should pass the most satisfactory examination. About sixty teachers were examined. The first prize, a five dollar gold piece, was given to Miss Juliette Stanley of Winthrop; and the second, a fine gold pen and stock, to Mr. J. IX Smith of Monmouth. The newly elected officers of Bethlehem Lodge of this city, will be installed this even ing at Masonic Hall, at 7 o’clock. It is ex pected that the ceremony will be conducted by M. W. G. M. of the Grand Lodge of the State of Maine, John II. Lynde of Bangor. l)ep. Grand Master David Cargill of this city, and Hist. Dep. Grand Master 1). C. Palmer of Gardiner, and others eminent in the broth erhood, will be present. A cordial invitation is extended to Augusta lodge and other mem bers of the fraternity. We have been permitted to examine j'ie manuscript of the history of Bethlehem Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, of this city, written by Hcv. Win. A. Drew, and to be published by the Grand Lodge, with the histories of similar lodges. The petition for Ill u t

1 [0 >ld k, ind in’ the charter of the lodge was dated June 1821, ami signed by the late Hon. Daniel Cony and nineteen others. The petition was approved and a charter granted bearing date July 30, 1821. Bethlehem Lodge was duly organized by the ehoice of the late lion. Henry Weld Fuller as its first Master. This was the fourth lodge chartered by the Grand Lodge, “Hermon” at Gardiner, “Waterville” at Waterville, and “Somerset" at Norridgc wock, now at Skowhegan, being the only lodges authorized to work before it. The storm of persecution and prejudice burst upon the institution of Masonry, when Bethlehem Lodge was but five years old. During that short time, however, it did good service in the cause of humanity, and introduced into the Temple several excellent workmen, among whom was the late honorable and beloved Luther Severenee, the founder of the Kenne bec Journal and the projector of the Kenne bec dam. During the Morgan excitement Bethlehem lodge preserved its existence, and did not, like some others, surrender its char ter, but its altar was sacredly guarded and its lights kept burning. On the establishment of the seat of government in this city, in 1821, the Grand Lodge removed to this city. In 1842 not a single lodge in the State was repre sented in the Grand Lodge. Its annual meetings were held in a private room of the Augusta House, and Benjamin Davis of Beth lehem lodge kept its jewels concealed in one of the chambers of his own dwelling on State street. In 1843, Bethlehem lodge having resumed work, was represented by its mas ter, Joseph K. Abbott, Esq. From that time masonry revived in this lodge and in fact in all the lodges throughout the State. In 1844 the Grand Lodge was removed to Portland, where it now is. The rec ords of Bethlehem lodge were destroyed in the fire of 18G5, and Mr. Drew was com pelled to compile most of the remaining his tory of the lodge from other sources. The following are the names of those who have lerved as Masters of the lodge Joseph It. Abbott, Leroy Bacon, Win. A. Drew, B. A. G. Fuller, Eri Wills, Geo. W. Jones, Leon ard Goss, Moses E. Damien, D. C'. Stanwood, Elias Hedge, Geo. S. Mullikcn, Fred llam lcn, J. W. Toward, Stephen Barton, N. W. Cole, S. W. Lane, Fred A. Crowell. The loss of Bethlehem lodge by the great fire of ’do was about $1500. The cost of furnishing the new hall, at the present time occupied by the lodge, was $2040. It was dedicated and the officers installed Dec. 4, 18GG. During the last quarter of 18G3 the lodge held 17 com munications, regular and special. In GG it assembled G2 times. In 18G7 its meetings were 42 in number. In 18G8 it held 32 com munications. In 18G9 it was called to labor 25 times, and in 1870 it has held 19 meetings. In the offices of charity Bethlehem lodge has from its first organization always been ready and willing to minister to the wants of worthy brethren, their widows and orphans. Within the last five years ten deceased brethren have been buried by the lodge with masonic* honors. Within the same period five members have been tried on complaint of “unmasonic con duct,” the result of which was that two were expelled, two suspended during the pleasure of the lodge, and one reprimanded by the Worshipful Master. One suspended for in temperance was restored by Vis subsequent reformation. The greatest celebration ever conducted by this lodge took place on St. dolin'* day, June 25th, lfcHO. Numerous lodges were present. There was-a procession, addresses and dinner. Some of the members of the lodge have distinguished themselves in the arts, sciences and in public stations. Amongst its distinguished members in civil life may he mentioned the venerable and hon orable Daniel Cony, one of the fathers of Maine. Hon. Nathan Weston, Chief Justice of the S. ,1. Court, lion. Joshua Cage, and Hon. l.uther Sevcreiicc, both representatives of this district in the Congress of the United States, and lion. A. II. Nichols, Clerk of the judicial court, and Secretary of State.

In the first place, you state that you “are prepared to make tirsl class work.” Now w ill you please inform me how you can get up first class work when you hav’nt even a second class workman The man you call your Trunk maker (aud 1 believe you have but one man von call so) has never served’any time at the busi ness, and until he commenced’work for you has been employed as a Carnage Trimmer and Harness Maker. o’u also state that von “can sell Trunks at prices thatdefy competition.” Now you must know heller than to make this statement. I am fully con vinced that Messrs.Ooller Gardinercan manufac ture and sell you Trunks at a good profit —twenty live per rent, cheaper than you can manufacture the same class of work for this very reason—they em ploy none hut llrst class w orkmen, men that ha\ e served their time at the Uusines and understand it in all it.- branches, and can make anything in the line, from a cheap Paper Trunk to a No. 1 Sole Leather; and all the stock that they Use is bought at hoaihiuarters and in large quanta it And now, Gentlemen, toh l you aud the public know that 1 have served my time at the business, 1 insert the follow ing certificate “To all whom it may concern This is to certify, that Mr. D.

Col. Garibaldi, nephew of the General i in Lyons, win re he has formed a new l reside of \oluuteers, and completed Garibaldi's staff. Incessant activity pr-vails at the War Office in Full Mall, and at the Admiralty in h i tc I Kill. 'I ll Duke of Cambridge bus taken up bis quarters at tbe War Office and all Lords of the Admiralty remain constantly at White hall. Work goes on night and day preparing lot war. A war meeting will he culled at Motision House early next week to strengthen hands. The government is insisting that Kussia shall withdraw her pretensions or he com pelled to do 80. All ironclads and a number of wooden vessels and transports are tilting up lor sea. The World's correspondent at Ycrsaillt s on the 15th, says it really seems as it no bombardment is possible before spring. It is the siege of Troy over again. German guns are literally stuck in the mud, and constant labor is being employed in attempting to make practicable roads, but it is nearly all in vain. Should a sortie now occur with great difficulty the Germans could only bring a small number of guns into ac tion. The entrenchment in the rear of their positions to guard against an attack from the direction of Orleans proceeds slowly. London, Xov. 20. Article 9 of the treaty of ’.’id is regarded as a barrier to the war, especially when considered in connection with the protocol of April 23d of the same year. This article as explained by the pro tocol requires reference of questions which may answer to the friendly power preliminary of any' act of hostility. An overt act not a declaration, however hostile it may be in tone, is necessary to constitute a breach of the treaty. Uussia in case of a revision of the treaty will consent to no restriction on free action of the Czar. There is much remark in diplomatic cir cles on the impudence ot Gladstone in writ ing to the Times on the situation over tile signature of Scrutator. A communication in reply appears from Max Muller. It is un dertsood that liismarck is extremely vindic tive towards Gladstone in consequeuce of his comments on the Prussian polici, which he has made or inspired in publih print. Despatches frem Florence state that the Italian Government has certainly declined to join in the Diplomatic movement against Uussia. llussell's pamphlet just issued has been suppressed at the suggestion of his friends. Humors continue to circulate in regard to the proposed concentrated attack on the Ger man position before Paris. The time fi.xed.for the grand move is said to be next Monday or Tuesday. A warlike feeling decidedly prevails over all Kngland. An important division exists in the Cabinet on the Russian question, which will likely lead to the dissolution of the Min istry. Granville insists that Kngland must now put down lice foot firmly or forever give up her voice in Kuropean affairs. He holds that the present attitude of Uussia means the future it not the immediate prosecution of her long cherished designs on the east. The present moment is the only time when ling land can hope to resist successfully a policy against which heretofore the has fought at great sacrifice of life and treasure. Low and Cardwell have positively arrayed against the war on the present issue. The Conservatives are about to call a meet ing at London to consider the crisis. In view of the early convocation of Parlia ment Gladstone hesitated to commit himself for or ugainstwarou the present provocation. The French report that severe skirmishes have lately taken plaee around Paris and in the direction of Tours, in which the Chians were repulsed. The towns of lVrrichot, Hois and Toyers have been burnt. A strong Prussian column has arrired He i tween Hosny and Bettccote. Garabaldi disregarding all protests has ro tired from Dole. Military executions for mutiny are common to the From h liues. The German ship Kstafetto returning from the South St a, entered the port of Havre and was promptly seized. Her men had not heard 1 of war. Several French frigates are cruising about in the North Sea and English Channels. The Tours Government published a state ment to the effect that the German shipping has been nearly driven from the Pacific Ocean as well as from the .South Sea by the French cruise rt. The World's correspondent at St. Peters burg on the 15th says an imposing iron clad Russian squadron will shortly make its ap pearance in the Dardenelles, and a military force will apgear on the Danube if Vienna and Constantinople are less compliant than Russia. I gnat iff'started for Constantinople furnished with very explicit instructions. To-night the prevailing opinion in London clubs was that if Prussia decline to he a party during the continuance of the present war to the re-opening of the Eastern question, Russia will find it neeessrry to cecede from her posi tion. In German circles there it a strong convic tion that there will be no war. In case of war large numbers of forces now serving in India will be drafted into the Turkish army, and a I ccnsiderahle portion of Madras' army will he j sent to Turkey. llcrlin. Rerlin, Nov. 19.
