On Baturday forenoon there might have been 'ob served a small crowd of people opposite the Del monloo Kesturaut, on 8t. Francis Xavicr street, vainly endeavoring to effect, an entrance Into that establishment. A closer observation would have led to the discovery that the peculiar interest they evidently took in the premises did not arlHe from any desire for the "creature comforts'' sup- K)ed to be stored within; and if the Observer hail jenof an analytical turn of mind he might have found out that tne crowd was composed of a Jewel ler, a furrier, a shoemaker, a tailor, a wine merchant, aud other parties who deal In the necessaries and luxuries of life, but not always on the cash system, k Drnrrted Hal In. Loudly they knocked at the door, thinking may Imp that the occupant had partaken too freely the previous night of tue contents or his bar, aud that a deep sleep had thereby fallen upon him, but no re sponse came from within. Determined not to be bailled, they called iu the aid of the law, and very shertly thereafter obtained an entrance, only, how ever, to find nothlug but a few empty bottles in the bar aud a couple of bedsteads without the bedding In the bed-rooms. The Inmates had fled, taking with them all their household goods, even to the glolies on the gasullcrs. And thereby hangs a talc, which we shall proceed to unfold, though In doing so we may repeat facts already known to our readers. The Italian Ininjre Mnkcr. A number of years ago an Italian from Tuscany was engaged in the business not uncommon among Italians of the lazier Burt, of peddling plaster images through the country a fact unworthy of record ex cept in connection with what follows. Our hero, whose name it is Huchlgnanl, It seems, was not con tent with this mode of life, and being rather good looking and lithe of limb, he turned his attention Jo danclug, and soon became proilcient In the im Forsaking his plaster Images, he set out for Wash ington, where he established a dancing-school, and, it scenis, met with considerable success. . lie Slurries his ;randMiutlirr. At any rate, in his character as dancing master, he succeeded In captivating the heart of a certain ' widow lady, by name Mrs. General Katou. She had wealth and influence, by means of which she secured for the cx-daucing master a situation In the library of Congress at a salary of f-JiKK) a year. Mrs. Eaton was a remarkably handsome woman, and had great Influence with General Jackson, when he was Presi dent of the United States, in fact, she caused a dis ruption of his Cabinet, because the families of the Cabinet Ministers refused to associate with Mrs. Katou, whom they looked upon as a disreputable woman. When over sixty years of age, Mrs. Eaton married Buchignaui, who was then but a liitlo over . twenty-one. ' He Elopes with II In (rnnddunglitcr. ' ' Not satisfied with this, nor with the charms of the fair widow, he eloped with her granddaughter, taking with him the trilling sum of JO.ooo of the old lady's money. Our hero next turns up in Paris. He had been leading a fast life, and the t'20,000 was all spent. This was two years ago. In his extremity he applied for aid to Slgnor Pignatelll, the son of a leading Neapolitan merchant, aud represented to him that he was a man of good family and owned a largo property In Washington. Slgnor Pignatelll wanted reference, and ho relerred to a New York banker. The bunker being deceived as to the cha racter and position of J'.uoliltrnnni, reported favor ably, ond bignor Pignatelll was induced to advance him JlG.uoo, with which he purchased a large stoekof French goods, and brought them with him to New York.

This letter was addressed from Memphis. TeuiL, though the rascal, as was subsequently lound out, was living at (Quebec ut the time, and was aided by an accomplice at Memphis, who first received the letter and then posted it lor France. -Bignor Pigna telll, however, being wanted in time by a frieud in America, ius'.ead of sending on the wine catno on himself to look after his fl6,0W).

He Divorces His irnndniotlir and Marries His (raudtlu.UKliler. Then he came to Montreal, bringing with him the granddaughter of his wife, and started the Dclmo nlco Restaurant In St. Francis Xavler street. He ventured to pay a second visit to New York, aud was a second time arrested. This time he was brought before the Court, and compelled to give security for the payment of $s a week to his wife during her life. Subsequently a divorce was ob tained, and lie married the granddaugher with whom he had previously been living. While living in this city he endeavored to cultivate an acquaintance with the better class of Italians, but with small suc cess, his character being pretty well known. At the time of the dinner given to Chevalier Secchi by the Italians of the elty, he and his brother put their names on the subscription list, but Mr. Uiauellt, knowing the previous career of the man and his immoral life, very promptly scratched the names ' from the list, and refused to have anything to do with the scoundrel.

I'niuirnllelrd FienrilNlincHS In PIllnburK A Woiiiiiii Urnlen 10 Urn I li with IHikIki'ohn Wliiftky and Ji-nlotiMy the I'nuse ol' the Trn eeily. Yesterday a short account was given in Tim Even ing Tki.kohaph of a murder which had been perpe trated in Pittsburg on the night preceding. These are luller particulars takcu from the Pittsburg om ttiercial: How the Murder was Discovered. The Hrst Intimation that a murder had been com mitted cume from Campbell himself, who, while going down Fifth avenue a little before 7 o'clock Monday morning, carrying a boy in his arms, aged three years, overtook Mayor Brush at the corner of Chatham street, and Informed him that his wife had accidentally fallen down stairs, aud he thought she had killed herself. lie further stated that lie was afraid some of his neighbors might accuse him of the murder, and desired to give himself upas a prisoner. Be was then quite intoxicated, and the Mayor told him to go homo and he would Rend an oillcer up to Inquire into the matter. With this Campbell left for home. The Srcne of the Murder A Shocking Spec tucle. The Mayor on reaching his ofllce despatched Oillcer Long to Investigate the matter. On the way Mr. Long called Oillcer Fred. Kuch to accompany him, and when they had reached the corner of llradv street they met Campbell, who was then on his way to the otllce of Dr. .1. C. Thorn. They stopped anil heard Campbell ask Dr. Thorn to go down to the house and examine his wife, and pronounce her dead if she was dead. The oillcers not knowing that the woman was dead went to the house, and on en tering found the body of Mrs. Campbell lying on the kitchen floor, horribly bruised and cut about the face and head, and exhibiting unmistakable signs of a desperate struggle and a violent death. They con cluded that Campbell had committed the awful tragedy, and at once hastened to the doctor's otllce and took him Into custody, conveying him to the Mayor's otllce and locking him up for a hearing. A number of oillcers then visited tho house, and made a thorough examination of it. It Is a small brick, containing two rooms on the main floor, a basement kitchen, and an attic, extending over the two rooms. It does not adjoin any other dwelling, although there are numerous tenements in the Im mediate vlciuiry. Where the Death Struggle Occurred. An examination of the upper rooms left no doubt that tho death struggle occurred therein. The oill cers, ascending from the kitchen by a narrow and illy-lighted stuirwav, entered what was used as a Bittlng-rooin. By the aid of a lighted candle, blood was traced on the walls of the stairway from top to bottom. In the rooms above everything was in disorder and betokened murder in its most horrible aspect. There was a large pool of thickened blood on a piece of oil cloth lu lront, of the lire-place, and here probably the wretched woman, alter having been beaten until un- ame to move, was permitted to meed to death. Hero also the walls were smeared with blood, aud the overturned furniture and broken dlBhes showed too plainly that violence had been witnessed in this apartment. The adjoining room, however, be spoke an equally desperate encounter, and It was probably here tliut the murderous assault was commenced. The room was uncurpeted, curtained, but little furniture, anil had been tiBed for storing soap and caudle boxes. Some boxes, and an old bureau and wash stand, were the principal articles. The floor was literally red with blood, and the walls, door, window sills, etc., were more or less spotted. Pieces of a very large wash-bowl, with blood and hair adhering, were picked up from the floor, and the leg of a chair, with a splintered portion of a rung attached, was also found with matted hair and blood on the end. The wash-bowl and the chair-leg had evidently both been used to beat the life out of tho helpless woman. From the horrors of this room sho probably escaped Into the next, there to fall and die of her wounds. A blood-stttnud poker was also found, and marks resembling those made by a poker were discernible on the wall be tween the doors. A bucket of water, and some wet rags, were found lu the room, and the uncurpeted floor showed plainly that attempts had been made to wash up the blood. The bloody poker was taken by an oillcer to the Mayor's otllce, as was alsoalargu butcher-knife, and both will be used in evidence against the accused. Statement of the Prisoner. Campbell was brought to the watch-house by Oillcer Kuch, of the Mayor's police, ut about thirty five minutes to nine o'clock. Uu was very much in toxicated, and greatly excited, but on being pre sented to aptnln Robert Graham, who has charge of the lockup, without any solicitation or inducement made the f allowing statement. Said he: "I have lost the best spoke in my wheel, hut I know that I did not kill her; I did not Inflict any of the injuries which caused her death; I canuol tell when sho died; was out getting whisky ut the time the Iniurles were inflicted; both her and I were drunk." The prisoner here paused awhile, sut on coiitluuiDgsaid : "On Sunday ultcrnoon I discovered her in company with two men with whom she was entirely too intimate; she saw me and rau audi after her; In running she tripped and fell down the stairs, killing herself ; did not raise a hand against her; was drunk and asleep when she died; heard her groan about 8 o'clock A. M., on Monday." Tho prisoner said no more at this time, but alter being being placed in a cell told several conflicting stories to the reporters, of which the following Is a part: Testimony Autilnst Campbell. I, Job Morelaud, of tho Fourteenth ward of Pitts burg, make this my solemn statement: I was in Mr. Campbell's house 011 Sunday evening, November 7, 18(it), about 4 o'clock; Mr. Campbell went up Btalrs; I heard Campbell's wife scream and cry "murder;" I heard a heavy fall; then Mr. Campbell came down stairs; he went up stairs three times; every time ho weut up stairs he beat her; every time ho was up stairs she called "murder;" the last time he was up stairs he said, "You , I'll kill you;" he then ordered her down stairs; he then kicked her down stairs; after he came down ho picked her up and laid bur on the settee, and com menced beating her with a poker ; I told him K was a shame to abuse a woman ; ho told me if I inter fered he would cut my liver out; I then left ; she vrus alive when I left ; I did not know she was dead uutil the oillcer came to the mill tills morning. The witness was cross-examined at length upon the above statement by John C. McCarthy, Has,., counsel for the prisoner. Owen Murphy, sworn Dou't know anything ubont tho murder; 1 wag lu Campbell's house last night, and ho asked me to go to a drug store and get some sticking piaster for his wife's head; he said some men had beaten her; on Saturday evening 1 was at Campbell's house; I heard his wile up stairs, crying; she said Campbell had beat her; sho said thoro was a lump on her head and her shoulder was broken; Campbell told her to stop crying or ho would cut her iu two; I told him it was a shame to bent a woman in that way ; he told me to shut up or he would cut me. , The Deceased. Mrs. Campbell was about 25 years of age, and also had resided in Philadelphia. Her maiden name was Butler, aud her mother lives at No. 2105 Locust streot, Philadelphia. She had two children, the youngest of which died some months since. The other is the little boy already mentioned, who has beeu taken charge of by one of the neighbors. M rs. Campbell was addicted to drinking, and probably she had other faults, but her dire misfortune con sisted In being linked to a brutal aud violent hus band. She seems to have led a most wretched life, and the horrors of her death must have been indescribable. ABYSSINIA.. Expedition of Two Kngll.timrn Into the Almost Unknown Territory. A correspondent of the I-ondon Tines writes: "Messrs. Powell and Jenkins, who embark for Kngland by the mall which will bring you this letter, have accomplished tho object of their mission to Abvsslnla. They have succeeded In tracing the mu tilated bones, which by certain Infallible proofs such as peculiar stoppages of teeth they were able to identify as the remains of their murdered rela tives. Moreover, they have avenged the murder by marching with an armed force of Prince Kassal's, of Tlgre, against the Shangalla tribe, the perpetrators of the cruel deed. On arriving In the Prince's terri torywho it will be rememhered was Lord Napier of Magdala s ally during the Abyssluian expedition Mr. Powell aud his brother-tu-law were assured by him that he would bo nlways found ready to assist nil F.ngllshmen In dllllculties. Colonel Klrktmm, military Instructor to Prince K ass it's forces, like wise assisted his countrymen very materially In their expedition. Placing an armed force, therefore, nt the disposal of Mr. Powell, and giving the two gentlemen an in terpreter called Merchlr, whose services were as In valuable now as when he served Lord Napier In a similar capacity, the little armv marched onwards, and soon arrived near the spot where the crime had been committed. The Shangnllas had, however, got scent of the ambushed force, and before the fol lowers of .Mr. Powell were ready lor the attack the greater portion had escaped Bcot free through the Jungle, which In this nclghhorlioow Is very high. Klglit Shangalla savages were killed In the ail' ray; one of whom, who wore tho murdered Mr. Powell's coat, had, It subsequently transpired, been the chief Instigator of the crime. "tive illages, numbering flfty-two bonnes, In which two guns and other relics wero found, wero ignited and razed to the ground. Fourteen hundred head of cattle were, uipiured, and lu short, every, thing wa? done to show the Shangalla tribe the pun ishment, they had laid themselves open to for their wickedness. It will be recollected that Mr. Powell and Mr. Jenkins met with very valuable assistance on their arrival hero some three months ago from the hereditary Prince Mahomed Tautlk, who gave them a special steamer which took them to Musso wah, and furthered their plans In many ways. They have, therefore, not failed to express their warmest thanks to the Khedive, to whom they were preientcd by Colonel Stanton, her Majesty's agent and Consul General, lor the great sympathy they received at the bands of his son. Messrs. Powell and Jenkins ex press themselves in terms 01 great gratitude also of Mr. Munzlnger at Massowah for tho interest and solicitous cire shown them in their mission." Commodore Stcwnrt. The following interesting incident, says the New Haven Palladium, Is banded to us by a worthy vete ran, who "knows whereof he speaks:" "The following incident will go to confirm, If con flrmat'onbe necessary, the coolness and fixed deter mination of Commodore Charles Stewart, of the I uited States Navy : During the last war with Great Britain, when the United States frigate Constitution, then in his command, was coming Into action with his Britannic Majesty's two shlps-of-war Cyane and Levant, his first lieutenant, the late Com modore Ballard, approached him and said, 'sir, the vessels we are about to encounter are Uco fri'iate.' Captain Stewart replied, 'Would to God there' were time of them. Give the ship all her canvas, that we may be enabled to bring them to action before night sets in,' observing at the same time, 'I am of opinion these fellows have canght a Tartar at hint, if they never eavqht one before' The result of the combat fully Justified him In his opinion. After the action the two vanquished captains, Douglass and Gordon, expressed themselves, in the lieariug of Captain Stewart, that if tho encounter were to take place again, a dltTerent result might ensue. Captain Stew art Immediately replied, 'Gentlemen, signify to me in wilting your wishes on that score, and I will, without one moment's delay, place you In command of your ships again and everything appertaining to them, as for as lies In my power.' However, it is be lieved, and generally understood no request of that nature ever came from them." THE NEW YORK. MONEY MARKET. The following extracts snow the state of the New York money market yesterday : From the N. Y. Htrald. "There was no Improvement to-day in the market for mercantile paper, and the suspension of the old firm of Braingar & Co. was not calculated to better the condition of affairs. The note brokers reported a great deal more scrutiny of names as a conse quence of this event, the paper of the firm in ques tion having been always regarded as first-class. At the same time the general distrust was heightened by the announcement of the suspension of three sn ail linns in the dry goods anil cloth trade and one of larger capital In the oil trade. Wo forbear giving names until the facts are more fully authenticated. There was a report of a suspension in the Stock fix change, but It probably grew out of the sales under the rule in the Gold Board for the adjustment of suspensions occurring at tho time of the gold "corner." The note brokers reported no business doing under t welve per cent, although the nominal niDge of prime paper was ten to lit teen per cent, discount. The worst feature of the present crisis is the substitution of monthly for annual rates, which Is beginning to be the custom. Thus single names were quoted to-day at to 1 per cent, per mouth discount, instead of at 18 to 24 per cent., as formerly. This disposition to compute by the shorter period is a manifestation of the desire to employ funds at as brier a time as possible, so per ceptible lu the practice of call loans, as they are de nominated, in the street, where the money is lent, subject to return on demand after one day's Inter val. The bunks are not without funds, as their last statement clearly shows, and the amount or capital seeking satislactory employment Is much lurgerthan usual at this season or the year. Where collaterals are put up money is to be hud without stint. But the tears or money lenders have been aroused by the depression In the produce business aud other brunches or trade. Hence their unwillingness to take simple promises to nap. The evil is one which lives and thrives upon Itself. A less conservative policy on the part of capitalists would doubtless Druige tne dangers wnicu many merchants And themselves about to encounter. As It Is, the gradual increase of this timidity and the tightening or the purse strings will drive to the wall many who would In the ordinary condition of things, successfully meet all their engagements. "Tho Money market was easy at four to six per cent, on cull. After two o'clock large balances were being freel offered at five per cent, and a good ileal of money went over night unemployed. "Foreign exchange was steady and firm on the busis of 108,V3109 for prime bankers' sixty day, and 10U)(.f;107 forsight sterling bills. "Gold was Irregular between the extremes or 12v and 127'i. Tho latter was the opening figure, from which the market was reluctant to recede, owing to continued fears as to the extent of the Kuropuau complications arising out or the apprehended death or Victor Kmanuel. At this stuge of business the an nouncement was made that the court had removed the injunctions on the oillcers of the Gold Board, which was Boon alter followed by sales for the ac count of suspended firms, the prices declining to the lower figure above quoted. Inasmuch as the amount thus sold was a mlldon, the decline might have been larger had not the sellers also have been the pur chasers. As the Government ulso sold a million to day the strength or the market reflects the Influence of tho llrmerxone of foreign exchange aud of the European news concerning the King of Italy. In the gold loan market there was a pressure to have balances curried, and despite tho easy state of tho money market tho holders or gold paid, from three to seven pi r cent ror the accommodation. "The Government market was strong and steady, in sympathy with the (inner tone of the gold quota tions, and prions varied only an eighth to a quarter per cent on the whole day's business.

General "Wool died at his residence, iu this city, nt half-past two o'clock this morning, in tho presence of his family, Hon. J. A. Griswold, and James, his colored servant, who has hcon with him for upwards of forty years. He died almost without a struck. He was eighty years of age. Tho time of tho funeral has not been announced. OBITUARY. fllnlor-f Jonernl John K. Wool. The death of General John E. Wool is announced In a telegram from Troy, N. Y., at which place he has been residing since his retirement from active duty in the army. John Ellis Wool was born at Newburg, N. Y., in the year 1789, and was therefore but eighty years old at the time of his death, and not eighty-six, as has been frequently stated. His early education was very meagre, and before he had attained his ma jority he became engaged In business nt Troy, New York, as a bookseller. Ills property being consumed by fire, he turned his attention to the law, but his studies were interrupted by the war .with Great Britain in 1812, when, through the friendship of Governor De Witt Clinton, he obtained a com mission as captain In the 13th Infantry. Ills first active service was at the storming or (Jueenstown Heights, October 13, where he was shot through both thighs, and was promoted to be major in the 29th Infantry. He was In the battles of Plattsburg, September 6-11, 1814, aud for his gallantry in the action at Beekmantown was brevetted lieutenant colonel. On the reduction of the army at the end of the war, he was retained in the 0th In fantry; In 1816 was appointed inspector-general of the Northern Division ; in 1818 lieutenant-colonel ; in 1821 inspector-general of the whole army; and in 1S26 brevet brigadier-general for ten years' ralthful service. In 1832 the Government sent him to Europe to examine the military systems of some or the princi pal nations. He was received with marked civility in France, especially by the King and the Minister of War, Marshal Soult, and thence went to Belgium, where he was the guest of tho King, and was present at the siege of Antwerp. For a year or two after his return he-was employed In Inspecting all the coast defenses from Maine to the delta of the Mis sissippi ; in 1836 he was charged with removing the Cherokee Indians to Arkansas ; and in 1838, during the Canadian dllllculties, he made a reconnoissauce through tho wilds of northern Maine, with a view to the defense or the frontier. He obtained the full rank of brigadier-general July 25, 1841. At the commencement of the Mexican war ho was ordered to the West to organize tho volunteers (May 30, 1846), and In less than six weeks had des patched to the seat of war 12,000 troops fully armed and equipped. He then collected 3000 troops at San Antonio de Bexar under his personal command, crossed the Rio Grande October 8, and reached Saltillo after a march of 900 miles, having lost hardly a man, and preserving such admirable discipline In his army as to gain the general good-will of the in habitants. He selected the ground on which was fought the battle of Buena Vista (February 23, 1847), made the preliminary dispositions, and commanded in the early part of the action until the arrival of General Taylor, who, in his oitlclal report or the vic tory, attributes a large share of the success to Qeno rai;Vool's "vigilance and arduous services before the action, and his gallantry and activity on the field." For his conduct on this occasion General Wool was breveted a major-general in 1848. He remained in command at Saltillo until Novem ber 25, 1847, when on the return of General Taylor to the United States he succeeded to the command of the Army of Occupation, and retained it until the conclusion of the war, his headquarters being at Monterey. In this capacity the civil as well as mili tary authority throughout the States or New Leon, Coahuilo, and Tamuulipas devolved upon him. He cleared the country or robbers and guerrillas, ami in Monterey, according to an eye-witness, enforced more perfect order than was to be found in any city of the United States. Alter his return home in July, 1848, he commanded the Eastern Military Division, with his headquarters at Troy, until the reorganization or the commands in October, 1653, wlien ho was placed at the head of the Department of the East, with his headquarters at Baltimore. In January, 18S4, he received the thanks of Congress, and the presentation of a sword for his services In Mexico. In the same month he was transferred to the Department or the Pacific, with Instructions rrom the Secretary or War, Jcilerson Davis, to "use all proper means to detect the lining' out or armed expeditious against coun tries with which the United States are at peace," and to co-operate with the civil authorities ' in main taining the neutrality laws." Executing these orders literally, General Wool inowred the displeasure or Hie Secretary, who prevented his further compliance with his instructions by removing the headquarters of the department from San Francisco to the inland town of Benlcla. The correspondence between the General and Davis wus published by order of Con gress in 1S5S. Iu 1866 General Wool put an end to the Indian dis turbances In Washington and Oregon Territories, in a campaign of three months. At the cloie or PresU sident Pierce's administration he was recalled to the Department or the East, with sis headquarters at Troy. When civil war was imminent towards the close or 1860, he hastened to oiler his services to the Govern ment, and after the attack upon Fort Sumter went to New York to organize, equip, and send on to Washington the first regiments or volunteers. Ho took the responsibility or reinrorcing Colonel Dlmlek at Fortress Monroe, thus saving that important poBt from danger of seizure by the Confederates. About May 1 he was ordered to return to Troy. In August he was sent to Fortress Monroe as Commander of the Department of Virginia, and from that post led an expedition which oocupled Norrolk May 10, lsea. On June 8 he was transferred to the command of tho Middle Department, with his headquarters at Baltlmoro, and did not subsequently take any active part In the war. But his sympathies were heartily and tho roughly enlisted on the side of the Union, and his failing years alone prevented him from adding fresh laurels to those which bad already clustered about his brow. In a letter addressed, on the 31st of De cember, 1800, to General Cass, then Secretary of War, he displayed his stern and unyielding loyalty to the flag nnder which he had ronght during a long and eventful lire, in an unmistakable manner. Re ferring to the contemplated surrender of Fort Sum ter to the Rebels, he said: "If it should be surren- j dered to South Carolina, which I do not apprehend, me smotnered indignation or the free States would be raised beyond control. It would not be in the power of any ono to restrain It. In twenty days two hundred thousand men would be In readiness to take vengeance on all who would betray the Union Into tho hands of Its enemies. I would avoid the bloody and deso lating example or tho Mexican States. I am now, and rorcver, In favor or tho Uuio.1, its preservation, and the rigid maintenance or tho rights and inte rests or the States, Individually as well as collect ively." On the 16th of May, 162, the deceased was re warded for his long and faithful services to the country by being promoted to a full major-generalship in the regular army. For three or four weeks previous to bis death, his health was falling rapidly, and on the 30th of October ho was seized with some thing akin to vertigo while exercising in the garden attached to his residence, and, falling heavily, re ceived a severe contusion over the eye. The Injuries thus received, in connection with his advanced years and feebleness, resulted in his death. Pnlltlrnl. Albany, Nov. 10.

FROM WASHINGTON'. The President, Judge Kelley, and tlicITnrlff. Special Despatch to The. livening Telegraph. Washington, Nov. 10. I learn that my ac count of Judge Kelley's interview with the Pre sident tho other day, relative to tho tariff, was inaccurate in some points. Judge Kelley pro posed to put the raw materials which we do not produce iu this country on the free list. He also proposes n consequent reduction in duties on articles manufactured from this raw materia!. By this we will lose some revenue which we can afford, as we will receive a lar.ro part of it through internal taxes. This Is Kelley's position about the tariff. The President, I uu lerstand, did not fully commit himself on this mittcr, but requested Judge Kelley to leave papers and statements with him for the purpose of exami nation. I make this correction in justice to all concerned. FROM THE SO UT1I. Heavy Damages. Special Despatch to the keening Telegraph. Baltimoke, Nov. 10.

The A gitator, a Chicago woman's suffrage paper, furnishes the following interesting briefs lu regard to women's voting: In Manchester, England, eight women, whose names were by accident left on the registry, voted at the last election. Eight others, freeholders, voted in southeast Lancashire. In Asliford, Kast Kent, in ont of U6 who were registered recorded thoir votes. In Finsbury the same number ulso went to the polls. In Dublin ono woman, and In Loudsn three women, voted. In Canada, as In several or our own States, women are allowed to vote ror and serve as school trustees. In Pitcairu's Island, which is lultabitoil by muti neers or the Bounty, the Government, which is based on a written Constitution, is shared on equal terms by men and women alike. Ladiesor title formerly occupied seats in the House of Lords, where they were entitled, us peeresses In their own right, or when their lords were dead and the heirs were In their nonage. They also held the oillce of High Sherii), which must bo held by ono possessed of the electoral qualifications and other dignities. It has also been stated that the late Investigations tend to show that tho Parliaments were originally founded on the Idea of universal sutlruge, the mani festation of which was tho showing or hands. In the Urltlrih Australasian colony or Australia, wo men universally assumed the right to vote some lour years ago, having round that tho law had, pro bably Inadvertently, been so framed as to permit ttiein. It works admirably, according to all reports. In Sweden, tJiletly through the exertions of Frede rlka Bremer, an indirect right of voting was, In 1862 granted to all women possessing spectliod property qualifications. By tho Italian code, widow or wife, separated from her husbund who pays tuxes, is allowed to vote through such child or other relative as she may designate. In Holism!, widows and single women, possessed of property, are allowed to vote on all questions of taxation, etc., likely to an'oct lu value. In 1867 Moravia granted the franchise to all widows who puy taxes. In many towns in France women poiwem the right to vote in municipal aibiirs; and in one or them it is suid that the Council was recenly composed wholly of women. ' In Austria women can vote as nobles; in thoir cor porate capacity, as nuns and tax-payers. In Hungary, up to 1841, widows aud single women Who were luuded proprietors, possessed the rhrlit to vote. They wero deprived of it by the rovolutiouurr government, and they are now petitioning in larae uumbers for the restoration of this right. What is tho most dangerous ship to embark in ? Authorship.
