THE Russian difficulty, which is now so seriously complicating the prospects of the future peace of Europe, has come to the front with nearly as startling a suddenness as marked the outbreak of the present Franco-German war. It was but a few weeks from the time when experienced diplomatists were rejoicing over the assured tranquility of the political horizon, till the " armed warriors met with hateful eyes" on the frontier line of France and Germany. Even so, though there have been portentuous rumours of Russia's military and naval preparations during the last few months, the issue of Prince GORTSCHAKOPP'S circular has taken the majority of our politicians by surprise. There was nothing to create grave apprehension in the fact that Russia had moved her men from ono part of her dominions to another, or that she was looking closely into the state of her arms and the condition of her fleet, at a time when all Europe was resounding with the clang of war. Austria, who, if she is forced into active hostilities, will unsheathe the sword most re luctantly, herself took care to increase the effi ciency of her army as soon as the great European conflict had begun. Her movements in this respect have, indeed, been attributed to a cherished scheme of reclaiming her German pro vinces should Prussia get worsted in the fight ; but if we look at home we shall acknowledge that the news of war immediately drew public attention to the condition of our armaments and the state of our troops. Yet the movement of Russia in flinging off the mask so abruptly and so entirely was not alto gether without warning. At intervals since the signing of the Treaty of Paris she has been making indirect complaints, and more than one of the signatories to the Treaty were well aware that she intended making some more active demonstration whenever circumstances favoured her. Count BEUST more than three years ago endeavoured to anticipate this movement by himself re-opening the much vexed Eastern question. In a circular dispatch addressed to the diplomatic agent. of Anstria, Baron BEUST in February, 1867, recapitu lated the arguments which he had employed at St. James and the Tuileries to obtain a revision of the Treaty of 1866. His professed object was to improve the position of the Christian subjects of the Porte, whose welfare inspired him with sudden interest. Russia could not be expected to join heartily in this European concert unless the fefters which restrained her freedom of action and wounded her national pride as a great State were removed. As a final argument, Count Beust, after the fashion of a lady's postscript, gently insinuates that, after all, the much-vaunted material guarantees are worthless, since they only hold good until the day on which Russia is in a position to re-establish a fleet on a neighbouring sea. According to the Tagblatt of Vienna, the Russian Ambassador in that city on com municating the circular which has just startled all Europe to Count BEUST, reminded him of ' this document of his own in 1867, in which the relaxation of the Black Sea clause was especially recommended. Count BEUST. not inaptly, replied that his own proposal referred to a Congress. Another account says that, on this re minder, the Chancellor of the Austrian Empire ob served, " If anybody should come into my house by the window, when he could enter without obstruc tion by the door, I should certainly attribute no good intentions to him, and receive him with no friendly respect." The German Press is as yet a little per plexed what course to take, but its sympathies with Russia are ill-concealed. The Cologne Gazette dis approves of the form of GonTSCHAKOFF'S Circular, but says plainly that Prussia will not take part in any steps against Bus sia. In a satirical manner it disposes of Count BEusfs threatened opposition, and en courages its readers not to be uneasy at the possibility of a general war. Count BEUST, it affirms, knows well enough that he can easily acquire the reputation of warlike firmness if England will co-operate. " People can make gold out of chaff with ifs and buts !" Notwithstanding all these efforts to explain away what is only too transparent, the several Cabinets of Europe are far from being reassured, and the gloom and anxiety which were already Weighing heavily on Europe, thanks to BISMARCK and NAPOLEON, are now inten sified by Prince GORTSCHAKOFF.

By a previous decision of the Spanish Cortes it was agreed that a clear majority of all the members of- the Chamber should be required in order to validate the election of a king. The total number of deputies actually elected is 345; a clear majority there fore would be 173. The Duke of Aosta gained 191 votes, or 18 more than the required total. Thirty-six deputies did not attend the sitting, and 120 either voted for some candidate other than the Duke, or gave a blank vote. The son of Victor Emmanuel is therefore legally elected King. But he can hardly be fully satisfied with the result. It is certain that some of the leaders who supported him are not. Something more is required for the election of a Ring than for the return of an ALP., and when 156 deputies out of 345 refuse their support to the Duke it can hardly be deemed that the choice is an enthusiastic one. Nevertheless, it will be much to the advantage of Spain if a settled Government be now secured, provided the Duke proves a wise ruler. THE NEW KING. The Duke of Aosta, King elect of Spain, is the second son of King Victor Emmanuel. The new King was born on May 30, 1845. He was married, in May 1867, to the Princess Maria, daughter of Prince Charles Emmanuel and the Countess de MtSrode, both of whom are deceased, the Ibrmer having died in 1864, and the latter in 1868. His Majesty has two sisters and one brother—the Princess Clotilda, married to Prince Napoleon ; the Crown Prince of Italy, Prince Humbert, married to the Hereditary Princess of Savoy ; and the Princess Maria, now Queen of Portugal. The young King has one son, the Prince Emmanuel, not quite two years of age. It was thought nom() time ago that the Duke of Aosta, would become King of Italy, Prince Humbert being of indifferent health; but the present heir to the Italian throne has now hin.self an heir. SHAKINESS ON CHANGE. The wild fluctuation in the stock markets caused by the unfavourable news from Russia well nigh equal the mad monetary freaks of those terrible July days. A. fall within a few days of 9 per cent. in Tur kish bonds, of 7 per cent. in Egyptian, and of 3 to 5 per cent. in Italian and other descriptions, indicates, in the opinion of the Time., the existuice of uncon trollable panic or of a previously most unhealthy condition of prices from the operations of over-san guine speculators. Consols have fallen within 4 and 5 per cent of the average maintained during the Cri mean War, and yet money is now abundant, and is likely to remain so. It is simply the old story. The com mercial effects of an outbreak itself are never so deadly as when the first announcement is made. Capitalists are reported to be largely influenced by the fear that as Russia has so barefacedly repudiated the treaty, she may repudiate numerous debts she has contracted with Englishmen. This fear is not well grounded. Russia is likely to want more loans. MR. CARLYLE ON THE WAR. Mr. Thomas Carlyle writes a long letter to the Times on the war. It is a vigorous argument in favour of the German claims, of the justice of taking some security against future aggression, of the folly of France refusing to acknowledge her defeat. Again says Mr. Carlyle, France should give up the two provinces. " There is no law of nature that I know of—no Hea ven's Act of Parliament whereby France alone of terrestrial beings shall not restore any portion of her plundered goods when the owners they were wrenched from have an opportunity upon them." It will not save the honour of France, in the opinion of the historian, to refuse paying for the glass she has voluntarily broken in her neighbour's window. " The honour of France can be saved only by the deep repentance of France, and by the serious determination never to do Eo again—to do the reverse of so for ever hence forth." Mr. Carlyle says nothing about the transferred populations. The state of his mind may be inferred from his con cluding sentence—" That noble, patient, deep, pious, and solid Germany should be at length welded into a nation and become Queen of the Continent, instead of vapouring, vainglorious, gesticulating, quarrelsome, restless, and over-sensitive France, seems to me the hopefullest public fact that has occurred in my time." We say nothing about the question between Alsace and Lorraine, but we do say that such a sentence as this is a disgrace to the able man who wrote it, and well calculated to put his countrymen to shame. It is such stuff as this, more than any weaknesses of military strength, that lowers England amongst nations. At the very time that Mr. Carlyle was slavishly adulating one nation and insulting another, the former "noble and pious" member of the European family was aiding Russia in directing a deadly blow against the honour and interests of Mr. Clarlyle's country. THE NEW GERMAN CONFEDERATION. According to the German papers, the prospects of the new Confederation, after a lengthened period of gloom, are looking brighter. The Carlsruhe Gazette, indeed, reports that on the 16th the treaty admitting Hesse to the new confederation was signed at Ver sailles. Wurtemburg lingers shivering on the brink, but it is confidently expected that the decision of Bavaria to join the Bund will determine the Stutt gard Government to the same course. And, what is very important, if accurate, the Frankfort Journal publishes a Munich tele gram to the effect that the difficulties with Bavaria will be arranged. It is only, how ever, by concession on the part of Prussia that this result is attained. The request that the command of the Bavarian army shall be committed to King William is abandoned. Bavaria retains the control of her forces; and in return yields the other points. NECESSARY INTERVENTION. It is to be hoped that Earl Granville has made, or will make, an application to Count Bismarck for the release of our unfortunate countryman, Mr. Worth, who is about to be tried by court-martial. Mr. Worth, probably tired of horseflesh, and not liking the prospect of rat-eating, committed the offence of attempting to escape from Paris, where he was shut up. He had some money, engaged a balloon, and sailed away. Shipwreck, caused by German bullets, brought him to the ground, and he was made a prisoner. And what is there criminal in this ? All that Mr. Worth at tempted was to run the blockade, and get away from a very disagreeable place. This is not a court-martial offence. Mr. Worth could not be a spy, for he had no intention of returning to Paris ; far from it, he was only too glad to get away. One correspondent is, indeed, assured that an, application at Head- Quarters on behalf of the British Government would at once have secured his release on parola. It is, therefore, all the more desirable that no delay should take place. TIIE VOLUNTEERS. Perhaps the volunteers may thank the revival of the Eastern Question for an encouraging movement in their favour which has just been resolved upon by Mr. Cardwell. The Secretary for War, finding that there is but a short period of time during the current year at the disposal of the officers and sergeants of the Volunteer Force to earn the special capitation allowance of R 2 10s. recently granted, has decided to extend the period during which the award may be earned from the 30th of November to the 31st of next March. There is no doubt that every little piece of goodwill shewn to the volunteer corps will not be lost on the service, which they themselves seem so anxious to uphold and to render worthy of commendation. ENGLISH VICTIMS OF TIM WAR. It would seem that there will, during the present war, arise the necessity for a Vietims' Fund meant especially for English sufferers, although we are not actually yet at war with any Power. Certain it is that in the manufacture of Chassepot cartridges at Birmingham three accidents, terrible in their nature, have occurred at one factory within the last few weeks. It is said the last two explosions at Messrs. Kynock's building were caused by the carelessness of boys in the way they forced cartridges from the machines. One would have thought that after the first warning boys and girls should either have been withdrawn from the cartridge making, or every means should have been taken to ensure caution. We are told that when the first cartridge exploded at each accident, the "flame was carried round the shed by means of small heaps of powder placed before the employ6s, until it reached a large heap when au alarming report, which was heard for miles around, followed." Can it be proper that children, for whose healths' sake we pass Factory kcts and other important legislative enact meats, should be permitted to be engaged daily in work fraught:with such terrible peril as this picture presents? The number of injured on Thursday was between t zrenty-five and thirty, and some fatal results by the disaster are anticipated. We are told that among the crowd ( f individuals in agony after the calamity was one old man, in whom the sense of pity pre dominated over that of pain. He refused to have his injuries attended to until the whole of . the younger sufferers had passed through the hands of the medical gentlemen. Ought not this old man's conduct to teach some lesson to the owners of the Birmingham ammunition factory ? GUILD OF LITERATURE AND ART. TLe approaching dissolution of the Guild of Literature and Art will be a matter of re gret to all literary or artistic persons. The Guild was established to " encourage life assurance and other provident habits among authors and artists, to render such . assistance to both as shall never com promise their independence, and to found a now institution where honourable rest from arduous labour shall still be associated with the discharge of congenial duties." The failure of the institution has been foreseen, very little interest having been manifested in its existence, save from its association with the founders and the well-known partiality of Dickens for the Guild. Perhaps the fundamental cause of failure was that in proceeding "on the plan of providing decayed literary men and artiste with residenbes erected for the .purpose," a very " proud and sensitive class" felt that they had extended to them a sort of eleemosy nary assistance. The Legislature will be asked to dissolve the institution, and to sanction the appro priation of the funds accruing from that and other sources to the foundation of one or more scholarships in literature and art. THE PERMISSIVE BILL. The criticism of the Times on the speech made by Mr. Ayrton at the People's Hall, London, has in duced Mr. Dawson Burns, of the United Kingdom Alliance, to address a letter to the leading journal. The Times intimated that hon. members trifled with the subject of the Permissive Bill, but Mr. Burns objects to this supposition, the organization which he represents being satisfied with their assurances of support and their presence in the division lobby with Sir Wilfrid Lawson. The opponents of the cause espoused by the Alliance must, he thinks, admit that such trifling with the question assumes a really serious aspect when 115 members vote and pair for the Bill, and when the majority against the measure is so far diminished "that only 31 votes stand between the second read izg and its rejection." Mr. Burns denies the azsertion that the total abstainers are the only persons who support the Permissive Bill, Ile points out that there is a considerable body other than the advocates of temperance, who see iu the measure an honest attempt to lay public sentiment, legally enforced, alongside of a great national evil. Mr. Burns protests emphatically against the charge that the Alliance subordinates questions of foreign and domestic policy to its favourite measure. The Alliance, he asserts, consists of men of all classes and parties, who are actively engaged in works of social advancement and reform, and who are quite as jealous as their neighbours of the honour and dignity of the realm. INFECTED BEDDING. At the Marlborough-street Police Court, a woman, named Maddigan, was charged with a breach of the Contagious Diseases Act. The case was of a very serious nature, and Mr. Knox, disregarding any plea of age or poverty on the part of the defendant, inflicted a fine of £5 and costs, with the alternative of one month's imprisonment. The woman had acted as nurse to . a man and his child, who were both suffering from small-pox. The child died, but the parent recovered, and in consideration of Maddigan's attention, gave her some bedding on which they had been laid. She sold the articles to a marine store dealer, and thus jeopardised the health of a whole district. Dr. Whitmon stated that washing would not disinfect such articles as those spoken of, and, as an instance, he mentioned that clean articles which had been placed with others which had been infected and washed, had spread scarlet fever. Two women, under a local Act, have been fined at Leeds for introducing into a family two mattresses on which fever patients had lain. One of the patients died. One woman was fined 40s. and costs, and the other 10s. and costs—insig nificant amounts when compared with the enormity of their offence. SCARLET FEVER. The prevalence of scarlet fever throughout England and Wales has led Dr. Lankester to make some observations explanatory of the means by which the disease might be checked. It is only, we are told, by intelligent apprehension on the past of the public who are infected, that any hope of the arrest of the disease may be ex pected. Dr. Lankester calls attention to the fact that in every body affected with scarlet fever there is produced poisonous matter, which, passing from the diseased body, is capable of generating the malady anew in others. The great point of im portance here is to know how long the " poison germs " of scarlet fever retain their vitality. Dr. Lan kester could mention several instances in which the poison lay dormant in woollen clothes for years without having lost its power of communication. From tie patients themselves, too, the danger of communicating the fever to others, lasts until the total desquamation of the cuticle whicli always follows that malady is completed. Attention to these two facts by the public, Dr. Lankester thinks, might result in hundreds of lives being saved weekly. By means of certain substances which are well known, poison germs can be killed in their birth. The isolation of patients from the first moment they become ill he recommends most strongly THE POLISH SOCIETY. The sixteenth anniversary of Lord Dudley Stuart's death was commemorated at a meeting of the Polish Historical Society. Major Szulczewski, who pre sided, expressed the grief of the society at the position of- France, their old ally. She had. always been their generous friend, and the guardian of their historical and literary treasures, and they regretted to see her plunged into the horrors of a conflict with Prussia. At the same time they could not shut their eyes to the fact that the political complication of the war had again brought the name of Poland before Europe; and they trusted that the neces sity of recognising an independent Poland would be acknowledged. The Russian press had lately urged its Government to effect a reconciliation with Poland, in older to dispose of the Eastern question. The difficulty was, who would oppose the masterly stroke of Bismarck's policy, which would transtlr the centre of gravity from St. Petersburg to Constanti nople in acknowledgment of Russia's present neu trality, and as a compensation for her loss in the Baltic ? At any rate, it would not be the policy of Poland to take the side of Russia. She must join the defenders of liberty in the West of Europe, whose destinies depend on England. THE CROWN LANDS. The returns of the Crown Lands show an improve ment in the financial arrangements for the year, since the receipts were £1,650 more and the expenditure £616 less than in the preceding. Such variations, however, do not make a very sensible difference when the net income is £360,134. Many curious items aro comprised in the list. The lease of the site and ruins . of the ancient castle at Denbigh brings in a return of £4 a year, the sole object of letting it being, of course, to preserve the ruins from decay. One of the sales of the year was at Abbot's Wood in the Forest of Dean. King Henry 111, granted part of this forest to the abbot and monks of Flaxley, with certain reservations. Before that time the abbots had received two oaks from the forest weekly for the support of their forge. Many kings came and went, leaving the possessions undisturbed; but Henry VIII. resumed and made a grant of them to Sir Anthony Kingston, the Crown retaining some rights. The estate has now been purchased by Mr. Crawshay, in whom the property has become vested. Another sale of some importance has been made during the year to tho trustees of the late Earl of Carlisle. The estate lies at Lanercost, Cumberland and comprises the ruins of the Priory there. It is surrounded by Lord Carlisle's property, and has been let on lease to successive earls for about 160 years. Part of the Priory buildings has been used as the parish church, and Parliament twice voted money for repairs. The estate has now been sold to the trustees of Lord Carlisle for £30,000, they undertaking to endeavour to preserve the Priory ruins. The total of the Crown rents, royalties from mines, &c., amounted to £401,280, and the expenditure to £38,938. HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. The annual report of the Hudson's Bay Company states that order has been re-established at Fort .Garry, and that the new Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Manitoba, the Hon. Mr. Archibald, has formed an Administration, and is organising a police force. A belief is entertained that the company will now be able to carry on their business peace fully and satisfactorily. Some changes, how ever, in the arrangements under which it has hitherto been conducted appear to be desirable in the interest of economy . and efficiency' The committee have not received an account of the exact losses during the recent disturbances, but they have forwarded their claim for compensation to bet Majesty's Government, and propose that the a mount to be awarded to them should be ascertained by come mission. . tall TT • lIE,R MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Nov. 1 6 . The Queen went out in the morning, accompanied 1 1 Princesi Beatrice, and in the afternoon drove out in ib sledge with Princess Beattice and Prince Leopold, Ana attended by the Marchioness of Ely. The Hon. Mrs. Ferguson of Pitfonr had the honour o f dining with the Queen. LORD RUSSELL'S PAMPHLET. The long expected pamphlet, by Lord Russell, has ino.d ° its appearance. It examines in two divisions the military and political conditions of the Empire ; in the first place it criticises the now famous article in the Edinbu ) P Review, which it condemns as expressing a policy ino•d quate to the times. Passing to the war and the questio n of German annexation, it fastens the guilt of the carnage upon France, welcomes the prospect of the liege mony of Germany in Europe, and pronounces that Alsace and part of Lorraine ought to be re ° garded as the just and neutral provisions for security". If Count Bismarck should demand more tha n this, it proposes a joint and armed opposition. It con' eludes with a series of axioms :—We must have an army of reserve, founded on the militia ; a strong garrison, and a good general in Quebec, and a peace enforc ed upon the basis of the surrender of Alsace and North Lorraine. DWELLINGS FOR THE INDUSTRIAL CLASSES. Yesterday afternoon another extensive block of bad; ings, intended for the accommodation of the industrial classes, was opened in Ebury-street, Pimlico. They welt erected at great cost by the company, at the head of which is Sir Sidney Waterlow, whose liberality and energy in providing suitable houses for the working classes are we ll known. The buildings consist of six storeys, and have . 11 very noble frontage. The ground floor m i s devoted to shops, and the upper storeys accomodate no less the one hundred and twenty families, the greatest attention having been paid to the sanitary arrangements. Among those present at the opening were his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, Sir Sidney Waterlow, and the Sheriffs of London. Afte r the building had been inspected by the company, a large party partook of luncheon, to which they were invited bi Sir Sidney Waterlow. THE BRIGHTON RITUAL CASE. The case of Hebbert v. Purchas was resumed yester' day before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council• Dr. Stephens was continuing his argument in refer" ence to the use of the wafer, when the proceedings Wer e adjourned. Mr. Purchas has addressed a letter to the Judicial Conl• mittee of the Privy Council in reference to the appeal from the sentence passed upon him by the Dean of Arches. He informs their lordships that he cannot appear befor e them, as the state of his health prevents him from enter ing on a personal contest, and he is unable to bear the expense of a defence by counsel. He has the less cause for regret in leaving the suit undefended, because in sink" lar cases their lordships have laid down principles which governed the decision of the Court of Arches, and which he presumes will be the foundation of the judgment which will be pronounced in this appeal.

MR. BLANCHARD JERROLD AND THE EDLICA" TIONAL Baum—Elsewhere in our impression of to -day will be found a letter addressed to the ratepayers of Marl lebone by Mr. Blanchard Jerrold, announcing his with' drawal from his candidature for a seat at the Educational Board. It would be well if Mr. Jerrold's magnanimous conduct in withdrawing thus betimes from among the crowd of candidates presenting themselves just now before the ratepayers of Marylebone were followed la other districts by those capable of similar self-abnegation. Gustavus Townsend, stationmaster at Wylam, on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, was killed on Thurs• day by being run over by a special train. Brasenose College, Oxford, offers an open fellow ship for Natural Science or Mathematics in February next. It is stated that Mr. George Morrison, the well' known Oxford aquatic coach, will give the Oxonians the benefit of his experience in the formation of a crew to represent the " dark blue." The Manchester Guardian mentions a report tht►t the office of Judge-Advocate General, just vacated by Sir Colman O'Loghlen, is to be offered to Mr. Vernon Har court. Demonstrations of Rouiau Catholics took place on Thursday at Kilkenny and Belfast, "to protest against the usurpation of Rome and the unscrupulous acts of the Government of King Victor Emmanuel." SUDDEN DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev. D. Warner, vicar of Hoost Warburg, near Rochester, died suddenly at his vicarage on Thursday night. Au inquest will be held on the remains. SINGULAR BABY-FARMING CASE.—Two women, named Iredale and Cale, attended before the St. Pancras Guardians on Thursday to induce them to take into the workhouse a child which one of them had undertaken to keep, the person from whom she received it having failed to contribute to its support. After some discussion the Board resolved to refuse to take the child, and deter mined to refer Mrs. Iredale to a police magistrate. The applicant and her friend were then called in, and, on being informed of the decision of the board, both became so abusive that they had to be removed. Shortly after it was stated that Mrs. Iredale had attempted to run away, leaving the child in the ante room, but that the officers had succeeded in capturing her-, lad brought her back, and compelled her to take the child away with her. She, however, declared that the guardians should have the child somehow before the night was over. TIIE ARREST OF A GERMAN BANKER.—The Exchange Gazette of Berlin gives an account of the arrest of Herr Guterbock, a member of a banking firm, on the ground of his having sent a telegram to London applying for a portion of the French loan. The Exchange Gazette gives the following particulars :—An old business friend of the Guterbocks, an Italian, was in Berlin when the new French loan was brought out in London, and as he was desirous of subscribing towards it, he applied to the firm to assist him in the matter, and eventually succeeded in in' clueing M. G. Guterbock to write to four different London houses with whom both the GuterbOcks and the Italian merchant were in intimate business relations to subscribe towards the loan. It was expressly stipulated by the Messrs. Guterbock that the name of the party on whose account the application was made should be handed in, and it was moreover distinctly intimated that the moneY would not be paid by them, but that the house in London would have to look to the Italian house for payment. It is stated that these facts can be vouched for by the books of the firm and at the tele graph office. Copies of the despatches having been obtained by the Criminal Court from the telegraph authorities, Commissary Pick, armed with these docw ments, proceeded towards the counting-house of the Messrs. Guterbock, when M. G. Guterbock at once acknowledged himself the writer and composer of the despatches in question, which was at the same time very fled by the copying book of the firm. He was accordinglY at once arrested, and charged with having been gu ilty of a breach of the following law, viz :—" Any Prussian who shall knowingly aid or assist any Power that may be at war with Prussia, or knowingly injure any of Prussia's troops, or those of her allies, shall be punished with ten years' mtpriscament with bard labour.' th, of It si a roi wi ga ha LI
