lIISCILLANILOUS TOPICS.

Sir E. Head, late governor-general of Canada, urges
through the columns of the Tines that a movement be set
on foot by which contributions in aid of the sufferers
by the great fire at Quebec may at once be
made available, and our conternporm) supports
the suggestion. The disaster has been so sudden
that it seems likely the local charity, and even
the organised aid of government, will be insufficient
to give prompt relief, end those who contribute would have
the pleasure of knowing that their benevolence would
tend to the national advantage by increasing the
goodwill which at present exists between the cook-
nista and the home government. In • few months
the province to which Quebec belongs will pro-
bably be a member of a great confederation, and it is to
be hoped that in course of time this confederation will I
take its place among the independent nations of the earth.
In these shared political circumstances acts of mutual
kindness will be remembered.
The Post gives its readers some account of the war which
is going on in South A 1116110., a war which in such regions
may go on indefinitely. What the ono side lacks in popu-
lation seems to be counterbalanced by superior organise.
tion and the good fortune of having to act on the defen-
sive. Even the most signal success on one side or the
other would be but a barren triumph.
The Times tells the ironworkers they must extend their
reign and issue their mandates over the whole continent
of Europe before they can destroy the competition of non-
union hands. They will have to try whether their writs
will run in France, Belgium, Prussia, and a few other
countries. If they do they will soon learn the difference
between a free country and one that talks of freedom.
They will find that a foreign government is too 1610 to
allow any laws except its own. Our mercantile marine is
bringing us every day articles ready for use. Trade,
always free as air, is once more flying from tyranny. It
sought refuge here centuries ago, and found • home. It
will as easily find a bona* elsewhere.
The Daily New suggests that Mr. Johnson, after all,
may yet admit 'he reel meaning of the popular verdict
against him. He has thrown away several chances, mimed
more than one tide in his affairs, but yet one more seems
to offer itself in the opportunity for full. free, candid oar
septum of the declared will of the nation. He may yet
redeem his administration from failure, and by cordially
renouncing the repudiated policy, and executink that on
which the people have resolved, may yet be the President

At the French opera, the evening before last,

arose behind the scenes. A light communicated to some

in a flame. She ran out in great alarm, but the firemen
had no difficulty in extinguishing the commencement of

:XPRESI

FROM PARIS.

•
THE REORGANISATION
Y. OF THE FRENCH
AR
••••:
(mom ova OWN ooßszarotrozscr.)

PARIS, TULSDAT Evlento.
The Moniteur of this morning contains a report
from Marshal Bandon to the Emperor, proposing
the names of the members of a commission to con-
sider the reorganisation of the army. This com-
mission, of which the Emperor reserves the presi
dency for himself, is "to examine what measures
must be adopted to place the national forces on a
footing which shall secure the defence of the terri-
tory and the political influenoe of France."
Six ministers (of whom two are marshals), aix
marshals, eight generals, the Intendant General,
Director of the Ministry of War, and the military
intendant of the Imperial Guard (who will sot as
secretary), are the persons named. The ministers
are M. Rouher and those of Finance and Marine,
and the President of the Council of State.
The report is not preceded as usual by any de-
tailed exposé of the reasons for calling the commis-
sion, and of the measures to be taken into considera-
tion. The object of this deviation from establshed
custom is to avoid a premature divulgation oi the
plans under consideration, which are likely to be
highly unpopular with the people, especially in the
rural districts. It is proposed to effect a large re-
duction in the standing army, which at present
amounts to 480,000 men of all arms. For the
future it will be only 250,000 men, but there will
be a large increase in the artillery and cavalry.
These 250,000 men will form the nucleus of the
army in time of war, and a reserve of 850,000 men
will permit of its being rapidly augmented to a
million on such a contingency. This reserve will
be exercised for three months every year, and its
organisation will be such that the whole can be
assembled with all its equipments complete within
London, England, 1866-10-31

a month.
This plan will excite great discontent by the
rural population, and it is on this account that a
commission has been formally appointed to decide
upon it, so as to shield the Emperor himself, in
some degree at least, from the unpopularity which
will follow its execution. Whether the annual
manoeuvres be held in spring or in autumn, as
at present is the case for the reserve, the farming
operations of the rural districts will be seriously
affected by the withdrawal of so many men from
field labour. There are already complaints of the
scarcity of agricultural labourers, and a com-
mission to inquire into the causes and remedies
for this is at present sitting. The system now in
contemplation will aggravate the state of things
which led to the inquiry now being pursued. One
observes therefore with astonishment that neither
the Minister of the Interior nor the Minister of
Agriculture has a seat in the new commission for
the reorganisation of the army.
The Emperor was last night, as announced, at
the Italian Opera. He drove in from St. Cloud in
thirty-one minutes, which astonishes the Parisians
little accustomed to go such a pace. The representa-
tion was for the benefit of the sufferers by the in-
undation.
The Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne has taken
leave on his return to his post in London. M. de
Lavaletto, who has returned from his visit to
Perigord, starts for London this evening on a visit
to Count de Flahault, his uncle, who is said to be
unwell.
The Rentes have fallen to-day 15c. for cash and
20c. for account. The report published in the
Moniteur, if it did not produce a fall, at least
stopped the ascensional movement which seemed
probable yesterday. The Bourse hesitates, and it
is evident that speculators have at the present mo-
ment no fixed ideas. Italian, at 56fr. 30c. and 56fr•
40c., shows a depreciation of 60c. and 45c. There
is a fall on all kinds of securities. Credit Mobilier
is marked 623 fr. 75c.; Comptoir d'Esoompte,9l2fr.
50c. for cash and 915 fr. for account, and so on
all down the official list. Paris and Lyons, which
rose so rapidly last week, fell to-day Bfr. 75c. for
cash and 6fr. 25c. for account, closing at 922 fr. 50c.
and 926 fr. 25c. The real feeling of the market
regarding the projected changes in the army will
only be manifested after the liquidation on Friday.
Thursday being All Sainte-day, there will be no
Bourse.

FOUNDERING

THE STEAMSHIP LONDON

LOSS OF 270 LIVES.

(11ZUTZleti

PLYMOUTH, JA V. 16, Evairrra,

Messrs. Money Wigram and Sone' steamship
London, Captain Martin, from London for Mel-
bourne, has foundered at sea with about 270 souls
on board. The survivors, 16 of the crew and 3
passengers, were landed at Falmouth to-day by the
Italian barque Marianople.
The chief officer among them, Mr. John Green-
hill, the engineer, reports as follows :—" We
left Plymouth on January 6. On the 7th we
experienced heavy weather with rain. Bth, the
same. 9th, lost gibboom and foretopmaat, top-
gallantmast, and royal mast. About 9 a.m. we
lost the port life boat, a heavy gale prevailing at
the time. On the 10th, at 3 a.m., the ship put
about, intending to run back to Plymouth. About
the same time the starboard lifeboat was washed
overboard by a heavy sea, which also stove the
starboard cutter. At noon, lat. 46.8 N., long.
0.87 W., we were shipping heavy seas, which car-
ried away the engine-room hatch, the water going
down and putting the fires out. The passengers
were bailing the water out of the ship with buckets.
On the 11th the gale was still increasing, with
heavy cross seas nearly all coming over the ship.
During the morning all who could were trying to
stop the leak in the engine-room hatch, but to no
purpose. Abut 4 a.m, four of the stern poste were
stove in. Efforts were made to stop them, but it
was found to be impossible. At 10 a.m. lowered
the starboard piunace, which foundered. At 1 p.m.
we could see the ship was gradually sinking, it being
then as low in the water as the main chain. At 2
p.m. the following persons left in the port
cutter :—D. G. Wain, John Munro, and J. E.
Wilson, passengers ; John Greenhill, engineer ;
John Jones, 2nd engineer ; John Armour, 3rd en-
gineer ; Thomas Brown, fireman ; W. M. Edwards,
midshipman ; D. T. Smith, boatswain's mate ;
William Daniels, quartermaster ; John King, Ben-
jamin Shield, Richard Lewis, James Gough, Ed-
ward Quin, able seamen ; William Crimes, ordinary
seaman ; A. G. White, boatswain's boy ; William
Hart, carpenter's mate ; and Edward Gardner, 2nd
class steward. About five minutes after leaving
the vessel we saw her go down stern foremost, with
about 270 persons on board, all of whom are
supposed to have perished. There were two
other boats getting ready when we left, but they
were too late. The above-named persons who
were saved were picked up by the Marianople, and
treated with the greatest kindness by her captain,
Carasa.

THE PRICE OF MEAT.

The Timer comments on the remarkable fact shown by the
return from the Metropolitan Cattle Market yesterday, that
the plague which is paralysing the whole agricultural int.'
rest has no effect upon the supply of meat, and that though
the foreign importations are considerably less than last
year, the supply of home-bred cattle has innreued, and this
though the cattle plague is now destroying every week
double the number of animals requ'red for the consumption
of London. Yet our butchers' bills are increasing, even
while the wholesale price of prime beef is de-
cidedly lower than it was in 1865 and 1864, and mut-
ton is about the same price. What excuse can be offered
by the retail butchers but that the prices were raised in
a panic, and the butchers are not disposed to lower
them. It will be difficult to acquit them of deliberate impo-
sition if they continue the present charges. Clearly, we may
console ourselves, in any alterations it may be desirable
to make in the course of trade in meat, they have no claim
upon our consideration. It is to be hoped the government
will at last pluck up courage enough to compel cattle to be
slaughtered on the farms where they were reared or at
the porta where they are landed. There is no reason
why a resolution, recommended by every consideration,
should be delayed out of regard to a particular trade.

THE PRIISSIA'N CHAMBERS.

The procedure of the King of Prussia io settling for him-
self the number of soldiers to be maintained is, observes
the Daily News, very unconstitutional ; but for the sake of
an aggressive foreign policy the nation is ready to make
large sacrifices of freedom. On the position of the Prussian
government in the Elbe Duchies Count Bismarck and his
muter speak out with intelligible frankness. Various
princes have claimed the privilege of rating the poor
Sleseig-Holsteiners, and many pretensions are still in
debate ; bat the Kiog of Prussia takes the matter oat of
the hands of the jurists, and holding one of the Duchies
with an army, will insist that his claim shall be admitted.
It seems that nothing is wanting to the success of his
policy—but appearances are sometimes deceitful.
The strength of the position taken up by the Prussian
government is thought by the Post to consist in the fact
that the policy of a territorial aggnandiaement present"
something that is really tangible, and that the Prussians
are content to bear with domestic wrongs provided the
government will minister to the passion for acquisition.
They are playing a dangerous game in purposing to enter
upon the full enjoyment of parliamentary government
after they have compassed land and sea to enlarge their
borders. Other powers may stop them ; and given that
Prussia is permitted to satisfy her ambition, it is doubtful
whether the enlarged state would be a constitutional one.

The Hensld expects that the chamber will be got rid of
ea
soon as some passiooate debate or strong resolution
offers a pretext. The house will be asked for form's sake
to rote the requisite sums, but be given distinctly to under.
stand that the government does not care whether they
vote or refuse them. To the great bulk of the nation the
acquisition of Sles wig and Holstein is an object much
dearer than the displacement of Count von Ktemuck,'and
on this head the King speaks quite to the satis-
faction of his covetous subjects, effectually dispelling
the last hopes that may huger in the heart of the
Augustexburg pretender. Austria is not in a position to

BETHHAL.OREEN WORKHOUSE.

At the close of the evidence yesterday,
Mr. Farad! said, without particular reference to
Bethnal-green, that he believed many cases were sent to the
workhouse which ought to be treated at home. The
medical officer, by sending the case into the workhouse, was
relieved from the necessity of attending it at the house of
the poor person, and the relieving officer was also dispensed
from the obligation of looking after it. Both were relieved
of a certain amount of trouble, and therefore they sent the
case into the workhouse. He knew medical officers were
wont to say, "If you were to see the state of the houses in which
these sick poor were, you would not be surprised et our
sending them into the workhouse." But it should be recol-
lected that they were accustomed to these houses, and
when brought into the workhouse they had no place so go
to when they recovered, for their furniture and their habi-
tation was gone. Strange as it might seem, he believed it
would be cheaper to treat such cases at home than in the
workhouse, where a staff of nurses had to be maintained,
and other expenses had to be gone to ou their account.
His experience induced him to place no confidence in pauper
evidence, or in pauper officers.

Some Of the gusrilisns expressed their entire concnrrencb
in the observations of the Inspector.

WESTSIL'CSTER.

A middle-aged woman, fashionably attired, came to the
court and applied to the magistrate for a protection under.
Mr. Arnold—Yon wish for an order to protect your pro-
Pert, ?
Applicant—Both my property and my life.
Mr. Arnold—l cannot grant you an order for the protec-
tion of your life ; that must be protected by process of
another character altogether. The oraer I can make must
be for the protection of your property alone. Has your
husband deserted you?
Applicant—Yea.
Mr. Arnold—Where is he ?
Applicant—At home. now.
Mr. Arnold—Then I cannot grant you a protection order.
Applicant—But he has deserted me ; he loft me for ten
months.

Mr. Arnold—Yon should have applied here while he was
away.
- - _

Applicant—He came back unexpectedly. I intended to
have some. His return cannot prevent my having a pro-
tection order. I should think.

Mr. Arooki—As I understand the law, it does. Your
husband must be away from you at the time the order is
granted. You say that at present your husband is living
with you.
Applicant—Yes ; be has returned, and that is the greater
reason why I want protection. I am obliged to 8y from
home for my life.

Mr. Arnoli—That is entirely a different matter, sod calls
for that exercise of the law which protects the person.
What has he done to you?
Applicant—A mouth ago he knocked me about and
threatened my life.
Mr. Arnold—Why have you not complained sooner?
Applicant—He made me so ill that for some time I really
could not.

Mr. Arnold—Has he ill•nsed you since?
Applicant—Yes; last night.
Mr. Arnold—Did be beat you?
Applicant—Mutilated me—absolutely mutilated me, as I
can show. He kicked me and struck me violently on the
head. He threatened me fearfully.
Mr. Arnold—Do you want him punished for the assault,
or do you want him hold to bail to keep the pease towards
you
Applicant—l want protection from him. I dots% want
him with me. lam afraid of him. I have settled some
property on him.
Mr. Arnold—Do you apprehend from his threats and
conduct that be will do you grievous bodily harm?
Applicant—l apprehend murder.

TEE REFORM DEPUTIOnON TO EARL RUSSELL.

Tile A due tiser thinks the hearts of members on
both sides of the hones will leap with joy to hear from
Earl Russell's own lips that, is the event of his reform bill
being rejected by the house, the ministry will resign, instead
of dissolving parliament. A more powerful motive to mem-
bers to reject the ministerial measure of reform could not be
imagined. No dissolution if the bill be rejected ; a certain
dissolution, required by constitutional considerations, if the
measure be carried. With such alternatives before the
house it will indeed be passing strange if the measure be
not thrown out.

The Telegraph discards as babble the recent talk about a
201. franchise for counties and an 8/. franchise for boroughs.
Even with a 61. for boroughs we should miss one element
in a genuine extension ; for we know not where the artisan is
to end • 61. bons, in the metropolis, nor how the working
class of London is to be .effeutaally reached without some
qualification of the simpler suffrage, that would admit
lodgers or paat•holders of a tenement. The ideal Reform
Bill, however, would be that which all Liberals should unite
to pass, after full end frank discussion. Some approach to
this we may hope to obtain from the debates in parliament ;
but nothing would so surely defeat the purposes which re-
formers have in view es a dogged insistence upon minor
points. Meanwhile it is well to have from the lips of the
Liberal leader the decisive and final proclamation that the
government will introduce a Reform Bill, and stand or fall
by the result.
The Star has heard that the argumentative ability, the
eloquence, and at the same time the mederation of the
working men who waited yesterday upon Earl Itnasell were
such as might have dune credit to any body of practised
and edacatel debaters, and amply deserved the compliment
which was paid by the noble lord. Apart altogether from
considerations of immediate political interest, the Star
cannot help regardieg such an event as one full of the hap-
piest augury for the future of this country. It seems to
the Star quite certain that if the government only intro-
, duces a bill which really merits popular support—though
it may be but an instalment of political rights—its
triumpheut mamas CU be easy.

JAMAICA SUILIECTS.

Sharply and clearly defining the limits within which the
suspension of law is permissible, and coming with autho-
rity open to no cavil, the legal Opinion, observes the
Daily !Vial, procured by the Jamaica Committee, brings
a sense of relief to those who have watched the dreary
details from the colony with sickening heart. It will be
for Governor Eyre to prove, after this definition of
martial law, that real necessity compelled the transport
of Gordon to a proclaimed district, and th►t the
investigation of three subalterns was the nearest
approach to the administration of justice that was then
available. The broad principles laid down suffice to show
that the rules of law emphatically forbid a criminal to be
transferred to the locality in which his alleged offence was
committed, if there is no legal court which can try him,
but only a state of anarchy in which no judicial proceedings
can be had. Pointing out in what way it deals with
the question,—how far local legislation may have inter-
fered with the fundamental doctrines of English constitu-
tional law,—the Daily Next observes that this luminous
opinion will satisfy the public that the reign of arbitrary
will in any part of the possessions of England can endure
only while actual rebellion or war continues; that our
courts have power and precedent to enable them to repress
with firm hand whosoever would extend the violence of a
state of wit beyond the limits of most absolute necessity,
and to decree such punishment as shall stand for a new
warning of the inviolable sanctity of orr common rights of
freedom.
The Post finds it impossible to affirm from the detached
fragments of Mr. Cardwell's despatch to Governor Eyre,
whether the zeal of the colonial authorities did or did not
secure the approbation of the home government, but the
, fact that the despatch was not given to the Jamaica Legit.
lature in its entirety would seem to raise a presumption
that such was not the case. As to the statement of the
governor that the home authorities would not hesitate to
remodel the existing constitution, it would be interesting to
inquire at what time and under what circumstances this
intimation was given. If Mr. Eyre received these confiden-
tial instructions several months ago, it would tend to show
that the Colonial-office has for some time past been
made aware of the precarious tenure on which the white
population have held their lives and property in Jamaica ;
or, on the other hand, if the wishes of the home government
were only expressed on the receipt of intelligence of the
late disturbances, one is driven to the conclusion that a
panic must ►ave taken place in the Colonial-office simul-
taneously with that which is supposed to have seized upon
the colonists.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSIO\.HOUSE.

A well-dressed young woman who goo the name of Eliza
Smith, and stated that she was 19 years of age, was charged
before Mr. Alderman Stone (who sat for the Lord Mayor)
with picking the pocket of a matronly lady named Swabey,
of • purse containing 31. 113.. in gold, a quantity of silver
coins, • pair of gold earrings, and • laundre's's bill.
Mr. Thomas Beard, of Basinghall-street, appeared for
the prosecution.
The evidence of the prosecutrix went to show that on the
previous afternoon, about half-past 3 o'clock, she entered
an omnibus at the corner of Jewry-street, for the purpose
of proceeding to Tottenham-court-road, and took her seat
along side the prisoner whom she found in the vehicle. The
carriage went on as far as Beonett's clock in Cheapside,
when another female hailed the conductor, who stopped the
omnibus, and that female got out arid was followed by the
prisoner. The latter had scarcely stepped from the steps
of the vehicle when the prosecutrix missed her purse,
which with its contents was safe in her pocket three or
four minutes before. The prossentrix mentioned her loss
to the conductor, who followed the prisoner and brought
her back,and when charged with the robbery she exclaimed,
"Oh dear no, not me." The purse was, however, picked
up near the wheel of • cart standing by, and at once iden-
tified by the prosecutrix.
Miss Flemingston, a young lady, proved that she saw the
conductor stop the prisoner, who while passing the cart
threw the purse under it. Witness picked it up and
handed it to the prosecatrix.
John pitchman, the conductor of the omnibus, and
City Constable William Wheeler, to whom the prisoner was
given into custody. corroborated the evidence, the latter
adding that the prisoner gave her address as being at No.
5, Old Pie-street, Westminster, which turned out to be •
common lodging-house of the very lowest class. When
apprehended the prisoner stated that by occupation she was
a laundress, but when brought to the police station she
said she was of the class called " unfortunate." and lodged
anywhere she could. When searched the sum of Ba. 2d.
was found upon her.
Mr. Beard said that although the evidence in the present
case was complete, yet he must ask for • remand, on the
ground that the prisoner belonged to a regular gang of
thieves, who perpetrated these robberies in the omnibuses
plying in the metropolis.
Mr. Alderman Stone granted the application, and the
prisoner was remanded for • week.
