Foreigners find a difficulty In understanding ow t ?}j c^ l oi 6C bow 0 u could havo arisen at all, , Btlll aro °duz could bavo proceeded as It dl^„ n T B*b H fififng zlcd to see such a person as Gen. Banks filling the position of Chairman of tho I' orelgn At fairs Committee some three or four years in sue cession iha« he Is of Blight rep u tation among bis own countrymen, and that the reports or propositions he makes, whother on naturalization, the conflict of laws, the rights and obligations ol' neutrals, or any other sub ject that arises, are either suppressed or so trans formed that their author cannot recognize them in their ultimate shape. Their as tonishment is not lessened when they lol low the discussions of the popular branch of the Legislature upon General Banks’s proposals. The sound conclusions of the majority are scarcoly able to efface the memory of the wild theories that are broached, and apparently received with re spect before the final decision is expressed. The explanation of tho anomaly is simple. The truth is, that while no people are so educated in the art and mystery of domestic government as the Americans, no people are more ignorant of the principles of international conduct and the polities of foreign States. A . few great lawyers, who are never found in the Legislature, thoroughly understand interna tional law; but the mass of the nation know nothing of it, and ns little of the principles of government In other countries. Tne House of Representatives, unchecked, as the House of Commonß commonly is, by tho presence of two or three masters of the subjects, is entirely at sea when questions of foreign affairs arise for dis cussion, and its members aro forced to grope their way through a multitude of words darken ing knowledge before they can form a conclu sion. It is to their infinite credit.for moderation and sagacity that the conclusions they do form under such unpromising circumstances com monly command our respect by their good sense and justice. _ , FRANCE. Tlie Body of l>oul» P6llip|>i>-Sap°- Icon’s statue. The French Senate, on January 28, had before It two petitions calling for the removal ol the re mains of Louis Philippe to France. The grounds brought forward In ODe of these petitions were that the late King bad brought the bones of Na poleon from St. Helena to France. The Senate rejected the petitions, laying down “that the piouß duty of restoring these noble a shes to their native soil belonged exclusively to the family of the illustrious dead.” A statue in relief of the Emperor Napoleon on the facade of the newly-erected portion of tne Tnileries, fronting the quay, between tho Pavil ions de Leediguieres and La Tremouille, has just been exposed to view by the removal of the scat folding. An inscription underneath runs thus: “Napoleon 111., Emperor, rebuilt from 1861 to 1868, In the Palace of the Tuileries, the wing raised from 1607 to 1663 by Henry IV., Louis X111.,-and Louis XIV.” SPAIN. The Protestant Service in Madrid. A correspondent writes: At the Protestant service which was celebrated in the Spanish capital on Sunday, the 31st ult., hundreds of persons were unable to obtain admis sion for want of room. Tho owner of the house where worship is performed has been anony mously threatened with assassination. There was a great demonstration yesterday In Madrid in fa vor of freedom of worship, and a procession of republicans to the government took place. Tho government still states that it will refer the sub ject to the Cortes. Civil Marriage in Austria. It seems that the Austrian Government doeß not intend, as was reported, to support tho bill which has been Introduced Into the Chamber for rendering civil marriage'compulsory. Two of tho Ministers have just declared that the Govern ment does not consider such a measure necessary, and will therefore oppose It. Thov think any at tempt to deprive marriage of its religious character would be repugnant to public opinion, and that the liberty now accorded of contracting a civil marriage when the clergy refuse to per form the ceremony Is quite sufficient as a measure of protection to the people. Floods in Great Britain. The liOndon papers of the 2d inst. say that the gales and floods of the past few days have been attended with serious consequences. Some of the principal streets of the city of Cork were on Saturday from three to four feet deep in water. Tho traffic on the lines of railway on both sides of the river was stopped, the rails having been submerged; and several breaches were made in the Queenstown direct line. At Youghal the sea broke over the railway, destroying a portion ef tbe station, overturning wagons and making se rious breaches in the permanent way. Part of Queenstown is aIBO under water. More wrecks arc reported on the coast of Cornwall, a breach has been made on the Booth Devon line, near Dawlißh, and the traffic is interrupted. A mile of the Caffibrian Railway, near Borth, has also been washed away. The mail train had passed over It a short time previously. In Oxfordshire the floods are increasing, and considerable ap prehension will be caused should the rough and wet weather not speedily modorate. the obetan tiioiiiii.il Ihe Insurrection not yet Extinct. Constantinople, Jan. 20. — The present status of the Cretan Insurrection is this: the French volunteers have all left, and the Insurrection is kept up exclusively by the Cretans themselves and the native chiefs, Hadji, Crlari, Ac., Ac., they who commenced the movement, and who have fousht in all the principal engagements. They are well armed and number 6,000 or 8,000. They live off the coun try, trusting to occasional aid in the arrival of a chance steamer or sailing vessel with ammuni tion, provisions, Ac. They prevent the Turkish forces, 40,000 in number, from penetrating into the mountain fastnesses. They are as hardv as their native rocks—they steep on the Helds of snow, eat weeds and grass when no other means of sustenance can be had, drink snow-water and lead a life of exposure which the veteran soldiers of Rastia could not endure. Such men will hold out to the last, for they have sworn to achieve the redemption of the island from Turkish rule or perish in the attempt. The fact that the blockade is kept up os strictly as hereto fore is the best proof of the continued existence ol the insurrection. When you hear that the blockade of Creto is raised, ihen you may believe that the insurrection 1b put down, but not till then. The Conference has only put things as they were before the rupture—nothing more It has settled nothing. Volunteers will go again to Crete, and whenever the Enoßisgets a chance she will slip over and throw in a cargo of supplies. Tribune. OBEAT HUE IN BLOOUFIELD, N. J, Bcstreycd-toss - S 60,c00.

The building being d, 7. B P d Ued with combustible stock burned with fearful rapidity. There is no lire dopart ment or apparatus in Bloomfield, and the efforts of the individuals who rapidly collected were of little avail. A large stock of Instruments was on hand ready to bo shipped away. A few of these were taken out and with other things, between six and seven thousand dollars worth of property was saved. The total loss is variously estimated at from lony u> flft v thousand dollars. There was au insurance upon the buildings and surroundings ol This includes the stable, horses, wagons and a quantity of lumber In theyard, all of Which were saved. The Insurance was held by Eastern companies. One of the most calamitous effects of the fire is the throwlng out of employment of over eighty mechanics. Mobl of them-are heads of families, and U is feared that suffering will ensue. The firm, however, hope to bo in working operation in three or four weeks time. (311VX BULJ-IEITJLN .

Smith, the well-known actor and manager, from con gestion of the brain. He was nearly sixty-eight years of age, having been born on the 20th of April, 1801, in Chenango county, In this State. At an early age ho removed to the West, where he introduced the theatrical profession, first appearing on the stage at Vincennes, Indiana, in 1819. His success from the start, though some what slow, was sure. He gained in popularity with the people of the Western Btates, in nearly all of which he appeared. For about eight years be did not perform in any of the large cities ef the Union, but In 1827 he left the West for tbe purpose of accepting an engagement in New Orleans, in which city he first appeared in the character of Bill Lackaday. The following year he weDt to Mississippi, aDd at Natchez was dubbed “Old Sol," from the many times in which be played “old men” parts. Mr. Smith's success in tbe South was great from the outset. His' popularity increased with rapidity,until from be luga stuck actor on n salary he became one of the most important theatrical managers in that section. Indeed, for a largo number of years no manager outside of the most im portant cities in tjie Sohth could compete with bis firm, which was known as Ludlow & Smith. The deceased passed so many years in the North and Somhweßt that he was bnt little known in this part of the Union, although by reputation bis Dame was familiar to a large number of persons. In 1835 be performed at the old Park Theatre in this city for a brief time; but the uudiences of tho Miesiieippi Valiev were more congenial to bis tastes, and he soon re lumed to them. One of the great sources of the success of the deceased in the South was his genial temper and sociable disposition, which soon gained him friends among tho quick-tem pered but convivial and hospitable Southerners. “Old Bol” was always certain of a hearty welcome wherever he went, from St. Louis to New Or leans, Little Rock to Galveston. As a compan ion he was a Bure cure foi the blues. The fund of humorous anecdotes he possessed and drew from Hberallv never failed to excite the risi bilities of the most melancholy of mortals. Nol long ago ho published in book form a oollectiou of rich stories relating to the theatrical proleseion. Mr. Smith leaves two sonß behind him, wboaro well known as actors of more than ordinary merit—Mark Smith, stage manager at Booth’s theatre, aDd Sol. Smith, Jr., the popular low comediaD, now engaged at Wood’s Museum. The death of “Old Sol” will be sincerely re gretted by the profession Id general and by thou sands m the West and South, where he won all of his reputation and popularity— Herald.
