The announcement that Mr. Hepworth Dixon was to communicate the result of his exploration of the Hoby Islands, in the White Sea, attracted a crowded audience to the Geographical Section this morning. The President, Sir Roderick Murchison, in introducing Mr. Dixon, stated that he was the first Englishman who had visited the cause they saw no prospect when they did marry of having- a proper home, and young men frequented music halls and other places of amusement. This de stroyed the moral principle of the people, and it was de creasing day by day. The absence of marriage and perhaps the laws of marriage were the causes of this state of things. Mr. •William Carter argued that the Acts led to clandestine prostitution. Mr. Dudley Baxter said the feeling of women was unani mously agamst 'the Acts, and mentioned that in ancient times, when this proceeding was resorted to as a punish ment, numbers of women chose death rather than submit count on such an exemption, and have none to count on its continuance. Whether for war or for peace we • are equally bound to take the prudent comae of rapidly reducing the debt. Mr. Baxter said that in 1815 the English debt-tax was enor mous, and amounted to 335. sd. per head of population. At the present time the debt-tax per head of population is as follows :—England, 17s. sd. ; United , States, 12s. 6d. (16s. five years ago) ; Holland, 12s. 3d. ; Italy; lls. 10d. ; France, Bs. 7d. ; . .Austria, 7s. 3d. ; Russia, 2s, 10d. ; Ger many 2s. 9d. ; and Belgium, 8-143. On the motion of the President, seconded by Mr. Dudley Baxter, a resolution was passed, urging . upon the Secretary of State the ex pediency of arranging and tabulating the results of the tabulating the results of the approaching census in soch manner as would admit of a ready and effective compari son. Mr. Dudley - Baxter then read a paper on national debts. Shortly will be published (Crown Bvo., 120 p.), with Illustra tions by DALZIEL BROTHERS, of London, a full description of Stonyhurst College, from the earliest period 'to the present time, by A.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 6, Red Lion-square, W,C., London.—During the last 10 years this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and faithful addresses have been given. During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis.

A reference was made to B. Hodgson thought the man was theinore culpable of the two if they wished to extirpate this vice they must go much deeper than these measures went. Mrs. Butler said that a distinction should be drawn between garrison towns and the civil population in these distinctions. She had visited all those towns and seen thousands of women, and on in quiring into their secret history she found that more than half their earnings were received from civilians. The Presi dent said he had never formed a definite opinion on the subject, but ,he thought that it should be treated on statistical grounds • and, if that were so, they might well leave it to Parliament and the medical profession. The time having arrived for other business, the discussion was here brought to a close. A group of papers on subjects incidental to the science of naval architecture, read in the mechanical science sec tion, led to an interesting discussion on the loss of the ill-fated Captain. Amongst those taking a prominent part in it was Mr. Reed, the chief constructor of the navy, who expressed these views of his own ships of the class to I which the Captain belonged which have so frequently, in one form or another, been brought under the notice of the public. Mr. Reed made no secret of his belief that the Captain would never - have' , been •• a• safe vessel, even though she had continued afloat • fop many years. His reasons for thus distrusting her construction were pointed • out in • detail by • aid' . of drawings on the beach board. He strongly depreCited sailors being sent to sea in dangerous vessels. They were exposed to quite enough perils without this one being added. It had been said that the sailors on board the Captain had the .fullest confidence in her. But he contended that this was an absurd statement, for they really knew nothing about her. It was impossible for theth to be held responsible for the catastrophe on account of the confidence they May ^have 'displayed. Of Captain Burgoyne,• Mr. Reed, spoke very highly; and, while disavowing - the opinion that ironclad ships were less safe than wooden one's, `he expressed a feeling 'that r : there was a chance that England would have to pay even a greater price than the terrible loss of the Caj3tain before the folly of constructing such vessels as the one just lost was admitted. Admiral Belcher, in the discus sion, spoke very strongly upon the slur that had been cast by Captain ' Pimm upon Captain Burgoyne.. The unfortunate Captain was, he said, one of the best and most experienced officers in the British navy. The court martial now bein g held at Portsmouth would. exonerate.from blame all on board the Captain, and cover Captain Pim with conffision. These observations were received with loud applause.-'A captain-in the Mitch Navy Offered some observations the question of high or low free, boards, which was, _he contended; one that must be decided by experience.—Mr. Fennell,, connected with the Statistical Department of , the Adianralty, contended that the Captain was rather too small for the weight of her armour and her guns.—Pro fessor Rankine thought it better to avoid passing an opi nion on the cause of the Captain's loss pending the inquiry now being made. The other sections not specifically mentioned above were busily occupied with the papers, , and the whole of the departments were well attended. Some of the sections may sit for an hour or two to-morrow prior to the concluding meeting; to clear off papers not readlor watt Of.time to-day.; these, however, will be few, t The soiree, at St. George's Hall to-night, promises to be a a great and attractive reunion. • Mr. Dudley Baxter read an admirable paper on the national debts of all the, great countries, in the world. He described the rise and progress of the debts of nations, graphically, pointed out their increase and decrease, and 'discussed their probable consequences and the desirability of steps for their diminution. With respect to the debts of the United Kingdom Mr. Baxter said : "The debt of the United Kingdom is recorded in very great detail in the returns presented to Parliament ; but a perfectly accurate comparison of its amount at different periods is prevented - lop the absence for all but the latest years of the capitalised value of the Terminable Annuities, which must therefore be omitted in the figures that follow, which include only the funded and floating debt. The National •debt of Great Britain commenced in earnest after the shelling of the Monastry of Solovets by the English at the time of the war with Russia, which it was stated had left an unpleasant memory behind. A graceful tribute was paid to the courtesy displayed to Mr. Dixon , by the chief authority on the island. Admiral . , Belcher, referring to the shelling of the monas tery, explained that it would have been treated as a holy place, but that Admiral Omanney, who was in command of the fleet felt that • the British flag was insulted by some shots which were fired from the islands, and he acted on the late Lord Palmerston's principle that any insult to the British flag ougfit to be instantly re sented. Only some forty shells were thrown into the place. The history of the shell that won the battle of Sedan was the title of a paper read in the Mechanical Science by Mr. W. Hope, who wears the Victoria Cross. As a matter of fact the document in question had far more to do with the battle carried on against the War-Office by the author to get an invention of his own, tecogr nised, than with the attack upon the Northern French fortress. Briefly, Mr. Hope claims to be the inventor of the destructive shell which has been introduced into the service under the name of Boxer's 'shrapnel, which shell, he states it was, which proved so deadly at Sedan. The paper recounted the efforts put forth to convince the War Office authorities that the projectile was really to be credited to Mr. Hope, who affirms. that the invention was pirated by Colonel Boxer, to whom he had communi-. cated it. And he at length referred to the correspondence that had passed on the subject. In the Economic Science and Statistics Section, there was a discussion on the Contagious Diseases Act. The President, Professor Gevons, said it had been considered by the committee whether the subject should come before a public meeting. Many thought it ought to be left to those who were ac quainted with it by professional acceptations. But as nothing effectual could be done without general consent,and as the public disapproved of the question being secretly debated in Parliament, which had done more harm than good in the matter, the committee had come to the con clusion to permit all proper discussion. The paper to be read was by Mr. Berkeley Hill, M. 8., F.R.C.S., on " Statistical Results of the Contagious Diseases Acts,"but Mr. Hill he regretted to say had been called away to the continent in connection with the war. The section was well attended, and about ten ladies were present. Mr. Macrory, the secretary, read the paper, which gave many returns from hospitals, workhouses, and other institutions, shewing that contagious venereal ' diseases greatly pre vailed in the large towns. With regard to the army and navy, he quoted different returns to prove that these acts had operated most beneficially in diminishing disease. With regard to the effect on the moral and social condition of women, he stated that of 7,766 registered at certain mili tary and naval stations, 4,750 no longer followed their vocation. Twenty-seven per cent. were known to have returned to a respectable life, and thirty-two per cent. had left the stations, no doubt to pursue their mise rable life elsewhere. Mr. Grazebrook, denying that the Acts went to the root of the evil, protested against a ban being placed on women when the men were more at fault, or participes criminis. This was one sided legislation, and a gross violation of justice to women, and they should rather attempt,to cure the evil by ref matories and education and by Christian principles.-- Mrs. Butler having intimated that she wished to speak, was invited on the platform, and read some obser vations on the question, in the course of which she referred to the opposition which had been and would continue to be offered to the Acts, speaking of them as laws detested by the people, and to which they would not submit. Tens of thousands of persons had banded themselves together to continue opposition to the Acts until they were repealed. The address was greeted with cheers from a considerable number in the room. — Dr. De Meschin thought that the House of Commons committed a grave error in closing its doors when this subject was being discussed.—Mr. James A. Picton re marked that he had no predilection for the one theory or the other. That the matter was not to be decided by acclamation, and confessed he did not know what was meant when it was said that women had been placed under a ban. Mr. Graze brook said he meant that the acts only applied to women and not to men, which WAS manifestly unjust, and that any women in the streets might happen to be suspected, and in that case, though perfectly respectable, the consequences of the Acts would follow.—Mr. Picton said he understood that they applied to garrison soldiers as well as to fallen women in garrison towns.--Dr. De Meschin explained that soldiers were liable to inspection by virtue of military rule, and not by the Acts. Mr. Picton thought the statistics shewed that the results of the Acts had been beneficial in the highest degree; and that it was worth while to resort to a little , compul sion, if it had the effect of withdrawing a large proportion of these women from their miserable life. The mere question of expense was not to be com pared to the benefit accruing from these enactments. It was desirable that the experiment should be extended cautiously and with proper safeguards for the public liberty, because no one could doubt it was their duty, if possible,. to arrest the spread of disease throughout a community working up from the lowest grades to those above them, and carrying the germs of pollution and misery from generation to genera tion.— The Rev. George Poole generally condemed the Acts, contending that the system of examination was the foulest wrong to which a woman could be subject, and that its advocates sought to find a remedy against the effects of this disease by the protection of vice.—Mr. A. H. Bright quoted some statistics to prove that 90 per cent. of the deaths from syphillis in Liverpoolwere those of children under 9 years of age, and said that from his point of view any. enactment which would prevent this murder of the innocents was a righteous thing. Mr. Kitchener said it should be considered whether the indignity to which the women were subjected could be ameliorated without doing away with the beneficial effects of the Acts, ' and suggested that the examinations might be conducted by , properly qualified women. Mr. Dalrymple, M.P. for Bath, said that having sat on the select committee of 1869, he would have acted directly opposite to his feelings, senses, and convictions, if after hearing the inquiry he had not joined in the recommendation to extend the Act. He instanced the case of Algiers in proof of the beneficial effects of such legislation, and said that in this. country it 'enabled a strong moral influence to be-ex( rted on unfortunate women at a time most favourable for reclaiming them. If the alleged atrocities had really been committed by the autho rities in carrying out the Acts he should vote against further legislation, but unless they were positively proved he believed it was his duty to his constituents and society to old this legisla tion. Mr. Andrew Leighton, thought that if the male parent was guilty of ptopogating this disease, as most likely would be found to be the case, he should be punished. He objected to these acts, which violated the civil rights of , half the community in which, they were put into force.' Mr. F. Wilson traced allthis evil to the absence of home affections and influences whichnow seemed to be en-tiiely thrown aside. Young men, were cast upon the world without having felt those, and why? Because the people of this country were virtually dependent upon a few landlords ; having merely leasehold property, they had no attachment to the place they lived in, and mar riage seemed not to be thought of. Young ladies were generally averse to marriage be the revolution of 1688, and the wars of William 111. 'Anne, and George 11. brought up its amount in 1763 to £132,700,000. • After a reduction of £5,600,000 during the eleven years of peace that followed, the American war in ten years ,nearly doubled its amount and left it in 1784 at £243,000,000. After a second reduction of 23;400,000 during the ten yeare of peace that succeeded, the French war in 21 years added £621,000,000, and left in 1815 a total debt of £861,000,000. The thirty-nine years peace that ensued diminished it by £92,000,000 (princi pally during • the first fifteen years to 1830) and left it in• 1854 at £769,000,000. The Crimean , years raised . war 'in two its amount in 1856 to £808,000,000. The . peace since 1856 and the conversion of £31,006,000 of the Funded Debt into Ter minable Annuities reduced it by 1869 to £749,000,000: Such are.the chief epochs of the history of our National Debt. But we must not omit to observe the large rates of increase in time of war, and the'small rates of decrease in time of peace. In the wenty-one years of peace under George 111., the annual reductions were £430,000 ; in the thirty-nine , years peace-1815 to 1854—the reductions amounted to £2,350,000 annually ; in the fourteen years —1856 to 1870—the reductions per annum were £2,000,000 excluding the £31,000,000 converted into terminable annuities). Rates of decrease that are far too small for a wealthy and prosperous nation like England. In the case of France he said that the country's debt had always been involved in obscurity. " There is not a single man in France," said a high official in the Ministry of Finance, " who can tell the exact state of the National Debt. Pas un seul." In early times its amount was constantly changing through !forced reduc tions and consolidations, and in later days it has always been buried in complicated and inaccessible accounts, with no parliamentary returns to place the figures before the nation. The mode of statement varies from that of England, being ordinarily in Rentes, or annual interest, and it is more difficult to obtain the equivalent amounts of capital, which are necessary for our present comparison. Mr. Baxter said : —The information which I have obtained has been from two principal sources, the " Com pendium of Finance," by Mr. Bernard Cohen for the amounts in the 18th century ; and the kind investigations of the distinguished . French statist M. Maurice Block, for the figures since 1798. The debt of France was largely developed by Louis XIV, and at his death in 1715 amounted to a capital of £124,000,000. It was arbitrarily reduced by the Regent, in 1716, to £80,000,000. After that time it fluctuated by many reductions and increases under the two subsequent Kings till 'the Revolution. The Revolution created and destroyed a temporary debt of no less than £1,823,000,000 of assig nats, and £96,000,600 of mandats, and raised the funded debt to £96,000,000. This amount was compul sorily reduced to one-third—the stock was thence called the Tiers Consolides, and stood in 1798 at £32,000,000. The First Empire increased its amount far less than might have been expected—thanks to the contributions levied on other nations,—and left it (including afloating debt of £20000,000) at rath ermorethan double, or £70,645,000. The Bourbons were compelled to borrow for the payment of £55,000,000 levied on France for war contributions and the army of occupation, and the sixteen years of their reign again doubled its amount, leavingit in 18302141,770,000. The Orleans reign a third time doubled the nominal capital, leaving it in 1848 £299,650,000. The Republic reduced it in 1852 by a great conversisn of five into four-and-a-half per cents to £245,250,000. The Second Empire, by continued deficits, and the Crimean, Italian, Chinese, Cochin . China, Mexican, and German Wars, a fourth time doubled the capital, and left its amount on September Ist, 1870, at £518,000,000. All these amounts since 1798 care fullyexclude the Sinking Fund (whichhas been erroneously included by almost every writer), but include the floating debt. The average annual increase of capital of French debt, Mr. Baxter stated, was, under the First Empire — to 1815, £2,500,000 a year ; under the Bourbons-1815 to 1830, nearly £5,000,000 a year • under the House of Orleans -1831 to rB4B, nearly £10,600,000 a year ; and in the time of the Second Empire-1853 to 1870, £15,000;000 a year. Mr. Baxter, however, said that .in considering the national debt of Tiance we must not fordet that by the terms of the concessions of her railways the State will in the middle of the next century become the unencumbered owner of all the railways now existing in her terri tory—a property now worth more than £300,000,000. In his more general remarks, Mr. Baxter said the United States are paying off their debt at the rate of £1.5,000,000 a-year, by resolute taxati on and surpluses. England reduces her indebtedness chiefly by Terminable Annuities. But we require a more ra.pid and lamer reduction, which we can only obtain by' insisting on far larger surpluses, or by adopting some additional method. Why should we not create a sinking fund by allotment of the taxes on successions (probate, legacy, and succession duty), themselves taxes on capital, to reduce the capital • of the debt, in addition to our terminable annuities and the surpluses of prosperous years? In urging the reasons for a policy of vigorous reduction, I do not forget the arguments drawn from the exposition of Professor Jevons of 'the future exhaustion of our coal. With those who consider the future it must have great w eight ; but even great statesmen are seldom statesmen enough to act for the far future of a nation, and how can we expect it of the popular mind ? I would rather ground myadvocacy on the n ece s s ity of lightening the burdens onindustry, and 'on the Considerationthat any great war, as wars are now waged, must enormously increase the debt, and throw us hack twenty years of reduction for every year of war. By a good Providence we have for fifty-five years been exempt from any life or death struggle, requiring great armies and naval forces, and ' their gigantic expenditure.

Sergeant Charles C ,le, of the C division Detectives, said : Last night, about nine o'clock, I was standing at the corner of Chancery Lane, Holborn, when I saw the two prisoners and knowing them to be thieves I determined on watching them, and followed them along Holborn and into the Strand, and saw the female prisoner speak to eleven gentlemen, most of them elderly, and two of them drunk, the male prisoner all the time standing behind, near • the female prisoner. I followed them to Craig's COurt, the female going up the court with a gentleman, and afterwardi to the Haymarket, when I told to male prisoner that I should take him into cus tody, upon which he became, very violent, but with ass,ist ance I took him and also the, female prisoner. After denying all knowledge of each other they admitted they were husband and wife, and I know that they .have been together for years. and come from St. George's in the East. The;system pursued by them is for the woman to go up to a gentleman and rob him, and for the man to come up, and under the pretence that he is a 4 detective or her husband make a bother and thus enable the woman to escape—the practice being called " tripping up " here, but in Scotland " carrying the stick." They were committed for a month. VIOLENT ASSAULT.—Pio Pilvo, a Spanish seaman be longing to the ship Nova 'Pastora,l was charged before Air. Paget, at the Thames Police-court, with assaulting Ann Davis. It appeared the parties had been dsinking together rather freely, and a quarrel took place between them, in the course of which the pri soner kicked the woman severely on the leg and left a severe contusion upon it. He admitted having kicked her, and said he did no t i n t e nd t o i n j ure h er. Th e Captain of the ship to which the prisoner belonged said a good deal in palliation.. Mr. Paget said our laws did not allow a woman to be ill used and wounded however bad her moral character, and sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment, with hard labour. ALLEGED FRAUD BY THE PROPRIETOR OF A LIVERPOOL THEATRE.—Yesterday, at the Marylebone police court, Mr. Phillips, formerly part proprietor of the Prince of Wales Theatre, Liverpool, was charged on remand with having stolen a quantity of furniture, of the value of £6OO the property of Mr. Villars, a London dealer. It tran spired that the accused formerly resided at Sudbury, and purchased the property in question on the understanding that it should be regarded asbeing on hire until completely paid for. He had previously run through a large sum of money, but was expecting a considerable fortune on attaining his majority. The latter was, how ever, to a great extent lost by his Liverpool theatrical speculation. Being deficient of pecuniary resources, he endeavoured to obtain an advance from a London money lender, who had p re viously assisted him, and whom he owed upwards of £ 4,000. The prosecutor, expecting .to benefit by the transaction, supported the application ; but the moneylender declined to accede to it unless hs received bona fide belonged to the which he consented to give by thean assuranceanthesateurthaenpereopwehirt a written document. The negotiations did not result suc cessfully, and the furniture was • then sold by auction. The prosecutor, having no guarantee whatever for his money, instituted criminal proceedings. Mr. Lewis contended for the defence that the information could not be sustained after the production of the prosecutor's letter, and Mr. D'Eyncourt, agreeing, discharged the pri soner, but expressed the hope that as an honest man he would take the first opportunity to pay for the goods. under M.
