Somb: rather severe remarks have been made at the expense of Mr. GLADSTONE for having contributed an article to the Edinburgh Review on the Franco- Gertnen war. It was perhaps not a very prudent act. It may be said that there is no more reason why thw First Minister should not express his opinions in writing than why Mr. BRUCE and Mr. LOWE should express theirs viva voce. This is true enough, and it would hive been a suilleient answer if Mr. GLADSTONE had maintained ministerial caution in his capacity as a reviewer. It can hardly be said that he has done this. Remarks to the effect that " France does not know and cannot discover how to constitute herself;" that " the system 'of NAPOLEON 111., which worked despotic power under the mask of universal suffrage, aggravated the evil (loss of civic individuality and the . consequent debasement of French politics to the Mahometan and Oriental model) by concealing it these and many other expressions equally decided may pass ranger, though they border on the very verge of indiscretion, and would have excited sur prise if the author of them had used them in a speech to his constituents, still more in a speech in the House of Commons. But there are other pas sages which certainly are exceedingly indiscreet, con sidering the place that Mr. GLADSTONE fills. The Duc DE GRAMONT is " that infatuated Minister ;" "The OLLIVIER Administration pursued its insane career ;" "A. lying spirit had gone forth from the Courts of Heaven to possess and misguide, with rare and ineffectual exceptions, the prophets of the land ;" "A spirit of perverse and constant error seems to have governed from the first the ruling powers of France ;" the dispute about the Belgian railways in 1869 is described as a " trumpery affair ;"—lt is in such wise that the Prime Minister of England records in writing his opinion of French Ministers and French policy. He is impartially frank, however. It is not only France whom" he visits with his criticism, Prussia comes in for her share, " The foreign policy of Prussia if it has been sans pear, has assuredly not been sans reproche. "Between the piety of the King of PRUSSlA—which we believe never failed him during the Danish transactions—and the policy of the. Chancellor of . the Confederation, which, what ever else it may have been, has not been Pharisaical,. we are sore put to it to decide whether, in the .ad ministration of its great prerogative, Germany will he.worthy of the confidence of Europe r —words like these will scarcely be acceptable at Versailles, will . hardly assist Lord GItANVILLE ill his efforts to restore peace. For that reason ,we cannot but regret that they have been published. Incontinence of speech has always been rather a failing with Mr. GLADSTONE, and it has sometimes worked him serious harm. In the present case we fear that it may work harm to Europe. Ot course this article is deeply interesting, not only from what it tells us of Mr. GLADSTONE'S esti mate of the actors in the present tragedy, but also from the revelations which it affords of certain inci dents that had not come to the public knowledge, and from the conclusions which the writer has fel reed respecting the part England must play. The readers of Mr GLADSTONE'S article will learn for the first time that when this country proposed to the two combatants that they should sign a treaty binding themselves to respect the neutrality of Bel gium, Count BISMARCK found twenty-four hours sufficient - for him to form his own judgment, obtain the consent of his sovereign by telegraph, and bind himself by a conclusive acceptance. The Due DE GRAMONT, on tho other hand, "began to haggle." "First one explanation was riece,ttry, and then another. Nor was its principle left without criticism. The treaty might be signed, • but the French Minister could not seethe us of it." To which Mr. GLADSTONE adds, " Now, surely, it re quired very little discernment to perceive the use of it for France, whatever it might be for Belgium. The I3ISMARCK-BENEDETTI treaty hal startled and had shocked the world." The Belgian treaty gave both parties an opportunity of purging them selves. Prussia embraced it eagerly, France "haggled," and although the proposal was made 'to her several clays before it was made to Prussia, it was not till many days after Prussia had given her consent that " the lagging answer of the French Minister, thus distanced in the race, was given." • Mr. GLADSTONE is 'Very sanguine about the future. The " streak of silver sea " which sepa ates England from the Continent delivers her from the temptation to aggrandisement which besets other European Powers, and consequently makes them in their quarrels look to England as arbitrator and counsellor. They cannot suspect her, Mr. GLADSTONE thinks, " not because she is believed to be exempt from infirmity, but because she is known not to be exposed to tempta tion." It is for this reason that "in every quarrel, in every difficulty, it is her aid that is most courted ; it is by her agency that the parties, if they seek a mediator, prefer to •come together; it is under her leadership that neutrals most desire to move." Mr. GLADSTONE might have added, it is England which gets the most roundly abused by both sides, and yet not have contradicted himself, for it is because so Much is expected of England that the disappointment is so keen when she does not answer all. those expectations. At the same time we fear that the Premier has taken too favourable a view of England's influ ence. England counselled, at the outset of the quarrel, the resort to international arbitration, which . both France and Prussia had recommended at the Paris Congress in 1856 ; but neither of them would adopt the suggestion ; both of them were resolved to fight. • At the present mo ment English mediation has failed to obtain even a temporary cessation of hostilities. The truth is that while England has of late years accepted, partly from choice, partly from necessity, her position as that of a neutral in continental quarrels, and though her sur render of the lonian Islands and her victorious march in Abyssinia and her march back without retaining a foot of ground, have to a certain extent proved her sincerity, it cannot be forgotten that this policy of renunciation and abstinence is of very recent adop tion. We cannot expect other nations to imitate our example immediately. Fifteen years ago we were still making - wars of conquestin Asia, and it does not follow that "because we are now sated with territory and have more, than we know what to do with, all the rest of the world is to remain .content. Mr. GLADSTONE'S arguthent reminds one rather too much of the gour mand who said "I have dined; let every ono say grace." If the - elephantine BISMARCK, for . whoso trunk no object is too large or too small, shOuld read our Premier's article, he will probably quote against him England's greatest poet : " Dost thou think because thou art virtuous there shall be no more cakes and ale !—"Yes, by St. Anne ; and ginger shall be hot i' the mouth too," ONE of the most unsatisfactory features of Amari can diplomacy is its want of straightforwardness. English diplomatists often bungle, but at least what they say and do is above board; they are single eyed, have one object in view, and they set it forth and follow it without arriere pensee. It is far otherwise with the diplomatists of the United States. They are accustomed to con si,:er, not oaly what is best for the nation, but also what is best for themselves and their party. Not unfrequently the two ends are incompatible, and oven opposed. There can be no question, for instance, that it would have been highly advan tageous to the States if General GRANT and the Senate had accepted and ratified the CLARENDON-JO HNSON convention for the settlement of the Alabama claims. The concessions made by this country were very great, greater probably than England will be prepared to make again. „Nevertheless the treaty was ignomi nously torn in half, and Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON was recalled. We . now have another chapter in the history of this wearisome negotiation. The able Philadelphia correspondent of the Times states that the persons who had suffered loss by the Alabama lately asked Mr. JOHNSON if he thought the British Government would be disposed to ack nowledge their claims- and compensate them for their losses individually, and with Out waiting for a settle- Ment of the whole dispute. The ex-Minister, who had formed a decided opinion as to the readiness of this country to act justly in the matter, replied that he had no doubt those claims would be met. They were then laid before Lord CLARENDON, about a month previously to his death. That statesman at once very properly asked, If we consent to pay these claims to the holders of ihein; how will the United States Government view it—favourably or un favourably?—and will they not add this to the already long list of sins charged against England ?" He added " If you can get a word of consent from th6United States Government, so that England shall not fear a misconstruction of what she does, I can get your money as fast as you can count it." Application was thereupon made to the Washington Govern ment by the representatives of the claimants so long ago as last July. - But up to the time that the Philadelphia correspondent's letter, was written, (Oct. 24) no answer to this application, except a bare acknowledgment of its receipt, had been made, by Mr. Fisu. Thus, the Washington Government having made itself legally liable for the claims, will neither itself pursue the matter nor authorise the claimants to do so. We fear that this inaction is part of a designed policy. It is intended by General GRANT to reserve this Alabama question as a trump card to Play when the political exigencies of his party shall kr.quire it to influence • the elections. More than this, we sadly fear that General GRANT has no. intention of settling this dispute amicably— that he prefers to keep it ,open againet the time w:. en he thinks he can safely make it a easus belli. The condition of Europe is so critical, the prolongation of the Franco- German war is so dangerous even to neutrals, and it it is so probable that some of them may be drawn into it, that the American President and his Cabinet may well think it worth while to refuse a friendly ar rangement in which there must be giving and taking on either side, in the hope of being enabled to enforce a settlement by which the United States will get all that she wants, and a great deal more than she . deserves. Such policy would be completely in accordance, with that which has been revealed by the recently published letters of Mr. DALLAS. It is not an honest policy, and it is an exceedingly perilous policy. We trust that there are in the United States sufficient statesmen, as distinct from mere politicians, to prevent the continuance of a course so detrimental to the welfare of two great nations and the peace of the world.

To THE RATEPAYERS OF THE DIVISION, ET.ECTORS, At the request of Inhabitant Ratepayers of each of he four Parishes, 1 submit myself as a Candidate for a seat at he Metropolitan School Board. I desire that every child in England be educated, and that the education be as complete as may be consistent with the age at which he must enter upon the business of life. I cannot deem any education complete which does not include religious subjects. 1 desire that the Bible be not only read but taught :: and am convinced that the Education Act may be loyally and honestly carried out without any violation of the rights of conscience. I desire the preservation and jextension of voluntary Schools, and am certain that by co-operation with them the Ratepayers may be spared many unnecessary burdens on the Rates. Schools conducted by private teachers when "suitable and efficient" will continue to render valuable services side by side with the rate-built and voluntary Schools, and will complete our future system. All three classes of Schools will benefit by friendly competition. The reform of Grammar Schools, and other endowed schools, advances. I trust that the influence of the new School Boards will be exerted in favour of free admissions to those Schools as the reward of merit to Scholars in Elementary Schools. A Sunday School Teacher in early days, I have never ceased to take an Active interest in Education ; and have had opportuni ties of bearing part in many schemes for the foundation or im provement of Elementary Schools. As one of the Honorary Secretaries of the National Educction Union, I have been called upon to watch the course of recent discussions, and render such aid as was possible to the main tenance of religious education. Having served for some years on the Council of one of the Metropolitan Training Colleges, I have had occasion to acquire practical information with reference to the training of Teachers. Valuable at all times as have been the services of Teachers, their influence upon the working of the new system will in great measure determine the success of the Act. - The lamentable condition of the Public Health arises, in my judgment, from the entire neglect of all sanitary teaching in schools. Having devoted myself for a considerable period to the investigation of this subject as a member of the Royal Sani tary Commission, I feel the deepest interest, and trust that the introduction into the schools of elementary instruction on the physical laws of health may aid in creating a sound public opinion, spare many lives, and avert much suffering and poverty. The English nation should at least live in healthy homes. I can devote to your service abundant leisure ' • and if, in the course of events, I return to parliamentary life, I trust that your interests will not suffer from the opportunity thus afforded of defending the Education Act against unwise attack, while advo cating every reform which experience may hereafter recom mend. I• shall hope to have dpportunities of appearing before !you, but the vast area of the Divisicn will render it a task of great difficulty to reach all districts. I am, your obedient Servant, FRANCIS SHARP POWELL. 1, Cambridge-square, Hyde Park, 7th November, 1870. CITY of LONDON HOSPITAL for DISEASES of tht CHEST, Victoria Park.

As the Times'correspondent remarks; they had the strongest inducements to civil strife, but they con trived, 'nevertheless, to keep inviolate their deeply cherished resolution not to quarrel in the face of the enemy. It cannothe said that this moderation was due to' cowardice. The Red leaders are; many of them, quite ready to fight. " The most prominent in yes terday's affair, M. Flourens, is brave to temerity, and that yesterday's coup cretat was first made and then marred so quietly was probably due in no slight degree to his resolve rathei to sacrifice his projects and submit to the ridicule of a fiasco than to cause blood to be spilled in civil war." lie probably thought the business could be managed without any difficulty. THE PRESENT ASPECT OF PARIS. The change which has passed over what Mr. Dis raeli called "the airy and bright-minded city of the Seine" in consequence of the war, amounts to a complete metamorphose. In the Place do la Con corde and Champs Elysoes, formerly the resort of the leaders of fashion and pleasure, nothing is to be seen but companies of National Guards and trains of artil lery waggons, and these not bearing the trim ap- Rv.rance and flute familiar to Parisians in the days of grand reviews or military spectacles, but dusty and wearied. The only vehicles which pass to and fro the Bois are provision waggons and ambulance carts. The broad walk from the Ruo do Rivoli to the Seine is ono vast park of artillery, and hundreds of horses are stationed under the chestnut trees, where nursery maids congregated with the juvenile aristocrats of Paris. The boulevards are still full of life, though a ery different kind of life from the old one, and along the Madeleine numbers of the shops are closed, the shutters bearing the inscription "Closed on Account of Military Duty." The 4venue de l'lmp6ratrice has become the Avenue G6n6ral Uhrich, and is scarcely recognisable. The road, which was one of the fashionable resorts, is blocked by three barricades ) the houses are deserted, and the gardens riddled with pits. Barracks stand on the spot occupied by the Great Exhibition. In the place whore the triumphs of peace and pro gress were celebrated the tramp of the sentinel is heard without ceasing, and the battalions prepare for ex,.!rcise. At the Point du Jour the Prussian flag can be seen with the naked eye. The ramparts frown with cannon. BelleNille is rougher than ever, and at Les Mlles the fishmongers sell horse liver in place of turbot and salmon. Horse and donkey, indeed, appear in various forms all over Paris, and when they disappear, the changed aspect of the city which led the fashion in the cuisine as in the toi lette, will be even more serious than now. AMERICAN VIEWS OF FRENCH PROSPECTS. If French enthusiasts can succeed in obtaining copies of the New York papers, they must be mor tified at the unanimous conviction of the hopeless ness of their cause entertained by their Republican friends across the Atlantic. The fall of Metz has virtually settled the question in the minds of the American journalists. The capitulation of Metz, says the k New York Times, is the beginning of the end. It is a deadly blow to a losing cause. The last ves tige of complete military organisation has gone with Bazaine, and though desperation often works wonders, no impartial observer of the resistance offered by the French as a nation to the Germans can hope much from the stimulating effect of fresh misfortunes. Both Times and Tribune ask if Metz with only a quarter of a million to feed, could hold out only two months, what chance is there for Paris? The Tribune thinks, unless an armistice be speedily concluded, France must be desolated as she never was before. This fresh defeat ought to convince the French of ' the hopelessness of the struggle, yet experience has shewn that great reverses enrage, but do not inform the French people. The Herald con siders the capitulation deals a blow more disastrous than Sedan at the military power of France. There seems no further hope of a successful resistance. This ono Prussian success would overthrow and neu tralise a thousand of the desultory and detached vic tories that seem to content the French. Poor France, says the Herald, has been defeated, not from want of zeal or courage, of gallantry in her soldiers or self sacrifice in her citizens, but through the deplorable lack of organisation, left her as an imperial legacy. " She can make peace without shame. Let her make it." BALLOONING. One advantageous result of tho present warfare on the Continent is assuredly the experience we are gaining as to the utility of balloons. Never before has there been undertaken a thorough systematic teat of their capabilities, and never before have the difficulties of steering such' aerial machines been so great. Up to the present time but little scientific observation as to the manner in which different journeys have been performed has been, so far as we can tell, aimed at, but there is very little doubt that at the end of the war satisfactory evidence will be forthcoming on the entire question of balloon voyaging. The balloonists do not seem to have appre ciated a lesson from one Mr. Green, whose experiments with a balloon created much excitement in England in 1828. This gentleman ascended into the air on h rseback, the horse being attached to the .balloon, and on each occasion that he alighted he posted to the nearest town, with the balloon fastened down upon the back of his faithful quadruped. M.P.'s IN SCOTLAND. Mr. E. S. Gordon, M.P., one of• the speakers at the inauguration of the new University buildings at Glasgow, made use of a significant expression with respect to the collateral duties of the party in power over the kingdom. He thought gratitude was due to the Government for the contributions they had devoted towards the funds of the Institution. It was the undoubted duty of every Government to observe and practise the most strict economy in the management of the revenue of the country, still he considered that it was also expedient to keep in view that we had objects intimately connected with the interests of the country, and which it would be wrong on the part of the Ministry not to recognise as forming just claims upon our funds. The Lord Advocate of Scotland, who followed the member for the University, expressed an opinion that English spirit was not degenerating as had been alleged. We were simply wiser than of old, and no longer sought to rest our influence upon martial achievements, but upon the perfection of our political freedom and the pursuit of those objects which bind nations together With the bonds of amity. It is not improbable after those sentiments that Mr. Gladstone will be induced to give his final consent for an eclipse expedition. PROFF_SSOE HUXLEY AND SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION. Professor Huxley distributed the prizes to the students at the Islington School of Science and Art, and improved the occasion by giving the assembly some practical hints. He expressed a hope that in electing men to fill the office of members of School Boards care would be taken not to elect candidates because they belonged to this or that sect. The rate payers should return men who really know what education is and what the educational requirements of the people are. Nothing, ho said, could be more lamentable than to see the education of the metropolis, for instance, handed over to a great educational Parliament as it were, the members of which might waste their time in mere struggles for domination between different sects and denominations, forgetting that the people were perishing for lack of knowledge. The Professor hoped the time would come when the Government would encourage something more than the teaching of science in addition to the three R's. If the physical power of the people were to be turned to proper account, a knowledge of physical exercises and how to take care of their bodies was indispen sible. LYNCH LAW IN ISLINGTON. The inhabitants of a certain portion of Islington have latterly fallen a prey to rowdyism. The police were utterly unable to protect them. They resolved therefore, to protect themselves, and on Sunday a band of twenty just citizens sallied out, belaboured the roughs with canes, and put them to flight. Here is a pretty prospect. " A.• similar patrol is to be made on Sunday evening next." Very likely ; but it is far from probable that the patrol will end in the same way. The roughs will be on the look out next time, and a small civil war may be expected. The result of our fine police system is that we aro returning to a state of nature. The progress of people in London streets promises to resemble the march of a valuable caravan in the African desert. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. The Alabama question is once more beginning to occupy attention in America, and the claimants against the English Government are becoming impatient for a settlement. Ono of the chief claimants is the Great Western Insurance Company of New York. Mr. Parker, the president of that corpo ration, has written a lung lotter on the subject. The amount claimed is 13,000,000d015., and it is com plained that that sum representing so much capital is kept in a state of inactivity. As every dollar of capital, so the Americans argue, is equal to four in the exchanges of trade, there are 52,000,000 dollars of commercial transactions, with the attendant activity of labour and employment, annually sup pressed through the detention of the capital belonging to the claimants. Mr. Parker thinks that the American Government has committed a great legal and diplomatic error in its attempts at negotiations. The Alabama claims are exclusively the property of individuals. The interest of the Government, says Mr. Parker, is entirely of a fidu ciary character, with all the responsibilities and /dab" - lities on the part of the Government of such a trust. Having accepted this trust, the Governmen t accepts the liability also, and there is no escape from it, except through the outlawry prim ciple that the Government cannot be sued' In a matter of trust the Government is not above the law nor above an individual, and has, therefore, rendered itself Morally liable for the whole of the Alabama claims. Mr. Parker accuses the Govern' ment of holding the claims in abeyance for the purpose of accomplishing objects of personal and political ambition and popularity, one object beiug the acquisition of Canada. Mr. Parker, like most of his countrymen, naïvely assumes that the claims can be substantiated. It is open to him to try pro' ceedings in the English courts if he is not satisfied with the doings of the Government. THE TIEN-TSIN MASSACRE. A private letter from Shanghae shows how wide spread is the apprehension of further atrocities in China. The murders at Tien-tsin are universally regarded amongst Europeans throughout the empire as but the prelude to a series of slaughters equally appalling. The English residents loudly condemn the indifferentism of the British Government to the crisis, and it is said that unless the Ministry take energetic measures with the view of preventing, as tar as human foresight cant the repetition of such horrors as attended the butchery at Tien-tsin, the Europeans will " tan out." The Chinese Government is buying powder and arms in every direction, and Tseng-kwo-fan vale at the time of the letter referred to massing his arn2Y, supposed to be 70,000 strong, between Pekin arld Tien-tsin. The Tien-tsin community, the letter states, are almost determined to migrate to Shanghae. for the winter. THE ANGLO-INDIAN CAPITAL. Some excitement has been created among the Indian journals by the announcement that Lord Mayo intends to make Simla the seat of Government during the summer months. The Pioneer thinks that the change might have been made earlier with great advantage, as Simla possesses facilities which surpass those of any other hill station. On the other hand, the Indian Daily News disapproves of the scheme, and declares that a serious injustice is done to the taxpayer by the expenses of these trips to the hills. One of the arguments advanced is that things may be done noiselessly in the q uiet locality which in the bustle of the busy world would not fail to excite criticism. Sir John Lawrehce might have. been excused on the score of ill-health, but Viceroy who can gallop eighty miles a day in the hot sun is said to have no excuse. While objecting to the continual emigration to Simla, the Times of India says that Calcutta must not persist in imagining a vain thing, or suppose that it can keep the 44 Execu tive Government for ever within the limits of the ditch." The experience of years shews that the atmosphere of Calcutta is not favourable for the work of administration, and in many respects Cal' cutta is as isolated from the rest of India as Simla le.

Thiers has written to the Pope, informing him that he has advo cated his cause at all the Courts visited on his late diplo matic journey. All the Courts were ready to consider his case at the coming Congress, and would grant him A position worthy of the Vicegerent cf Christ. A. FRENCH DIPLOMATIST ON THE EASTERN QUESTION. The late ambassador of France at Constantinople, M• de Laguerroniere, has published a letter to " an old colleague " on the present aspects of the Eastern question. It is only fair to Russia, he says, to acknowledge that she has done nothing to bring aboutlthe present war. Since Sebastopol she has been occupied in restoring her forces, not in avenging her defeats ; and in 1859 and 1866, when two great wars were tearing asunder the treaties of 1815 she remained impassive. But now " she is ready. She did not expect the war of 1870 ; above all. she did not foresee our reverses, and I may add in au sincerity, that she did not desire them ; but to admit that she will not take advantage of them is to suppose her capable of forgetting all her traditions, and sacrificing her moat essential interests." As to the report that a secret treaty existed between Russia and Prussia, M. de Lagar ronidre declares there is not a word of truth in it, and that he is certain M. Thiers is of the same opinion. 11° thinks that the demands of Prussia for French territory lead as a natural consequence to Russia making similes demands in the East. It is not by a military intervention however, that Russia hopes to realize her designs. " Such an intervention would be met by a very resolute resistance on the part of Turkey, whose army, and especially whose navy, has made great progress under the impute of the very enlightened Sovereign who governs her. It would not suit the plans of Prince Gortchakoff to enlarge the theatre of the present war, and provoke against Russia, while Prussia is still engaged in her struggle with France, the union of England and Austria. His policy is too skilful, bis ambition too patient, for such a hazardous undertaking. Russia is in no hurry to revive the Eastern question . . . but, in proportion ne the Prussian invasion shall extend over the French soil, Russia's influence will increase in the Bosphorus ; and, on the day that the King of Prussia, after recrossing the Rhine, shall stop at Aix-la Chapelle to take to Berlin the sceptre of the Holy Empire from the tomb of Charle magne—on that day Russia will be virtually at Constan• tinople." This result, M. de Lagu6rronibre thinks, must fol low as a logical consequence of the formation of a German empire and the humiliation of France ; for Germany, in possession of Kiel, would shut up the Russian fleet in the Gulf of Finland. and Russia must therefore seek another opening for her navy in the Black Sea and the Mediter• ranean, which, the resistance of France being paralysed, she will easily be able to obtain. 3/ de Lagu6rronibre adds that the Turkish Government is perfectly well aware of this► and that immediately after the publication of M. Jules Favre's circular, Ali Pasha addressed " a noble and pressing appeal to all the Cabinets " in behalf of France. " When these negotiations," he says, be' come matter of history, this document will become known, and people will be astonished at its net having been unanimously adhered to by the neutral Powers. If England, who had her reasons, perhaps, for not taking the initiative, had energetically supported the Turkish proposals, she would have carried with her the co• operation of all the other neutrals, and this imposing corn' bination would at that moment have made peace inevit able." IIIE FENIAN PaiSoNiuts.—A petition, with mall thousand signatures, has been presented to the Prime Minister, praying for the pardon and release of the Fenian prisoners.
