Not the least troublesome of the many perplexing questions which beset the relief given to our paupers is the education given to our children. Those who are actually within the precincts of the Union are of course taken charge of by the authorities, and receive some kind of education at the cost of the parish. The children brought up in workhouses are not always the most satisfactory members of the pauper community, and they are very apt to become permanently pauperised. The girls more especially sink to a low grade, and the prejudice existing against workhouse girls hinders them from getting into respectable situations. Still there is no reason to complain that they are left actually uneducated, since the guardians pay a properly qualified master and mistress, and great improvements have taken place of late years in the management of workhouse schools. They have been for the most part removed to a distance from town, and the children have the advantage of growing up in fresh air and being kept apart from the miscellaneous throngs that fill the workhouse. But those paupers who are in receipt of out-door relief can bring up their children as they please. While they are receiving the money of the State they may be allowing their children to associate with thieves and pickpockets, and preparing a heavy charge for the future against the pockets of the ratepayers. If they are honestly destitute it seems a hard case that, while the parish relieves their bodily wants, it does not azs'st, them in a matter less pressing, but not less momentous. At least, this is the view of the case which presents itself to Lord 11.111ROW0Y, who last night endeavoured to mend matters by the introduction of a fresh clause into the Poor Relief Bill in the House of Lords. The nob:e earl proposed that the guardians should have the power of making it a condition of grantin o c , outdoor relief, that children of six years old and under should be sent to school at the expense of the guardians. Ti:e exercise of the power was to be at the discretion of the guardians, as the time for which outdoor relief is granted is sometimes so short as to make any proposal of the kind quite useless. On some grounds the scheme appeared to be a good one, but we are not surprised that it failed to find favour with the House. There are many solid objections to it which could hardly fail to strike a careful observer. In the first place, it offers temptation to the indolent and encroaching to shift the burden of their children's education from themselyes to the State. " To go so far," as 4i per Cant.

The " working man" selected for the honour is Mr. Airey, and he has already put forth a lengthy address. He avows himself a Protestant, and says the principles of Protestantism " can be maintained without the patronage of the State." He is, therefore, favour able to the disestablishment of the Irish Church. The Maynooth Grant, he considers, " ought to be immediately abolished," and he would " strenu ously oppose the Government proposal to establish a Roman Catholic College in Ireland." The rate paying clauses of the Reform Act, he says, " must be repealed." He is for manhood suffrage and a large curtailment of the national expenditure. He is favourable to the introduction of a Maine Law, and would support such a measure as the Permis sive Bill. Above all, he would vote for the ballot, and is opposed to treating and canvassing, modestly affirming that " it will be an honour to the electors, and especially to the working-classes, if they prove to the world that an election can be conducted upon Ore and independent prin ciples." We have received a letter from Mr. Edmund Beales, in reference to the report that he intends to offer himself as a candidate for the Tower Ham lets. He says he is not personally ambitious of the honour of entering the House of Commons, and if conferred on him "it can only be by the spontaneous action and at the voluntary expense of the constituency" requiring him to undertake the duty. Nor could he be a party, " directly or indirectly, to any pecuniary expenditure whatever, or to the obtaining a single vote otherwise than as the complete free-will offering of the voter." Ile adds that his great political aim has been and is to refute the " erroneous, dangerous, and nation ally discreditable notions " entertained as to the motives and character of the working classes, and to teach the latter " the superiority of _intelligent moral force over brute physical force." The House of Commons is certainly trying its best to make up for the lost time of the earlier part of the SC'SSIOn, and five hours yesterday morning were devoted to the Public Schools Bill, and part of it occupied the whole of the morning sitting. Mr. NFAVDEGATE proposed to extend the period of the existence of the governing bodies until 170, and in I.;iirsuance of this purpose he twice divided the I louse, and on both occasions was unsuccessful in his attempt. This is as well, because to wait for so long a time will only unsettle the minds of those most immediately concerned, and can really be of little service to any one.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1868, ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. ExETER.--The Western Morning News says that it is stated that the rumours with reference to the probable candidature of the Attorney-General (Sir J. Karslake) for Exeter are so far correct that the hon. gentleman would stand in:the event of there being no contest. He will not, however, oppose Mr. Coleridge. Therefore if two candi dates are brought out on either side, Sir John Karslake will not be among them. BARNSTAPLE.—Sir G. Stucley (C.) and Mr. Thomas Cave (L.), the sitting members, will offer themselves for re-election. BRIDGWATER.-It is rumoured that the sitting Liberal members for Bridgwater will be opposed at the next election by Mr. Henry Westropp (who formerly sat for the borough, but was unseated on petition) and Sir Alfred glade, in the Conservative interest. TIPPERARY.--Mr. Peter Gill has announced his intention :)f contesting this county against Mr. C. Moore. EXFLANATI , Barometer corrected and reduced to n deg, a sea level.

This morning a considerable increase in pressure is noticed in the S.W. and S., though in the north scarcely any change has occurred. Temperature has decreased in Scotland ; but at most of our other stations a rise is shewn. The winds continue moderate in force ovel Great Britain, where they have veered to the westward. In Ireland they are inure northerly than they were yesterday. Some rain has fallen in N.W. and in London. This morning the weather is cloudy, but fine. The Paris correspondent of the anti-Ministerial Morning Post says that Mr. Disraeli's speech at Merchant Taylors' Hall has been a good deal commented upon in Paris, and that the general feeling seems to be that to a certain extent the Premier was justified in saying what he did. " When M. Drouyn de Lhuys was Minister of Foreign Affairs he never knew how to read the policy of England towards any country when a great question arose, and he used to say so. Lord Russell would threaten Russia about her conduct towards the Poles in language which generally precedes war ; he would propose a naval demonstration in conjunction with a military move on the part of France to save Denmark, but at the last hour England withdrew and left nothing but empty bluster behind. In Italy we lost influence by unwise diplomatic appointments, and at Constantinople, where we used to have always one of our best diplomatists, we removed a man of known ability to be replaced by simply an amiable gentleman. It is quite true to say that England under the policy of Lord Derby stands higher than England as represented abroad by Lord Russell." There, however, the agreement with Mr. Disraeli's statement ends. The assertion that "at no time was the prospect of peace more certain than it is at present "is strongly denied. No one expects war this year ; but there is danger in the future. No doubt the influence of England would be exerted in favour of peace ; and we are fortunate in having such a representative at Paris as Lord Lyons. But when people contemplate the vast warlike prepara tions of France and Germany ; when we get the language of distrust from such men as Bismarck and Moltke ; when public meetings in Germany denounce " the line of the 'Mein "—i.e., the Treaty of Prague ; when the Em peror Napoleon insists on carrying out the vast war pro gramme, despite so much opposition ; when the fears of the future continue to keep our money market stagnant and fill the Bank of France with gold to an extent never before known—people may be pardoned for at least fear ing that the world may not be favoured with " continued peace." Between the first and the last of the twenty successful candidates at the Royal Naval College for commissions in the Royal Marines there was a difference of 4,254 marks. Still more noticeable, the first man, Mr. Edward Wheeler, hat 1,239 marks more than the second, a difference of nearly 23 per cent. THE SHOEBURYNESS EXPERIMENTS. Tlie second stage of the War Office programme of trials st Shoeburyness has commenced with operations against the experimental casemate, a structure standing side by side with the shattered Plymouth fort target. The case it ate to be practised upon by shells of different diameter, propelled by charges varied in force, presents the view )f an oblong iron target, twelve feet in height from its ranite base, with a porthole to the right of its centre. On the back-plate, 2 inches thick, which extends over the whole, are bolted plates of different thickness, which, com mencing from the proper right of the casemate, are in Drdcr as follows :—First, an 8-inch plate, 4 feet 3 inches wide, and reaching from top to bottom of the target ; secondly, a 43-inch plate, with hollow bars between it and the back-plate ; then a 6-inch plate, between which and the back-plate 'are Hughes's patent hollow stringers; then, on the other side of the embrasure, a 4-inch plate, with hollow bars behind ; next, a plate 14i inches thick, about one-half of which is backed by concrete, and the other half by hollow iron bars, with perpendicular girder iron, making at the embrasure an entire thickness )f 3 feet. The shield proved itself a perfect protection tgainst the Rodman and 9-inch rifled guns, but was pierced 1 .11 its weakest parts by the new 10-inch Woolwich rifled run. THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK ON THE IRISH CHURCH. On Tuesday evening the annual civic banquet to the archbishops, bishops, and clergy took place in the Egyp ian Hall, Mansion House, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor. After the usual loyal and :omplimentary toasts were disposed of, the Lord 11layor, in proposing " The House of Lords," said lie had no hesitation in expressing his belief that on . Ilursciay the House of Lords, by a large majority, would teject the bill sent up for the disestablishment of the Irish o!hurch. In replying the ARCHBISHOP of YORK said at that critical time he should not scruple to accept the duty which had been imposed upon him, although in view of approaching events it might have been well to have Coupled the toast of the House of Lords with some one born to that dignity and likely to remain there as long as he lived, and to bequeath it to his sons and grandsons fter him. But he did not scruple to acknowledge the coast which had been proposed, as a kind of bystander in the House of Lords, as he must necessarily be, having - ome there some five or six years ago ; and with a debate disestablishment looming ahead, he thought he night venture to say that the country did not entirely appreciate the importance of such an Institution as the tiouse of Lords in the conduct of its affairs. (Cheers.) although the great virtue of the House of Lords was ilence, yet, if the company had been called upon to meet tt that board a week later, they would have been able point to the capacity of that House to conduct a prolonged and great debate. (Cheers.) The Lord Nlayor had assumed that on Thursday the House of Beers would divide on a most important question which was before it. He thought it would not divide then, but would give to such a great constitutional question an mount of grave consideration which he would venture to say it had not received elsewhere. As to the conclusion %t which their lordships would arrive after such consideration, it did not become him at that moment to speak. The chairman had alluded to the great question, which was in the mouth of everyone, f disestablishment and disendowment. He (the Arch ;Jishop of York) confessed that as regarded that question there did not lurk in his mind the smallest feeling of fear. (Cheers.) The Church, of which he was an unworthy member, did not stand upon a foundation laid by the State ; and if it should happen hereafter—it would not happen yet—that it should be disestablished and disendowed, 'here was a worse thing still that might happen ; the remembrance of the constraining love of their great Lord might die out of their hearts, they might cease to send missions to the end of the earth, and they might cease to wrestle with the evil of their own hearts. Then, indeed, the Church of England would have been disestablished and disendowed, because the King of Kings would have left them. THE TELEGRAPHS BILL. While the fate of the Telegraphs Bill, at present under examination by a select committee of the House of Com. mons, is still uncertain, we have to thank the opponents of the measure for kindly providing us with an unanswerable argument in its favour. In the fugitive literature which the companies have issued for public edification, one great point dwelt upon has been the effect of the proposed change in the interests of the press. We were asked to bear in mind how dangerous a thing moaopoly was ; and we were told that in a country as this, where political feeling ran high, a Govern. ment monopoly would be specially objectionable, as tempting to favouritism and partiality in the selection and distribution of news. An official department might intentionally withhold the report of a speech by a political opponent ; it might favour one journal at the expense of another ; it might tamper with the sacredness of privileged communications. Sir James Graham had opened letters ; the MachiaVelian Scudamore might pry into telegrams. Q. e. d. We all knew that such fears were perfectly chimerical ; but we, in addition, wanted evidence of the actual abuses of the present system. Just in the nick of time, as if solicitous to take away from their best friends all excuse for supporting them, the companies themselves are obliging enough to give us exactly the illustration we want. It appears that among the many provincial newspapers which have advocated the Government measure is the Belfast Northern Whig. Our contemporary, in a leading article, had the audacity to complain of the present system, its charges, the errors in transmission, and other points. For doing so it received a, missive from the Electric and Inter national Telegraph Company, stating that the article would be submitted to the next meeting of directors, and that the attack was " most unjustifiable." The letter wound up with the extraordinary remark, that the time appeared to have arrived when the directors should seriously consider whether the contract with the journal should be continued, and that no doubt they would come to a decision which would enable the proprietors to make their own news arrangements on less exorbitant terms. That is to say, because an independent journal chooses to express an opinion on a topic of wide public interest, the telegraph company threatens to take advantage of its power, as almost the sole distributor of intelligence, to deprive that journal of the essential aliment needed by the pur veyor of news. If this is not " monopoly "of the worst kind, the word has lost all meaning. To apply the screw to provincial newspapers, and threaten them with "no news" unless they see things exactly in the same way as the magnates of Telegraph-street, is an inde fensible abuse of power which has been legally acquired, but which is tolerated only under certain clearly defined conditions. It was never the intention of the Legislature that one great company should have such a control over the press ; the business of sending news, like that of conveying parcels, being looked upon as a purely commercial speculation, a matter of payment in cash, not in opinion, for value received. We have now found out what the wishes and the powers of these com panies really are, and we have to thank the proprietors of the Northern Whig for making us aware that a termina tion of existing arrangements is even a more urgent affair than we had supposed.— Tclerjraph. Miss Carpenter contributes a letter to the Star on the subject of female education in India. She found, on het recent visit to that country, that a strong desire had sprung up among the enlightened natives of various parts of the country to promote the education of the female part of the community, who exercised so important an influence on their homes. The great obstacle to this is the general want of female teachers, as there are at present no II indoe ladies who have been trained to such an office. To remedy this evil, Miss Carpenter intends going out shortly to commence a training•school. This scheme she believes will receive the full co-operation and sympathy of the enlightened natives. It will be necessary for her to take out a trained certificated teacher, whose expenses must be paid, Educated ladies who go out as voluntaries to train as teachers in the institution with the mistress will receive board and inesuc43ll in the ver nacular. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. LORD RANELAGH AND THE UNFORTUNATE.--SIN GULAR CASE.—Louisa Gould, an unfortunate, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Lord Ranelagh, who resides at No. 7, New Burlington street. Lord Ranelagh sail—Last night I was walking along Piccadilly when this woman accosted me, and asked me to give her some money. She said she was a milliner, and that she had two little milliners, if I would like to go and see them. I walked away, and she followed me, and again asked me for money, and on my telling her to go away she knocked my hat off and my cigar out of my mouth. The reason why I charged her was because I thought that the next time she met me she might knock my teeth out. The woman is well known at the police station. Mr. Knox—Does your lordship know the pri soner ? Lord Ranelagh—l have known her for about seven years. The Prisoner—We have been on the best of terms, I can assure your worship. I have been a good friend to you, Lord Ranelagh, when you have been short of money. Although you are a lor3, you know you are poor. I met you last night in Piccadilly, and told you that you had forgot to remit me some money you pro mised me. When I met you once before you told me that you had been in Kent with your rifle corps, and you then gave me all the money you had about you—half a crown. I have seen you often, and been to your house repeatedly, and I am surprised you speak of me in the way you do. Police-constable Harding, 223 C—At a quarter to 12 last night I was in Piccadilly, and Lord Ranelagh called me to the prisoner and complained that she had knocked his hat off and his cigar out of his mouth, and that she had annoyed him all along Piccadilly, because he would not give her any money. I did not see the assault committed, but I saw his lordship's hat lying in the street and dirty. Mr. Knox—Prisoner, why did you knock Lord Ranelagh's hat off ? The Prisoner—l was annoyed. I admit doing Lord Ranelagh—They say at the station that she is well known. Mr. Knox—ls she known ? Barns, the gaoler—She has been here several times charged with drunkenness and disorderly con duct, but nothing else. Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—Whatever your pre vious cause of complaint against Lard Ranelagh may be, if you really have one at all, you have no right to assault him. .1 presume, Lord Ranelagh, all that you require is not to be molested in future. Lord Rauelagh—•That is my object. The Prisoner—Why do you not pay me the 7s. 6d. you owe me ? It is not much, and you know that you owe it to me. Mr. Knox—l shall order the prisoner to find a bail to keep the peace towards Lord Ranelagh and all the Queen's subjects. THAMES. A LIBERAL WELSHMAN.—John Jenkins, a portly Welshman, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. The prisoner was found in the White chapel-road yesterday afternoon. He was helplessly intoxicated. There were several bad characters about him, and they would have soon stripped him of his money, watch, and everything of value about him if it had not been taken care of. Mr. Benson—Now, John Jenkins, an old gentle man like you ought to have known better. The Prisoner—The air of London does not agree with me. I am going to Wales at the end of the week, and the air of my native mountains will restore me to health. Mr. Benson—Not if you indulge in strong drinks, Mr. Jenkins. You have been locked up all night ? The Prisoner—Yes, sir ; in a police cell all night. Mr. Benson—The police don't provide well furnished drawing-rooms for drunkards. You may go, John Jenkins. You have been locked up all night and I shall not fine you. The Prisoner—Thank you, sir. As you have not fined me I shall hand you over 53. for the poor box. The money was accepted. FOND OF PRlSON.—George Chapman, a brick layer's labourer, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with assaulting his wife. The complainant, a respectable young woman, said that she formerly lived in Colchester with her husband, and he had been sent to prison for one, two, three, sir, and twelve months, for beating her. Mr. Benson—You are very fond of prison, George Chapman. The Prisoner—lt's all lies, your worship; I never had more than six months ; that was the heaviest sentence. Mr. Benson—You must have committed an ag gravated assault, or the Mayor of Colchester would not have committed you to prison for six months. The Prisoner—lt was three months, and three months more for want of bail. Mr. Benson—No one would become surety for you. The complainant said she was struck by her hus band last night. Ile was always ill-using her, in bed and up, night and day, summer and winter. He was a big villain. Mr. Benson would now inflict a more moderate punishment than the prisoner was in the habit of receiving. He sentenced him 0 one niDnth's im prisonment and hard labour. WESTMINSTER. ASSAULTS ON THE POLlCE.—William Washington was charged with assaulting Mary Anne, his wife, and further assaulting Sergeant Arthur Mason, 24 1.3. Sergeant Mason said the wife was not in attend ance. At seven o'clock he was in Regent-street, Westminster, and saw the prisoner and his wife. The prisoner suddenly turned round and struck his wife a tremendous blow in the mouth, which bled very much. She gave the prisoner in charge, and ho held him by the cuff of the coat ; prisoner began scuffling; threw him twice, and tried to get his hand in his stock, but Davis, 234 B, came to his assistance and prevented his doing so. Prisoner said his wife aggravated him, and he was sorry he struck her ; he did not intend to assault the constable. Mr. Arnold fined him 20s. or 11 days for the assault on the sergeant, and ordered him to find bail to keep the peace to his wife for six months. Gustavus Adolphus Whalebone, a cab-driver, 13,950, was charged with being drunk and assault ing Sergeant Bone, 7 B, while in the execution of his duty. The Sergeant said the prisoner was drunk and beating his horse in Tothill-street, Westminster, and he followed him down his master's yard. The prisoner jumped off the box and said, " Take that, you --," and struck him in the mouth ; the sergeant closed with him, and the prisoner threw him, severely injuring his head; the washer and Mr. Downey, his master, came, but could not get him off the sergeant, and he was so violent, and kicked so much, that the latter was obliged to draw his staff and use it freely. Prisoner denied the charge, and contended that the constable had no right to follow him into the yard, and he should have taken his name in the street. The constable shook him, and they fell together. Mr. Arnold convicted him of misconduct as a hackney carriage driver, committed him for two months' hard labour, and revoked his license. The Commissioners on International Coinage held a meeting yesterday, at 6, Old Palace-yard. Present —Viscount Halifax, the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P. Colonel the Right Hon. J.

LITERATURE. Routledge's Shilling Shalcspere. Edited by Charles Knight. One vol. ; pp. 761. George R)utlelge and Sons, London and New York. This exquisitely printed volume is to our mini the most wonderful triumph yet achieved is the way of cheap literature. It is a pearl of price, brought within the reach of all at the cost of a few halfpence. A whole library in itself, it can nevertheless be dropped into a silo pocket or stowed away in the corner of one's valise. What artist was it who said that The Bible, Shakspere, and Vasari would suffice for him if he were con demned to perpetual solitary confinement ? The Bible and Shakspere would do, at a pinch, by them selves. For, as the example,or rather as the archetype and all-comprehending representative of profane literature, Shakspere's works are more than a microcosm. They are not so much a world in little, as they are the world itself, clearly and marvellously reflected. Massed together, they form " one entire and perfect chrysolite." Examined each apart from the rest, every separate work is a masterpiece. Hamlet, The Tempest, Macbeth, King Lear, Othello, would, any one of them, alone, have made the fame of a great poet, of one of the world's greatest poets and dramatists. Emanating all from the same brain, and together with them all the comedies, all the tragedies, all the historical plays—the whole of the hundred and fifty-four ex quisite sonnets, each a cameo most delicately and wondrously carvelled—the " Rape of Lucrece," the " Venus and Adonis," the "Lover's Complaint," the " Passionate Pilgrim," the dainty songs (set to their own music), the prologues, the epilogues, the choruses the multifarious emanations from the heart and intellect, the genius and fancy of William Shakspere are more like the productions of a crowd of poets than of one man. Hence the fantastic theories put forth at different times as to the authorship of works that it seemed impossible, simply impossible, ac cording to these theorists, for one mac to have produced. And now to have all these astonishing masterpieces clustered together in a single volume, exquisitely printed, and purchasable for one shilling—surely nothing could surpass that in the way of cheap literature. Here, in truth, is The Splendid Shilling—not in John Phillips's little obselete poem so entitled, but in this extraordinary edition of the works of Shakspere, published by the Messrs. Routledge and edited by the best of all Shakspere's editors, Charles Knight, also the very best of all Shakspere's biographers. It is satisfac tory, but in no way whatever surprising, to know that already 50,000 copies of " Routledge's Shilling Shakespere, edited by Charles Knight," have been ordered by the trade. It is only an immense cir culation that can ever reimburse the munificent outlay involved in the production of so intrinsi cally costly and yet at the same time so astonish ingly cheap a publication as this latest, completest• compactest, yet for all that (in keen eyes) most legible one-volumed reprint of the plays and poems of our peerless Shakspere. Lam ORANGEtsm.--The Orangemen of Newry have made a presentation of a timepiece to Mr. Johnston, of Ballykilbeg, which suggested to him in his speech subsequently to advise the brethren to " regulate all their hours by William's (the Third) clock ; and, above all things, when the hour points to twelve, to remember the 12th of July, 1690." They must tell the Government, no matter who may be Prime Minister, that they cannot afford to disregard the Protestant voice of Ireland." lie had received an invitation to attend an Orange meeting at Waringstown, which several Roman Catholics had signed. He could not say whether there would be any further prosecutions at the next 12th of July. " The Government," he imagined, "would, if they had it again to do, think twice before send ing Johnston of Ballykilbeg to prison." Three clergymen spoke on the occasion. A correspondent of the Nord mentions that the Emperor Napoleon is very fond of taking solitary walks in the Forest of Fontainebleau, and making experiments with the small portable pump which has been used with so much advantage by the Eng lish in Abyssinia. It is said that his Majesty has discovered by its means a sulphur spring in the forest. A letter from Aumale, Algeria, in the Akhbart relates that a lion a few days ago carried off a young Arab girl of five years. Three native chil dren were playing near a Kabyle mill, inhabited by their parents, not far from Bouira, when a lion suddenly appeared. All took to flight ; but the youngest stumbled and fell, and was caught up in the jaws of the voracious animal. One of the others on reaching home died of fright. On the 10th of July Mr. Fawcett will move- - " That, in the opinion of this house, Catholics, Presbyterians, and other inhabitants of Ireland Win not be placed in a position of equality, in re ference to university education in that country' with those who are members of the Established Church, until all religious disabilities are removed from the fellowships, scholarships, and other honours and emoluments of Trinity College, Dublin." A s an amendment to Mr. Fawcett's resolution, Sir Joseph M'Kenna will move to leave out all after the word " until," in order to insert the words " he r Majesty's subjects in Ireland, of various religious denominations, more particularly Catholics and Presbyterians, shall be afforded by the State equa l advantages in respect to education, and equal pro tection for their religious faith, to those now afforded by Trinity College, Dublin, to the Protestant la' habitants of Ireland." The Moscow Gazette expresses great alarm at the large proportion of Polish officers still to be found in the Russian army. It shows from official re ports that at the end of the year 1867 the total number of officers was 21,908, of whom 16,68 5 professed the Russian orthodox religion, 3,2 11 were Roman Catholics, and 1,531 Protestants. As in this case the terms Roman Catholic and ol e are synonymous, one-seventh of the officers in th e Russian army are Poles. This is a somewhat smaller proportion than existed two years ago, the Government having since the Polish insurrecti on refused to appoint any person as an officer unle.se he is " politically safe." Notwithstanding thi ° ' the Moscow Gazette considers that the pro portion, of Poles in the army is still much too great, a n ° warns the Government not to fall into the sate ° mistake as it did in 1863, when regiments officer ed almost entirely by Poles were stationed in. th e Polish provinces of the empire, in the Caucasl-14, and in Siberia. The French and Pontifical officers at Civi ° Vecchia gave a dinner on Friday in celebration 0, the Pope's accession. The foreign consuls and tho Pontifical delegate were present. General Dune presided. lie proposed the health of Pius that venerable Pontiff, he said, whom the ErePe r° l and France would never abandon. The Papa ci delegate responded by proposing " health W prosperity to the Emperor of the French/ tho wh Sovereign of noble and generous France, 0, v her protection of the Pontifical throne, rendered service to religion, order, and true progress."
