At the Half-Yearly General Meeting of the Proprietors, held on Thursday, the 4th August, 1870, at the City Terminus Hotel, Canon Street Station, The following Report for the Half-Year ending the 30th June, 1870, was read by the Secretary. William Champion Jones, Esq., in the Chair. The Directors, in presenting to the proprietors the balance sheet of the bank for the half-year ending the 3Cth June last, have the satisfaction to report that, after paying interest to the customers and all charges, allowing for Rebate, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, the net profits amount to £83,285 6s. 11d. This sum added to £8,195 175. sd. brought for ward from the last account, produces a total of £92,18145. 4d. They have declared the usual dividend of 6 per cent., with a bonus of 21 per cent. for the half-year, free of income tax (being at the rate of 17 per cent. per annum), which will absorb £85,000, and leave £7,181 4s. 4d. to be carried forward to Profit and Loss New Account. Mr. John William Burmester, after 15 years' service, has re quested, on account of his advanced age, to he relieved from office as one of the trustees of the bank, and Mr. Frederick Harrison, a director, has been elected in his stead. The dividend and bonus (together £1 14s. per share) will be payable at the Head Office or at any of the branches, on and after Monday, the 15th instant. SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE ARCHDEACON OF CHESTER. The announcement of the sudden and serious illness of the Venerable Archdeacon Pollock will be received with surprise and regret. Since Tuesday his health has been such as to sccasion the gravest apprehensions, and the pro stration of one so active and prominent in ecclesiastical politics will be generally deplored in the diocese. Though indisposed, Dr. Pollock ventured out on Monday and Tuesday last, but upon returning to Bowdon Vicarage on the evening of the latter day he was unexpectedly seized with symptoms which developed themselves in partial paralysis of the arm. At a late hour on Thursday eve ning br Pollock's symptoms were unfavourable. MILITARY PREPARATIONS AT HOME. An order was received at Woolwich yesterday morning from the War Office directing that the 11th Brigade of Field Artillery and B and C brigades of Royal Horse Artillery are to be immediately placed on a war foot ing, and the preparations making in consequence are causing some considerable excitement in the garrison. Rocket carriages, forge, store, and ammunition waggons, ambulances, and other appurtenances may be speedily got ready in the Royal Arsenal, but each battery is a hundred horses, and as many men short of its comple ment, and these cannot be so readily obtained. B Bri gade consists of five, and 0 Brigade of six batteries. Colonel Price, R A., set out on Thursday on an expedi tion to purchase horses.—Pall Mall Gazette. SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE ON ENGLAND'S NEUTRALIT Y. In the course of his speech at Westward Ho ! Sir S. Northcote said : " I believe from my heart that if this country really does its duty well and wisely and carefully, there will be no calls upon us for the services in the field of this description of men. At the same time it is requisite that we should be prepared to render those services if necessary, and that we should make it known to all the world that we as a nation are determined to shed the last drop of our blood and spend the last shilling of our treasure, if necessary, for the protection of the honour and interests of England. And I am quite convinced that is the determination if made well known; if every foreign nation, whatever they may be, is fully convinced that such is our deter mination, the knowledge of the determination will go further to prevent this country being drawn into the horrors of war than any other act could possibly do. I call on all Englishmen, whatever may be their position, and whatever may be their opi n i ons , t o co - operate with the Government in endeavouring to preserve the peace of this country. I mean not only that we should be ready to make every sacrifice in the way of volunteering, &c., but that we should conscientiously endeavour to assist the Government to remain honestly neutral in this matter, by abstaining from equivocal commercial trans actions." SALE OF THE LATE CHARLES DICKENS' RESIDENCE. Gadshill, the residence and property of the late Charles Dickens, was put up at public auction yesterday, at the London Auction Mart, by Messrs. Morton, Forst, and Co. There were a great number of persons present, including Mr. Charles Dickens, jun. The auctioneer (Mr. Trist) said it was neither his province nor his intention to offer any enconiums on the life of the late lamented owner ; it was sufficient for them to know that he lived in the residence, now about to be offered them, many years and that it, there fore, possessed an historical interest. Before commencing the auction he might express a hope that the same amount of enthusiasm would be exhibited on this occasion as on that of the sale of Mr. Dickens's chattels, by Messrs. Christie and Manson. Having described th e property, Mr. T r i s t sa id h e would not trouble them with any figures in the way of estimate of its value, but he might state that he had been informed that some Ameri can gentleman had expressed his determination to have it at any price. This, of course, had nothing to do with the auctioneer, but at the same time he might express a hope that for the good name of this country some Englishman W VLa. 1.... - enjoyed by the late illustrious au hor. (Hear, hear, and loud applause). Whether that was so or not, he believed on looking at the company before him, that he should get full value, and his instructions were if any thing like a fair offer were made to sell that day. Of course it would be a great pleasure for him to sell the property to any American gentleman, and especially at the sum of £20,000, which was, he was told, about to be offered. At the same time he need not say he should be much more highly delighted to find that the purchaser was an Eng lishman. He then proceeded with the sale of the House, and there being nuoffer, the property was eventually put put up at £5,000. The biddings increased at slow intervals up to £6,500 when the auctioneer observed that it was evident rumour could not have been truthful. £6,600 was eventually offered, at which sum it was knocked down to a gentleman, who it turned out was bidding for Mr. Charles Dickens, jun. On learning this the greatest satisfaction was expressed by those present. Lot 2, the 8 and odd acres adjoining the house were knocked down to the same gentleman for Mr. Dickens, at £1,500. LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND ART. The English Eight, by whom the Elcho Challenge Shield was won at the late Wimbledon Meeting, have requested the Lord Mayor to be its custodian until the next contest—a duty which, until lately, fell to the Lord Prov.st of Edinburgh, who received it from Mr. Horatio Ross and the victorious Eight representing Scotland. The Lord Mayor has willingly given his consent ; and the ceremony of presentation to his lordship, which will take in Guildhall very shortly, will otherwise be notable as furnishing an opportunity for a great display of the reserve forces. This demonstration will, we understand, in all probabily be made. In the attempts now being made further to utilise the hill regions of India for English residence, the Observa tory at Nynee Tal, itself a hill tow n , i s t o be removed to to Raneekhet, which is said to be chosen by some of its patrons as the future hill capital of India. —Nature. ' The munificent sum of £l,OOO has been contributed by an anonymous donor, " G. F. 5.," to the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the great fire at Constantinope. Sub scriptions amounting to a little over £12,000 have been received at the Imperial Ottoman Bank for the fund, and include one of £5OO from the Corporation of the City of London, and £lOO from Messrs. J. and N. Philips and Co., Manchester. Dr. Eustace Smith has been created Chevalier of the Order of Leopold, and appointed physician in ordinary to the King of the Belgians. Lord Justice Mellish will not take his seat upon the bench until Michaelmas Term, but the Law 2 lines says he will, however, be knighted immediately. The commission of the Hon. Frederick T. Frelinghuy sen, as American Minister, has been sent to him ; but there are said to be doubts o f his acceptanCe of the post, in succession to Mr. Motley. He fears that it will inter fere too much with his business affairs. Henry Madrell, the pilot who got the steamer Chaim' ashore, through attempting to navigate the Rock Channel at Liverpool without sufficient water, has been reduced to a lower class of licence. He has hitherto been considered one of the very best men in the service, and the Pilot Committee regretted being obliged to administer so severe a sentence. It is understood that the Government has resolved to embody the Irish Militia. Mr. Dixon has placed on the notice paper his in tention to introduce a bill next session to amend the Ele mentary Education Bill. The Rev. Orby Shipley writes to the Church Review respecting the Court of Arches. Catholics, he says, meaning Anglo-Catholics, are unable to bow to the authority of the court, because it is not the court of the Metropolitan. They have two conscientious objections to it. It is not administered after ancient precedent, and it allows of an appeal to a purely secular court. Mr. Bennett is the first priest who has had courage to ignore its authority, and few Catholics will again consent to plead before Sir R. Phillimore's court. • The 7 ablet gives us the Catholic sentiments on the war. " Our sympathies," it says, "are with the great French people. They represent the generous and Chris tian element i n th e c i v ili sa ti on of Europe ; for twenty years they have stood between the Pope and the Revolution. They are the heralds of - true civilisation because they are the missioners of the world. This is reason enough to enlist the symi pathy of England in the cause of their enemies. Protes tant journals have said that the Irish side with the French because they are Catholics ; they have not.added that the English side with the Prussians because they are Lutherans, freemasons, and infidels." AN ATMOSPHERIC TELEGRAPII.—Nature urves detailed description of an atmospheric telegraph invented by Signor Guattari, which professes to effect by means of compressed air all that is performed by an electric battery. By an ingenious system of tubes and stopcocks the in ventor creates currents, or pulsations of air, which set in motion a lei er connected with the writing apparatus. Any number of conducting tubes may be employed, and the machinery is so simple that it cannot get out of order. Of course it has an advantage over the electric system in being wholly unaffected by atmospheric in fluences, and in the requisite medium being always at hand. The Royal Scientific Institute of Naples has awarded to Signor Guattari a gold medal in recognition of what they consider an important invention, adding a graceful tribut e on it s presen t a ti on t o th e effect that it was the only gold medal which the institute had e awarded. As experiments with the machine were succea.- fully conducted only a few weeks ago,-thesyStem cannot be pronounced chimerical; and we hope the attention of our Post Office authorities will be directecl to it, LAW AND POLICE. ALLEGED SCUTTLING OF A VESSEL.—At the Mansion House, Hector Gillies, of Portree, Isle of Skye, and John Fitzgerald, master mariner, a native of Ireland, were brought up in custody of Spottle, a detective ser geant, for further examination before the Lord Mayor on the charge of scuttling a vessel called the Admiral Napier, of which Clinks was owner and Fitzgerald master, with intent to defraud - the underwriters. It will be remem baretl that the vessel was lost on a voyage from Liverpool to Aberdeen, and the •allega tion was • that Fitzgerald scuttled her at the instigation of Gillies, the insurances amounting to about £l,OOO, while the ship was only worth between £3OO and £4OO. It appeared that Gillies had endeavoured to bribe previous captains to cast her away, and evidence was now called with the view of chewing that he waited at Bristol and Glasgow, according to .previous arrangement, in the expectation of receiving information th a t the vessel was lost. The prisoners were again remanded. ROBBERIES BY A CLERK. —At the Mansion House, William Moore, thirty years of age, was brought up in custody of Edward Funnell, a detective sergeant, for examination berfore the Lord Mayor on a charge of steal ing at various times moneys to the amount of about £3OO, belonging to his employer, Mr. Julius Mauren bacher, merchant, carrying on business in Mark Lane. The prisoner,_ w.ho tikd .._been is the service of the prosecutor for ten years, was his chief clerk, and as such was entrusted with money to pay into the bank to the credit of Mr. Maurenbacher. A day or twa ago an intimation was made by the bankers that the account was overdrawn, and Mr. Maurenbacher's suspicions being excited, he asked the prisoner for the pass-book. The prisoner stated that he had left it at the bank, and the prosecutor then asked him to go to the bank with him. At the door of the banking-house the prisoner said it was not necessary to go any further, and admitted that he had been appropria *ng the money belonging to his master. The Lord May r remanded him for a week. A NOTABLE BANKRUPT.—In the Co rt of Bankruptcy the case of Captain Arthur Brooks was heard. The bankrupt was described as of St. Peter's-chambees, Corn hill ; of Woodcote Park, Epsom ; and of the Naval and Military Club, Piccadilly, gentleman, late captain in her Majesty's 13th Hussars. The debts are £1,900 ; no assets. This was th e s itti ng f or public examination.— Mr. Slater, the trustee, offered no opposition.— Mr. R. Jones, solicitor, the petitioning creditor, op posed. The-bankrupt h a d so ld hi s comm i ss i on i n the 13th Hussars, and had since been out of the way. He had had to be advertised for at every stage of the proceeding. He (Mr. Jones) had discounted a bill of the bank rupt's for £212, on the representation by his solicitor that he was the son of Mr. Robert Brooks, of Woodcote Park, Epsom, th a t he was e ntitl e d to property under his mother's marriage settlement, and that his bill was as good as the Bank of England. The bankrupt, examined, stated that he joined the army in 1858, and sold out in October 1868. During the time lie received an allowance from his father. He re ceived nothing from the sale of his commission. He had mortgaged it two years before to his brother as security for advances of larger amount. Mr. Reed, for the bank rupt, stated that the matter had already been inquired into by the trustee, and the bankrupt had given the fullest information. Bankrupt, further examined said he had an interest in some racehorses • one was named Zi ng a r i ; it was i n training aCMr. Reeves's at Epsom, and was sold to pay expenses, He had had betting transactions on the turf, but not to any amount since October, 1868. He had not been in any business since, but h a d rece i ve d occas i ona ll y sums from his father, but no fixed income. The Registrar said that this was not an application for order of dis charge, but merely an examination, and as the accounts were not impeached the bankrupt must pass. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT AT THE ALHAMBRA PALACE. Henry Aston, described as a " recruit, St. George's Barracks," was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt at the Marlborough -street Police-court, with violently assaulting William Smith, a cellarman, at the Alhambra Palace. Henry Simmons, an officer of the Alhambra, said that in consequence of complaints from some of the visitors he spoke to the prisoner and requested him a dozen times to desist from making a disturbances when he took up a glass and threatened to smash his head. He caught hold of the prisoner to eject him, as also did another officer named Smith, and the prisoner bit Smith's hand and head and struck him (witness) several times. William Smith said that on going to the previous witness's assistance the prisoner made an attempt to bite his nose, but not sue rvitits-tace prisoner bit one of his fingers very severely. Patrick Kelley, a porter in Covent Garden Market, de posed to having complained to the officer of the prisoner's conduct, which was disgusting in the extreme. The pro secutor was very much annoyed by the conduct of the prisoner and his companions, who got up and set to dancing as soon as the band struck up, and such was the grossness of their language that be was compelled to send his wife away. Hearing the witness Smith cry out be went to his assistance, and took his finger from the pri soner's mouth, the finger being severely bitten. The pri soner said all that had been stated was lies. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was evidently one of a brutal race of roughs breeding up for the gallows. He had been guilty of a cowardly, brutal action, and would be committed for six weeks with hard labour for the assault on Smith, and and have to pay 40s. or 14 days for the assault on Simmons, DEFACING THE QUEEN'S COlN.—Richard Wilcox, bar man, at the Sloane's Head, North-street, Chelsea, was summoned to the Westminster Police-court, f or defacing a half-sovereign. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. W. D. Smyth, of Rochester-row, who stated that the prosecutor, Mr. Arthur Chester Ellis, sent for a bottle of wine for a sick person, and the half-sovereign was ten dered in payment : the defendant took it, bent it in his teeth, indented it, and then returned it, refusing to take it or give another for it. The Consolidated Statutes empowered the magistrate to try whether it was 'good, and then upon tender to the defen dant and I his neglect to give the full value of it he would be liable to indictment. The half-sovereign was duly traced to the defendant's possession, and he denied that he had said it was bad, but it appeared that suspicion arose as to its being genuine, and hence it was returned. It was 24 years old, and had been worn very much. A jeweller proved it was worth 9s. Bd., and had been diminished in value only by reasonable wear and tear. Mr. Arnold decided that it was good, and the defen dant's master, Mr. Pallett, paid the money. Upon the application of Mr. Smyth, Mr. Arnold said the defendant clearly thought it was bad, and ordered ss. costs. BRUTAL ASSAULTS.—David Briant, an Irish labourer, of 31, Brunswick-street, commonly called Tiger Bay, St. George-in-the-East, was brought up before Mr. Lushing ton, at the Thames Police-court, charged with assaulting his wife Hannah, in Christian-street, Tiger Bay—and which a magistrate of this court once described as the most un- Christian street he had ever met with. There was a drunken quarrel between the prisoner and his wife, and she provoked him by calling him bad names. He retaliated with his fists, and beat her in a most brutal manner. The policeman came up and found the woman bleeding and exhausted. Mr. Lushington sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour.—Jaznes Ryan, an Irishman, upwards of six feet high, of remarkably giant like proportions, was charged with violently assaulting his wife, Ellen, in Rosemary-lane, commonly called Royal Mint-street, Whitechapel. The parties quarrelled at half-past 12 last night, and the prisoner, who was mad drunk, attacked his wife, and struck and kicked her until she was rendered in sensible. Mr. Lushington said he might be justified in sentencing the prisoner to six months' imprisonment and hard labour for the atrocious assault he had committed, but as it appeared the conduct of the prisoner towards his wife was generally good he should sentence him only to three months' imprisonment and hard labour, and after that term had expired to find bail to keep the peace for three months more, and to be of good behaviour towards his wife and all her Majesty's subjects. The appointment of Mr. Mellish as a Judge of the Court of Appeal in Chancery has been gazetted. The Civilian hears of extensive alterations in the in-door branch of the Inland Revenue at Somerset House. The offices which will probable be most affected by the coming changes are those of the Secretary and Accountant. General. The Clonmel Chronicle states that, owing to the opposition which has been given in the various towns slong the line of railway between Waterford and Limerick to the erection of poles through the streets and the exten sion of the wires to the different post-offices, the local inspector has received instructions to have them removed, and to allow matters to remain as they have been hitherto. TAX-GATHERING EXTRAORDINARY.—This novel and somewhat important question came up at the Perth Quarter Sessions on Tuesday, on an appeal at the instance of the Crown against a decision of the local justice of the Weem district who decided that Rob er t M enz i es, a member of the Weem Curling Club, was not liable to pay the licence for armorial bearings by wearing the Menzies' crest in his bonnet at a curling match at Logierait, on the 21st of February last. After a long discussion'the vote was taken, when the appeal was maintained by a majority of 5 to 4. The jury recommended that the penalty, which is £2O, be reduced to £1 Is. without costs. .NAPOLEON 111. AS REPRESENTED IN " Edmund Yates, in his letter to the Westcrn Mail this week, says :—" I have often noticed that the portraits of the Emperor Napoleon, as drawn by Mr. Tenniel in Punch, form a tolerable accurate reflex of the current English feeling towards that sovereign. The Times, which is supposed to lead, really only follows every twist and turn of popular opinion. Punch follows the Times; and Mr. Tenniel is the pictorial exponent of Punch, so that, when the entente cordiale is at its height, we find the Emperor represented by the comic draughtsman as a sufficiently good-looking man, with aquiline profile and keen eye. But let him do any thing to displease us, the people of England," i.e., the Times and Punch, and straightway the aquiline nose be comes an enormous proboscis, the eyes are small and swine -like, a horrible wisp of hair adorns each side.of the head, and :the whole aspect of the man is aged and vul garised. I think you will find this last-named model Used by Mr, Tenniel for some time to come. AUGUST 6, 1870. PRICE I d STAMPED 2d -THE LESSONS OF OUR WAR AS EXIIII PLES F,OR EUROPE.. They are not without readiness in the application of " Yankee Notions " on the other side, as the war already exhibits even in these its limping hours. Our Yankee notion of ironclad battles is likely to be the grandest new feature for Eurepe in this contest; for, though no Prussian fleet will meet a fleet of France, we shall doubtless hear of the French ironclads, es)ecially, perhaps, the great Dunderberg, built in this city, steaming up to the Prussian laud batteries and pounding them to fine dust. How terribly this one arm may make the Power that is without it feet its inferiority I Already we have heard of the use to be made of the gunboats on the hint of the instance at Pittsburg Landing, .where but for these, Shiloh might have been shorter. The French army has been learning for more than five years in our system of field lines, and now we hear of the Prussians obstructing the rivers with hulks—a practice of course much older than our war, but one that was better exemplified by us than ever before, excepting only at Sebastopol. Another American idea that might well be added to this is that of putting torpedoes down with the hulks or elsewhere. They do not often explode at the right time , but when they do it is bad for the gunboat.—New YorkWerald. His Fxcellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the Countess Spencer are expected to arrive at Althorp Hall, Northamptonshire, about the 20th inst., from Ireland, with the intention of staying about a fort night to receive company. The marriage of the Hon and Rev. F. G. Pelham and the Hon. Alice Carr Glyn, postponed on account of a recent bereavement, was celebrated at St. Michael's, Chester-square on Thursday, by the Rev. th e M as t er o f the Temple and the Hon. and Rev. E. C. Glyn, in the presence of a few of the nearest relatives. A PUGILISTIC PARSON.--On Thursday, the Rev. E. Sanderson, of Chively, was convicted at the Newbury Petty Sessions, of an assault on the parish school-master, Mr. Glanville, by pushing his head against a wall on premises to which Glanville had right of access. Mr. Sanderson made a lengthened defence, pleading that the assault was unintentional, but the justices ordered him to pay £1 penalty and costs. TIM WAR AND THE LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OP COMMERCE.—The general purposes committee of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce met yesterday to con sider the question of asking the chambers of the United Kingdom to unite in calling upon the mercantile and manufacturing community to abstain from and to dis charge to the utmost of their ability all the operations tending to endanger the neutrality of England, by sup plying either belligerent with munitions of war, in ac cordance with the terms of the proclamation of her Majesty the Queen. A resolution to that effect was adopted unanimously. The general chamber will discuss the matter on the Bth. CONTRABAND OP Wart.—ln reply to the Birming ham Chamber of Commerce, as to what articles would be considered contraband of war, Mr. Hammond, of the Foreign Office, says :—" I am to state to you, for the in formation of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, that her Majesty's Government cannot define contraband of war. Merchant vessels belonging to belligerents are liable to capture ; and it is for neutral owners of cargoes taken on board vessels so captured to prove their owner ship and the innocency of the cargo. Lord Granvi le directs me to add that all the information her Majesty's Government possesses of the intentions of the belligerents in regard to these and similar matters has been, and will continue to be, published in the newspapers for general information. The marriago of Mr. William Martin Eflinunds, of Worsbrough Hall, Yorkshire, to Miss Emily Frances Tichborne Hibbert, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Washington Hibbert, took place last Wednesday at the Catholic Church of the Assumption. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father James Clare, S.J. The bride was met at the church by eight bridesmaids. After . the cernmony the party proceeded to the family residence in Dover-street, where a sumptuous breakfast was laid for upwards of 100 in the grand ball-room. Shortly before three o'clock the newly-married couple left for the resi dence of the bride's sister, Lady Gwendoline Petro, Whitley Abbey, Warwickshire, to pass the honeymoon. The presents to the bride and bridegroom were most nume rous and handsome. Alo .Amtv.," I/ • rlv • V _A CinkflCl TII C , .NTINENT The Canadians are jubilant. They profess to haVe received information that the Imperial Government is willing to guarantee a loan for the construction of a railway from Montreal to British Columbia. John Bull evidently is desirous of securing the trade of China and Japan, which is now finding its way over our Pacific railroads ; but the old gentleman is mistaken in his means of attaining his object. A railway through the wilderness of British America, with little or no local traffic, and subject to detentions half the year by snow and storms, cannot compete with lines already established and operated profitably.. The Canada Pacific Railway is an excellent subject for speculation, but its speedy comple tion is very doubtful, even with the advantage of a loan guaranteed by the Imperial Government.—New York, Herald. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.— On Thursday, a meeting Of this Institution was held at its house, John-street, Adelphi, Mr. Thomas Ch a p man , F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. The report which was re ceived stated that rewards had been granted to the crews of different shore boats for saving life from wrecks on our coast. Since the last meeting payments amounting to about £1,900 were ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments, and it was announced that the Ancient Order of Foresters had just pi esented, through their Secretary, Samuel Shawcross, the sum of £lOO as their contribution for the past year in aid of the support of the boats Forester and Foresters' Pride, which had been generously presented by the order to the society, and which are stationed respectively at Newquay, Cardigan shire, and at West Hartlepool. A legacy of £lO, be queathed by the late Mr. Wells, of Plymouth, had also been remitted to the institution. Some reports having been read from the inspector and the assistant-inspector of lifeboats to the institution, the proceedings ter minated DISASTER AT SEA—SEVEN LIVES LOST.—A cor respondent in Boston — , Massachusetts, writing on July 21st, says:-- "A letter received here to-day, states that the ship Bengal, of Boston, Captain Burgess, from Cardiff, for Singapore, put into Rio Jan er i o , June 12, in conse quence of having been run into by the British barque, Royal - Berkshire, Captain Grant, from Mauritius for Cork. Captain Burgess writes that 'on the night of the 28th of May, when twenty miles north of the Equator, in longitude 24 40, going eight knots under all sail, with a good lookout and side lights burning, I heard the second mate shout ' Hard up.' I jumped on deck and saw a light two points off the weather bow, close to, and we instantly came in contact, striking the bark for ward of the fore rigging and sinking her almost immediately. During the collision six men got on board the Bengal. We lowered a boat to search for any other survivors, but did not find any until after daylight, when we found two men floating on a spar. One of them said, when taken on board, that the collision was the fault of the bark, as there was no one at the wheel, and that they were all employed in catching water from a shower then falling." The saved were the first and second mates, the carpenter, and four seamen. The lost were Captain Grant, his sister, three boys, and two men. The Bengal was badly damaged in the stem. GERMAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE RELIEF OF THE WOUNDED AND DESTITUTE IN THE WAR OF 1870.--The donations sent to the London central committee now amount to about £22,300. Many of the large G erman firms in the City have contributed most liberally, and the appeal for help has met with a liberal response not only amongst the magnates of the City, the German clerks and workmen having also contributed in proportion to their means. Grants in money and kind to the amount of £12,400, have oeen made by the committee. Money is asked for most urgently by the many associations for the wounded existing in all parts of Germany, and especially in the towns where large military hospitals are being established. But there are cer tain articles which can be procured • better, cheaper, and, above all, more expeditiously in England, such as water cushions, ice bags, lint, gutta percha, tissue, surgical instruments, hospital tents, &c. £2,800 will b e a ppli e d i mme di a t e ly t o th e purc h ase o f thesa articles, most of which are intended for Cologne, Dussel dorf, and other places on the Rhine ; £9,600 in cash were forwarded to the following places, viz., £3,000 to Berlin, £1,150 to Darmstadt (including £l5O for the St. Elizabeth Institution, where most of the nurses in the London Ger man Hospital have been trained); £l,OOO each to May ence Frankfort, Carlsruhe, Stuttgart, and Munich; £l5O each to Bonn, Coblenz, and Aix-la-Chapelle. THE " TIMES" AND THE HOME SECRETARY.—The Times makes a direct attack upon the Home Secretary, who, put On Thursday evening, the final touch to his achievements of • the session. What are those achieve ments ? He has contrived throughout six months to say but little, and to do still less, and be completed this progamme by doing a great deal less than nothing. Mr; Bruce has no doubt exerted his best energies in the public service but the re sult has been absolutely nit. Takin g as aninstance the Lectionary Bill which lie has ruthlessly disposed of when a few stray minutes would have passed it into law, the 2'imes can only suppose that Mr. Bruce's habit of taking things into consideration and keeping them there pursues him into Church, and lie has neveirealised the boon which the bill would have conferred on ordinary hearers. It is a bill which encounters no serious opposition of any kind, whether political, social, or ecclesiastical.
