Five persons were killed and twenty-five injured by the fall of buildings. The damage, as before estimated, is one million dollars. Strange to say, no disturbance was visible on the sea, though those on board ship say the earthquake was felt as if the vessels had struck upon a rock. THE DIPLOMATIC DIFFICULTY IN PARAGUAY. The conduct of Mr. Washburn, the American represen tative in Paraguay, has met with severe censure at Buenos Ayres. Various foreigners had sought the protection of Mr. Washburn when the Brazilian ironclads were ascending the river; but Lopez demanded that they should be given up as guilty of disobedience of his order to depopulate Asuncion. This request the American Legate refused, and the foreigners were therefore captured one by one as they left the Lega tion for any purpose. Mr. Washburn's desire to give them protection was humane, but as it was not his intention to remain in the country until the termination of the war, he is thought to have acted very indiscreetly. The imprisoned foreigners are now charged, not merely with disobeying the orders of Lopez to evacuate the city, but also with conspiracy, stealing money from the Paraguayan Government, and other "crimes." The attempt to protect them has, beyond doubt, complicated the difficulty. Mr. Gould, the British Secretary of Legation, is now on the Paraguayan riv r, and is said to be received in a very friendly manner by Lopez Very probably he may do something to effect the release of the prisoners. It would also be very acceptable if he could furnish us with an account of the true situation in that part of the world. The task of discounting the Brazilian reports is becoming hopeless. BERGEN-0,400k. The strong fortress of Bergen-op-Zoom stands near the mouth of the East Scheldt, a few miles from Antwerp. In the campaign of 1814 an attempt was made by the British, under Sir T. Graham, afterwards Lord Lynedoch, to carry this stronghold, then in the hands of the French, but after forcing an entrance their retreat was cut off, and a dreadful slaughter followed. Nearly all were killed or made prisoners. The fortifications of Bergen-op-Zoom are now being demolished ; sod the redoubt, where several hundred Englishmen were buried by pitfuls containing one hundred each, will soon be submitted to the spade and pick. As the ground is very dry, and as the earth has not been removed since the interment, it is expected that the remains of these soldiers will be to a great extent pre served. They will be disinterred some time between this and Saturday. Orders have been given to conduct with all possible respect the displacement of the last of these brave men. SPAIN' A popular demonstration in honour of the "advocates of liberty" who died under the rule of Isabella was held at Barcelona on Monday. The coffins of three officers were dug up, and exposed on a temporary erection, amidst the enthusiasm of the multitude. Funds have been raised for a monument in commemoration of these victims. The crowd dispersed in the evening amid cries of "Down with the Bourbons," " Down with Pretenders," " Long live the Republic." The proclamation addressed to the Spanish Democrats by Rivero Castelar and other leaders of the party maintains that the revolution has changed not merely the dynasty, but tho entire social and political system of Spain. Hereditary monarchy has succumbed. It is for Democracy to render its re-establishment impossible. A letter to the Havas Agency says the Republican party is making such progress that a little longer indecision on the part of the monarchists will decide the question of government against the latter. General Concha has been authorised to reside in Spain. The Republican Centre of Barcelona has nominated Juarez, Mazzini, Garibaldi, Victor Yugo, Carolina Coronado, and others as honorary members of their society. The Epoca says that a deputation from the United States has dis embarked at Santander to treat with the Provisional Government respecting Cuba. ITALY. The Italian merchant shipping is malting great pro gress. In 1866 the number of Italian seamen enrolled was 155,000; in 1867 this total had increased to 169,000. During the same space of twelve months the number of merchant ships had been increased by 339 vessels, with a total tonnage of 55,000. Figures of this kind are much more trustworthy than any descriptions can be. In respect of commerce Italy is evidently prospering, THE RIOTS AT ROTTERDAM. Rotterdam is quiet. The city is patrolled by soldiers, and the National Guard is stationed at the Hotel de Ville. The riots have terminated, but not before a very large number of arrests have been made. THE SOUTH AFRICAN GOLDFIELDS. Mr. Robinson, of the Legislative Council of Natal, writes respecting the goldfields in South Africa. He says there can now be scarcely a doubt that a large region, bordering and extending to the northward of the River Limpope, has for ages yielded gold to the natives, who have obtained the precious metal by means of the simplest processes and the rudest appliances. Mr. Robinson urges, however, that by far the best route is through Natal. It is very much shorter and more direct. The rivers are bridged, and an abundant supply of pasture exists all the way. Water also is plentiful, and has not to be purchased at the rate of half-a-crown a bucket, as is occasionally the case along other routes. The difficulties of the Drakenberg mountain range and of the Tsetse fly are purely imaginative. REGIMENTAL CANTEENS. Some time back the officers at some of our garri son towns were complaining bitterly as to the ner canteen arrangements. At Aldershot, for instancy, they had been providing for the amusement of the soldier from the surplus profits of the canteen. This was to the soldier's manifest benefit, and it harmed no one. Suddenly this arrangement was upset,. and there w as d anger t h at the amusement would be withdrawn, and the soldier would seek it where it was less pure. The complaint having been brought under the notice of the Duke of Cam bridge, he has reconsidered the new arrangement. He has now ordered that all charges in connection with the canteen should be paid from the profits, that those over should be allowed to accumulate to the amount of £5OO, £2OO, or -.C50, as the case may be, and that then the surplus should be expended at the discretion of the commanding officer, with the sanction of the district commander, "in such a manner as will enable the largest number of soldiers to profit by its expenditure." THE POLICE. The old cry " Where's the Police P" has, we are told, degenerated into a sorry jest. Sir Robert Peel's force has come to be laughed at for all practicable purposes. They can pick up stray dogs and confis cate children's hoops. They can frighten miserable starving women and pull the ears of the younger Arabs, without providing food for the one or putting the other in a home. But the " honest burglar" is rather too much for them, and they "funk" him. For this they are of course assailed ; but, as "A Chairman of Quarter Sessions," writing to the Times, thinks, rather unjustly. He lays the blame ? not on the police, but on the laws. He complains that "we allow a man addicted to robbery or any other crime to follow his trade as freely as any honest calling; we afford him a fair field without interference ; only we punish him if he is detected, and we seem to be surprised that after he has undergone his punishment he returns to his old trade, neither reformed nor deterred." The policeman dares not touch him until he has committed some act, and he takes care that the policeman does not often see him at his work. " Let all those who have proved themselves unmis takably to belong to the criminal class—i.e., by having been three or four times convicted—be sentenced to labour for life, not exactly in penal servitude, but to work in some Government establish ment, under supervision, and only to receive a remis sion of sentence under the conditions of the license of 1864, and we shall soon cease to have localities inhabited by known thieves and ruffians." WOMEN AND THEIR WORE. No lady has been more energetic and more really publicly useful than Miss Florence Nightingale. Whatever she said on the subject of women's work would be listened to with interest. But a letter to a gentleman in New York, in reply to a request for her autograph, photograph, and advice as to women's work, is intrinsically valuable. With regard to the photograph she says : " I do not wish my name to remain, nor my likeness. That God alone should be remembered, I wish." But she gives good advice. She counsels all young ladies who wish to follow a particular vocation to qualify themselves for it, as a man would do. " If you are called to man's work, do not exact a woman s privileges—the privilege of inaccuracy, of weakness, of muddleheads. . . . Look upon your work, whether it be an accustomed or an unaccustomed work, as upon a trust confided to you.' MIDDLE-CLASS SCHOOLS. The a Corporation " schools of the City of London have proved miserable failures. No design could have been more benevolent than to provide for the clothing and education of a certain number of boys. But clothes made in an old-fashioned pattern, from an obsolete cloth, with education as obsolete as the cloth, have made the schools rather laughed at than otherwise. Only the highest educa tion and the superior advantages connected with Christ's Hospital could have survived the yellow stockings and long gown which the boys in connec tion with it have to wear. Happily, there are those who see this in the City ; and schools are being established by the educational corporations, which, being of recent origin, will not offend the non historic by pressing on them memories of bygone ages, _ _ have inary [far g, istor ; lone° y bo- ,oliti- Eng- )r tho psoln 1 who hould n tiro tl, aSs lot be 3, of )rtant Shore Louth, spans
