Afternoon and Evening. tide of war and rolling it back upon their antagonists. So far as the armies of BAZAINE and MACMAIION are concerned, the game is played out. So fax as the Government at Paris is concerned, the first step is already taken. Will France respond to the resolve of Paris ? If she does, the victorious armies of Germany, disem barrassed of MACMAHON, will forthwith resume their interrupted march upon the capital without fear of further interruption. Upon a vaster scale, would then possibly be repeated i n the instance of Paris, the horrors witnessed during these last few days at Strasburg to the anguish of all Christendom. At Strasburg the good old bishop has just died in the midst of the terrible sufferings of the population and defenders of Strasburg, suffering,which not many hours previously he had so nobly though so vainly endeavoured to mitigate. Precisely at this juncture we begin to feel very poignantly the inconvenience, to employ the mildest phrase, of her MAJESTY'S absence from the actual seat of Government. Far removed at Bal moral, her MAJESTY can only be communicated with by her Ministerial advisers through telegrams, or through some twelve hundred miles of railway travelling there and back again. And yet events are taking place fraught with im portance to the civilized world. A remarkable brochure illustrative of the war has just now made its appearance. It is not a bluebook, nor yet a livre jaune, nor yet a book at all—not even a pamphlet. It is simply a war map—one of the innumerable war maps issued since the commence ment of the campaign —the latest, not the least interesting, among the most attractive of those yet published. It is restricted to the frontier line be tween France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Rhenish provinces, Baden, and Switzerland, with, of course, the country lying .to the north-east and south-west of that frontier line, It indicates consequently precisely the localities coveted before the war began, on the one side by France, on the other by Germany. It displays at a glance the two bones of contention. Looking at the map is better, by far, in explanation of the struggle still going on between the two infuriated belligerents, than reading any number of explanatory disquisitions. The cosus Belli is there—visibly and appreciably. Between the Rhine and the Saare lies the fair country that France had once and which, ever since it was taken from her by the legions of Europe, banded together in coalition, she has aspired to have again as her's by right. Between the Saare and the Meuse lies, on the other hand, what Germany, expanding in her pretensions, has all along been hankering 'after as the most desirable of Southern acquisitions. There is the whole of Alsace. There is the half, at least, of Lorraine. Take off that north east corner of France, and Germania would have perfected the proportions, loould have secured the symmetry, of the worshipped Fatherland. At the glance of an eye, we repeat, thane is the whole story told in its completeness. There is visible the temptation hiring on, the one and the other. The lines of demarcation are indicated chromatically. A brilliant sinuous thread of scarlet indicates where the Gallic and Teutonic races con fronting each other, foot to foot, have been burning, this long while, to advance after a preliminary tussle. It was for this that the war was presaged at Paris by those cries a Berlin ! and at Berlin by those counter cries a Paris ! The meaning of the contending watchwords being that the conqueror proposed dictating in the capital of his antagonist, the terms according to which the boundary line would be extended, as the case might be, from or to the Rhine. Since then the war has gone, once having been commenced, at a rush in the direction of Paris. Away from Berlin at any rate, insomuch that whereas all the earlier war maps, as a rule, included Berlin as embraced within the probable scene of hostilities, and did, mot include Paris as being a quarter entirely out of the question, as in any way likely to be reached by the combatants—the later war maps drop Berlin out of sight altogether, and include Paris, now, as a matter of course, nay, of the direst necessity. Away from the Rhine even, wholely and entirely, the terrible struggle has drifted— until the fight came to lie, at last, for the most part between the Belgian frontier and Paris. Looking at the painfully sug gestive map we are here alluding to, not only is the cause of the war vividly and glaringly placed before us, but, far more lamentably, the im probability after all that has recently occurred of there being any permanent settlement of these frontier difficulties in a way that any one can reasonably hope will prove of a really satisfac tory character. Whatever decision may be arrived at—supposing the conqueror to be immediately satisfied, he will only be so after receiving materia guarantees, the extortion of which from the con quered will so perpetually rankle in the remembrance of the latter that new and deadlier conflicts, it is to be feared, will sooner or later be inevitable. TOPICS OF THE DAY. THE HEALTH OF NAPOLEON, All uncertainty as to the state of the health of Napoleon seeme to be removed. It has often been asserted that the Emperor was the victim of a deep seated malady, which defied the skill of his medical attendant, and as often contradicted. It is no difficult matter to understand the motive which prompted the concealment of his actual condition, and now that it appears only too true that he is, and has long been suffering from a painful and exhausting internal malady, his worst enemy cannot but admire the absolute heroism and disregard of self he has exhibited in placing himself at the head of the armies of France. The attempts which. his friends made to dissuade him from taking the field were futile. It was actually thought by some that the excitement of the campaign might operate beneficially upon him. No wonder that, prostrated bodily and mentally, the Emperor's move ments during the war have been eccentric and CORN IN 1870. ' The Saturday Review takes a survey of the position and prospects of the corn trade this year, and The Spectator thinks that the Empire has resolved remarks that it never was more difficult to make a .o die hard. It must be the la s t s t raw on th e p il e o f satisfactory es ti ma t e o f th ere t urn o f the grain crops.

Whatever else will send us more, owing to the extension of her THE EMPIRE DYING HARD. " A Borderer on the New Forest" writes to the Times to point out how greatly the public are in terested in asserting the claims of the New Forest as a vast unenclosed tract of land. Recent events have enhanced the importance of its preservation, for this forest embraces an extent of 63,000 acres, or little short of 100 square miles, and it affords the only available training grounds in England where regulars, Militia, or Volunteers can be encamped and manoeuvred in large bodies over an extensive and broken country, and affords all the conditions necessary for the instruction of troops. He trusts in the interests of the public at large that if possible the New Forest, the finest forest in the kingdom, may be preserved to us and our children. So far as he has had an opportunity of judging, he thinks that an enclosure is not necessary, and that the interests of the Crown may be perfectly well carried on on a fair system with the commoners without an En closure Act. the empire has done it has effectually sickened the people with themselves, and how can we expect the popular voice to speak out at all under such circum stances? Before it came to its own death-struggle the empire has effectually sucked the life out of Republicanism, and it has still more effectually undermined the popularity of an Orleans throne. Finally, we may consider, says the Spectator, that the empire by its glitter has so dazzled the French that anything less glittering appeared vapid to them. It has taught the people that their power is dangerous to them; that politics are vanity, that "glory is a meteor, morality as superstition, and equality a dream." How can it be expected that a weary and satiated shrinking from the empire should mean an honest and earnest preference for anything else. WHY FRANCE SHOULD MBE PEACE. rThe Economist, writing before the receipt of the startling news from Sedan, asks what is the prospect for France ? The time has come for urging upon all sensible men that the prospect is utterly hopeless, and the only thing to be done is to make the best peace possible. Supposing France to prolong her .resistance no one can doubt the end who considers the numbers of the German armies or the capacity of their leaders. They have forces for every purpose. Neither Strasburg nor Metz can hold out long, and then with the railway communica tions in the rear complete, and all France to live upon, the Germans may have if they like a million of organised soldiers in France. It is very well to talk of what an armed nation can do, but the Germans are equallyan armed nation, with the enormous advantage that they are organised and have put about 400,000 of their enemy's best soldiers hors de combat with comparatively small cost to themselves. Another consideration for the French is to what extent can they hope to beat the Prussians, and at what cost will they win ? If sober minded Frenchmen calcu- late what the war will be =lnd what hardships, losses, disease and sufferings it will inflict they will discover that after all they will only find themselves, after some barren victories, where the war began. The honour of France will be urged, but there has been no dishonour for France in the present contest ex cept that of recklessly beginning it, which was more the misfortune than the • fault of the principal sufferers. French troops never fought more splen didly, it is only French statesmen and administrators that are disgraced, but to persevere in the war would be a crime as great as the original error was great in beginning it. ARRANGEMENTS OF THE WAR. The North German Correspondent criticises the conduct of the French Government in forming free corps in France, which are to be dressed in the ordi nary blouse of the humble classes, only distinguished by a cross on the arm, which may easily be removed. The practical effect of this edict of the French autho rities will be that the German trooper will be unable to distinguish the French soldier from the civilian. How can he [tell that the man before him in an unadorned blouse did not wear the cross on his arm yesterday, and will not resume it to-morrow, or that the peasant in whose house he lodges may not have concealed his weapons to murder him when he is asleep. Should one treacherous blouse-man be de tected, the consequences might be fearful to others. "We know our German troops," says the Comes powdetat in conclusion, "we perfectly appreciate their honour, self-sacrifice, and humanity, but it is the nature of brave and honest men to haven° toleration for deception or treachery, and if [the French Go vernment persist in the intentions they have an nounced we wash our hands of the consequences." FATAL RECKLESSNESS. In a Berlin letter of the Cologne Gazette there is an important communication which throws some light on the extraordinary conduct of the Duke of Gramont in plunging France into a war as unneces sary as it has been unfortunate. A private letter from a wellinformed source in Paris says that the Duke of Gramont was asked at the French Jockey Club how it was that he so rashly involved the country in a war which had brought down such terrible consequences. The Duke replied that he had asked the former Minister of War if he was ready, and he replied that he was more than ready. " But for this," added the Duke, "I should have taken care to avoid a contest which might have been avoided in twenty different ways." The German jortynab think, with some reason, that this looks as if the French Government declared war because it believed itself to be ready, and hoped to catch its enemies napping. According to this mode of argu ment, had no Hohenzollern candidate intervened, any other pretext would have answered the purpose as well. THE COUNT DE FLAHAULT. The death of the Count de Flahault, who has during a long life filled a prominent position among the soldiers, diplomatists, and statesmen of France, will occasion very general regret among the upper classes in this country. Born in 1785, he entered the army at the age of 14, having, even in those early years, passed through some tragical vicissitudes, since his father, one of the ancienne noblesse, perished on the scaffold during the Reign of Terror. The young Count was brought up in the country, where his family had taken refuge, but from the early age at which he was enrolled in a cavalry corps, we may presume that his military edu- cation was chiefly acquired in the hard school of practical service. He could have had none more favourable to distinction, for his first essay in arms, was made at Marengo, under the brilliant general ship of the young First Consul. Afterwards at Austerlitz, Jena, and Wagram, he played a promi nent part, being first aide-de-camp to Murat, the most famous of the cavalry leaders, and, after Wag am, colonel and baron of the emp i re . All through the Napoleonic campaigns he was on active service, and fought staunchly even through the disastrous Russian War. At Leipsic he was promoted to a generalship of 'division, and though like most of the great Emperor's military chieftains, he recognised the Provisional Government of 1814, ho rejoined his old commander after the hundred days, and fought with him at Waterloo. The Res toration sent him to Switzerland and afterwards to England, where he married the daughter of Lord Keith. In 1830 he was restored to his peerage and his rank in the French army, and successively filled the post of Ambassador at Berlin, Vienna, and London, adapting himself readily enough, it would seem, to the changes of dynasty. While at St. James's the Count de Fla hault was greatly liked and respected. His wife, who succeeded to the barony of Keith in her own right, was also deservedly popular. His eldest daughter became Marchioness of Lansdownein 1843. Count de Flahault died at the PalaCe of the Legion of Honour in Paris, being Grand Chancellor of that illustrious order. railways. Hungary, has a fine supply, and on the whole we may belieVe,there is plenty for us to draw upon. As for the competitors for the purchase;of these sup plitzmy, the war lias thoroughly disorganised all credit and all commercial relations; so that England will probably become for the time being the entrepot for the grain trade of Western Europe. Until affairs are more settled in France, merchants, who look generally for security before anything ase, will prefer to make their consignments to England. As for the prices of the coming year, as there will be full average supplies and an average consumption, we may probably be right in expecting average prices. In short, although in the absence of political dis turbances bread is certain not to be dear, neither must we expect it to be very cheap. THE DECLINE OF AMERICAN COMMERCE. The unsatisfactory condition of the American . Mercantile Marine has recently given rise to a good deal of discussion in the States. Rightly or wrongly the manufacturers of America believe that the European war would afford them an excellent oppor tunity for regaining their old position in the carry ing trade if they had only ships enough to avail themselves of it. The Protectionists find it im possible to convince their discontented countrymen by any of their usual specious arguments, but the Protectionists are still strong in Congress, and the President, who is too enlightened not to see the folly and danger of the prohibitory system could not influence them on the subject. Very recently Mr. Paul Forbes, a well known mer chant, addressed a letter to the Chairman of the Con gressional Committee of Commerce, which has attracted a good deal of attention. America, he says, could build as good ships as England were the conditions of the two countries equal. The natural inequalities may be left to adjust themselves, but the artificial obstacle arising from the Navigation Laws and the revenue system are strongly against America, and must be removed before she can prosper. The restric tions imposed by the Navigation Laws are mainly answerable for the' decay -of American commerce, since American shipbuilders are not allowed to import ships from other countries. Under the almost equally destructive revenue system they are virtually prohibited from importing shipbuild ing materials. The change from wood to iron has something to do with the relative positions of 'Eng land and America, as of course, under the former system, the advantage was all in favour of the thickly wooded States ; but the leadimg Americans are too shrewd and sagacious not to have begun asking themselves, how it is that England profits so largely by every opening in her favour, and how she has been able to keep so easily the tempo rary advantage gained by the war. The clue to this mystery they are beginning to find in free commer cial legislation on the one hand and a prohibitory policy on the other. THE NEW FOREST. THE EXPEDITION AGAINST REEL. The national mind has been too much fascinated with the great struggle between France and Prussia to pay much heed to matters transpiring in relation to our own affairs. Some few weeks ago the Red River settlement was a popular subject of thought, and to many a very serious question. The audacious ambition of the French Canadian Riel, asso ciated as his name is with tragic circumstances, occasioned the Government no small concern, and with the view of restoring peace and order and reducing Riel to submission, an expedition was orga- nised and despatched to the settlement. The result makes one inclined to laugh. The expeditionary force on arriving at its destination found that the bird had flown. Riel, in view of the overwhelming strength of the expedition, seems to have dee med discretion the better part of valour, and bolted, as the telegram says. There is now a probability of a firm and equitable rule being established at the settlement, and if Riel should escape capture, there will be no need to regret the trouble and expense his freaks have entailed if good government be the ulti mate result. A LAMENTABLE CASE. Some years ago a barrister named Sloane and his wife (were found guilty and sentenced to two years' imprisonment for having ill-treated a girl then in their service. By many the circumstances of the case will have been forgotten, but an inquest which has been held recalls the facts, and discloses a melancholy sequel. Within a short period of his liberation, Mr. Sloane died of a broken heart. The degradation he had suffered was too much for him. His wife, too, found the stigma hard to bear, and, in order to escape recognition, she assumed the name of Stanton. She appears to have become greatly reduced, and at the time of her death she had nearly exhausted the source of her income. She was found lying on the kitchen floor in an insensible condition, and foaming at the mouth. • The medical testimony went to indicate that the deceased died from apoplexy. She was 65 years of age, and the poor creature appears to have had an overwhelming sense of the disgrace which attached to her and her husband's name. Mr. Sloane strongly protested their innocence. THE PROSPECTS OF JAMAICA. Considerable uneasiness prevails among the mer chants, magistrates, and planters in Jamaica regarding the future military defences of the colony. The dis bandment of one whole West Indian regiment, the reduction of others, and the dispersal over a wide space of the solitary European regiment, are things which serve to raise feelings of alarm among all who have a stake in the country. In case of future disturbances the chief resource the Government would be obliged to fall back upon would be the "local constabulary," described as a motley body of all classes of men of all castes and colours, possessing neither the goodwill or respect of. most colonists. The removal of the General and staff of the Jamaica troops tolßaibadoes, a terri tory which is within easy distance of Cuba and Hayti, communities in atstate of chronic revolution, has been thought a highly injudicious measure, and one which more than all the other recent changes contributes largely to the colonial gloom Am . TO THE WOUNDED.—The subscriptions to wards this great and truly Christian duty still flow in most satisfactorily. In all places large sums have been received, and amongst those who stand prominent in the good work are the names of Piesse and Lubin, of New Bond-street, whose fourth list of subscriptions has just been published. It amounts to a very large sum, and does honour to the donors, as well as to those by whose exertions it has been brought together. • CACAOINE.—Cacoa nibs, on the removal of the oil, fall into powder, and this powder is cacaoine. Cacloine contains neither sugar nor any other admixture whatever. Cscaolne makes one of the lightest, thinnest of warm drinks, and is the most de• sirable of all for use in the later hours of the day. Cacloine, by reason of the ingeuious method by which the oil is removed, pre, serves all the fine natural flavour of cacao nibf.—Prepared only b y J ames Epps and Co., Homcepathic Chemists, 112, Great Rus- sell-street ; 170, Piccadilly ; and 48, Threadneedle -street ; at their Works for Dietetic Preparations, Euston-road.—ADvT. WOMEN'S EDUCATION. It is a remark as old at least as Horace that " 11 . 4# maidens " are cut off from many studies a nd 9 of 0 4 which are selfi s hly monopolised by what we have accounted the " s t ronger " sex.

A Republic proclaimed ! Such is the substance of the news which flashed through the telegraphic wires last night. Although the telegram containing this momentous intelligent© is brief in its contents, the action of the leaders of the revolution is sufficiently traced out to enable our readers to grasp the full meaning of what forms a pendant to the tremendous disasters of last week. A more astounding close to the short, sharp, daring, dashing campaign of Prussia could not by any possibility have been anticipated. The Emperor NAPOLEON'S surrender of himself personally to King WILLIAM is of itself a scarcely credible coup-de tUatre. It comes rather as an anti-climax to the telegram announcing, not so very long ago, the EMPEROR'S watchword at Metz when asked to return from the seat of war to Paris—" Dead or Vic torious." The anti-climax consisting in its being —Neither. The slaughter that has taken place during the last few weeks, but more especially during these last few days, is something horrible to contemplate. The Germans, all through the war, have gone in to win, at any and every sacri fice. Thrdugh the simple device of pouring in fresh troops to fill up the gaps perpetually they have rendered it utterly hopeless and physically impossible for the French to obtain the mastery.
