THE CONDUCT or A PARENT.—William Hockington, a boy 10 years of age, was charged, at the Westminster Police-court, with begging. Police-constable Abel White, B Detective, said that batween 6 and 7 on Saturday even ing he was in the King's Head, Chelsea, when he saw the defendant and his brother, a boy about seven years old, go up to several gentlemen and beg of them while they presented lucifer matches. They both of them took the money to their father, who was standing at a public house door. When defendant saw witness coming towards him, he took to his heels. He was followed and captured. Some boxes of lucifer matches were found upon him, but no money. It being stated that the father of the boy was in court, Mr. Woolrych called him, and enquired why he sent his boy out to beg. Father : He went of his own accord. Mr. Woolrych : You took the money ? Father : No, I did not. Mr. Woolrych Hark'ye, man, you are liable to be sent to prison as a rogue and vaga bond. You sent this boy out to beg, and you took the money from him. The father : I did not take any. Police-constable : I saw the two boys give him the money. Mr. Woolrych (to the father) : You hear that. You are bringing up your children in a most disgraceful way. Yon are teaching them habits which will be ruinous to them. It is shocking to see children brought up to practices of this sort. I tell you are liable to be sent to prison for this conduct. The boy had nothing to say to the charge. Mr. Woolrych : This is most destructive to the boy's future prospects. I shall send him to a refor matory for five years, and make an order upon you to pay 2s. per week towards his maintenance. GUY FAWKES' DAY IN THE METROPOLIS.—TweIve boys and two adults were charged before Mr. Lushington, at the Thames Police-court, with discharging fireworks in the public streets on Saturday night, in commemoration of Guy Fawkes' Day, and they were mulcted in various penal tiesi ccording to age. The anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot was observed in a peculiar manner in the district. Large figures representing Prince Frederick Charles, the Pope, the Emperor Napoleon, Margaret Waters, the baby farmer ; Archbishop Manning, and the arch-con spirator Guy Fawkes, with labels indicating who they were, paraded the streets followed by bands of dis cordant music and noisy boys, continually shouting. The most popular figures were those of the " Pope Guy," as he was familiarly called by the juvenile population, and Mrs. Waters, who were burnt in effigy in the evening amidst a panoramic display of fireworks. Similar figures have been paraded in the district this morning, amidst noisy demonstrations, and there will be no doubt another pyrotechnic display of squibs and crackers. The persons who get up these exhibitions find them very profitable at this season of the year. STABBING.—SERIOUS CASE.—At the Marlborough-street Police-court to-day Edward Searly, a shoemaker, of No. 39, Saville-street, Marylebone, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with stabbing with a knife James Kennock. The injured man was not present, and the officer in charge of the case said that on enquiring at the hospital that morning he was informed that he was in a dangerous state. From the evidence it appeared that on Saturday night the prisoner and Kennock had a fight, and they both fell and were much injured, and some time after a person in the house in which they both resided heard a noise, and on going to ascertain the cause saw the prisoner strike Kennock, who said he was stabbed with something like a knife. Kennock was then taken to the hospital, where it was found that he had been stabbed in the abdomen. The prisoner, whose head was bandaged, and who appeared to have been much injured, put no questions, neither did he make any state ment. He was remanded. ACTION AGAINST A MARQUIS.-Mr. Benson, the well known jeweller, Bond-street; sued the Marquis of Bland ford, on Saturday, to recover £2O interest upon a.bill. It appeared that Lord Blandford, in sending Mr. Benson a cheque for the balance of an accoant, made no mention of the interest, but stated in a note that the amount sent was "in full of all demands." Plaintiff at once applied for the interest, but as he retained the cheque, the court held that he could not now recover. THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT AND THE ORIENTAL IN LAND STEAM COMPANY.—In the court of Vice-Chancellor Sir R. Malins t the cause •of the Oriental Inland Steam Company against the Secretary of State for India was brought forward, its object being to enforce the specific performance of an agreement for the purchase of the pro perty of the company for the sum of £75,000. Glasse, Q.C., appeared for the company ; and Sir R. Palmer, Mr. Forsyth, Q.C., and Mr. Pearson, Q.C., on behalf of the Secretary of State. It seemed that the company was formed in 185 G, with a capital of half a million sterling, for the purpose of establishing steam navigation in India specially on the Rivers Indus and Ganges. The Scinde Railway was opened soon afterwards, and entered into violent competition with the company ; and it suc ceeded to a great extent in securing a monopoly of traffic by obtaining the patronage of the East India Company, establishing the Indus Steam Flotilla, and so arranging the charg is for carriage on its own line, as to make them aggressive to the Oriental Company. The East India Company eventually became the owners of the Scinde Rail way, and negotiated with the Oriental Company for the transfer of their property of £200,000. On the Indian territory being placed under the authority of the English Govern ment, the Secretary of State objected to the price as being excessive; and, after a great deal of negotiation, it was arranged, but no definite contract was framed, that the price should be £75,000. Consequently the Oriental Company witildrew their vessels from the Indus but the Government then refused to fulfil their part of the agreement, in consequence of which they had secured a monopoly of the traffic, and entirely ruined the company, which were now in liquidation. Mr. Glasse strongly commented upon the conduct of the Government in withholding correspondence material to the plaintiff's case. There had been so much oppression and concealment that it had only been through the inter vention of Lord William Hay, an independent member of the House of Commons, that any material whatever had been obtained. At this juncture the Vice-Chancellor ordered that the cause should be discontinued until the Indian Government had been communicated with to see if any ooncession could be made. IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.— Mr. Sergeant Ballantine applied to the Court of Queen's Bench for a rule to enter a nonsuit in the case of Reynolds v. the South-Western Railway Company, in which the jury had awarded an old lady £5OO damages for injuries sustained at Wimbledon Station, where she alighted on the stopping of the train, which moved on again as she was stepping from the carriage, and threw her down. The ground of the application was that there was no invitation to the passengers to alight by calling out the name of the station or opening the carriage doors, the train not having arrived at the platform when plaintiff endeavoured to alight. The Court thought it was highly important that the question of what consti tuted an invitation to alight should be fully discussed, and granted a rule nisi. ACTION FOR DAMAGES BY AN ACCIDENT ON A RAIL WAY.—The Court of Queen's Bench granted a rule nisi in the case of " Lewer v. the London and North-Western Railway Company," in which damages to the amount of £4OO had been awarded by a Manchester jury for personal injuries. The ground for the application was that the verdict was against the evidence, and that the plaintiff had contributed to the accident by his own negligence. THE Loss OF THE STEADIER " CITY OF BOSTON."—The Court of Common Pleas has granted a rule nisi, to enter a nonsuit in the case of Inman v. Jenkins, in which the owners of the City of Boston, recovered £250 damages from the defendant for libel, in sending to the 7ima a letter charging that the steamer was overladen when she left Halifax. The question for decision is whether a charge against their Halifax agents is a libel affecting Messrs. Inman personally. THE REGISTRATION APPEALS.—The Court of Common Pleas has appointed the following days for hearing the registration appeals from the decisions of the Revising Barristers :—Friday, Nov. 11th ; Tuesday, 15th ; Friday, 18th ; and, if necessary, Tuesday, 22nd. In the last fortnight six villages near Orleans, whose inhabitants made common cause with Francs-tireurs, were burned. The freeshooters of the North continue their course of activity. One German bulletin of their doings relates the destruction of a railway train, the surprise of a pro vision convoy, the destruction of a telegraph, and the dis persal of a dragoon watch, three being killed and six cap tured. MR. WHEELHOUSE M.P., ON EDUCATION. Mr. Wheelhouse, M.P., was present at the annual Aoir4e of the Eccleshill Mechanics' Institute, on Saturday night. Referring to a remark made by the chairman to the effect that national education was one of the neces sities of the country, he said that he had long enter tained the opinion that it was not only a necessity, but for many years he had believed that the necessity never could be met until the State took the matter in hand. Now that this view of things had been accepted, he considered that there still remained an enormous field for vohintary exertions of every kind. New fields of operation would be opened and new duties would have to be performed. Instead of teaching children their letters such institutions as that would be called upon to devote their time and energies much more effectively, and, he hoped, to those higher branches of education which go to make up a man's life and history. They had, in his opinion, been, to a great extent, the pioneers in that edu cation movement which was at work at the present moment, and they had done much to teach the Govern ment that there was a want, and that that want must be supplied. The army of the North is said to be assuming respect. able proportions under the leadership of Bourbaki. He has at least six regiments of the line under him, besides an immense force of Garde Nationale, mobilised and seden tary, a detachment of the marine force, and Freeshooters and Mobiles, DANGER IN ALSACE AND LORR AINE.—The German newspapers continue to publish details which show how bitterly hostile are the inhabitants of the two provinces which it Is proposed to annex. One writer says :—" On the 27th October the Baden postal courier between Luxeuil and Vesoul, although escorted by 88 men of the Wurtem burg troops and two Prussian hussars, was stopped whilst passing along the outskirts of a wood by a body of from 400 to 500 Franc-tireurs. It was impos sible to offer any successful resistance to such an overwhelming majority ; the more so as all the inhabi tants of the adjacent villages and hamlets more or less aided and abetted the Frauc-tireurs. The postal courier therefore retraced his steps, and arrived safely in Epinal with the escort, without sustaining any loss save the two hussars, who are missing, and who had ridden too far in advance of the rest of the troops, and who, being foolhardy, had attacked the Franc-Tireurs sword in hand, and no doubt they have been killed, or are else taken prisoners. These incidents plainly betoken that the neighbourhood of Epinal is far from safe, and the prefect there has fre quently demanded that the number of troops may he increased ; a request which no doubt will now be speedily granted, as Metz has fallen, leaving our troops freedom to move and operate throughout the country," MARKETS. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. MONDAY.—At Mark-lane to-day there was a thin attendance, and bUsiness progressed heavily, at drooping prices. From Essex and Kent the receipts of wheat have been limited.

LONDON WOOL MARKET, MONDAY.—The public sales of colonial wool are progressing heavily. The attendance is almost entirely confined to the home trade, and their purchases are not of sufficient magnitude to support prices. Choice qualities are tolerably firm in value, but inferior descrip tions are id. to ld. easier. English wool is quiet, on former terms.

Full' verage supplies have been on sale, and the quantity offered has been in excess of requirements. Sales have progressed slowly, at about late rates. The import into London last week consisted of 552 bales from Hamburg, 210 from Antwerp, 152 from Rotterdam, 31 from Calais, and 25 from .New York.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.—Opening Report. The market opened dull to-day. Sales probably 10,000 bales, No, inquiry for arrivals. Imports, 2,600 bales. Closing Report : The market closed quiet to-day. Sales 10,000 bales. Prices fully lower for arrivals. Savannah ship named Bd.; Charleston ditto, W.; any port, November-December, 80. MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, MONDAY.—This market is again very dull, and prices are in favour of buyers. On Fri day last producers raised their prices all round, on the strength of the news proving true that an armistice had been arranged. To-day it is learnt that this is incorrect, and that the negotia tions for that object have been broken off. Buyers and sellers seem indisposed for furtheibusiness of magnitude pending the unsettled state of France. The cotton market is also lower. GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, MoNnAY.—First Report : The market is fiat to-day. Business was done down to 51s. sd. cash, and 51s. Bd. in one month. The close was steady at theso prices. CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, MONDAY. --This market was quiet to-day. A small business was done, at previous prices. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. The past week, says the Mark Lane Express, gave us a good respite from rainy weather, which for a time came almost in excess for superficial work, though the springs have scarcely felt its influence, and the subsoil is yet dry. Wheat-sowing has been making rapid progress, and as the long drought helked greatly to clean the land, the seed will germinate in a good bed, and have a very fair first chance to get strong before hard winter stops it. Barley is an excessive crop in quality and quantity, and the yield of hay these, as well as in Ireland, is much above that of England, where it is generally reckoned the worst crop of the present century. The only root crop which is universally well reported is potatoes, and though some of these appear diseased, let us hope enough will keep to serve us through the season. The heavy rains and damp at mosphere which have lately prevailed have so much affected the condition of the newly-thrashed wheat, that its inferior condition has acted as a cheek upon the upward movement lately noted, and some markets, including London, have reported a slight de cline. As, however, foreign in good condition has been selling, both for consumption and export, at unaltered values, it proves the fall to be more a matter of appearance than reality. Advices from Valparaiso announce the failure of Messrs. J. Perez and Rudolfo, in the dry goods trade. Their liabilities amounted to about £140,000, almost entirely due to native houses. An unfavourable liquida tion was expected. The books of Messrs. Sewell and Metcalfe, provision merchants, of Ipswich, have been placed in the hands of Messrs. Cook and Smith, the accountants. The habilities are about 220,000. THIERS AND BISMARCIC.—There can scarcely be any two men snore unlike in physique than the two diplomatists who met there to treat of high affairs—the Frenchman small in stature, with a low voice, modulated accent?, and a very gentle manner ; the Prussian huge in bulk, pronounced in speech, and al•parently as much of a soldier as a statesman ; most winning when he likes, but not slow to anger, it is said, and rivalling the greatest " glutton " of hard work in his extraordinary powers of application. If M. niers rises at 4 p.m. to his desk, the Great Chancellor sits at his till long past midnight. If M. Thiers has read much of the glorious days of France, M. Bismarck knows most things worth knowing of France, of Germany, and of every country in the world, and his wonderful memory enables him to lay his intellectual finger on any article in that storehouse and bring it out for immediate use.—Times' Correspondent. Complaints multiply against the Post-office in relation to the mode in which its new regulations are being carried out. Nine-tenths of the postal annoyances experienced from time to time might be obviated if an amount of dis cretion were exercised such as would be used by any or dinary business firm. For, instance, the new or newly enforced rule exacting a fine of threepence on all cir culars " closed against inspection,'• by the stamp having been affixed partly on the wrapper, and partly on its contents, might, it is suggested, have been waived at first by stamping on the outside a notice that all documents with postage labels thus affixed are .liable to be charged as letters, and that on and after such a date the fine would be strictly levied. An example of a much more serious form of annoyance, and one that fre quently leads to commercial loss and inconvenience through a similar want of consideration, has for a long time past been cited with regard to the communication with the River Plate and other countries with which we have no postal treaties. In many of these cases the rates are of a varied and complex character, and if the writer happens not to have placed the proper number of stamps upon his letter it is returned to him a day or two afterward, and he then has to wait a fortnight or a month for another mail. In this way important despatches, bearing a heavy amount of postage stamps upon them, are not infrequently in terrupted through a deficiency of a few pence, and, as there are no telegraphic means of intercourse with the countries in question, the mischief cannot be remedied. If, as has been recommended, the Post-office were in all such case where the writers are persons with an address in the London Directory to forward the letters to their destination, and to apply afterwards for the unpaid balance, together with a small fine for the trouble oc casioned, they would avoid creating irritation and gain that popularity which always results from acts of simple courtesy. BREAKFAST.-EPPS'S COCOA.- -GRATEFUL AND COM FORTING.—The very agreeable character of this preparation has rendered it ageneral favourite. The Civil Service Gazette re marks:—" Ey a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the line properties of well-selected cocoa.

Dr. Ullathorne, the Catholic Bishop of Birmingham, delivered an address on Sunday night, in St. Chad's Ca thedral, Bath-street. The greater part of the discourse was taken up with reference to the Infallibility dogma, which the right reverend prelate vigorously defended. The following is a passage from the sermon. The object of the Church's infallible teaching was not any new revelation or new invention, but the old deposit of faith left to the Church's keeping by Christ and His Apostles. It was the trust of faith deposited in the hands of the Apostles and delivered down throughout ages from Pope to Pope, from bishops to bishops, as it was contained in the Holy Scriptures, and the traditions of the teaching Church. Beyond the deposit left by Christ, beyond this trust, beyond those Scriptures and those traditional teachings that were everywhere in the Church, and at all times the same, the infallible guid ance was not granted, and could not extend. And, as this infallibility did not contemplate any new revelation, so it did not contemplate‘any new inspiration, but only that sufficient and effective guidance of the Holy Ghost which kept the Church free from error. The order of God is to work not only by Himself, but through created intelligences, thus glorifying Himself in the ennobling of His creature ; for was it not a greater and more glorious work of God to communicate His illuminating power to a creature than for Himself alone to be the one and only illuminating power of all spirits? By this He puts into the creature a brighter seal of resemblance. By this He makes His creature God-like in power ; and the lower God descended to find the creature whom He lifted up to be the illuminator of other creatures, the more noble was His work. But the work of God must ever reflect Himself, and His noblest work, that of perfecting the intelligence of His creature, must reflect Him the more perfectly. When the law given by Moses had receded,"and grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, He ordained a perfect hier archical or er in His Church. First he constituted one as the complete and full representative of Himself, the hierarch who represents the unity of His power and truth ; then what he had given to one he distri buted to other apostolic men joined in union with that one. But He called a third dabs whom He sent as mes sengers to preach His word. Thus, they had the three orders of the sanctuary—the pontiff, the bishops, and the priests. To secure unity, to shadow out God's glory in His work, Christ constituted the earthly upon the model of the heavenly hierarchies. Like Michael, the Pontiff leads the army of light against the,prince of darkness. The "Angels of the Churches," as tile bishops were called in Scripture, united with their hierarch, were the local leaders, receiving illumination from their chief, and passing on the light to the priests, who were the multiplication of their energy. The Pon tiff constituted the bishops, the bishops constituted the priests, and all along the line of hierarchic order and descent, from the central unity of light and power, accumulated and individualised in the Pontiff, passed out the strengthening and confirming influence upon the faith of all, flowing from the pastors to the multitude of the people, and embracing in one light of faith the entire Catholic Church of Christ. RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT BIRMINGHAM. A somewhat serious and, for the moment, alarming accident happened in the Edgbaston Tunnel at New street Station on Saturday. It appears that at about nine o'clock in the morning some half-dozen empty carriages were being shunted on to a siding on the New-street side of the station, and in order to convey them thither they had first to be taken into the tunnel. From some unexplained cause they were allowed to remain there, it is alleged, by the pointsman, and at ten minutes past nine the train to Dudley left the Queen-street side of the station, and proceeded towards Edgbaston Station. It had, however, barely entered the tunnel when the engine came into violent collision with the guard's van of the empty car riages, shattering it nearly in pieces. Unfortunately a man was in the van, and he was thrown out with some violence, but the injuries he sustained, happily, were not of a serious nature. The roof of the carriage to which the van was attached was nearly broken from the sides, and the buffers were snapped entirely off. Several passengers received slight injuries—contusions, abrasions of the face, &c.—and others a severe shaking, and a porter in the employ of the company at Dudley sustained a rather bad wound on his head. The passen gers generally, however, were more frightened than hurt; and after a brief delay spent in clearing the line the train proceeded.—Birmingh , can Gazette. DEATH OF A MILLIONAILM—Mr. William Thomas Farnell, of the firm of Farnell, Watson and Company, brewers, died at his residence, Isleworth, on Friday after noon, after an illness of only about teu days. The deceased has for many yews been connected with the celebrated firm of brewers, and was the last of the male line of Farnells, who have been identified with Isleworth for a number of years. The deceased was in his 69th year. He was possessed of great wealth, worth nearly a million pounds. THE BIRMINGHAM CATTLE AND DOG SHOW.- The entries for the Great Midland Cattle Show, to be opened there on the 26th inst., have just been closed, and they include 151 head of cattle, against 111 last year : 75 sheep entries against 50 in 1869 ; and 61 pigs against 45. There are 234 entries of roots, and 46 of corn. The National Dog Show is becoming more popular than ever. Something like a thousand applications have been re ceived, but the Committee have been able to find room for only 870. This is a larger number than at any previous exhibition. SELF-DENIAL.----In one of the laading London morning papers the following advertisement appeared yesterday morning --" An elderly person, fond of every pleasure life can afford or money procure, desires to be received into or to make an enjoyable home. Party possesses and lives up to an ample fortune, has common sense perception, and therefore hopes boarding-house keepers and such like, as puritanical people, monotonists, and hungry, poor, struggling respectabilities, will feel it useless to write. Offers must be very explicit on all points, and will be confidential ; therefore no mere general or anonymous letters will be noticed."—Addrebs, &c. PROPOSED RAILWAY AMALGAMATION.—It has been rumoured for some time past that the Great Eastern Railway contemplates an amalgamation with the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company. To carry out this amalgamation it would be necessary to construct a link line from Peterborough to Lincoln. Up to Satur day evening it had not transpired that surveys for such a line were in progress, but the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire has been surveying for a line between Lincoln and Sleaford, and also proposes to establish an independent station at Lincoln. These measures, if sanctioned by Parliament, would facilitate an amalga mation. GERMAN HATRED OF THE FRENCH.—The corres pondent of the Standard, writing from the Prussian head quarters during the negotiations for an armistice, remai ks : in any case M. Thiers' visit has hitherto not muzzled the guns on either side. How grievous will it be should it fail to do so ! lam sorry to say that I notice the feeling of exasperation against the vanquished steadily growing in the breasts of the victors. You might have thought that the splendour and completeness of their triumph would have blunted the edge of the bitter sentiments evoked by war. Such is unfortunately not the case. I never saw the truth of the familiar saying, odisse gums lceseris—of course I use the latter word in the mere sense of " in jured," not of " wronged" more conspicuously illustrated. Nothing is commoner now than to hear in German mouths the shocking and re prehenhible phrase, " I hate the French." When hatred and contempt combine, the amalgamation is a feeling of utter pitilessness. I do not say this tone is universal, but it is too common. And they " hate " the French because the latter are resisting after they are beaten. The German character shows better in adversity than in prosperity. They are patient, disciplined, resolute, untalkative under defeat; full of grand possibilities of self-redress. In victory they are unquestionably arrogant, and but little open to the promptings of generosity. We are now seeing their, most unlovely side. Mind, I still fail to perceive that they are exorbitant in their terms ; only one would wish their manner and language to be more worthy of those who certainly have a giant's strength. THE WAR. ANARCHY IN METZ. Accounts of the condition of Metz before the surrender vary very much. Most of the German narratives are unfavourable, and that in the Cologne Gazette, from Herr" Wachenhausen, is the most gloomy of all. He says : "The inhabitants, even the most patriotic, state that the soldiers, during the last four weeks, broke into their shops, houses, and cellars, took away what they found, and perhaps threw down the money for it at the owners' feet. They also confirm the dissensions of the commandant of the fortress with Bazaine. They cry out about treachery, and their newspapers protest that Metz will and cau never become German, and that peace will be effected by pay ment of an indemnity. Rumours, too, are spread that Garibaldi is advancing at the head of 200,000 men, that the siege of Verdun is raised, and that the German army; before Paris is perishing of famine. The inhabitants peep out of the windows with stupid countenances, indicating that they do not know whether to laugh or cry, for the raising of the siege is welcome to them, but the Prussian garrison hateful. Let nobody expect to win the sympathies of these people for generations to come. They hate us more intensely than than the French popula lation proper, and if Metz remains German, only an iron rule will be possible here. Every forbearance and mildness would be misunderstood, and good deeds would fall on stony ground. Metz owes its fall to the arrogance which underrated the enemy, and made it the depot for war material on an invasion of Germany. It did not occur to anybody that it should be prepared for the defensive, as no one thought it conceivable that the Germans would set their foot on French soil. An army stronger and more persever ing in a defensive struggle would have held Metz longer than the French, with the vigour and courage generated by despair. The French army is not great in sufferingand resignation. In a hundred instances in this campaign it has been seen that soldiers on march, if things went wrong with them, threw away their muskets, stuck their hands in their pockets, and laughed in their officers' faces." De scribing the scene outside the city, the writer says :-- " Here and there still stood the tents, sodden with rain —the whole way up to the bridge was filled with famished horses mounted by drunken cavalry soldiers covered with mud Pitiable horses grazed about and cropped the scanty herbage which here and there peeped out of the.ground. The French soldiers lounged about by hundreds, with soiled uniforms, the mud rendering the red colour of their trousers hardly perceptible. Drunken Zouaves and Chas seurs tumbled about, staring wildly and fighting with the air. Overturned carts, bodies of horses, mules without masters, sutler's waggons, round which a hungry group col lected, blocked up the passage. In long processions came the waggons of the unhappy families who had fled from the villages into the fortress. Chests and bundles, beds, mat tresses, sofas, and kitchen utensils rolled about. The poor people were taking all their effects into their desolate perhaps wasted houses, in order again to set up a home and vainly, perhaps, seek the quiet happiness from which the war startled them. Women and giris with reddened eyes, men with exasperated countenances, nurses with infants in their arms, old men and women, on whom, only a few steps from the grave, destiny had cast so sore a trial—it was a sorrowful procession, which certainly comprised more wretchedness than their physiognomy betrayed. From covered carriages, spat; tered with mud and guided by private servants, aged, gray-bearded faces peered out. They were the French Generals on their way to Germany, who were leaving the fortress in time to escape the contempt of their own sol diers and the insults of the people. A few drunken soldiers of the Guards would fain have recognised Bazaine in one of the carriages, and indulged in the coarsest abuse. He certainly is loaded with the curses of all, and to-day's Independance speaks of the infamy of Judas and asks how much the Marshal received from Bismarck for his treachery." FIGHTING AT BESANCON. The following is an extract from a letter of the corres pondent of the Daily News, dated Dole, October 30th, des cribing the skirmish in the neighbourhood of Besancon : "On Saturday our troops fought against the Prussians between Voray and Cussey. The enemy's column evidently intended to follow the valley of the Ognon to Marnay and Pesmes, and thence gain the valley of Saone, and with the other columns coming from the Haute - Saone reach Dijon and Lyons. General Cambriels could not allow this army to pass without a combat. He sent against the enemy a column, composed of troops of the Line,. of Francs-tireurs, and Mobile Guard, and some pieces of artillery. Our troops were firm and resolute in the fight. The young Mobiles bore themselves bravely under fire —those of the High Alps, especially the Mobiles of the Vosges and Doubs. The enemy having received reinforcetnents, and seconded by numerous arti.lery, succeeded in driving back our troops to the left bank of the Ognon, and in passing the river at several points. Not far from Devecey very smart engagements took place. Two pieces of cannon placed at Chatillon, and pointed with rare precision by Colonel Perrin, threw the Prussian ranks into disorder. The German artillery, so renowned, fired very badly, and did not reach our positions. Anxonnc was taken by the Prussians. In the evening the Zouaves retook it. Well, as yet we have no list of killed and wounded, but I know that Cambriels telegraphed to Garibaldi in the evening :---` Yesterday we fought for nine hours. To-day the enemy seems to menace us at all sides, above all at the extremities of my' line. He has established batteries at Plouzet, in front of Pouilly-les-Vignes. Could you by means of requisition trains bring a few battalions behind him or o his right flank ? it would be a very precious aid.' This sounds energetic. Garibaldi prepares to obey. Now, what is the last news? All the Mobiles — not merely a battalion, as ,I wrote you yesterday—have fled before the Prussians at the frontier of Auxoune, abandoning their arms. 7,000 men under the famous La vane —and the Prussians, without striking a blow, have entered Dijon ! It is asserted by some that Cambriels de manded a special train, and fled; that General Michel is named in his stead ; by others, that General Garibaldi is to have the command of the Cote d'Or as well as the Jura; further, that he is still at Besancon. Just as I left Amanges this morning Garibaldi sent scouts to see if the Prussians were at Pontailleur, and whether the bridges over the Ognon were broken. His little corps lives on the qui vive, is as ready as it can be, will not be sur prised ; but of course there can be but two alternatives ---` all killed, or all prisoners.' I have a suspicion that the Prussians, who are good fellows after all, do not mean to attack Garibaldi on Cattanea's principle touching the canton Ticino. ' Don't annex it,' he said, `it would be a pity to kill a nightingale in order to add an ounce of fat to a goose.' It is hardly fair to judge of a people after so few days wandering among them, but with the maguifying-glass of intense desire I have not been able to discover a single grain . of enthusiasm. The farmer whom I found weeping over his five apple trees, felled for the telegraph poles, represents their sentiments. They do not believe in victory, they fear the vengeance of the Prussians, and think it hard, meanwhile, to be despoiled of everything." THE COMIC SIDE OF THE' PARIS TUMULT. , The Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall oaz6tte observes that the tumult of Monday in the capital had altogether more of a comic than a serious side. M. Jules Ferry closed the lips of one of the most energetic denun ciators of the Government by reminding him that a fortnight ago he had made humble application for a place. While Flourens was thundering away against General Trochu and M. Jules Favre, and the men of Belleville had mounted on the table to witness the effects of their hero's harangue, the Governor of Paris contented himself by simply pushing away the dirty boots which soiled his uniform, and the Minister of Foreigi Affairs occupied himself with drawing geometrical figurjs on a sheet of paper by his side. At one period of the afternoon Ledru Rollin, Delescluse, and Felix Pyat were themselves arrested in the Hotel de Ville, while on their way to an interview with the Minister of Public Works, whom they proposed electing President of their Commune ; and Blanqui, the prime leader Of the movement, tells in his own newspaper, La Patrie en Danger, the woes he endured while endeavouring to overturn the Government of National Defence. Hp wished to rejoin Flourens, who, it seems, was in another part of the Hotel de Ville. While passing through an apartment on his way to his colleague, he suddenly found the door closed upon him and himself surrounded by a crowd of " roactionnaires " belonging to the 17th Battalion these gentlemen assailed him not merely with strong language but hard blows, tumbled him overa table, hustled him into a Corridor, where he sank down almost inanimate his clothes well nigh torn to pieces. "It has always been the privilege and the glory of reaction naires," remarks he, " to murder the defenceless and the aged ; the sergents of Pietri were sur passed." Before such a spectacle, however, a few hearts relented, he tells us. He was carried downstairs, wheie he was recognised by some of Flouren's sharpshooteri, one of whom demands the reason of his being in custody, and was almost strangled for his pains. Thereupon ,a comrade fired off a revolver without hitting any on 'e, which put the "reactionary " National Guards to flight.

THE SORTIE THAT DID NOT COME OFF' Yesterday a - sortie in force from Mont Val6rien WO eV petted, as the French were known to have been COnc e r li s i trating troops there for the last few days. Ge ne Blumenthal gave all the orders to his subordinates wt.! in the morning ; but there was no sortie came. From Cloud and Meudon battalion after battalion could be see': marching up to Mont Val6rien, and it was estimated tit by one o'clock there must have been more th 5D 50,000 men sent from Paris to . that place. As there i 9 possibility of seeing what is going on from the Versaill° side in case of a sortie, I came over here, from whence fine view is to be had of the northern side of Val6ri el li and the hill between it and the woods of Buzenvall. along the road thre were signs of preparation, and 'v ile- I got into St. Germain I found the two regime nt ; of Landwehr under arms in the street, with artillery ambulance waggons ready behind them. In the "Ps :. terre" or public garden behind the far-famed terrace the recently arrived English ambulance, also horsed en, ready. It had been inspected in the forenoon by Ins P en Strohmeyer, who had expressed himself well satisfied W: all he saw. Unfortunately he confined himself to a mere w ; spection of the waggons - and their contents, and did °ll e ask for the men to be " put through the facinged The terrace itself was crowded with St. Germainites stray Prussian officers off duty, all eagerly looking at goo Mont Val6rien in front. With the glass we could s ee masses of troops about a quarter of a mile outside the fort on the slope above Rueil and Alaimo-le ° Mounted officers were galloping to and fro il l / every direction, carrying orders, I suppose ; and , so, there must have been a great many of them to gi‘ -e ' for the horsemen were both numerous and bustling' Altogether, about three o'clock it did look very much ! II if the French meant coming out, as they did on the 21st ult. But after we had watched them for 510," an hour, the dark masses began to move slowly bA to the fort, and about four an aide-de-camp came f° l33 headquarters to say that the French were V W/ back to Paris, and that the landwehr could go back ti3 t quarters. It is beyond conception what the movement meant on the part of the French, as one would think ti ° such movements were calculated greatly to discourage any troops. I was talking to some of the landwehr 101,1 about it in the evening, and one man said, "Ah, tha i t 6 what you never see our generals do ; we never me: a yard without there is a reason for it ; and even when we do not know why we have to march , " are always certain that we are not being tired for n othin s ' and therefore go cheerfully to work." Last night fri n3) two till four there was heavy firing from Mont Valerie',, on the German working parties in Bougival and n ear Malmaison. From the windows of the Pavillon ea Henri IV. one could not only see the flashes of the guns, but seethe course of the shells through the air, as 00 were fired with old-fashioned fuses. The French are certa i n j i , 4 l improving in shell firing, for out of more than thirty ell em- I counted only two which I did not hear burst, and till that did burst nearly all seemed to do so at the r ii' time. The night before last more than 300 shells We; fired into Boug,ival, and now as I write an occasion I boom tells of another.—Pall Ha Gazette CorreePan dell at St. Germain, Nov. 3. The studio and residence of Mdlle. Rosa Bonheur et Fontainebleau, have been spared, by order of the Cr o l Prince of Prussia. A similar order has been given for th. protection of M.

By General Moltke's letter of thanks in reply to rO. lll addresses sent to him it appears that he was celebr ate his seventy-first and not his seventieth birthday as Ili° stated first. ta The Mobiles who have fled from Dijon to Lyons sto- d that the National Guards at Dijon would not fight, an that the inhabitants welcomed the arrival of the enellO. The Duke of Gramont has written a letter contradict') ing certain statements respecting the negotiations wil ic immediately preceded the war. These contradictio n ' however, posstss no historical interest or importance. A recent visitor to Gravelotte writes :—" It is a awn of indescribable desolation. The heights occupied by tw ", French are still strewn with accoutrements and cloth es ' the fields are deeply rutted with the wheels of artille rf and dotted over with little mounds where the dead ar e buried, and the whole is a perfect quagmire of mud."
