THE FRANCO-GERMAN WAR.

THREE FRENCH ARMIES DEFEATED.

The position of France never seemed so
desperate as at the present time. General
Chansy's army has been so severely beaten that
it cannot take the held again for some weeks.
General Bourbaki has been frustrated in his
attempt to relieve Be'fort, and is being pursued
by General Weeder ; and General Faidherbe
has been defeated at St. Quentin with signal
Ices. All the three armie, engaged in the
attempt to relieve Paris have, then, been beaten
back, and the capital must fall unless it can
effect its own salvation, and this is scarcely
poesible.

PRODUCE MARKET.

- --- - -- ---- -
The colonial produce markets this week have been active,
with transactions of fair extent, partly spesulative, and partly
from a good demand from the home trade to =set the large
consumption pang on. Navigation at many of the Continental
ports being again open, the exporters have rather increased
their operations. A few parcels of plantation Ceylon coffee in
the public sales went at an advance for colour) kinds, and the
importers generally are now indisposed to sell freely at current
' quotations. Several contracts have been made in native on
the spot and afloat, at. 'Diner prices. Costa Rica has been
bought with spirit, and two floating cargoes of St. Domingo
are reported, at full rates. The sugar-market does not quite
support the improvement of last week. On Friday the crystal-
lised Wert India by auction only partly found buyers, at titi to
is per cwt. under last Friday's. prices. Other sorts remain
unaltered. lianiFa and brown sugars are quiet. Refined has
also met with leas inquiry during the lent few days. Kies has
been realised to a fair extent, and in sumo instanoes at a
slight advance for soft grain descriptions, There have been
further arrivahl of tea, from which a good budniad hoe been
transacted. Common sorts are dull and rather cheaper ;
medium to good grades u'itain about former priers. At the
public sales Vona Tuesday to Thursday there was no or w
feature. Old season's red leaf Cdngou went flatly for the low
qualities. The next Indian tea salea will commence on the
2ith net. Speculative operations in pepper have caused
' another advance, the greatest recovery this week being open
' white. There is no change in c”ioa. Saltpetre has been
firm, with a stesdy Inquiry.

been lees animated, and though the bidding. were steady and
prices showed no quotable -hantre. wool w.ui yet ocaisionaily
to be bought on rather easier terms. To-night, however,
there Is again • largo attcn lance, very much spirit, and full
prices are paid for all descriptions.
During the last week prima of English wool have continued
to gam strength, an-I are now about &I to Id per It. above the

wards, awl we Cl Ii not be surprised to see a further advance

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
To the Editor of the Standard.

Sir,—A paragraph appeared in your paper which an-
nounced to the world that I and my bailiff had appeared
before the Dorchester bench of magistrates on the 29;h
of April to answer 53 sammonses for alleged starvation
of cattle and horses, and fined £5 each. These convic-
tions having been quashed, I expected you would have
published the result of the appeal. The facts are there.
Two summonses for starving cows were heard and dig.
missed with costs, and 32 other summonses for starving
cows broke down—that is they were withdraws. Two
summonses for starving horses were beard, and, as you
published, resulted in a fine of I:5 each, I was not
satisfied with these convictions, knowing we were not
guilty, and also knowing that the chairman of the
magistrates who heard the case (R. 0. F. Stewardßml.)
I
was a member of the society which prosecuted. con-
sequently appealed to the court of Quarter Sessions,
held on Wednesday last before Lard Portman and a
full bench. The number of counsel for the rcspondent
appeared to me to shoe an amount of animus not
usually expecte I from what is styled a humane society.
Mr. Sergeant Parry (specially retaiu ad), with whom
were Mr. Harris and Mr. Castle, appeared for the
Saciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. I
was represented by Mr. Collins, and my min by Mr.
Plonk
Boths. convprions were, at an early stage of the pro-
ceedings. quashed, with costs. M.% Sogestit Parry
applied for • case for the opinion of the Court of Q teen's
Bush, which was refused, and tho magistrates deulinod
to assist in the matter and to give their reasons for
(plashing the convictions.
I would not trouble tho press if it were an ordinary
case, but the number of summonses against me for
horses being more than the number of horsis I possessed,
clearly 'hews the amount of persecution to which I
have been subjected at the instance of a society under
stood to be established for a totally different object.—l

PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE.
To the Editor.

Slit, —ln the name of humanity I appeal to you to
use your utmost powers to cheek an evil which is sacri-
ficing the lives of our fellow creatures, and spreading
terror and distress amongst hundred of individuals. I
was,. traveller on Monday mornin,t from Weymouth to
Bridport, and amongst the passengers on to 11.iiden
Newton, was a young girl, about 13 or 14 years of ago,
covercd with small-pox. She was certainly not ill from
the disease, but just sufficiently recovered to bear the
journey. You may imagine the consternation caused
by the appearanee of this person amongst us. Only a
few months ago a person suffering from small-pox was
sent to Beaminster. The sister of this person nursed
her, caught the infection, and died. Other persons
died from the disease thus sent into the neighbourhood.
Let us only think how carefully the British Govern-
mint atudied to prevent the s?read of the cattle plague,
but a plague amongst human beings, the most odious
disease imaginable, is permitted to be spread amongst
us with impunity. Is there no law to stop railway
authorities conveying persons juit recovering from
such a disease? Surely human lives ought to be pro-
tected as much as the lives of cattle.
