Sows misapprehension has arisen respecting Mrs. GLADSTONE'S proposed Orphanage. It has been strangely assumed that the terrible scourge under which we are still suffering was to be made the plea for pauperizing those able to help them selves ; and that charitable impulses were to be morbidly fostered, and a wholesale neglect of home duties proportionately increased. It seems idle to contradict theories which only the merest intellectual wantonness could have propounded, but it will still be useful to inform our readers pre cisely what is proposed, and the exact purposes for which the aid of the benevolent is sought. Cholera has found its victims among the poorest and most helpless classes of the community. Breadwinners have been cut off whose labours meant breadwinning, and nothing more. The de fective sanitary arrangements, the poisonoria water, foul smells, and noisome dwellings, which are at once the triumphs of metropolitan misgo vernment, and the crying disgrace of our boasted civilization, have wrought terrible havoc among the very poor. The enemy now in our midst has found ready allies in the surroundings of the people upon whom ho laid his hand, and that many a small household is now desolate is the direct consequence of our collective supineness and neglect. This much is indisputable. The only point upon which a difference of opinion can arise is the form in which the prickings of the na tional conscience can be most beneficially assuaged, and the must wholesome channel into which its ready charity should flow. The kind-hearted people who, acting in co-operation with Mrs. GLADSTONE, have set themselves to gauge and alleviate the misery caused by the present visita tion, are aghast at their own discoveries. Letters from clergymen and others in authority vouching for the harrowing particulars they furnish ; details which come under their C.:711 daily observation, and the cases of sudden death which continue to occur with appalling frequency, reveal a degree of helpless, hopeless misery which a liberal subscription list can only partially relieve. It is but natural, therefore, that those philanthropically endeavouring to effect practical good should seek to turn the generous impulses of the public to permanent ac count, and discern in the readiness to afford liberal temporary aid an earnest that a proposal to effect lasting benefits will be freely listened to. Such is, we believe, the end and aim of the pro moters of the Orphanage proposed by Mrs. GLAD STONE. That helpless children, suddenly deprived of father and mother, shall not be thrown hack upon the streets after a few weeks' care and nur ture, but shall be spared the certain contamination and corruption which threatens them now, seems so natural and laudable a wish, that it is diffi cult to understand the spirit in which its real isation can be opposed. It should be clearly understood that the main thing for which funds are asked is a suitable provision for destitute children who have been made suddenly orphans. No other essential is fixed upon. If it can be shown that existing Homes can be so enlarged as to meet the pressing wants of the hour, the money may be applied to that end. If a better plan can be suggested than the one thought of now, its details will be cheerfully listened to. As it is, some of the poor children for whom public sympathy is sought are tempo rarily drafted into the private houses of the bene volent ; and it is obvious that the supply of philanthropists able and willing to undertake such a charge is likely to be unequal to the demand. To say that if orphanages are allowed to multiply the demand for them will increase, is to argue against all charitable establishments, and for that matter against Christian charity generally. To assume that by seeking to protect children of tender ago from the contaminating influences of a degrading and frequently vicious poverty, we de prive their adult neighbours of " opportunities of " virtue," is surely the climax of utilitarian senti mentality. Such, however, was the argument put forth by a contemporary yesterday ; against which must be placed the feeble plaint of the helpless little ones it is sought to aid. Stern political economy mixed up with the jargon of Rousseau is well enough in its way, but there should surely be no quibble as to fostering indolence or encou raging pauperism when moulding plastic raw ma terial into honest God-fearing citizens is the aim, when a terrible calamity has brought about excep tional auffering, and when neither sectarianism THE Fr? Icy ' JP-4. nor social prejudices will be allot to tampei E with or modify the work. when the cholera has passed away, there can be no valid reason that one more benevolent institution should not permanently testify to the ready sympathy it elicited from the rich for the poor. But this is not the point pressing moat strongly now, and so many vague generalities have been marshalled against it that it is desirable to urge upon those inclined to help Mrs. GLADSTONE that the present need is a real and heavy ono, and that every shilling they subscribe will directly alleviate the sufferings of the fatherless. So far as we understand the matter it is intended that the proposed Home shall be managed by a cotmcil of gentlemen, whose names are a guarantee of liberality in the beat sense of the word, and who will govern the admissions and decide upon eligibility. Voting papers, canvassing, and the conventional professional paraphernalia of public charities will be advisedly eschewed, and the whole affair limited to its original purpose, namely, a provision for urgently destitute infants and children. It would be difficult to hit upon a scheme of benevolence less open to objection, or one better suited to the temper and exigencies of the hour, and we have sincere satisfaction in com mending it to the public. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (rills DAY.) CONTINENTAL POLITICS. Glad tidings of peace and goodwill, says the Times, reach us from all quarters. The Emperor Napo leon has no sooner reassured Count von Golta that the friendly relations between France and Prussia shall in no case be interrupted, than he follows up his pacific message by an autograph letter to King Leopold of Belgium, disclaiming all intention of annexing any part of Bel gian territory, and expressing his readiness to promote on every occasion the interests of that kingdom and its dy nasty. Equally cordial are the greetings of the Em peror Alexander of Russia to King William of Prussia. The principle of nationalities and that kings were made for the people and not the people for kings, is pining ground. Even the Czar of all the Russian will not stir a finger to preserve his kinglet cousins in Germany. The King of Hanover, the Elector of Hesse, and even the Senate of Frankfort, stood in the way of the latent but undeniable aspirations of Germany, and the bill that is to abolish those sovereigns and that civic council was yester day laid before the Prussian Houses of Parliament by Count Bismarck. Were all the rest of German royalty to follow, the rinses could not find it in its heart to say that German nationality had been bought at too dear a price. . . . . Referring to the attempts of certain exalted ladies in Berlin to arrest the national policy of Prussia, the Daily News says that names dear to England are mentioned among the leaders of this palace plot for thwarting the national development of Germany, in order that the heaven-born dynasty of the Pumpenknickela may not be despoiled of their sovereign rights. If Hanover had not taught us how easily German royalty can return to its old form out of England, the Daily News could not believe what it hears of the conspicuous part taken in these transactions by a princess very near the throne, at the impulse of affections which in the family circle are worthy of all respect, but have no concern with national states manship. The reassuring letter of the Emperor Napoleon to King Leopold IL shows, says the Herald, that no scheme of an nexation, at all events, is contemplated in the direction of Belgium. The countries which border on France need fea no danger at the hands of her present ruler. Your French liberal, however, evidently hankers after a large slice of Germany, conceiving that it is the " manifest destiny " of France to extend, and that this " extension " must be made at the expense of the Teutonic population. We may be glad that the destinies of France and the future of Europe are not committed to the hands of such men as Forcade. The Telegraph anticipates the greatest benefit from the assembling of the Prussian parliament. The new feeling aroused in Germany will break up the thick crust of apathy and indifference which had gathered on nations de serving of a better future, and must dispel the leaden torpor under which public spirit was perishing, and the light of freedom flickering to extinction. Revived liberty and national progress throughout Northern Germany must now mean their speedy extension to Southern Ger many, to Austria a little later, and, as the wave widens with each succeeding year, by-and-by to Russia. THE WEEKLY PRESS. In an article headed " Mr. Eyre's Last Utter ances," the Examiner says Mr. Eyre is making himself understood. It is clear that he Mu; not a notion of justice. He says that the execution of Gordon had more effect in preventing further risings than any of the other steps taken by the government. But a man is not to be put to death : for purpose* of prevention. A man is not to be allot or ' hung, not for what he has done, but because of some absurd idea ignorant people have about him. Colonel Hobbs made ► target of • man to show that he was not invulnerable, steam which would have been more humanely taught by • volley at twenty nvva, M. Eyre saw nothing but effect in Gordon's execution ; whether the guilt was proved was not the point. An innocent man hanging from a gallows served the purpose of the impression de sired as well as a guilty one, perhaps better to strike terror. It is frightful to think that for twenty years a man has been invested with high colonial authority who is ignorant of the first principles of justice. Mr. Eyre does not know . and is apparently incapable of learning, that intention is the very essence of crime. Gordon's agitation may have tended to the outbreak at Morant Bay, but if it was with out his complicity, or instigation, he was not criminally responsible. In another article on the Primate's prayer the Examiner, quoting the following passage—" We acknowledge with shame and sorrow that we have shown ourselves unthankful for Thy mercies ; wo have followed our own will rather than Thy holy law, and have not in our prosperity honoured Thee as the author and giver of it all "--asks does any one believe that we have, as • nation, deserved these grave reproaches, and, if a particle of them were true, was it not the duty of the prelate to have raised his voice against the sins before they rose to the pitch of iniquity described! Where are the evidences to support any of the charges? At what period in the history of the country has it been in a sounder state as regards religion and morality' There must always be much that is amiss, much that should be amended, but there has been no dete rioration ; and, whatever may be the faults of the nation, they arenot of recent growth, nor of increasing perversity. But the archbishop has unfortunately thought it necessary to ex aggerate our offences, in order to justify the Almighty's wrath in the visitation of the cholera. Here is the radi cal error. Why is he to assume that the cholera is a judgment! How can he pretend to penetrate the in scrutable wisdom of the Almighty? How can he presume to say that this present infliction may not be for ultimate purposes of benevolence! See the charity it calls forth, mark the improvements to which it points in the sanitary condition of the poor. If the ever-destructive typhus be ever cast out from amongst them, it will be through the transitory cholera. It is the cholera that has compelled attention to water, air, and cleanliness. Nothing but the visitation of this frightful disease has prevented things going from bad to worse in all that relates to the condition of the poor within the last 34 years. The &runless Review, referring to the French claims on Prussia and their withdrawal in presence of the flat negative of Count Bismarck, says it is premature to specu late upon the consequences of what at present can only be imperfectly understood. The sycophants of the . imperial throne will of course be in ecstasies at the magnanimous policy which recedes from an insolent demand when it is found that the proposed victim is too strong to be robbed with impunity. But there I will be many who will only be able to see in this magnanimity • humiliating defeat—not quite the first, but the most serious which has overtaken the luckiest and, as some think, the deepest schemer in Europe. One thing is quite certain, that the Imperial policy, whatever it may have been, stands rebuked by a superior will, or a superior power, or • superior duplicity. To suppose that, affecting only to represent French opinion, the Emperor • made a demand which be never intended to enforce, ; merely for the pedagogic purpose of teaching his children 3, with ',E4%, SATURDAY i s s i ll i c o ry o f s or the eon, nor .Its aspire to unattainable o ; to do wept to tbs Ihaymees am nion sense. French opinion was in earnsst'in pro moting the demand on Prussia, French opinion will have something to say—and that something may be a very serious utterance—about the result ; which anyhow comes to this—either that the wishes of France have been be trayed by the ruler of France, or that their ruler is not strong enough to enforce them, or not skilful enough to attain them by those arts which have hitherto retained him a place in their confidence. • In an article on reform and its prospects the Saturday Beriew says :—The liberal party is not really ready for office. It wants the two things without which a party in office can never be successful—men and ideas. Mr. Glad , stone is an admirable speaker, and has some of the highest qualities of a statesmen, but he has one fatal defect as the leader of the liberal party—he is not a liberal. When Mr. Gladstone has been named, the liberals have no othe r leaden. They have not even respectable administrators to do them a faint amount of credit. It would be a dread ful abuse of the mere numerical strength of the party to insist that the navy shall again be committed to the Duke of Somerset, the army to Lord Hartington, and India to Lord De Grey. And, short as the liberal party is of men, it is still more deficient in ideas. The three most important political subjects of the day, perhaps, are reform, Ireland, and the efficiency of the public service. On no one of the three have the libe rals anything like a well-seasoned creed or a coherent theory. They are all subjects that need to be thought out, and the liberals have not thought them out. That the conservatives are no forwarder may be true, but that is nothing to the purpose. The liberals are the party of progress, and should know what they want and why they want it. In order to carry reform, the liberals ought to be prepared to show that there are very grievous evils in our present system of government, and that a reform act would tend to remove or mitigate these evils. This is the only satisfactory basis for reform, and it is a basis on which we are convinced reform might be established. • Mr. Eyre, says the Spectator, has published an elaborate defence of himself, in the form of a reply to an address from the Bishop and certain clergy of Jamaica, in which he declares that although dismissed, he "his the consola tion of feeling that there has been nothing in his conduct to merit dismissal, nothing to occasion self-reproach, nothing to regret." As for the killing of Mr. Gordon, "he suffered justly," as the " proximate occasion " of the riots, and his execution was moat beneficial. As to the excesses under martial law, "excesses must always take place under martial law," and as for the time during which that law was allowed to continue, if he had at tempted to shorten it be should have spread consternation among the whites. This is substantially Mr. Eyre's de fence, and on the strength of this defence and others like it, a defence fund of 6,000 f. has been raised for Mr. Eyre, and Southamptonis about togive him a grand banquet—cats of piano-wire beside each plate. One man indeed writes to the Standard to suggest a testimonial, and the Spectator re oommendsa mouu went, the design—Governor Eyreas Jus tice, trampling down negroes, triumphant, undaunted, and blind. Referring to the French claim on Prussia and its with drawal, the Spectator says, Righteousness and Peace have kissed each other in the persons of the Emperor of the French and the King of Prussia. Napoleon demanded of Prussia the restoration of the frontiers of 1814. The King of Prussia, after a long council, attended by one or two general*, replied that Germany could not surrender German territory, whereupon the Emperor received the Prussian Ambassador, and assured him that his Majesty, though considering the " wish" for new frontiers just, had only expressed it in deference to the opinion of France, and promised that good rela tions between the two powers shoud in no case be dis turbed. He hoped, however, that Prussia would not over step the line of the Main. The Emperor has also written to the King of the Belgians, saying he esteems him a great deal too much to take away any of his territory ; so there is a kind of diplomatic millennium, which would be quite nice if anybody could say what it all means. If the Emperor expected refusal, why did he make the demand? If he did not expect it, why does he display so unusally Christian a spirit' It looks very much as if Napoleon bad received assurances which enabled him to endure his apparent loss of prestige with great tranquillity. The bank directors, says the Erwomi at, were quite JUL tifierl in reducing their rate of discount on Thursday last. Such a step would have been wise several weeks since, but then it would have been an experimental policy. The justification for it would have been that the foreign drain of bullion was a drain arising from discredit—aggravated by a high rate of interest and likely to be alleviated by a low rate of interest. But the present reduction is not ex perimental. The foreign exchanges have now been turned notwithstanding the discredit drain. They are now such es to bring gold here and to take it to the Bank. We have shown that we can do without the money we have been lately in the habit of borrowing of foreign nations. We have gone through much to obtain this result, but now at least we have obtained it. • EVE G, AUGUST:: LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ff THE FRENCH DEMANDS. The Paris liberal journals received this day are sin gularly, perhaps significantly, silent on the subject of the interview between the Emperor and Count von Goltz, The Debdts merely copies Reuter's telegram from the London journals, which it does " under entire reservation." The &Me and Temps are totally silent. The Avettir National alludes to the telegram, and appends the following remark : " The English journals could receive no more wel come news : accordingly the Times, the Daily News, and Telegraph hasten to overload the French go vernment for the wisdom and disinterestedness of which it has given proof."

Wombwell had a strange adventure after the recent Danville races. Having missed the train at Trouville, and being very anxious to return to London, the Duke of Hamilton went to the coast to charter a vessel to convey him and his friend to Brighton for the use of which they had offered 1,000 francs. The police, hearing that two strangers were offering fishermen large sums of money to convey them to England, pounced down upon Mr. Wombwell as one of two " welchers" who hut bolted from the race-course with the pools. On the return of the duke a *short explanation set the matter right.—Nortit British Daily Mail. FRANCE AND GERMANY. The Berlin correspondent of the Temps, writing on the 15th, says : The information which I sent you respecting the sup posed conflict between France and Prussia is entirely confirmed. At this moment there does not exist the shadow of a cloud between the two powers and the misunderstanding of a few days past has been explained to the general satisfaction. We bear to-day of an autograph letter from the Emperor to King William, which H. Benedetti has brought from Paris. I shall know this evening if this be true. The King presided over the council to-day. Count Bismarck (who is better) has obtained final and irrevocable sanction for the annexations which he will submit to-morrow or Monday to the Chamber. Hanover, Electoral Hesse, Nassau, and Frankfort will figure in the first batch. These are conquered countries, which will be annexed by the right of war. The Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein and part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse will soon follow. The former will pass to Prussia by the treaty of peace between Austria and Prussia. With regard to the northern part of Hesse its annexation will depend on the negotiations between Bavaria and Hesse. The Grand Duke of Hesse would be indemnified by • slice of Bavaria- You are already aware that Wurtem berg has made haste to get out of the mess. Herr von Warnbuhler signed, the day before yesterday, peace with the King of Prussia by paying on the part of Wurtemberg, 8,000,000 of florins towards the cost of the war. He left immediately for Stattgard, leaving Bavaria and Hesse to compound as best they can with Von Bismarck. The Bavarian plenipotentiaries showed some signs of resistance recently which is attri buted here to " news from Paris," but now they are convinced it was nothing but a ruisunderstanding tbey will yield to force. With regard to Saxony the Prussian conditions are hard, and one can easily under stand how difficult it is for old King John to accept them. It is positively stated that he will abdicate and devote himself to literature. I am just informed that the Prortecial Correvondentz of this evening will contain an important article on the situation and the Emperor Napoleon, in which the strict friendship between the governments of Prussia and France will be energetically affirmed. Prince Louis of Hesse, brother-hr law of the Prince Royal, has left without being able to obtain an audience of the King. The influence of Bis marck is decidedly greater than ever. (REUTERS TELEGRASIS.) AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. PRAGUE, AUGUST 17. The negotiations for peace are proceeding very favourably. The Prussian proposals, which differ very little from the instructions of the Austrian plenipotentiary, were sent to-day to Vienna. The treaty of commerce between Austria and the Zoilverein remains provisionally in force. Further arrangements with regard to this question are reserved for a later period. Peace will, it is expected, be concluded within eight or ten days. FRANCE AND BELGIUM. LIEGE, Acucar 11, EVENING. The Jortnird de Liege publishes the following : —" A correspondent in Paris, who is in a position to be very well informed, writes to us that the Emperor, desirous of putting a stop to the propa gation of plans and projects which are attributed to him by some journalists, has ordered the French Ambassador in London to declare spon taneously and officially to the British government that he never intended to take an inch of Belgian territory."

From the accounts in the Paris papers of the dreadful accident which took place at the Fkes on Wednesday last, it appears that directly after the con clusion of the display of frewurks on the Pont des Invalides, the crowd, which had been standing watching them on both sides of the Seine, began to break up. A large number of persons who were on the left bank of the river, made their way to the Punt de la Concorde in order to cross to the right bank, at the very moment when an equally large number of persons were about to pass in the opposite direction. These two streams met in the middle of the bridge, and despite the utmost efforts of the sergents-de-ville, it soon became im possible to prevent a complete stoppage of all cir culation either way. Every moment, too, fr..tsh arrivals kept pouring in, ignorant of what had taken place, until at last the pressure became so overwhelming that men, women, and children were forced down and trampled upon, some being killed, and a large number severely injured. For a short tune the scene is said to have been one of wild confusion and terror. One woman climbed over the parapet and ran along it in a kind of frenzy which blinded her to the danger she was incurring. When the bridge be came somewhat clear, it was found to be strewn with fragments of clothing which had been literally torn off the backs of the wearers in the desperate struggle that had taken place. The wounded were at once conveyed to the Palace of the Corps Ldgisla tif close at hand, and the dead takento the Morgue. The number of the former is stated to be very large, but no reliable information on the subject has been published. With regard to the latter, the ilvtair National says that an eye-witness counted next day at the Morgue the bodies of eight women and one young man who had been suf focated in the crowd. " While we write," adds the same paper, " thousands of persons controlled by the police agents form a line at the doors of the Morgue, and are waiting their turn to penetrate into the interior and ascertain whether the relative or friend of whom they are in search is among the number of the victims." The Tetnps mentions a rumour according to which the disorder that led to this terrible tragedy was occasioned, or at all events increased, by a gang of pickpockets, who profited by it to rifle the crowd in all directions, and who were arrested in large numbers. An inquiry has been instituted by the government, and meanwhile the Moniker of yesterday contains the following particulars : opened Mayor About ten o'clock last night a deplorable accident cast a gloom over the conclusion of the fete of the 15th August, which notwithstanding the enormous crowd of people from all parts had until then passed off with the utmost order. The fireworks this year were discharged from the Pont dee Invalides on account of the works at the Champs de Man. 1 In anticipation of the accumulation of spectators that I this spectacle would attract to the neighbourhood of the Pont de la Concorde, the sur►eillance of that bridge and of the adjoining quays had been the object of exceptional precautions ; it had been entrusted to Ave peace officers, hawing under their orders a considerable number of agents, Paris guards, and soldiers of the line, and was placed under the special direction of a divi. sional inspector. During the discharge of the fireworks the arrangements were respected, and, notwithstand ing the gnat number of spectators, free circulation even on the pavement of the bridge was maintained. The fireworks over, the crowd on the quays of the left bank advanced across the bridge to the right bank. The circula tion in the opposite direction was studiously prohibited, and the crowd which wanted to pass from the right to the left bank was kept back, or directed towards the other outlets. Bat at about • quarter to 10 this crowd, which bad been constantly in_ creasing, forced back the police and the picket' of soldiers and of mounted guards, which endeavoured to control it. It forced its way upon the bridge and encoun tered the mass which was coming from the left side. In the confusion, t woman fen ; this fall occasioned several others, and the piercing shrieks which were uttered towards the centre of the bridge did not stop the crowd which continued to push on violently from each side. At last a peace officer, followed by • hundred agents and soldiers, succeeded in dividing the crowd and stopping the crush. This movement enabled the mass accumulated on the bridge to separate. Eight persons were picked up ; some were already suffocated, and the rest soon succumbed. R.het _______ o,‘ Plymosty Weymouth Portsmouth. London Yarmouth..
