Whether on Geological and other Scientific questions or Biblical Criticism, or on the subjects assailed by the stump and revolutionary oratory of the mere atheistical and blaspheming demagogue, and by which many of the humbler classes are so much misled, and that the Colensos, Iconoclasts, and other enemies without, or heretics claiming a position within the Church, will be met with direct and vigorous refutation. We are promised a special set of strictly Scientific Articles on Geology, Natural History and Astronomy, &c., in refutation of scientific error in connection with Theology, and also on questions raised by Dr. Colenso and others, which have not yet received competent answer.

Now Published, A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANCES AT MILAN, FLORENCE, NAPLES, POMPEII, AND VENICE. BY WILLIAM EVILL. STANFORD, Charing Cross. Price 4s. 6d " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of A Winter Journey to Rome.' His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, showing much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketchy, it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council, which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."— Daily Telegraph. "Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited the spots described by Mr. Evill, are scarcely likely to add much to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches ; yet we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To gain knowledge is not the only object which induces a man or woman to take ap a new volume ; and if Mr. Evill does not add distinctly to our stock, he has the art—a rare one—of placing familiar scenes in a fresh and agreeable light. book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall Gazette. " Raving read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, any more than we could spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func tions in Rome, and of Rib marvellous masterpieces in sculpture and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, he has acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun. " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the picturesque, and describes what he saw in forcible and some times eloquent language. . . . Notwithstanding his well worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News. " There is no pretension whatever about the book of travels, and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing that is uninteresting, vapid, or dull. To the truthfulness of its descriptions of places and works of art we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy:"—Bell's Weekly Messenger. " Mr. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable him to.witness the great gathering of prelates in attendance at the opening of the (Ecumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record. "•In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker might extend into the compass of two goodly volumes. . . . . In the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. "The ground was all new to Mr. Evill, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . . . . Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western Morning News. " Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery described, and be grateful to Mr. Evill for his pleasant recollec tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News. " Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English women whom necessity keeps at home year after year . . . The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heartily wish it every success, and think that many untravelled Englishmen will find something to interest them in Mr. Evill's " Winter Journey, to Rome."—The Examiner. - - - - - - " This little volume, containing, together with careful descrip tions of places and cities, an account of the opening of the CEcumenical Council, it is worthy of notice, is dedicated, not in irony or without permission, but in friendship and with full authority, by a Protestant to a Roman Catholic. There may be many worse preparations for a visit to the city which still is queenlike, if no longer queen, than a perusal of this unpreten tious, but instructive volume ; and the author's remarks touching that Church, the services and worship of which serve to make up the entire life of modern Rome may grieve, but will not affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command the assent, but will not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant." — Illustrated London News. 111 HE NATURALISTS' CALENDAR : a Register I. of Periodic Natural Phenomena, referring to more than a thousand native and cultivated plants, native insects, native and domesticated mammals, native and domesticated birds and birds of passage, and giving the mean times of appearance of insects, the periods of birds in respect of song, migration, &c. ; the time of hybernation and first appearance of reptiles and mollusks ; the time of leafing, flowering, and fruiting of trees and other plants, &c., ke.

GPNTLEMEN,—I present myself as a Candidate for Election to the London School Board as one of -the Representatives of Marylebone. I have incessantly. and actively advocated a system of National Unsectarian Education. For twenty years I have studied the wants, the claims, the rights of the people ; and have all that time been in the habit of expres sing my opinions, 'a public journalist, on the questions which have arisen affecting their moral and material well-being. I have been led to believe that my humble services to the pub lic cause will recommend me to the place of konour I seek at the new Education Council. I represent no sect, no party, no clique, and am not specially supported by any organisation. I base my candidature broadly on my known participation in the political progresses of the last twenty years, of which the Elementary Education Bill of 1870 is the most important. Trusting to be favoured with your support on the day of election, I remain, Gentlemen, Yours, faithfully, BLANCHARD JERROLD. Reform Club, Oct. 17th 1870. SPORTING INTELLI GENCI4I, THE LIVERPOOL CUP DAY. The racing at Liverpool on Friday concluded a most successful meeting. For the cup, which was the feature of the day, there were seventeen starters, the favourites being Rosicrucian and Blandford. The lot got fairly away, and after running a mile, Indian Ocean drew up, and, depriving Syrian of the lead, went on with the running, Ploughboy being third, with Flibustier, and Miss Hrvine nett. On entering the straight, Indian Ocean increased his lead, and Exciseman at the sometime joined Syrian. On nearing the distance Sy, ian was beaten, and Exciseman, collaring Indian Ocean immediately after wards, shook him off with scarcely an effort, and ran in an easy winner by two lengths ; Rosicrucian was third, a neck behind him , Indian Ocean, and a similar distance in ad- , .vance of Barford. Blandford was nowhere. The success of Exciseman was welcomed with the greatest enthusiasm by the northern division, and the victory was equally popular with the general public, who cheered most tustily as the horse returned to weigh in. Little Gray rode him splendidly, and there is no question that he is one of the most accomplished light weights we have. Exciseman was one - of the first backed when the weights were made public at Newmarket, but singularly enough he was left out of the fourteen taken against the field for £250 by a strong adherent of the Tupgill stable, who took Good Hope in his stead. The public generally are good winners by the result, for not only did they win by the success of Exciseman, but Rosicrucian was also heavily supported for a place. Exciseman was bred by Mr. W. Hudson, of Brigham, Lincolnshire, the well known breeder of blood stock, and is an own brother to Coast Guard, a once popular Derby favourite. When a yearling, Exciseman was sold to Mr. Jardine for'4oo guineas. The Bentinck Archer Handicap was won by the favourite, Emerald, the small field being compensated for by au exciting finish, in which Mr. Bevill's fine riding was displayed to advantage. The other races came off thus :—Hurdie Handicap, Kelvin Grove ; Free Nursery Handicap, Herod ; Plate of 50 Sovereigns, Mocking Bird ; and Whitefield Nursery Handicap, Athol Daisy.

Miss Maitland will be the lessee of the Opera Comique at the conclusion of the French campaign. The style of entertainment is to be burlesque, farce, and comedy. The candidates for the editorship of the Morning Advertiser numbered eighty. The list has now been re duced to a leet of five, in which are included Mr. Horace Mayhew, Mr. Walter Wood, of the Standard, Mr. Cameron, war correspondent of the North British Daily Mail, Mr. Barnett, and a sub-editor of one of the Glasgow dailies. It is understood that the last men tioned gentleman has a very good chance of the ap pointment. Mr. John Clarke is engaged at the Olymyic Theatre, and will appear as Quilp in Mr. Andrew Halliday's drama of "Nell, or the Old Curiosity Shop," on Saturday next, the 19th inst. The comedy of -the Two Roses," at the Vaudeville Theatre, has nwo reached its 140th night of representa tion, and yet Londoners patronise it as much as t he y did 'fifteen weeks since. On Thursday Mr. Bur nand's new historical burlesque, entitled " Elizabeth." will replace "Don Carlos." A young actress of considerable personal attrActions—Miss Hetty Tracey—will make her first ap pearanCe. The Athencewn says :—Mr. F. H. Cowen's new cantata, " The Rose Maiden, ' will be produced in the course of this month at the St. James's Hall.—The Princess Louise, with the express consent of her Majesty the Queen, has accepted the dedication of Mr. Robert Buchanan's work on the Highlands, and the book will appear immediately, under the title of " Hebrides and the Land of L orne."— Mr. Planche is writing a poem on the Siege of Calais by Edward lII.—In addition to t he Knight Commandership of the order of Charles 111. of Spain conferred upon our correspondent, Mi.

There is a shop on one of the Paris boulevards wla re cats and dogs are exposed for sale, adorned with wreaths. The Mobiles buy a gocd many of them for dinner. THE REviSEHs OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.—The Revisers of the New Testament Company have just finished their fourth session. We are assured that the interest in the work is increasing with each meeting, and the progress such that there is now every reason to believe it will be completed within a reasonable time. There is, however, a clear intention on the part of the Revisers to do their work thoroughly, and to subject it when done to a careful reconsideration. No attention therefore ought to be paid to reports of what they may have been understood to have been decided on. Nothing will be really settled till the second and final revision. The attendance of members is good, there having been twenty two members present on most of the days. The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol presided. The Archbishop of Canterbury paid a visit to the Company on Friday. PERSONIFYING Mn. ROEBUCK. --- M. Cl6ment Laurier, who came to London to c onclude the ten million loan on behalf of the Tours Government, met with an odd adventure, which he describes in a letter to a French paper. He narrowly escaped being swindled by some person Tit ho offered to supply arms, and who pretended to be Mr. Roebuck, " the member of Parliament," as M. Laurier mistakenly calls him. M. Laurier says :" I must inform you that a Frenchman in London, unknown to us, came to us one day to request an inter view on the part of Mr. Roebuck, member of Parliament. We knew Mr. Roebuck by name as a politician and orator of great talent. To pay him greater attention, Count Germiny and I went to the Westminster Palace Hotel s where he resided in sumptuous apartments. We were received by the pretended Mr. Roebuck, and by a strange baroness who served as his interpreter. It was no question of a loan but of arms, to 'which we replied that we must refer to the Government. But our opinion had already been formed. On leaving they offered to take Treasury bonds at three months on 6 per cent. interest, and 2 per cent. commission. Not a word was said about a loan, and we took leave, vowing that we would not be taken in again. We learned afterwards that the Mr. Roebuck we had seen was not the member of Parliament, but a man of the same name who represented himself as such. After that we declined to see him. Therefore I confess that I was erroneously led to visit a false Mr. Roebuck, but at the same time I declare that I never wished to have any • thing to do with any Mr. Roebuck, true or false." PEACE.—The representative of a German paper has made a journey,into the Vosges district in order to ascertain the feeling of the people in that region. He says :—" The people are greatly rejoicing at the idea •of an impending armistice ; in fact, the date of its com mencement and termination are distinctly stated, and I should never forgive myself for being absent from the triumphal entry into Paris. Indeed, even to-day the angel of peace is spreading the rumour of peace through the cold winte r ' s air. The hoar frost now lying upon fields and meadows speaks of peace and quietude ; the sere and yellow leaf, chased by the wind o'er path and road ; the flames which devour the damp wood in the stove or bivouac fire — e ver y thin g seems to whisper of peace. Upon the graves of the beloved dead the leaves of the flowers and the twigs of the shrubs which had been planted as last tributes of affection by the hands of their comrades are now withered and gone. The snow will soon cover these graves as with a winding-sheet, and hide the traces of the footsteps of our victorious armies. The warrior 1 who up to the present time ha s onl y thou g ht of the glory and brilliant reputation of his proud flag and of his fatherland feels himself occupied with sentimental ideas, and fancies in his day dreams that he is once more seated by. his own warm and cosy fireside, seeing in his mind's eye his children on Christmas Eve around the Christmas tree, and he seems to hear their little, childish voices calling ' Father !' and regrets that such joy and pleasure disappear before the stern reality. Everyone and every thing seems Wslesire peace, and now, in spite of all, they eagerly demand it in Paris, the more so as the last bul wark has fallen upon which so many delusive hopes were centred." SPORTING NOTES. The Shrewsbury Autumn Meeting, one of the most im portant of the season, will commence to-day (Monday) and end on Friday next. There has been published a highly attractive list. The completed items in to-day's card are the Carnival Nursery, the Cleveland Handicap, Wynnstay Welter Cup, and the Autumn Steeple chase. In the Carnival Nursery (one mile) fifteen two-year-olds have accepted, and the weights range from Sauntress, Bst 121 b, to Headingley, 6 st 71 b. the winner will probably turn up in Inquisition or the Claymore's dam filly. There are sixty-six nominations for the Cleveland Handicap (above five furlongs), Oxonion and Knutsford are the best pair to trust. A capital entry has been secured for the Wynnstay Welter Cup (six furlongs), thirty-six horses having been handi capped therein; Historian and Tim Weaver may attract the notice of the judge. Seventeen horses have accepted for the Autumn Steeplechase (three miles and a half), but Holman's pair—David Coppezfield and Brick —have only Punishment to fear. On Tuesday, six out of the nine races in the list have closed with lengthy eutriss. The Shobdon Cup (about five furlongs) has attracted a brilliant array of names, we most esteem the chances of Cymbal and Oxonian, between whom it must be a close race, judging by their Liverpool positions. For the Tan kerville Nursury (five furlongs) seventy one horses have been handicapped. Gascoigne and Conspirator ar.: parti cularly well treated, and the better of the pair may win, if it can beat Pitteri. The Battlefield Handicap (six furlongs) may be taken by King of Clubs or Badsworth ; the Two-year-old Plate (four furlongs) by Bide-a-Wee or Ainsty ; the Foregate Stakes (four fur longs) by Australia ; and the Salopian Hurdle Race (two miles and a quarter) to which there are thirty-seven entries, by Ampleforth or Marshal Ney. On Wednesday, in the Shrewsbury Cup (one mile and three-quarters) thirty-one horses have accepted, and Sornette, Bst. 121 b., figures at the head 'of the list. Neither Free Trade nor Lord Hawthorn have, however, run this week at Liver pool, and, therefore, in the better of this pair the winner is likely to be found. In the Monkmoor Handicap (four furlongs) Mayoress and Our Tom have not been over weighted ; neither have Mahomet nor Ileadingley in the Coldecot Nursery (four furlongs).—Field. The Sporting Gazette says that all Mr. Morris's horses, together with a great many others trained at Danebury, will be sold, without reserve, at Tattersall's, on the 28th inst.—Captain Mitchell bought Magnum Bonum before the Sefton Steeplechase on Wednesday, and the following day purchased Keystone, the winner of that race. The latter's price is said to be 500 guineas.—There is no foun dation whatever for the statements that have appeared relative to Mr. Chaplin's resignation of the matership of the Burton country.—A pack of hounds is in course of forniation for Derbyshire. The subscription list is headed by the Duke of Devonshire with 225. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE The Untied Service Gazette says : —" It is rumoured in professional circles that - great pressure is being put upon the First Lord of the Admiralty to suppress certain por tions of the " Minute" he has prepared relative to the loss of the Captain, and we have some reason for believing that such is really the case, and that great differences of opinion of a serious nature exist on the subject between the first Lord and the Controller of the Navy. The Navy—in fact the whole country—are waiting for a full and truthful account of this lamentable loss; and the blame—for blame there is— must be brought home to the guilty parties, be they who they may, and we have little fear but that Mr. Childers will be true to his trust.—Their Lordships have sanctioned the payment of the balance of the contract money for the building of her Majesty's late ship Captain to the contractors, the Messrs. Laird brothers, of Birkenhead.—lt is understood that the system of attaching the depots of regiments abroad to regiments at home is not giving satisfaction. It has, therefore, been under consideration to revive the lately disbanded depot battalions ; but this as well as many other important subjects, awaits Mr. Cardwell's decision. The Army and Navy Gazette says -Lieutenant-General the Hon. James Lindsay, who has just returned to Eng land from special duty in Canada, does not return to the War Office. The Rev. R. L. M`Ghee, M.A., who has been for some years senior chaplain at Dublin, is to be removed to Canterbury, and will be replaced in Dublin by the Rev. J. Y. Barton. A rumour has been current of late that Captain Sherard Osborn, R.N., C. 8., is about to retire from active service. We have reason to believe that the gallant officer has, of himself, taken no steps in the matter, although when the time arrives for him to be entitled to retire, under Mr. Childer's new scheme, he will probably bow to his fate, but not until then. The Broad Arrow says :—The Right Hon. Lord Napier of Magdala has signified his intention of giving a " Com mander-in-Chief's Prize," consisting of a cup, value 2100, to be competed for by the British troops stationed in the Bengal Presidency who are qualified by musketry in struction.—The Irish Militia will not be called out for training during the ensuing year.—The Calcutta Volunteer Corps already numbers close on 500 men, and it is consi dered certain that by the time the cold weather sets in Colonel Walton will !find himself at the head of a regiment 600 strong.—The armour-plated ship Defence is ordered to remain on the coasts between Civita Vecchia and Naples. Prince Christian dined with the benchers of the Inner Temple on Thursday evening. Baron Channell is to open the suit of the petition against Mr. Douglas Straight, at Shrewsbury, on the sth' of December, and Mr. Justice Keating that against Mr. Gwynne Holford after Christmas. At Sandringham it is believed that her Majesty will pay a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales at their Norfolk residence this autumn. The Queen has not yet- visited Sandringham. Sir Henry Barkly, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, has been appointed her Majesty's High Commis sioner for adjusting the affairs of the territories adjacent to the eastern frontier of the colony. The vicarage of St. Michael's, Coventry, which becomes vacant by the acceptance of the Madagascar bishopric by Mr. Baynes, is worth £4OO a year. It is in the gift of Mr. Gladstone, on the part of the Crown. A concert is to be given at St. James's Hall on the 24th instant, under royal and distinguished patronage, for the benefit of female refugees of France, irrespective of nationality. ST. PETER'S COLLEGE, RADLEY—The Warden ship of St. Peter's College, Radley, has been filled by the selection of the Rev. Charles Martin, M.A., an assistant master at Harrow, and one of the select preachers before the University of Oxford. Mr. Martin was educated at Winchester, from which school he gained a scholarship at New College, Oxford. He obtained a second class in Moderations and the Stanhope Essay Prize, and a first class in the Final Classical School in 1863. In 1864 he was elected a Senior Student of Christ Church, and was appointed a tutor. He quitted his tutorship in 1869 on his marriage with a daughter of the present Bishop of Salisbury. S NI DERS FOR MADRAS.—The Bangalore Herald announces that " seventy-six cases of Snider rifles (1520) have been sent out from England, for the use of the Madras army, per Mooltan, and were, at the time of the departure of the mail, waiting clearance in the Madras Custom-house. We believe the 60th Rifles at Bellary will get them, also the 2nd battalion 10th and 2nd battalion 24th at Secunderabad, as well as the 2nd battalion 21st and 76th in Burmah. The Ist batta lion 21st and 45th Regiments are the only regiments in this Presidency who are armed with the Snider. As Snider ammunition costs seven rupees per hundred, whilst the Enfield with caps costs about two rupees, the difference to the Madras Government will be something very con siderable on the wrong side of the ledger. What will Lord Mayo now think of his retrenchment policy ? In one item alone the bill has already trebled itself." THE WEEKLY PRESS RUSSIA AND FRANCE, The Saturday Review says it is remarkab!3 that the Russian press,' notwithstanding the ostentation., friendship of the Imperial Court for Prussia, almost unanimously , expresses-regret for the French defeats, and apprehension • for the consequences of the union and aggrandisethent of Germany. The general appreciation of the change in the balance of power is so far justified that Germany has the power to injure Russia more seriously than any distant Power. If an attack on Russia were thought desirable, the supposed grievances of the German population in the Baltic provinces would afford both a pretext for quarrel and an opportunity of inflicting serious in j ury. Another and more chimerical danger is apprehended from the possible interfe rence of G ermany on behalf of l'oland. It is certain that the well-Bounded disaffection of•the Poles is a source of weak ness to Russia, and that any enemy who wished to inflict a deadly blow on the Empire wouid incite and support a Polish insurrection ; but the restoration of ancient Poland would be as unpalatable to Prussia 218 to Russia; and ca all former occasions the rulers of Posen have in every way facilitated the suppression of disturbances in the adjacent Russian possessions. It it said that the Turkish Government acted on the opposite assumption of a com munity of interest between _Russia and Germany ; but the supposed application of the Porte to the. European Powers for aid to France must for the present be regarded as apocryphal. There is no remora to expect that after the conclusion of the war there will be any disposition on the part of Germany to quarrel with Russia ; but, on the orher hand, the Russian Government canna resume the prosecution of its designs upon Turkey until it has secufed German aid or connivance. With the exception of Austria on one side, and of England on the other, the neutral Powers are neither deeply interested in the result of the war nor comparatively indifferent to the increase of Ger man power ; but the balance of European sympathy at present inclines to France. THE NEUTRAL MINISTRY AT GUILDHALL. The Spectator says that nothing could be more severely neutral than the speeches of Ministers at the Mansion House on Wednesday. A neutral Ministry has difficulties of its own to fight with. It takes strength to be really neutral, perhaps at least as much strength as it does to take a side. A neutral Ministry must expect less loud support than a Ministry which takes sides. It is attacked by three dissatisfied sets of critics, those who would like action on one side; those who would like action on the other side, and those who would like action against both sides / active interference to restore peace. In the mean time, those who sincerely approve of real neutrality as regards our national action, very naturally do not often find their own minds perfectly neutral, so that their expres sions and opinions tend to stimulate feelings on which their exponents have no wish to see the country act. On the whole, we believe, that with the scrupulous and perhaps almost pedantic neutrality of the Government, the nation has good reason to be heartily satisfied. For our own parts, we should prefer a little leas timidity and a little more self-confidence. We should wish to see the Government expressing boldly its dislike' to any proposal for transferring populations from one government to another without their own consent, on those grounds of general European policy the importance of which every year has rendered more conspicuous. We should like to see less trepidation in me diation, where mediation is possible. But nothing is more difficult than to adhere steadily to a neutral policy ; . and if it be not always the noblest and highest policy, it is in all difficult cases by far the most prudent, and by the leaSt liable to degenerate into one of passion and menace. The Government are supporting with great credit to themselves a line of policy in which at least can be quite consistent and quite clear. Popular Govern ments of complex States, moved, as they are, by all sorts of conflicting interests, can rarely do better. They may aim at a higher policy, but they will be too likely a hit a lower. COUNT BISMARCK'S MEANING. The Economist cannot doubt that Paris will be taken, but cannot doubt either that the loss of life necessary to take it will be great, and the loss by disease before its capture still greater. The German army is the German nation, and accordingly a great loss of life there is a loss of the elements from whom it gains most in the present and hopes most in the future. All this Count Bismarck must see and know. Nor do we believe that he is imposed on by the cry for new securities to Germany or the cry for the annexation of Teutons as Teutons. He knows that now Germany is united she wants no security against France ; that it is only in alliance with part of Germany that France has ever invaded Germany i • that there are capital fortresses in Germany already ; that any number could be built for money : that a month's conti nuance of the war costs lives more valuable to Germany almost than any sum of money. II e knows, too, that the annexation of districts because they used to speak good German and now speak bad German will not strengthen Germany, while those provinces are used to being French and long to be French. • That Count Bismarck must want peace we believe, if only he knew how to get it. Why, if he did want it, he did not agree to let some food enter Paris, we do not comprehend. One explanation is that the King, whose mind is limited, and the military authorities, who think exclusively of military contingencies would not permit him. But anyhow we conceive it was a mistake to give the French so good a reason for breaking the negotiations. The so called reason that the French offered no " military equivalent " in return fur the subsistance they wanted for Paris is only a reason by courtesy. The plain answer is that it is necessary to even the approximate maintenance of the status quo—,the conditions before the truce which Count Bismarck offered himself. Twenty five days of food in the present state of Paris are an incal culable loss. If nothing similar was offered in return, the reason is that there was nothing similar to offer. The Germans in no way suffer a like toss. What was the real reason-for refusing to victual Paris we do not yet know, but we may be sure that the absence of a military equiva lent was not the reason. The London correspondent of the Scotsman says that Mr. Bright's health is now so far recovered that the right hon. gentleman is able to write long letters to his friends. The Lord Mayor of Dublin and his assessors (Messrs. Hyndman and Curran) have decided that the Fe)lows and resident masters of Trinity College are not entitled to have their names placed on the burgess roll. INDIA.—The Council and members of the East India Association are looking forward with much confi dence to the appointment of a committee of both Houses —at least the House of Commons—on the affairs of India in the ensuing session, but the Asiatic fears that the functions of the committee may be unduly restricted, and has reason to believe that it is not unlikely Government may seek to confine the scope of the committee's inquiry to the matter of accounts, the appointment of this com mittee not meeting with the entire approbation of the Secretary of State. STROLLING 1 LAYERS FINED.—On Saturday, at the Town Hall, Brentford, before the sitting magistrates, Edward Wildman, (the proprietor of a portable theatre,) and six of his company, were summoned for taking part in a stage play in an unlicensed building, at Hounslow. Wildman explained the difficulties of his position, stating that he could not get a license for an erection which was simply supported on wheels, and he did not think that it came within the meaning of the Act. The magistrates, however, thought otherwise, and inflicted the nominal fine of one shilling and costs. FATAL A CCIDENT IN THE lIENTING-FIELD.—On Friday the Essex and Suffolk Hunt met at Offton, near Ipswich, among the field being Mr. James Spall, land lord of the Bell Inn, Ipswich. About two o'clock, the hounds having drawn several covers blank, many members of the Hunt were standing still, when Mr. Spall said he was cold, and must be getting on. He put his foot to his horse to start, when it gave a sudden plunge and fell, rolling over its rider, and in trying to rise fell twice more upon Mr. Spall, who was killed instantaneously. THE BANK OF Nonwicm—A melancholy state ment has been issued by Mr. Kerrison, one of the part ners in the Norwich Bank. He states that when he entered into partnership with Sir Robert Harvey ten years ago he was indemnified against liability on pre viously overdrawn accounts ; but since the stoppage the concern it has, been found that heavy speculating transactions had been made previous to that date, and had been entered in the books as good debts. He asserts that he and his son were altogether deceived on joining the bank, and he accuses Sir Robert Harvey of improper conversion of securities. From a position of considerable wealth Mr. Kerrison now finds himself reduced to one of dependence upon his relatives.

THE STUDENTS OF THE GLAsaow uNtynnsiTy.--- The students at the opening of the New University of Gl asgo w conducted themselves in a manner which was extremely decorous when . compared with the uproarious p ro ceedings of their brethren at the Edinburgh Univer sity. The Glasgow students contented themselves with song-singing, and to the character of the music one can scarcely object. One voice leff md9 aloud tone with the well known "EhineWine , receiving euthusiastic applause. The German proclivities of the students were evidenced by the fact that the " Marseillaise," found little or no favour.
