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. Let them become
Captains of Emigration ; hunt down the foxes'
that spoil the Vineyard of the World; and keep
their eyes on the leading hound in packs Of,

CRUMB.
r • THE WELLIARDIEORT TRAGEDY.
Sideide of a Tonna Philadelphian.
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

. _ 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 ,

death. Whether the story ot his career and
position in. Prance is true or fabse, it is un
iloubtedly true that, his wife occupies a place
near the person of the Empress:3; and it was
the receipt of a letter from her that hastened!
the end of his existence.
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-.

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.:.

tdon of a Young Ran.
[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.

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 , .

THE BUFFALO TRAUEDY.
PARAGUAY.
High ly important 'DieconsiOns—The
Pipe's Probable Defection.
The Roman correspondent of the Pall Mill
Gazette, says
Rome, Jan. B.—The Fathers of the Council
assembled this morning at nine o'clock, to
continue, in a private congregation, the ad
journed. debate on the adienuda decretorurn.
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.

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.

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 •
