a General Dews THe Strvation at Berit.—A Herald Berlin Letter of the 24th inst., says that the uppermost feeling in Berlin at the present moment is an intense longing for peace, especially among the lower classes, whose desire is emphasized more strongly day after day. ‘They feel the early inclemency of the season, and picture to themselves the sufferings of their friends in the field, ‘Their last penny has been invested in wool- len underclothing and socks, to be sent. off to the army, and they loudly clamor for the termination of the war. A’single battalion of Landwher, under Gen, Kummer, at Metz, in repelling Bazaine’s sortie on the 7th, Jost over 400 fathers of families, leaving as many widows and 1070 orphans. In the suburbs of Berlin the shops of the smaller mechanics -nre closed and so are those of the small butchers, bakers nnd artizans. They have all gone to the front, say the written pla- cards on the shops and lodgings. ‘These and ther evidences of distress among the wople hive aroused a feeling in favor of immediate peace. Dissatisfaction prevails in political cireles on account of the secrecy observed by the Government, relative to the negotiations for the entrance of the Southern States into the German confederation, ‘The only information vouchsafed comes from Versailles, and represents Bavaria and Wurtemburg eager to rush headlong into the arms of the Confederation, while it is well known that the Liberals of Munich, Stuttgart and other places openly demand au German Parliament and a new revised constitution, ‘The position of the Prussian leaders is by no means the same as at the opening of the war, when every body ap- proved the situation and were willing to make sacrifices in behalf of the country, Now they are tired of the war. They are satisfied with the victories and unwilling to go further for the purpose of ambition and nyvrandizement, — a ot Execution or ManGcarer Waters.—The scene at the hanging of Margaret Waters, the English baby farming murderess, in Ilorse-monger Lane jail, London, on the morning of the 1th, is detailed by the Eng- lish papers. The last appeal to the Home Secretary on her behalf was vainly made on the previous day,and she prepared for death, She slept restlessly about two hours, rose early, cary and received the chaplain, The execution was private, yet a small but orderly crowd gathered before the gate. At 9 o'clock the bell began to toll, and she left her cell for the seaffold. On the way, she was pinioned, herself assisting. She mount- ed the steps unaided, and without any signs of fear, took her position on the drop. While the executioner was adjusting the white cap and the noose, she uttered a most fervent and touching extemporary prayer for forgiveness, and with the words still upon her lips the bolt was drawn and she soon ceased to live. After the coroner's inquest, the body was interred within the walls. The woman was a widow, about 34 years old, slim and rather short, with regu- lar and pleasing features, and far above the average in intelligence. ‘To the last she disclaimed any murderous intent, and her eqnduct while under sentence was of a pro- priety befetting her awful position. od eatin If Bismarck means to make tlie German | Patherland,in the words of the national song, “ae far as German tongue shall ring,” and the other nations or fHurvpe were «ply the same principle, nearly every state in Europe will have to be dismembered.

There is no desire on the part of the Canadian authorities to make troyble about the matter, or take undue ad- vantage of existing treaties. At least, this is the way in which the Canadian officials represent the matter to the State Depart- ment. It is understood that as soon as the new Minister to England reaches London, this will be among the first questions to re- ceive his attention, The President would have had it settled this Fall, but for the fret that Mr, Motley will not remain long enough to complete the negotiations, and it was thought best to allow things to remain long enough to finish the negotiations. It is safe to say, however, that there will be no serions trouble about the matter, notwithstanding the somewhat belligerent attitude of General Butler in his speech the other day before his fishermen friends in Massachussetts. — Washington Uorrespondent Boston Post. 00D C0 Divorces.—The return made to the tome Office by the Registrar of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Court for last year, shows that 265 petitions for dissolution of marriage were filed in the year, and 86 for judicial separation of man wad wife; 193 decrees nist and 159 decrees absolute were made for dissolving marriages, and 26 for judicial separation, All these numbers are above the average. Since the court was established, in 1858, 1,575 marriages have been made. ‘The re-marriages of divorced persons in this country do not appear to be many; if the registers can be depended upon as showing them they are very few. ‘The Registrar General reports in England and Wales only 40 marriages after divorce. Sixteen divorced men married spinsters, and two married widows; 17 divorced women married bachelors, and four married widow- ers; and one divorced man married a di- vorced woman. ot i to Tur Emigration rrom Liverroor.--The exodus from Liverpool during the past month has been much below that of the previous year.
