The Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of London, and Lord Chelmsford were present. Dr. Stephens now concluded his argu ments on the part of the appellant. He said the only remaining point he had to deal with was the charge in which the respondent was alleged to have stood with his back towards the congregation so that they could not see him perform the manual acts of consecration in the service of the Holy Communion. Having read some extracts from the affidavits on the part of the appellant to shew that from the position in which the rev. gentleman stood it was scarcely possible for the congregation to witness the acts in question, Dr. Stephens cited the rubric in support of his argument, contending that it was a ruling principle of the Book of Common Prayer that all the acts of the priests in the Church services should be done openly before the people so as to avoid giving any occasion for superstitious belief. In conclusion he expressed a hope that their lordships would grant the prayer of the petition. Dr. Tristam followed on the same side. After consulting about twenty minutes, their lord ships decided to reserve their judgment. THE LEDBLTRY SCANDAL. The case of " Jackson v. Martin" came before the Judi cial Committee of the Privy Council yesterday. It was an appeal from a decree pronounced by the official Prin cipal of the Court of Arches against the Rev. John Jack son, Rector of the parish of Ledbury, for having offended against the Laws Ecclesiastical, he being a married man, and living with his wife, by committing adultery in January, 1868, with Elizabeth Parry, one of his domestics. Sir John Karslake and Mr. Charles appeared for the appellant, and the Solicitor- General, Dr. Tristram, and Dr. Francis Twiss for the re spondent. Since the hearing of the cause additional evi dence has been discovered on the part of the appellant, to the effect that Parry unexpectedly went to the house of Mary Thomas on the 16th October, 1868, with a baby in her arms, and asked to be allowed to stop a few days, as her father would not, she believed, allow her to go home. She said she had no money until she got some from William Joy, the father of the child. She added that she had been living at the house of a gentleman at Ledbury, but neither at that time nor during the week she remained there did she mention the name of the appellant. The mother of Parry shortly afterwards came to the house and said she would take the child herself, and compel Joy to pay ( o r it. Th e l e arn e d Counsel now applied to their lordships that Mary Thomas and Mary Ann Thomas might be ordered to be in aden dance to be examined in support of this statement. Their lordships, after a brief consultation, declined to grant the application, on the ground that the question before them was not the paternity of the child, but the commission of the offence charged. The learned counsel then proceeded with his statement of the case. He observed that with all due respect for the judgment of the Dean of Arches, the story on which the charge against Mr. Jackson was founded was, to say the least of it, a most improbable one. He then proceeded to point out the discrepancies in the evidence adduced before the judge, and not having finished at four o'clock their lordships adjourned. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF DROWNING. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TWO POLICEMEN. On Saturday Mr. Edwin Hooper, coroner for South Staffordshire, held an inquest at Tipton on the body of a pit sinker named Timothy Bellingham, who was drowned under the following circumstances :—Late on Tuesday evening the deceased was fighting with another man near the canal, when a constable named Hunt came up. The officer seized one of the combatants and gave him into the custody of a railway official whilst he pursued Belling ham, but the latter jumped into the canal to avoid arrest. A constable named Cricklow ran to the other side of the canal to seize the runaway, who thereupon refused to leave the water. The widow of the deceased and a man named Hayes swore distinctly that the latter officer not only prevented any one entering the canal to rescue the drowning man, but swore that he said he cared not how he was captured—dead 'r alive. Against this the con• stables brought three tradesmen, who deposed that the offi cers did all they could to help Bellingham, but that he was stupid and refused to come to the side. The canal was 12ft. deep, but the deceased man managed with his clothes on to keep afloat more than five minutes. It came out inci dentally that the father of the deceased was drowned in the same canal, and further, that four months ago a sister of the deceased committed suicide by drowning. The jury returned a verdict of Found Drowned, because they were uncertain whether the deceased committed suicide or was accidentally suffocated, and acquitted the police of any blame. NAVAL AND MILITAR.Y. It is rumoured that an application has been made for £50,000 for the replenishment of the stores of Ports mouth Dockyard, in order to conform to the recent order that a twelvemonth's stock is to be kept up. At Wool wich Arsenal great activity prevails. Additional work shops are being erected in the east laboratory among the buildings in which cartridges are manufactured, and pre parations are being made for the immediate employment of several hundred extra hands. The colonelcy of the 18th Hussars has become vacant by the death of Sir Charles Routledge O'Connell. He was a General in the Army, and a Knight of St. John of Jerusalem. He was married in 1826 to Catherine Anne, daughter of Major-General J. P. Murray, C. 8., and cousin of the ninth Baron Elibank. Reinforcements for the East left Chatham yesterday for Portsmouth, where upwards of 400 men will embark in the Serapis, which sails to-day for Alexandria. OUR ARTILLERY. We look upon it, says a contemporary, as now prac tically decided that the future armament of our field artillery is to consist of a muzzle loading system. It is probable that the guns will be 9-pounders of 8 cwt., and 16-pounders of 12 cwt., and the only question of any importance yet to be de cided is of what material these guns shall be made. The Indian Government have adopted bronze for their nine-pounder muzzle-loading field guns, and we sincerely trust the gun foundry at Cossipore may be enabled to turn out trustworthy weapons of this metal. The Imperial Government, however, is as yet uncommitted to any great extent, and, looking to the want of success that has attended our experiments with bronze, we think it highly desirable to abandon this metal, at least for the present Little or no attention has of late years been paid to the casting of bronze cannon, and it is possible that our founders may ultimately hit upon some method by which this material may be cast sound and solid. We cannot, however, afford now to wait for this. We, want gnns at once ? and, as we have said on more than one occasion failing bronze wo must fall back upon w r ou g ht-i ron an d steel—that is to say a steel barrel surrounded by wrought-iron coils. It would, no doubt, be possible to make guns wholly of coiled wrought iron ;it might even be possible to line the existing bronze guns with coiled tubes of Marshall's iron, and to send these tubes to India to be fitted to the guns there ; but, on the whole, we deprecate the use of coiled barrels for muzzle-loading field gulls. Coils are excellent for affording circumferential strength, but they are unsuitable for the bore of a gun—firstly, because the metal is comparatively soft; secondly, because the pos sible opening of the coils may serve to retain portions of ignited cartridge, and so render loading dangerous. With regard to lining bronze guns, the operation would be a difficult one to perform so as to ensure a perfect fit at the breech, and the gun so lined would, after all, be a mere makeshift, and on the whole as expensive as a new one of steel and wrought iron. We are satisfied, therefore, that greater economy w ou ld i n the end be se cured by supplying the Imperial service altogether, and the Indian Government at present, with wrought-iron muzzle-loading field guns with steel barrels ; and we trust that these weapons may forthwith be ordered in large numbers. It is stated that a large order has been received in Lon don for the manufacture of tents for the Prussian army. The number required is 5,000, each of them capable of accommodating twenty men, so that shelter by this means would be provided for 100,000 soldiers. Miss DAVIES.—Thin lady, who will in all proba bility be returned for Greenwich as a member of the London School Board, founds her claim on a ten years' active and successful operation for the improvement of the education of girls. She was the main founder of the Ladies' Colle ge at Hitchin, whi c h i s t o b e i n connec ti on with the University of Cambridge. She was foremost in promoting the Oxford and Cambridge local examination for girls. She was instrumental in securing the Commis sion on Endowed schools, and has constantly written articles and books on the different branches of female education and the modes of livelihood for girls; and, contending as she does for the necessity of the female element in the management of every school, shews her aptitude for this duty very effectively. Miss Davies is of, comparatively mature age, is o f very pleasing appear-11 ance, has a tactical manner, and a readiness of resource , and judgment. In every respect she i s s t r i ctly feminine " in her demeanour, and exhibits none of the Ways which are attributed to the conventional "strong-minded." THE MILITARY SITUATION. Up to this time we are still without sufficient news of the Loire Army to determine the real character of its move ments; but such intelligence as there is confirms the im pression that D'Aurelles de Paladin, instead of attacking the army in front of him between Orleans and Paris, ad vanced round to the left in order to assail the German en trenchments on the western front of the capital. This impres sion is derived chiefly from the German telegrams. It is certain that Von Moltke has suspected the French manoeuvre, for he has drawn the Duke of Mecklenburg from Toury to the right, towards Dreux, in order to face the advancing French. Der Tann remains at Toury, spread out rather towards the right, in order to support the Duke if necessary. The German forces detached from the besieging army thus cover a large extent of country from Toury round to the west. The engagements at Dreux and other places, however, do not serve to indicate the true relative positions of the two forces. The en counters were not serious, and it does not at present appear whether D'Aurelle's army was engaged in them. They may have been fought by some of General Fierck's troops, who were stationed at Le Mans, and who were expected to move forward in order to assist the Army of the Loire. For the clearing up of this point a more extensive engagement must be awaited. This much is certain : the French general, whilst pretending to entrench at Orleans, has done no such foolish thing, but, leaving a small force in that neighbour hood, has moved up north through Chateaudun. The Ger mans anticipate the design, and have detached a number of troops from Paris—parts of the sth and 12th corps—in order to help the Duke of Mecklenburg in checking this new movement. Is D'Aurelles in time ? and will he be able to throw an overwhelming force on the bodies marched round to meet him before Der Tann and Prince Frederick Charles can arrive ? These are questions which may be settled 'any time by a battle, which seems impending. The march of the French general was well conceived, and to all appearance has been well executed. The merits of such a scheme are that it leaves Prince Frederick Charles in the rear, and brings the army of the Loire in communication with the forces of the West, under Fierck, and of the North, under Bourbaki. Still it is by no means clear that this flank movement was better than directly attacking Der Tann, after his defeat on the 9th and 10th. NEWS FROM INDIA. We have received the Indian papers up to date October 29th, by the Brindisi mail. We extract the following heads of intelligence from the Bombay Gazette : There appears to be some likelihood of Oude being very shortly made a lieutenant-governorship. Mr. It. Davies is pointed out as the probable head of the Ad ministration. Mr. Forsyth has reached Leh, rather suffering from the fatigues of his journey. He returns to the plains by Murree and Bhimbar, and not by Kulu and Palampur, as had been arranged previously. There exists some hope that the murderers of Mr. Hay ward will shortly be seized and sent in to be dealt with by the Punjaub Government. "The Republic," says a Calcutta paper, " was pro claimed at Chandernagore, on th e 18th i ns t an t." His Excellency the Governor left Bombay, on October 25, for Poona. The princes and chiefs of Kattywar are at presen engaged in making grand preparations for the reception o his Excellency the Governor, who is expected there ii December next. The Hon. J. P. Norman has been appointed to offi ciate as Chief Justice of the High Court of Judicature at Fort William, in Bengal, during the absence• of the Hon. Sir Richard Couch, Knight, or until further orders. Baboo Keshub Chunder Sen arrived in Calcutta on October 20. A large number of friends and well-wishers were on the platform to receive him. Lord and Lady Napier returned to Madras from Banga• lore on October 17. At a meeting of the shareholders of the O u d e an d United Service Bank, held at Lucknow on the 22d inst., it was finally resolved to put the bank into liquidation. Mr. Stephen's Insolvency Bill, which it is proposed to make applicable to all British India, has been pub lished. Sir W. Muir has recommended that two judgeships, Jounpore and another, either Mirzapore or Futtehpore, should be abolished. Complete sets of apparatus it is said, are being sent out from England for the introduction into India of the system of army telegraphy and signalling by lights as prac tised at home. Captain H. F. Bunbury, officiating wino officer of the 35th Regiment Native Infantry; died at I?eean Meer on the 15th October of remittent fever. Mr. Colgan, barrister-at-law, and an advocate of the Madras High Court, died at Bungalore on the 15th instant. There is still a good deal of speculation in Indian circles on the prospect of an English expedition to China. Rumours are continually going about that something of the kind has been setped. We don't believe the rumours, but it seems that additional troops are to be sent at once from India to China—as a- precautionary measure, probably. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS The past week exceeded the previous one in its win terly character, the frost having been more severe and permanent. Indeed, all vegetation has been completely stopped, and the timely pitting of roots is very plainly suggested. The strong young wheat, in a remarkably clean bed, has nothing to endanger its holding on, the subsoil yet being dry ; but the late sown has greater risks to run. Whether these early appearances are in dicative of increasing severity we leave to the weather wise, but we do not see reason to entertain the idea. The planets, we are told, determine these matters ; but somehow or other we have never yet seen a mortal capable of holding the reins of these bodies in the long dis tance of space. In another direction it seems that we are nearer to the realisation of our opinion than anticipated. As if the waste in France were not enough, Russia, one of our chief dependencies for cereals, has threatened by her politics to cut us short.—Mark Lane Express. RECEPTION OF A POSTULANT.—A public recep tion of a postulant into " the order of our Lady 0 Mercy" took place on Saturday morning (the Feast of St Elizabeth), in the Church of St. John of Jerusalem, Great Ormond-street. Archbishop Manning officiated. Whilst the Spike Island convicts were working at the Government docks at Haulbowline last week, one of them made a desperate attack on one of the warders in charge, which caused him to be insensible for some time. The convict being a very powerful man it was with great difficulty he was prevented from renewing the attack. An inquest was held by Dr. Lancaster, in St. Giles's, on Saturday, on the body of a child which was found by a woman lying wrapped up in a parcel in a dark part of the passage of a pawnbroker's shop in Drury-lane. A post-mortem examination shewed that the child had lived, and that it had been strangled. The jury returned a verdict of "`Wilful murder against some person or per sons unknown." “ THE SPEAKER'S COMMENTARY.”—The publi cation of "The Speaker's Commentary" is expected to take place early in January. The first volume was exhi bited to the leading booksellers of London at Mr. Murray's annual trade sale dinner last week, when nearly 3,000 copies were subscribed for. It forms a handsome volume of 800 pages, with explanatory and critical notes, and, where necessary, a revision of the translation, correcting all ascertained errors, and to mark this dis tinctly every corrected passage or word is printed in a special type. As the " Commentary " has been in pro gress seven years, and the translation committee only as many months, the amended version of what is familiarly known as " The Speaker's Commentary " is likely to prove a very useful guide to the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol and his followers in their revision task.—John Bull. THE COURT AT BALMORAL—There is no im provement to report in the state of the weather on Dee side. Showers of snow and sleet have fallen during the week, and the cold is very severe. On Monday the men employed daily at Balmoral--gamekeepers, gardeners, ghillies, along with a large number of the tenantry on the estate of Abergeldie—turned out by request, and, with aid of a snow plough and horses and carts, cleared the road from the castle to Lochnagar Distillery, and thence to Glassalt Cottage, to allow her Majesty and suite to enjoy a drive that distance on Tuesday. With the ex ception of a few showers of sleet, the day proved mode rately fine, and her Majesty drove along the rod that had been cleared of snow. Abundance of refreshments was served to the men engaged in the work, which was exe cuted under the superintendence of Dr. Robertson, who, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, re mained with the workmen during the tlay.—Dundee Advertiser. MR. WORTH.—Mr. Worth, who, escaping from Paris, was captured by the Prussians in the balloon which fell at Chartres, and has been sent for trial by court martial to Meudon, is, it is said, the well-known man milliner. During the latter years of the Empire no lady of fashion felt easy in her mind unless her costume bad been either designed, or at least ap proved, by W or th. H e conducted his business in a highly scientific and artistic manner, engaging his clients in general conversation, while he took note not only of their figure, but their temperament, and then sketched out a style of dress adapted to both. If this is really the Mr. Worth whom the Germans have seized, they should deal tenderly with him ; but perhaps they want an excuse to send him to Berlin, and then make the capital of the Hohenzollerns the supreme arbiter of fashion as well as politics. That Mr. Worth should be anxious, as he said, for the saile of his business, to leave Paris, is not surprising, for there can have been very little business doing there in his line ; but why should he have gone by balloon at a heavy cost, when he could have gone away freely on terra firma with Mr. Wodehouse's pass ? Mr. O'Sullivan, who, after dining with the Crown Prince at Versailles, and button holing Count Bismarck with a great scheme of mediation, was next morning ordered to leave the town instantly, i s an American.—Sc otsman. ÜBE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1876.7 LAW AND POLICE. THE WAR, A HYPOCRITICAL FATTIER DESERTING HIS CHILDREN.— Joseph Henry Falconer, a seaman, late boatswain of a ship, was. charged, at the Thames Police-court, with deserting his two children, and leaving them chargeable to the Hamlet of Mile End Old Town. The case was proved by Mr. Slight, the "relieving-officer, of Mile End, who said the prisoner's two children were chargeable to the Hamlet for more than a year. The prisoner, since he had deserted them, had received large sums for wages, and had not contributed one farthing for their maintenance. He was taken at the gate of the House of Correction on Saturday week, after a month's imprison ment. He now cried and howled, and was laughed at. He talked about his inability to support his dear little ones. Mr. Paget said if the prisoner had any affection for his dear little ones, as he termed them, he would have contributed something for their support. He committed him for a month, and to hard labour, in the House of Correction. THE SMOKE NUISANCE.—Henry Rafael, gold and silver refiner, in Thomas-street , Limehouse, was summoned, at the above Court, for having furnaces on his premises so constructed as not to consume their own smoke. Mr. Sandison, Government Inspector, said the defendant worked several furnaces, and two of them had no apparatus for the consumption of smoke. Witnesses proved that smoke in dense volumes bad frequently issued from the defendant's chimney shaft. A young gentleman, on behalf of the defendant, said that every precaution had been taken, and every means resorted to, to prevent the chimney from smoking. Mr. Paget lined the defendant 405., and £l.6s. 3d. costs. THE IMPERIAL LAND COMPANY OF MARSEILLES.—Vice- Chancellor Malins had before him the case of the Imperial Land Company of Marseilles, in which the decision of the court was sought on the question whether the holders of £2O debentures whichhad been issued bythe company to an amount exceeding £400,000 ; are entitled to prove against the company (now in course of li q uid a ti on ) for the full amount of the debentures, together with £6 per cent. interest, or whether they hold the debenture subject to any equities as between the company and the persons to whom the debentures were originally issued. His Honour observed that these debentures, which were issued for the purpose of paying Mr. Masterman and others 23,200,000 for land at Marseilles, which it was saki had been bought by Mr. Masterman and his associates at an amount less by £600,000 or £700,000 than they charged the Company for it, were made payable to the original holder or to "the bearer hereof." They were sold in the open Stock Ex change. In his opinion they were virtually promissory notes, and the bearers held them, therefore, irrespective of any equities as between the Company and the parties to whom they were originally issued. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BANKING COMPANIES.—The Master of the Rolls delivered judgment in a suit instituted by Mr. William Johnson against the United Service Com pany, which is now in liquidation, for damages sustained through the misconduct of its members, The company, in addition to an army agency, carried on a banking business, and the claimant deposited stock certificates for safe custody. The manager, Mr. Hudson, retaining the key of the safe by permission of the directors, took possession of the shares, forged the name of Mr. Johnson, and absconded with the purchase money. His lordship held that the directors were not bailees gra tuitously, but for reward, and the claimant could prove against the company for damages, though he was not en titled to priority. The directors had been guilty of gross negligence in allowing the manager to elud e th e i r v i g il ance by robbing them to the extent of £3,000 for private ex penses, and not having their suspicion excited by their knowledge of the fact that he kept a house in magnificent style, as well as two carriages and several horses, upon a comparatively small salary. SERIOUS MERCANTILE FAILURE.—A public examination sitting was held in London under the heavy failure of William Harbord, trading as a merchant in Gracechurch street, under the firm of Harbord, Wilkinson, and Co., and at Bombay as Harbord and Co. It appeared that the total debts and liabilities of the bankrupt were £580,000, and his accounts shewed a loss of above £86,000 upon shipments to Bombay and other items. The total de ficiency was £94,000, and all that at present had been received was about £5O for office furniture. An adjourn ment for four months was granted to enable the trustees to obtain proper information from Bombay. THE QUESTION OF FLAGS ON CABS.—The vexed ques tion of flags on the metropolitan cabs has been settled by the Court of Common Pleas, the dispute being as to whether it was a proper and legitimate thing for the Home Secretary to order cabmen to exhibit metal flags having* the fares stated thereon. A police i ns p ec t or h a d summoned a cabman for disregarding the order, and the magistrate dismissed the summons, but grantd a special case for the opinion of the Court upon the point of law. The Court held that the order made by the Secretary of State was valid, and the magistrate ought to have con victed on the information laid before him. This decision will cause great commotion among the " cabbies," who have generally disregarded the order since the magistrate dismissed the summons. OPENING SHOPS ON SUNDAY.—At Hammersmith Police-court, the Rev. Bee Wright, secretary of a society for the suppression of Sunday trading, attended with Mr. Jackson to support a number of summonses against to bacconists and other shopkeepers for exercising their callings on the Lord's Day. In the case of Mr. Thomas Painter, a tobacconist, of High-street, Nottinghill, Mr. Dayman thought it was not worth the while of the defen dant to allow himself to be summoned so frequently. The defendant made no reply, and he was fined ss. and 2s. costs. John Mann, of Arundell-place, Portobello road, said he sold milk, but Mr. Wright proved that lozenges were sold in the shop. Mr. Dayman said milk was one of the articles exempted by the Act during certain hours on the Sunday. It was not allowed to be sold after four o'clock. The defendant wished to know how sick persons were to obtain milk, but the magistrate declined to answer the question, and fined him ss. and 2s. costs. The Cornwall Gazette states that an official visitor to the Wolf Rock Lighthouse had a narrow escape a f ew days ago. He was on the landing steps, and about to hail a vessel in the offing to send in the surf boat, when a sudden wave swept him from the steps. He owes his life to a rope, which he caught, and held on by it until the boat came in and rescued him. He could not regain the Rock. The London General Omnibus Company was sued in the Bail Court in an action for damages. The fact that the plaintiff, a journeyman carpenter, was knocked down and seriously injured was not disputed, but the conten tion of the company was that the case had been got up by an attorney, and that the plaintiff had contributed to the accident by his own negligence. The jury found for the defendants. The dignity of knighthood is, it is said, about to be conferred on Mr. Llewellyn Turner, who has finally resigned the office of Mayor of Carnarvon, which he has held for eleven years in succession, during which ho has rendered valuable services in connection with _ the itn- provement of the borough. In 1860 he received the thanks of the Admiralty for his exertions in raising and keeping together a fine body of the Naval Reserve within his district. NAVAL RESERVES.—If we should be called upon to commission any fresh ships, we have at our immediate disposal 3,800 Caastgua,rd-men, all picked sailors, and for the most part practised gunners. We have, in addition, 4,000 pensioners not yet past the prime of life, and all physically able to embark at once. Then we can fall back upon the Royal Naval Reserve, in which we have en rolled more than 16,000 men. These of course, are not all at home, but a few thousands are at hand, and each day, by fresh arrivals from abroad, would add to the number. —Army and Navy Gazette. RUSSIAN IRONCLADS.—It is stated on good autho rity that the Russians have already fifty iron-clad monitors at Nikolaieff, drawing not more than eighteen feet of water. Nikolaieff, the Portsmouth of Russia, is situated on the river Dnieper, which flows through the basin called Dnieper Liman, into the Black Sea. For some years past every difficulty has been thrown in the way of Nikolaieff being visited by foreigners, and it is a significant fact that Russia has refused permission to have any English naval officers attached to the British Embassy , at St. Petersburg. We are also informed that the forts of Kertch and Jeniikale, at the entrance of the Sea of Azof, have been fortified in such a manner as to be practically mpregnable.—Observer. A. MASKED BATTERY.—A gunsmith in Twenty third-street, New York, having had his shop robbed several times, placed a loaded Springfield musket, in connection with certain wires so arranged as to give a warm reception to a burglar. One morning in October, on opening the shop, the gunsmith found a young man in it lying dead, with half his head blown off ; and by his side were house breaking implements, which told his story. The Coroner held the gunsmith to bail, to await the action of the grand jury, but Recorder Hackett discharged the recog nizance, stating that no offence had been committed. It was urged that gun so placed might have a killed a fire man or policeman, bursting open the window in the dis charge of his duty. The Recorder said it was sufficient to observe that that was not the event which had happened. Such a case must be governed by its cir cumstances. INSTRUCTION IN SCIENCE AND ART FOR WOMEN. —ln his last lecture at the Keusing;ton. Museum, in course of instruction in science and art for women, Pro fessor Huxley illustrated his previous subject of the Thames by shewing the effects of pluvial and marine de nudation in the river's estuary ; as the shape of the gene ral surface of the basin of the Thames is the result of the operation of fresh water, there is reason to believe that the shape of the coast is the result of the operation of the great mass of sea water acting upon that coast. The con stant. vibration to be seen in the estuary of the Thames instances a similar vibration in the waters of the ocean round all islands. The sea acts upon the land as a sort of rotating chisel and cuts it down to a depth of 100 fathoms below the surface. Cliffs and beaches are the results of marine denudation. if the rain and rivers reduced the land of Great Britain to the sea level, there would be instead of land, sea, 100 fathoms deep. In describing the manner by which marine denudation is brought about, the lecturer s h ewe d th e great amount of mechanical force which is brought to bear against the cliffs. On some coasts a storm-wave- is equal to two or three tons weight. When pieces of rock have fallen into the hands of the tempest the work of destruc tion proceeds with great rapidity. The sea strikes against the coast with such mechanical force that it breaks and crushes it, and having got the pieces down makes use of them as so ninny sledge-hammers for furthering the work of destruction. THE ARMY OF THE LOIRE. The Times' correspondent observes that though estimates vary respecting the numerical strength of the French and German armies north of the Loire, they are supposed to be tolerably equal. " Information was sent to Tours yesterday that the Germans were 180,000 strong, but this is generally believed to be an exaggeration, and that 130,000 would be nearer the mark. An Austrian military observer yesterday esti mated the strength of the French army at 200,000, but others think 150,000 more likely to be its real fore. It is well supplied with artillery, but whether it really has three guns per 1,00 men, which would make 150 batteries, lam unable to say. That is what some positively assert it to have, while others say that 300 guns is nearer the truth. It is certain that an immense deal of artillery has been going' to the front for several weeks past through Tours, and not all that has been sent has gone through this place." THE STATE OF PARIS. An Englishman who left Paris on the Bth, and arrived at Brussels on the 17th, addresses a letter to the I !de pendance Beige on the state of Paris. He says that life there is still more than endurable. Each inhabitant receives fifty grammes of meat a day ;beef at If. 20c. and horseflesh at if. a pound. Beef and mutton will last till the end of the month ; there will still remain 45,000 horses and immense quantities of salt meat stored at the New Opera, so that there will be enough meat for at least three months. Bread is secured till the end of April, and •wine and spirits for two years. The writer was member of a dining club of eight. The dinner was usually composed of soup, meat, vegetables, cheese, wine, coffee, and his bill for the last week amounted to only 14f. 50c. In the municipal kitchens a litre of soup with vegetables can be had for 35c. The poor receive food gratis. Each National Guard receives if. 50c. daily. Those who do not stand in need of it hand it back to the Government. They have been completely equipped to the number of 400,000. THE BISLIOP OF ORLEANS ON THE WAR. In a letter to the curds of the town, the Bishop of Orleans says : "After having suffered for some time from the effects of foreign occupation, we have now the joy of being rescued by a happy movement of our army. History will record it was under the walls of our town that long-absent victory returned to the French standard, the battle which delivered us from the enemy was admirably fought, and shews that we still possess a general and an army even after Sedan and Metz. This army is now the chief hope of France, and Paris reckons upon its support ; but men of faith know that we must rely upon a stronger force than our arms. The prophet has said that some put their trust in chariots and horses, but we will trust in the name of the Lord. If France shared the conviction that nothing is impossible with God we should turn to Him from the depths to which we have deicended, and He might yet perform prodigies to save us. Some hope may be entertained, for on all sides there are exhibited consoling signs of a religious spirit. It has penetrated into our army ; our soldiers pray in the temple, and go forth to die as Christian heroes. Can the time have come when we shall receive the help of God ? Can I, placed on your ramparts, whete can non shots resound, look in the distance, and exclaim with confidence that such assistance has arrived ? We are now celebrating the fête of St. Aignan, and shall we not renew the history of our fathers fourteen cen turies ago, when Attila at the head of his barbarian hordes assailed Orleans, and was forced to retire? St. Aignan then announced to the terrified people that the succour of heaven had arrived ; may not this army, whose efforts have rescued our town, be also . the succour of heaven to us? France looks with anxiety in our direction, and we must set her the example of confidence in celestial help." The late engagement around Orleans was first called the Battle of Bacon or Baccon. General Aurellea de Paladine calls it Coulmiers. M. Gambetta has issued a decree respecting the pro tection of the Rhone valley. He has appointed a superior committee for the defence of nine departments in that district. A German letter from Versailles notes that almost all the letters found in the balloon recently captured at Chartres state that the city is well provisioned for four or six weeks longer. " We. shall, therefore, be fortunate if we celebrate Christmas in Paris." The Journal du Havre states that on Thursday evening a number of English refugees from Paris arrived in that town, after a troublesonie and toilsome journey. Between Paris and Mantes they experienced great difficulty in pro curing provisions, the resources of the country being ex hausted by the Prussian requisitions. On Saturday another North German Lloyd's steamer, Rhein, arrived at Great Grimsby from New York, en route for Bremen, with 140 passengers, all well, although she encountered heavy weather in the Atlantic. A French corvette has been seen near the Newark Lightship, steer ing north ; a French war steamer using an electric light at night, has also been seen. The able diarist of the Standard, who, however, appears now to let his French sympathies influence himmore in his judgment of facts than formerly, says :—" We know from the best authority that three weeks ago Bourbaki had 75,000 men under his orders, but they were badly provided with arms. Since then a vast number of rifles and cannon have been imported and discovered in the arsenals. We may, therefore consider that he can bring into the field at least 60,000 good troops perfectly armed and equipped. A large portion of his army consists of troops who escaped horn Sedan and Metz, and the rest is made up of Mobiles from the northern departments, the very flower of the manhood of France." A letter from Southern France, in the Independance Beige, says that there is great activity at the foundries of La Seyne, near Toulon, and the first batch of mit railleuses has been completed and delivered, but the work is still going on. These instruments of destruc tion are upon a new model, very light and portable, having a range of 1,200 metres, and only coating about 500 francs each. Several French officers interned at Cologne gave a supper a few days ago, to which a townsman was invited. One of the officers, a native of Nice, proposed the first toast in these terms : --" I give the health of the most revered monarch of this country—King William I. This Prince has freed France from a man who had enslaved the people for twenty. years ; he has united Germany, and by overthrowing the Emperor Napoleon he has indirectly effected the unity of Italy and freed the world from the Romish hierarchy." This toast was cordially received by his fellow officers. It is observed that the percussion shells used by the Germans, which explode on striking any hard object, do not answer well in wet weather and soft ground. Num bers were found after the action of the 9th which had not burst. A contradiction has been given to the report that the statue of Jeanne d'Arc had been removed from Orleans to be sent to Berlin or Munich. The only outrage said to have been done to the monument was that a Prussian took off one of its crowns with his sword, for which wanton act he was called to account by General Tann. In a conversation between M. Gambetta and a political correspondent at Tours, the Minister was reported to have said that he would do as he liked, and act independently of his colleagues at Paris. He came in a balloon to Tours to act on behalf of France, and they could follow him if they liked. After the victory of the Army of the Loire he was more than ever opposed to the elections taking place. The Cologne Gazette says it was generally recognised by the Germans that the Army of tho Loire at Orleans was directed much more skilfully than any of the French Corps d'Arm6e had been since the commencement of the war. General Paladines followed with advantage the German tactics of assuring himself against all surprises by sending out scouts in every direction. A letter has been received from Lady Pigot, who is now at Metz for the purpose of attending to the wounded, in which she states that there are no other English ladies at Metz. She adds that she has had to " rough it," but is well and happy. The Prussians she describes as " loud and consequential," the French "pale and haggard." The Prussians seem to her ladyship, however, to be weary of the war. An officer of the free-shooters of Bonbonnel states that when he arrived with some of his men at the village of Haute-Saone, they were wet to the skin and quite worn out with fatigue. He went to a distinguished man of the place, who said to him in the most amicable manner, "Ah ! we have been waiting for you, sir, and everyone here will give you a good reception." " Well done," said the lieutenant, in surprise, "You are true patriots and good Frenchmen." " How," exclaimed the other, " You are not Prussians then ?" The spy system has always been in favour with the Prussians, and the greatest captain they ever had, Frederick the Great, in his Principles of War, devoted a chapter to the consideration of the subject. He said that spies should be well paid, for a man who serves you at the risk of being hung should be amply recompensed. When he had defeated Soubise, Frederic exclaimed, " It is quite plain how it was done—Soubise employed twenty cooks and one spy, while I have twenty spies and one cook." He also said that if one knew one's enemies' designs beforehand, with an inferior force one could be superior to him. The carrier pigeons whom M. Steenackers has organised for the new post between Tours and Paris have carried to the beleaguered *capital the first correspondence which it has received for seven weeks from the pro vinces. Karl Blind advocates in the German press an energetic resistance to. Russia, in the in the interest of European security. The announcement that a Russian ironclad squadron may soon be expected in the Dardanelles is not at all new. The statement that Russia had bought s fleet from America has been made in several quarters, and is in all probability quite new. According to the Elberfeld Gazette, General von der Tann, shortly after his entry into Orleans, made known at headquarters at Versailles that it would be impossible for him to occupy that town long, as he had not sufficient force to hold it, and he would prefer to take up his position at Artenay, where the nature of the ground gave him more hope of defeating the army of the Loire should its forces be superior to his own. But he received from Versailles orders to remain at Orleans until the last moment, and only to withdraw fighting. It was intended to send him reinforthaents, so as to surround the Army of the Loire completely ; but a movement on the part of that army, which fcresaw the danger, pre vented the success of this manoeuvre. This version of the affair differs from that given by most German paper. IMPORTATION OF HORSES FOR THE WAR.—O n Saturday and the previous day reinforcements of English horses were despatched to France by the South-Western Railway. They were fine, young, and strong horses, and in an excellent state. Often during the week our English horses are sent by this railway not only for France, but Prussia also. A FRENCH CAPTURE OF DESPATCHES.—A small body of Mobiles a' few days ago captured twenty-seven sacks of despatches, double Fredericks, and German paper money. Some of the documents are despatches from Munich, Stuttgardt, and Berlin to the King of Prussia, the Crown Prince, and Prince Frederick Charles. There is in the collection a letter from the Queen of Prussia, which is said to throw a curious light on the political situation in Germany. The Mobiles who won the prize were crossing the'country near a cutting from which a Prussian mail train emerged. They at once tore up a rail and shot the stokers, who were Germans. After a hard fight with the guards, who were not hurt by the derailkment of the train, they carried the mail bags to a neighbouring chateau, where a waggon was at once placed at their dis posal to send the trophy to the nearest sous-Prefecture. Among the valuables in the bags which have been opened are comforters adapted for the season, which the wifely tenderness of Queen Augusta prompted her to send to her Royal husband. MILITARY EXECUTIONS.—A Tours correspondent of the Daily News writes :—" It is appalling to read now almost every day in the Moniteur concise records of military executions which I am far from saying are not necessary. At Gournay, a few days ago, a soldier named Etienne Bert was shot fo r `e xc iti ng to revolt.' On the 6th November, an artillery driver of the 13th Regiment was executed for threatening and insulting his ' superiors ;' there may have been, and probably were, not officers, but sergeants or corporals. On November 15, a civilian named Justin Triau, residing at Baigneaux (Eure-et-Loire), was shot for having acted as a Prussian spy. At Villefranche, near Lyons, twenty-five Mobiles were tried a few days ago for violence and pillage in houses where they were lodged, more parti cularly in the Jesuits' College of Monigre, and for striking and insulting a colonel and other officers. The court-martial assembled at the unusual hour of three in the morning, and gave its verdict before daylight, at six o'clock. Twenty-three of the prisoners were acquitted. The remaining three, found guilty, were shot at eight o'clock, in the presence of a very large military force." A DIFFERENCE.—The Duke of Mecklenburg's soldiers, on their march southward, encountered a fall of snow. This leads Herr Wachenhusen of the Cologne Gazette, to contrast the summer weather and the capital fare andi lodging which the soldiers experienced at the be• ginning of the war with their present less cheerful prospects. Our men, indeed, are still the same ; they have the same invincible spirit, but the sky is gray and concealed by a snowy covering, the wind shakes the last sere leaves over the white-mantled roads, and the moments of rest after a toilsome march necessarily become moments of melancholy reflections, thoughts of home and loved ones who are yearning for our return. In the evening there is stillness in the villages and cantonments; the streets are deserted, snow covers the roofs, the fire casts light through the windows, and around it sit , quiet, serious men, who hum a melancholy tune. They are the same who, as long as the sky was blue, marched with merry songs through France, and planted Germany's banner before the gates of Paris. They are the same, and yet not the same; but humour on the march is like the flower which peeps out of the snow-covered village gardens, and many a mouth, therefore, which formerly sang so joyfully the \Yacht am Rhein,' now draws forth his pipe or buries himself in his woollen shawl, through which no more songs penetrate. . . . To-day it was worse than yesterday; to-morrow it may be worse than to-day." ENTHUSIASM IN THE NORTH OF FRANCE.— The special correspondent of the Telegraph, in com municating the incidents of a journey from Picardy, dates his letter from Tours, November 16. He says : As I came through the southern part of Nor mandy and the northern part of Anjou—l felt that before many days are over we shall hear of a very great movement somewhere not far from Paris, as well as at or near Orleans. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm of all classes, without any excep tion, at Argentan, Alencon, and Le Mans, in favour of the war. They believe most implicitly that the tide has turned, and that the victory of the French near Orleans the other day was but the forerunner to a series of triumphs for the nation. At all the railway stations ladies, some of the highest rank, wait upon the different trains as they arrive, with wine, bread, and cigars for soldiers passing to the front. On every railway platform there is a small room, attended by Sisters of Charity, in which bouillon is always ready, and beds are prepared upon which the wounded who have to wait for a change of trains are able to lie down. Train after train, coming nobody knows whence and going nobody knows whither, all laden with ammunition, artillery, small arms, military clothing, cattle, flour, or other stores, is followed by equally long trains conveying men, or horses, or both, to that undefined locality known as " the front." I confess that the amount of military life and movement through out this part of the country fairly astonished me. Some how or other I had, in the North of France, arrived at the conviction that the Army of the Loire was a mere myth —or was, at the utmost, composed of a few thousand half-disciplined Moblots. But I now find, from an English field officer who has visited and seen the camps, that it numbers no fewer than 200,000 men, of whom at least one-half are men who have previously served in the regular ranks, and are now, in the very prime of life, recalled to the service. And if the regular troops I have seen in Tours to-day, more especially the cavalry, are fair samples of the rest of their comrades, I am quite certain that France has now under her banners a far finer and better-disciplined army than she had when the war began. If Paris could hold out for other six weeks, and Bourbaki could do for the Army of the North what has been done for that of the Loire, the people of Normandy, Anjou, and Touraine might find their hopes not unfounded, and there might yet be a real turn of the tide in favour of France. My own sojourn here has been far too short to enable me to form an opinion upon men and things ; but it is only fair to say, that the English and other foreign residents here seem to look upon M. Gambetta, with all his faults, as the right man in the right place. A PERSIAN DIPLOMATIST'S OPINION. The Levant Times publishes a curious letter from Ferouk-Khan, who was in 1857 charged by the Shah of Persia with a mission in Europe. The interests of the East, says the Persian diplomatist, are closely bound up in the issue of the war between France and Germany. " I have always been persuaded," he continues, "that the great danger for the East will not arrive until the mument when France requires the alliance of Russia, which has now actually come to pass. If at St. Petersburg the offers of France are accepted, then the great Oriental crisis will begin. In-the opposite case, our position will be no better, for the refusal of Russia will only signify that Prussia has guaranteed her better condi tions. It may be said that France has nothing to do with Russia, but this is a mistake. Fra nce m a y b e invaded by a million of soldiers, and yet dispose of all the East with Russia. An alliance between the two Powers would paralyse all Germany, and would completely isolate England. Only one thing can save us from such direful eventualities, and that is the triumph of France. The preponderance of Germany in Europe would not affect us if it did not entail the abasement of France. French diplomacy has sometimes troubled the East, but that is nothing to the immense advantages we have derived from it. In the same way England has had difficulties with nearly all the Govern ments of Asia ; but can this make us forget the incaculable benefits we owe to her powerful civili sation ? It may be said the preponderance of Germany would secure us peace from the pacific character of the people ; but experience proves that the most civilised peoples only recognise frontiers where their chance of sue. cessful conquest terminates. Germany, it may be said, has never attempted to extend her influence in the East by force ; but that was because she had no fleet; whereas, once united and triumphant, she will be at the head of one of the most powerful fleets in the world. What, then, will become of Holland, Denmark, the Baltic provinces, and even that fortunate England whose indifference drives even our Oriental fatalism to despair? We should see the tide of German emigration resume its natural course, descend the valleys of the Danube, and inundate the finest . parts of our country." BREAKFAST.—EPFS'S COCOA.- -GRATEFUL AND COM FORTING.—The very agreeable character of this preparation ha■ rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service Gazette re marks :—" By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the flue praperties of well-selected cocoa. Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately , flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills." Made simply with boiling water Or milk.

The Russian correspondent of the Indepenclance B e t writing from St. Petersburg on the 15th, says that _n publication of Prince Gortschakoff's circular in the Offic'' Messenger was altogether unexpected. The morning before (the 14th) no one had dreamt of its existence, and it was only in the evening that the rumour of the forthcoming proclamation was aft° 9 ;' It seems the official contradiction to a similar reP n , r in September was only intended to conceal the ulte rl° ` , design, the only difference being that it was intended t° „ take open action when the time came. " I stated the n ' writes the correspondent, " that our ambess; dor at Constantinople, General Ignatieff, blu endeavoured to obtain from the Turkish C 4 °` lero. ment permission to allow an ironclad Russian fleet to enter the Black Sea for the winter, and I told you tha t a formidable military port, Sertch, which has been CO strutted very quietly at the entrance to the Sea of Az° I was ready to receive this fleet. After the peremptoryre fu- ; of the Porte, however, the Russian Government though t i t more dignified to pre cede the entry of an iron-clad fl ee into the Black Sea by a solemn declaration of its inte i ll ; tention. This declaration of course could not be until the Russian Government had taken all its measur e ' be to support it. These measures can only of A . the immediate entrance into the Black Sea a fleet strong enough, if necessary, to force passage of tha Dardanelles, and a concentration of Russian troops on the frontiers of the two Powers Di e " interested in protesting against Gortschakoff's circular": Austria and Turkey. I think it right to warn you t hat within a very brief space you may look i nt the appearanae in the Dardanelles of an it posing Russian fleet, composed of ironclad ves se ls bought in the United States, and paid for by the 00' owing to us by the Washington Government for our P° r sessions in North America. You may also expeut ll powerful military demonstration in the direction of 14,, Danube and the Pruth, in case Vienna and Conat 4 E tinople should shew themselves less complaisant than I ' hoped. General Ignatieff, who has been here for a holiday is actually en route for Constantinople, and his arrival in that city, will probably be the signal for great even since he is furnished with very minute intructions, full powers relative to the crisis which it is to foresee. Here everyone is rejoicing. Public oPli' - has long demanded the measure which the Governul enk has just taken, and Prince Gortschakoff, who had I°s " some of his popularity by his too great prudence in the Franco Prussian conflict, has again become the hero f the national and liberal party. The Russian army, 3a r the writer, is in capital order." A FRENCH PROPOSAL. The Patrie of the 19th, referring to its own remarks cli the Russian question three days before, observes that t he situation has already changed, events having hastened cji with that terrible rapidity of which 1870 seems to hn le the melancholy privilege. . At first it advised that Franc e should stand altogether aloof, and leave the neutral Pow er : who would not assist her in her difficulty to fight matter's n u c i for themselves, but now that matters are so pressing At that a powerful allaince is forming between Englan d, Austria, and Italy, France cannot do better than them. All she needs is that her Government should b e recognized by England and Austria, and a plebisni t ' e would give her this in six days, while, as for diploraso nothing could be better than to send M. Thiers to the Embassy at London. AUSTRIAN AND HUNGARIAN OPINION. mg The Ungarische Lloyd says :—" We dare not, in tr_ case, negotiate; that can be done by Prussia or BOY , not by us, who stand in the foremost row of thc ° _, threatened ; but should, in spite of this, war brer out, then we dare not, in our own interest, des e.„, ..% v our allies ; for if we desert Turkey then our UP:. comes later, and we stand alone before victorious Colossus. If England help us, as is to I Y° hoped, then we shall make war with confidence in vle g tory. If England, on which one cannot reckon, rembP' neutral, then we must protect our own skin, trusting I ° the patriotism and love of liberty in our people." All t he Hungarian papers do not, however, write in this strain' . Some of the moderate members of the Deak party vi°: to temporise until the attitude of Prussia becomes Wl' clearly known. The Presse of Vienna remains peaceable and the Ne lie Freie Presse is less warlike than formerly. PRUSSIAN OPINION. The Times Berlin correspondent sari that the EtaSi ° circular is regarded at Berlin as a most objectiona ble document—unprecedented, indeed. " Little desirous es they have their hands full in France, they are yet pret t l people are of breaking with Russia at a moment wh en t unanimous in wishing the St. Petersburg Cabin to make amends for its provoking conduct, and acknowledge that a contract can be cancelled only with the common consent of all parties. From declaratio ns made here, it is hoped that Russia will herself Pe r. ceive the expediency of obtaining the sanction of th e Powers to her one-sided proceedings, and that if propositions are made her with a view to this end she will meet them in a conciliatory spirit. Th e, : harsh measures will be resolved upon at Vienna i e . : Constantinople our statesmen decline to believe. T' Vienna telegrams certainly indicate a tendency to be I TP and doing, and to answer in the strain in which they 113v1 ' been addressed : but the interests at issue are so elici r ' mous, and the state of Austria's preparations is so Yell questionable, that it is confidently expected a co mpromis e will ensue, and the matter be smoothed over by mutual concessions." This favourable account, however, is not supported b 1 the general tone of the press. The semi-official pape r say nothing on the subject. The Biiiven Zeitung takes the tone so characteristic of the German press when speskivS of England :—" The perfidious apparent neutralitY (Schein-Neutralitat) of England reflects back 111 3 ° 11 that land at the present moment ; for its weigh t ' its capability of giving a serious background t' ° the representations of Russia, is less by so wa nn y cannons and rifles as it unjustly allowed ' l 7, find their way to France. The strength i n arms o f Great , Britain is at the present moment less imposing than it WI been for many years—so small that the exportation (cs arms) into France is a matter that comes seriously int ° consideration. England is not prepared, even at sea, to entering into war; and, although we are convinced thau, such an eventuality will not arise, yet the influence °' diplomatic negotiations is greatly regulated by the natal strength of the negotiating Power." The Messenger of the Russian Government publishes under the order of the Hereditary Grand Di ne a note on the museum of SebastopoL The f defence of that town is, it says, one the great events of Russian history, and 01° years since a meeting of the defenders of Sebastopol No 1:, held at St. Petersburg at which it was resolved to send possible information concerning the siege to the museum at Sebastopol. A great many documents have, in fact, be e° sent there, but the record is still incomplete, and t he Grand Duke, with the authority of the Emperor, ne vi , appeals to every one who took part in the defence, to sow any memorial in his possession, whether journal of nom kept during the siege, letters, orders, accounts of all special act of courage, or any other interesting detail su e° as an eyewitness alone can furnish. Excellency Mr. Motley and Mrs. and Motley have left town on a tour of visits before the final departure for the United States. r ERTISSIENT.I—HoIIoway's 4.4 • ed . any persons who once doubted the wonderful curative and purifying powers of these Pills, and afterwar d witnessed the beneficial effects produced by thew 1 3 diseases of the digestive organs, have been constralli e to admit their efficiency, have adopted them as their oiv° domestic aperient. and graciously recommended thou t ° their friends.
