EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
(Correspondence of the Philadelphia Eve. Bulletind
PARIS, Friday, Nov. 2d, 1866.—What
ever may be the advice which the French
Government, thro' General Castlenau, has
sent out to Maximilian in Mexico for the
regulation of his own conduct, as to going
or staying, there can be no doubt as to the
decision which it has come to as regards
itself. I mentioned, a week or two ago, the
indications which then showed themselves
of a complete change about to be adopted in
the internal policy of the Mexican Govern
ment, and which was doubtless suggested
by the foreign allies who were on the point
of deserting it. Everything which has since
appeared has confirmed what I then stated
to be in contemplation, and there can now,
as I have said, be no mistake as to how both
parties are intendltig to play their last card.
The French are concentrating their troops
with a view of coming away from Mexico,
en mane, in the Spring, instead of leaving
by piece-meal and prolonging the occupa
tion until the Autumn. The. Mexican Imperi
alists, acting, no doubt, under advice, are
withdrawing from the frontiers and pre
paring to make a desperate effort to hold
what the Moniteur calls the "thirteen richest
and most populous States of the South and
Centre." The French have suggested these
tactics, it would seem, chiefly with a hope
of thereby securing, for a time at least,
after their departure, the revenues which
are to guarantee the interest of tL3 money
they have advanced to Maximilian; and the
latter has followed their counsel as afford.
ing a last chance of holding his grouid be
fore he takes to flight. There is hardly any
concealment affected now as to these plans
and their necessity. It is the Moniteur itself
which now publishes articles from its cor
respondent in Mexico, exhibiting the coun
try as completely torn to pieces by guerilla
warfare, instead of being "pacified," as it
was formerly the fashion to represent it.
The same authority, too, admits the neces
sity of a "territorial sacrifice," and the
"abandonment of the Northern Provinces."
By these measures and by the organization
and development of the national army,
Maximilian hopes to keep the rest of his
territories, and to preserve his communica
tions with "most of the ports on the two
oceans." The latter object the Moniteur re
gards as especially imperative on account of
the Convention of July last and the pledg
ing of half the Custom-House receipts, the
collection of which must, it says, be secured
from every hostile attempt. It is not inti
mated, however, as yet, whether the French.
naval forces are to assist in affording the
above security, in case those of Maximilian
should prove inadequate to the task. But.
the .Patrie of yesterday only, coming to the
aid of the Moniteur, informs us that the.
French army, before leaving, will assist in
retaking Tampico, the "possession of which
is necessary to the (French) interests en
gaged." The same journal ,expresses the
opinion that the barrier of unsubjected Pro
vinces 'about to be interposed between the
"new" Empire and the United States will
be both a safeguard and a warning to it:
the former, as separating it from the Repub
lic; the latter, as exhibiting the contrast
between anarchy and regular government.
Finally, the Patric assures us that, in its
opinion, the "government of Mexico is es
tablished 7." It is certainly the first time
one ever heard of a government being "es
tablished," and being left to shift for itselfby its only ally, and by abandoning half its
territories in order to make a last and des
perate effort to keep the remainder. The
French are withdrawing their army from
Mexico in obedience to the expressed reso
lution of the people and Government of the
United States. And so far all .is well, and
the Cause of difference between the two allied
countries seems on the point of receiving
its solution. But somehow or other entan
glements seem to remain behind, and make
one wish that the next six months were well
over and the French fairly gone before new
subjects of difficulty arise. There are secret
influences at work here at home ; and
the Mexican party say that the "French are
not gone yet" from Vera Cruz, just as the
Papal party cry they are not yet gone from
Rome and Civita Vecchia.
Yesterday being the great religious festi
val of All Saints, or La Toussaint, as it is
called,. there was holiday all over the town,
and this morning, in consequence,no papers
appear. To-day is the Jour des Morts, and
the population is flocking in vast crowds to
all the burial-grounds, to visit the graves of
their deceased relatives, and decorate them
with fresh garlands and flowers. It is a
pretty and sometimes affecting sight to see
groups of children, orphan perhaps, or be
reaved parents, so employed. Meanwhile,
there is a sort of pause for a day or so, both
in politics and business. The Emperor
employs the interval in driving through the
city to visit some model lodging-houses
for the laboring classes. There is still
great curiosity manifested to "see how he
looks," and somehow or other a certain dis
trust about his health seems to be creeping
over the public mind again. A well-known
provincial journal, the Prance-Central of
Biarritz, spoke out rather strongly on this
subject the other day, and was immediately
snapped up very sharp with a "warning,"
as though the authorities were very sus
ceptible on the point, and would not allow
it to be broached. I believe the fact to be
that the Emperor has a complication of
disorders, none of which are positively dan
gerous, but which combined 'make his
health ricketty and affect his spirit and
vigor. - •
A long article in the Debaes of yesterday,
on the - crisis in America, from the pen of
Prevost-Paradol, regards the manifestation
of public opinion in the States' against the
President as decisive, and trusts that they
will see the necessity of rallying to the Cton..
atitutional amendment.
PHILADELPHIA, FR iDA
Wrench Opera.
On Monday evening, at the Academy of '
Music, will be offered the rare treat of a
Freneh comic opera, performed by a most
excellent French company. Le &nye d'ulte .
Nuit d'Etg, by Ambroise Thomas, is one•of `
the most beautiful of modern French comic
operas. It is not a translation of Shaks
peare's " Midsummer's Night's Dreain ;",
but is a new story, with Queen Elizabeth
and Shakspeare among the characters, along
with Falstaff and others. The story and the
music are both most attractive, and at New
York and Brooklyn, the opera, as performed
by this company, has had great success.
One journal speaks of it as "the'best per
formance of French opera ever given in
America." Those wishing to secure good
seats for Monday evening shoald apply
early, as they are going off rapidly. The
object of this extraordinary performance is
to raise funds for a most excellent institu
tion, and for that reason, as well as for the
rare nature of the entertainment, we hope to
see a crowded house.
A VALII.ABLE CHART.—Mr. Wm. G.Neil
son has recently prepared a statistical chart
for the American Iron and Steel Association,
of rare value and ingenuity. It is a Profile
Chart, showing at a glance the growth of
American commerce and trade, the develop
ment of our great. leading products, the
monthly fluctuations in price of such staple
articles as iron, coal, flour, Cotton, the
exports and imports for each year, with
a mass of other valuable statistics of rail
roads, population, immigration, premium
on gold and national debt. The arrange
ment of this Chart is wonderfully clear and
comprehensive, and must have involved a
prodigious amount of labor in its construc
tion. The author is a young Philadelphian,.
who has risen to rapid distinction in the
field of metallurgy and its kindred sciences,
and his Statistical Chart is as creditable to
him as it will be useful to the business com
munity. The mechanical execution of the
work Is of the most beautiful style of litho
graphy, and has never been excelled in this
country. Copies can be obtained from Mr.
Neilson, at the office of the American Iron
and Steel Association, 522 Walnut street.

A collision took place yesterday morning
at half-past 9, between the Sylvan Stream—
Peck slip and Harlem Steamboat—and the
Queens County—Thirty-fourth street and
Hunter's Point Ferryboat. The Sylvan
Sueam was on her first up trip going at fall
speed, and, when about 300 yards from the
Thirty-fourth street Ferry-house, saw the
Queens County making her way across
from Hunter's Point. The Sylvan Stream
sounded her whistle signal to the Queens
County to turn to the left, but the
latter did not whistle in reply, but kept
on at full speed. The Sylvan Stream pilot,
Healy, seeing this, gave orders to shut off
the steam and then to back water,and when
getting close the same orders were given by
the pilot of the Queens County, James
Townsbend, but it was now too late and the
bow of the Queens County caught the bow
of the Sylvan Stream, knocking it entirely
off and twisting her end with great force,
at the same time making a large hole in her
bull only a few inches above the water line.-
The consternation of the passengers on
board both the boats may be better im
agined than described. Fortunately the ac
cident did not result very disastrously.

THE LATE RAILROAD ACCIDENT
NEAR ERIE. •
FURTHER DETAILS.
Veil get. of the Coroner's. Jury
StAtem.ent of a Passenger.
Rare, Pa.,. Nov,.l4.—An inquest was held
this morning on the bodies of those killed
in the late railroad-accident. The evidence
was simply a recapitulation of what I tele
graphed yesterday; the jury found as their
verdict that the cause of death was the re
maval of two rails on the main track about,
10 or 15 minutes before - the arrival of the
.day express from Buffalo, going west, and
in not replacing said rails; or new ones, in
time for the train to pass over—the result of
gross carelessneas ' without excuse, on the
part of James fahony, the foreman in
charge of the track, and workmen, he being
absent part of the afternoon, having no cor
rect time, and being without a signal flag
for the purpose of signaling the stoppage of
trains. And the inquest aforesaid do far
ther find the conductor and:engineer of the
train free from all blame, and the officers of
said railroad company culpable in not em
ploying efficient men as track-layers, and
inriaishing them with flags and instructions
to signal and stop trains in all cases of
danger.
'llia following names of injured are addi
tional to those telegraphed last night:.

Alter the rendering of the verdict, James

by the District-Attorney. Public feeling
runs strong against him.
Mr. Clark Warren, of Cleveland, who
was on the train, has communicated to
the Herald of that city the following parti
culars:
"The accident occurred near Wesleyville
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The train
consisted of five coaches filled with passen
gers, and five baggage and express cars,
and was a little behind time, to make up
whicirit was running, at the rate of forty
miles an hour, on a down grade. At the
point of the accident workmen were en
gaged in repairing the track and had taken
out two rails. They must have known, or
if tbsy did not, they should have known,
that the train was due at that time, but no
signal was sent to warn the approaching
train of the danger until It was heard thun
dering around a curve, only a few rods from
where the rails had been removed, when a
man rushedhp the track swinging his hat.
The engineer reversed his engine,the brakes
were put hard on, and everything done
to check the headlong speed of the train,bat
it was too late. The train reached the fatal
spot, and plunged into the trap laid for it by
the gross and criminal neglect of the work
men. The train was thrown down an em
bankment some ten or twelve feet, breaking
some of the cars into fragments and piling
them up into a confuseo mass.
The first and second passenger cars-were,
the moat injured, but the whole train was
more or less damaged. Mr. Warren de
scribes the scene at this time as terrible. The
passengers were jammed in the debris of
the broken cars, and the cries of the wounded
who were fastened in by the crushed and
broken cars were awful to hear. In the se
cond car, in which Mr. Warren was seated,
there were four killed outright,. and nearly
all in the car more or less injured. Besides
Mr. Warren,.thert were two others from
this city injured—Mrs. Mahala Porter, con
siderably bruised, and Mr. Lewis, injured
in the shoulder.. Mr. Warren's injuries.are
in the right knee and left shoulder, but are
not serious.
Tile indignation of the passengers against
the negligent workmen who had caused the
fearful accident was intense, and if they
had been caught the consequence would
have been 'serious. A. number of the
wounded came up last night, and more ar
rived by the trains to-clay. Everything:
was done by the officers of the train and the•
uninjured passengers to extricate and re
lieve the Wounded.
RICHMOND AND NEWPORT NEWS RAIL:
ROAD.—The survey of this road, says the
Richmond Dispatch, was begun on the 3d
of September, under the direction of Col.
Ambrose C. Dunn, chief ergineer , and was
completed on Wednesday, October 31st.
The whole length is ascertained by this sur
vey to be only sixty-nine miles, with a
maximum grade of only twenty-two feet.
It will be nearly a straight line, having few
curves, and none less than one mita radius.
There will be but one bridge—of fifteen
hundred feet, over the Chickahominy. The
company are building the road themselves,/
and are rapidly going on with the grading
from Newport News towards Richmond.

OR, A FEW PLAIN WORD WITH CG SUMP-
Dr. Schenck's theory and treatovnit of
Consumption contrasted with that of other
Doctors.
Consumption is as easily cured wany
other disease, yet the practice as laid down
by physicians rarely cures it. Dr. Schenck's
medicines and treatment differ altogether
from the practice laid down by physicians.
It cannot be denied that Schenck's Pal
monie Syrup,Seaweed Tonicand Mandrake -
Pills cure many low cases of Consumption.
Go where you- may, you will hear of some
one almost raised from a death-bed of Con
sumption by these medicine; and at the •
same time you will hear of many that have
taken them and died, for the simple reason
that they have no lungs left, or not enough
left to get into a healing condition ; or as ,
soon as they get a little better a fresh cold
is taken. It is true that when Dr. Schenck's
medicine gets diffused throughout the sys
tem, the patient is not near so liable to take
cold, yet the bronchial tubes are diseased,
and patients may put on as many clothes
as they please, if they go out is air they
must inhale it, and the change of air is
enough to inflame the lungs and prevent
them from healing.
Many think if they take the medicine they
shoula cure, no matter how careless they
may be in many other particulars: What
Dr. Schenck now requires of his paffents is
this: Take his medicines according to the
directions as near as possible, and if the
lungs are diseased,if they have a bad cough,
to stay in the house, and if very bed, stay
in their rooms. No matter about fresh air,
which is generally believed by physicians
to be best for patients. The air in the house,
with the windows• down is good enough to
heal the lungs, if the system is put in a
healing condition.
Marty persons that have consumption
think they feel better by going out into the
air; they may come home and relish :.din
ner, and feel better; but does this heat the
lungs? No: it just irritates them enough to
prevent their healing, and they all die. The
majority of the curtas Dr. Schenck makesare
of patients confined to their beds with con
sumptien; the system undergoes a thorough
change, and the appetite is restored before
they get out of - their rooms. If such ones
are cured, why should those walking the
streets not be cured? Because they are
continually taking little - colds—hardly
enough to be perceptible,. yet sufficient to
prevent the lungs from healing. If people,
when they take a severe cold,.would , stay in
the house and -- prevent taking additional
'cold, the first would get well of itself; with
out medicine, and there would be- vary
little consumption; - yet physicians say, "Go
out," and patients go and take colds one
after another until they die..
The only way , to cure consumption where
cavities have formed in the lungs is to cleanse
the stomach and bowels of the mucus-and
slime with Schenck's Mandrake Pills; to-re
store the appetite with Seherick's Sea Weed
Tonic; and with Schenck's Pulmenic Syrup
and plenty orgood, nourishing food, new
healthy blood is made. The blood works
into the system, disease works ont-the-abt
scess heals, anclthe patient gets well; and
frequently quite fleshy.
Dr. Set enck is continual) curing con
sumption by this treatment. Pr lq medicines
fix the system in such a way that the patient
gets a good appetite, and by eating plenty
of the richest food, `makes- new, healthy
blood, and this, in its passage through-the
system, takes up the vitiated matter, and is
thrown off, healthy matter taking its place
—the patient becomes, as it were; a new
being.
Dr. Schenck makes pa'ofessional visits-to
many of the largest vities,.and says it is a
great deal harder to cure consumption in
home portions of the country than others.
For instance, Boston. There are more-lung
diseases there than in any other place he
visits, and it is harder to cure them;: but
• take a patitct from there-to- Philadelphia,
or in the lower part of New Jersey, and the
lungs will begin to heal very quickly,
although there is plenty of consumption
there; but the change from New Englandto
this section of country has•a happy effect.
Patients all seem willing to believe that if
they can only get good fresh air they would
improve faster, and many go in summer to
the mountains, Cape May,' or some other
watering-place; and if the lungs are badly
affected they have to return immediately,
for the air is too fresh and bracing, and-fre
quently shortens their days. Some• go to
Cuba, and others to St: Paul, Minnesota,
and derive benefit. One place is always
warm and the other emtretnely cold, but the
temperature is even, and they are not liable
to take cold, and this is one of the most im
portant things to guard-against. Consump
tives, stick to your rooms;-never mind what
your doctor says; do not lay yourselves liable
to take a slight cold. Take the Pulmonio
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
Exercise about your room as much as possi
ble, and if the lungs are not too far gone
you will get well.

THE manuscript department of the
Library in Paris has just been en
riched with a collection of the Buddhist
books of Southern India. It was obtained
by M. Paul Grimbot, who applied several
years ago for the perilous posts of consul of
France at Colombo and Moulmein, and
pursued his task unremittingly for' six
years. The Buddhist priests in general he
found exceedingly obliging, and the high
priest of the temple of Dadals,near Point de
Gaße, superintended the transcribing. In
this manner one hundred dad twenty-six
manuscripts were colleoted, comprising very
nearly the whole Buddhist literature of
Ceylon and the Birman empire. This col
lection, added to the works already in the
possession of the Imperial -library, and
chiefly left by Eugene Bournottf, constitutes
a whole which at present has no rival in
Europe. There are two different texts of
the Buddhist writings. That of the north,
written in Sanscrit, is the original from.
which the priests of Thibet, Mongolia and
China have derived their respective trans
lations. Tbe southern text, originally writ.
ten in Pali, is found disguised under differ
ent alphabets in. Ceylon and throughout the
- Siamese and Biriman territories. It is by
far the more important of the two.
