It is impossible to read the comments made by M. GUIZOT, in his letter to the Times, without emotions of the most genuine sympathy. What he especially refers to at this moment are two of the latest and most astounding occurrences in the unrolling of the frightful panorama of the war of Ig7o—the capitula tion of Metz and the rejection by Prussia of the Armistice proposed by the ; Neutral Powers upon the initiation Of England. By the former he is simply bewildered. By the latter, his heart is at once filled with grief and indignation. Aghast at the tidings of the appalling capitulation at Metz, he acknowledges, "I do not yet understand this deplo rable incident. Was it really the result of famine( in Marshal BAZAINE'S army 2 Was it a Bonapartist plot of the Marshal's P The conclusion he arrives at in regard to it is that every indication seems to point to Bonapartist intrigues." Neverthe less, hurried on by the rapid march of events, ho loaves the inquiry as a small problem for the future student of history to solve if that should in any way prove to be possible in the hereafter. Turning to the question of the Armistice, M. GUIZOT takes it by preference into consideration as one very different in its character, and much more important. Upon the Prussians and not upon the French, he deliberately fixes the responsibility of its rejection. The .onus. of that responsibility rests, according to his argument, upon M. BISMARCK, and not upon . M. FAVE.E. With full reason he arrives at this conclusion, and the' nature of the reason set forth. by him in . his extremely lucid and logical argument, is very readily explained. The Prussians, he insists, by refusing to allow Paris to be in any way revictualled, have flagrantly and exceptionally disregarded the right of nations. "The essential principle of an armistice," writes M. GUIZOT, "is the maintenance of the status quo. That is to say, at the termination of an Armistice, the belligerents ought to:find themselves in the same position and with the same resources that they . had at its commencement. When the Armistice affects a besieged city, the provisions of all kinds evidently play a very important part in all the considerations connected with it. During the Armistice the city cannot be expected to consume the provisions which, it possessed when the Armistice began , for if so, when the Armistice ceases, is will find itself in a much worse position than it was before. It must, therefore, be allowed to revictual to such- an extent as to provide food for the besieged inhabitants while the Armistice lasts. Thera is in this a principle of natural justice, and at the same tim an essential element of the right of nations, which has been acknowledged in similar cases." The argument expressed in the two sentences above italicised must, according to our thinking, be admitted by every dispassionate observer to be simply unanswerable in its cogency. Certainly from it only one conclusion can be deduced, and it is this—that Prussia, or in other words BISMARCK, will be held responsible by Europe for whatever calamity is now reserved for Paris, whether .by starving it into surrender, or compelling it to yield by all the horrors of a bombaidmelit.

A REMARKABLE letter, written exactly a week beforehand, was published yesterday in the columns of our leading contemporary. It was penned at Val Richer, by M. GUIzOT-a veteran whose name is in a three-fold manner illustricus—as an author, as an ,orator, and Ps a statesman. Born on the 4th of October, 1787, FRANCOIS-PIERRE-GUILLAUME (or, as he prefers to sign himselt according to the grand habit of French civilians of repute, simply by his patronymic) ,( GUIZOT " has just now entered upon his 84th year. More, than twenty years after the attainment of his grand climacteric, he has still survived to celebrate the anniversary of his birth, but he has done so under circumstances of the most deplorable and afflicting character. Great as his age is, he is still so fully in possession of his faculties that he has jut now commenced the publication of a new history of his native country—a history designed by by him for the instruction and entertainment of the rising gensration: Scarcely has this literary legacy of his begun to make its piece meal appearance, when in an incredibly short space of time the glory and the power and the pride of his beloved France are rolled in the dust at the feet of the German invaders; and the aged Minister beholds, from the place of retreat to which lie has withdrawn, the "grand army " scattered to the four M. TurEns's VERSION. M. Thiers's report on the late negotiations for an armistice has been published by the Tours Govern ment. It is substantially the same as those already known, but is more unfavourable to Count Bisma,fck. The German states man at first seemed to agree to the proposal that Paris should be revictualled ; but after consul tation with the military authorities he declared that some military equivalent must be given—" a fort, or perhaps more." This terminated the negotiations at once. Giving up a fort, says M. Tillers, would be giving up the ramparts. M. GUIZOT ON TILE ARMISTICE. M. Guizot writes to the Times on the proposed armistice, which, be was pleased to find, was put forward by the neutral Powers under the direction of England. The diplomatic world were of opinion that the negotiations would be successful, and yet the intelligence had reached him that the undertaking was a failure, because Prussia had refused to accept the conditions which were proposed. M. Guizot, considers the objections of Prussia to be worthless, and their consequences deplorable. It would be a violation of the right of nations to deny to Alsace and Lorraine the privilege of voting in the Nationil Assembly elections, but Prussia could make a reservation to the effect that she had not renounced her claim to these provinces when a Treaty of Peace should be considered. Prussia also showed her disregard of national rights in refusing to agree to the revictualling of Paris, and overlooked the essential principle of an armistice, namely, the maintenance of the status quo. The principle of natural justice which suggests the revictualling of a besieged city has' been acknow ledged in similar cases in the history of nations. It would have been easy for the Prussians to limit the supply of provisions which were sent into Paris, as they have succeeded in blockading it so effectually. While he holds that it would be honourable and wise of France to accept an armistice which was just and sincere, M. Guizot believes that Prussia has in directly refused the truce which was suggested by the neutral Powers. It remains then for France to pro ceed vigorously with the war, the responsibility of which can no longer rest upon her. BULLETIN DOCTORING. The German war bulletins have acquired a well earned reputation for accuracy; but it remains to be seen whether this love of truth will bear the test of defeat. Der Tang's :report of his losses would tend to prove that though it is easy to give the exact facts of victorious engagements, the tendency to " arrange" re ports of reverses is one common to French and Ger mans alike. Der Tann says that ho lost on the 9th 42 officers and 667 men killed and wounded, whilst lie adds, by way of contrast, " the French admit a loss of 2,000 men." The facts are these. The French esti mate of 2,000 includes the casualties of the 9th and 10th. Der . Tann gives his figures for the 9th, and says nothing of the 10th, nor of the 7th, when severe fighting took place. More than this, lie makes no reference to prisoners, of whom the French took about 2,000. If the Bava rian leader got off with a total lois of 5,000 he was fortunate. CANDIDATES FOIL TunoNEs. Such a book as Sir 11. Bnlwer's Life of Palmer ston appears at an unfortunate 'moment for the A: consistency of diplomatists. great deal has been said about the injustice, the absurdity, of the French Government asking a guarantee from King William that Prince Leopold should not accept the Spanish Crown. Unjust, absurd, or otherwise, it appears that the English did a similar thing forty years ago. The question was the candidature of the Due de Nemours, which was strongly opposed by England.. A letter on the subject from Lord Palmerston to Earl Granville is found in the re cently published " Life." It contains the following ex tract : " The Cabinet have considered the question of the Duc de Nemours, and have determined, as I tell_ you in my official despatch, that we must require from France the fulfilment of the engagement by a refusal to accept for him the crown, if offered. We are reluctant even to think of war. but if ever we are to make another effort this is a legitimate occasion, and we find that we could not submit to the placing of the Duc de Nemours on the throne of Belgium, without danger to the safety and a sacrifice of the honour of the country." TURKISH 'ARMAMENTS. If there is a chance of a war in the East, it behoves Turkey to be speedy with her preparations.. The reports go to prove that everything is sadly behind hand. At present the navy is so deficient in the requisites for .putting to sea that one English cor respondent at Constantinople says the ironclads could sot leave the Sea of Marmora " for Months." He adds:--" They have not coal enough for _pne day's consumption; there is no reserve depot for fuel, even at the arsenal at Haskeni; it would be necessary to go into the market, and purchase whatever was required. The want of fifty thousand tons of steam coal represents but a small difficulty to an English mind ; but it becomes a very tangible and serious difficulty when the whole of it,has to be brought out here from South Wales before it can find its way on board the Turkish iron-clads. But not only are there no men and no coal, but there are also no provisions, no stores, and no supplies for fitting ships out for any period." Of the army we hear less, but the general impression is that Russian troops could walk about the country with as much ease as it they were, say, brigands in. Greece. 150,Q00 men could take Con stantinople, say, our informant. SHERARD OSBORN ON IRON-CLAD SHIPS. Captain Slierard Osborn protests indignantly against the course pursued by the shipbuilding de partment of the Admiralty with respect to the Monarch and the Captain. He contends that to send two ships of such disproportionate stability to sea .to compete one against the other under canvas, without the fact being made known to the officers who com manded them, or to the admirals Who were respon sible for the ships - and lives under their charge, was an instance of gross incompetency if nothing worse. " Are we," asks Captain Osborn, ." to allow those who ought to have cautioned our officers of the danger they incurred in sailing the Captain in equinoctial gales to escape with impunity when, by the figures they now furnish, they acknowledge it was within their power to give information which would have saved her Majesty's ship Captain r Of . our ironclad fleet itself Captain Osborn has a poor opinion indeed, and thinks that a Royal Commission should be appointed to arrive at facts, irrespective of all party considerations. Captain Osborn believes that the principles sup ported by Captain Coles would be adopted, viz., low freeboards and heavy armour-plating, no masts or sails, motive power to be dependent on steam engines, moderate draught and size, so as to enable iron-clads to defend our own shores, or break into an enemy's port. These elements have been entirely lost sight of in the present British armoured fleet, says the critic, but he does not explain how to avert the danger which proved fatal to Captain Coles's own ship, and which Captain Burgoyne, the commander of the Captain, remarked upon some time since. When on board an iron-clad in a heavy sea an officer remarked to him that on the whole iron-clads rolled less than wooden two-deckers. Captain Burgoyne replied, "Yes, that is very true; to a certain point their steadiness is greater and the rolling.less, but if they get over that point I do not. see how they are to recover themselves." THE OFFICE OF JUDGE ADVOCATE-GENERAL. The post just vacated by Sir Colman,Q'Loghlen is one the nature and duties of which few of the public comprehend. The office, it has been re marked, is generally bestowed upon respectable politicians, whoa© principles must accord with those of the party in power, and whose legal know ledge is at least entitled to respect. Yet the business of the department is essentially of military, and not so much of political importance. The Judge- Advocate's court is a military court of supreme re view—a d epartment th rough which all matters relating to military law, except those of a trifling nature, must pass, and through the instrumentality of which the humblest soldier is scoured against a violation of the law. It is to be observed, however, that' the func dons of the office have heretofore been practically performed by a Deputy-Judge Advocate, who, although discharging most of the business, has been enabled, especially in the case of the present deputy-judge, to secure the full confidence of the army. Au apparently wise attempt accordingly is mooted, having for its object the amalgamation of the two offices- of Judge Advocate and Deputy Judge, and as a saving of £2,000 a year to the country will be - effected by the project if undertaken, there is mush reason . to be lieve that it might be carried out without serious detriment to the service most interested in the question. THE LONDON SCHOOL BOARD. Numerous meetings continue to be held in London at which the several candidates present themselves. Mr. Rogers, the founder of the system of middle class education, has put forward his claims for selec tion, which are based chiefly on. his practical services to the cause of education. At the Charterhouse Schools .he superintended 4,000 scholars, while, as one of the Royal Commissioners, he has had many opportunities of enlarged observa tion. Four candidates have been chosen by the City committee for recommendation to they City electors, and Sir John Lubbock, in reporting the selection of the Rev. E. Mackenzie, the Rev. M. Rogers, S. Morley, M.P., and. Mr. Hastings,' the chairman of the Council of the Social Science Association, explained that they represented different phases of thought, and were - ready at the same time to display the utmost impartiality. At Notting.hill Lord Lawrence has been addressing his supporters. He advocated education based upon the Bible. At Chelsea the - ratepayers have been 'listening to the exposition of the views of one of the lady candidates. Mrs. Grey, who is the widow of a nephew of Earl Grey the Reformer, ,is anxious to carry out a practical reform in our edu cation system. She' argued that the men on the Boards would represent the fathers of the children, and there ought to be some women to represent the mothers. Mrs. Grey spoke strongly of the import ance of giving girls practical household instruc tion, and quoted a letter from a friend of her own, the mother of a large family, who was also an efficient worker in schools. This lady said it Eng land wished to empty her workhouses she must begin by teaching the little female -children of the streets, for until ;the future • wives and mothers knew the value of thrift and cleanliness, men would never be raised above the public-house. FEIIEALE MEDICAL STUDENTS. Out of the 550 medical students in Edinburgh, 504 have, stated their objections to the admission to the infirmary, during the usual hours, of the ladies now studying medicine in that city. In the first place it is urged that many of the medical officers are opposed to the innovation. In the second place it is held that if the ladies are allowed to visit the wards at the usual hours, one of two things must necessarily result---;either that many subjects of the gravest medical importance will be imperfectly treated, or omitted altogether; or,inthe event of these subjects beingeutered into in detail, they (the objectors). would be compelled to; abstain from being present, whilst such topics were being discussed before a mixed audience. The students have brought these objections under the notice of the Managers of the University and Royal College of Surgeons, in the form of a memorial. They further point out that when they entered_ upon their hospital studies, they had no means of foreseeing the probability of their having to be pursued under such distasteful circumstances. Otherwise it would have influenced their choice of a school of medicine. The managers have decided to postpone their final decision in the matter. -.• RELAPSING FEVER IN TIIE NORTH. The publication of Mr. Cane's report to the Poor- law Board on the subject of relapsing fever has shown the alarming prevalence of that disease, paiticu larly in Liverpool ?LTA Manchester. From the favourable indications in March, the medical officer of the Privy Council was sanguine enough to en courage the hope that before the return of winter the plague would disappear. The hope which was then cheriShqd has been disappointed by what has occurred .in the Northern county. The fever made its appearance there at the end of May, and its ravages constantly increased. From Mr. Cane's report it would appear that the number of cases admitted to the hospital in the eummer months of last year was about ninety a week. In the middle of .Tuly of the present year the returns spew that the cases were double the number; by the end of October they bad risen to 1,375. These were only the patients treated in the hospitals. The instances of sick ness relieved out of the hospitals had increased from 29 in October, 1809, to 287 on October 29, 1870, the total cases relieVed out of hospital having increased from 1,552 to 2,104. Nearly 2000 additional cases of illness, of which 1,500 were of fever, had to be re- lieved in the Liverpool Union alone at the end of October. Toxteth parish, West Derby, Manchester, Salford, and Chorlton have greatly suffered from the disorder. The authorities deserve credit for vigour in providing hospital accommodation. THE ORGAN-GRINDING NUISANCE. We have been thwarted with caring so little for foreigners with organs as to allow them to play before deaf and dumb asylums for hours without informing them that no appreciative or charitably disposed audience was near. Latterly, owing to the war, every respectable street in English cities may be said to, have its organ-grinder, just as before it used to be our boast that each streethad its policeman. In these days the policemen, it would seem, have given way to the musicians, and unruly members of the community, like the serpents of foreign countries, are kept in alv e by the charm of soul-enslaving harmony. Mr. Ba4s's famous bill, framed with the object of decimating the number of our street musicians, at the prefient time is a dedd letter. The stupendous multitude of clarionet players, trombone bearers, and organ-men who find an asylum on our shores make it impossible for any man, however patient, to sally into the street at every fresh arrival, to inform the last corner that music is not at a premium -in that particular tho roughfare. Horrible to relate also, if any house holder should do this he is liable to be assassinated on the spot. A gentleman, who tried to admonish an evil-spirited Italian in one of the suburbs of London a day or two since, received the following note by next post You bad man. You want starve poor organ players. One will pay you for it. Dark night me watch, no fight, me get one knife. Look out, me warn you." Henceforth let us submit peaceably to a surfeit of the " food of love for the rest of our life. CARDINAL CULLEN AND THE EVIL TIMES. llis Eminence Cardinal Cullen considers that we are living in an age of indifference to all religion, or of absolute unbelief. All the confidence of man is riowplaced in natural agencies and human know ledge. Everything supernatural is denied, and phi losophers and political economists, puffed up with pride, like the wise men described by St. Paul, pre tend to exclude the providence of God from the management of this world. The consequence of this irreligion, the Cardinal says, is that in coun tries 'where God is not recognised, where war has been declared against Him, where Voltaire has been made an oracle or a prophet, where infidel education has been introduced, nothing can be perma nent, no order can prevail, and there can be no hope for the happiness and prosperity of a country in which a restless desire for change and a wild spirit of revolution destroys or paralyses every thing good. His Eminence finds consolation in the belief that the Church of St. Patrick has been pre served from such evils. He urges his rev, brethren in a pastoral to pray incessantly for the welfare of the Pope, who is, ho says, now a pri soner in the hands of his enemy, and suffering all the evils which attend a painful captivity. The Cardinal urges them to pray that the Pope may soon have a glorious triumph over his persecutors, and that the Holy See may be restored to peace and prosperity again. As to the final triumph of the Church under its supreme Head there call be no doubt. RICASOLI. , Baron Ricasoli has declared that he intends to retire from political fe. His has been a respectable, but•liOt a great'eareer, Born ii 4 1809 he meddled little . ,with politics during the period of Austrian influence in Italy ;.but the events of 1859 brought him to the front. , lie became Minister of the In terior, and after the annexation o f Tuscany shewed great ability in organising thafl)rovince as dictator, and in overcoming the difficulties invariably presented by the transference of a people. On the death of Cavour, Ricasoli was by public acclaim chosen to fill his place. Ile adopted the policy of the great statesman ; but lacked .his capacity. In 1862 . hiS Ministry fell, and Ratazzi reigned in his stead. On the eve of the great events of 1860, Ricasoli was again called to power, and guided the nation through that impor tant 'crisis. The Roman question, which he desired to settle in too open and candid a fashion, caused his fall: lie was beaten in the remarkable financial pro ject known as the Legrand-Dumonceau Soheme for appropriating the ecclesiastical property of the Church. Tie has had Menabrea and Rattazzi for successors, and they have not proved more efficient than he. The integrity of Ricasoli was his greatest merit. He conducted politics on principles of morality ; and had he joined sufficient ability to honour and virtue, the results of his rule must have been great. • _ MENTANA. Ths third of this month was the anniversary of Mentana, and many thousand Romans left the Eternal City on. that day to visit the spot where Garibaldi's legions fought so well, but so uselessly. All the houses in the . little village were decorated 'with black hangings. Long processions with veiled flags proceeded- to Vigna Santucci, where the action was fiercest, and many. a wreath of flowers was laid on the graves of the patriots. The story of the battle need not again be' retold. How the 5,000 ill-clad and-worse fed red-shirts beat the Papal soldiers at Monte Rotondo, how they attacked them again at Mentana, • and gradually qt the edvantage, how thp incompetent De Failly came up • and scattered the half-starved patriots with the Chassepot, is now part of Italian history. Montana is now avenged. The defeated leader of the' day is trying to 'retrieve the broken fortunes of his conquerors, and the name of the victorious general has become in three•months of war a bye word and reproach amongst military men. WANT AND CRIME IN INDIA. The intimate connection between want and crime is shown by the criminal statistics which reach us from India. The sanitary commissioner with the Government of India, in his last annual report, records that during the past year tlwre were, in the different gaols of the Bengal Presidency, a daily average of 61,998 prisoners, a number greatly in excess of any previous year. In the north-west provinces th e e xcess amounted to 9,183, in the Punjab to 3,053, arid in Oude to 1,428 persons. There can be but little doubt that this unsatisfactory state of things is the result of the widespread distress which characterised the Year, and Dr. Sutherland, Inspector-General of Prisons, remarks that " theft is the orime which fills the gaols, and its presence is regulated in a great measure by the price of food and the demand fox labour." The close relation between want and crime is shewn by the fact that the occupants of the gaols, commencing with a minimum in January, rose with slight fluctuation, reached their maximum in Septem ber, and then again declined after the reaping of the rain crop harvest, when food became cheaper and more plentiful, and petty crime diminished. The same causes also exercised a very unfavourable ill4 fluence on the statistics of s i c k ness an d mortality. Six hundred and fifty-four deaths occurred in t he gaols during the, year, the largest number by filr being due to bowel complaint, cholera, and fever. REPUBLICAN OR COSSACK ? The 4mericaris are beginning to call to mind the words of Napoleon's famous prophecy at St. Helena, in which he foretold that in another' half-01011 France would, be Republican or'Cossacls. The fifty yearn' interval has passed, and thou g h a' nephew Of the great Emperor has sat for eighteen years on the throne of Franee, he fills it no longer. The country is again. Republican, and the influence of the revolu tion is making itself felt in the palace of the Rusein ° Czar. The 'Cossacks are being summoned to the rescue, and hence the agitation perceptible in diplir matic circles and the rapid transit between th e Black Sea and the Neva, The great conflict . betwee ° RePublican and Cossack, is in the belief of the N . 8.7/ York politicians, close at hand. Turning to as words of Napoleon the First's memcrial, the Areer i " cans rejoice in his. prophecy of a general republic. " The Orleans branch," said the illustrious exil e ' "though acceptable, is too feeble; it partakes too much of the .other Bourbons, and it will meet. with the same fate. Once again France will be Republi" can, and the other countries will folloW her example . Germans, Prussians, Poles, Italians, Danes, Swede?, and-Russians, will unite with her in a crusade i° favour of liberty. They will' take up arms agains t their sovereigns, who will' hasten to make conces' sions so as to retain .part of their old authority' They will call themselves constitutional kinds With limited powers. Thus will the feudal system receive its death blow." Curiously enough, the great Eel' peror omitted Spain from his political programme' but yet in Spain the republican element is rapidlf acquiring formidable strer.gth. In the other cowl' tries there have been striking constitutional change% but among: ourselves the governing powers have been wise enough to make their concessions to the people in time to avert the crisis which he expected to result from the" bankruptcy of England," which was " to‘sliake the world and swallow up the kings and the aristocracies."

AN OTHER ROYAL MARRIAGE. The Marquis of Lorne is not to be allowed to retaahl the only member of the aristocracy who can boast of 4 0 matrimonial alliance with Royal blood. The young Duke of Norfolk is about to be advanced to a similar dig,nitY• It is true his bride is a foreigner. and, alas, an exile, but in the - present uncertain state of France who knows what there may be in store for the House of Orleans ? But whether they are restored to the throne of the Bourbons or not, it seems that the Duke is about to espouse one of the princesses of that House. •In that case, whatever may come of her brothers; the future lot of th e P r i ncess w ill b e cas t i n E ng l an d , an ° in all probability it will be quieter and happi er , an d not much legs illustrious than if she were to share with her family the uneasy possession of royalty in France.

Vice-Chancellor Stuart delivered judgment in the suit of " Tyler v. Yates," which was instituted by the creditor's assignee in the bankruptcy of the late Lord Arthur Clinton, for the purpose of settinc , aside a charge on his reversionary interest in.£30,000, payable on the death of his mother, which had been given by him to Messrs. Dickers and Yates, in consideration of various advances made by them to himself and his brother, Lord Albert Clinton, who at that period had not attained his majority. It seemed that the defendants carried on business together as money lenders and bill discounters, and advertised that they were prepared to make advances at a few hours' notice on the most adVantageous terms to noblemen; officers of the army, heirs to entailed estates, and gentlemen of property, on their per sonal' security, or that of reversions on landed estates at five per cent. In consequence of the advertise ment, Lord Arthur in 1864, being then only nineteen years of age, and being anxious to obtain money, was in duced to apply to the defendants for advances. Money was also advanced to Lord Albert Clinton, for whom hie brother became security ; but it was alleged that although the defendants claimed £4,800 to be "due, £1,410 only had been actually advanced, and that they had totally. •ignored their agreement by charging 80 instead of five per cent. Yates asserted, however, that he had paid £2,370 in cash, and that the 80 per cent. interest was only charged for three months after th e a d vance , an exac ti o n which; though apparently exorbitant, was perfectly justi fiable, in consequence of the risk that was involved in their lordships becoming bankrupt. The bill prayed a declaration that the bills, charges, and memo randa might stand only as security for such loans .as were actually advanced to their lord ships with 5 per cent. • interest, and for an account of the sale of Lord Arthur's reversionary in terest in the £30,000. The Vice-Chancellor strongly con demned the manner in which the defendants had acted, and ordered that as no accurate idea of the nature of the transactions could otherwise be ascertained, an inquiry should take place as to the amount actually advanced by Dickers for the use of both Lord Arthur and Lord Albert Clinton, the total to be paid with interest at 5 per cent. An injunction was also granted restraining the defendants from bringing an action for recovering the reversionary interest. A BODY WASHED ASHORE.—Another • dead body, supposed to belong to the Cambria, has been washed ashore at Magilligan, on the Londonderry coast. Several barrels of flour, and some wearing app are l h ave a l so been thrown in by the sea at Malin Head. THE COUNTESS OF MAYO. - The Countess of Mayo leaves for India this week.

THE EARLDOM OF SHREWSBURY AND TALBOT.--• The Hampshire Telegraph states that the claim to the earldom of Shrewsbury and Talbot is about to be revived by a gentleman formerly connected with one of the Ports. mouth banks, whose suit was heard before the Lord Chancellor some -few years ago. Fresh evidence, it is said, has recently been obtained. TUE SOCIETY OF AILTS.—This evening Lord Henry G.

He was " wanted " by the United States authorities, who telegfaphed to thepolice in Liverpool. Two detectives went on board the steamer Italy on her arrival ; but when they presented themselves before him, he took a loaded revolver from his pocket. Before he couldlevel it at the officers one of them seized the weapon. He is detained in custody, although it is not known with what offence the Amencans charge him. DEATH OF MR. RICHARD ROBINSON, OF OXFORD: —An Oxford correspondent says:—Deep regret is felt throughout the University at the early termination of a briiliant scholar's career. Mr. Richard Robinson, Fellow of Queen's, died on Monday, after a f ew d ays ' ill ness occasioned by inflammation of the bowels. Mr. Robinson was an open scholar of Worcester, gained a first class in classical moderations in Easter Term, 1864, a first class in the final classical school in Michaelmas Term 1865, and immediately afterwards a Michel fellowship at Queen's. Mr. Robinson, we believe, also passed high in the Indian Civil Service Examination, but did not avail himself of the opportunity of proceeding to India. Mn. SPURGEON'S OPINION OF RELIGION IN ENG LAND.—MI • Spurgeon has formed a bad opinion of the religious condition of England. He is reported to have said in a recent sermon : The Church of England seems to be eaten through and through with sacramentarianism, but Nonconformity appears to me to be almost as badly riddled with philosophical infidelity. Those of whom we thought better things are turning aside one by one from the fundamentals of the faith. At first it ' was the doctrine of the eternity of future punishment that had to be given up; now it must be the very doctrine of the Fall—first one thing, then another, the whole must go. They treat our doctrines as though they were all to be knocked down at their good pleasure when they choose to amend our theology. Through and, through, I believe, the very heart of Eng land is honeycombed with a damnable infidelity which dares still to go into the pulpit and call itself Christian."
