CHRISTMAS BELLS. (Written in time of War.) BY W. H. LONGFELLOW. I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play ; And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. And thought how as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along The unbroken song, Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. Till ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day ; A voice, a chime, A chaunt sublime, Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. Then from each black accursed mouth, The cannon thundered in the South ; And with the sound The carols drowned, Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. It was as if an earthquake rent The hearthstones of a continent ; And made forlorn The households born, Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. And in despair I bowed my head ; " There is no peace on earth," I said. For hate is strong, And mocks the song, Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. Then pealed the bells more loud and deep, " God is not dead, nor doth He sleep. The Wrong shall fail, The Right prevail, With peace on earth, goodwill to men." CONUNDRUMS FOR CHRISTMAS. When is water like fat ?—When its dripping. When is a cat like a teapot ?—When you're teasin' in it (tea's in it). Why is a gaoler like a player on the piano ?—Because he fingers the keys. Why is the inside of everything unintelligible ? —Because we can't make it out. What does a grocer do with all his things before he sells them ?—Gives them a weigh. OLD-FASHIONED FAIRY TALES. THE HILLMAN AND THE HOUSEWIFE. The good people cannot abide meanness. They like to be liberally dealt with when they beg or borrow of the human race ; and, on the hand, to those who come to them in need, they are invariably generous. Now there once lived a certain housewife, who had a sharp eye to her own interests in temporal matters, and gave alms of what she had no use for, for the good of her soul. One day a Hillman knocked at her door. " Can you lend 113 a saucepan, good mother?" said he. " There's a wedding in the hill, and all the pots are in use." Si" Is he to have one ?" asked the servant lass who had opened the door. _ _ _ ... Ay, to be sure," answered the housewife. "One must be neighbourly." But when the maid was taking a saucepan from the shelf, she pinched her arm, and whispered sharply, " Not that, you slut ! Get the old one out of the cupboard. It leaks, and the Hillmen are so neat, and such nimble workers, they are sure to mend it before they send it home. So one obliges the good people, and saves sixpence in tinkering. But you'll never learn to be notable whilst your 'head is on your shoulders." Thus reproached, the maid fetched the saucepan, which had been laid by till the tinker's next visit. and gave it to the dwarf, who thanked her, and went away. In due time the saucepan was returned, and, as the housewife had foreseen, it was neatly mended, and ready for use. _ _ At supper-time, the maid filled the pan with milk, and set it on the fire for the children's supper. But in a few minutes the milk was so burnt and smoked, that no one could touch it, and even the pigs refused the wash with which it was mixed. •• Ah, good-for-nothing hussy !" cried the housewife, as she refilled the pan herself ; " you would ruin the richest with,your carelessness. "There's a whole quart of good milk wasted at once." "And that's twopence !" cried a voice which seemed to come from the chimney, in a nasal, whiney tone, like some nattering, discontented old body going over her grievances. The housewife had not left the saucepan for two minutes when the milk boiled over, and it was all burnt and smoked as before. "The pan must be dirty," muttered the good woman, in great vexation ; " and there are two full quarts of milk as good as thrown to the dogs." " And that's four-pence I" added the voice in the chimney. After a thorough cleaning, the saucepan was once more filled and set on the fire, but with no better success. The milk was hopelessly spoilt, and the housewife shed tears of vexation at the waste, crying, " Never did such a thing befall me since I kept house ! Three quarts of new milk burnt for one meal !" " And that's sixpence/' cried the voice from the chimney. " You didn't save the tinkering after all, mother?" With which the Hillman himself came tumbling down the chimney, and went off laughing, through the door. • But thenceforward the saucepan was as good as any other. THE FIRST TELEGRAPHIC INSTRUMENT.I An interesting relic of the early days of telegraphy has been discovered at Morristown, New Jersey. It is the first instrument by which messages were received and sent by the aid of the electric current. When Professor Morse was experimenting on the power and capability of electricity as adapted to the transmission of words, he spent a large portion of this time at Morristown, where he was assisted by Alfred Vail, Esq., a practical ma chinest and inventor. At the Speedwell Iron Works of that town, then owned by the father of Mr. Vail, the experiments on the wires and on the construction of suit able instruments took place. On the completion of the experiments and the removal of Mr. Morse to Washing. ton to bring his invention before Congress, Mr. Vail accompanied him, and, receiving the appointment of Assistant-Superintendent of Telegraphs, was stationed at Baltimore, at that, end of the experimental line. The instrument now at Morristown was one of two taken from Morristown by Morse and Vail—Morse using one at Washington, and Vail the other at Baltimore. The first message sent was the now well-known " What has God wrought," which Morse transmitted to Vail ; but the first public message was the news of the nomination of Polk to the Presidency by the Baltimore Convention of 1844, sent by Vail to Morse. These instruments were in constant use for six years, when Mt. Vail, returning to Morristown, brought his with him, and where it has still remained in. the possession of his family: Mr. Vail dying soon after, his instrument was specially left by a clause in his will to his eldest son as an heirloom, while parts of instruments made during the experimental trials were left to Professor Morse, with a request that he would give them at some future day to the New Jersey Historical Society. The old instrument works as well as when first made, and lately a message was sent to New York, and a reply received at Morristown. An excellent photograph of the instrument was also taken, and with this a visit was made to Professor Morse in New York. The Professor was delighted to see the re presentation of the first instrumentf having destroyed, as he said, the fellow instrument which he had used in 1844. He readily recognised it, and wrote a certificate across the picture as to its being a true photograph of the first instrument ever used to transmit public messages. He also expressed a wish that the photographs might be generally distributed, that it might be seen how little in essential points it differed from those now in use. With the exception of size and clumsiness, the instruments are almost exactly similar. The dimensions of the instru ment are sixteen inches in length, seven inches in height, six inches wide, with two magnets of three-inch diameter. The paper used was 2i inches in width, three pens being proposed to be used. The weight of the instrument is 201 b. A. Yankee who had just come from Florenc-, being asked what he had seen and admired, and whether he was not in rapture with the Venus de Medici, replied, " Well, to tell the truth, I don't care about those stone gals." _ _ An eastern editor writes thus about a display of the Aurora Borealis : " Last evening, as soon as Tithonus had retired for the night, and was enjoying his first snooze, his sponse, the rosy-fingered Aurora, daughter of the morning, snatched the saffron-covered coverlet from his bed, and wrapping it about her, danced a jig in the northern sky."

As we have already stated by telegraph, Lord Derby distributed the prizes at the Liverpool College on Friday evening. The following is the full report of the noble Earl's speech : The number of its pupils is a very inadequate test of the work done by a place of public in struction. It does sometimes happen in England that educational establishments obtain and keep a reputa tion to which they would find it difficult to make good their title. We know that there have been times when at the great public schools very little was taught or learnt that could possibly be of use to any human being ; yet, from old associations on the part of parents, or from reputation acquired in more prosperous dais, or from the vague and silly superstition, perhaps not wholly dead, that the school in which a boy was taught least was the most likely to make him a gen tleman —or, it may be, from sheer perplexity on the part of parents as to what else could be done with boys who must be sent somewhere,—these schools kept up their numerical strength, on the whole, pretty steadily. I should only be wasting words if I were to endeavour to point out the usefulness—l will go further, and say the indispensable character—of an institution such as ours is to a community like that of Liverpool. Everyb,)dy is exerting himself—at least so far as talking about it goes— to educate the children of the poorest class. You cannot open a newspaper without seeing in it some paragraph about the election of a school board, and even those—l suspect they are pretty numerous—who cared exceedingly little about the matter when they or their friends had it all their own way, are stimulated into activity by the natural dislike of rival influences, and in some cases also by the unpleasant prospect of rates. Well, but what is to come of all this ? We are in theory to have a well-instructed working class. I say in theory, because, assuming everything to be done that is possible, I apprehend that in the great majority of cases the early age at which school teaching must cease in that class will confine within exceedingly narrow limits the results obtained. But there will be many exceptions ; and, after all deductions made, we must expect that there will be a large development of in telligence among that section of society which attends village or rate-paid schools. That is, any way, what we all profess to hope for and to anticipate. Well, it won't do for the employers to be left behind by the employed. It won't do for the wage-receivers to be able to say of those who pay them, " They have got the brass, but it is we who have got the brains." The class that is to hold its own in actual English life must be an educated class, and by that word I don't mean that it is indispensable that they should have acquired this or that special branch of knowledge—be it Greek, or Latin, or modern lan guages, or natural science,—but it is indispensable that they should have got the culture, the training, which makes it easy to pick up whatever knowledge may be necessary ; which makes mental exertion, within reason able limits, a pleasure rather than a task ; and which enables a man to grasp more clearly the details even of a subject which may be entirely new to him, than his neighbour, not similarly trained, will be able to do with one with which he has long been familiar. I am not about to enter on that old controversy, which has been going on ever since I can remember, and will go on probably after most of us are in our graves, as to the comparative value of a classical or scientific education There is as much to be said in favour of any kind of human culture assuming that it is one in which cer tainty is attainable (for the mere guessing at and specu lating about insoluble problems is a hopeless waste of intellect and industry)—that at least I wish to blame no man, be he mathematician, chemist, naturalist, or clas sical student, who exalts his own favourite pursuits above all the rest. But we live under hard and inexorable con ditions. The vast majority of men, in all r.ges and countries, must work before they can eat. Even those who are not under that necessity are, in Eng- land, generally impelled by example, by custom perhaps by a sense of what is fittest for them, t( adopt what is called an active pursuit of some sort. Life-long study is possible only to exceedingly few. The concurrence of external and internal conditions which makes it possible is very rarely found ; and unless such study is to lead to some useful result to the rest of the world, I don't know that we ought to desire that those who follow it should be more numerous than they are; for if there is on 3 thing more certain than another it is this—that every member of a community is bound to something for that community in return for what he gets from it : and neither intellectual cultivation nor the possession of material wealth, nor any other plea whatever, except that of physical or mental incapacity, can excuse any of us from that plain and personal duty. Well, but if active life be the duty of most men, if it has to be entered upon at an early age, as is generally the case, and if, in these days of competion, it absorbs the whole energies of body and brain, as is very often the case, I fear it follows that systematic devotion to any kind of study is seldom possible in later life. There have been, and there are, very eminent exceptions ; we may find some among public men either now or lately living ; but they undoubtedly are the exception rather than the rule. It is not time that is wanting ; you may take it as certain that a man will always find time for what really interests him. But energy is in each of us a limited quantity, and we cannot blame or wonder at the wish to rest altogether after a good day's work. Yet, knowing all this, and feeling it myself, I do say to every young man whom I am now addressing, " Whatever your pur suit may be, however active, however absorbing, don't, unless you are willing to forfeit one of the most lasting of human enjoyments don't, if you can possibly help it, allow yourself to lose your taste for reading."— I say nothing of books as a mere substitute for, and preventive of, indulgence in low pleasure ; you, I hope, are above wanting that sort of recommendation. But it is a bad thing to have the brain always filled with one's own narrow personal concerns, or, what is one degree worse, with the small personal concerns of one's neighbours. It is a great gain, putting it in the lowest point of view, to be able to pass at pleasure out of the eternal round of petty duties and trivial annoyances, to observe, with however unpractised an eye, the marvellous arrangements of nature, or to live in the lives and follow the thoughts that have interested and instructed suc cessive generations of mankind. And though it may be, in a community like this, considered by some to be a heterodox view, I will say that it often appears to me in the present day that we are a little too apt in all classes to look upon ourselves as mere machines for what is called "getting on," and to forget that there are in every human being many faculties which car.not be employed, and many wants which cannot be satisfied by that occu pation. It is difficult to speak on such matters without seeming to imply more or less than one means. I have not a word to utter against strenuous devotion to business while you are at it; on the contrary, that is the secret of success, and, what is worth more than success—of self approval. But one of the wisest. and most thoroughly cultivated men whom I ever knew retired before the age of 50 from a profession in which he was snaking an enor mous income, because, he said, he had got as much as he or anybody else belonging to him could want, and he did not see why he should sacrifice the rest of his life to money getting. Some people thought him very foolish ; I did not. And I believe that the gentleman of whom I speak never once repented his decision. But there is this to be remembered—that the freedom and leisure which to a scholar and a philosopher were only a means of transition from uncongenial to con genial pursuits, would to an unlettered man similarly circumstanced have brought nothing but weariness and disgust. One word more, and I have done. I hope that those who have been successful in their work here will equally recollect that after-life generally modifies, and often reverses, the decisions which we pass at school or college upon one another's capacities and chances. Those who have done best have got a good start in life, and nobody will grudge it them; but they have got no more. Those who have failed are starting fresh in a new field. Let there be no fal§p security on the one hand—no premature despondency on the other. Such advice is often given away freely on these occasions, and some people are apt to say it is worth exactly as much as it costs. lam not going into that line of business, but to young men eager and energetic as many of you are, making their start in the world, I will offer one hint. Let them recollect that the race in which they are en gaging is one which will last all their working days, and in which endurance is more important than speed. They ' know already that intemperance is one form of suicide— let them remember that all neglect of physical laws is open to the same reproach, and that there may be intem perance in work as well as in meaner indulgencies. You cannot have mental efficiency without health ; you can not maintain health in an exciting and exhausting em ployment, such as most mental occupations are when eagerly followed, without some care to preserve it. What I had to tell you about keeping up literary tastes has been said already. They are a great pleasure, a whole some and a lasting one. Keep them up if you can, and as long as you can. But while you do that remember also that there is one thing as compared with which not only material wealth and luxury, but all art, all lite rature, all science even, are relatively unimportant—and in regard to which the poorest labourer may compete with any of you on equal terms—l mean a steady, un tiring performance by each individual of his public and private duty.- , " Honour and fame from no condition rise— Act well your part; there all the honour lies." Tin, SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 26, iB7O. MR. BRIGHT AND THE FENIAN PRISONERS. Referring to the coincidence between Mr. Bright's re- tirement and the release of the Fenian prisoners, the Manckester Examiner reminds its readers of a speech Mr. 7 Bright made at the O'Donoghue banquet in Manchester in 1867. On that occasion Mr. Bright said :—"The measures connected with the Church and with the land • once passed through Parliament, once haVing received the royal assent, every Irishman in the low liest cabin would feel a new hope and a new life. Spring and summer, which are soon to some, would not more revive the herbage on her fields than these grand measures of justice would restore harmony and loyalty in Ireland. I believe, after years of con sideration, and much reading and much study of - the question, that we might rely on the sovereign remedy of justice to heal the wounds and remove the discontent of Ireland. .When those measures were passed—but proba bly it is but a dream ; but if I were a Minist,r in this country, having influence over this country—if I were in a position so responsible and so powerful—an evtrava gant figure of speech doubtless—but which, for the sake of my ar g ument, I may be permitted to use—if these measures were once passed —were once the law of the empire--then I would throw open the prison doors, and let every political prisoner free, and I would trust the rights of the Crown of this kingdom with an unfaltering faith to that sense of loyalty which would be begotten by the magnanimous justice of the Imperial Parliament." The Examiner adds :--`, Mr. Bright's "dream" has become a fact. He has been clothed with the power and responsibility of a Cabinet Minister ; he has aided in achieving the reforms thus eloquently prefigured, and before retiring from his office ho has fulfilled his pledge; the prison doors are thrown open, and the prisoners are free. He has done his part towards realising his anticipations ; we believe that Ire land will do the rest." LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND THE STAGE. The Athenceum says :—We are glad to learn that a volume of memorials of the late Mr. Charles Boner, author of " Chamois Hunting in the Mountains of Ba varia, Transylvania, &c." is in the press, and will pro bably be published in January. Amongst other interest ing matters, it will contain a series of letters written to Mr. Boner by Miss Mitford, extending over several years, and marked by many charac teristic sayings about friends and contemporaries.— Among the forthcoming Christmas books will be one by Mr. Whymper, on the Alps, copiously illustrated by Mr. Mahoney and other artists. In it Mr. Whymper will, for the first time, give a complete account of that first ascent of the Matterhorn, which was attended by such fatal consequences.— The " Life of Richard Trevithick, " the engineer, by Mr. Francis Trevithick, is understood to be ready for the press.— We learn from the New York Nation that the quarterly Record of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society is to be enlarged, and the subscription price wil be raised to two dollars per annum.—Of nearly 1,3)0 students who were attending the University of Munich last summer, little over 600 are now pursuing their studies there—a proof of the effects of the war in Germany. -- The Exhibition for Art and Industry, at Athens, has been opened. Professor Bussakis, the new rector of the University, has inaugurated his term of office by a lecture "On the Progress of Natural Science in Greece."—We are glad to hear that there is every reason to hope that Sir R. I. Murchison will soon be completely restored to health. Sir Roderick expects to be able, within a very few days, to enter once more into communication with the officials of the Royal Geographical Society.— Mr. Woolner has nearly completed a statuette, companion to " Elaine," which we described some time ago, and which has been since exhibited. The new work repre sents the Laureate's Queen Guinevere, by a stately figure, slight but finely formed, mall ample contours, standing at her full height, and drawing back, by a very effective action, part of her robe, so that her next move ment may be free. A more important work is the large alto-relief in marble of Virgilia, " the gra cious Silence," wife of " Coriolanus, seated, sorrowfully musing, on a bench, after her husband's departure.— Some inquiries have been made about M. Gustave Dord's whereabouts. and fears entertained that he had shared the fate of M. Otto Weber and others, who have d'ed for their country. Many friends and admirers of M. Dort will be glad to learn that he is reported to be in Paris and unharmed. A French journal, describing one of the sub ordinate incidents of the late sortie from the capital, stated that the artist in question was seen among the crowd, watching the return of the wounded defenders of the city. We understand that in January the first number of a new Art Quarterly will make its appearance under the editor ship of the Rev. S. Baring-Gould. It will bear the title of the Sacristy, and will contain essays and criticisms upon church architecture, and ezclesiastical art generally ; the subject being treated not only ecclesiologically, but also practically in regard to modern usage. Since the Ecclesiolo gist ceased to be published, there has been no periodical in England upon this subject.—The Dublin Evening Mail an nounces the discovery of what is said to be the first Runic inscription ever found in Ireland. The discovery was made at the opening of a tumulus on the estate of Lord Rathdonnel, at Gernon's Town, County Louth. Among the many objects which were brought to light was a bronze sword which bore the inscription in Runic characters, interpreted as meaning " Tomri of Solshof owns this sword." Readers of Irish history will remember that Tomri, or Tomar, was the name also of the owner of that "collar of gold " which Moore says Malachi " won from the proud invader." The sword has been sent to Copen hagen for further examination of the Runic characters. — A brief memoir of Beethoven, by Elliott Grame, has ap peared at a right moment, and, although a compilation from the previous works of Schindler, Ries, Wegelar, Marx, and Thayer, will be useful for reference to those who wish to have a complete classification of Beethoven's works.—Dr. Westland Marston and Mr. W. G. Wills, the author of " The Man o' Airlie," are engaged upon a romantic drama, which is now almost completed. — Negotiations are in active progress which afford reason able expectation that the Alexandra Palace will be opened in the course of next year for musical performances. When this undertaking begins, there will be three great buildings available for music, namely, the Royal Albert Hall in the west, the Alexandra, in the north, and the Crystal Palace, in the south, a competition by which amateurs will gain, whatever may be the result for the shareholders. It is stated that Mr. Smiles, author of " Lives of the Engineers," and other well-known works, is about to undertake the biography of the late Mr. Brassey. The Church Herald has received a report that the health of the Archbishop of Canterbury is not so good as it was when his Grace left England. MajorPalliser, C. 8., has been elected associate member of Council of the Institute of Civil Engineers, vice Colonel Clarke, C. 8., retired. The Captain Committee will assemble at the Admiralty, Whitehall, on or about the 4th of January. A military contemporary learns that the Army Esti mates will not be laid before Parliament in any manner out of the ordinary routine, and that they will not be. of any extraordinary character. A movement is being made to tarn the war refugees to account by taking measures for encouraging the settlement of all such as can introduce new manu facturing processes, so as to realise some of the results of the former Walloon and French immigrations. . NEW LIGUT FOR PHOTOGRAPHY.—Enteiprishiq Photographer : "I will do my best for you, ladies ; but I should have been able to do you more justice had you come at the tim a appointed." (Withdraws to prepare).— Young Lady : " What a fuss he makes about the light ! I don't believe it makes a bit of difference."—Old Lady : "No ; 't'aint as if he were an old man. He is quite young, and his eyes are good." Several meetings have been held in London during the week, at which strong resolutions and memorials to Mr. Gladstone were adopted on the subject of Rome. The conduct of Victor Emmanuel was denounced, and Mr. Gladstone's letter was complained of as not holding forth any hope that the British Government intended to inter fere. The Catholics were called upon to refuse to vote for . any Par iatnentary candidate opposed to the restoration of the Pope. rniE PRUSSIANS IN HAM.—The Glaneur of St. Quentin says that the Prussians retqok Ham with little difficulty. For some days previously there had been no troops in the town, but on Saturday they suddenly re turned, some of them armed with pickaxes, spades, and hatchets, It was a market day, and a regular panic pre vailed among the sellers, who abandoned their goods and fled precipitately. Patrols went over the town, and kept guard while the main body refreshed themselves. In the evening the whole troop went off. The object of the Prussian visit to Ham was supposed to be to protect the requisitions that were being made in their name in the neighbouring Communes. The latest novelty in job printing has just been executed by a printer in tne City, who had an order from a baker to print a number of bill-heads on three different coloured papers, viz., red, green, and white. The object of this, we have been informed, was to avoid giving mes sages or instructions to the man who delivered the bread, flour, &c., to the customeos. To prevent mistakes, when the bill is made out upon a red paper, it denotes "Danger," and he was not to leave the goods without the cash; if a green, it denoted " Caution," as the customer was doul,t ful, and the man was to get the money if he could, but to intimate that no further credit could be given; if on a white, it was safe to leave any quantity.

' The Ue Wel Service Gazette says : —We learn that some gunboats for coast defence are to be immediately laid down at Hasler yard.—Captain A. R. M. Wood, Cold stream Guards, has been appointed aide-do-camp to Major- General Newton, commanding at Dublin. The Army and 14avy Gazette says the promotion of Colonel Claremont to the rank of Major-Ge neral has, for several reasons, given general satisfac tion. It may be remembered that Colonel Clare mont, who is now en route to England from Versailles, passed out of Paris with the last batch of English, but voluntarily returned, and remained in the city for several weeks in attendance on Captain Hare, naval attach 6, who was too seriously ill to be moved. Captain Horn, is ve'y unwell. He only lately left Paris, and with the sanction of the English Government, lie has located himself in the city now occupied by the German headquarters.—We are pleased to hear on all sides most favourable accounts of ) the working of the new system of garrison instruction, • inaugurated in July last. The value of the system to the army of the future can scarcely be over-rated ; and it is gratifying to think that it has been introduced under such favourable auspices, and promises to prove so beneficial to the service at large.— A. proposal is now under consideration of the proper authorities that all candidates for the naval medical pro fession shall be allowed to proceed to Netley, there to take advantage of the instruction provided by the admirable school which is to be found at that institution. It is in tended that the gentlemen nominated for the military, naval, and Indian medical services shall enjoy equal privi leges during their term of residence. Space will not per mit us this week to print s letter which Vice-Admiral Sir Spencer R ,binson addressed to Mr. Childers in reply to the minute, which has already appeared. The Broad Arrow says :—" Nothing is finally decided respecting the pension of Mrs. Cowper Coles.—We stated some time since, when Colonel Layard resigned the ap pointment held by him in the establishment of the Nawab Nazim of Bengal, that no successor would be appointed. It is true that his Highness was desirous to have the ser vices of Lieutenant-Colonel Bigge, formerly of the 70th Foot, in a similar capacity, but the India Office authori ties will not hear of such an arrangement ; consequently our former statement is confirmed.—ln consequence of the Christmas holidays, the Military Secretary will not hold a lev4e until after the 27th inst.— The estimate taken out for the cost of the iron ballast of the Vanguard is about £1,500. We believe all this class of vessels will also be rigged with fore and aft sails, as, under the mosttSfavourable circumstances, the Vanguard in her trial did not exceed six knots with all possible sail, and seldom made above four knots, either under reduced or full sail. This at once proves the absurdity of rigging ships of her class with such heavy masts, spars, and sails to such little purpose, and yet involving such great expense. In all probability the Vanguard, after undergoing alterations, will again proceed on a trial cruise, in company with the Iron Duke.—Every officer's vacancy in all the branches of the Naval Service was filled up on the 16th instant. — With reference to the announcement recently made by us that a schema was on foot for reducing the military head quarter Staff in Ireland, we may state generally the pro bability that the offices of Assistant Military Secretary, Deputy-Adjutant-General, and Deputy Quartermaster- General at Dublin, as at present constituted, will be abolished, and a Chief of the Staff appointed with the title of Deputy Adjutant-General. The clerical arrangement of the amalgandted offices will, it is said, consist of one chief clerk and assistant to the Chief of the Staff at £6OO a year ; four first-class clerks at £4OO a year, and six second-cless clerks at £2OO a year.—The 68th Regiment, which arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday in her Majesty's ship Croco dile, have all of them the Enfield percussion rifle, and as regiments coming from India bring no ammunition with them, it would be thought that on board the troopships ' there would be suitable ammunition for the rifles carried by the regiments, but instead of this the troopships only carry Snider ammunition. In precarious times like the present, the Naval or War Office authorities should at tend to these details, as the destination of regiments at any time is liable to be changed, and if orderedto disembark at any foreign wort without suitable ammunit;on the state I of things would nut be creditable to any department. News from the Mediterranean brings a sad account of the position of her Majesty's ship Psyche, and very little hopes are entertained of saving her, but probably all her stores will be safely removed from her. A Departmental Committee is now sitting at the Admiralty, consisting of Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke, R.E., C. 8., Captain G. 0. Willes, R.N., C. 8., Lieutenant - Colonel Williams, R.M.L.1., Deputy Adjutant-General, with Mr. Alfred Whitehouse, R.N., as secretary, to inquire into the best mode of raising a continuous supply of seamen for the Royal Navy. THE LOSS OF THE U.S. VESSEL ONEIDA. The Philadelphia Ledger says, in accordance with a re solution passed at the last session of Congress, the re pective *Hies of the officers and of the members of the crew of tie United States corvette Oneida have been paid a full year's pay and allowances, in addition to the amount due at the time of the disaster. The only per sona who' have not received the compensation provided by Cotig,resslare a few families residing in Europe, and the representatives of six Japanese servants, who sank with the Oneida after her collision with the steamer Bombay. THE INDIAN COURT MARTIAL. The court-martial on Ensign Gilbert, of the 3rd Bat talion 60th Rifles, has, no doubt ere this, drawn its slow length along, and established its right to rank among Ne military causes celeb , es. No provocation on the part of Lieutenant-Colonel Kennedy could have justi- Red Mr. Gilbert in committing the gross act of insubordination for which he was put on his trial although his judges seemed disposed to take as favouraille a view of the case as possible. Notwitstanding the ex tenuating circumstances, there is little doubt that they have by this time pronounced an unfavourable verdict. The sympathy of the Madras authorities, in favour of this young officer, has been expressed in a marked manner. • Colonel Roe, the present Adjutant-General of the Madras Army, who formerly commanded his battalion, visited him every evening during his trial, feeling naturally interested in its senior ensign. Report srlys that however damaging the result of this court-martial may be to the prospects of Ensign Gilbert,. the revelations there made can hardly prove of benefit to Colonel Ken nedy. This is much to be regretted, as Colonel Kennedy has seen good service, and has well earned the position which he occupies in commanding a battalion. — Broad Arrow. A.FFAIRS AT PESHAWUR. We are so intent on the gallaat defence of our neigh bours, and so full of sympathy for the sufferings they have been pleased to inflict on each other, that we have hardly time or inclination to devote much attention to the fate of our soldiers, some of whom are, nevertheless, dying like heroes at the call of duty— their mortal foe being, of course, the stupidity of the authorities, who, although constantly engaged in " consideration," are deaf, as is their wont, to all con siderations of common sense and mercy. A correspondent of the Indian Public Opinion gives the following descrip tion of the condition of affairs at Peshawur, which he terms the " Valley of the Shadow of Death All is sickness and misery (he says) in the Peshawur vale. Every other man one meets, whether native or European, she :vs unmistakable signs of having fever about him, and those who consider themselves well and strong have a very sallow and haggard appearance. The troops are suffering fearfully. The hospitals are full, and the doctors, who themselves suffer in common with their patients, are at work day and night. . . . I can hardly say whether we or the natives are suffering most. Yesterday I heard an officer say, " I have not seen one of my servants the last 2 days; they are all sick." The doctors are most indefa tigable in their work, but it is a sore tax upon them all, this overwork, and they are too valuable to lose. One of the British regiments here shewed but a sorry appearance on parade last Saturday for the general's inspection, and he must have felt grieved to find that actually 1053 than half the strength of so fine a regiment were on the duty told. Out of 892 there were but 429 duty men. There were 180 men in and attending hospital, and the rest (all weakly men) away at a small sanatorium called " Cherat," near Nowshera. This regiment has suffered greatly all through the season, and it is painful to contemplate what it is likely to suffer if it remains in the valley next hot season. 'WOuld it not be far wiser policy to limit the service of each regiment in the Peshawur Valley to one year ? After being thoroughly prostrated as the men now are, they have not the stamina lert in them to combat a second season. Surely the health of a whole regiment is of more con sequence than the cost of moving it to a more healthy part of the country, where the weakly men might regain their strength. Of course nothing will be done to relieve these men from the duty of sacrificing their lives for the sake of the Peshawur valley; but it would be hard to deny them at least the sympathy of the public, who look with silent awe on the recklessness of the authorities, and pray for the time when economy may be extended to the lives of human creatures. At the Liverpool Police-court on FrMay, li: Rogers, cook on bo%rd the steamship Thebes, was fiu ed 2100 for smuggling 341 b. of tobacco and cigars, which he had brought on shore from the vessel upon her arrival from Alexandria. THE ADMIRALY.—IVe understand that a large nu. n ber of writers willbe discharged from the Store Audit Divi sion of the Accountant• General's Department on the 31st inst., as the arrears of business on which they are em ployed will then have been satisfactorily disposed of.— Civil Service Gazette. Li Box DOCTEUR Nolß.—lt is a melancholy fact, which should, however, be recorded, that the lamented Dr. Davis, who did such good service in Eastern France, and died at his post from small-pox, had never been vaccinated. He entertained a strong prejudice against the system, which he had expressed on more than one occasion. On his death-bed, when it was, unfortu nately, too late, he did not conceal his regret that he had not submitted to the operation.—Lancet. In reference to the late narrow escape from destruc tion of her Majesty's ship Hercules, we are informed that the lamp trimmer was not aware that any powder was on the half deck when he took up the lanterns, which were intended for the convenience of the men during the time allowed for smoking. The officer who so gallantly and with such presence of mind extinguished the light was Mr. Henry Neale Scarfe, paymaster, who, it appears from the " Navy List," has received the Royal Humane Society's medal for having saved life at sea.—Pall llfall Gazette. A. small screw-steamer, for service in the Black Sea, has just been completed for a Russian company by. Messrs. Yarrow and Hedley, of Poplar. It is 40ft. in length, 10ft. beam, and is very strongly and substantially built. Vie understand it is to be shipped within the next few days on the deck of a large vessel trading to the Black Sea. This vessel has been built for towing pur poses; but such crafts as these only require to be fitted with a powerful gun in the bow to forni means of attack and defence not to be ignored. ADVICE TO A SON.—Do not begin to quarrel with the world too soon; for, bad as it may be, it is the be t we have to live in here. If railing would have made it better, it would have been z eformed long ago. The worst fault it has is want of charity ; and calling. knave or fool at every turn will not cure this failing. If there were not so many knaves and fools as we find, the wise and honest would not be those bright and shining characters that they are allowed to be. We may laugh or weep at the madness of mankind ; we have no right to villify them for our own sake or theirs. Misanthropy is not the disgust of the mind at human nature, but with itself. —Hazlitt. MORE PRUSSIAN INSULTS TO ENGLAND.—C. 1. Reilly, the English military attach 4 to the " Army of the Loire," has just landed in England. He was taken pri soner at Orleans by the Prussians, who, far from respect ing his nationality, or treating him with the consideration his position warranted, made things as unpleasant as pos sible, and treated him very badly in every way. They took him all through France, and only released him at Saarbruck on condition that he gave his word not to re turn to the French army. The colonel states that the Prussians openly assert their indifference 'to the opinion of the English, and a determination to act as they please without reference t 6 it.—John Bull. .AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.—The Independance Beige mentions a clever trick that has been played off against the German authorities in a small town of Alsace. A Prussian officer takes upon himself the duty of supervis ing the local journal which is printed in French and Ger man. He is only acquainted with the latter tongue, and contents himself with reading the German division, be lieving both columns contain the same words. This is not the case, however, for they are very differently con structed. For instance, the other day the German column said that the last sortie of the Parisians had only made the blockade still tighter, and the intrepid Wurtembergers had entirely beaten them. The King had telegraphed to Queen Augusta. The French column on the other hand declared that the Parisians had had a glorious victory, and the Germans lost heavily. This time, it is added, the the King will not write to Queen Augusta. The manceuv,T has been so successful that the number of subscribers has doubled, and the commandant perhaps ascribes the popu larity of the paper to is German tendencies. BRIGANDS OF ASIA MINOR.—I was calm enough to examine with great curiosity our unwelcome visitors. They were dressed in the costume of the co un t r y, arme d to the teeth, with their guns slung over their shoulders, and a whole arsenal of small arms in their g i r dl es — a more awful-looking set of scoundrels it is impossible to conceive; the only exception I ought perhaps to make being Lefteri himseif, who was rather a fine-looking man, of middle stature, well made, and with not quite such a repulsive-looking countenance as the rest. He was also much better dressed than his companions, having on a blue cloth Jacket handsomely braided in black, full red trousers, his headdress consisting of a fez, with a white turban twisted round it. I remarked that he wore a broad silver band high up on his arm, with an embossed picture set in it of the Madonna, under whose special protection, lie afterwards informed us, he considered him self to be. It was the first time I should think that they had found themselves in a well-furnished room, the appearance of which seemed, therefore, much to surprise them ; and it required some effort on the part of M r . S-- to prove to them that the piano , and harmonium were not money-chests in disguise. - !iron/ "A Lady's Euceunter with Brigands in Asia Minor," in the "Cornhill Magazine" for January. ,-,0. THE WAR. TIE OCCUPATION OF ORLEANS. The Ultion Liberate of Tours, says that the fresh occupa tion of Orleans is worst than the first. "It was agreed that the town should not be subjected to any fresh war contribution, but that the soldiers should be lodged and fed by the inhabitants. This stipulation is exacted most rigorously. From Monday morning private houses were literally taken by assault bythe soldiers,'who came in worn out with fatigue and still furious for battle. Nothing, it is said, could convey an idea of the scenes of the first day. Since that time the occupation has become regular without becoming lighter. The town, already ruined by the former occupation, is in the deepest misery ; bread is at seven sous a pound ; no more tobacco is to be found ; and numbers of the most necessary articles are not to be had. We are assured that the Bishop of Orleans i 9 a prisoner in- his palace, guarded by Prussians. About 150 guns are posted on the quays. A curious detail is given as to the ingenuity of Prussian espionage.. Before having been retaken, the town was inundated by Prussian officers, when in the afternoon of the 4th December, our sailors seeing the retreat commence, began to drag off their great guns, 25 of which they contrived to save, and notwithstanding a hail of shells, a great crowd asssisted and watched them. They were obliged to cease their work when they learned that the Prussians had forced the gate of St. Jean and were approaching ; immedi ttely a number of these curious gazers threw off their cloaks and shewed their uniforms. Thoy were Prussian officers or soldiers, who, unmasking of a sudden, threw themselves on the French and made prisoners of them." LAW AND POLICE. A CuRIOUS CHARGE AGAINST MILKMEN.—Thomas Messer, late a milk seller, in the employ of Mr. Dan cocks, purveyor of milk to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Fulham-road, and Thomas Goddard, his brother in-law, were examined at the Westminster Police-court, charged with conspiring to defraud Mr. Dancocks of his customers by other than lawful means. Mr. W. D. Smyth, solicitor, of Rochester-row, prosecuted ; Mr. Collins, barrister, defended. Messer was bound to Mr. Dancocks under a £2O penalty not to sell milk on his own account within a certain radius, or assist another to do it ; but he appears, however, to have gone about with Goddard, to whom he handed some of the money paid by Mr. Dancocks's customers, the latter imagining that it wag Mr. Dancocks's milk. To one customer Goddard said he had bought part of Mr. Daucocks's walk ; and to another when she complained of the milk being thin, he said, "You had bettergo to the office," thereby inferring that he was in Mr. Dancocks's service. The theory of the prosecution, therefore, was that the two defendants were either selling their own milk, and attempting to deprive Mr: Dancocks of his customers, or that the milk was " watered," and the money handed to Goddard was that arising from the extra quantity produced by the water. ➢ir. Arnold gave judgment at some length, but was under the impression that the evidence of " watering " was only evidence of opinion, and, although the two defendants had been guilty of dirty and underhand proceedings, there was no conspiracy in law, and Mr. Dancocks had not been damnified, for there was no evidence that he had lost any of his customers, so, therefore, they had not acted crimi nally, and Mr. Dancocks would have a civil remedy against Messer if the evidence were correct. He should discharge them. MISCREANTS.--Ridding the Public of Dangerous Characters.—George Arthur Woodhouse and Samuel Clements, alias Clement W ix, were charged before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, with fre quenting urinals as suspected persons. Detectives Butcher and Shrives, of the C Division, about 12 o'clock on Friday night saw the prisoners following gentlemen into several urinals, and then took them into custody, having previously seen Clements talking to a fellow named Cassell, better known as " Lady Jane Grey." In reply to Mr. Knox the officer (Butcher) stated that Woodhouse was charged at that court in September, 1869, with a similar offence along with Cassell, and committed for three months hard labour, Cassell being sent to the Ses sions and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and a flogging, On searching Woodhouse, he found on him a powder puff, used for powdering his face. The prisoners entered into long and rambling statements, Woodhouse in a very effeminate tone of voice, and Wood house called a young man on his behalf, who as well as Woodhouse said tht. police persecuted them. Mr. Knox said of all the miscreants brought to that court, the pri soners were specimens of the worst, as they were in the practice of frequenting places for the purpose of extort ing money from persons by accusing them of crimes which would drive them from their fellows. The pri soners would be committed for three months' each with hard labour, and if they ever came before him again he would send them to the sessions. ADJUDICATING A MAN A BANKRUPT WRONGFULLY. — In she Court of Exchequer a Mr. Johnson, a draper of North Waisham, brought an action against a firm of Norwich solicitors for having adjudicated him a bankrupt without reasonable ground. The defendants pleaded that they had acted upon the instructions of the late Sir Robert Harvey, a creditor of the plaintiff, that every thing had been done in the ordinary course of businees, and that they were actuated by no vindictive feelings. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £1,560. THE 'ASSAULT UPON AN OFFICER.—With respect to the recent assault upon an officer in Enniskillen,the public are likely ere long to learn all particulars, The Enniskillen correspondent of the Irish Times writes :—" The public will ere long be gratified with a full denouement of all the matters connected with this case, for I am in formed that, acting under the advice of counsel, Mr. Porter's F olicitor will immediately institute a suit in the Divorce Court, where the alleged provocation that Mr. Porter is said to have received for administering the flogging, to the captain will be disclosed. Mr. Alexander, the solicitor, says. in a letter just published —" That an opportunity will be thus afforded of cor recting various mis-statements and impressions un favourable to my client in this most painful case, as well p as establishing in evidence the terrible provocation received by hint in his absence from his home, though denied on oath by Captain Poynter at the recent magisterial investigation here, which was necessarily an ex parte proceeding.' " AFFAIRS IN LYONS. A letter from Lyons, on the 20th, says :—" We have just received bad news. Nuits, where our two first mobilised legions of the Rhone were placed as advance guards of Garibald's small corps d'armde, has been attacked by the Prussians. General Bressolles received a despatch, from General Cremer, saying that he was attacked by considerable forces, but that he thought he could hold his ground by calling out all his forces, especially if the enemy were not reinforced. This hope was disappointed, for large reinforcements arrived, and the Gentians had already an immense artillery. The retreat was, however, effected in good order, and the Lyonnese who, yesterday, were but labourers and bourgeoisie proved excellent soldiers. Another account says that the fight was a desperate one, and was the more remarkable that the citizens who fought had only been armed two months. The manufactory of Decarcevilles, at Aveyron, has received orders from the Government for 10,000 projectiles ' for Reffye cannon. These projectiles are oblong with a fusee.- The construc tion of cannon, the transformation of guns, and all work of the kind goes on rapidly in all the great workshops. The Society of Weavers at Lyons have subscribed 20,000 francs in sums of 10 centimes for the National Defence. The Municipal Council of the city has voted 5,000 f. for assisting 'the army of Garibaldi. He is now between Chagny and Beaune, and troops and artillery have been sent to him from Lyons. A proposition has been laid before the Municipal Council recapitulating the claims of Garibaldi to consideration, and recommending that he should be proclaimed a member of the Government of National Defence, for which he is qualified, being a French citizen, the citizenship of Lyons having been bestowed on him. The proposition was sent to the Committee of Ways and Means to propose to the Government and to the Communes of France. The correspondent of the Standard hears that General Chanzy has 60,000 men with him, and that he will be reinforced by at least 100,000 from Le Mans. It is said in Versailles that the passage of M. Tarb4, of the Gaulois, through the Prussian lines, by means of a safe conduct, has been confirmed. He had bought it of a Swiss for 10,000 f. Since this has been discovered they have refused to allow any one to leave. The rough blocks of granite destined for the 16 mono lithic pillars of the Hall of Victory, which is to be erected in the King's square in commemoration of the present war, have arrived at Berlin from Sweden. They are about 16 feet long and four feet in diameter, each block weighing 300 cehtners. The Germans in Shanghai, Kingpo, and Hankow have lately forwarded a new donation of £762 is. 2d. to the Hamburg Committee for the Aid of the Sick and Wounded in the present war. This is only one proof among many of the interest taken by all Germans resident abroad in the military successes of their country, Many more Freuch officers protest in Friday's Inde pendance Beige against the project of a Bonapartist resto ration. They give their best wishes to the Government of National Defence, and their allegiance to the regime that independent France may choose. Fourteen lists of these protests have been, published. The total number of signa tures must be over 2,000. A letter from Amiens, in L'Ordre, says :—" We have been invaded by the whole army of Manteuffel, who is returning from Rouen. There was fighting all day on the northern road, a league from Amiens. All day we heard the sound of cannon. To-morrow a great battle will be fought, for to-day we had only outpost en gagements. I saw the whole Prussian staff arrive, con sisting of five generals and 150 officers, with an escort of 500 horse." The Prussian Government cont nues to exercise severity towards the Press. A number of the Vossische Gazette of Berlin was confiscated a few days ago for an unpatriotic article on the war, and General Falkenstein has now pro hibited, under pain of a year's imprisonment, the intro ductim into the maritime provinces during the war of two Copenhagen papers, his object probably being to prevent their circulation in North Schleswig. Extract from a letter received December 21, from Carentan, about two hours' journey, by railway from Cherbourg, dated December 17 :—" There is an army of nearly 100,000 already formed near Carentan, and more are arriving every day. This day the passenger trains are suppressed, to allow of the passage of the soldiers. Carentan may be destroyed, but the Prussians will not be able to get to Cherbourg. All the meadows are flooded, to the depth of three feet. The Prussians have not yet reached Honfleur nor Bernay. They think to take Havre, but it will be well defended." The trade at Havre, usually so great, is prostrated by by the war. The docks, generally crowded with shipping of every nationality, are now almost empty; and the quays are a place of resort only for loungers. All business other than mere retail trade is suspended, and the foreign merchants and residents, who have mostly sent away their wives and children, and remain only to protect their property, are kept in a state of most unen viable anxiety and suspense. A correspondent gives a good account of the Mobiles in the north of France. " Their most obvious weakness is that so many of their officers are learners like themselves, and that hence they have few leaders on whom they can rely. But they are of different blood and race from the levies of the south, who fell upon their faces when they were ordered to fire, and the Mobiles of Normandy deceive me greatly if they would not do good service in. the hands of an efficient commander. The Dieppe Battalion is especially conspicuous for fine, stalwart-look ing men, and the Havre Artillery has all the appearance of a trained and disciplined force." 'ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Pills. Everybody's wish.—One of the many causes of the eminent success of this medicine is the quiet purifying influence it exerts over the circulation. It watches over the new blood forming from the food, invigorates the distribution of the mature blood, and casts out the old, which has done its duty, and whose further presence becomes detrimental. By taking Holloway's pills agreeably to their accempanying instruc tions, every person may obtain the best permissible state of health, without interfering materially with the usual habits, pleasures, or pursuits. The excellence of this medicine cannot be exaggerated, nor can any one who has not witnessed the marvellous effect upon the appetite and all ithe digestive organs have a notion of the power Holloway's treatment possesses for renewing health.
