It took some time for the Allies to take advantage of this defeat. They had to organise their transport and their commissariat, and it was not till June 1806 that they were in a position to commence active operations. Meanwhile LOPEZ had been opening negotiations with General MITRE, President of the Argentine Confederation, to detach him from the alliance, but the dictator's treachery and cruelty pre vented any favourable result, although there was so little cordiality between the Allies that had LOPEZ been a more trustworthy person, it is probable that he would not have wank d friends among those who were now leagued against him. We have no space to narrate all tho subsequent incidents of the war, and those who desire to read them should consult Commander KENNEDY'S book. There were some brilliant feats of arms on both sides, and victory was not always on the side of the biggest battalions. Nevertheless on the whole the allies progressed. Step by step LOPEZ was driven back. One after another the strongholds of Itap:ru, Curupaiti, and llumaita had to be abandoned, and at last the very capital of Paraguay, Asuncion, was reached and found deserted November, 1868, and the war was officially declared to be over. Ilonours were distributed to the vic torious commanders, or rather to such of them as surv:ved, for more than c no bad die .l during the con flict. Tho war, however, was not over. In spite of his cruelty LOPEZ had the power of attaching his followers to him in au extraordinary degree. Their courage mid their fidelity were alike almost super human, and even now in his last extremity he is accompanied by the people whom ho has brought to utter ruin. It seems impossible that he can offer fishier resistance; it seems inevitable that he must shortly surrender at discretion, unless, indeed he And as compared with the mouth ending the sth of Dec., 1868, the above returns show a decrease of £363,505 in the circulation of notes in England, and an increase of £105,946 in the circulation of the United Kingdom.

And yet possibly a few words may be of avail to prevent future mishaps. It cannot be too emphatically asserted that in the event of an alarm of fire in a crowded. building the most dangcrow course of all is to rush out.

FATAL ACCIDIeNT OAT A SCOTCH RAILWAY. A dreadful accident occurred on Tuesday morning on the Great North of Scotland Railway, near Huntley, some forty miles from Aberdeen. The storm of the past week rendered it necessary to keep portions of the line clear by the use of a light snow plough. On Tuesday morning, Mr. Bate me of the inspectors cf way, a driver, and three firemen were employed on two engines with the plough attached at this work. Suddenly, when proceeding along an embankment, the engines sprang, as it were, from the rails over to the opposite sides of the line, dragging tender and plough with them. One of the engines was greatly damaged, being crushed into the tender, while ,the second engine, after rolling over twice, alighted on its wheels, having only sus tained a breakage of the funnel. On assistance coming quickly to hand, Mr. Bate, the driver, and two of the fire men were found to have Leen killed by the accident. The fifth mem escaped with some slight bruises. The cause of the calamity is, as yet, unknown. The rails have been uscertained to be perfectly sound, and the traffic has been continued without interruption. THE VULPIAN OUTRAGES IN KILKENNY. A dispute, local in its character, but acquiring great interest from the extraordinary weapons resorted to by one of the parties, has been the subject of discussion at a numerously attended meeting of the Kilkenny Hunt Club. The dispute appears to have originated in some private quarrel between Mr. Blereclyth, the master of the hounds, and Mr. Bryan, M .P. for the county, and to have e dminated in a demand by some of the members for the resignation of Mr. Meredyth. The great majority of the club have steadily and warmly supported Mr. Meredyth, and have refused to entertain the suggestion that he should resign. Mr. Bryan openly expressed his dissatisfaction, and declined to allow his coverts to be drawn. This was followed by threats on the part of sympathisers that "there should be no more hunting until 'Squire Bryan was satisfied," and these threats have been fully carried out. Two hounds were poisoned towards the close of last season, and sixteen more have shared a similar fate since the present season commenced. The coverts were poisoned in the first instance, and when measures were taken to pre vent that, the public roads were strewed with poisoned meat. In addition, two coverts have been burnt, and others, set on fire with the same object, were only saved by the exertions of the neighbouring farmers, who, it is said, are as a body favourable to the continuance of the hunting, and are in no way responsible for the outrages. These, it is said, are the work of persons hired for the purpose, The result of all these outrages was that Mr. Meredyth thought it advisable to suspend hunting, and to convene the meeting which was held on Tuesday. The attendance was very largo, and included the Marquis of Ormond°, the Marquis of Waterford, the Earl of Bessborough, and Mr. Kavanagh, M.P. Mr. Meredyth, the Master of the Hunt, related the circumstances which had led to the calling of the meeting, and added that he had held a conversation with a Mr. George Reade on the sub ject of the recent outrages, and that Mr. Reade had told him that if he would give up the mastership the annoy ance would cease. On asking Mr. Reade if he was autho rised to make that proposal, the reply was that he was " partly authorised." Resolutions were adopted rejecting all proposals for negotiation on any such basis as that proposed by Mr. Reade, and expressing the utmost confidence in Mr. Meredyth. The committee of the club were also empowered to sell the hounds if no satisfactory arrangement could be come to. Many of the members expressed their regret that a necessity should arise for discontinuing the hunt, as such a result would tend to increase absenteeism, already so much complained of by the people. A. correspondent of the Oldham Chronicle writes : -` On Sunday last the congregation of one of the Esta blished Churches in Oldham was edified by the preaching of a curate who held forth that the working classes had no business to be educated. If they could read the Bible sufficiently to follow their clergyman, it was enough; to dive into the higher branches of knowledge was positively hurtful to them." The Very Rev. Canon Browne, St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, Cork, has been donouncing Fenianism from the altar. While preaching on Sunday from the text—" Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to men of good-will," he called upon the congre gation to pray for drunkards, and for "those unfortunate young men" who, in spite of the warnings of their bishops, had stupidly clung to that confederacy which was bring ing terror, misery, and discredit on the country. ADULTERATED MILK.—The statistic 4 of agricul ture shew that the number of cows in the United States is not sufficient to furnish a sufficient supply of milk, and hence it is argued that adulteration by water n very common. At a recent meeting of the Milk Producers' Association of Massachusetts, it was asserted that there were in the State about 150,000 cows, yielding on an average four quarts of milk a day, or in the aggregate 600,000 quarts. Of this quantity two-thirds are used in making butter and cheese, so that only 200,000 quarts a day are available for domestic consumption. A VALUABLE HINT TO DUELLISTS.—A story is told which may he commended to Parisian gentlemen as containing a valuable hint. Two Americans were dining with two ladies at an hotel in Baden Baden. A Russian prince, who wished to pick a quarrel with them, purchased two bouquets, and sent them to the American ladies with his compliments. The Americans glanced pleasantly at the Russian, and sent him by the waiter who brought the flowers, two napoleons. The offender was, it is added, so chagrined that he left the room. It is thus shewn that people who have abandoned duelling may be by no means so defenceless against personal affronts as might be sup posed. GOING TO WORK OIL TO STARVE ! IMPOSSII3LE. A day or two ago a tramp went into a pastrycook's shop at Bridport, and in the presence of the mistress of the esta blishment, walked off with a plum cake. Before th• magistrates this was his defence :—" Pm not going to starve in a Christian land, it isn't likely I am. If a man goes to the union he has given him about five ounces of bread and a little water gruel. I ask you, gentlemen if that is enough to support a hearty man? It is not enough for a child. And besides a man is stowed away in filth and dirt like a beast. I would prefer to spend the remainder of my days in transportation; or I would rather suffer death than submit to it." The magistrates : " Why don't you try to get work; you are healthy and strong?" Prisoner (indignantly): "Work ! If a poor man manages to earn Os. or 10s. a week in the summer time, he is expected to keep himself all the year through, when we well know that some individuals spend more than that in a day." SENSATIONS FOR THE. DEAD SEAsow.--An even ing contemporary remarks that the efforts of the American journals to get up sensations during the "dead season" which has lately closed have hardly been so successful as usual. A mastodon twenty feet high and sixteen feet long in Illinois, a wild man and a petrified giant in Onondaga, New York, which turns out to have been made of gypsum rather bunglingly by an ambitious sculptor, have failed to enliven their columns. At the last moment, however, the Californian papers have come to the rescue with an account of the discovery of the skeleton of . a horned monster, twenty feet long, its skull weighing five hundred pounds, which has transmitted intelligence of its dietary habits by preserving around it forty or fifty human skulls. It has not been yet reported whether this interesting creature and its skulls have turned to gypsum or not. Perhaps it will imitate the wild man who was found in Stenhen county, and who, according to a paper published in that quarter, " climbed into a tall sycamore, pulled the tree up after him, and that was the last that anybody saw of him." THE SUSPECTED MURDER IN SUSSEX.-It 19 now thought that the man who was found in a ditch at Cnckfield, and is supposed to have been murdered, had before his death been concerned in an extensive robbery of jewellery at Croydon. Superintendent Pocock (of Cuck field) has been to Twickenham, and was told by the land lord of the Coach and Horses that the deceased left his house on the 26th of last month, saying he was going to Croydon, and thence to Brighton, as he had property in that town. Ho gave the name of E. J. Williams. A super intendent of police at Hammersmith is of opinion that the man's name was James Greenhead, and not Williams, and that he was connected with suspicious persons. The Croydon police on Tuesday identified the photograph of the deceased as that of Greenhead, who was well known to them, and is suspected of having committed a burglary on the 30th September at the shop of Mr. Harland, jeweller, of Northend, Croydon, on which occasion tho thieves carried off about ;WOO worth of jewellery. A reward was offered for the arrest of the offenders, and the only clue that was obtained of the robbery was that a tradesman had purchased some rings from a man named Greenhead, an d t h ese p r oved to be part of th e s t o l en pro perty. Greenhead disappeared. On Tuesday, however, a bricklayer, named Rowland, was arrested on a charge of being concerned in the robbery, a quantity of jewellerybeing found in his possession, and one of the officers said to him, " Where are the letters you received from Williams ? " The prisoner denied having received any, but, on being asked how long it was since he saw Williams, he said, " It is not Williams—it is Greenhead you mean. He did the burglary ; I did not." Tho prisoner has been brought before the bench of magistrates at Croydon, and, after some formal evidence be was remanded, The Tinzes observes that the Verification of Powers in the French Legislative Body is now at an.end. With the vote on the last contested election, on Monday afternoon, the Extraordinary Session was formally closed, and the Official Journal of Tuesday announced the resign-It - ion of the Dc Forcade Ministry, with the addition that the Emperor Lad charged M. Emile 011ivier with the formation of a new Cabinet. The future Premier is to designate the 'persons who may constitute a homo geneous Administration, " faithfully representing the majority of the Legislative Body," and to carry cut the Scnatus Consultum of the Bth of Eeptcmber "as well in the letter as in the spirit." No names cf the probable colleagues of M. 011ivier are positively mentioned, but it ii generally undoistocd that they belong to the "night- Centre "—that strong party whose members do not pre some to be citl er more or less liberal than the Emperor himself. By sanctioning such elections as those of MM. Cement Duvernois and Campaigns, the new Premier and tl.e mon who are to form his Cabinet evinced a readiness to compromise with principle which augurs ill for the centitutienal system they were expected to usher in. Before he gratui tously made himself a partaker of M. do Forcade's worst deeds, M. Emile 01liver should have considered that he was not, like his predecessor, screened by his master's authority, and that the responsibility not only of his own vote, but of that of the majority he had undertaken to guide, rested upon him alone. By separating his vote f:om that of the Opposition in such a case, M. 011ivier has actually gone over to Imperialism, and, as the phrase is, " burnt his ships bebindhim." It is difficult toconceivehow a man who votes for practices of that nature can be trusted to propose a reform in the Electoral Law which might render such practices impossible. Yet without electoral reforms and a new election based upon sounder principles, what becomes of the new era heralded in by the July Manifesto ? What becomes of the participation in the Government to which the people have been invited? It was as the initiator of a fair and upright rule that M. 011ivier was hailed on his accession to office. If all that was wanted had been merely a policy of expediency, and a readiness to lend to absolutism the mask of a popular representation, the purpose might have been answered by the happy audacity of M. Rouher or the defiant unscrupu lousness of M. de Forcade la Roquette. Our columns on the last two days, says the Daily Noes, have presented to our readers a vivid practical illustration of the tragic contrasts of whichhuman life is full. On Mon day we had to record side by side with notices of the festive 'gatherings of Christmas Day a frightful calamity which had befallen one happy family group, by which the mother, four of her children, and a little visitor who was keeping Christmas with them were burned to death. On Tuesday the usual accounts of the great gatherings for entertainment which take place on " Boxing Night," were immediately followed by an account of the terrible calamity to which the crowding at the doors of a theatre had led in the city of Bristol. Such a catastrophe, even more than the one which happened on Christmas Day, brings out with terrible force the near ness to each other of the two sides of the world's anti thesis—feasting and mourning, laughter and tears. Boxing Day is perhaps the greatest working-class holiday of the year. This calamity is only another illustration of the danger which lurks under great popular gatherings and festivities. Wherever great crowds of people assemble there is always the possibility of panic. But this par ticular accident differs from most others of the kind in its apparently more accidental character. This appears to be exactly how the accident really happened. A woman's dress was trodden on behind ; she fell ; her fall deprived all those round her of the support she had given them, and they necessarily yielded to the pressure and fell over. The rest followed as a matter of course. The eager crowd pressed blindly on from behind ; resistance was useleSs, and the mass surged over and around the fallen mass, crushing to death the unfortunate persons who composed it. Ncr does it seem possible to guard against such calamities so long as our English indi viduality makes a crowd an unorganised mass in which every man obeys only his own impulse to get forward, and so long as we fail to learn the civilised art of standing en queue. Tho Standard declares that a shipwreck, a railway acci dent, a mine explosion, violent and sudden destruction of life in any form, is terrible, but death never wears so fearful an aspect as when it breaks upon the anticipation or enjoyment of pleasure. The Holbein Dance, always ghastly, is ghastliest at a masquerade, at a ball, at a revel or jubilee, where if at any time, the grim presence, for ever near humanity, no matter in what mood, might naturally be forgotten. It is this which renders so peculiarly ap palling the tragedy reported, on Boxing-day, from Bristol. Yet it will scarcely be denied, numerous as have been the recent examples of similar misfortune that, if not invari ably, nearly so, the discovery has been made upon inves tigation that our older theatres,especially in the provinces, were not constructed to bear an extra strain. It is a point of rivalry among the architects of the present day to provide for the quickest and safest possible filling and emptying of any building intended to hold large numbers, whether to meet an extracrdinary demand or an alarm. No theatre constructed on the Continent within the last thirty years offers, so to sseak, such opportunities of danger; and at no continental theatre is the mob waiting for admission so unmanageable. In fact, the Bristol calamity would have been next to im possible in Paris, no matter how eager the desire of the populace for admission might be. Conceding, therefore, that we must expect a fatality now and then, and that it may overtake the best intended arrangements, we cannot but believe that a good deal of that which we have too often to deplore is owing to some perversity of practice capable of being put aside. The Telegraph does not assume that serious resistance to the new Bishop of Exeter has entirely died out. In ono sense the controversy respecting Dr. Temple's appoint ment is closed by the final act of installation; but, on the other hand, the circumstances of his appointment will subject him to inevitable criticism and observation, which he ought not, and probably does not, wish to decline. In plain words, he will be more watched than other bishops. His episcopal conduct will be tried more strictly. But a severe trial is often a glorious opportunity, and the Bishop of Exeter's past career justifies a trust that he will vindicate his fitness for the charge committed to him. He has great mental vigour, varied intellectual accomplishments, and, above all, a practical acquaintance with human wants and interests. To be "a man of the world," means generally to be a man who cares only for worldly prosperity ; but there is a sense in which the phrase may be used to indi cate one prime requisite for the episcopal office; and it is in that sense that St, Paul was a man of the world. He had the " care of all the Churches ;" he could be all "things to all men;" he had the aptitude for business, the rapid insight into human character, the promptness of action, the power to sustain fatigue, which were essential to his mission. A la rge measure of such gifts is required, not only for the supervision of such an immense diocese as that which comprehends the two most westerly counties of England, but for the renewed movement of life within the National Church. During his residence at Rugby, Dr. Temple has shewn, as ho has also shown since, that he enjoys in a full measure those intellectual qualities which beget confidence in a public man. Ho is endowed with a keen and profound insight into the motives and desires of his fellows; he possesses a genuine sympathy with all the great movements of social and reli gious thought, which are every day moro irresistibly ins pressing on the future its form and destiny; while he has eminently displayed the talent of gentle, conciliatory, and yet resolute command over those whose duties it is his business to regulate. These qualities are as valuable in 3 gliccese as in a school ; and nowhere are they more conspicuously required than in the long-neglected diocese of Exeter. The Herald, in discussing the value of anmsthetics, re marks that the prevention of pain is an objeot worthy of the highest genius and mostpractical philosophy. Physical pain has its use, but there are cases in which it may pro perly be dispensed with, if the means of doing so can he commanded. Ordinarily, pain acts as a kind of danger signal, which, though it may startle, is intended to preserve. But under the surgeon's knife Pa in ma y be said to place life in peril rather than to pro' tect it. The question remains whether we are real in the . position to comman d a release from Pa in' Thousands of cases seem to prove that we are. A f°vr instances to the contrary serve to raise a doubt in some minds. But professional testimony shows that snore lives have been saved by chloroform than have been sacrifice d by it. M any a patient would have' sunk and died, either under the knife of the operator or fr° ra exhaustion following on extreme pain, but for the nor' cifel introduction of chloroform. Accordingly, the occurrence of a few deaths may still leave a balan ce .if life in f avour o f the amesthetic, to say no thing of the grea t su bt rac ti on from the sum to t a l human agony.
