Vesterday,-the Mike de Broglie, one of the oldest statesmen In - Btirope, died at the ad vanced age, of ,eighty five. lie was born _in 1785, and at the age of nine lost his father; who had teltised to emigrate and died on the Ile served in diploroatic And ad ministrative capacities under Napoleon I who rematkedhis intelligence andlndustry. Never attached to Napoleon, he regarded the Itesto ration with satisfaction, and, Louis, xvriL named him a peer of _ F rance. He attained the right to take part in the de tates a few days before the judgment on Marshal Ney. • The Duke de Broglie spoke many times during the trial in favor of the ac cused, but in vain; he was sentenced to death, and on the morning of December 7, 1815, he was shot. The Duke showed the same inde pendent spirit in the' legislative proceedings previous to the Revolution of 18:10, and served in various rninisterialcapacities under Louis Philippe. In 18:14, when Ge n. ackson pressed the Araerican claims on France he retired hem the Ministry on the rejection of the indemnity bill, but was recalled by the Mug the month after, and with the title or Pre.sident ef Council. In 18311, he retired i tour ottice, and withstood every solici tation to accept it again. After the, electien of Louis Napoleon, he entered'the Legislativte Assembly.to promote monarchical-views-but the comp &ilea disappointed his calculations. In 18.10 i he was admitted into the French Academy, and next- appeared before the pub. lie in 1851, when he entered a prosecution agaiast the Prefect - of Police for the illegal seizure of a work on which he had been OCACtI. • pied. His history since then Is, doubtle&s, for the- most part social, and must be related by those who knew the old Duke more familiarly than those who have recorded his paSt cal life. An Italian correspondent sends to the New York Post the following: " We have just 'had the denouement of what did promise to be quite a little romance. Three Americans who passed kist winter at Nice may remember the excitementeaused by the mysterious disappearance of a Mrs. Hill, who was, supposed to have droWned herself or to have eloped. The Var Was dragged for her body, and a runaway c3nide of sus, , Menu's manners, was pursued to a Genoese Hotel ; but all searches proved vain until within a few weeks, when the husband learned that the lost one was safe and sound in a ltomau.convent. So he came on, had au interview with the Secretary of State, and demanded her surrender. Antonelli said, Certainly, if she choo'es to go with you;" and gave him an order to that elThet. Mr. Hilt went, and saw and did not conquer, as the lady declined to go home, alleging that she was not happy, with him, and was happy where she Was; he cried Out that it wasa .Matara case, and threatened the English fleet, &c., &c. ; but Antonelli , simply replied Non Possionus: your wife is of age, and we cannot do violence to her inclinations." All the poor man could learn was the manner of her flight. She bad. suffered some family affliction, got religious, hired a fishing-boat,. and coasted 'down to Civita Vecchia. At Rome she was Cordially received, of course, and so the tale has come to a prosaic ending. "Two Netv York ladies, Mrs. Hicks and Mrs. Ward Burnett, imitated Mrs. Hill's ex ample last week, at least HO far as to become Catholics ; but neither of them has expressed any desire to renounce the world, the flesh and the devil to the extent of conventual se elusion The following letter .from Mr. Ruskin ap pears in the London Telegraph : As, thirty years ago, , I publicly expressed a sti (mg opinion on the subject of field sports. and as, with more accurate knowledge, fluid the - same opinion still and more strongly, evil you permit we to 'dace the controversy be tween your correspondents, in which I have .no time to take part, on somewhat clearer grounds. Reprobation of fox-hunting on the ground I of cruelty to the fox is entirely futile. More. pain is caused to the draught-horses of Lon don in an hour, by avariciously overloading them, than to all the foxes in England by the hunts of the year; and the rending of body and heart in human death, caused by neglect, in our country cottages, in any one winter, could not be equalled by the death-pangs of any quantity ot foxes. . • The real evils •of fox-hunting are that it wastes the time, misapplies the energy; ex hausts the wealth, narrows the capacity, de bases the taste, and abates the honor, of the upper classes of this country ; and instead of -keeping, as one of your correspondents sup: poses, "thousands from the workhouse," it sends thousands of - the poor both there, and Into the grave. The athletic training given by fox-hunting is excellent; and such training hs vitally necessary to the upper classes. But . it ought always to be in real service to their country; in personal agricultural labor at the head ot their tenantry; and in - extending English life and dominion in waste regions, against the adverse powers of nature.

On' - Wednesday we published a special de apateh from our Williatnsport correspondent, giving accounbof the suicide Of a young Phila delphiam .The .follo wing fuller_particulars of the sad tragedy are - from the - Lyctuning Ua t elle of yesterday.: . • We have to record this morning another of ' those startling and appalling in stances of self-destruction- that have been of such frequent occurrence in our city during the past year. A young man named Saniuel Landoiler, of Jewish descent, who was stop-. ping at the City Hotel,deliberately terminated his existence by shooting himself in the head with a four-barrelled pocket4istol,of Sharpe's patent. It seems he came to the city on the 18th inst.; and on Tnesday evening bad left in structions with the clerk of the hotel to. be called in time for Wednesday morning's train East. The boy went to his. room about 7 o'clock and woke him, and returned at 8, in consequence of hie not having arisen and called him again. • This.time he rose up In the bed and asked why he had not been called sooner. The boy . then left him, and about a - quarter betbre 99 o'clock Mr. Charles H. Colborn the clerk of the hotel, proceeded to his room to *as- - certain why he did net get UP;and upon open. ing the door discovered him lying on his back across the bed, with his feet on the tioor, ap parentlydead. Mr..Vari Buskirk was called, and it was dhicovered.thit he had shothimself in the heal, but was still living. Dr. H. H. Smith, the Coroner, was summoned, but it was fotind to be out of the question for him to live long, and about 11 o'clock he ceased to breathe. A jury was einpanelled at 2 o'clock P. M., and examined a number of witnesses ' most of whom belonged to the hotel. When Mr. Van Buskirk andethe clerk first /loitered the room, they found him lying on hiWback and the pis tol lying on his left side. He was but partially dressed, having only his pants, boots and shirt on.' A girl belonging to the house, who was occupied in a room three or four doors from . that in which the sad event occurred, heard the report of the.piatol, but did not attach any importance to it, not knowing precisely what it. was. A' post motley/ examination was made by Drs. Smith and Alba, and the ball was found to have entered the skull above the left eye, passing through the brain in a down ward direction, and stopping against the cerebellum. Dr. Alba testified that death. must have resulted from the wound thus inflicted. The parents of the young man reside at No. 808 North Fifth street, near Brown, Philadel phia His father is a merchant, doing business at :M.l Market street. A despatch was sent to them apprising them of the sad affair, by Moses. F. Ulman, to which he received a re ply requesting him ,to have the body taken care of until the arrival .of the parents. ..- Among his effects was found a letter ad dressed to his mother, and dated January 2lst, but as Mr. Van Buskirk declined to have the letter published, we Can Only give a synopids of the contents. It began by stating that he intended to commit suicide that day. The letter, is of a rambling character, and does not display any particular emotion. He urges his brother not to' follow in his foot paths—not to spend as much money as he had, and not to associate with company that had more money than he bad himself. He sends his love to a number of friends, and requests his mother to tell them that he will never visit them again. ' Be says there is no 1 use . of his living any longer, as he was only a plague and a sorrow to his friends. He requests that he be buried in a plain board coffin, and that none but relatives attend the funeral. The motives that led to the commissiOn.of the rasli . act have not been .fully learned as yet, but it is thought the young man had been living very fast for some time previous to his death, and having left home under not the most agreeable circumstances, had become embarrassed for financial resources. From his letter it would seem that hefelt very much ashamed of his past conduct, and resorted to the very unsatisfactory remedy of suicide. He is a young man, aged probably 17, and since his arrival here had mingled consider ably in the society of the Jewish people, and seethed to be in good spirits most of the time. His body Was placed in a coffin and left.in the parlor of the hotel to await the arrival of his friends. • The Jury, at 7 o'clock, assembled at the office of Dr. Smith and made the following report Coliiinowealth of Paingylvania, Ly6miny Coubty ss. : An inquisition indented and taken -at Wil liamsport, in the county of Lycoming, the twenty-sixth day of January, A.

A Reputed French Count and Captain Takes Stz7chnitte. f From the Cairo, Bulletin, Jan. 21.1 . _ more... Dr. A. Cerro, ore generally known as the " French Doctor," visited the City Brewery yesterday afternoon, shortly after 5 o'clock, and asking the bystanders to drink with him, called for a glass of beer. Before drinking it he drew a small vial from his'pocket, and taking a small quantity of the contents' upon the blade of his knife, sifted into the beer, and, • With the remark that it was "strychnine—good for the stomach—excellent for those who in tend to go to Villa Ridge," emptied the glass. As it had been his custom to take medicines iu this, way, his conduct excited little •or no attention. He insisted, however, that he had taken strychnine and would " finish" at six o'clock. He then passed out on the platform in front of the brewery ;• sat down, and soon tumbled over in.a terrible' convulsion. True to his prediction that he would " finish" at six o'clock, he died while many of the time pieces of the city were proclaiming that hour. • Dr. Carre was not•a regular physician, but those who were acquainted with him say that he bad been well educated, was 'known in France as Count Veitte, and filled the position of captain in the French army, He tied his , native country to eaeape the conseqiences of , a ,COUNpiriey , against Emperor •Napoleon, .whom he hated with an inveterate hate.

Whether the story ot his career and position in.

Be bas'during his stay In Cairo received ;several letters .from his wife, nearly all of them imploring him to return. kle received a letter of this kind yesterday morning, and the reflection that he was:. a poor, penniless castaway, who perhaps would never be in a condition to rejoin his family, spurred him on to self-destruction. Yesterdayr morning he entt;red Mr. Kluge's grocery, and asked the' clerk to go to Mr. Feith's ' and buy him a coffin. He subse quently met Mr. Feith, who had just shipped the body of General Herron to. Villa Ridge, and assured him that he would soon have the job of,, , diposing of his body in like man-. net ' During the day he Mid other parties that be "had too much trouble here,- but would be happy to-night." His hearing, how ever, gave no proof of his sincerity-, so every body-addressed by him paid no heed to =whnt he said.. Those who saw him, as we did this morning, stark and stiff in his pauper coffin, have .evidence that he .was fearfully earnest iu all he said. .An inquest was held by - Coroner Corcoran over the body, during which most of the above . , facts were detailed bythe witnesses. The ver dict of the jury was,.that the deceased had come to his death from poison administered by his own bands.:. touring the day the friends of the deceased provided means to secure a good coffin and respectable interment of the body in the cem etery at Villa Ridge.

[From the Thitrato Express ofiron. 25.1 Yesterday morning we published, the facts connected with the arrest of Theodore Nichols and the successful search after the watch of th 0 unfortunate victim of this young murderer, He bas at last succumbed to the fearful pressure of circumstantial evidence and confessed his guilt. This morning,in conversation with twO or three visitors, he evinced more than usual in terest in his condition,and anxiously j,nquired if there was any pOssibility of getting off without being hanged. When he was informed that that was a matter for ajury to determine what his intent was in committing the deed, he appeared .very despondent, and, after a while, apparently :overcome by - the weight of his own reflections;voluntarily delivered him self of the following confession : " I am sorry lam in this position, but it is too late now. If they had not found the watch I should have been safe ; but the evi dence is too strong, and I suppose I shall be hung. When I left Olean I had no intention of doing anything of the kind. As I passed Dr. Mead's office I saw the doctor, and made up my mind to get his money. I went iu and sat down, asked the doctor to loan me S 2 to go s te Dunkirk; he declined to loan me any I money, - and 1 waited an opportunity and grabbed him with the intention of taking it" from: him. The doctor was too strong for me, —and got me down. We had a severe scuffle, and the doctor got up and went and locked tue dour, and locked me in. I thought he was going to get a gun to guard me, for the doctor keeps a gun, and lie is an awful tempered man when be - gets mad. I seized a small shovel by the stove and hit him over the head two or three times. and the store key fell from his hand, and I` don't know but 1 struck him once or twice after that.. I then took his watch and money, . unlocked the store door, went out, locked the door after me, acid started for Olean." He stole a passage to Genesee, went from_ there to . Horuellsville, and thence to Buffalo. Each moment .seems to increase the realization of the terrible responsibility of his crime, and herwas once or twice beard to say, "Now I - have no hope of escaping the gallowS, and I shall only strive to obtain for giveness from God?' .1 n addition to the confession above printed' the prisoner -has acknowledged that he was arrested here several years since for stabbing a man, that being his first and only motions OirCIACC. Hopes of Cutting OffLopez—Dom PedrO's Determination to Push the Campaign-- !Sufferings of the Paraguayans. 1110 1315 JANEIRO Jan. s.—The latest de spatches from the Paraguayan territory indi cate that the Argentine Mthistry, at least, con sider the war over. Varela, the Minister of Foreign AffairS of the Confederation-, has made an expedition to the army; and, in view of the " situation," has con cluded an arrangement with the Brazilian Minister for a , general, reduction and withdrawal of the troops, the Commander in -Chief; the opinion that withdrawal will not embar ra.s his plans for the further pursuit of Lopez in the monntaitis—The NatinnalGut_.rd of the. A rgent ine - Colifederation is now being lauded' Ut Buenos Ayres. The nominal support which ruguay has given to the war has also been withdrawn, leaving the Brazilians with a small remnant of the •Argentine army to complete the work.which yet remains for them to do. A flying column of 3,000 men, under General Piedra, is in sharp pursuit of the despot, who is known to be retreating toward. .Quidaba by Pauadaro, whence he can cross into Bolivia by the Rio &pa. Ho will be cut off if the flanking • column of Gen. Camara can be supplied with provisions. But this is the great difficulty. Even Lopez is in extreme need. One ox per day is all he can give as rations -for each 200 men, and to eke out a subsistence they have to forage for bitter oranges, which is all they can gather in that legion. Count d'Eu, owing to the fall of the river, has returned with his main army to Rosario, the large steamers being unable to ascend the river to a point above this place, and the smaller boats are of insufficient capacity to supply the whole force. The Count, however, reflecting the views - ot - the - Emperor, will vigorously push the new campaign, until the last remnant of Lopez's force has been dispersed, and the tyrant himself either captured, killed, or driven into exile. This is an unpopular de termination. The Brazilians consider the war over, and want the expenditure to cease, and although over 210,000,000 have already been sunk,-the Emperor considers it highly dishonorable and unsafe for Brazil to rest until ample security is' gained for the future - by the annihilation of Lopez's:power: - The sufferings of the Paraguayan people are represented to ba terrible. An eye-witness, recently returned, says that starvation and absolute nakedness are far from being the exception. At, night the plazas and squares and sidewalks of the streets are the dormito , . ries where hundredS of * the unfortunates lie down to rest.Tribtene, —Garibaldi in a recent letter, says : " I know not which is the greater, the insolence of him who treads, or the ondtirance of him who is trodden under foot. Throughout all my life when I have had a‘hlow on the shoul der I have always tried to return it full in the face. It is for this reason that I say with Whatwe put up with wo deserve.'" • —The Mail of Montgomery, Ala., asks whether "the national debt, stained with fratricidal gore, shall be repudiated and bid den forever /Nut sight, or be funded an*so become a monument of the shame attd ruin' of the people?" ..Tho, monument probahly be erected. • THE BUFFALO TRAUEDY.

After the celebration of MSS, the President of the Cardinal-Legates announced that the Pope hid appointed. Cardinal Biz zarri president of the deputation of regular orders. The debate Was then resumed, but I have not yet learned the names of the speakers,. and at this moment can only tell you there was another adjourn ment, which carries the discussion forward till next Monday, approaching the middle of January. The Council has now sat a mouth without having passed a single decree, onset tied even one point of, the multitudinous ques tions to be brought under consideration, and there is no sign of a termination to the present debate. There aro still many bishops to speak, and up to, the sitting of to-day none of the ora l. tors have been limited to time; but it is now proposed to make a standing order on this point; as otherwise the debate •may be pro- - tracted for MOXlthfi. The. subject .was men { Honed yesterday in the Commission on Dogma I at its first meeting at the Vatican, under the presideney, :of Cardinal Mho. A. good deal of feeling was shown at ~ the opposition evinced. the. Council to tbe projects of decrees, , particularly as re ! gards the complaints of Monsignor &toss ! meyer and Monsignor Genouilhac ; and several members expressed a willingness to consider the objections and alter the form of ) the decree. Other members remarked that the Opposition, while loud in protests, had not proposed an amendment. To this it was replied that the committee should 'take ad vantage of this omission, and itself bring for ward an amendment; but the question was left undecided. _ • The . chiefs of the Opposition were instantly informed of the distribution of the memoran dum on Infallibility, mentioned in my letter of yesterday, and, before the day expired, they sent round a memorandum opposing the dogma. But this document, though ably drawn up, is unsigned, while that of the ' bears forty signatures, which gives it a great advantage, and the circulation of the anonymous memorandum is regarded by the public as a false step. There is an absurd rumor here that the Opposition has cast its eye on Monsignor Dupanloup as the succes sor to.Pins_lX...mease .of ..the...Pope's.death during the sitting of the Council. Monsignor Dupanloup, in the first place, is ineligible for the Papal Chair, not being a Cardinal; and, in the next, he has never been thought of for . it. At the same time, the Pope shows no sign of dying, being in better health than he has . enjoyed for 80111 C years, though he has lost his vivacity, and become very reserved, in which point, • indeed, he resembles Monsignor Du panloup, who now hardly . opens his lips. There are even whispers that the Bishop is ,ffoing the way of Father Hyacinthe. Carnal Mathieu bi on the eve of returning - here. He went to Franco, as I informed yon at the time, on the business of his diocese, and, though very discontented,did not abanou his duties in the Council. Several Austrian and Hungarian Bishops have asked the Pope for a similar leave of absence ; and as the Holy Father believes their presence in the'Reichs rath will. be serviceable to the Church, their request been granted. It is now admitted that the Council will not conclude its sittings during the present year. The Empress of Austria has visited the catacombs of St. Calisto, in company with the celebrated Christian antiquary Rossi. The Cincinnati Gazette thus treats the ques tion of infallibility If the Council votes the Pope infallible, does the Council confer the infallibility on ' him or simply recognize that which already exists? If the Council confers infallibility on the Pope, .does the Council thereby cease to be infalli ble ? Does all the infallibility of the Church thenceforth become concentrated in rho Pope How did the General Council become infal lible ? If from God. how can ,it transfer to. one man this, gift which God conferred on the whole Church? If the action of the Council be simply to recognize the infallibility of the Pope as previously existing, then the Pope, being alreatiy the infallible power, is the only power that van declare himself infallible. if he be infallible let him so proclaim himself. If he be notinfallible, no Council can make him FO. Lord litacaulpy's Queer Freaks—A For- To the 'Editor of the Erening Bulletin—no "curious story of the Historian, Lord Mae- caulay," which you published in your issue of yesterday, on the authority of the London Daily Telegraph may be "extravagant," but it is by no means new. The fact ‘.if the,- .. great. historian storian sinashing glassware at the dinner table, not only of the Star and Garterr. Coffee room, but in the restaurants of London, is a thrice told tale. I have seen it stated at least a dozen times in as many years ; kind during a recent visit to England I met and conversed with persons who had been witnesses to this Micaulayan freak. Getierally,:however, this after-dinner exploit is said 'to baye been. ac-' comnanied, or instantly followed, by another no less extraordinary. kacahlay, after smash ing the glass (which, by the way, he as often did iu the middle of his dinner as at its proper close) would rise from the table, seize his umbrella, 'which he invaribly carried instead of a cane,) whirl it wildly three or four times above his head, theh ask for and pay his bill (glass included), and stalk forth utterly ob livimis to the astonished stare from all sides of which he was the focus. The people be lieved that the great historian was laboring under the sudden attack of some tremendous thought. This was probably correct. At any rate it saved - the eccentric Lord -- from being considered crazy. GRAYBEARD. PurtADEr.rnin, Jan. 27, 1870. STREET SONGS IN PARIS. linmense Males or Song Books An English paper says : 6, No less than 27 ( 000 penny song-books are sold every day throughout l'rituce. What is still more surprising is the immense number of persons engaged in the trade. It is_ the Os "tein-fot it Man - or family of beggars topro; cure the song-books and tramp the whole country round, singing the songs in them. This attracts attention, and then they sell the little books. The singers in France number about 800,000. They may be divided into three great orders : those at fixed posts, the tramps who wander about and sing in the streets, and those who frequent the low eat ing -houses. The song-book which has sold the 'most is one containing the Femine id barbe which. Theresa made notorious: This song, however, is of German origin." • r • Skating Rink Illarrued.
