Great Britain.—Severe storms raged along the coast of England, resulting in many marine disasters. The ship “Spendthrift,” bound for London with a cargo of tea from Shanghai, China, foundered near Dnngemess, only fifty miles from the port. Daring the last hurricane on tho Eastern coast ten fisher-boats, with a crew of about GO people, men and boys, were en gulfed by the furious waves. Numerous wrecks of fisher-boats were seen near tho coast of Hol land, and in the North Sea. The melancholy fate of these hardy seamen has deprived above thirty wives and sixty children of .their support in Great Yarmouth. A Congress of importers of petroleum oil from London, Hamburg, Antwerp, and several other cities, had assembled in the metropolis. They passed resolutions calling upon the Ameri can exporters to pledge themselves to brand tho taro and weight upon the barrels as well a3 to allow two per cent deduction for petroleum ab sorbed by tho wood. These resolutions will bo forwarded to New York, Boston and 1 Philadel phia. Many great grain firms in Liverpool have failed. Several of them had large connections with this country. The Anglo-American Telegraph Company has leased one of its cables to a German company for the term of fire years. Queen Victoria, after a long time appeared once more in public, but still wearing widow’s weeds. She opened the Holbom Viaduct and Blackfrior’s Bridge across tho Thames, with adequate ceremonies.' The Qneen has lost much of her former popularity by persevering in her secluded life, far from the capital of the Empire, Tho 0th of November, Lord-mayor's day, was celebrated with the customary antiquated pomp in London. At the banquet in Guildhall, Glad stone alluded to the satisfactory relations of Englqpd with all foreign Powers. A society, “The Labor Representation League,” has been formed, with a view of send ing working-men to Parliament. Several assassinations are reported from Ire land, whore the Fenians contmne agitating. Tho Catholic clergy condemns the movement. The whole scientific and educated world takes the deepest interest in Dr. Livingstone’s impor tant discoveries in Africa, He seems to have discovered the sources of the Nile at last, and the map of Africa will, prooably, be greatly changed. Should the news prove correct, Dr. Livingstone will have proeen that Ptolomaeus, already seventeen centuries ago, placed them in the right latitude. Advices from Sidney, Australia, report that preser vation of the peace of Europe. Two laws, respectively fixing the age of ma jority and abolishing the limits lions imposed oft the suretyship of females were passed in the Prussian Parliament. The discussion onDr. Eberty’s bill, providing that political misdemeanors and offences of the press bo henceforth included in the ooeapetency of juries, was resumed, and the bill finally car ried. In the following discussion of the budget for 1870, Camphansen, the new Minister of Fi nances, told the House that he was not yet able to furnish the Chamber with a complete and formal statement of the financial position of the country. He added that he would endeavor, while strictly respecting tho claims of public cred itors, to procure greater facilities to the State for the extinction of national indebtedness. He was of the opinion that with an estimated budget certainly showing a deficit of 5,400,000 thsSers, bat at the same time providing the means of extinguishing 8,C66,000 thalers of old debts, Prussia might be envied by most European States. Long cheers followed the speech of the Minister. In consequence of tho many dangerous, end too often fatal accidents, to which females es pecially on the stage, are exposed by the infl£- mability of their dresses, tho committee for Trade and Industry have made known a prepa ration, which, when properly applied, renders muslins and all such light materials quite incom bustible. This valuable preservative is the body known as tnngstate of soda; bnt a mixture of the tnngstate with the phosphate may be em ployed instead. It may be either mixed wit& the size in the manufacture of light tissues, ot added to the starch in washing articles of cloth ing. Tho Berlin general agent of the bankrupt Life Insurance Company “Albert,” George Lervine, who was arrested about six weeks ago, was set at liberty on furnishing bail to the amount of 10,000 thalers. Italy.—The ministerial crisis long pending, has at last come to a dose. In a sitting of the Cabinet, all ministers resolved to tender the King their resignation*. It is rumored that Vic tor Emanuel, who is said to have contracted a morganatic marriage daring his recent illness, will, ere long, lay down his crown. - Wo aro on the eve of the Ecumenical Coun cil. Ona hundred fifty and bishops, among them, many from the Western Hemisphere, had ar rived in Eome. Also 92 now Papal recruits had arrived there from Canada. Spain.—Five steamers with 3,000 to 4,000 volunteers on board, had sailed again for Cuba. In tho Cortes, Admiral Topcte being Presi dent, the republican deputies presented a pro test, denying any connection whatever with the Cuban republicans., A constitution for the Is land of Porto Rico was laid before the House. It declares Portollicoa Spanish province, al lows public assemblies in the presence of tha authorities, grants religious liberty and intro duces many other reforms. Tho discussion of the question of slavery ia prohibited. Yielding to the representations of a committee of deputies, Prim has withdrawn his order send ing all republican prisoners to Cuba, Carlistic risings are again apprehended. The new Portuguese ambassador wa3 received with great pomp by the Regent. The government will take severe measures against several Bishops who have gone to Rome without having petitioned for permission. The Bishop of Havana was placed under ar rest and brought tinder escort to Madrid, when he was abont to embark of Cadiz for Gibraltar. He is accused of having - intended to abscond with $100,000. Many Spanish Grandees who exiled them selves after tho September revolution, as the Marquis of Mirafiores, Prince Pio, the Dukes of Sevillano, Sesto, Conqnesta, and Alba, are pre paring to return to their native land. Portugal.—Tlic Government, replying to an inquiry of the Portuguese bishop?, has told them that if would not interfere wfth their journey to Rome, which, hoYvever, must be undertaken at their own expense. In consequence of this dec laration it is believed that only two Portuguese bishops out of sixteen will proceed to the Roman Council. Turkey and Egypt. — The difficulties be tween Abdul Aziz and Ismail Pasha are not yet settled. The inauguration of the Suez Canal took place in presence of the princess of the Occident. '• - A fleet of thirty-four steamers passed through the whole canal without any serious accident., The Khedive distinguished the Empress of the French by receiving her with oriental splen dor in his capital. Eugenie resided in llie mag nificent castle Gazireh and drove through the streets of Cairo preceded by twelve Saracens. On the eve of her departure, she visited the tree where, according to the legend, the Holy Virgin rested on her flight to Egypt. The celebrated Egyptologist Ifr.riette accompanied tho Empress as cicerone. The Germans residing at Cairo welcomed the Crown Prince of Prussia with a brilliant torch-light procession. Jarno. A correspondent of the Mobile Register op poses the renting of lands to negroea. In com- ment tho editor of that journal remarks: Suffice it for tho present to say, that the evil is incident to tho pecnliar circumstances in_ which we of the South placed by the events of' the war, end most bo left to cure itself. It can not be remedied by combination, and certainly not by legislation. So long ts a farmer owns more land than ho can cultivate, he will rent the surplus to whosoever will pay the rent, with- out stopping to inquire whether the man be white or black, and no combination' can be formed to prevent it.
