WAR NOTES.

Fourteen young Frenchmen, who were
clerks at St. Petersburgh, have arrived at
Hull, en route for Paris, to join the French
army.

Two hundred thousand wooden legs have
been ordered by the Prussian Government
for the use of its soldiers!

The ordinary duties of the I3rading (Isle of
Wight) National School have been entirely
suspended, and the whole time of the
teachers and children is now devoted to the
manufacture of lint and bandages for the
wounded in the Franco-Prussian war.

A Paris journal states that thegunnersof the
Imperial navy, between 7,000 and 8,000 in
number, who are to work the siege ordnance
placed in the forts of Vincennes, the East
and St. Denis, have taken a solemn oath not
to let the enemy penetrate into the forts en-
trusted to their safe keeping so long as they
have a single man remaining able to fire a
gun.

An appeal has just been published to all
inhabitants of Paris who arc accustomed to
take out shooting licenses, and who from any
cause do not form any part of the National or
Mobile Guards, to unite in a corps of Puisian
Chasseurs, to defend the walls with fowling
pieces, rifles, or revolvers. The Governor of
Paris has approved of the idea.

By the law of ‘var every man in a besieged
place is liable to military service. Germans,
in prospect of a siege, have been expelled
from Paris, and the English who have no
stomach for a fight had better depart without
waiting for an order from General Trochu.
If they remain they will do so at their own
risk, and if they are compelled to share the
toil and danger of the defence they will have
no grievance of which the British Govern-
ment can take note.—Law 7ournaZ
The Civilian is responsible for the fol-
lowing :—" Sixteen packages, containing a
portion of the plate of the Emperor Napoleon
were on Monday last deposited in the
Queen's Warehouse, Custom House. The
plate was valued at £B,OOO by the agent,
who is desirous that the packages should be
retained unopened by the Customs authorities
for a term of three months."

The harvest in this country is finishing up In •
very satisfactory in vnner in all the lat.« ibotrietr, and
the 0. in souk, instances Is turning out beyond taw
previqua salculatlon.

Through the weather that has been expe-
rienced in the nortli.esst of Europe. the harvest has
been mod) retarded. In nearly all other psrts to
re-ult is altogether different. Hungary appears to be
moat W..nal'y ; Cu. it is e4iated that the ion.
duo.. of that country will fall very far short of 531
willion loishel. of wheat, and 2$ milluona of one, or
• total of 82 mullion hushels of breadstuff'. which,
aft, r deduct'', _; 71) million for consumption. will allow
a surplus if 12 millions for exportation. The markots

The c .uhtry market, Lave been, with some excep-

price', in llark.l.ane continuing, buyers have acted
cauttowly. altheug'i able to make purchases cony at
reouced rates. The barley 61•1400 can hardly be said to
bare commenced yet, MO that prices rutpt bo considered
much in the same ',coition as last week. Oats hare

STOCK EXCHANGE.

The news of the surrender of the Emperor
and entire army has thrown all Stock Markets
into a state of suspense pending the receipt
of intelligence as to the course the Paris
Government may be willing or able to adopt.
A general rebound has occurred in prices ;
but only to a very partial extent com-
pared with that which would be wit-
nessed if there were any certainty of the
suppression of anarchy in the capital, A

iotoxictting liquors and taking them to the Gospel of
Light. The rev, gentleman earnestly exhorted all
present to assist in reclaiming the drunkard from his
evil ways, by their individusl efforts, by their money,
by enrolliu.; theme dyes inetnbere of the Assadation, and
by praslng that the iocti-ty might meet with a trium-
phant success. A collection was made on behalf of the
smutty amounting to £1 17s. 84. The meeting of

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT THE ARTILLERY

BARRACKS.

On Weineaday morning the men of the E Battery
II Brigade 1: rLA., 0i re, in accordance with fee.
mental ord ra, undergoing an inspection of their kit
by sub-divisions, in the different wings of the barracks,
v,, the muster roll being called over, however, it was
found one was abAnt—Gunner J. Hughes ; the word
was passed, and • search at once instituted. Of course
the room of the ab.entee was one of the first plao"s
visited, and thither a party immediately repaired.
cullar-maker Sergeant M'Dowell was one of the first
in the room, and there found the rash soldier, razor in
hand, with his throat gashed in • manner awful to see.
while the ex ',cession of hi.faoe wee ghastly is the extreme.
The s..rg"aut rushed on the man, and wrested the razor
Iris hii hand, preventing any further attempt upon
his life. A weasenger was dispatched for the doctor,
and upon Dr. O'Brien'. arrival it was found that the
wound inflated on the soldier's throat was more serious
than those who found him imagined. lie was
removed to more suitable quarters where the
beat means were adopted to save his life, and he
was placed under supervision. The consternation
in the barracks when the deed became known was very
great, and various reasons were advanced for his riot.
None, however, seemed satisfactory,and the man him-
self refused or was incapable of explaining it. lie is •
single man, of good character of late, although it seems
he was .owe time since reduced to the ranks for breach
of discipline. Frequent visits were paid to him by more
than on" doctor, and it is feared that the neforturiate
men will not raover. This is the first act of the kind

ESCAPE OP COSIVICT.—About two o'clock this
(Mooday) morning, when the officers of the prison went
their roun di, a convict was missed from one of the
cells. It was Lurid that he had escaped through the
roof, made • rope with his blai•kcts and sheets, and
lowered himself down outside the back of the Prison.
The black flag was hoi•ded, and the coast.tuard
troops from the barracka marched out and formal line
on the Leach and in Portland towards the prison, in
order to prevent hit 0404pC foss the island. At ten
minutes past twelve the black fi ig was still flying, a
sign that the oonvict had not been retaken. Late in
the afternoon the convict had not been recaptured, and
it is now supprieel that he has got clear off, as he must
have had two bouts and • half start. It seems that
underheath the floor boards of the cells is • space for
ventilation, and th it the annalist managed to move •
part of the ffioriog about Mt. long by 20 inches wide.
He got through this and crept along till he arrived at
the srattng which close it from the outside. This he
managed to get out, and then he emerged into the open
air, near one of the warder's quarters, but
indde the prison wall. He had with him • long
lino made of his blankets and sheets torn
,up and knotted together, and to this he
fastened on to an iron hook which he had made.
This he threw on the top of the wall, and climbed up
by means of th knots in the line, till he stood on the
top of the will. Here be turned the hook, and began
to lower himself °lithe outdde ; but was too anxious
to descend all the distance, and dropped on
the ground. This fall was heard, and it in judged that
t took place, about twenty minutes past twelve. 'the
alarm was Riven to the sergeant of the guard, and the
chief warder, and the latter rang the prison hell, and
called the civil guard and warders together, and
sent to the barracks for troops. One of the
siva guard fired at something which he saw
moving in the dark, audit was judged that the copyist
was close at hand. It is probable, howevel, that he
made off immediately he got outside the wall, long
b.fore the preparations were made effectual to place •
coition across the beach. His name is James
Randall, and he is 24 yearn of age, and of
, sallow complazion, stands 5 feet 7i inches high,
was dreamed in convict dress, with a tutted forage cap,

such as convict.' wear in hospital. He has • mark like

he had also a mark on the right thigh.

dreadfully beret about the farce ent bands. They wgre
taken into Mr. Atkinaon's house, when their wounds
were dressed by Mr. Ingram and blz. Spooner,
