A., Esq, OFF 2, Duke-street, W.C. It is with unfeigned regret that we have to announce that there is still widespread and very grievous distress in the East and other parts of London. When we remember that in most districts of the East of London there are no rich or even middle classes, the need of such a society as this in times of unusual distress is apparent. Emigration and migration have afforded limited relief ; but, when contrasted with the vast numbers needing help, this relief is almost inappreciable in its influence on that mass. Moreover, there are vast numbers of widows, orphans, and others incap tated by infirmity and age, for whom neither emigration nor migration could be made available. The committee will arrange, as in former years, that the Gospel shall be uniformly proclaimed to those admitted to the sewing classes ; their experience is borne out by tha: of the large number of ministers and others who have worked with them, that this was a main feature on which the success of their past operations has greatly hinged. The committee go forward with confidence, assured tha of t His the work is well pleasing to God, earnestly praying Him goodness to put it again into the hear thets o ir f su Hibstances people, mater in the ex ercise of their stewardship, to give of ial aid, confidently assuring them that thus they will make many hearts sing for joy, and the blessing of many who are ready to perish will rest upon them. The deaths, as shewn by official weekly returns, in four weeks, ending November 19, 1870, from smallpox, scarlet, typhoi 1, and typhus fevers, in the districts in which this committee admi nister relief, were 130. The deaths from the above diseases in one of our sub-districts, as compared with those in two more favoured West-end sub-districts, were for the same time as follows ; Bethnal-green, Hanover-square. Mayfair. 16 None. 1 The committee invite the prayers of all Christian people, and request those who are willing to devote themselves gratuitously to the work to communicate with the Honorary Secretaries, at the Office, from ten a.m. to four p.m. The accounts from those who were assisted by this fund to emigrate have been so very good that we beg to commend the object to our subscribers. But should any friend desire to con stitute a separate fund for the special relief of suffering Chris tians, either to assist them to emigrate or for any other effectual aid the committee deem advisable, such sums will be so devoted. Gifts of jewellery and other valuables may be sent to the Honorary Secretaries, who will have them converted into money for the benefit of the society. Cheques to be drawn in favour of East London Mission and Relief Society, and to be crossed " Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and C 0.," or "Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, Find eq." • Post-office orders to be drawn on the Charing-Frogs Post-C)fliCe, and made payable to E. Gardiner Fishbourne, 2, Duke-street, Adelphi.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1871 GENERAL TROCRU. The discontent in Paris against General Trochu is even more serious than earlier accounts warranted us in concluding. It seems to be a fact that at a recent Cabinet Council M. Jules Simon called upon the Go- vernor to give in his resignation. His sentiments were echoed by every other Minister except M. Jules Favre and M. Ernest Picard—who at once de- dared that if Trochu ceased to be Governor they would themselves resign. As they are the two moat solid and serious members of the Government, their will prevailed. At the end of the discussion Trochu made a speech, declaring that he felt himself to be equal to the duties of his position, and that he had no intention of resigning. The number of people who think differently of his competency is, however, increasing, both in and out of ~}ris. The Governor wants daring. The situation is one which requires vigorous, even risky, measures; and Trochu hitherto has done little, save wait for something to turn up. But it any change be made, it is scarcely likely that a "council of war" will pro duce the required effect.

MADAME TUssAUD'S (Baker-street) —From 10 a.m. till 10 p.m. Is.; extra rooms, 6d. now learn, through the Calcutta Examiner, that England may possibly have to go without a mitrailleur, in consequence of certain dealings of the Government with Major Fosbery. In the midst of this officer's important experiments with his gun, he was " packed off " to India, although the value of the experiments was fully recognised by the authorities in this country. The Calcutta Examiner says :—" Trio most flagrant waste is more tolerable to the British Government than the acceptance of the most trifling charge that might be saddled upon British India." It seems the India Office authorities, knowing that Major Fosbery was an Indian officer, and that if his services were retained here by the Home Government, the latter ought to pay for them, notified the fact to the War Department. The result has been that Major Fosbery was ordered to leave England, and the country, it it is ever to possess a mitrailleur will, the Calcutta paper states, "pay much more to some one else for it then she would have had now to pay to Major Fosbery." BRRECRLOADING GUNS FOR THE NAVY. Captain Sherard Osborn still strongly maintains the superiority of breechloading guns for the navy over muzzle-loaders. He complains that military men should have been allowed to decide a momen tous naval question, and attaches very little weight to the anterior decisions of the Admiralty. They had, he asserts, a strong prejudice against breechloaders, based on certain reports, and on the frequent accidents which occurred from the defective mechanism of Armstrong breechloaders. The Admi ralty, says Captain Osborn, are always in the rear of the improvements of the times. Tenyears ago they would hardly consent to put the navy into armour. live years ago they tried to shunt the turret system ; and now they stand up for muzzle-loading guns. Captain Osborn maintains it will be "a wicket waste of public funds," and what is worse, it will be putting our fleet in needless jeopardy if we send it with muzzle-loading guns to cope with the 11-inch breechloaders which are now being manufactured for Prussia and Russia. It is as reasonable to condemn all breechloaders because the Armstrong have proved defective as it would be to issue an edict insisting on our reverting to sand hour glasses because our timepieces got out of order. It a good reward were offered for the best breechload ing apparatus, English or foreign, we should soon, the Captain thinks, get what we want. MR. GLADSTONE AND GREENWICH. A meeting has been held at Greenwich by the ad vanced Liberal Association for the purpose of considering Mr. Gladstone's position as mem ber for the borough. The chairman explained that the requisition lately published on the subject bad emanated from those who had always been op posed to Mr. Gladstone. A resolution was carried by a large majority to the effect that the advanced Liberals unanimously protested against the spirit of the docu ment which had been put forward. They acknow ledged that some regret had been felt at Mr. Gladstone's non-appearance in Greenwich, but they accepted as a justification of his absence the great pressure of his official duties. One of the speakers at the meeting said that Mr. Gladstone's foreign policy was not po pular, and unless the French Ropublic were speedily recognised he would lose the support of many elec tors. Mr. Matthews believed it was for the general good that the dockyards were closed ; they were pro ductive of extravagance and waste, and those who worked in them were time-servers, incapable of ex ercising political indepen dence. THE CONTEST IN MEATH. Mr. John Martin, M.P., informed his constituents on Saturday that although he had come forward at the last hour his election bad not cost him one shil- ling. He could not at present tell them, he added, what use he would make of the p , sition they had chosen him for. It neither suited his means, nor was it agreeable to him to go further to Parliament than to College Green, Dublin. If the electors caa.ed, however, to have confidence in him, be would resign. Mr. Martin is, moroever, a Presbyterian, and there fore the influenge of the Roman Catholic voters of Meath have been partially, at least, opposed to him in the late election. The cir cumstances of the election and these ex pressions of Mr. Martin are sufficient proofs that the measures of justice held out of late years to Ireland are not yet considered to be adequate. The feeling in favour of Repeal is or.ce more likely to assume the importance given to it in the days of O'Connell, We may add one more signifi cant fact, and it is this, that the greatest majority of votes recorded for the Repeal candidate was given in the district of Navan, where lies the estate of Lord Russell, the tenants of which have in a body come forward to express their sympathy with what are termed Nationalist opinions. THE FENIAN PRISONERS. Many will be inclined to concur with O'Donovan Roma . in the opinion that the Government on the whole have dealt fairly with the Fenians who bave just taken their depar ture from these islands. On the ,mail-boat the Cuba, one of the most comfortable of the Cunard steamers, first-class accommodation was provided by the Government for their late captives, and instructions, we understand, were given to the ship's officers to allow the men to want for nothing on their passage out. Added to these acts of kindness, each prisoner was allowed to select his own winter and travelling outfit, and was supplied with a sum of £4 qs pocket money. Under thp terms of expatriation attending the liberation of the four chief Fenisns, Rosso. and M'Olure, are ordered to remain away twenty years. In the case of O'Connell and Devoy the limit of absence is only fixed at four years. THE BLOCK SYSTEM. A locomotive engineer gives an alarming list of collisions which have happened on lines where the block system is in force :—A passenger rain ran into a goods train at Colney Hatch, on the Great Nor thern Railway, in 1865; a collision occurred on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in a tunnel near Huddersfield; there was another collision on the same railway in the Bowling tunnel, near Bradford ; there was a very disastrous collision on the London and Brighton Railway in the 'Clayton tunnel; another collision occurred in the Welwyn tunnel, on the Great Northern Railway, the vehicles catching fire, which raged with great fury for many hours. The most recent example of this kind is the accident at Birmingham on December 24. Mechanical forgetfulness is a human failing against which even the block system is not proof, Signalmen allow one train to pass into a block before another has got out, and they have been known to do this several times, though no accident followed. SEED CORN FOR FRENCH FARMERS. Not the least distressing of the miseries inflicted on the French peasantry by the ravages of the war is the wholesale destruction of crops, prospective as well as present. The farmers of the invaded districts have not only seen their fields trampled down and their supplies taken from them by forced contributions and by the raids of the soldiers, but they have naturally lost all their seed corn for another year. The Central Chamber of Agriculture has set on foot a movement to raise funds for the relief of this distress, and the local Chambers throughout the country are taking it up vigorously. A. meeting of the East Kent Chamber has just been held to discuss the question, but though all were agreed as to the necessity of assisting the French agriculturists, there was some uncertainty as to whether the relief should be give!, at once, or withheld until the war was over. Lord Fitzwater urged that if it were given now it would be almost wasted, as very likely the lands would Q 0 s 0 1 0 00 00 00 00 00 00 NOTICE.

Hunger and cold are rapidly doing their work in Paris. The number of deaths in the week ending December 31st, was 3,280 —ten per cent. on the whole popu lation in the year. The extraordinary cold of the week did much to bring up this total. The average temperature during December was lower than has been known for many years. The break-up of the weather will probably produce some diminution in the rate, but it must still remain very high, The ' bombardment has excitel no notice in Paris. It has certainly done very little damage. But the famine and the elements are foes against whom no resist ance can avail. THE BATTLE AT BAUPAUME. Further reports respecting theßattle of Baupaume, in the North, are all to the advantage of the French, It is now clear enough that Faidherbe carried all the positions he assailed, that he retired chiefly because his troops carried only three days' rations, which they had consumed, and that the German story of damage inflicted during " the pursuit" is all moonshine. General von Giiben, the Prussian in command, states that too few troops came into action, from the over-slow marches of the forces; and also that the new regiments appeared to be weaker. Ile demands from the commanders of regiments a list of the officers who fled, that they may be instantly cashiered. This is not a very victorious relation, It not only admits the advantage of Faidherbe, but makes the important acknowledgment that the new levies are inferior. This is particularly the case with the men from South Germany. TIIE GOVERNMENT OF THE ARMY. The growing strength of public opinion respecting the advisability of Mr. Cardwell and the Duke of Cambridge, withdrawing from their present positions is a fact which calls for notice. The demand is one which ought soon to become irresistible. The Daily News says :—" The time has arrived for plain speak ing, Mere peddling changes or abortive plagiarisms of continental systems must not be suffered to divert the pUblic mind from the main question—the reconstruction of our army on a basis of merit, of instruction, of capacity." Amongst the elements of this reconstruction the Daily News puts the withdrawal of the Commander-in-Chief as one. The Morning Advertiser, a paper whose position has much improved of late, terms the British army an 4travagance, s jumble of incompetency, a job, The TAo ndon correspondent of the Manchoter Gyardian says, "every rumour is caught at eagerly that hints at the retirement of the Duke of Cambridge from the Horse Guards, and of Mr. Cardwell from the War Office." We can only say, let the waters rise. There are many different opinions respecting our military armament ; but there is no difference on this point : that the best possible result ought to be had for the fourteen millions vent, and that the actual result is almost the worst possible, THE WAR DEPARTMENT. The sudden manner in which the recent experi ments with mitrailleurs at Shoeburyness were brought to a close, and all discussion respecting them ended, doubtless astonished soma of our readers. We suffer further molestation. Lord Harris thought the neutrality of England might be affected by our assisting one of the contending parties. It was finally decided that a fund should be raised in money and kind, but that nothing should be given until peace was concluded, when it would be handed over to the Central Chamber. Two hundred pounds were subscribed at once, and large quantities of seed corn promised. THE QUAKERS AND THE WAR. The members of the Society of Friends have just held a meeting in London, at which it NVIS resolved to put in circulation an address on War and Christianity, in consideration of the appalling waste of human life, and the wretchedness inflicted on two of the principal nations in Europe by the present war. Is war, ask the Friends, consistent with the spirit and obligations of Chris tianity ? They answer that war fosters anger, revenge, ambition, cruelty, and even a thirst for blood, to say nothing of the other passions which follow in its train, whereas Christianity requires the exercise of compassion, forgiveness, long suffering, and love. The two classes of motives appear to be- irreconcilably incon sistent, for to expect war to be carries on under the influence of compassion, mercy, and forgiveness, involves a practical contradiction. It is not by mili tary renown or the arts of mutual slaughter that the progress of civilisation or the cause of human happi ness can be advanced. They therefore plead wiih their fellow-Christians to discountenance it as far as possible, as being opposed to human progress, essentially a backward movement in all that is civilising, and good, and holy, and in its varied aspects and its entire spirit opposed to the teaching ol Christianity. DEATHS FROM WANT. The painful cases of deaths from want of the common necessaries of life which annually reveal themselves in this wealthy country, seem to be growing more frequent instead of less so. A. farm labourer in Hartlepool, who was thrown out of employment by the frost, and had a blind wife to support, died, according to the verdict, "from natural causes, accelerated by want of sufficient food, nourishment, and warmth." In this case the man had not applied for parochial aid. In - London a widow, 78 years of age, in Clerkenwell, died of absolute want. She received three shil lings a week from the parish, but naturally this was' not enough to enable her to endure the extreme cold. A. similar case occurred the other day in Bethnal-green, where a woman, incapacitated for work, received 2s. weekly, and died from cold and want of food. It would be well if our elaborate parochial system could contrive some means of occa sionally inspecting the condition in which these aged and infirm pensioners live during extremely severe weather. Persons who can earn a shilling or two during the week for themselves, to eke out their parish allowance in moderate weather, lose the chance and the ability to do so in the frost, while they need more fire, food, and clothes. A shilling or eighteen pence, more or less, in such a weekly income makes the difference between bare living and absolute starvation. SUPPRESSION OF VAGRANCY. At a conference on the means of suppressing vagrancy, just held in Warwick, attention was directed to the Birmingham method, which had caused a great decrease of the evil in the town. It appears that in 1869, 20,578 tramps passed through the Birmingham Union, but that last year the number had fallen to 9,174. The chief points in the new treatment are efficient police supervision in the tramp wards, and discontinuing the repetition of relief to the same tramp. After a certain number of visits to the tramp ward, a man is refused admission on the supposition that he is a regular practitioner. The conference adopted a memorial to the Poor- Law Board desiring that new legislation on the subject of vagrancy might take place and that uniformity of treatment in all unions be secured by a general measure, It may be added that the Dorset Mendicity Society is working successfully. MONKEYS. The residents in English streets nre not the only persons who suffer from the continuous visitations of monkeys. In Madras the ugly animals are terribly plentiful, and the evil in that province is worse than in England, inasmuch as the monkeys do not bring with them any peace - inspiring foreigners, or anything in the way of harmony. So great is the annoyance caused by the little wretches in the Indian province that the municipal authorities, at once blind to any thought of the probable affinity between monkey and man so often disserted upon when both are sewn together in England, have planned by a horrible piece of treachery the annihilation of the tribe. A. sum of five hundred rupees has been set apart from the public funds to produce the " deportation" of the monkeys. This money is to be expended in the purchase of opium, which will be strewn about the streets for the treacherous delectation of the fourhanded. A primary experiment only caused the animals to stagger about the streets "in a disgraceful state of intoxicatiun," but it is believed that if the dose - is in-- creased the proper results will be obtained. Can we try anything of the kind at home ? BISHOP FRASER ON AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS AND TOWN YOUTHS. On Saturday evening the Bishop of Manchester distri buted, in the Oldham Town Hall, prizes and certificates to the successful students of the Oldham School of Science and Art.—Mr. J. Platt, M.P. presided ; and there was a crowded attendance. After the special business of the meeting, The Bishop said he hoped the youths to whom he had listributed I;rizes would regard them as encouragements for the future rather than as grounds merely for self- complacent retrospection, or for resting satisfied with a,st achievements Unabated attention on their part to mental culture and the acquirement of knowledge was especially desirable in the6e days, when the nation was at length trying to make real the boast that we lived on a free soil, under equal laws, with an equal chance for all to develope and make the most of whatever acuities God had blessed them with. What the Lew school boards made of the new Education Act, from which some expected so much, would depend almost entirely m `what their fellow-citizens compelled them to make of it. Wherever there was an enlightened public opinion in favour of education the measure would become a great and powerful reality ; but, on the other hand, where there was no such expressed and de veloped public opinion, he did not expect there would be any very great difference years hence, unless the Educa tion Department exercised, much more arbitrarily than any other department of Government had hitherto done, the very large powers entrusted to them under the act. He could not but commend the aspirations of the successful students who had been before him. Young men who so devoted themselves with steadiness and persistency to a course of useful study, deserved much credit and the very greatest encouragement. Before coming to the great diocese of Manchester, he had been nothing more or less than what was called a quiet country parson, with a small parish of about 370 souls, in tne rural shire of Berks. He then had a night school, and it used to be one of his greatest pleasures to go regularly and teach in that school for two hours on two nights a week. There were no nights that he spent more to his own satisfaction than those so employed with those plough boys and sheep boys in his little Berkshire night school. He mentioned this because there seemed a dis position in manufacturing districts to depreciate, a little rudely, the intellectual condition of the agricul tural labourer. - Before coming to Lancashire he had lived all his life among that class. He would freely admit that, if an agricultural labourer were set up to iscuss with one of the shrewd Lancashire operatives upon political or social questions, upon the rights of labour and capital for instance, the operative might puzzle the poor brains of the labourer very much ; but, on the other hand, if some of the operative class were to visit some of the rustic population which he (the Bishop) had left be hind him, he thought a matter or two could be found on which the agricultural labourers would rather puzzle them. In all districts, even among such labourers, that was a great deal of the stuff that made good English men. For instance, in farms around his late parish, a number of steam ploughs were used, and the engineers who drove these and managed them were all native agricultural labourers, not including one imported man from Yorkshire or Lancashire. While, therefore, giving all due credit to young men in towns like Oldham, he wished them, in return, to give due credit to others of more rustic habits. He might be allowed to add a word also for the country parsons, because he doubted whether townspeople did perfect justice to them. Speaking not merely of one village, he might say that, so far as he remembered, every parish within at least five miles of the one with which he had been connected, had its own night school, at which the minister attended, and was glad to teach the lads who came to be taught ; so it would be seen that these country parsons were really doing some good in their own quiet way. With regard to the attendance at such schools, it might be mentioned that he had 35 scholars out of a population of 370, and he thought not more than one out of the whole number missed getting one of the prizes he offered to all who attended upon 40 out of the 48 nights of the session. It would thus be seen that there was a desire, even in the bosom of the agricultural labourer, to learn something that might be both useful and ornamental to him in after life. He had observed that most of the prizes now awarded were for rather abstruse subjeots, connected in general with the daily avocations of the competitors. Students in such a locality were perfectly right to place these studies in the front rank ; but, nevertheless, he did not think Almighty God had sent any one of us into this world to be a mere drudge all his life long. Life was meant to be sweet and cheerful, as well as useful and laborious ; therefore, he would have been still more glad had he been called upon to present a greater number of prizes indicating a cultivation of a taste for pure, refilling, improving literature. He did also wish that we in Eng land had more places generally open to the masses of the people for healthy and innocent recreation. It was all very easy for well-to-do people, with comfort able houses, carpeted rooms, easy chairs, libraries, and newspapers, to say that they could not understand what took young fellows to public-houses or casinos. He could understand it without any difficulty at all. They went for amusement, which human nature prompted them to seek in some form outside, if it could not be got at home. Although human nature was by no means all one could wish it to be, yet he did not believe in the miserabie depressing doctrine often heard about our being so terribly bad. On the contrary, he believed that if an innocent and a vicious place of amusement were put side by side, nine out of ten young men who had been at all decently brought up would choose the innocent recreation. What must be regretted was that instruments and means of amuse ment which might be healthful and elevating, had got to be degraded, partly through being left in the hands of indifferent people, or through religious people shaking their heads, shrugging their shoulders, and saying, " Fie ! fie !" of wha' they ought rather to tr and improve. On the motion of Mr. J. T, Hibbert, M.P., seconded by Mr. W. Richardson, a vote of thanks was passed to the Bishop, shortly after which the proceedings con cluded. ENGLISH MERCHANTS IN CHINA. English merchants in China are somewhat dis satisfied with the position of affairs in the settle ments. At Hopg Kong a meeting of the Chamber o Commerce was held, at which the chairman spoke strongly about the Tien-tsin massacre and the mission of Chung How, and a report was adopted calling on the British Government to tape the lead in exacting new guarantees for the safety of foreigners in China. At Shanghae the Chamber of Commerce prepared a memorial to the committee of London merchants re pecting the mission. The merchants protest strongly aoainst the official reception of Chung How by any civilised Power, on the ground of his complicity in the atrocious massacre at Tien-tsin. He was the head of the executive, civil and military, at the spat, but withheld all protsction from the Europeans, though he had six hundred disciplined troops under his immediate command. There have been no more active demonstrations against foreigners, but it is thought the anti-foreign party are gaining ground. Prince Kung at Peking refused to receive Mr. Seward, and many foreigners in Peking anticipate war. Thirty thousand Chinese soldiers have been massed near the Taku forts, but these have Rot, it appears, been strengthened as much as was sup posed. In connection with the mission of Chung How to Europe, it is mentioned that he has been Superintendent of Trade for the Three Northern Ports ever since their opening to foreigners under the Convention of 1860.

We understand that February the 9th, not the 2nd, as has been stated, is the day upon which Parliament Will meet for the despatch of business. THE REPRESENTATION OF NEWRY. There •is no doubt (says the Observer) about Lord Newry's election for the borough of Newry, as the local Liberals have agreed not to oppose his return. As the proposed opposition was withdrawn on his lordship's promising that his Conservatism should be of a very liberal type, this election can hardly be regarded as Conservative triumph Mr. Charles Russell, who made show of contesting Newry with the son of its chief pro prietor, is a member of the English Bar, and a brother of the President of Maynooth. But neither he nor Mr. Whitworth could persuade any considerable portion of the constituency to give him their support, and the noble patron of the Globe Theatre has been left alone in the field. " Genius will work its way through," as the poet remarked when he saw a hole in the elbow of his coat. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales gave rather a novel entertainment at Sandringham House ori Friday evening, viz., a ball to a large number of tenan t farmers and their wives and daughters. The party num bered about 250, and there was dancing until an early hour on Saturday morning.. A sumptuous supper was served in the course of the night. ARMY REFORM.-A. correspondent of a contenl porary says : Some politicians speak confidently of lvl Cardwelt's measures as being likely to embrace a large scheme of gray reform, including the abolition of what rein Ons of the dual system of the Horse Guards and the War Office and the more efficient officering of the Militi a ' IVir. Cardwell, it is understood, is fully aware of the severe dandling which his department will meet with in the ensuing session, and is personally not indisposed t anticipate criticism. Whether Mr. Cardwell is prepaq ' to abolish purchase in the army is another question, ana am bound to say that his most ardent supporters do 1 164 attribute to him such a design.
