Ashton and Green, of 14 and 15, Bury-street, ot. Mary Axe, on opening their offices on Saturday morning, found they had been burgiariously entered during the night, and the desks and cupboards in the offices forced open. Fortunately the--operations of the thieves were not attended with-any-great success, as they were unable to force open the private - safe or that in the general office. They consumed several bottles of wine and brandy in the private rooms of the partners, and took . a few spoons thud forks, coats, and other articles, but .• overlooked a small sum of money in one of the deskS. The Army and Navy Gazette says :—We understand that, in future, officers, holding staff appointments at the School of Musketry,' Hythe, or acting as District In spectors of Musketry, will not be succeeded in the regi ments to which they belong, but will continue to be borne upon the regimental establishment, and that those officer now holding such appointments who have been placed upon the Supernumerary List will be brought again on to - the establishment of their regiments as oppor tunities occur.

In the present crisis, which deservedly absorbs universal attention, Mr. Gladstone composes essays on the ballot, Mr. Disraeli, who might have been thought more capable of rising to the greatness of the occasion, interests himself with a twaddling and irrelevant reference to a guarantee of 'one of the inland provinces of Prussia, given, it is said, at the Congress of Vienna... It is not surprising' that Sir Henry BulWer should deprecate the determination of a man to let his fellow-creature drown in preference to wetting a foot to save him. There may perhaps be sufficient reasons at any given moment for entirely passive non intervention ; but there is reason to fear that the policy of the Government depends, not on considerations of immediate expediency, but on a fixed determination to escape all responsibility. Excessive caution and delibe rate prudence are not convertible terms. The double treaty which exaggerated alarm substituted for a simple declaration of English policy was the rashest measure which a reckless Government could have adopted.

There was a great fire in Glasgow on Friday morning, on the premises of Messrs. Wylie and Lockhead, in Kent road. The upper flat of the premises was principally filled with bales of hay and a large quantity of oats, while the two flats underneath contained partly a stock of wool, and partly•a large quantity of furniture belonging to and stored by the same firm. In about twenty minutes from the fire being first discovered the roof fell in. The flames extended to several adjacent buildings. From time to time the floors gave way, and within an hour and a- half from the commencement of the blaze a whole row of tene ments was completely gutted. As far as,can at present be ascertained, the aggregate damage may be roughly set down at about £15,000. • TWo New Novels. T HE GREAT WESTERN HOTEL.

He goes on to state his conviction that the British Govern; ment " will before long find itself compelled to attempt, in concert with its.colonies, some veritable national sys tem - of emigration, which salutary enterprise one can foresee would be the beginning of all manner of rational, just, and said relations between England and her colonies:" , M.

His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian. cities are exceedingly graphic, showing much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book ig somewhat sketchy,' it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring, to the Council, which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."— Daily Telegraph. • "Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited the spots described by Mr. Evill, are scarcely likely to add much to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches ; yet we are far from saying that the publication is. superfluous.

" Having read the book throughfroin cover to cover—of itself an, eulogium from any reviewer—we could,certainly not spare - Mr. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, any, more than we could spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces In sculpture and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As . a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he • made this winter journey, he has: acquitted himself admirably well."--.Suu. " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the picturesque, and describes what he saw in forcible and some times eloquent language Notwithstanding his well worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News. " There is no pretension whatever about the book of travels, and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing that is uninteresting, vapid, or. dull. • To the truthfulness of its descriptions of places and works of art 'we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do bettpr than furnish themselves with a copy."—Bell's Weekly Messenger. "bfr. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable him to witness the great gathering of prelates' in attendance at the opening of the (Ecumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with . great . rapidity, but • his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record.

"It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described.

"The completion of Mr. Newman' , work on the British Moths is 9, benefit to entomologists of all classes.

Mr. ClualAN's, "The Whew,akeaf," liih-street Camden-town. ad, per ere :es, ns, icil )ni 3ry ,he ;he ies ice ny of ion SIR H. L. BULWER ON TILE WAR. :Sir. Henry Lytton Bulwer has a third letter in the Tim'es on the policy which England ought to pursue in the ' war, and he explains what he should desire to see done as follows :—" I have already spoken of a concert with other Powers to discover the • best means for giving a just security to Germany with the least injury :to the susceptibilities and interests of France. The question is large enough, is general enough to justify one of these exceptional . assemblies : which bring the Great Powers of Europe together on exceptional occasions. What would such an assembly offer to France? A mode of having her position fairly discussed. What would it offer to Prussia? A universal sanction to any result that Was adOpted. Why should England not suggest a congress ? If this expedient is not adopted, and no other general mode of action is found practicable, there remains, I admit, but one last course open—that of sicking the position •of a neutral between two combatants into that of a friend to both, and urging on one party and the other, with all the earnest ness of argument which befits a conscientious desire to peform a good action, : such conditions as, with all the knowledge of the circumstances that her Majesty's Government possesses, appear to it to offer the basis of a fair and honourable peace. 1f... at this moment there is duty to perform, diffiCult or easy, we ought to perform it. There are some, hoWever, who - say it would be a great humiliation to speak to Prussia and for Prussia not to attend to us. If anything is passing before our eyes concerning which we are indifferent, or sup posed to be indifferent, there is nothing - humiliating in silence ; but if the something to which I allude if interesting to us, and known to be so interesting that we must desire to prevent it—there is less humiliation to my mind, because less pusillani mity, in endeavouring to interfere, though only by speech, than in standing by silent, when it must be felt we can have no motive but fear for being silent. The Cabinet scattered, no Cabinet Councils held, the universal belief that our Government meant to do nothing unless asked to do so by the two belli gerents—which seemed an impossibility—all these circumstances made me apprehensive that we meant to he silent and passive spectators of events. For a moment theimpression left me. I hailed the fact that Lord Lyons had brought M. Favre and Count Bismarck together as a happy omen, and took that opportunity of addressing my first letter to you. But NI. Favre and Count Bismarck parted and there seemed no evi dence that Lord Lyons had urged or endeavoured to urge either to come to an accommodation. I then again arldresed you. If Lord Granville has done, or will do, anything in these affairs, I am sure he had done and will do it well. All lam afraid of is ' waiting for good i opportunities for I never found a timid rider find a good opportunity for trying his horse at a stiff fence ; and it is said ' the more he looks at it the less he likes it.' At all events, my correspondence here ceases. A Cabinet is at last summoned. May good angels direct and animate its counsels ! " PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY, LEEDS.—The winter session of this society , will be inaugurated by Mr. W. Hepworth Dixon, on Tuesday, October 18th., when he will deliver a lecture on " The Great Weed, the Feeding Ground of the Anglo-Saxon Race." THE IRISH LAND BILL.—We learn from Dublin that the machinery for giving effect to the new Irish Land Act has been put together, and merely awaits the final revision of the judges. It is confidently expected, says a writer in the Times, that the rules "will secure substantial justice and give general satisfaction." MURDER IN IRELAND.—A murder is reported from Limerick. A man named Enright, driver of a porter and soda-water van, was called on by several per sons on the high road to distribute the liquor among them from his cart. On his refusing he was assailed with stones and kicked. He was found by the wayside bleed ing and senseless, a nd died in an hour or two after being conveyed to the hospital. A publican named O'Neill is under arrest. Friday night's Gazette announces that the Prince of Wales has appointed Herbert William Fisher, of the Inner Temple, barrister-at-law, to be Vice-Warden of the Stannaries, in the place of Sir R. Smirke, resigned. His Royal Highness has also appointed Francis Knollys to be his private secretary, in the place of Herbert W. Fisher, resigned. The Princess of Wales has appointed Maurice Holzmann, German secretary and librarian to the Prince of Wales, to be private secretary to her Royal Highness, in the place of Herbert W. Fisher, resigned. The Anglo-Braziliah Illustrated News, under the editorship of Mr. C. F. Vivaldi, of London, a new illus trated high-class paper, printed in the English metropolis, in English and Portuguese, has been started. The pro prietors of the new paper—a company—guarantee a cir culation of 15,000 copies in the principal Brazilian cities, and in their prospectus they impress upon English vendors the fact that there are no better fields in the world for English manufacturers or for superior and enlightening publications than those to be found in the rich empire of South America. The first number of the periodical cer tainly is entitled to a warm welcome and fair criticism, not only on account of its literary merits, but also for the high class of illustrations, chiefly on this occasion, representing views in Rio Janeiro, and for the excellent quality of the tinted paper on which the whole is printed. . THE COAL TRADE.—An important conferonce has been held at Barnsley during the past week, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the award of Sir J. Karslake in reference to the present position of the South Yorkshire coal field and the London coal trade. Sir E. W. Watkin, who presided, mentioned that owing to the decision of Sir J. Karslake, the Great Northern Railway Company was prevented from lowering its rates for carry ing coal to London, and on that account it was con sidered desirable that they should adopt some other means of conveyance. He suggested that the coal owners of South Yorkshire should raise an independent line of steamers to run from Grimsby to London, and he had no doubt the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company would soon offer them such rates to Grimsby as would enable them to compete with the coal-masters of Derbyshire and the North of England. A deputation was appointed to wait on the directors of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, with a view to elicit information on the subject, and the conference was then adjourned. Mr, Cardwell, who has been engaged for some days past in a visit of inspection to the fortifications round the coast, will go down to Aldershot to-day to witness part of a trial by which it is hoped to determine definitely and for ever the rival pretensions of muzzle-loading and breech-loading field guns. The following committee of officers, whose names are well-known in connection with the science oLartillery, has been appointed to conduct the experimetits and report on the result :—Major-General Sir John St. George, the late head of the Ordnance Select Committee, president : Major-General Gambier, C. 8., Deputy Adjutant-General Artillery ; Major-General F% M. Eardley Wilmot, R.A. ; Colonel Wray, C.B. ; Colonel Milward, C. 8., Superintendent of the Royal Laborato ries ; Colonel C. S. Henry, C.B. ; Colonel J. E. Michell, C. 8., R.H.A. ; Colonel W. E. M. Reilly, C. 8., R.A. ; Captain H. Thornhill, It. A. ; Captain W. M. S. Wolfe, Brigade Major at Shoebury i ness ; and Captain H. J. Alderson, RA„ Assistant Superintendent of Experiments. Lieutenant-Colonel Heyman, of the Director of Artillery's department at I Woolwich, is appointed secretary to the committee. Army. - A vacancy has occurred in the Hon... Corps of the Gentlemen at Arms by the death of S. L. A. B. Messiter, Esq., late captain 28th Regiment. Captain R. C. Martin, half pay, late 19th Regiment, has been appointed to succeed Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. L. W. Mlles as Superintending Officer of Recruiting of the Peterborough District. Lieutenant J. F. Hopkins, 2nd West India Regiment, has been appointed Fort Adjutant of the Gold Coast Settlements, vice Ensign Bell, Ist West India Regiment, who has proceeded with his regiment to Jamaica. In a little .more than two months, Sandhurst, as a military college, will have ceased to exist, from the simple fact that all the cadets now remaining there will have com pleted their course, and that no arrangements have been. made for filling up their places. _The _Brawl ..4,r_rom says,:—Dctubts having arisen as to the power of administrative officers of the Control De partment under the Royal Warrants of 12th November, 1869, to command the Army Service Corps, a new War rant directs that Article 5 of the Royal Warrant for the Control Department be cancelled, and that the following article be substituted in lieu thereof :—" Officers of the Control Department and •of the Supply and Transport Sub-Department shall officer and command the Army Service Corps." The Committee of the Marine Society have placed ten admissions to their training-ship Warspite at the disposal of the Captain Relief Fund Committee, for the children of seamen who perished. The crews of the ships belonging to the Channel Squa dron recently returned to England, have been granted four days' leave "in watches." It may not be uninteresting to know that the British sailor is not backward in responding to the appeal of the sufferers by the loss of the Captain, as the sum of £l,lBO contributed as follows will shew : —2302 by the officers and crew of the Minotaur £256, Agincourt ; £220, Warrior ' • £213 Hercules ; and £lBO Northumberland. Major W. J. Stuart, R.E., took up the appointment of Professor of Fortification at the Royal Military Academy Woolwich, on Saturday, in succession to Lieutenant- Colonel J. Wilson, R.E. The United Sennce Gazette says :—" We have every rea son for stating that the present senior Naval Lord of - the Admiralty, Admiral Sir Sydney C. Dacres, K.C.8., is likely shortly to vacate the post he at present occupies in favour of Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., late Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Squadron.— Lieut.-Colonel C. S. S. E. Gordon, half-pay 23rd Foot, was gazetted on Friday night as Governor and Commandant of the Royal Victoria Hospital,. Netley. The drill season at the Curragh having terminated, theme-Amp will be broken up this week, the troovs going winter quarters, and the extra staff returning to Dublin. We are informed that at a late examination at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, eight sub-lieutenants out of sixteen were " turned back." This does not speak well for the present system of naval education.—A. slight alte ration is about to be made in the uniform of the Army Service Corps. The kepi is to give place to the infantry shako, the officers wearing two rows of braid at the bottom and one at the top. The shakos of field officers will have a band of gold lace at the top instead of braid. LAW AND POLICE. PAYING FOR MEDDLING WITH THE POLlCE.—William Ewing, a painter, residing in Albany-street, Regent's Park, was charged before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough street Police-court, with being drunk and disorderly and assaulting Police-constable Hewett, 84 C. The constable stated that he was in Tall - Mall last night attending to a man who was ill, there being a crowd round at ,the time, when the prisoner, who was drunk, came up and interfered, and made himself very troublesome, and on witness tellif4 him to go away he caught hold of him and threw him, both of them falling together, and afterwards struck him on the head, and. he still felt .pin, from the blow. Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 205., or 14 nays'. ASSAULT AND MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—WIII. Stanley, a well-dressed yOung man, was brought before the West minster Polics-court, charged with assaulting Wm. George Esistace, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The facts of the case were very singular. Mr. Eustace and a friend Mr. Aykin were in the King's-road, Chelsea, and a young man pushed rudely against Mr. Aykin, whereupon Mr. Eustace remonstrated with him, and passed along down Smith-street, Chelsea. The prosecutors now alleged that the prisoner and others followed them down the street, and at a dark part between two lamps, commenced a violent attack on them, and the prisoner struck Mr. Eustace a tremendous blow on the right eye with some thing sharp, felling him to the ground ; while there he was beaten and kicked about. Aykin was knocked down also ; and if it had not been for the timely arrival of the police, something more . serious must have resulted. Mr. Eustace's eye bled internally for.several hours, and it was feared some lasting injury was done to it ; Mr. Aubrey Turner, the surgeon, of King's Road, Chelsea, considering it was done with a sharp ring or instrument, certainly not with the hand. The magistrate thought the evidence insufficient to establish the identity of the prisoner, and he was discharged. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CITY BETTING—SATURDAY.

Out of fifteen races in which foreign bred horses took part at Newmarket last week, eight fell to their share. Major Fridolin was successful with Gourbi, Somno, and La Baronile, and the latter also won once for M. Delatre on the same afternoon that the green jacket figured in front of Blue Gown on Luisette. CHARLES DICKENS'S TONIBSTONE.—Within the last few days the pla in and simple inscription on the tombstone over Charles Dickens's grave in Westminster Abbey has been exposed to view. Since the funeral of the great novelist a few da y s after his death, the spot where he lies buried in "Poet's Corner had distinctively pointed itself out to strangers and others by a temporary wooden enclosure which surrounded and protected the wreaths which at the time of his interment were strewn over the great author's grave. During aperiod of between two and three months these memorials remained, being frequently added to by the thousands of his admirers. The faded wreaths and chaplets have just been removed, and, strictly carrying out the injunctions contained in his will, his tombstone now bears the following simple inscrip tion :--" Charles Dickens, born 7th February, 1812, died 9th June, 1870," the letters, which are in brass, being sunk in the stone. The remains of Sheridan lie at the I foot of Dickens's grave, with those of Johnson and Garrick immediately adjoining, whilst they are surrounded on the walls by memorials of Shakspere, Thomson, Gold smith, Handel, Gay, Southey, and others. The plain re cord over Dickens's last earthly rest-place is in striking contrast to the " pomp and circumstance" with which the genius and virtues of some of those around him are told. The Spectator observes that the German invasion has en tered on its aggressive stage. When M. Jules Favre was told by Count, Bismarck that the " principle of territorial ces sion " was the sine gad, non of any peace—a principle the meaning of which has been elucidated by the definitive incorporation of Alsace and the so-called ".German " Lorraine into the system of the German Federal Govern ment—the German war ceased to be a war of defence. It is true that the German Minister still makes military pre cautions for the future his pretext. But similar " precautions which take no sort of account of the transfer of reluctant populations, who by Count Bis marck's candid confession to M. Jules Favre, will regard their new Government as a yoke of oppression, might always be put forward, and almost always have been assigned, as reasons for the grossest acts of aggression. From this moment, then, the war is aggressive on the part of Germany, and defensive on the part of France. No doubt it was an aggression which was to be expected, and which France by her conduct had fairly earned. No doubt, as human nature is constituted, great conquerors will never stop short at the point dictated by reason and justice. No doubt, Germany is only doing what England in her place might have done, and what France in her place would have not only done, but far surpassed. Still, none the less, our sympathy with Germany must cease from the moment when, having it in her power to secure a glorions peace, with every guarantee except conquest,— if conquest be a guarantee—for her own safety in future, she determined to pursue the war for the sake of conquest alone. The sin of the war proves, as usual, to be infectious. Till now, asthetween the two peoples at least, it was an undivided burden on the shoulders of France, and the Germans were utterly guiltless. Now they are assuming their share of the guilt, by the terms on which they insist; and if France thinks that repentance does not involve the surrender of her own hapless countrymen of the border, . till Paris has at least fought and suffered, though it be in to redeem them, that is so far a sign of the nobility that lingers in the ,heart of France, and not a matter to deserve our Pharisaic pity and contempt. THE FUTURE OF FRANCE. What the future of France may be as to her govern ment the John Bull cannot say. It will pr9bably pass through its usual stages of anarchy, military despotism, followed by an absolute Presidentship and' an Empire, or a constitutional monarchy under one of the able Princes of the House of Orleans, fortified by a Parliament which shall fairly represent that hitherto neglected portion of the French nation, the holders of property and repre sentatives of order. We have no fear of the ultimate resuscitation of France, with her vast resources and elasticity of national character. She never can take the place of a second-rate Power. In a few years the will be, in material prosperity, what she lately was; and the more so if she recognises and firmly upholds her national obliga tions and preserves her national faith with the great com mercial community of nations. But there is no denying that, whether from her menacing standing armies, territorial • encroachments, or dictatorial dealings with other nations, she has really been the great obstacle to ft lasting European peace ; and the fact that Prussia is now the power which moat militates against the peace of Europe does not relieve her from the responsibility she has incurred by former acts. -Mean while we pray that the present and prosective measures of that unhappy nation, traceable as they are to the Demo cratic element, will not be thrown away on ourselves, especially that deluded class whom Messrs. Bradlaugh, Odger, Holyoake, and Hoare, M.P., are endeavouring to make ungratefully discontent with the blessings which Providence has secured for them at home. ~1 .x(11'.1 NAVAL AND MILITARY POWERS. The Economist thinks one of the most certain conse quences of this war is a great diminution in the French fleet. For many years France must be very poor. She will have to pay her own costs in the war and Germany's too—say at least £150,000,000 or perhaps £200,000,000. This will add from £10,000,000 to £15,000,000 to the annual charge of her debt. But the Second Empire has never made both ends meet ; there has been a serious excess of expenditure over revenue almost every year. It will be impossible to raise a new 10 or 15 millions by an increased taxation. France will not endure an income tax ; her indirect taxation cannot be much increased ; a great further sum can hardly be obtained from the peasant pro prietors. Economy is the natural resource, and France can save much better in her navy than elsewhere. In the army France will hardly like to economise much. She has failed now as a military power so completely and so grossly'that she must wish soon to have another war and try her chance again. If she loses territory, she will all the more wish for a war to regain that territory, She will not like to spend a shilling less on her army ; perhaps she may spend more. But she has no equal motive to maintain a great navy. It will not help her to efface .' the stain of this defeat ; her fleet in the Baltic did nothing to hinder her sustaining it. A single corps d'arWe of the Prussian army has been five times as efficient now as all the costly ironclads of France. Nor do the colonies, the ships, or the commerce of France require such a fleet for their protection. We have learned from this war that we cannot he a great military nation. Now we see what first rate war is ; we know that we have not soldiers enough for it, and that without changing all our habits we cannot have them. And France must earn that she cannot be a great naval Power. If she wants to keep a great place as a military Power, she must devote all her forces to the purpose, for it will strain them hard. We learn from the North China Herald that one of the victims of the Tien-tsin massacre was a young Irish lady—a Miss Alice Sullivan. The Bishop of Manchester, in opening a new day and Sunday school at Walton on Friday, took occasion to urge Churchmen and Dissenters to sink their religious differences, and to work harmoniously in the common effort to educate the people. Captain Grier, commanding the detachment of the 89th Regiment at Tipperary, has telegraphed to the Irish Times that the statenient of mutinous conduct having been exhibited by the men of the company quart ere d there, is untrue. A new torpedo is to be tried by the War Department, which intends to spend upwards of £4,000 in altering the steamer Oberon for these further trials. The work is to be performed by hired hands, who are to be specially entered at Chatham Dockyard. The mode of deciding on the appointment of a Slade Professor of Fine Art in the University of London has not yet been fixed, but no decision on the sub ject will be made before November. The new Schools of Art, at the north end of the London University building, are making progress. - - - The 7itnes states that the company of the Old Testament Revisers brought their four days' session to a close on Friday, after making satisfactory progress and settling many questions which will accelerate their rate of working in future. Th Bishop of Lincoln has been com pelled by the pressure of his diocesan labours to withdraw from the company. The "three Graces have been playing some extraordinary cricket in Gloucestershire. Mr. W. G. Grace hit three sixes off three successive balls. Dr. E. 111. Grace scored 211 (not out) in one innings, during which he hit the probably unprecedented number of eleven sixes. Mr. Frederick Grace struck a ball with such force that it went clean through a lady's parasol like a cannon shot. In reference to the loss of the Captain, Mr. T. J. Buckton writes to Notes and Queries, suggesting the adoption of slidinc , keels. He says :—" I have sufficient knowledge of hydrostatics and pneumatics to assert that this loss of the Captain, under the circumstances stated, could not have occurred had the sliding keels been adopted, notwithstanding bad constructive designs and bad seamanship."
