M Browne has been In retirement for many year, waj eighty years of ane, ami will be remsmiierod as a vi ry pleasing comedian. Ills last enasem'nt was ttfte Olympic Theairo lu 1859, with Laura Keen e ant her company, and his last appearance In the chai tcter of "Hir Harcourt Coartley." He belonged to U lit genaration of actors of whom the late Mrs. Ver, on was one of the last lingering celebrities. Mr. iTay was equally well known In theatrical and In n wspnpcr circles, anil had been by turns author, act , editor, elocutionist, translator, playwright, and t a gay, in 1st Without being very eminent In cither of It ese capacities, lie had the substratum of a flue ertu atlon, which ought to have given more permo ncoy and solid results to his endeavors. During Rls toi I ! season here he translated the Italian libretti, an the translations were very amusing specimens of ulndlomatlc English and Idiomatic Italian. Or late yea-s Mr. Pray had been a spiritualist, and was a lira, believer that one of his recent plays was In. BpUwd by Shakespeare. "Pity the Korrows" 0 ,fr poor "Interviewer," who Is ordered by the ciu editor to Interview such a person, and who has notMng to do but obey. "Interviewing" has grown lnt bo distinct a department of tho New York news poF vrs that the question, "Is he a good interviewer?" ise .e of the first that an enterprising managing edit jr asks before eirectlng an engagement with a net hand. The question is tantamount to asking Hat he got cheek 1 Can lie buttonhole a bashful ma Into confession, and keyhole a closeted party intj self-betrayal ? Can lie refuse to be Bnubbed and sllai ted, and Is he Impervious to the cold shoulder ? Is t impossible to "shake" him, and is he a stranger toltt eProcess or being bluffed off? Can he smile and jmllc beneath the sarcasm of the Sorosis, and m der reputations while he smiles? Can he wait Ilk, a menial In the halls and ante-chambers of rich meVs houses, and endure to be browbeaten like a spaaicl, for making his report one "stick" shorter tb i that of a rival paper ? If he can do and sutler all dUs for the brilliant salary of tirteen dollars per we-,k, tie will take rank as an accomplished luter TlTer, and rise rapidly amongst newspapers whose mt and drink Is sensation. All I ask Is that yoa wtl pity his sorrows.

It is proposed for everal ladles to club together and hire a house an at It np so as to atrord a lodging for a moderate nun her, and then to gather from the various work shops a sufficient number to make It worth while to Initiate them at once into co-operative housekeeping. A TjTletyof good practical suggestions have been Oflcftd, and this is one of the best. liiiNlncna. I sis not an attractive sub-head, I know; bnt the "business is not an attractive thing. It was originally coupled with a curse, and ir one is to be lle all that business nun say now-a-days, the curae has i,ot been lifted from it yet. Business is very dui they tell as. Even the approach or Christmas caa'tot yet pinched it into lightness. But what are tbtt rowds doing who every afternoon throng Broad way I- Are they out for the mere pleasure of gad ding? What are all these ladies and children about In tie shops? Is there no purchasing going on? Ver j little. I am not an interviewer, but Zl dwell ami ng them, and some or their ink is on my pen. FeT preparations have yet been made for Christmas. Th4 shop windows show no evidences of the window-dresser's tas'e. It looks as though we were gol g to have a commercially dull Christmas. Tvv Working Women's Protective Association an nounces that it has something new, and that some thjag is that reliable help of various kinds Is to be obUlncd at No. 420 Montgomery street, by paying a lit, of one dollar. I think I could single out a half dozen heads of families who would gladly pay one hundred times that amount for help that should really (and truly prove reliable.

The committee adjourned to meet at a future day, the clerks in the meantime to eubpiena certain newspaper editors as witnesses.

This is another complication in the Erie Railroad muddle.

Foreign Affairs Purls continues perfectly quiet. Archbishop Cullen, of Dublin, is out in a pastoral denouncing Fcnianism. The Captain-Goncral of Cuba denies that there is any truth in the report that a Spaulsh fleet is coming to New York. FRANCE. Important Hprecli or the Emperor Reforms Promised. Paris. Nov. 89. At the opening of tho Corps Legislatif, the news of which has previously been sent by telegraph, tho Emperor delivered a speech from the throne. It was hoped the Em press might return in time to take part in the ceremonies, but she has not yet reached Paris. The Emperor said: "It is not easy to establish regular and peace ful liberty In France. For months past society seemed menaced by subversive passions, and freedom compromised by excesses of the press and public assemblies; but common sense has already properly judged these culpable exagge rations, which after all have served but to prove the solidity of the edifice founded by popular suffrage. But this uncertainty and trouble must last no longer. The will of the people mnst be known. I ranee wants liberty with order, and order I answer for. Help me, Messieurs, to" se cure liberty. Between those who would change all and those who would grant nothing a glorious course may be chosen." The Emperor then referred to the Senatus Consultum of September last, which he said he had proposed with the purpose of inaugurating n new era of conciliation and progress. He proceeded to enunciate the municipal reforms to be made. He pronounced the situation of the country satisfactory, and declared that the more he was ready, however, to grant reforms, the more decided he was to maintain the principles of the constitution. The relations of France with foreign powers were friendly. The Emperor continued: "W e have reason to be proud of our epoch. Tho New World sup presses slavery, Russia frees her serfs, England renders justice to Ireland, bishops are mooting at Rome for wise and conciliatory purposes, and the progress of science draws nations nearer to each other. While America unites the Atlan tic and Pacific, everywhere capital and intelli gence combine to connect by electric wires all nations. France and Italy will soon bo joined by tunnel through the Alps, and the Suez Canal has already united the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. The Empress is not present to-day, because I desired her to testify the sympathy of France with the wonderful genius and perse verance of a Frenchman.'' The Emperor concludes: "Messieurs, you resume your labors after an unusual interrup tion of the session. I hope the bodies of the State will apply loyalty to the modifications lately made in the uoustitution. lucre is to be a more direct participation of the nation in its own affairs. This will be a new force for the empire. .Franco can support free institutions which honor civilized nations." London. Nov. i!9. The Times says: "What ever divergence of opinion may weaken the opposition in the Corps Legislatif, they should work together to overthrow men who have brought the Government into discredit. There should be no compromise with passive instru ments of personal rule. Possibly the present Ministers may still be at the head, but the Em peror is accustomed to look upon his power as built on odds of a hundred to one. I or many years the opposition was composed of only four others besides Favre. In tho face of one hundred and sixteen opposition votes the Emperor's posi tion is already untenable." Paris, Nov. 29 Evening. Large crowds wore collected around the hall of the Corps Legislatif to-day, but no disturbance occurred. Within the Chamber the scene was one of great interest. Henri Rochefort was not present, and Jus name, when called, was received with hisses. The Emperor's address was listened to with the deepest attention, and was frequently ap plauded. At that point where the Emperor de clared he would answer for the preservation of order the applause became enthusiastic. The official journals this evening praise tho speech, while tho opposition press complain that tho Emperor does not promise reforms which France needs. MARINE TELEGRAPH.
