d 1 on fences—not for profit, or even reproduc-
tion, but for simple preservation.
This is far from being necessary ; but there is •
surprising lack of information disclosed in much
that is talked and written just now about the cost
of cottage building, nor does the repetition of the
topic from year to year seem to lead to precision
of knowledge. The Society of Arts has re-
cently published a circular, which offers
prizes for plans for dwellings and appurtenances,
costing 1001., whereas there is no part of England
where such cottages could be built, of good quality,
and with such appurtenances, for less than 1301.,
and for so little only where the chief materials are
on the spot. This is a matter on which accurate
information may be obtained by any careful in-
quirer. It is easy to find out how cheap builders
squeeze out their profits, and what is the lowest
price of good conditions and sound work. In a
rocky region of England a substantial and well-con-
ditioned cottage of four rooms and a lean-to can be
built for 601., and will need no repairs for a gene-
ration to come ; but even there each a dwelling as
the Society of Arta proposes can no more be built
for 1001. than the Houses of Parliament could.
They do not intend to give their prizes for such
work as speculators in cheap town cottages get
done for 100/. ; and this being the case, it is merely
misleading to society generally, and country gen-
tlemen in particular, to pretend that so much can
be done for the money. No less mischievous is it to
assume that rural labourers can pay such rents as
we see proposed. Whatever rent is necessary to
return the ordinary interest of capital, after pay-
ing rates, tenants of every order will ultimately
have to pay ; and the peasant will then have, as
of course, such wages as will enable him to pay
that rent. This will be the ultimate solution of
the difficulty, beyond all question. What has to be
done first should be clearly understood. The peasant
class is already rising through the advancement 11
of the art by which they live. Those who cannot
improve will be on and off the rates fora time,
and then die out. The better sort will earn more
money, and command more comfort ; and, if their
employers are wise, the first comfort they will ob-
tain will be a decent and wholesome dwell-
ing,
for which they will be able by
(that time to pay, as rent, ordinary in-
terest on the capital invested, with somewhat over
for repairs. Where farm-servants get fifteen
shillings a week, they can and do pay i L • year
rent for a dwelling which is worth it. While such
an order of rural labourers is forming, the truest
economy of landlords is to be building cottages
which shall keep good men on their land; and
the best wisdom of tenant farmers will be to
stipulate with their landlords for this sound means
of purchase of a sufficiency of labour, and, if ne-
cessary, to invest some small portion of their own
capital in aid of the arrangement. As for the rest
of the citizens, they ought to see that the whole
power of the law, and the whole strength of the
sanitary authorities, are brought to bear against
such pest-holes and dens of iniquity as the Norfolk
labourers' dwellings, described by Mr. CLUILL
That such an abase and disgrace should exist in •
country where rural magnates speed their money
with a magnificence which makes strangers stare,
is one of the mysteries which will, we trust, not
exist for a future generation of squires to boggle

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

THE MONSTER BALLOON.
(ram OUR owl cosazsroinmer.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The instinctive apprehension of the Parisians
which I noticed yesterday, that the giant balloon
would not go far, is borne out by the event. All
the provisions for a four or five days' sojourn in
the air, the six hampers of wine, the printing press
for dropping down upon distant countries the
hourly accounts of its progress, the revolvers for
self-defence in case of landing in the dominions of
the King of Dahomey, were all laid in and accu-
mulated in vain. After a slow journey of four
hours, in which scarcely more than forty miles
were achieved, the balloon was compelled to de-
scend near Meaux. The whole party has already
returned to Paris, and M. Nader writes to the
papers the following account of his voyage :
Paris, Oct. 5.
Here, as briefly as possible, is the account which you
asked ms to send. Yesterday evening, at 9 o'clock, the
"Giant" was compelled to descend near the Barcy Marsh,
two leagues from Meaux, after three violent shocks, the hst
of which completely turned e►erything in the car tom-
luny, and it desoended on its side The rupture of our
safety pipe rope while travelling by night forced us to throw
out our anchors. One of the prongs of the first anchor
having broken, the pristinel anchor fortunately took hold
of the ground. We were able to let out the gas, notwith-
standing the violence of the 'dad, and the ear was set up at
half-past lin the morning. Some slight oontus:ons and •
contusion of the knee of one of the passengers—that is our
receipt in full. It is not too dear.

The balloon was evidently overloaded. At the
last moment K de Villemessant, of the Figaro,
who had taken his place to go up, was Toted oat,
as being the heaviest man, and, much pro'esting,
he left his place amidst great laughter. Madame
Nader did not ascend. It is announced that a
second ascension will be made from the Champs
de Maze on Sunday, OctoberlB, and it is hoped
with better luck.
Galignani says :—" The Princess de la Tour
d'Auvergne was taking her usual drive to
the Bois de Boulogne when, observing an
unusual movement in the neighbourhood of the
Invalides, and having inquired the cause, she
ordered her coachman to drive to the Champ de
Mars. Having seen the balloon she expressed •'
wish to make the ascent, and, although M. Nader bad
to the last moment refused to take any lady, and
even his own wife, he could not resist the entreaty
of the princess."
The Pays contradicts in even more explicit terms
than it has been using every day for the last week
the assertion that French diplomacy is at this
moment actively engaged in negotiations about the
Polish question. It says that from the beginning
France did not allow the other two powers to
" remain in ignorance" of her readiness to give a
sanction by acts to diplomatic communications ;
but that England and Austria do not seem disposed
to go as far as France would wish to do. Under
these circumstances "France has evidently nothing
new to do, and nothing to propose." She has only
to wait till the other two powers think fit
to communicate their ideas and make some
proposition to her. That is the direction in which
the public must look if it wants fresh news. As
to Austria the Pays can see not the smallest indi-
cation of any new element in the question. With
regard to England Lord Russell's speech at Blair-
' gowrie was doubtless important. "It seems to
' imply a proposal on the part of England."
France cannot but approve of the English minis•
terns declaration concerning the treaties of 1815,
but "it is for England now to give this declare,-
tion an official value and a sanction. She may be
' quite sure that if she decides for action Frame
' will be found ready." Yon will probably agree
-with me that the peevish, ironical, provoking tone
' of this article contrasts strangely with the assertion
r of the same Pays, only four or five days old, that
r the "moat perfect understanding continued to
prevail between the three powers."

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

The Grand Duchy of Posen continiie;siol;e the
seems of arrests, imprisonments, and confiscations.
As in Russian Poland, it is the intelligent and
wealthy classes that suffer the most, as constituting
in themselves the life and soul of the Polish element,
which Prussia is as eager to destroy as her savage
neighbour. The most recent arrests have been those
of K Dubrewaki, a member of the last Chamber of
Deputies • K Ilowiecki, a landowner; and Count
Victor filzadrski. The latter, who has completely
lost the use of his legs for fifteen years from a stroke
of paralysis, was carried by the soldiery from the
station to the cab, and from the cab to the prison
at Berlin, much to the indignation of the inhabi-
tants, who at length became so vehement in their
expressions of disgust, that the authorities
have thought it prudent to send him back
to his estate. As for the rest of the gen-
tlemen who have been imprisoned since the insur-
r Jetion began, no preparatiou whatever is made for
their trial, the most eminent of the Prussian jurists
having declared that they are innocent of any crime
that is punishable by the Prussian law ; but they
are still detained in prison because they are in the
way of the government in the two chief aims of its
policy—the enslavement of the Prussian people and
the Germanisation of the Poles. The first of these

aims would, of course, have found strenuous oppo-
nents in the Polish gentlemen who, had they been
free, would have been elected deputies of
the Chamber • and the latter is being ra-

the Spotswood-road towards the Cattle-market they met two
pitmen, one of them carrying & bandbox sod some parcels.
Luckey, without any provocation, knocked the bandbox
out of the hand of the pitinsa, and it would seem that
he and his companions were lodised to ill-use him. when
his companion stepped up, and a fight ensued. It is not
certain whether Lnskey or the pitman was knocked down ;
one was, and upon his getting up soils Luckey was dota-

to a chemist's shop. kept by Mr. Jobsoa, and was attended
by Dr. Ellis, who lives close by. The deceased had hem
