LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 187, ALREADY—before the upshot of the great war now raging in the north of France can even be con jectured—England may learn, if she so pleases, from this terrible conflict between the forces of the Emperor NAPOLEON and King WILLIAM, lessons of prudence as wholesome in their way as those derived in past times from her own experiences on the battle-field. Balaklava brought one such lesson home to us, sixteen years ago, very forcibly. Tho warn ing then given, it might have been tho ugh t, would have been sufficient to have putnot only our own nation but all the other nations of Europe on the alert for at least another century. That it did not, actual events now occurring all around us, undeniable facts now rife in the very midst of us, prove to absolute demonstration. Si vis pacenz para bellurn, so often on the lips of our legislators, proved at the time of the Crimean - war to have been a mere parrot cry, the wise 'significance of which had been altogether overlooked or disregarded. Omissions had to be made good, errors had to be rectified, in the very presence of the enemy. And yet it could not then hava been said that we had been surprised into war. Our " historical con science"—to employ Mr. DISRAELI'S fantastic phrase for once not inappositely—tells us that we had "drifted into it." The expression is famous, and is indicative of the slow and gradual movement which had brought the Western Powers, at last, in the fullness of time, into direct antagonism with the serried hosts of the Russian autocrat. So has the case been, now, precisely. France and Prussia have been slowly and gradually, but inevitably, drifting into war 'during these four last years—in fact, ever since the close of the campaign of 1866 at Sadowa. Wise in her generation, Prussia has all the while been preparing. France dived that she too was preparing quite as effectively. The result has proved, however, that she was 10 no "adequate degree in readiness. NAPOLEON, no doubt, trusting to his administrators, thought otherwise. M _ . ROUHER, during the chief part of those four years last past, his principal ministerial adviser, or agent, call him which you will, was evidently under a similar delusion—judging, that is, from his indiscreet avowal immediately before the opening of the cam paign, when he publicly spoke of his imperial master having for four years been preparing for the present emergency. Emperor and Vice-Emperor were alike deceived. Considerable sums of money had been annually squandered upon the military and maritime forces of the Empire during that interval. Insomuch so that the MINISTER of FINANCE would, doubtless, have corroborated to the very letter, had 'his testi mony been required, the boastful assertion of the PRESIDENT of the SENATE. Whether it was that the end came sooner than was anticipated, or that the SOVEREIGN was completely hoodwinked as to the supposed efficiency of the various war like departments—however this may be, the fact, itself, is undeniable, that when the die was cast, the falsification of their vainglorious boasts, was completely and forth With realised. The. EMPEROR'S protracted delay upon leaving St. Cloud and going to the front was proof of this. After wards, when he had at length arrived at Metz, his still further hesitation in making an onward move ment told a tale that those who ran could read. France was not prepared. The Grand Army of the Great Nation was not in readiness. Preparing so long, squandering so many millions upon her arma maments by sea and land, she was not in a condi tion to cope with the Prussian forces flooding ;owards the frontier, and at last over it, to meet her in her own territories. When the shock of arms came, the conviction already arrived at by de duction, was only too terribly demonstrated. The picked corps of the imperial army, led by the heroic MAcMAHoN himself, was crushingly defeated at Reichshoffen. This, at the very commencement of the campaign. Since then, the drift of the war has been steadily enough in one direction—a Paris, and not a Berlin. Commissariat, Etat Major, horse, foot, and artillery, tactics, strategy—on the French side—all have been in the direst muddle and confusion. Remper parat 143 was not implied by the imperial N. Hundreds of millions of francs had been lavished nominally in getting ready for the emergency. But the emergency had come, and the army was not in readiness. Sharp as the lesson of Balalilava was to ourselves, sharper still to our gal lant neighbours, and through them to ourselves, is the lesson derivable from thA campaign of 1870, even as far as it has yet gone in Alsace and Lorraine and Champagne. TOPICS OF THE DAY. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3 the Mexican Empire could not stand after the fall of the Confederacy ; and it was at th© close of his Mexi can exploits that he was made Marshal. It is said that Bazaine was always intended eventually to lend the main column of the French army ; but the assump tion of the offensive by the Prussians precipitated matters, and the command fell at once to the more competent leader. THE DUCHY OF LORRAINE. The province of Lorraine, which there is now some talk of erecting into a neutral State, had formerly an individual existence, and a race of independent Dukes. Charles 111., the last of these, swore fealty to the Emperor of Germany, but continued to rule his States. Just two centuries ago, however, they were taken posses sion of by Louis XIV. of France. Under the Treaty of Ryswick they were subsequently restored to the successor of Duke Charles, whose name was Leopold. Later on, in 1735, it was arranged that Stanislaus, the dethroned King of Poland should have the 'province, or rather a life-interest in it, for it was to revert to France after his death. The existing Duke, whose claims were thus comfortably disposed of, was transferred to Tuscany, and, what was better, the Emperor gave his daughter, the celebrated Maria Theresa, in marriage. This treaty concluded the war about the Polish succession, and Lorraine thus played a useful part in the pacification of Europe. The new ruler of Lorraine made himself very popular with his subjects, and was known as Stanislaus the Beneficent. When he died in 1760 the duchy was incorporated with France, from which it is now proposed in some quarters. to sever it. It is a most valuable acquisi tion, being rich in corn, flax, and vineyards, as well as owning great mineral treasures, and is nearly as large as Wales. Alsace, which has also a hiotory of its own, was formerly Elsass, and is at least semi -German, though for more than two centuries the province has been nominally French. Like its neighbour, Alsace is a fertile, pic turesque, and valuable province, which France would very unwillingly part with. THE FRENCH FLEET. It may well be asked why the French fleet are not taking a more important part then they are in the present war. The inactivity of the vessels has already created the suspicion among many French men that they were sent out to sea in such haste that an adequate supply of seamen and ammuni tion was omitted to be furnished to them. In a time of reverses to land forces one would think that attacks made by powerful fleets on certain of the enemy's ports and batteries would at least serve to tantalise the enemy and prevent him from prosecuting a campaign with speed ; but tactics of this kind do not seom to have been once entertained during the last month by the French navy, about which we have heard so much boasting of late years. More was expected of the turrets and rams than the blockade of a few commercial harbours and the capture of unprotected merchantmen. THE WAR AND THE WORKING CLASSES. The suggestion made by Mr. Edmund Beales has been accepted by the Labour Representation League, who are determined to exert whatever moral influ ence they possess in favour of peace. They resolved some time since upon issuing an address to the people of the United Kingdom, advising the working classes to request their Government not to allow em to be dragged into the fin,tricidalslaughterof the war. Recent events have, however, induced them to bring some other points under the notice of English working men. The great and unexpected successes of the Prussian arms induce them to pro test against any dismemberment of France by_ Prussia. They would, we are told, have issued a similar protest, had the for tunes of the war been reversed. Secondly, they are extremely desirous that the British Govern ment should not interfere in any way with the people of France, if the latter desire any alter ation in their form of government. If the French should wish to have a Republic instead of a monarchical form of government, there should, in the opinion of the Labour Representation League, be no intervention on the part of this country. Their uneasiness no this head seems to have arisen from the support given to the Orleanists in some of the English j our nals, but whatever may be the inclinations or sym pathies of individuals the idea of England interfering actively in order to force an Orleanist dynasty on France, is in 1870 nothing else than preposterous, whatever it may have been in 1800. THE AMERICAN PRESS ON THE WAR. The New York Times notices that the Prussian vacancies are filled up as fast as they occur, but the French seemed to be under the impression that the forces they first sent into the field would suffice to finish the war. The French commissariat system has broken down as completely as the Eng lish system did in the Crimea, while the Prussian commissariat cannot fail in this way. it Was proved in 1866 that its success is assured from the first moment of the war until the last. The Tribune thinks that during the brief time the war has lasted the superior generalship of the Prussians has been sheen as clearly as their superior numbers, and both are so evident that the most ardent supporter of Napoleon can have no reason to hope for final vic tory. The first fault of the campaign was in per mitting the Crown Prince to throw all the distress of the war upon French territory. Another mistake occurred in the French allowing themselves to be surprised in Alsace. After the catalogue of blunders which he had already made, the Emperor admitted that he was again surprised: at the crossing of the Moselle. The 7ribune has little faith in the general- ship of Marshal Bazaine, and sees no hope for the French cause if a Marshal of France can make such blunders as he does. The Corps Legislatif may as well send away the Emperor at once, and make peace on the best terms they can. TEACHING BY ILLUSTRATION. A correspondent of the Times has just made a practical suggestion by which our Peace Society might impress the horrors of war forcibly on the minds of men. Be proposes that people in both armies who see what war really is and what it entails upon mankind should prepare an authentic portrait of the scenes during and after a battle, the condition of the wounded in hospital, and the condition of non-combatants in towns under bombardment or along a devastated country. Whether simply told in detail or illustrated by the artist's pencil, such reports might be translated into every European language and circulated broadcast. The vigorous pourtrayal of the deadly work of the "Bottle," and the fate of the "Drunkard's Children," by George Cruiltshank, preached an irresistibly impressive sermon to thou sands of wavering men. In the same way, if the popular imagination, instead of being dazzled by the floating banners and misled by the enthusiastic war songs, could grasp the nights of "agony.on the battle field, heaped with dead an 1 dying, or the sufferings of the ruined peasant and plundered citizen, a declara tion of war would be loss readily made. If a modern llogarth could trace the career of a young peasant in time of peace and in time of battle, the contrast might make the game of war more troublesome for kings to play at. THE NEW EDUCATION ACT. Mr. Arbuthnot, one of the managers of the "Sunningdale National School," has published some correspondence which has taken place between the Education Department and himself with respect to the working of the New Education Act. He points nut that tho Elementary Education Act re quires ..a immediate inquiry into the amount of schOol accommodation in each parish. Sunningdale is in the parish of Old Windsor, but it comprises bits ofseveral other parishes. The point on which he requires information is, supposing the parish of Old Windsor generally should not come up to the re quirements of the Government inspectors, would that part of the parish in which their school is situate be subject to the education rate, or would they be •exempted in consideration of con tinuing to support the school as at present— that is, by voluntary subscriptions aided by the Government grant and the children's pence. The communication which Mr. Arbuthnot received in reply from the Secretary of the Education De partment of the Privy Council informed him that the local inquiry which may be made into the exist ing school provision for any parish cannot be held until the Lords of the Priy Council receive the returns which are being called for from the local authorities of the parish. It was, however, stated that if a rate were eventually to be made for the parish of Old Windsor, no part of the parish would be exempt from it. Sunningdale is an ecclesiastical district, but such districts will not be dealt with separately. ENGLAND AND AUSTRIA. The Queen's messengers to the Austrian Court have, it is said, lately experienced great hardships in the pursuit of their profession—the diplomatic— which many fancy is such a quietly conducted one. As the messengers are obliged to go through Berlin, they are, it is stated, made the victims of Prussian arrogance in a way which must be very trying to the vanity supposed to be especially inherent in members of the diplomatic body. Their business is demanded of them, and their passports, with Lord Granville's autograph, are studied with *supercilious gravity, and often the documents are thrown back to England's representa tive with a gesture and comment which cannot but be disagreeable. And all this is done, although the pleasant Prussian officials know her Majesty's usual messengers perfectly. But the reception at Berlin is only half the annoyance the officials have to endure. For instance, a Mr. 'larboard in a late journey to Vienna ; could get no train on part of the route, and be was obliged to go to Bodenbach, on the Austrian frontier, in a country cart, and for several hours his seat was a sack of potatoes. The chronicler of this gentleman's misfortunes says he bore his hardships like a veteran, but could not help expressing a lively wish that the. potatoes had been. mashed beforehand—as the Loretto pilgrims boiled their peas before commencing their pilgrimage. Tnn TIEN-TSIN MASSACRES. The details of the massacre at Tieu-Tsin present sad accounts of the outrages which were perpetrated on the sufferers. The French mission property and consulate were situated at some distance from the foreign settlement. The Chinese reports state that a very stormy interview took place between the Consul and Chung-how, the Governor of Tien-tsin, and • that the Consul was killed by the mob on leaving the Governor. The attack on the mission premises was not, howev (1., so horrible as that on the priests and Sisters of Mercy. The establish ments of the Lazarites, the Jesuits, and the Sisters of Charity were burnt and the inmates put to death in the most bar barous manner. The natives who dwell in tke mission were also put to death, and many children were suffocated in a cave where they had taken shelter. The bodies were mutilated and then thrown Into th• burning houses. Tho riot appears to have been or ganised and planned in the most deliberate manner. The movement was directed entirely against the French, three Russians having been killed through mistake. The mob met and dispersed by preconcerted signals. it appears uncertain what course the French will adopt in order to revenge the injuries inflicted on their countrymen. The Chinese authorities are fully justified in their belief that a mere monetary compensation will not be deemed sufficient amends to make on the present occasion.- L ITERA TUBE. Janie, a Highland Love Story. By the Hot. Mrs. Chetwyend. Two Vols. Chapman and Hall. The reader of these volumes will be chiefly impressed with the natural manner in which the events are narrated, and with the life-like character of some of the personages. It cannot be said that the plot is very remarkable, though it is rather complicated towards the end. The heroine, Janie, does not appear so prominently on the scene as Sybil Wilder, who is a far stronger character. One of the best lessons which is taught by this narrative is the folly of relatives and friends forming engagement s for young people, or inducing them to do so without consulting their real inclinations. Had Miss Elizabeth Macnab not been so meddlesome, to begin with, about the engagement of her nephew with Janie, she would have saved all the persons concerned a good deal of trouble, but she persisted in her mistaken course against the better judgment of Janie's father, Dr. Macneil, and her own misgivings as well. The episode of Lady Wilder's visit to the North is an amusing illustration of the pertinacious . _ _ tnanner in which some people force themselves into other's [louses, and outstay their welcome in spite of evident yroof that they are not wanted. The Macneil's old servant, Bell, is a refreshing contrast in her downright style and honest attachment to the worldly de meanour of some more polished individuals met with. Sybil cannot be called an attractive person, but she gains upon the attention at last by her eager devotion to what she considered a kind work, and her premature end seems to have cut short a career that promised in a great degree to atone for early shortcomings. Ronald, the horo of the story, is not very deserving of regard, for he is too fickle and wayward; • he improves towards the close of our ac quaintance with him, but the unfavourable impression he has produced cannot wholly be removed from the mind. The descriptions of some of the inhabitants of Braefuit ' are drawn with skill, and it may be said that the author is more successful in her delineations of second-rate cha racters than of those who figure more prominently in the narrative. The story opens tamely enough, but one way or another there are many exciting episodes met with in its course, and the sad event of Ronald's accident imparts a tinge of melancholy to its closing chapters. Dr. Macneil is an unworldly character, full of genuine enthusiasm for his vocatian, and resigned to the grievous misfortunes which befel him. On' the whole "Janie " may be re garded as a pleasing novel, well calculated to amuse an idle hour, if it cannot lay claim to higher pretensions. The style is light and pleasing, and the descriptions of scenery are given with exactness, and occasionally with 1 eloquence. tialdat ~,N tfritrin 11E1? MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Aua. 28.

The revolution is not yet ended in Cuba, notwithstand ing the numerous predictions made over a year ago that it could not survive six months longer. For a people devoid of organisation, wanting arms and ammunition, without leaders, and haling even traitors among them selves—for all these shortcomings we are told are to be found in the Cuban camp—they have done remark ably well to be able to make a stand, even of the most insignificant character, against the Spaniards. Now, what means all this nonsense going on between Captain. General De Rodas and the Spanish Colonial Minister? "Do you want more troops ?" asks the Minister. " No,". says the Captain General, " save to cover my losses." " How many will do ?" inquires the Minister. De Rodas, who is a modest man, informs the Minister that about three thousand will do for the present. The Minister, after some days' reflection, again telegraphs to the Cap tain-General that if the insurrection is not suppressed by the Ist of September he will send out fifteen thousand more Spanish troops to Cuba. This is all very fine talk, looks well on paper and sounds big. We must not forget, however, the present state of Europe, and, bearing that in mind, we hardly see how Spain at such a critical time can allow any such force to leave the country. The Republicans of Spain, too, of late are be coming restless. They are not only strong, but their strength is increasing. Such being the case, it is not at all probable that fifteen thousand troops will be sent on a wild goose chase across the Atlantic. The truth of the matter is this : Spain cannot afford to send reinforcements to Cuba just now, whether the insurrection be ended or not. Captain-General De Rodas knows very well that there is not the ghost of a chance of settling things by the Ist of September. The reinforcements to aid the Spaniards in Cuba may be forthcoming, but we think they will not. New York Herald. ➢IARSHAL BAZAINE. The career of Marshal Bazaine, whose name was, prior to the war of 1870, but little known out of France, has suddenly become a matter of general interest. He is the youngest of the French Marshals, though, for once, the Imperial selection coincided with the popular wishes, and monarch and people agreed in considering Francois Achille Bazaine as the most fitting commander for the Army of the Rhine. Although not a very old man, being about sixty, he has seen much hard service. Ile is reputed the best general, so far as the management of troops upon the ground is concerned, since the days of the First Empire. He is also regarded as a man of great resource, though, either from mistake or misfortune, he does not seem at present able to turn these qualities to account. He entered the army in the ranks, thus realising Napoleon's famous saying that every French soldier carried a marshal's baton in his knapsack. He obtained his promotion to the rank of sub-lieutenant in Algeria, anti after wards served in Spain in the French Legion against the Carlists. Subsequently he went back to Africa and served both in:a civil and military capacity. In the Crimea he took part in the siege of Kinburn, and was made general of brigade and Governor of Sebastopol. Later on lie played a prominent part in the FrenCh occupation of Mexico, in connection with which his name is best known in this country. Ile proved his political sagacity by declaring that THE CRIMEA REVISITED. A traveller who has within the past few days traversed the battle-fields of the Crimean campaign writes in the Morning Post as follows of Sebastopol and the Redan :—My four days in the famous stronghold I will not attempt to describe. In all Europe I have seen no grander nor gloomier spectacle than this great battle-ground of the nations in its sudden and hopeless decay. Ruins every where ! the ruins of the Greek Chersonesus, of the Tartar Inkerman, of the Genoese Balaklava, of the Russian Sebastopol ; streets without an inhabitant, ruined dock yards, half-destroyed churches, huge barracks gaping shell-like• over heaps of shattered stone, walls hacked through and through by countless cannon balls, rusty guns half-buried in sand, and vast batteries crumbling into undistinguishable heaps of dust. Still, along the vast sweep of grassy upland that extends as far as Balaklava, we can trace the lines of approach that once crept up, foot by foot, to the borders of the doomed city; still bristles on the crest of the Malakhoff Hill that shapeless mound of earth which 5,000 Frenchmen died to win ; along the valley of Balaklava, one may follow as on a map the fatal charge of the Six Hundred ; on the heights of Inker- man the peasant homesteads are still peopled with peasant families as in the days of the great struggle but the life, and the beauty, and the glory of Sebastopol are gone for ever more. On a quiet Sunday afternoon, when the slanting sun cast a glory over the green hill-sides and long lines of shattered stone, I climbed the ridge once surmounted bp the Redan, and sat down beside the little pyramid of stone that crowns it. There is but little, indeed, in the aspect of that quiet, sunny slope to recall the terrible renown which it has attained. Man's ravage is transient as himself. The terrible entrenchment has crumbled into an undistinguishable heap of sandy earth, and the lambs frolic over the velvet turf, and the grass hoppers chirp amid the mouldering stones, as if no sound of war had disturbed the spot since the world began. Far away in peaceful England, in some quiet woodland cot tage wreathed with honeysuckle, or some quaint old farm-house with rook-haunted gable-ends, hangs the rudely painted likeness of some English lad who lies herebeneath our feet. When they last saw him, how gallantly he stood up in all the pride of his new uniform and jauntily-slung knapsack. And where is he now ? Look down and read the inkeription on the monument :—"To the memory of those who fell in the trenches and assaults upon the Redan in 1855." So should the epitaphs of all brave men be writ ten. Many courtly phrases, many lines of sounding flat tery, have been inscribed upon the tombs of famous soldiers, which have not one-half the poetry of these few simgle words. Around this quiet hill-side, where the sheep feed peacefully in the warmth of the declining sunshine, thousands of our best and bravest came cheerfully up to the long martyr_ dom which was only ended by death. In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst,- in cold and nakedness, these stout English hearts endured hardness, as good soldiers of the great cause which sent them forth. " The greatest lesson of life," said Napoleon, " is to know how t 3 die ;" and that lesson, at least, those who lie here had learned as few men upon earth have ever done. PARTY FEELINGS IN IRELAND. The spectacle of Roman Catholic and Protestant clergy men uniting in this country to discourage party displays is a rare phenomenon. It has, however, been witnessed at Strabane, where a meeting has been held to consider the best means to prevent the recurrence of party affrays, such as• have recently disturbed the peace of the town. The 'parish priest attended, and intimated that he had condemned from the altar the proceedings of the Roman Catholic band, and had requested them to desist. He believed they would obey him, and the peace of the town would be secured if any one having influence sufficient would make a similar request to the rival (Protestant) band. The rector of the parish then pro posed a resolution requesting the magistrate to issue an order directing the constabulary to prevent the bands from playing in the streets. He could not un derstand why offence was taken at a blast out of a trumpet or a flute, or why these should cause men who called themselves Chritsians to tear each other by the throat. The resolution was unanimously adopted. At a meeting of the subscribers to the Protestant Hall, Enniskillen, held on Monday, Lord Erne presiding, Mr. G. V. Porter proposed "That the opinion of the magis trates and Protestant clergy of the country should be taken as to whether Orangeism is at present a necessary insti tution." He thought the answer would be against it. The meeting did not entertain this proposition. At the close, Lord Erne said there was no use in mincing the matter—the Orangemen would be the salvation of Ire land. The sentiment was received with loud applause. THE FRENCH CRUISER OFF THE ORKNEYS.—The French man-of-war referred to in the telegram from Wick of Saturday night remained in Lerwick harbour until Sunday morning, when she sailed upon a south-westerly course. LORD HERTFORD'S WILL.—The will of the Mar quis of Hertford has been opened. He has left all his French property to his natural son, M. Richard, though it had always been given out that Bagatelle, his residence in the Bois de Boulogne, would go to the Prince Imperial, and his art treasures to the galleries of the Louvre. THE NEW LORD GWYDYR,—The statement that the barony of Gwydyr becomes extinct by the death of Lord Willoughby d'Eresby is, it appears, not correct. "Lodge's Peerage," at all events, while stating that the ancient title of Willoughby d'Eresby, as being a barony by writ, passed into abeyance between the late lord's two surviving sisters, gives Peter Robert Burrell, secretary to the Hereditary Great Chamberlain, as "heir presumptive to the barony of Gwydyr." His lordship is the eldest son of the late Hon. Lindsey Merrik Peter Burrell, M.P. He was born in 1810, was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, and was appointed to his post in the House of Lords in 1837. He is a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant for Suffolk, and second chairman of the Suffolk quarter sessions. THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE.— A Blue Book containing 537 pages is enough to startle the boldest student of Parliamentary statistics, and it is no great wonder that the labours which it represents should have overwhelmed the committee. It was ap pointed in February last, and consisted of twenty-one members, among whom were Mr. Bouv er i e , M r. O tway, Sir Henry Bulwer, and Sir Charles Dilke ; its object being to inquire into the Constitution of the Diplomatic and Consular Services and their maintenance on the efficient footing required by the political and commercial interests of the country. Having sat thirty-one time: an: examined a number of witnesses, the Chairman, Mr. Ron verie, proposed a draft report stating that the Com mittee had taken a large body of evidence on the Diplomatic branch of the inquiry, but they had not been able to enter upon the Consular branch, and saw no pros pect of being able to conclude their investigation in the present session. They therefore agreed to report to the House the evidence received and recommended that the Committee should be re-appointed in the next session. As it was the 25th of July when this resolution was adopted there could be no doubt of the wisdom of the course pursued. The evi dence collected in the volume before us is valuable so far as it goes, and comprises an immense amount of in formation respecting the position occupied by incomes our diplo matic representatives abroad, the they receive, the duties they are expected to fulfil, and the qualifica- I tions which are most requisite for the several posts.
