TOE FREEDOM" OF TOE PIIESS Ile RUSSIA I
The peers in Russia, with all the freedom of late years
granted to it, is still not very free. The Moscow Ex-
change Gazette has just received a "warning 'for what
in England would be looked upon as the most harmless
banter. It has presumed to chaff the Guards. Indeed,
to quote the accusation on which the "warning" is
based, it "has described their mode of life in a satirical
and scornful manner, concluding by asking to be told
the meaning of their existence." It is explained to
the offender that this sort of thing tends to bring the
Rusaian army into contempt (which WEN pooaibly the
satirist's intention—at leant an regards a portion
thereof), and that it cannot be tolerated. Accordiegly
Warning No. lis adminisiered. Warning No. 2, an in
Imperial France, in ci,ndemnation to death, though the
, Government mayor may not carry out the sentence.
A. Tann MOTHER.—Wben rl Ferrers had been
convicted of murder great efforta were made to obtain
a pardon, on the ground that be warn insane. His
mother being applied to, and requested to write a
strong letter on the eubj.et, answered, "Well, but if I
do, how am I to ruirry oti my daughters?"
THE STRANGE FATALVIY TO MR. VALLASLIO-
II.IM—Mr. Vallandigham, thewi ll•known Democratic
leader, seems to have met his death by a pistol shot
accidentally fired by himself. The circumstance under
which the accident happened, as related in the New
York papers of the rth, are extremely peculiar. Mr.
Vallandigham was engaged as counsel for the defence
of a man named ISlVrehan, who wan charged with
murder by shooting. The murdered man had been
killed by a shot in the abdomen, and the defence set
up • theory that the occurrence was accidental, and
that the shot had been discharged from the man's own
r.• volver as he was drawing it out of his pocket. Mr.
Vallandigham's colleague in the defence expressed
some doubt when they were alone an to the acceptant •
of this theory, whereupon the deceased said "lii show
you in a minute." There were two pistols on the table,
one of them unloaded. Mr. Vallandigham put one
of these weapons into his pocket, and withdrew
it hastily, with the muzzle turned towards his body.
At that exact moment one of the chambers was dia-
charged, the trigger having caught in Mr. Vallandig-
hatn's clothing, and he fell to the ground. The
unf irtunste advocate had demonstrated the reasonable-
ness of his theory, but at the cost of his life; for the
pistol which be had takea up was the loaded one and
the ball caused his death a low bolus afterwards:

TEI6 HUASOREI WAR.—A traveller who he
lately viaited the battlefields of Worth and Gravelotte
writes to us (Poll Mal ()rosette) to say that in hi,
opinion the carnage on those eouisione has been much
underrated in !Ragland, and perhaps intentionally mis-
represented in Cermanc. Toe field of Gravelotta
occupies from five to ale toglish miles in length. The
tombs, or rather trenches, are scattered eve? all Ulla
extent; perhaps fifty in one grave mar be a fair estimate.
In one, however, immediately facing the Prench right
wing at St. Privet. there are interred 2,500 corpse,
and of these only 25 l'rench. Multiply. 2,500 by 10
and one may arrive at an approximately correct
account of the German dead at Gravel, Ito alone. The
atatietios are from Prussian authority, or rather from
inforuietion given by Prussian soldiers ia charge of
the graves. Possibly, says our correepundent, a
quarter of a million lives oa all sides from sword,
oinease, and 'flail/WI causes were sacrificed in the late

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT TO ToCAE VIOL-
DUET.— Dr. Lankester has held an inquest in the
Gray's-inn.road, London, on the burly of a child aged
five years, the son of • clerk named Gregory. The
deceased and two younger children, twins, were bitting
in infant cliaLti on a table in front of an open window
on the first fluor playing with a cork with some wire
attached. They began to quarrel about the cork, and
their mother threw it out of the window. The children
looked out of window to see what had become of their
plaything, and leaned over a wooden guard, planed
about eleven inches from the window.silL This being
imperfectly fattened, gave way, and the eldest child
fell out draggiug the others with him. He fell into
the area had foremost and was killed immediately.
One of the younger children, a girl, fell on her brother's
body and escapet with some severe bruises. The fall
of the third child was ch,aked by the railing and be
fell down by the front door and Was severely injured,
, lie was taken in the hospital in a dangerous condition.
I The wooden guard, it was stated, bed been removed
,1 by some workmen who were doiug some repairs to
the house, and the mother replaced it herself, but, as it
proved, insecurely. The jury returned • verdict of
acciden'al death.

THE EXTRADITION Or FUGITIVE COMMUNISM—
" Active revelations," says the Paris Joann!, "are
eiiing on between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and
Mr. Washburne, relative to the extradition of the
Commuoists who may succeed in landing in the
Uaitad States. The Americans are not less iensitive
than the English ou the delicate point of surrendering
fugitives, but we learn on goad authority that the
miuiater for the great Republic is the more diAposed
to emTort at Washington the just demands of French
diplomacy in the present case, that he is cure of being
seconded by the almost entire preaa of his country, the
atrocities of the Commune having excited on both
s rise of the Acantio as elsewhere, the horror and in.
dignation of all honest men."

THE CROWN PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF GERMANY.
—We (times) understand that their Imperial and
Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of
Germany will shortly arrive in Ragland on a visit to
Her Majesty the Queen at Oeborne. Previously their
Imperial and Royal Hi4lineases will spend some time
in London, where they will be the guests of the German
Ambassaior and the Countess Bernstoiff. It is ex.
pact,cl that the Crown Prince and Princess will arrive
on the fish at Prussia House.
AN ACCUSATION INDEED !—The Germans often
make it &point of accusation against us (says the Pall
Mall Gaulle') that we copy their inventions and give
them out as our own. These is hardly a thing that we
can invent which they do not in the first instance
ascribe to German genius; we gain the credit for it by
fathering it with a greater spirit of enterprise and
liberality of purse. The Magazin for Literalar des
Aetalancka applies the same charge to the science of
tobseco smoking. Not that we are supposed to claim
historical precedence as smokers, but, according to the
magsz,ne, we have been the first to smoke scientifically.
Germane smoke without method or artistic object; they
make their mouth a chimney which must be putting
night and day; the more tobacco they consume
the better. And as for their meerechaums, they might
as well be made of brick clay, so roughly are they
handled. English smokers smoke little, but with far
more gusto; they treat their meer.chaums as they
would a child, eagerly watching the progress of colour•
ing and carefully keeping them from harm. Our
superiority the journal ascribes partly to female
influence, which still makes a pipe or cigar a com-
paratively rare indulgence, and to the higher price
of tobacco in our country.

CA PITAL forefend that we should pie-
jadge the great case. But we must have our peke.

A REVOLVING SAFF. —A nringst the articles
exhibited in the industrial department of the Channel
Islands Exhibition is a novelty in the shape of a re-
volving safe, for which the exhibitor claims the usual
requisites of thorough security against thieves and tire.
treastea an other safes, this is made in a citcular shape,
and when locked and placed to position, either against
a wail or built into it, the door is turned to the wall,
the back facing the spectator. To open the safe, a lock
is opened in • strong iron box on which the safe rests.
This revolves a spring, which enables the operator, by
means of a small hand.key, to bring round the door of
the safe to the front, and whilst the safe is revolving,
the machinery causes a bell to ring a loud alarm. The
door being opened by means of a key, &Luther door
presents itself, which is opened by latimi shoved round
to the back of the safe. The interior is then exposed
to view; fitted with a number of drawers ingeniously
constructed for adaptation to the shape of the safe.
The invention has been much admired, and favourably
considered.

BALD SPEAKERS.— (From The lion. Grantley
Berk& y's Life and Recollectione.). —The two represen.
tatives of constituencies who were the worst sneakers
I ever heard when sober, were the late Sir William
Guise, Gloncestershire. and Co!onel Webb,
the member for the city. The former, in an after.
dinner speech, expressed his satisfaction at having his
health proposed "by to respeetablg an individual"
as his 11,yal Highness the Lake of Gloucester; and
the latter in a low pothouse, during his canvas, insured
I alfsanloz-n sweeps and tinken, that" his feelings over.
came him in baying the onerous responsibility of ad-
dressing so respectable an assembly." The assembly
grinned, and one of them stied, "Walker."

IN COUNTY GALWAY.— A enamors
and plaint for assault and slander, on behalf of the
Rev. the Dean of Team, was served on the Rev. E.
Tflolllal, RC C., at Tuam, on Wednesday in last
week. By Tuesday morning's post the appended
Loticte reached the very rev. prosecutor, and has been
placed by him in the hands of the authorities:—" Rev.
Sir,—Please give over the lawsuit with that learned
gentleman, Rev. E. Thomas, P.?,; or if not, Captain
Mr. Moonlight shall pay you a vistt. No more at
present from your obedient • Rory.'" The document
was furnished with the ingg " m emblems of a coffin
and pistol, with the motto—" Your c ,ffin if you do."
MEN &CON'S EXTINCT !—The census re-
turns establish the fact that the surplus in the female
population of these islands is on the increase. Can it
be (enquires the Pall Mall Carette,) that the vexed
question respecting the position and prospects of
women is to be solved by the gradual extinction of
men? they are evidently dying out It is true that
the process seems likely to be gradual, which is
perhaps as well ;I ut the impending catastrophe should
have a softening influence on the language of the
advocates of women's rightr. The sturdy sex which
has hitherto ruthlessly mocopolized property, employ.
went, and tobacco, is doomed to extinction. In view
of their sad fate, the severity with which their faults
and follies are now visited should be tempered with
tnat sentimental tenderness with which we view the
gradual disappearance of old institutions, however
troublesome. It will no longer be generous to make
any reply, even the most temperate, to the strictures in
the Saturday /Leiter on the sex which is in future to
be left alone in its glory, and which" will then have
ample opportunity to legislate, make war, and other-
wise recreate itself, when man has become a mere
memory of the past.
BuRN T TO DEATFI.—A CORONER'S I ECON.
MENDATI.N.— Ali inquest was held at the University
College Hospital, on the body of Catherine Hamilton,
aged three years, who expired from the effects of
setting her clothes on fire on the 27th ult. The house
surgeon of the University Hospital said it was the
worst case of burning that ever came under his notice.
The coroner strongly recommended (as he had done
before) a wire fireguard, which could be bought for
'doyenne. Every family ought to have one, and if
those benevolent persons who gave to the poor, would
include a wire guard in their presents, it might be toe
means of saving life to • great extent. Verdict—

THE iii:alll.DOK OF ABERDEE/r.—ln the petition
of the Eight Hon. John Campbell Gordon to have
himeelf served as heir to his brother the late Earl of
Aberdeen, Mr. BPLaren, Sheriff of Chancery at Edin-

STRAW-BOILER Exmoelone.—The Select Com-
mittee of the anee of Commons appointed to inquire
icto the canoe of stestmboiler explosions, and the beet
means of preventing them, have presented their report
to the House. The Committee state their belief that
the majority of explosions arise from negligence, either
as regards original construction or subsequent inatten-
tion. They do not recommend the adoption of any
systsm founded upon the theory of compulsory periodi-
cal inspection, because they hold that a great number
• I these explosions arise from causes independent of
and apart from anything that could be prevented by
periouical inspecsion, and they think it is doubtful
whether compulsory inspection would not lessen the
responsibility of the users. The Com mitts. recom mecd—
" That it be distinctly laid d srn by statute that al s team
user is responsible for the sfficlency of his boilers aril
machinery, and for emploj ing competent men to work
them. That in the event of explosion, the onus of
proof of efficiency should rest on the steam user. That
us order to raise prinid facie proof, it shall be suffioient
to show that the boiler was at the time of the explosion
under the management of the owner or user, or his
servant; and such p imt
,facie proof shall only be
rebutted by proof that the no silent arose from some
cause beyond the control of such owner or user; and
that it shall be no defence In an action by a servant
against such owner or used being his master, that the
damage arose from the stegligelloo of a toLkow-servallt•n

TIUL LANWJAWL Or FLOWP.RB !-It has lately
become the fashion for gardenere to apply the eases

effect. Thus we are told that John Bright (fuchsia) is

AITHAIFTED MURDEM--The attempted murder
of eeveral perhone took place ca Saturday evening in
the Rue des Feuillautines, Paris, About nine o'cloch
the reports of six allots from a revolver were heard in
eervant's room on the aixth etotey of the boom No.
68. The deknatbsul were followed by the noise of
breaking crockery-ware andknocking down furniture,
and at the same time a toilet table was thrown from
the window, but ;ell in the etreet without striking any-
one. On the neighbours going to the room, they font"
a man struggling with four persons, three of whom
were women. He waa secured, and then an explanatlon
could be (drained. The prieoner was a mason, who
appears to have been formerly intimate with a servant
oi the neighbourhood and who lodged in the room
She had eft Parisbefore the siege with her employer',
and recently returned, but refused to renew her former
acquaintance with him, On Saturday evening she had
juat dined in the room with her daughter, as well as
the sweetheart of the latter, acel two other women,
when the man entered and suddeuly fired at them, and
then commenced smaehing the furniture an abors
described. The daughter and the young man were
seriously hurt, and the former had to be removed to an
hospital; the two other women were merely gram-ti by
balls from the revolver. The man was handed over to
the pollee.

A TERRIBLE MURDER.—On Thursday evening
In last week at Newtonestewart, near Otnagh, county
Tyrone, Mr. Glass, cashier of the Northern Bank, a
young man 25 years of age, highly reapezted in the
locality, was discovered about four o'clock in the after.
noon lying behind his desk quite dead, and with ouch
marks of violence upon him as left no doubt that ht
fell by the band of an assaeein. The last curtomer
in the bank was observed to leave about three o'clock,
and nothing unusual was observed until about an hors
afterwards, when the servant, looking through the
window to see what o'clock it was, discovered Mn
Glass lying dead in a pool of blood. The back of hie
skull was fractured by come heavy instrument, and a
paper file was found stickinz into the brain, having
penetrated through the ear. This was probably owing
to his haying fallen on the file when he received the
deadly blow. There were ten wounds on 'be head, any
one of which would have killer; him. A sum of about
£1,500 is missing. A quantity of gold was left bet
hind, though the notes were taken,—The event recalls
the circumstanceo of the murder of Mr. Little. the
cashier of the Midland Railway, who was murder
in a similar way at his desk in his office at the Broad-
stone terminus in this city.

EFFECTS CS GINCIOPIT ON THE COEQOI`.3IOII.
The following is a description in the Vilkne“un2 u! the
effect of the late war on German industry :

'The war has not only interrupted work, hut hag destroyed
thousands of places of work. The tour million tinders which
IWO to be spent for the assistance of thole who have mitered
loss are sea drop on a hot stone, which, blaming, drops on to
it and in an instant digappears in smoke. Thousands of Mee

ture lessened, their rent Is still due, which has eczema-
lated for a year. New tools hare to he bought. which their
wives in time of diaress have either pawned or sold Mater
Gals have to be laid in stock to enable them, in csge
of an order being given, to begin work. Repairs mid
clothes are necessary. The bakers, butchers. and re-
tailers have got to be paid. If work is not begun at once
the cry of diatresa will soon bir distinctly heard as the
echo of rel dein,. ... All our small trades are founded
on the credit allowed them by the great dealers. They never
pay ready money but by a bill of eschan,,, which delays
the payment unul their goods are sold The diminished
titipplies of the war year hare increased the small bills to
enormous sums, as long as the owners of the business were
In the field the hills were prolonged When they return

TkilS -PROGREES op Trir. NrWCaSTLE STRIKES.--
The strike of the engiceers of Newcaetle-on-Tyne and
Gateshead continues without the least change in the
situation. There was a sort of general impreesion that
it might be terminated shortly after Newcastle races,
hut there is no appearance of anything of the kind.
The men seem to be getting teny small supplies of
money from other parts of the coentry, and little more
than between 2e. and 3m. a week per head is divided
among; tstewho want it. As )eh, however, few of
the men nave made application to the relief fund. Bat,
aa far as can be conjectured, if the masters can con-
tinue their present policy of holding entirely aloof from
the men for some time longer the latter, through the ex-
haustion of their means of living, will have to give in.
They are too large • bed, of men to be able to draught
off a sufficient number to other distncts to enable the
League to raise sufficient funds to afford those left
behind a decent maintenance.—The j 'Were' strike,
which has been going on for two or three months in
Newcastle and Gateshead, likewise continues. On
Friday another company of Belgian joinere were
brought to Newcastle by the masters from Antwerp.
They commenced work on Saturday.
HaBITUAL Coluism.e.—The Lord Chancellor's
Bill for the more effectual prevention of crime repeals
the Act of 1869, and substitutes more stringent clauses.
A licence-holder will be required to give notice to the
chief officer of police if the district whenever he
changee his residence, whether he goes into a new or
remains in the old police district; and every male
licence-holder must report himself to such chief officer
of police opce a month, personally or by letter, as tel
officer shall direct. A clause authorizes the photo-
graphing of all prisoners convicted of crime. A clause
provides that if a person is convicted on indictment of
a crime, and a previous C 001,10.1011 of a crime is proved
against him, the Court may direct that he be subject to
the supervision of the police for a period not exceedieg
seven years; he must then keep the police acquainted
with his place of residence, and, if a male, report him-
self every month as above stated. Assaults on the
police in the execution of their duty may be punished
by a penalty not exceeding £2O, or imprisonment not
exceeding nix months, with or without hard labour.
The Bill *lndian to England and Ireland, but net to
Scotland. It consists of 23 clauses.

c AMERICANS IN Corn.—New York papers
give an amount of the commencement of operations
j by Admiral Rodgers, commanding the United States'
fleet in the East. The expedition is described as under-
taken for the purpose of endeavouring to make a treaty
j with the Corean authorities for the protection of ship-
wrecked sailors of civilized rations, who when
pennants, cast upon the shores of the pen;ls, hare
been made elaves or murdered, or were otherwise ill-
tseted. It in stated that the expedition was &mow
polled by the ships of some other of the civiliz.d na-
tions upon the station, including a French and, it was
believed, an English and Prussian womb The
Navy Department at Washington received a deepatch
to the following effect from Admiral Roger's, dated at
Elven, Lland Corea, June 3, and sent from Shanghai :
" Our Minister and Corean Envoys exchanged pro-
tections of amicable intentions. The Comma made Ile
Older:COM to a survey of their waters. The Monoeney,
the Palos, and four steam launches, under Commander
Blake, were sent on the let of June to examine the
river Sable at a point called Difficult Passage, on the
French Chart Ne. 2,750, at • point where navigation
was most perdoue. Masked batteriee, manned by
I several thousand Cunene, were unmasked, and
' opened a heavy fire without warning upon our
people. The French ship, in advance, fought
