It is - quite natural that•they should do so, for the posi tion in which MACMAHON had planted himself is _ perhaps the most favourable in France for _ a successful attack by the Germans. We have said that the direct path to Metz being barred, the French Marshal was obliged to march by a semicircular route, the extreme northern • point of which adjoined the Belgian territory. The Germans, instead of marching round the arc of this semicircle, pushed across it, and, with their usual discrimination, caught the French at the northern ' point—a most awkward corner of Gallic ter ritory, entangled amongst rivers, and close to the hilly Belgian frontier. No better opportunity could be given the Germans. If MACMAHON were beaten in such a position, nothing short of a miracle could save him. The Germans attacked and they proved victorious. There can be no doubt of this. The Berlin accounts claiming victories at Beaumont and Carignan are supported by independent testimony ; the account given by the French official journal is very doubtful and claims no triumph; and, moreover, the news of Thursday's battle shews that the French have re treated since Tuesday. Sedan, near which the fight ing on Thursday took place, is north-west of both Beaumont and Carignan--,that is, it is further from Metz, the point MA cMAIioN desired to reach, and it is nearer the Belgian frontier, the locality of all others he most wished to avoid. The position alone is suf ficient to indicate the worst, to confirm all that we said yesterday of these operations. On Tuesday MACMAHON had half his force across the Meuse, and on that and the following day he was attacked on both sides and driven back. He retired perforce to Sedan, and there made another stand with his collec tive forces. The result is a disaster of the most fearful character. The situation left no hope of successful retreat. The only alternative was to win the battle or be ruined, and the Germans took care to accumulate such forces as to make the result sure. Anywhere else the Marshal might have retired his forces after a lost battle, and per haps made another fight. As the case stands, his amazing infatuation has brought him into a situa tion from which no considerable portion of his army can escape. To make the tale of French dis aster utterly complete, comes the news of a defeat of BAZAINE at Metz. He attempted to get out, but was driven back. TOPICS OF THE DAY. THE SUN, LOND 01\ , SAT UR D A SEPTEMBER 3, :8 70 MEDICAL SERVICE WITH THE ARMIES. It is to be regretted that the admission of foreign medical men to the German medical service at the theatre of war is subject to a condition which in a multitude of instances would prevent the members of the profession in this country supplementing the humane exertions of their brethren on the continent. In answer to applications made to the German authorities for information as to the terms and conditions of entering the medical service of that country, a communication has been received, which clearly demonstrates the sufficiency of the supply of native skill. Candidates for admission to the medical department of the German armies . must be members of the Royal College of Surgeons and licentiates of the Royal College of Physicians, or possess equivalent qualifications. No travelling ex penses will .be allowed to volunteers, who are expected to tender their services for the first fourteen days gratui- , tously. It is, moreover, imperatively necessary that the candidates should speak German fluently. These are hard conditions to impose upon those whose huma nity would induce them to undertake the arduous and unpleasant duties of attending the sick and wounded. The military hospitals and the battle-field open out a large experience for young men in the study of gunshot wounds and surgical injuries. most stringent condition is the ability of a volunteer to speak the German language, and but for this, doubtless many intelligent and aspiring young men would join the invading army's medical service. The 'UNITED GERMANY. It is said that the war is not only making Ger many a united nation, but also a united family. The leaders in the beneficent work of watching over and tending the sick and wounded (the two English Princesses among the number), are helping to accom plish this happy end. The gallant fellows who went out to fight with such high spirits for their native soil, little knew that the feelings 'of the highest in the land would so mingle themselves with those of their clearest relations as they have done. "Our friends the enemy," it is said, also come in for a large share of attention from the worthy women of the Fatherland, and so little discrimination have they shewn in their mission of goodwill and kindness that some surly guardians of the Rhine Provinces of Germany have begun to grow jealous and to complain in certain of the newspapers against the tenderness exhibited towards the fascinating, but wounded, foe. The Princess Alice, whose solicitude for and care of the late Prince Consort during his last illness was heralded far and wide in the winter of 1861, has been, as we have already said, one of the most remarkable in her systematic and intelligent supervision of the German hospitals,and taking example by her all the ladies of the Grand Ducal canital of Darmstadt, no matter what their rank, may now be seen each day vieing with each other for the wel fare of the sick, visiting the most dismal of cham bers, collecting needful appliances, and pre paring them for use, and devotin_r even rooms in their own dwellings as repositories for the accumulated articles. In other parts of the Father land thesame holy interest in the good work is shewn, and it is no uncommon sight now in some of the largo towns to see carriages recently occupied by the most aristocratic of German families passing through the streets filled with mattcriel of all kinds en route to the ambulances. WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF THE WAR. Now that the effort to procure funds for the bene fit of the sick and wounded in the war has been . fairly successful in England, and that the courses of supply have been freely opened, s€:veral charitably minded people have begun to think of two other classes of our fellow creatures, who will be placed a . state of sore trial and need by the We refer to the widows and orphans of soldiers killed on the field. A first list has been issued, with the name of the Marchioness of Ailesbury at its head, of ladies who have already responded to an appeal for .the purpose of relieving those 1-ft without husbands or fathers. The new British Institution of Artists, moreover, alive to the urgency of the case, has philanthropically an nounced its intention of holding an exhibition of pictures with a view of rendering assistance in the same direction. Funds recaived through this channel, however, are only to be applied to alleviating German families, and it is there fore to be hoped that some other Society of artists will not be behindhand in allowing their pic tures to be shewn publicly for the help of the pea santry of France. No doubt all appeals w ill b e answered in England in a way which will prove to both nations that we are, in the true sense of the word, a religious people. war INSTEAD of an Alpentock, a white arm-bandage with a red cross upon it—that is the sign of your tourist on the Continent for September 1870. A noble device and an enviable ! Instead of running the risk of breaking your own neck in the endeavour to get to the top of something worthy of being called an Alpine height, doing your very uttermost to soothe the anguish of your fellow creatures. Members of the House of Commons are at this work on their (nominal) holidays Disdaining the delights of grouse shooting, of pheasant shooting, of partridge shooting, of deer stalking, and of salmon fishing, they are off to the seat of war, they are there walking the hospitals after a new fashion, after the manner of amateurs, and yet in the strictest sense professionally. Alto gether, as wise and generous and elevating an application of their energies during a long vacation as well could be. It is another instance of good coming out of evil. If modern warfare is more frightfully destructive than warfare as it was of old, the care taken of the wounded in battle . is proportionately increasel The mitrailleuse has superseded the catapult, the ChasspOt has eclipsed Brown Bess ; in place of the vew-bows the foot soldiers have their arms of pre cision. But, while this is so, there is for the poor knight in hospital about to lose a limb in the hope of saving his life thiough some torment ing amputation—the beneficent agency of the handkerchief saturated with chloroform. Added to all which sanitary precautions are now the rule, in every camp, as well as in connection with every in dividual ambulance, that our forefathers never dreamt of as at all worth caring for. Lives are destroyed, no doubt, now-a-days, more fearfully, and more by whole sale. The carnage upon a foughten field is more appal ling in its magnitude and in its devastating character. One reads of whole regiments being stretched dead upon the field, the men lying side by side in straight lines like dominoes tumbled clown—the soldiers having been swept down as they stood there. But while this is so, unhappily—running parallel with the horrible destructiveness of modern warfare, there •is the benign agency of which the principal ambulance of each army may be regarded as the headquarters. From participation in this important branch of service in the campaign even neutrals are, happily, in no way debarred. England and Belgium may provide lint and bedding, drugs and ointment, linen and nourishment, anodynes .and anmsthe tics ad libitum in this way to either of the belli gerents.

Many instances have been recorded of our venturesome countrymen being arrestel on suspicion of being Prussian spies, and having to undergo intolerable hardships. This in the disturbed condition of France may be easily accounted for by the excitement which per vades the country, particularly the invaded .dis tricts. It is almost natural that an ignorant mob or a benighted peasantry should see in every foreigner an enemy to their country ; but one might reason ably expect a different state of things from those in authority. But it seems that the officials are as ignorant as those they govern. Among many instances confirmatory of this view we have the case of a correspondent to a London daily news paper, who, finding Paris somewhat irksome under the present arrangements, made an excursion to pretty Enghien. While reading the Gaulois he was observed by a peasant, whose imagination becoming excited, declared, despite an emphatic disclaimer to the contrary, that the unfortunate visi tor was a Prussian spy. The correspondent was soon surrounded by an infuriated mob. He was taken to the Alaire, who doubted his word and the genuiness of his passport, and finally he was sent to the nearest post of Gendarmerie with an unpleasant escort of peasants. After travelling a distance of ' five miles they reached the Gendarmerie; the chef was not at home, and the sous-chef could not read. A pleasant situation truly But the Englishman's troubles were not yet over. After being searched he was conveyed a further dis tance of eight miles to the Juge do la Paix attended by a howling mob of 500 persons. The Juge, on examining the captive's papers, ordered him to be set at liberty, merely shrugging . his shoulders on being acquainted with the vicissitudes the prisoner had undergone, and going off to bed. The English man was 26 miles from Paris, but he E was fortunate enough to procure a cart, and he returned to the capital. mean temperature only one degree cooler ; and the greatest of its advantages is its equability of tempera ture and the absence of extreme change. At Cairo a sanatorium purposely for delicate foreigners is about to be established by an English lady, a MrS. James Appleton, who, according to the Lancet, has herself undergone a considerable amount of hospital training. The recommendations in favour of Cairo consist in the climate being peculiarly alleviating to all chest complaints. It is also bright and clear, and its supe riority, taken in connection with the many portions of surrounding country possessing interest for the stranger, are the principal inducements that can. be offered for an Egyptian trip. TOBACCO SMOKING. It seems that it is not positively right to suppose that tobacco destroys all a man's energies. On the contrary, it is now believed that so far from being injurious outright to health, it counteracts or acts as an antidote to the poison inhaled always from the foul atmosphere around us. The success of the Germans in the present war is rather a feather, a Contemporary remarks, in the smoker's cap, inasmuch as it has.proved that a smoking army is capable of greater endurance and of making greater efforts than a non-smoking army. The Lancet observes that men of abstraction and imagination, if we may judge from the prevalence of tobacco-smoking among them, unquestionably appear to find an aid in tobacco. Cigars or a pipe, too, preserve an equanimity in the nervous system " For the wounded," the same paper adds, " it is probable that tobacco has slight anodyne and narcotic properties that enable the sufferer to sustain pain better during the day, and to obtain sleep during the night." FOX HUNTING, The lovers of fox hunting will have a happy time of it this season. In the eastern counties the season has been inaugurated in a very vigorous manner and the hunt promises to be of a very brilliant character. It is well known that for the last two years the Prince of Wales haS refrained from appearing in the field in Norfolk, although he is a subscriber to the Hunt. This retirement occasioned great disappointment, not to say grief, to those who follow the hounds, and they are now in a state of great elation that his Royal Highness is going once more to take part in the sport. The Cambridgeshire Hunt feud is said to have subsided, and the excitement consequent upon the retirement of Mr. Newton, the master of the hounds, last sea son through a quarrel with Colonel Buncombe, M.P., owner of Waresley Park, has passed away. New kennels are to be constructed, the cost of which will be defrayed by subscription. Mr. C. Lindall, son of Colonel Lindall, of Biggleswade, the head quarters, is the successor of Mr. Newton. A CIVIC BELLIGEILENT. A man is in custody in Dublin on a charge of nearly killing a policeman. Hearing that a fellow in a neighbouring street was threatening to "do away " with his wife, two constables hurried from their beat to a place called Cole-alley, where they found a woman lying on the flags bleeding. They ' took her to the nearest hospital, and, her wounds having been dressed, thence to a police station, where she preferred a charge against her husband. The policemen subsequently arrived at the man's house, where he assailed: them, saying " he would cut the head off any policeman who went into it." Police-constable Maguire, 104 A, having braved the lion ancl entered his den, was rushed upon, it is stated, by the man, who appeared more like a wild beast than a human being, and in furtherance of his project of taking off the constable's head, he tore a large wound in the back of Maguire's neck. Finally, the second policeman prevented posi tive murder by stepping gently, in strict accordance with the general police regulations on the subject, within the door of the dangerous house. Ultimately the injured policeman was taken to hospital, where he now lies, and the hero of Cole Alley was lodged in gaol. A man who first half kills his wife, and who, atter a time in which he might have become penitent, perpetrates a fresh and equally savage crime, must be a systematic ruffian, and one whom it behoves the law to visit with a hard and instructive punishment. v zs, T - ' HER MAJESTY.

Coutts, Strand, have cc nsentecc to receive subscriptions in aid of the British Charitable Fund, and will place them to the credit of the Hon.

The object of this fund is to enable the poorer English--particularly women— who have had employment in Paris to return to England. Perhaps I may be allowed to add that, without wishing to diminish from the subscriptions that are freely flowing in in aid of the wounded of both nations, we' may properly consider the hard, and in too many cases the helpless condition of those who, having no means of laying in provisions in an ticipation of a siege, are required at a few days' notice to leave the town, but are wholly unable to comply with the requisition.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, __ OARNARVON. 66, Grosvenor-street, 2nd September, 1870.

TILLETT M.P., ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS.—In the course of an address to his constituents at Norwich on Thursday evening, Mr. Tillett, M. P. , dwelt at some length on the desirability of England maintaining her attitude of neutrality during the present war. Her present military force was hot sufficient to enable her to take part in a European war; on the oth er h an d , our navy was corn petetent to deal with the united navies of the world—that of the United States excepted. He hoped the navy would continue to be maintained in thorough efficiency. Re ferring to his brief Parliamentery career, Mr. Tillett stated that he had found Mr. Gladstone a high-minded and conscientious statesman; and, although on one or two points he had felt bound to vote against the Govern ment, he had generally given them a hearty support. , -.llllt GARIBALDI AND ITALY. . • The Weekly Register has the following :—Garibaldi has written a letter to his friends to join in protest against the action of the Government in refusing to march Italian troops on Rome. The letter runs thus :—" CAPRERA, 16 Agosto, 1870.—Dear friend,- I have signed the protest and return it. It is worthy of you all, but Italians should prepare themselves for more serious and earnest work than merely protesting against being guardians of the filth of Rome ; Bonaparte will never return to Paris, and the devil will carry him off in his talons. This is a victory for all nations which have been betrayed, and for us a lesson which we shall do well to make use of. A few years ago, Prussia, now the greatest and first Power in the world, had only a population of 18,000,000. We, in Italy, have 25,000,000. What the devil are we, then, Sheep ? Did Alfieri lie when he said the plant man was more robust in Italy than elsewhere. —Always yours, G. GARIBALDL—GIoss on the above. The "filth of Rome" in the Garibaldian vocabulary stands for the Holy Father, the cardinals, the bishops vi partibus, the parish priests, the monks, nuns, and other religieuse of the city. NOTES FROM ROME. The following extraordinary statement reaches us from Rome :,---A great sensation has been produced at Rome by , the arrival at Civita Vecchia of the English ironclad Defence, having on board 450 soldiers. The cap tain instantly paid a visit to the commandant of the fort, but excused himself from receiving a return visit on the ground that he was obliged by his orders to go at once to Rome to deliver dispatches from the English Foreign Office. He has since had an audience of the Pope. The Vatican affirms that he is the bearer of an important communication to the Pontifical Government, and some go so far as to state that the Defence has come prepared to receive the Pope on board, and convey him to Malta. —Pall Mall Gazette. Everything promises well for a respectable representa tion of English Catholics in the Papal Army. Mr. Power, M.P. for Wexford, Mr. Oswald Vavasour, and Mr. Wilifrid Watts Russell have arrived for the defence of the Holy See. - The name of the brothers Russell is too dear to the Zouaves and to all English Catholics not to make the return of Mr. Wilfrid Russell one of the most welcome re-engagements recorded: Numerous arrivals are expected on Wednesday. Among those who have received com missions are the Comte Charles d'Ursel, and the eldest son of Prince Rospiglioso. The former appointment is understood to be a recogni tion of the immense services both in men and money the Belgian Papal Defence Committee has rendered and is rendering the Holy See. Other promo tions are expected in a few days in proportion to the increase of the recruitment.

DTTNCOURT.—Mr. D'Eyn court, we are happy to state, although much bruised and shaken by the severe accident which befell him on Wed nesday, was on Thursday able to take his seat on the bench at Marylebone Police-court. THE MARQUIS OF BUTE.—The Marquis of Bute has contributed the munificent sum of £lO,OOO towards the Catholic Education Crisis Fund.— Weekly Register. The Echo has a Berlin telegram to the effect that Prussia will demand as the terms of peace that the German Frontier shall be the line of the Moselle, includ ing Metz. MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS.—We understand that the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Lowe are expected at the end of the week at the Scotch residence of Mr. Bass, M.P., Glentulchan, Inverness. Dr. Wynter, writing to the Echo, says : — (4 It is quite true that Lady Mordaunt's health has been im proving, both physically and mentally, since she has been at Chiswick, but I may be permitted to add that she remains under my medical charge and care." Dr. Wyn ter adds that his house is neither a public nor a private asylum. THE BICYCLE AS A VEHICLE.—The Echo says e bicycle does not maintain the position it achieved a ear ago. It was then thought that it would become a very general mode of travelling, especially for rural curates and postmen. But we have not heard that either the Ecclesiastical Commissioners or the Post Office have given orders to the bicycle manufacturers. A COOL REQUEST.—At a meeting of the general purposes committee of the Town Council of Manchester, held on Thursday, a letter was read from Major Clapham, of the Ist Manchester Rifle Volunteers applying for as sistance in providing a new d r ill shed. 'After an animated discussion, the application was refused, on the ground that the Municipal Act prevented the expenditure of Corporation funds on such purposes. MEAT SUPPLIES TO FRANCE.—AImost every morning during the last week or tw o l arge cons i gnments of meat, chiefly quarters of beef, have been sent from the Bricklayers' Arms Station of the South-Eastern Railway to France. Immense consignments of bacon continue to be shipped from the port of London to France, a great portion of it being Irish fed pork. Large .orders from France not only for salted meat provisions, but for every description of preservable eatable, are said to be in the hands of London,. Liverpool, Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin merchants. SMALL Pox IN IRELAND.—The success with which small-pox has been stamped out of Ireland by the careful enforcement of vaccination continues, we are glad to find, unabated. Only one death from small-pox is reported in the whole of Ireland during the quarter ending June, 1870. The few cases that have occurred were traced to direct importation. When shall we see this country as carefully guarded by the thorough and salutary enforcement of the law ? Not, we fear, while the power of carrying it out lies so largely as it does now in the hands of boards of guardians.—Pall Mall Gazette. FRENCH PATRIOTISM.—On Wednesday night the steamer Thomas Wilson, belonging to Messrs. T. Wilson, Sons, and Co., arrived at Hull from St. Petersburg, having amongst her passengers fourteen young Frenchmen from St. Petersburg, en route for Paris, to join the French army. The had all left good situations as c l er k s at offices different at St. Petersburg, and their demeanour was serious and earnest. The Dunkirk steamer had left a few hours before their arrival, so the French vice-consul, Mr. T. F. Hewitt, forwarded them to London. THE CHoLEn.A.—We regret to have to announce that cholera is extending in South-Eastern Russia, and that it has appeared at Rostow, on the Don , at Kertch, and at Odessa. The Journal d e St. Petersbourg of the 11th instant announces twenty-three cases and ten deaths from the epidemic at Rostow, and nine cases and four deaths at Kertch. The appearance of the disease is alone announced at Odessa in a communication dated the 4th instant. The latest news from Taganrog states that from the 25 1- h of June to the 18th of July 118 cases of the malady occurred in that town, seventy-five of which ended fatally.—Lancet. BRITISH OFFICERS WITH THE FRANCO-PRUSSIAN ARMY.—We are enabled to state that permission has not been accorded to military medical officers to give their services in the hospitals of the French or Prussian armies. Two army medical officers have, however, been accredited to the French army for the purpose of studying the system of hygiene and hospital arrangements in the field. Deputy Inspector - General Gordon, C.B. has been selected for this d u ty ; an d Surgeon-Major Wyatt of the Coldstream Guards will aid in these inquiries, under the direction of Dr. Gordon. Professor Parkes, F.R.S., has been granted permission to visit the Prussian army in the field.—British Medical Journal. SEASIDE LODGINGS AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES.— There is a very salutary section in the Sanitary Act of 1866 which we commend to the notice at the present time of all, visitors to those seaside places to which convales cents are likely to repair or have recently repaired. This section provides that anyone who shall knowingly let any part of a house in which a person suffering from a dan gerous infectious disorder has been to any other person without having it, or articles in it liable to retaininfection, disinfected to the satisfaction of a medical man, as tested by his certificate, shall be liable to a fine of not less than £2O. We know that scarlet fever. for instance, is spread from family to family by the wilful neglect of this pre caution, and the carelessness of the public also in refe rence to the occupancy of fouled lodgings. Is the public, before deciding upon lodgings they propose to secure, would only take the trouble to ask the simple question whether there had been in the house anyone suffering from any infectious disease, they would save themselves from many sad occurrences which are entirely preventible. Lancet. WILLS AND BEQUESTS.—The will of the Right Hon. Stanhope, Baron Hawke ' of Towton, and of Pp-1.: House, near Pontefract, Yorkshire, was proved at Wake field under £30,000 personalty.—The will of the light Hon.

It is his wish that his son Charles shall become a partner in the bank on his attaining the age of twenty-five. He concludes his will in these words :—" I was born and brought up in France, and I have been in England for the . purpose of devoting myself to mercantile business. My intention has never been that of abandoning my nationality.”—lllustrated London News. LORD HOBART ON. WAR. Ft r more than thirty ye ars ( sa y s L or d Hobart) the French- revolutionary war Europe enjoyed Prnk t i. peace. War seemed to have become an obsolete barbari ty standing armaments pressed lightly on the taxpayer' as brains of ingenious men were no longer employed in t d invention of machines for larcerating and blowing e 1 , 1 ,,s life their fellow-creatures, arms yielded to the nie Victories, indeed, there were, but they ,00 those of such great commanders as Watt, Arkwilfr and Cobden, and somehow the world seemed non e e l less happy. The noble lord declares that of late can hardly be said to have shrunk from war as an e"„gt itself. Anyone who has watched events w t y see that war has come to be considered o t, natural and necessary solution of imPer t 'di, and even of unimportant, international , be i / putes. Nations nolonger go to war only to avengeet own defeats, but also to avenge the defeats of others. .to fight now to see which is the Strongest, and, not likb., confess this, they invent pretexts which they adnonb.o nothing more. In discussing the cause of this relapse l iie ) barbarism, Lord Hobart says that, setting aside lot minor items as Carlylism, mu scu la r Christianity, 0 %0 ' like, it io attributable to one simple cause—ener n ei armaments in time of peace. The order of creatioaud not exclude from the scope of possibility perms, peace ; what it does exclude is peace, even for a fey Y e if , when everyone is armed to the teeth against his neighl ) °,i's• France and Prussia are now engaged in mutual trilc o j tion chiefly because they possessed the means nee,.° s3 o for the purpose. Russia, Austria, and Italy are, ra n a, same reason, ready at a word to join the dance of de iv 'o There is, his lordship points out, but one to a better order of things, and it is tii T after the peace, disarmament. It , is to be hope.d ,ot the carnage and horrors of the last few days will„ i lij„ turned men's minds irresistibly in that direction. S Thy this hope be disappointed there is everything to fear. t y world cannot be expected to tolerate much lougero scandal of such frightful scenes and the burden of 0 wide-spread suffering. THE TRAGEDY AT CAMBERWELL. ' Yesterday mornino. Mr. W.
