THE LAST RAILWAY ACCIDENT. It seems that it was not a mail train that met with the accident at Whitmore, near Crewe, on Tuesday morning, but the ordinary nine o'clock evening train from London to the north timed to leave Strafford at 12.31. The train punctually kept the hour and left all well, the usual goods train preceding it by the customary time allowed. At Standon Bridge, where the goods passed at a time it would seem suggestive of danger to the officials, the train was allowed to proceed at caution, the ordinary blue light being exhibited. The driver of the train, one of the most experienced on the line, Owen Jones, at once slackened speed and reduced the rate at which the engine was running from 35 to about 20 miles an hour. Ap proaching the cutting, the line at this point is at a slight gradient and sharp curve, and the atmosphere being un usually thick and hazy, Jones failed to see what was on before till within, it is said, 50 or 60 yards of the rear van of the goods train. With a promptitude which one and all the passengers appear to acknowledge, he reversed steam and signalled to the break vans, so that simultaneously with the application of those on the engine those on the vans were put down. The shock, fearful as it was, was thus in some degree lessened. The rear van of the goods train, with three or four trucks, was hurled off the line and shattered, and the contents of the trucks more or less damaged. 'The brakesman of the luggage train, John Tassle, resident in London, had a singular escape framl injury. His van, turned completely over, was so much broken, and covered with materials from the other waggons, that escape was impossible, and a quar ter of an hour passed before he could be released from his temporary prison. When got out, he was found to have sustained comparatively little injury, beyond a strained ankle and a slight contusion on the right leg. Close upon the van, off the metals, and very much battered, lay the engine and one or two carriages, displaced and broken in various parts. General surprise, not unmingled with thankfulness, is expressed that out of a heavily freighted passenger train of about 15 carriages, so little injury and loss of property was occasioned. The driver of the engine was very much shaken and contused in the back. His companion, the fireman, was uninjured, and inn mediately after the collision, ran down the line to Whit more, and succeeded in preventing further disaster by blocking the line. Meanwhile some of the passengers, profiting by experience in such emergencies, p ro t ec t e d themselves against the cold and further guarded against the approach of other trains by making use of the splinters of wood and other debris, and kindling a fire by means of waste and fire from the engine. Many of the passengers, after recovering from the effects of the shock, proceeded on their journey, and only a few remained at the Crewe Arms. The injured are—Mrs. Hart, Inglefield-road, London ; Mrs. Spinks, Lon don; Mr. William Neville, Longsight, Man chester; Mrs. Morrison, Argyle-street, Glasgow; Mr. Jude, 33, George-street, Euston-square, London ; Mr. Pollok, Beaufort. street, Chelsea, London ; Mr. Mearns, 47, Cochrane-street, Glasgow ; Miss Reilly ; Mr. Alfred Miller, Newbury, Berkshire. Four sailors, en route to Glasgow, two of whom, named James Clarke and John Thompson, were badly hurt, but refused to leave their mates, who were also classed among the injured. ALARMING EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS, An explosion, the causes of which up to a late hour last evening were not fully explained, occurred yesterday, at a firework establishment at Sprowston, near Norwich, occupied by Mr. George Coe. Mr. Coe was absent from Norwich at the time of the occurrence, but his niece, a young girl named Sarah Woods, was residing at his house, within a short distance of the works. The esta lishment was blown to the ground by the force of the explosion, rnd the windows in Mr. Coe's house and some of the adjoining houses were also broken. The girl, Sarah Woods was somewhat hurt, and was removed to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, as was a man, named Robert Whall, who appears to have caused the accident by his inadvertance. Whall is a lucifer match manufacturer, and, according to his own account, he went into the workshop and began o.ngering some materials, when they suddenly took fire, and the explosion followed. Whall is much hurt, but is expected to recover. He does not appear to have enter tained any ill-feeling towards Mr. Coe, and the occurrence Is supposed to have been purely accidental. THE YELLOW FEVER IN SPAIN. A telegram from Madrid on September 28th says the yellow fever is on the increase. In Barcelona several doctors have fled from the city. The malady has spread tb two seaports in the province of Valencia. A vessel which has arrived at Port Evedra has three of the crew dead and seven sick of the fever, which has suddenly manifested itself. The panic is beginning to manifest itself in the towns of the west coast of Spain. The inhabitants who fly from the infected localities are refused admittance into all other towns, and sanitary cordons are being established almost everywhere except round Madrid, where the authorities have still power enough to prevent such odious measures being taken. AMERICAN NOTES. THE NEW AMERICAN MINISTER. Our correspondent at New York, writing on September sth, says :—Mr. Motley's high position as an historian gave him an influence in America that Mr. Morton, the recently nominated Minister for England, has never obtained. He adds :—" Although the desire of the Administration to secure the services of an ambassador who will insist more vigorously than Mr. Motley upon the payment of the Alabama claims may be gratified in the appointment of Mr. Morton, still, such a policy, it is feared, may more likely serve to widen existmg international dif ferences than to lead to a peaceable solution of the unfor tunate question. The Herald endorses Mr. Mortal's appointment. This is in itself an untoward sign, but public opinion is not loud in his favour as the most fitting of repre sentatives. It is generally thought that Mr. Morton's capa bilities as a diplomatist and a politician have heretofore had little of that exercise and growth which the English mission—more especially if the mission is to entail more than ordinary statesmanship and impartiality, demands. Whether Mr. Morton is likely to add dignity to his high and responsible office is, to say the least, questioned by Englishmen in America, and not in a few cases by the most friendly of his own countrymen also. Referring to musical and theatrical matters, our cor respondent writes : The great German tragedienne, Mlle. Lubach, has made a most successful deb& as Marguerite, in Goethe's " Faust," at the Fourteenth-street Theatre, late and significantly the Thatre Francais. The house was crowded in all parts on the opening night, and Mlle. Lubach's reception was most enthusiastic and floral. The management have the habit here of contracting for a shower of bouquets with which such artistes as Nilsson and Lubach are manifestly disconcerted. Mlle. Nilsson's popu larity continues, but the hall was not quite so well filled on the second as on the opening night. CHlNA.—lntelligence from Shanghai, dated the 15th of September, is to the effect that the Chinese are threatening foreigners in Kiu-kiang, Chin-kiang, and Chefoo. A scholarship of the annual value of £5O, with free admission to the lectures, and chemical and metal lurgical laboratories, tenable for three years, in the Roy al School of Mines, London, has been awarded to Mr. J. A. Bennion, of Owen's College, Manchester. THE CORPS OF COMMISSIONAIRES.—The commit tee for the relief of the sick and wounded have despatched six commissionaires to the seat of war. These men are placed under the immediate superintendence of Captain Brackenbury, and will be chiefly employed in looking after the valuable stores of the association. Two high tides, on the 24th and 25th of September, have been turned to account by the engineers at Cher bourg. The inundation of the swamps has been com pleted, so that Cherbourg has become an impregnable island between the sea on one side and the swamps on the other, It was quite time this design should be carried out, for the inhabitants were becoming uneasy. A series of red crosses of uniform design were found on the bar riers of several little roads to the town. The Cher bourgeois immediately suspected that these were marks to indicate the road. TSB LONDON DEMOCRATS.—The deputation who waited last week on Mr. Gladstone to obtain an official recognition of the French Republic, met on Tuesday night to review the situation. Mr. Albert Solomons expressed himself as strongly dissatisfied with the explanation given by Mr. Gladstone, which he thought evasive, and moved a resolution that it was generally unsatisfactory." Mr. George Potter moved an amendment to the effect that the explanation of the Prime Minister though not i n ever y sense sa ti s f ac t or y, sufficiently indicated the desire of the Government to act in a friendly spirit towards the existing Government of France, and also to exert its influence for an equitable and speedy termination of the war. The amendment was carried by a considerable majority. A ROCKET TELEGRAPH. —The inventor of a new nocturnal military telegraph, Captain Papafy, a Hun garian officer in the United States service, has just sold his invention to the Prussian War Department. By means of this telegraph, which consists of rockets of different colours, a communication can be established between two armies stationed at a distance of twenty miles from each other. It would enable Bazaine, for instance, to cora raunicate with the Commandant of Thionville. Each rocket represents six words, and an order containing 300 words can thus be conveyed by 50 rockets. The key to the tele graph, which may be altered so as to make it unintelligible to the enemy, contains all the words used in strategy and tactics. The price of one of these rockets is about two shillings.—Eastern Budget. CHESTER CATHEDRAL.—When the members of the British Association dispersed from Liverpool, one party of them visited the City of Chester, where a lecture on the History Architecture, and Reparation of the Cathedral was given by the Dean. The same afternoon was chosen for the placing of the top-stone of the last pinnacle of the tower, which is now fully re stored. This was done in the presence of General Badeau, the eminent historian of the recent American Civil War, and now Consul-General of the United States in this country, and of a few others who found standing-room on the small platform erected for the purpose. The Dean, after saying th a t muc h thank fulness was due to God for the preservation hitherto of all the workmen from serious injury, expressed his hope that the cathedral would ever fulfil its functions as a place for the reverent worship of Almighty God, for the faithful preaching of the Gospel, for the maintenance of a school di sacred music, and for the Christian education of the young.—Guardian. THE WAP,. THE SIEGE OF PARIS. A BALLOON VOYAGE. M. Tissandier has sent to the Constitutionnel the account of his adventures. " I left Paris on the 30th of September. The Post Office Director gave me 100 kilogrammes of private letters. Some carrier pigeons were placed in my balloon, and I started at a moderate rate. Some seconds afterwards I was struck at the appearance of the environs of Paris ; Versailles, that joyous place, was trampled down by enemies. I threw some printed procla m ations in Ger man in the midst of the soldiers, and they replied by a fusilade which could not reach me in my elevated regions. The sun was hot, and my balloon remained suspended in the air. In gliding smoothly along I had the most pleasing view of the country opened before me. The wind led me in a westerly direction, and I passed over the forest of Rambouillet. I saw some Prussians even there, but beyond Meudon I did not see any. My passage over the woods had considerably cooled the gas in the balloon, and soon after perceiving Dreux I came nearer to the ground and asked some peasants who came up if there were any Prussians near. " No, no," they replied. Thereupon I endeavoured to descend, and was assisted by the inhabitants of Dreux. I took my dispatches to the post by myself, and then proceeded to Tours by a special train. All along the route I was questioned as to the state of things in Paris, and the reports I gave of its courage and spirit seemed to awaken the greatest enthusiasm. A great number of shops still remain open, and the promenades are covered with soldiers 2,:oing through exercise. The cafes are elosed at half-past ten, and by eleven the great city seems to be asleep ; but in reality it is always watching. Certain kinds of food are .scarce in Paris. There is no more butter, no more fruit, and soon meat will be a very rare article. Corn will not fail, how. ever, and so long as the Parisians have bread the Prus. sians will be kept at a distance. When the provinces shall send their forces to harrass the Prussian lines, our enemies will bs between two fires, but let the dwellers in the provinces remember that they cannot save France unless they save Paris." FROM A BESIEGED RESIDENT. Since the failure of the mission of AL Jules Favre, and the exorbitant demands which were then put forward by Count Bismarck, both Moderates and Ultras have unitedly supported the men who are in power. It is felt by all that if Paris is to be defended with any prospect of success, there must be absolute union among its defenders. The . De puties of Paris are not thought perhaps to be endowed with any very great administrative ability, but Mr. Lincoln's proverb respecting the difficulty of a person changing his horse whilst he is passing over a brook, is acted on, and so long as they neither commit any signal act of folly, nor attempt to treat with Prussia either for a peace or a capitulation, I think that no effort will be made to oust them. They are, I believe, doing their best to organise the defence of this city, and if they waste a little time in altering the names of the streets, and publishing manifestoes couched in grand and bom bastic phrases, it must be remembered that they have to govern Frenchmen, who are fond of this spe cies of nonsense. With respect to the military situation, the soldiers of all sorts are kept well together, and appear to be under the command of their officers. The National Guard, although it still grumbles a little, does its, duty on the ramparts. The soldiers of the line are kept outside the town. The Mobiles have passed many hours in drill during the last ten days; they are orderly and well conducted, and if not soldiers already, are a far more formidable force than they were at the com mencement of the siege. Whether they will ever become available for operations in the open field is, perhaps, questionable, for their regiments would probably be thrown into confusion if called upon to act together. Within the line of the forts, however, there is no reason to suppose that they will not fight well. The forts are manned by sailors, who are ex cellent artillerists, and the guns are formidable ones. On the Seine there is a flotilla of gunboats. The city has food and ammunition for two months. Paris, therefore, ought to be able to hold out for these two months. She has her own population, a large portion of which consists of the working men, who have never been backward in fighting. The provinces have been drained of their best blood, which has been brought up to the capital. All that remains of the French army is here. At the lowest average the armed force in Paris amounts to 450,000 men, and there are about 500,000 more from which this force can recruit itself. If then the capital doe's not hold out for two months, she will deserve the contempt of the world— if she does hold out for this period, she will at least have saved her honour and to a certain extent the military reputation of France—Daily News' Letter, LIVING IN PARIS. " Dining at my cheap restaurant," Bays the Paris cor respondent of the Poet, "I strongly suspect my islet de beeuf to be horse, and know that my cucumber is at least turnip, if nothing worse. Probably there are still favouxed spots in Paris, where every delicacy of every season is still to be found, but few indeed are those who can pay their footing there. We are are all as poor as church mice. Ready money is a thing that scarcely exists, and there are many very smart young men who cannot muster 50fr. to keep them through the siege. The Government has extended the blessed system of credit by decreeing that nobody need pay their rent when it is due, which is so far a relief to all but those who have rents to receive. One can get trusted, too, as a rule at one's restaurant when once known, but these little reliefs go but a short way after all, and the Parisians have set themselves, as gaily as is their wont, to be poor with grace, and to pare and economise in every direction. As for the few English who are left, their only resource, when all the cash is gone, will be to take possession of the two months' supply of provisions which Lord Lyons has left behind him in the cellars of the Embassy. They can excuse themselves by the reflection that he would be certain to ask them to dinner if he were still here." THE FORTS OP PARIS. The fortifications of Paris, which were begun in 1841, under the direction of Marshal Dodd de la Brunerie, with whom were General Valliant, Colonel Chabaud-Latour, and others, continued until the close of Louis Phillippe's reign. The enceinte of Paris is composed of a military street, a rampart, a foss, a glacis, and has not less than ninety-four fronts. To give an idea of the strength of this it is sufficient to say that Metz, one of the strongest places in France, has only twenty fronts. On the left bank there are twenty-six bastions. The enceinte begins at the western extremity of the park at Bercy, and extends in a straight line to Gentilly, where it turns in a kind of horseshoe, and then resumes a rectangular direction to Montrouge, makes an angle and goes right on to the Seine, facing the middle of the Point-du-Jour, after having surrounded Austerlitz, Petit-Gentilly, Vangirard, and Grenelle. Nearly a thousand metres more downwards brings us to the enceinte on the right bank. After surrounding Point-du- Jour, it goes along the Bois de Boulogne, as far as Sablouviile, formed by the avenue of Clichy and the avenue of Saint Ouen, At this point it follows a straight line to the Canal of Saint Denis, where it turns to the south-east. When it reaches the canal of Ourcq it runs from north to south ; when near St. Gervais two of its fronts resutne the direc tion from west to east, but at the height of ilomainville it abandons that direction to descend in a straight line to St. Maud 6, where it makes an angle, and finishes at the Seine, just opposite the bridge where the enceinte on the left bank begins, The right bank has 68 fronts, The enceinte allows a passage for all roads, but at the present moment most of the thoroughfares are blocked up by the defence works. The strength of the enceinte, which is in itself very great, is at least doubled by the detached forts which are constructed around the capital. These are sixteen In number ; four of them — the Fort of la Briche, the North or Double Crown Fort the Spectacles of Stains, and the East Fort—cover St. Denis. A little lower down, near the Amsterdam road, and not far from the village of Aubervilliers, is the fort of that name, which seems at this moment to be the most threatened. Continuing to descend towards the south, between Pantin and the St. Gervais meadows, we come to the Fort of Romainville, a small hexagon, pro tected by an external work, which increases its strength. The three forts which follow it, those of Noisy, Rosny, and Nogent, are quadrilaterals, like the East Fort, but they, also like the front opposite to Paris, are covered by advance works. Near the confluence of the Marneand the Seine, in a very strong position, stands the Fort of Charenton, commanding the Italian road. It is a penta gon. On the left bank of the Seine there are only five forts—those of Ivry and Arcueil, two pentagons ; those of Montrouge and De Vanves, two little quadrilaterals, and that of Issy, a fort with five bastions. Finally, behind the Versailles railway, on a celebrated height, stands the most important of the Paris forts, that of Mont Val4rien, situated out of the reach of vrobable attack, it is intended to protect arrivals from the west, Fund to sexy° as place of security for arms and ammunition. - DISTRIBUTION OF THE IRON CROSS. The special correspondent of the 'Daily News at the Headquarters of the Crown Prince of Prussia, writing on the 27th September, remarks :—There was a very interesting ceremony yesterday in the courtyard of the Palace, at the base of the statue of Louis XI V. It was arranged that the Crown Prince should here dis tribute the decoration of the Iron Cross to some fifty officers and men who had distinguished themselves` in the war. A grand parade took place at ten o'cloc7c, and the troops were drawn up in close columns facing the central point, where stood his Highnes.;, surrounded by a brilliant staff. All the open space was glittering with Prussian bayonets - and brass-topped helmets. ' Nothing could be more perfect than the " dressing " of the lines, nor more rigid than the ' attitude of the soldiers at attention. They seemed , almost as immovable as the • colossal figures of famous Frenchmen which flank the approach to the statue of King Louis. Each man who was to receive a decoration stepped firmly up to the Crown Prince, stood like a rock whilst the honour was bestowed, and went firmly back to his place, as though ho had gone through the same manoeuvre every day of, his life. The Prince addressed a few stirring words to those assembled, and proposed a cheer for his Majesty the King. Out flashed his sword, and was waved above his head as he led the hearty shout which greeted his father's name. Yen cannot imagine a better effect, in its way, than this burst of loyal enthusiasm in the hitherto silent mass, with the tall, bearded Prince leading the cheer, sword in hand. The voices rose loud and strong, and the music •of the military bands swelled proudly forth in the first few bars 'of the National Anthem. Then there was silence again, and then the Palace walls echoed for the second time to voices and music when the general commanding the division proposed a cheer for his Highness the Crown Prince. Those poor wounded men in the splendid saloons on the other side of the must have heard the shouts of their comrades who were gathered round the statue of King Louis. The crowd of French inhabitants beyond the gates could not only hear the shouts, but were presently able to see with what precision and closeness their invaders could he moved. No sooner had the Prince and his staff passed clown the Avenue de Paris towards the Prefecture than a compact column of infantry and artillery, of hospital assistants, and dismounted dragoons, appeared on the Place '.d'Armes, ready for march ing past. We blame ourselves in England for not altogether abandoning this practice. It were certainly fatal to be able to do nothing else. But here came the soldiers of rough bivouacs and hard fighting, as swift and steady in their march past as our oldest martinet could desire. The Prince sat .on horseback opposite his quarters for the troops to pass him, and they went by in such order as would have done credit to battalions devoted to no other exercise. Their step is somewhat too sharply regular for French taste. Yet, though the crowd had its smile and its whispered joke at the expense of the invader, there were approving nods when some Prussians had passed in especially perfect order. The crowd could not warm into friendliness, but it was not insensible to the excellent condition of its foes. ldir; pected ral c sentry. visions. sen,cs. night, sion. TEE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCrOBER 6, :870. Klan corps d'armee had been advancing either on Mantes, Rouen, or Orleans, turns out correct. In my excursions towards Paris, a few days ago, I met only Uhlans, dragoons, now and then a battery of artillery and a few artillerymen, but no large body of troops ; and it turns out now that the large army advancing on Weans was composed of 600 t 6700 troopers, and at Mantes about double that nambek These soldiers were on their campaign of requisition, and have been checked by the well-organised movements of defence of- the departments. When Prussian corps d'armis.e really advance in these provinces it will require all the strength of the forces now organising to stop their . course. Serious engagements will take place, and we shall not hear of the sudden appearance and disappearance of the enemy as we do now. About one hundred thousand men are already assembled at Lyons. These troops include a good propor tion of regular soldiers from Algeria, and many old ones. They are under the command of General Mazue; but the state, of affairs seems to be far from satisfactory in that large city. The Municipality and the Prefect of the Republique, M. Challemet-Latour, have declared...officially their want of confidence in General Mazino and other mili tary chiefs having command in the department of the Rhone. They have applied to the Government in Tours for full powers to prepare an efficient defence, and for that they ask the right to appoint or dismiss the offi cers, and all other powers in the hands of the Minister of War or of the Government of .National Defence. It is useless to make any reflection on such demands. If the Government at Tours is weak enough to grant any request of that kind, if some other large centres of popula tion join in the same policy, the Prussians will have soon a new and powerful ally in that partial anarchy.—Standard Correspondent.

August 30.—fade arrive at Beaumont, a hilly and dy country, at four a.m. The men are utterly ex hausted by the march, by hunger, and, above all, by want of sleep. There is no possibility of bringing order into the ranks. The presence of the generals was indispensable, but none of them was to be seen on the spot, and the soldiers fall down asleep, without guards, without a single The sight was most lamentable. When the ruing came, and the men were at breakfast, a lively fusillade was opened from- the wood, some four hundred metres-distant. - A couple of minutes pass' in consideration as to what it can mean, when sevezal shells, falling into the very heart of the camp, loa ye no more doubt about the matter. The whole camp seizes its arms in disorderly fashion ; the officers do their best to give some kind of organisation to the first move ments ; the artiriery is soon at work, and the battle begins. But a tremendous panic arises in the village, crowded with unarmed soldiers, who gone from the camp in search of pro- A frantic rush begins in the di rection of Mouzon ; and the flying mass would naturally have drawn with it a part of the troops, already in line on this side of the village it the officers had not intervened, pistols in hand. The generals, just as much surpised as the troops, presently come to their They take the command ; the retreat is gradually organ:zed, and on reaching rather elevated ground we come out from tinder the intolerable fire. The can nonading begins to be less intense ; and a discussion arises between General de Failly and his chef d'etat major, General Besson, with reference to the advisability of changing our position, The latter uses very strong language in support of his opinions. The position remains the same. Ten minutes after this discussion, and the Prussians appear on her left flank and open fire on us at a distance of 1,000 metres. Such is the morale of our troops now that at the very first shot from this side infantry and artillery break front and begin to run away —the former into the wood, the latter into the plain close to it, leaving several guns in the impracticable part of the ground. However, the batteries soon regain another hill, open fire, and begin to protect a hale the retreat of the infantry, which takes the direction of Monzon. It is six o'clock, and we see on the hei;tht the Seventh Corps appearing on the left flank of the Prussians, while a part of the Twelfth Corps was found by us in the plain to which we were rush ing. These two corps now take our place' in toe struggle with the enemy. The enemy bed, however, already established his batteries, some fifty guns strong, on the same hill where a few moments ago our artillery stood. These batteries send death into all the lines of the newly arrived forces, and compel them to retreat. The Seventh Corps retires to the position whence it came to our aid, while the Twelfth takes the direction of the bridge of Mouzon, the cavalry and artillery having, happily enough, found a ford in the river, so that the bridge is mainly left for the use of infantry. But still what con fusion prevails ! What a lamentable spectacle It is the last rout of the day ; and it is the more painful for our corps because we witness it in the mere capacity of on 'lookers. Soon in the background of the sad picture rise s to heaven a large black cloud of smoke. The fire has commenced which must level to the ground the unhappy village of Mouzon. We see wear now in all its cruel reality. Such was the day of the 30th, which will never be forgotten by _me, and the result doh must be a sufficient punishment for the general with whom rests the responsibility of the disaster. But what is our corps to do now? Is it to camp on its position, or to move ? If it is to move, in what direction ? Marshal MacMahon encamped at a distance of several miles from us with the First Corps, which reached its position towards the evening, is too far off to be asked for instructions. The generals of the three corps decide, therefore, that they will start at once, and the soldiers are to march again all Thus, after several days' fatigue, we have two consecutive nights of marching, with a day's desperate fighting between, and with no other refreshment than the bread distributed at Baumont. We are retiring in the direction of Sedan. Fearful and miserable night Our men fall asleep by the side of the road, and to awaken them is impossible. Towards two a.m., amid the obscurity of a dark night, we meet on the junction of two reads the First and the Twelfth Corps. They left their positions at midnight, and are also marching towards Sedan. Here disorder reaches its climax. Men, horses,-guns, and ammunition waggons are almost heaped upon one another in confu- No possibility of moving, no possibility of seeing any thing ; and, notwithstanding this, almost dead silence reigns .over this enormous incoherent mass. A terrible silence it was, of which one shudders to think. Male- diction upon those who are responsible for all this !" 1 FAILU4E OF THE GERMANS AT BITOHE A telegram in the Daily News from Hamburg, dated Tuesday, says : The siege of Bitche was taken in hand in the middle of August. On the 24th four 60-pounder mortars and five batteries of four 12-pounder breech-loaders each commenced bombarding the fortress. On the 4th of September there was a sortie against the besiegers, who consist of the 4th Wurtembcrg and two battalions of the Bth Bavarian. The sortie was repeated on the 11th and 29th, in the direction of Freudenberg and Saspelscheidt. These at tempts were completely repulsed with small loss to either side. From the 11th to the 20th there was a severe bombardment, which dismounted several cannon, destroyed about 120 houses and the castle on the fort. After firing 20,000 shot the besieging batteries be came disabled and were removed to Germersheil. The Wuitembergers were also withdrawn, the Bavarians left for the purpose of observing On F r iday,Saturday, and Monday the garrison made sorties, with cavalry and infantry, protected by cannon, and destroyed butteries and farms where the i besiegers' outposts lay. The fort s it perpendicular rock, like Gibraltar, 200 feet high, casemated, and nearly lin pregnable. The garrison consists of 2,000 men. The peasantry speak German, but there is an intensely French sentiment among them. The Paris Ofikial Journal contain an article in praise of horseflesh. This is significant. The Czar of Russia has conferred upon Baron von Moltke the Order of Saint George, the highest military decoration of Russia. The Russian War-office, despite assertions to the con trary, has undoubtedly issued new regulations calculated to increase the number of available troops in the field. It is said that part of the army of General Werder, now relieved from the task of besieging Strasbourg-, is to besiege Lyons. • General Bourbaki has returned to France, and the Prussian authorities will allow him to re-enter Metz, whence he was summoned by a pretended message from the Empress. —Post. Switzerland is preparing against eventualities. Bodies of Federal troops have passed through Geneva during the last few days to establish themselves on the French frontier. The town of Schlestadt has changed the street Rue de l'Empereur into Rue de Strasburg, and the other towns of Franoe are requested to honour the heroic defence of that city by following the example thus set. A son of Count Bismarck paid a visit to Crepy, and in the course of conversation admitted that the Prussian armies intended to take possession of the French sheep, cows, and oxen. " What are we to live on ?" asked a bystander. "On fruit and vegetables," was the reply. A correspondent of the Daily News says that the Orleanists are very actively at work. They have their intimate connections with the French rulers of the day, and work for the elevation of the Due d'Aumale to the Presidency of the French Republic. The Prussian Ministry of "War has established a special department, during the war, for the purpose of giving information as to the captured French officers. Letters of inquiry from their friends will be replied to, and personal inquiries will be answered daily at the office in Berlin between 9 a.m. and . 3 p.m. The Eberle states that a diplomatic communication has been made to it, from which it appears that the Pope, at whose doors General Cadorna, placed a guard of gen darmes, "to watch over his safety," is in reality a pri soner, and General Cadorna has warned Cardinal Anto nelli that he will oppose the departure of•the Pope. New Treaties of Carlsbad are beginning to be appre hended in Gerriaany, and people are calling to mind that in 1820, five years after the Congress of Vienna, all the sovereigns combined to establish a political regime, abso lutely opposed to all liberal tendencies. The continued imprisonment of Dr. Jacoby, despite all the protests of the press and of public opinion, has produced a very bad effect, and the Journal of Frankfort plainly says that the spirit of reaction this time has shown shameful haste. The Free-shooters indulge in strange frcal, of costume and accoutrements. One c Garibaldian shirt and trousers, with gaiter whole costume is black from top to toe, an with a black flag, on which aro a skull and ci in the way wears the R, only the they march white ! This sensational standard, they sa: their mission, which is, as they receive no q. Is -bones in is typical 0: .r, to give The Mayor of a Commune in the environs of Paris, knowing that the inhabitants were determined not to resist the Prussians, adopted several precautionary mea sures. He advised each person separately not to attempt a useless resistance, and he then made A collection to buy brandy and various provisions, which he placed at the Mahie4, to offer the Prussians on their arrival, to put them in good temper. A few days ago a very pretty, elegantly-dressed lady came to a commissary of police in Paris to complain that she had been imprisoned because she wore man's clothes. She had, she said, joined the artillery as a - gunner, and intended to fight on the walls. Her ordinary clothes would be burdensome toan artillerist; she therefore begged for permission to dress herself like a man. The Commis sary promised to do his best to have her request complied with. A correspondent of the Daily News says : u in pro portion as the strength of Paris for defence ha become more clear, and the care with which it has been provisioned better known, the likelihood of bombardment has in creased. Unwilling as is the King to destroy so beautiful a city, he will certainly destroy it rather than return baffled into Germany. There is less hope in blockade now that we have details of the vast preparations to feed the garrison and inhabitants." M. de la Gueronnibre, the former ambassador of France at Constantinople, has written a full account of his arbi trary arrest, and the seizure of his papers at Marseilles to M. Jules Favre, which is published in several of the French papers. M. de la Gueronniere was dragged from his bed and carried off to prison by an armed crowd with out any attempt at a justification. He was released the next day, but a large sum of money taken from him was not restored. He does not ask for reprisals, however, thinking the present moment too serious for personal considerations. According to the official account the number of Ger man sick and wounded registered by the proper depart ment is 54,450. These soldiers were received in 1,188 hospitals and ambulance reports, 48 being military hos pitals and ambulances, and the remainder those established by societies and private persons. The convalescents who have returned to their regiments, or have been sent into the interior, number 4,597. The wounded who were discharged cured, including a few invalided soldiers, num ber 3,868. 518 wounded and sick have died in the hos pitals. The Germans have performed the uncommon feat of constructing and working in France a railway nearly twenty-five miles long. When the fortress of Metz interrupted the railway from Saarbruck through Pont-d- Mousson to Paris and by Nancy to Strasburg, General Moltke, on the 20th of August, directed the construction of a railway fourteen miles • long from Metz to unite the Metz and Saarbruck with the Metz and Paris line. This railway leads from Pont-4-Mousson to Remilly, on the Saarbruck and Metz line, and it was prosecuted by night and day so actively that, in spite of the partially very difficult country it had to pass through, it was opened a few days ago. The French Provisional Government is doing a great deal in the way of economy. The pensions allowed to dramatists and other writers who have no actual need of them are being cancelled. Councillors of State, Prefects, and Sub-Prefects are all to have their salaries reduced. The members of the present GovernMent draw no pay, but, with an eye to the future, they are reducing the salaries of Ministers to 50,000 f., and those of Under- Secretaries to 15,000 f. It is calculated that these reduc tions, added to the saving effected by the suppression of the Civil List and of the Senate, shew a total diminution of 50 millions of francs on the former Budget. FOUR PALACES.—The four palaces of St. Cloud, St. Germain, Meudon, and Versailles have as different a fate at this moment as their recent histories are different from one another. There is a ,hospital in Versailles, with the strange contrast of truckle-beds upon the floors of gilded saloons that are full of pictures. But beyond this temporary use the palace remains much as so many of us can remember it—a great show place, very large, very splendid, and somewhat dull. It is out of all immediate danger, and may be its old self again three months hence. Then comes St. German, the partly-rebuilt, partly-ruinous home of the exiled Stuarts. This, too, is out of immediate danger, and, though not yet occupied by wounded men, is under the red-cross flag. Both of them, Versailles and St. Germain, have been fortunate in standing out of the way of the siege. It is- far otherwise with Meudon and St. Cloud. The luxurious abode of Prince Napoleon and the favourite retreat of his cousin the Emperor have been placed in the very front of the battle. The woods round Meudon are held by the Ger man outposts, the garden is destroyed by what the French did to entrench it. The house is full of soldiers on outpost duty. Beds, mattresses, chairs, are tumbled . about in utter confusion; the dining-room of so many banquets is used as an impromptu bivouac. So also at St. Cloud there is watching by day and night. Skirmishers are here more active, an bullets whistle through the trees. The boudoir of the Empress, the playgrounds of the' Imperial Prince are occupied by men who at any moment may be shot from across the Seine; a strange scene indeed for St. Cloud. —Daily News Correspondent. HISTORY OF STRASBURG.—Strasburg was for the first time taken by force on the 27th of September 1870. The surrender of 1681 happened only through threats against the toi,vn, which, judging itself safe, had disarmed itself by the dismissal of the regular Swiss Militia, and could not reckon on the help of the German Empire. The founder of the Strasburg fortress was Daniel Speckel, Speckle, or Specklin, of whom there is a life by Louis Schnee gan in the Alsatian new year's book of 1847. He was born at Strasburg in 1536, and was at first a mou ld cutter and silk embroiderer, but in 1555, when he was on his travels at Vienna, he devoted his whole attention to building. After long roamings in the north of Europe he settled at Vienna in 1561, and entered the service of the imperial architect, Selman In 1576 he entered the service of Duke Albert of Bavaria, and executed buildings at Ingolstadt, but in 1577 he was called to his native town, and after he had prepared a wooden model, which was placed in the town library, and has p ro b a bl y b een burnt with it, he was commissioned to erect the fortifications. In 1589 he completed the task, and di e d i n th e same year. Vauban built the citadel, and subsequently outworks were added. As often as France has wanted dominion on the Rhine (1688-97, 1703, 1733, 1796, &c.) the outlet for attack on Germany was strengthened by the fortifiCar tion of Kehl. Kehl, indeed, sustained a two months' siege by the Austrians in the winter of 1796-7. The Rhine fortress, scarcely accessible in consequence of its being surrounded by water, was first invested by the Russians and Badeners on the 7th of January, 1814. A cannonade only ensued once on the 14th of FebrUary, and was un successful. On the 13th of April the entry of the Allies into Paris, and the deposition of Napoleon, was first known in Strasburg ; on the 14th the white flag of the Bourbons was hoisted, on the 16th there was an armis tice, on the 2nd of May Kehl was razed, and on the sth the blockade of Strasburg was raised, the besiej ing army settling itself in the neighbourhood. in consequence of Napoleon's return from Elba in 181 5 the garrison and citizens of Strasburg were among his first supporters. In the last days of June, consequently after the second deposition of the Emperor (June 22), the French army under General Rapp after several engage. ments was shut up in Strasburg by the CroWn Prince Of Wtirtemburg. On the 4th of July the Wurtembergers were replaced by Austrians and Badeners. A sortie by General Rapp on the 9th of July against Hansbergen cost many men on both sides. This was the last deed of arms on the 22d of July an armistice was concluded, and on the 30th the Bourbon dynasty was recognised by the garrison. On the 6th of September the garrison were disarmed and dismissed, and on the 15th of September the blockade was raised. ADVENTURES OF A REPUBLIC AN PREFECT.- - The Republican Government appointed M. Valentin, who represented Strasburg in 1848, Prefect of th e Department of the Lower Rhine, and desired him to manifest hie patriotism by obtaining admission to Strasburg with the least possible delay. He obeyed his instructions, and entered Strasburg by an indirect'and difficult road. Dis guised as a peasant, and availing himself of his acquaint ance with the German tonge , he made friends with Prussian soldiers quartered in Bischeim. From them he obtained full particulars regarding the position and cha racter of the works erected between that village and the city. He remarked that at one o'clock the fire of the besiegers was weakest, and the vi g ilance of their sentries most relaxed. Even a siege had to be suspended while the soldiers dined. Passing through the Prussian lines between one and two o'clock on the 22d of September, he arrived in safety at the moat. Leaping into it, he swam across. The French soldiers fired at him re peatedly, but their bullets always missed their mark. He called out to them to permit him to land, and to arrest him on landing. Their reply took the form of jeers, supplemented by bullets. At last he reached a spot near one of the gates, where he was sheltered from the fire directed from the wall. Apin and again he begged the soldiers to take him prisoner, and carry him before the Governor Uhrich. Finally they consented. When brought before the governor, he turned up the sleeve of his shirt, and took therefrom the official document containing his appointment as Prefect. Elie title to the post was at once recognised, and on the even ing of the same day he issued a proclamation wherein his assuption of his post was announced, and the Republic proclaimed. Before the entry of the Germans he escaped from the city which he had entered at the peril of his life. Daily News Correspondent.. THE IMPERIAL MANIFESTO.—The Independance Beige is very severe upon the Emperor's letter. alreadY published. It says : We have asked ourselves if it Was not an apocryphal document. We cannot understand, in fact, how there should exist such relations as it discloses between the man whose signature it bears and a Govern ment which respects itself ; nor, above all, how this man should receive every day, as this letter says he does, inforMation direct from the King of Prussia on the situ ation of affairs and the progress of military operations. Meanwhile the thing displays such a cynicism, it offers so ignobly to purchase by means of a mutilation of France the'alliance of Germany, in order to take a joint advan tage of Europe, that it must r ea lly emana t e f rom th e ad venturer and visionary to whom France owes the capitu lation of Sedan. It would seem, then, that disgrace the most merited and the remembrance of that 'ng crime of nineteen years which is called the Empire, and which is to-day so completely unveiled, does not weigh upon him sufficiently to extinguish in his miserable mind the dream of a return to Paris, and of a new escalade of the throne of France with the aid of Prussian bayonets. If Germany could be senseless enough to help him, eight days would not elapse, to a certainty, before she would we him disappear for ever before the vengeful blast which would be raised against him by the whole of that . g reat nation which he has covered with disgrace after outrage ously robbing it. THE EMPEROR EXAMINING ARTILLERY.—The Emperor Napoleon the other day expressed a wish to have a thorough examination of the Prussian field guns, and a battery was at once brought out for his inspection. The Times correspondent says walked right round and through the battery, putting a question in German here and there to the captain, and praising the horses for their strength and general excellence. The first gun was then more closely examined in all its details of construction, and the regular service of loading and dis charging gone through, the non-commissioned officer in the special command of the gun calling. out the kind of charge, the distance of the feigned object, and the points of elevation. These operations were often interrupted by questions put by the Emperor, who seemed to be anxious to examine even the most insig nificant parts of the gun. Once he tried to lift the gun' carriage by the handle, which on directing the gun is used by the marksman, but finding the weight rather too heavy for one hand, he tried with both, and, not succeed ing, said simply "Es ist sehr schwer." He convinced himself also personally of the' perfect ease with which the cannon is elevated or lowered by means of a wheel in connection with a supporting screw. After all had been gone through, the Emperor gave his opinion that the exercise of the men, the quick ness in loading, and the quality of horses were much superior to the artillery of France ; but at the same time he expressed his belief that the construction of the gun was too much encumbered with ingenious and delicate contrivances. THE GERMAN LEADERS.—The London correspon dent of the Mmichester Guardian writes :—Rumours , however, find their way through private corresondence and otherwise of increased impatience on the p part of the Crown Prince of Prussia to have the sax' guinary account brought to a close. Even the hard and arbitrary nature of his father is said to have winced terribly on the last and greatest occasion of his " wonderful luck." An eye-witness of the scene has described him during the latter part of the day at Sedan as greatly agitated by the spectacle of horror around him' As the doomed host gave way Count Bismarck ru bbed his hailds and muttered a few words of exultation. The veteran Moltke, seated on a camp stool with a map of the game on his knees remained wholly absorbed in the exe cution of his plans and the success of his combinations, occasionally speaking, as if to himself, when a wreath of smoke hung longer than usual over a distant bend of the hills. " They must have come up by this time," in allu sion to some column or squadron which had had its orders in the morning to be at a given point at a given hour. And it looked in the words of him who watched the im perturbable strategist gazing at his chart of destruction 2 as if he were some prophet wat c hi ng th e s l ow unro lli ng o f the fate he had foreknown. Moltke's prescience and premeditation have come to be regarded with 0 . sort of wonder and awe among the legions whom he and he alone has moved at will on the stupendous chess board. The King who has perhaps seen more of hint during the last two months than any other person is completely enthralled by his infl uence , and implicitly' carries out his small es t biddi ng . B u t it is understood that in political matters the great General does not interfere. AFFAIRS AT LYONS. A letter from Geneva to the Indepcndance .De je gives some late news of Lyons. On the 29th, at break of day, the Prefect was still a prisoner, though the other auth o rities had been released on the preceding evening. The Prefect was detained in the Council Chamber by some excited individuals, who threatened to maltreat him. The Garde National shrunk from beginning a con flict when the beating of guns was heard, and the 4th battalion came up at quick step. Then was repeated the , scene which I witnessed on the 15th of May, 1848, at Paris when., the Hotel de Ville, invaded by the officials of the revolutionary Government, resounded with the trumpets of Grinard's company of the National Guard, and every one asked eagerly which side the new arrivals would take. What relief was felt when Guinard and his artilery shouted "Vive la Constituante." The victory was won. It was the same thing here. In the midst of the general emotion 3,000 resolute men, the Red Crosses, as they are called at Lyons, flung themselves on the rail ings of ,the Hotel de Ville, and took possession of the place, shouting "Vive la Rdpublique 1" " Vive the Lyon nese Municipality 1" " Vive Universal Suffrage 1" The triumph of order was complete. After the arrest of the ringleaders, the Prefect, released by the Red Crosser:4, passed the National Guard in review, and was received with indescribable enthusiasm, which was increased by the news that a despatch from Tours had invested him with full civil and military powers. The Lyonnese have been greatly discontented owing to the obstacles put in the way of all defensive measures by the somewhat formal and routine military administration. -A proclamation from the prefect, M. Challemel Lacour, was soon after issued, and there was general rejoicing and enthusiasm. It was resolved that if eufficient workmen were not forthcoming for the fortifications, all the inhabi tants of the town, rich and poor, would work in turn at them. The foreign element played an important part in these disturbances. General Cluseret, who is no longer a Frenchman, was the chosen leader of the insurrection, and the Russian, Bakonnine, the cosmopolitan instigator of all social disorder, was remarked at the head of the bands who invaded the Hotel de Ville. He was arrested and sent to join his coadjutors, Cluseret and Seignes, in prison. Lyons is the second town in France, and exercises an important influence on this part of the coun try, which for several reasons escapes from the influence of Paris. Lyons is, in fact, the political capital of the South, Marseilles and Bordeaux being chiefly com mercial. When I arrived at Lyons on the 27th September I was surprised at the tranquillity of the city, and the union perceptible among all classes. The next day there was some disturbance, but merely of a passing kind. The people understood that all questions of internal policy must be adjourned until the Prussians are disposed of, and the Gardes Nationales themselves have beers very energetic in support of order. A letter from the workmen's delegates, who made the demonstration on the 28th, has been published, expressing their regret at having been misled. A PANIC AT MANS. A letter from Argentan (Orne) to the France vividly describes the difficulties of transit. " Wherever I go," says the writer, " I am stopped by the absolute impos sibility of approaching Paris. The Orleans line goes no longer to Etamps, the Mans line no longer goes to Chartres. One cannot get coaches, the drivers will not venture where the railway does not run. There is no other resource but to go on foot. You have no idea of the accumulation of luggage which encumbers the station of Mans. Sixty waggons have been waiting to be unloaded for eight days. There are trunks for all directions, and the employes do not know where to begin. This accumulation dates back to the panic of Tuesday, when the news spread that the Prus sians were advancing simultaneously ou Touraine fa - id Normandy. The apprehension that the last means of communication with the south would be shortly cut off brought such an avalanche of travellers to the railway that the officials were obliged to give up registering their luggage, and put off sending it till later." PREPARATIONS IN THE WEST OF FRANCE. The National Defence continues its salutary progress in the departments of the West of France. The success ful engagement at Mantes on Friday, resulting in the repulse of several hundred Prussians by the Franc-tireurs of Colonel Mocquard, the Gardes Mobiles, and the Garde Nationale of Reserve, will be soon repeated elsewhere, and other brave volunteers will follow that great example. All the other departments of France follow the movement. At Mons, Tours, ann Bourges the people are rising, and the Mobiles and volunteers as they arrive from the towns and villages are rapidly being organised. Some of them will soon co-operate with the army of the Loire, which is under the command of General de Lamotte Rouge. General Sol, 66 years of age, has the command of the 18th territorial Military division. He has under his chief command the following departments : —The Sarthe, with General de Negrier ; the Loire-et- Cher, with General Michaud ; the Vienne, with General de Rouvray. To him is entrusted the defence of the Government in Tours in case the enemy should approach. All the battalions of Gardes Mobiles from Brittany, • the South, from Lyons, who have already arrived in Tours in large numbers, will, under his immediate orders, form a corps of the army of the Loire, and co-operate with General de Lamotte-Ronge's army in defending the rivers and territories of the departments from the Loiret to the Yonne. Several generals of brigade are now at Tours, amongst them General P. de Chabron, Marti neau Descheney, just arrived from Africa, General de Bressules, General Veronique, &c. All of them are young, although experienced in military matters. They have distinguished themselves on many occasions. From the latest news it would appear that the Prussians have retreated from the neighbourhood of Orleans. They were making for Toury, Rambouillet, and Versailles. The panic at Orleans is now over, and the good folks of the place begin to think they ought to resist on a future occasion, It seems that my theory, that no Prus- A STORM AT SALT LAKE. A conflict is threatening. between the Mormons and the Government of the United States at Salt Lake. The Philadelphia correspondent of the Times writes :—" The President has sent out there a Governor who will 'en force the laws.' Thls Governor, Schaffer, on arriving at Salt Lake, justly concluded that the best way to begin enforcing the laws was to strip the Mormons of power, and consequently he issued proclamations appointing General Connor, of the army (the only officer whom the Mormons fear) commander of the Militia of Utah, giving him full power over that body, and orderinc , that on requisition from the United States Marshal General Connor shall furnish a posse. The moment a conflict of authority comes we may expect warn' work in Utah. Mormonism is not to rule as heretofore. All the arms and munitions of war are being collected by General Connor's subordinates." The marriage of the Viscount Massereene and Ferrard and Florence Elizabeth, only child of Major and the Hon. Mrs. Whyte Melville, was solemnised at St. Peter's Church, Onslow-gardens, South Kensington, on Tuesday. The service was full choral.
