Lyle, Chief Engineer, by the - members of the Fire Department, is now 'undergoing 'the finishing touches, and will probably be coin- Tleted to-morrow. The monument consists of a statue of the deceased, six feet eleven inches in height, to Stand' upon a pedestal abort fifteen feet in height, both cut 'out of Italian marble. It was executed at the establishment of Mr. Andrew Alexander ' at Eleventh and Parrish streets, and Mr. Alfred Stanch, the sculptor, has done his work in the most skil ful, artistic and highly satisfactory manner. The statue represents the late Chief standing in'an easy and natural attitude, in front of a lire-plug: He is clad in the habiliments of his office, with head uncovered. On the left lappol of his coat is his badge. In his right hand there is a horn, and in his left hand he holds, his hat, with 'the frontispiece inscribed "Chief Engineer D. M. L.,". prominently Wl played. Mr. Stanch has made a very line likeness nf the deceased, and the many friends of Mr. Lyleivhia have viewed the figure while it progressed , have complimented the artist_ highly for the correct and successful manner in which he has portrayed all of the features of the late Chief. . • • ' The base upon which the statue will stand is about fifteen feet in height,as before stated. The cap is highly ornamented, the prominent featnres being a laurel wreath a monoirratn, "D. M. L." and a wreath of oa k brancheS. On the front of the die are the emblems of the Fire Department—horn, hook, Bze. , Beneath these is the inscription ‘showing to whose memory the monument is erected." On the reverse of the die are the names of the tire companies compoSing the Lyle Monument Association. This base has a sub-base of Pennsylvania blue marble cut so as to repre sent small square blocks. The project of erecting a monument to the memory Of Chief. Lyle was conceived soon after his sudden and sad death. An associa lion was='formed, and the • contract was awaikled to lir. AleXander. Mr. Stanch, who lias proved-himself 80 'Competent for the work, commenced the model in the spring.. of 1868. This was completed in a few weeks, and then cutting the figure out of marble was begun. There were several delays from various causes, but within a couple Of' Months past, the work was resumed vigorously, and has been pushed to a successful completion. The Monument is very creditable to the artist, Mr. Staucb, to the establishment of Mr. Alexan der, and to the various fire-companies which supplied the funds to pay for it. ' The corner-stone for the monument has al.: readybeen laid in Old Oaks Cemeterv. The iletlicatery ceremonies have been fixed for the ''..r2d of February next, and there will no doubt be a fine display of the Fire Department on the occasion. DEATH OE .4 WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN.—The decease of Mr. A. S. Robinson, yesterday, of consumption, will change the form of the oldest art-business in Philadelphia.

We learn from a letter , from Rev. W. Pool, dated froth the capital on the 2.3i1 of September, and published in a weekly contemporary, that the Queen has had the royal idols publicly burned, that she anal ' her aristocracy have embraced' Christianity, and that the whole province of iwerina, in which the capital is situated, has followed the example of the Government. The Queen em braced Christianity early in the year, and has all the Summer been building a chapel royal, ' Meanwhile, the wooden fence around the Temple of the great national idol had been pulled dow ii, and the priests assumed a threat ening aspect, even hinting that their god had medicine' which would avenge him on the heretic Sovereign. On the tith of September they came in force to the capital to claim their rights as nobles. A Council was called, and it was decided to send the Chief Secretary of State and ether high officials to :the sacred village, seven miles from the capital; and burn the idol before its keepers returned. They set oft the same afternoon, and by an authority from the Prime Minister seized the idol's house. The wood• of the fallen fence - was collected, .and a - time was made, and the contents of the teinple were brought out to be burned. First ; the long cane carried before the idol in proces sions was thrown in.; then twelve bullocks' horns from which incense or holy water had been sprinkled; then three scarlet unbrellas and the silk robe worn over the idol by the 1 keeper who caried It. Then came th , idol's ease—ttnitreaLk 'Y a small tts wede_holl and _ 4 ) 4 fitted with aco rand last of all tile; idol itself. Hardly any of the present generation had seen the god, and great was the surprise when lie was produced. Two pieces of scarlet silk about three feet long •and three inches wide, with a small piece of wood 'about as big as a man's thumb inserted in the middle be tween them, so that the , silk formed as it were two wings, was the great god . of Madagascar, whose . touch was sancti fying, and, whose . nearness , was preservative.' " You:cannot barnr•liim, lie is a god," said the people: "If he be a god hawill not burn," said the officers; " we are-going to try," and held if on a stick in the tire, that the people might sec it as it was consumed.

Under these circumstances Corener Flynn was summoned, when Logan signed the following : 1, James Logan, believingthat I am about to die this night,. and having no hopes of recovery from the injuries I have received; do hereby declare that the charge which was made against me last year of murdering Mr. Charles M.

The , poer creature was so overcome by the exertions necessary to make the statement that for a moment he breathed heavily and, expired five' minutes after affixing his mark to the instrument, surrounded by his friends. This Statement still further envelopes the murder in mystery. From our latest foreign . - files we clip the, following interesting items : Several hundred Jewish families will, next. spring, be sent to America by the Central Committee of the Alliance Israelite at Konigth berg. • The sub-committees' on the Russo- Prussian frontier will soon be in working. order too. The population of Holland, according to statistics just published, amounted ou the Ist, of January, 1869, to 3;628,468, (1,801,4 n male and 1,827,053 female), or a,n,increase of 35,450 inhabitants on the same date in 1868. • " An arrangement," says the North German' CorreVoyid cut, " has been made between the North German Confederation and England, according to which the 'effects of a German sailor dying in a British ship, including the , balance of his pay, should the entire.amount`: not exceed Isso, will be deliVered to the North. German Consul in . London, while the pro-, perty of British sailors dying on. North 'Ger- . man vessels will be placed in the hands of the English Consul of the district in which the orew is discharged." A characteristic sign of the tithes is reported' from Rome. The German KiinstleVerein met recently for the purpose of amending its an cient statues. One paragraph setting forth, "That this union, in all those exceptional case's in which it requires, a special protection, shall place itself under that of the. King of Prussia and the Emperor of Amstria as the two most powerful rulers of Germany," seemed to many of the 'members to require alteration:, and the alteration was instantly made t with only one . dissentient (hiniself an Austrian), by striking ont the name of the Emperor of Austria, so. that that of the Prus sian monarch was allowed to stand. A letter from Madrid says: "It is rumored that a , reconciliation has taken place between the puke tie MontpenSier and Queen Isabella. .The Queen, understanding that the son of the Duchess was unwell, telegraphed to her sister expressing her anxiety. The Duchess, touched by this mark of interest, replied, thanking the Queen warmly for her solicitude. The result iof this exchange of telegrams was the present Understanding between the two families. In the presence of 'the objections made by the young Duke of Genoa's family to his accept- . ing the throne, ,persons high in office at Madrid have been compelled to yield to cir cumstances, and, after a certain time, the Gov ernment of the Regent will consider the .can-, didature of the Duke as abandoned." • Froin information supplied by the Journal officiel it would appear that no doubt , now exiets of the loss of the French despatch boat Gorgone, with all hands (121 in number), oh the rocks south of 'Milani. On the first rumor of the catastrophe two war steamers were sent from ]lrest to ascertain if any of the crew had reached the small islands near the scene of the disaster: 'These vessels have explored the whole of the coast, but have fouud nothing but pieces of wreck broken into fragments by the fury of the 8111. The inhabitants of Ushant and thii other islands were questlened, but they had seen nothing, and wore even unaware of the wreck which had taken place so near them. " The loss is then complete," says the j021217Ut " and all hope must be aban doned of finding a single survivor." . The'llfemoriut Diplomatique relates the fol lowing . 6 owerning the interview. between the Triiiiress and Pope, which it describes as, an edifying ,treat of piety on the. part of the Impress: "When the Holy O Father, went to the Farnese Palace to pay a vieit to the august traveler. "ler Majesty not only insiated On re conducting His floliness to his carriage, but - when they reached the outer door - of the Palace she dropped on her knees to beg anew the Apostolic benediction. , Pius IX., seeing the youthful Sovereign at his feet, hurriedly stretched out bis hand to raise her,saying in a parental tone : 4 Empress,what are you doing ; that is not yoer place.' The Empress, how ever, persisted in remaining in the same po sition until the Sovereign Pontiff :had again given her his benediction,wbicb he according, fy pronounced .with tears in his eyes, in the following words: "I give it to you from the depths of my paternal heart, and also to your august husband and the whole of the:lmperial family.'" The . liettinghaut magistrates have tined 'a baker andiniller in that town •.E5 for selling flour which proved to be adulterated with alma.
