G THE DOWNFALL 01 CLIQUY. BY nORACB GREELEY. The midnight stars ot the night which srpa rated the 2lid from the 24th (Inyo! July lant looked down on a memor ible Btuht at the north end of the jrreat, itay, witty, wicked city of Paris the BelI-choen metropolis of civilization aril of Christendom. Ai the la t stroke of the clock knelled the close of the expiring day, the great, grim nates of the spacious and substantial stone edifice, No. 70 Kac Clichy, were thrown open, and there issued in hasty. Irregular procession, the whole body of prisoners' for debt hlthoi to confined in that metropolis, save the hnplen fc only who, having no home, no Irieuds, no money, had beeped of the keeper the poor boon cf retaining till ninrnicg thiir narrow cells auo) rugged pallets; so that Uiev nncbt walk lorth in broad daylight to renew their unequal struggle with a stepmother world. For tome of toe luckier majority, friends and carriages were waiting; but the theater number trudged tiway soberly and steadily, in quest of such poor lodg ings as were ready for tbpni, or as their scanty resources would still sufilec to command. Next morning that prison was empty of all inmates but its officers, aud ready to be devoted to other nses than that ot incarcerating men and women guilty ol owing sums wliich they could not pay. The credit ol abolishing in France imprison ment lor debt not, indeed, for the first, but I truet for the last time I jud?e la mainly due to jjapoleon himself. His upholders, the self et led conservatives of that country, still blindly, obstinately cling to every venerab lu abuse, to each moss-grown iniquity, each barnacled op pression, as though Uiiuich and State would tumble into chaos if it were given up. "Liberty, indeci 1 What docs France wantol more liberij? Would you have Robespierre and Marat, the Terrorists, with their Noyades, back aiio, to butcher us as our grandfathers aud grandmothers wire butchered? Nol we have at length the tiger cnged and muzzled at a fearful cost let us take cure to keep him sol" To this large, pow erful, apprehensive, determined class the owners and masters of France Louis Napoleon is but a tool, a truncheon, a weapon; should be break in their hands, they must be quick to grasp another if possible, a stronger and better. They have many chances: ho has but one to keep what he has clutched, knowing that, ouce lost, it can never be recovered nor replaced. To maintain his hold on power he must be, as well as seem, not merely the sword arm of the conservatives, but their moderator not merely necessary to them, but humauer, wiser, more democratic than they. And, schooled os he has been by thoso rigid pre rectors, adversity and need, ills ciulte nrobable that he really feels much that his cousin Jerome Napoleon more frankly expresses, and would fain be King of the Commons, provided the playing of that role do not involve, a risk of ceasing to be king at all. However this may be, it is mora'ily certain that the abolition of imprisonment for debt was ta'rly wrenched from the legislative bodies by the Emperor's resolute, persistent demaud. The French inherit from their Roman law givers of twenty centuries auo not only the civil law, but the spirit which dictated it. A xeBident among them may violate without re proach several of the commandments (especially the seventh) so long as he can pay;, but woe to him who, living in Paris, cannot respond punc tually and amply to a pecuniary demand. No where else in Christendom is bankruptcy so odious or so terrible. Twelve years ago, I spent two days, by urgent request, in the lltiisou Clichy. I had hated im prisonment for debt before, but did not clearly fcuow why. I hare not since been at all con fused on that point. Not that "jail birds" are all samples of injured innocence, nor anything like it. Many of them are prodigals; some are Incorrigible profligates and swindlers. I made the acquaintance of both of these classes duriDg my brief sojourn at No. 70 Kue Clichy. But mixed witn them were as up right and worthy men as tread the earth victims of fraud, ot oppression, and ot ctlme. I met there men of diverse nationalities who Lad been put there expressly tuat schemes of rapacity and rascality, which they, if at liberty, would defeat, might bo fully consummated men whose imprisonment involve! their own pecuniary ruin, with heavy losses to other good men. Let me give two instances: An Englishman of decided ability and inven tive genius was deeply involved in the manufac ture of a patent pail at Rouen. His French partner, taking flight, hastily gathered up the ready means of the firm, aud vanished. Ihe Englishman called his creditors together, laid a full statement of his affairs before them, was advised by them to go on, and assured that he should be sustained. No real creditor ot the concern dissented. But a French sea-captain who hid been employed by the firm and dis charged for dishonesty, and" who actually owed it a large sum, now set up a claim as creditor; and, on tin claim, had the remaining partner arrested and imprisoned. ' The feather was a keavy one; the camel's back was already b?nt; the concern must go to wreck, and hone3t credi tors be defrauded outot many thousands, to glut the vengeful malice of a siue'e villain. Again; A London merchant lailed, owing heavily. His exhibit was so satisfactory, how ever, that his credUors at once said: "This is simply misfortune; you have done no wrong, and mutt not go under. We will sign your cer tificates of bankruptcy and extend to you new credits." So his debts were cleared off, his store filled up airesh, and he began anew with fair prospects and sanguine hopes. But among his creditors was a French house, which wrote him, "We, too, will trust you atresh, like your other creditors; come over and arrange the matter." He obeyed the invitation, called on the French house, by which he was politely re ceived; and the next hour saw him pchy, not to be let out till he paid the last farthing of their claim-JiOGO-tor his British certificate of bankruptcy was mere waste paper jn trance, He could have paid these by rob bing his ether creditors, who had treatl him o generoably; but this he vTO'ild not do choos ing rather to write over to London to have his goods returned to their rightful owners, his elore given up, aud he left to rot in jail. The world does move ! In spite ot innumera ble frauds, and wionps, and woes, and crime, maiAind ore less selflsh, less cruel, less brutal than they have been. Dad as we still are, it is eoinethlng to have lived in the age which has witnessed the virtual overthrow of chattel 5laJier8Dllt,be abolition of imprisonment for debt. Doubtless, there is much vet to do: Snf Srdedt v encourage.' ESS.?iJ?y the trh m?-- i Humanity, let us reve- gratefully go forward 1 Neio York Jnde jitndtnt. Evangelical Alliance. This body closed its meeting at Amsterdam by what was termed a Brent national open air mis sionary meeting. The gathering took place at Vogelenzaug, a W miles from Amsterdam. Upward of 10,000 persons assembled, and the day was kept as a general holiday. The Rev. Pastor Heldring opened the festival at 10 o'clock, and was lollowed by Pastor van Rhiiin of Wassenaar, who delivered an introductory opeech upon the subject ot Christian missions. Mr. Locman, me secretary, then gave an account of the state and manner of working of the missionary associations in the KethertHiids, after which the people divided themselves t ito three groups belore three tribunes, from which they were addressed m English and French, Dutch, and German. There waR'pWuty of singing, and some very good baud iiiumc, and at the close of the proceedings the visitors to thu Conference were hospitably entertained. Ou tbe preceding day, Lord Ifalctock, on behalf of the English visitors, and Dr. Crime, on the part of the Americans, expressed their sense of the handsome ruauner in which they had been entertained. The entertainment of so many visitors must have entailed considerable cost Aboat three hundred and fifty sal down every day to dinner while the Conference lasted, in addition to which excursions to various points of interest in Ihe neighborhood and free admis sions to the Zoological Gardens and evening concerts were nrrauged for by the executive committee. Nothing seems to have been left undone to insure the comfort of their guests. The King of tbe Netherlands gave a liberal donation towards the expenjies of the Conference A Shnrp Letter from liishop Colenso. Ihe following loiter appeared recently in the Mcoliman. At is oirected to Mr. Henry Mon cri( ft : "BisHoretowu, Natal, May 10, 1867. Sir: my attention has been called to an address de livtrrd byjou to the Young Men s Christian Association at Ulasgo'v, on January 14. In that hiiiircss, as reported by the Scotsman of January 10, you have charted me indirectly with dis honesty, dupilctty, and cowardice, and you have stated oirecily as follows: 'I have not read Bishop Colenso's book, I must fairly avow.. liitiOp C'olcn?o doubts whether the Pentateuch io inspired. It is a strancre doubt for a bishop of the Church of England.' I venture to think that before attacking publicly in this way an absent man It would have btn right for you, as a Chrittiau addressing a 'Christian Association' ol young men, to have first assured yourself of thetrutn of the accusations which you made ngninst me by lirft reading tho book which you confess not to have read. "In a letfer published 1n the Guardian about two j ears ago, when 1 was in England, I gave a positive contradiction to a similar statement made in that journal, as 1 now do to yours. I have denied that the Bible is in every line and letter infallibly true; I have denied that the Pentateuch is the work of a single writer or of a single nee. I have not 'insinuated doubts,' but in the most open manner have stated my disbelief of the Mosaic authorship of certain portions of the Pentateuch, and I have laid openly bclore all meu my reasons for holding these opinions, which are not peculiar to my self, but shared by the great majority of Biblical critics. . But 1 have never denied or doubted its Inspiration, or rather the inspiration of its writers. And I now call upon you, as a Chris tian gentlemen, either to prove by quotations fioni my book that I have denied or doubted it, or else to express publicly your regret for so grave a misstatement, which, coming lrom an eminent lawyer accustomed to weigh evidence and not to trust to popular clamor, is the more surprising, and, you must aMow mr to say, the more unjubtidable. If you lnenn to say that I have denied the infallibility ot the Pentateuch, or of the Bible generally, that IB perfectly true. I believe that to be a most dangerous dopma, and likely to land many who attempt to adopt it into iutidelity. But the in fallibility ot henpture Is a totally different thing from its inspiration, or rather, as I have said, from the inspiration of its writers. I request your perusal of the copy which I Bend by this fiost of the first two sermons preached by me on anding in this diocese, and would call your attention especially to the language used by me In page G and rage 8. These sermons form part of a volume published in England, and there fore ccetsible to you, if you really wished to know my views before making jour remarks u on them, at the time when your address was delivered. 1 beg the favor of jour sending any reply which you may think it right to send to this fetter to the Weekly -Scotsman, to which I shall forward a copy of this for publication. "I am, sir, yours taithiully, J. W. Natal." Last of a Famous lilockade llunner. Admiral Simon, commauder of the French flpet in Greek waters, eives the following account of the destruction of the lamous Dlockade runner Arcadi, one better known in Western waters as the Conlederate war ship Sumter: "On Monday morning, the 20th of August, after I had received some women and children at Selino, I tailed for St. Koumeli to take others from that port. Dunn? the day the captain of the Izzedin, a larpe Turkish steamer, which cast anchor near m.y ship, visited me, and told me that on the previous evening the Arcadi had been to St. Koumeli, and landed a part of her cargo; but not having sufficient tine to discharge the rest, she had sailed for Gabdon, and that he expected her back on Monday evening, when he intended to attack her. On Monday afiernoon, after I embarked the women and children, I started for Athens; but two hours afterwards I heard guns behind me. Going on deck I saw in tbe distance two steamers, one chasing the other, and fighting. In a short time they ap proached me, and I saw that one was the Arcadi and the other the Izzedin. The Izzedin reached the Arcadi and gave her a broadside, to which the Arcadi replied in the show manner. As soon as the two steamers wote close together thesuilors began firing with their rifles. While the fipht was hottest, two Turkish men of-war made their app arance round tbe Cape of Krio-metopo. The position of the Arcadi iheu became very peri lous. At that moment the captain of the Arcadi, with great presence of mind and cool ness, turned his little steamer, faced the three enemy's vessels, and parsed through them at full speed, amidst a tremendous fire from the large guns, and a shower of bul lets. The Arcadi soon approached the land, and after coasting some distance along tho small bay, arrived near the Cape of Krio-metopo, where the captain ran her aground in order to save ihe crew. The right lasted till 1 o'clock in the mornhip. At that time the three Turkish vessels cast anchor near the Arcadi. I heard a rhrp firing of rifles durirg the rest of the night, and stayed uDtil morning to ascertain the rotult. I then saw the Arcadi In flames, but I could not learn whether she had been fiied by her captain or by the enemy. The Turkish beats were full of wounded, who were transported to tbe Turkish vessels, and the Izzedin steamed away in a very damaged con dnion." LUMBER. 1867." SELECT WHITE PINE B0ABD3 AMI PLaNK. -.
