THE NEW LAW COURTS.

This is, indeed, an age of progress. The Commis-
sioner of Works is yet haggling about tenders for the
foundations of the law courts. These tenders were
to have been delivered on Thursday. About
twenty-five of the leading contractors of
London were applied to, but the conditions put
before them were found so ineqtritable that the
competitors unanimously agreed not to ten-
der till better terms were offered. " They
have solicited a conference with Mr. Ayrton
on these points, feeling every confidence that
he will be willing to listen to reason in the
matter." We hope he will, but we are
far from " feeling every confidence in his
readiness to listen to reason." The competitors will
do nothing unless better conditions be offered them,
and " so the matter remains for the present." And so
it is likely to remain. We know nothing as to the
justice of the competitors' objections, but we know
that many months, nay years, have passed since the
work ought to have commenced, and Mr. AY)ton is
now advanced to a difficulty about laying the founda-

tious. It will be a fine exercise for tho mathemati-
clam to calculate at what period in the twentieth
century this remarkable man, if his services are
spared to us, will be wrangling about the chimney-
vots.

BURNING OF A PETROLEUM VESSEL.

Mr. Redwood, the secretary to the Petroleum
Association, has made some explanations with respect
to the recent burning of a vessel laden with petro-
leum. In the interests of the petroleum trade, he
desires to state that the vessel destroyed was not
laden with petroleum such as is employed
for illuminating purposes, but with the
inflammable liquid distilled from crude petroleum,
and known as naptha. Considerable odium has been
attached to petroleum because people fail to discri-
minate between the harmless burning oil and the
dangerous spirit, or naptha. Refined petroleum
is a liquid which is at all times free from
danger, in proof of which assertion it may be stated
that although it is largely used, Captain Shaw has
only reported one fire to have been caused by it

during four years, while during the same period, as
many as 568 fires have been attributed to gas, and
809 to candles. Naptha, on the contrary, requires
to be used with great caution, for it evolves
a highly inflammable vapour when it is in
common temperatures, and the Petroleum Acts of
1862 and 1868 were passed chiefly for the purpose
of protecting the public against the dangers of its
unrestricted sale.

THE LATE ECLIPSE.

The following extract from a letter of a gentleman re-
siding in Malaga constitutes, a small contribution to the
history of the late eclipse :
" Malaga, Fonda de la Alameda, December 25, 1870.
"All this time 1 am not saying a word about the eclipse
which was quite the most awful and wonderful sight 1
ever saw. The gradual darkening and the lurid light, like
what comes before a storm, the mysterious rim of light
which surrounded that dark ball, and the bright shining
Venus, during the sun's obscurity, were strange
sights indeed to me. Then when the sun began to
emerge there was en extraordinary glare of light,
more like that of burning magnesium than any light that
ever shone on sea or shore. Altogether it was a sight to
haunt one ; so also was the demeanour of the crowd on
the Alameda just beneath my windows. I think I told
you that a great annual fair takes place there during the
week that precedes Christmas Day. It is as pretty,
merry, bustling a sight as anyone need wish to see. But
on this special occasion a dead silence fell upon all, and
lasted as long as the darkness lasted. As soon as that
began to decrease you could Then came clapping of hands
ear the crowd take breath
with a kind of sudden gasp.
and shouting, with an obvious sense of relief—relief to
find that the last day had not yet come."

JAVA.

BATAVIA, January 5.

It is reported that the authorities have discovered
a plot among Swiss soldiers of the Netherlands
Indian army to murder the Governor-General and
take possession of the Island. Fourteen men have
been arrested. The revolt was fixed for the 31st of
December,

THE SUN, LONDON, FRI

THE MONEY MARKET.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Business to-day was far from brisk, and prices are
generally a fraction lower than yesterday. Consols are
92 to 92/ far money, and 92 1-16 to 92 3-16 for the
accounts

In the Foreign market Turkish Five per Cents. and
Peruvian are lower; the former notwithstanding that
the dividend is announced. Italian are IT lower. The
French Scrip is i better.
The directors of the London Joint-Stock Bank have
resolved to declare, at the half-yearly general meeting, on
the 19th inst., the usual dividend of 12i per cent. per
annum, and, in addition, a bonus of Bs. 9d. per share,
being, together at the rate of 18 1-3 per cent. per annum.
A meeting-was held, by the direction of Vice-Chancellor
Malins, on Wednesday last, at Portsea, of the creditors
of the South Hampshire Bank, to obtain their sanction
to the official liquidator being at liberty to grant a full
discharge to each contributory who shall pay a further
call of £l2 10s. in respect of his shares, it being estimated
by the official liquidator, Mr. John Rail, that a call of
that amount will, with the unrealized assets, be sufficient
to pay the creditors the balance of principal and interest
remaining due. The meeting unanimously acceded to the
proposal, it being understood that the official liquidator
and solicitors will forego priority in respect of their costs
and expenses, and share rateably with the creditors in the
fund left for distributidn. 19s. in the pound has been
paid to all the creditors, while some have, under special
conditions, been paid in full.

The Manchestet• Examinel• states i—" At a meeting of
the creditors of Messrs. H. W. Harvey and Co., baize
and leather cloth manufacturers, Manchester, it was
resolved to liquidate the estate, and in the event of
its not realizing 10s. in the pound, besides expenses, the
debtor to pay up to that sum."
It has been intimated with regard to the late arrival
of several of the London and 'North-Western Com-
pany's trains, especially the fast ones, that the delays
have been occasioned by the precautionary measures
taken, during the intensity of the frost, for the safety of
the traffic, comprising a reduction in the speed of the
fast passenger trains, and more frequent stoppages for
the examination of the carriage wheels, &c.
The Turkish Government have notified that those
holders of the Bonds of the General Debt (5 per Cent.)
who intend to receive in Europe the current half-yearly
interest must signify the same at the agencies of the
Imperial Ottoman Bank in London or Paris, or its cor-
respondents in Frankfort and Amsterdam, between the
13th and 23rd inst.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

THE CONFEREFCE.
The Spectator inclines to think, judging by the indi-
cations which creep out, that the Conference will ulti-
mately, unless a French representative arrives, accept
a compromise, allowing boti Russia and Turkey to keep
a certain number of vessels in the Black Sea. " The
Austrian Government, as we noted last week, is be-
lieved to prefer that course ns preferable to a free
navip ation, which would enable France or England to
shut the mouths of the Danube." The difficulty is that
this arrangement would not relieve Russia from the
humiliation which the Black Sea clauses of the Paris
Treaty are thought to impose upon her. Liberty to
keep a certain number of slips in the sea, and perfect
freedom on its waters, are not the same thing. Russia
can now have two or three small war ships in the
Euxine, and if this number were increased the
principle would remain the same.
London, England, 1871-01-30

FRENCH FINANCES.

The commercial classes in France seem to look
with suspicion and displeasure on the independent
action of the Government of National Defence.
M. Michel Chevalier has attracted great attention by
his protest, in which he maintains that the
essence of Republicanism is that no tax,
general or local, shall be levied except by
representatives of the people freely elected, and
declares that the Government had no right to refuse
to convoke an Assembly on the pretext of foreign
occupation, as even an incomplete Parliament
would have better right to speak and act in the
name of France than a dozen men. In the provinces, the
statement (announced a short ti me back) that the Paris
Government was occupiel with a new loan of
£10,000,000 made to it by the Bank of France,
has occasioned great surprise, since it was not known -
the Government had previously borrowed from the
Bank. There is some confusion in bill legislation,
as the decrees of the Paris Government
and the Bordeaux Delegation, made on the
Bth and 12th of January respectively, do
not accord. The enactments of the Delegation
are not thought sufficiently liberal by the mercantile
community. A. French statesman has calculated
that the Government of National Defence has spent,
and is spending, from £400,000 to £480,000 per
day, and this, say the commercial classes, is too
large a sum to be disposed of by a few almost irre-
sponsible persons.
London, England, 1871-01-30

THE CAPITAL OF ITALY.

In Saturday's sitting of the Italian Senate the
members, by 04 votes against 39, passed the bill for
the transfer of the capital. The order of the day,
declaring that Florence had deserved well of the
country, was also passed.

In the Chamber of Deputies the debate on the
guarantees to be given to the Pope was continued.
In reply to the Opposition the Minister of Justice
pointed out that the Bill gave the Pope complete
independence.

THE CONFERENCE.

ONSTAN TINOPLE, January 23.

The Porte insists at the Conference on being re-
instated in its full Sovereign rights over the Dar-
danelles and the Bosphorus.
The Porte will not consent to any now inter-
national stipulation limiting these rights in favour
of any Power whatsoever.

BERLIN, January 28.

The French Government has sent to the Neutral
Courts a Note protesting against Count Bismarck's
detaining M. Favre at Paris, when he has received
an invitation to the Conference.

The Note also declares that the French Plenipoten-
tiary has been instructed to leave the Conference it
the right of the Provisional Government to represent
France is conteated.—Times.

THE BOMBARDMEN I' OF PARTS.

The special correspondent of the Daily News at the
'Headquarters of the Crown Prince of Saxony sends the
following by special despatch :

MARGENer, January 24

During last night, and to-day until four o'clock, the
bombardment of the St. Denis forts was conducted very lan-
guidly, the fog to-day being the' densest I have ever seen.
At four there sprung up a furious cannonade, which was
obviously not at all one-sided. lam told that the French
utilised the night and Liu, foggy Jqy to repair the damages
in the for+-: ; to bring into them heavier guns than they
had pre viui, ?y manned them with ; to throw out a field
artillery force backed by infantry and gunboats to threaten
Epinay and Ormeson ; and that they assumed the offen-
sive when the fog partly lifted at four o'clock p.m. Listen-
ing to it I thought I heard both mitrailleuse and infantry
fire, but the echoes are so deceptive, that I dare
not be sure. Beyond question there was a furious
two-handed cannonade, lasting for an hour and a half.
Now, at seven p.m., our guns have dropped back into the
usual night average. lam told that two artillery officers,
one a captain, were killed yesterday in a battery. I
hear that last night engineer patrols approached close
to the St. Denis glacis, and report great damage
done to the fortifications. It is said there was
ssen at least one practicable breach in the double crown-
work of Du Nord; but I cannot guarantee the accuracy
of this statement. There is an unauthenticated rumour
that the Saxons have ventured to occupy the summit of
Mont-Avron with batteries. In consequence of the de-
struction of the bridge on the railway between Toul and
Nancy, no letters or papers have reached us for two
days, and no doubt return communications are also re-
tarded.

MARGENCY, Jan. 26.

Orders have just reached here from Versilles for the
German batteries to cease firing after 12 to-night if the
French do the same, and not to renew until further orders
unless the French set the example.

THE RE-VICTUALLING OF PARTS.

The following notification has been issued from the
French Embassy :
"An Armistice having been signed, and the re-
victualling of Paris having been agreed on between
Count Bismarck and M. Jules Favre, all goods,
especially flour, corn, and coal, that the trade may have
in store to this effect, should be at once forwarded by the
fastest trains to Dieppe, where the French Government
have made arrangements, and are willing to buy the
same.

"No impediments of any kind will be put on the goods,
either on the part of the Prussian or of the French
authorities."

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.)
MR. GLADSTONE AND THE ALABAMA
CLAIMS.

In reply to a memorial from the Bristol Chamber of
Commerce, urging the settlement of the Alabama claims,
Mr. Gladstone on Saturday replied : "I beg to assure
you that for years past the Government has assented to
every allowable proceeding with a view to the settlement
of these claims. We continue to be in the same disposi-
tion, and cordially agree in the opinion that the long
unsettled state of this controversy is not to the advantage
or honour of either country."

THE LIMERICK ELECTION. - UNOPPOSED
RETURN OF MR. MONSELL.

The nomination for the county of Limerick, took place
on Saturday. Sir Vere de Vere proposed, and Arch,
deacon Crean seconded the nomination of Mr. Monsen,
and he was elected without opposition. The Postmaster-
General in returning thanks, alluded to the policy of the
Gladstone Ministry for the past two years. The Govern-
ment, he said recognised the right of Irishmen to have
their country governed according to their own ideas. They
had passed a Land Act, whose action was universally
acknowledged to be benefical. They had extended the com-
petitive system into all the branches of the public service.
The Education Bill for Ireland would also be satisfactory.
He warned the people not to be gulled by pseudo-
patriotism of a certain class. The professors of that new
creed had put on a green garb only to overthrow the present

LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1870.

THOSE crities who are disposed to deny that the
resistance of the Parisians has been heroic will admit
that it has proved unexpectedly obstinate. The
great siege is a creditable episode in French history,
and will live in the esteem of future ages when
many a victory has been forgotten. Of the
numerous prophecies which were so confidently uttered
when the investment began, the determination and
bravery of the French people have put all to shame,
save one. The British Philistinte was right when he
put the self-evident case that Paris must be starved
out unless assistance arrived; he was wrong in all
his other numerous predictions. He foresaw clearly
that the frivolous Parisians would bear no hardships;
and they have endured rations of half a pound of
bread and less than one ounce of meat a day, and

a weekly mortality five times as great as
the ordinary rate. The outsider was confident
that the Germans would soon take a fort

_ .
or two, and then all would be over. The besiegers
have taken nothing save the improvised battery on
Mont Avron. Then it was believed, and BISMARCK
shared this delusion, that civil dissensions would soon
open the gates. There was but one popular tumult
before the probability of surrender became evident,
and that one difficulty was shortlived mid bloodleSs.
" But a few shells amongst the Parisians will make
all the difference." Hundreds of shells have fallenin
the city, and men, women, and children were killed,
but not the slightest moral effect followed. The
defeat of the Paris armies, the defeat of the
provincial armies, did not crush the spirit of the
people. Against famine there is no resistance.
But for famine the Germans might have remained
befell) the city until January, 1872.
When the difficulties which have attended this
nineteen weeks' resistance be fairly considered, the
impartial observer will allot a high degree of praise
to the achievement. The task .of accumulating
the requisite stack of provisions for two millions of
People was so gigantic that the actual success of the
Ministry in this respect was never suspected
by the German leaders. The end of November
was the time they fixed for the exhaustion of the
food store, and. bitter was the disappointment at
Versailles when TnoCHU did not surrender alter the
battles around Orleans. The fortifications were weak
and ill-armed last September. the strength they
now possess has been gained during the interval.
From the German official accounts it appears that an
attack by storm would have taken place at the com-
.Meneement-of the siege, but for the apprehension of
a niurderOuS‘street fight._ Last September the forts
existed, but eVery thing needful to make them

THE CAMPAIGN IN THE EAST.

A telegram from the German headquarters says :
General Kettler, on the 23rd instant, advanced in
the direction of Dijon, when he captured five officers
and 150 men. The colour-bearer of the 2nd Bat-
talion of the 61st Prussian Regiment was shot in a
night engagement in a wood, and the colour disap-
peared. Between Chatillon and Monterna detach-
ments of the enemy have been seen.

Vice - President Colfax and Secretary Fish. Mr.
Beecher, in the course of his speech, said they
wanted Europe to understand that when called
upon to speak, Americans were always on
the side of liberty in religion and politics.
Begolutions were passed congratulating the
Italians on the success of their efforts to obtain
Constitutional Government, and declaring that the
temporal sovereignty of the Popes over Abe Roman
people was the growth of the feudal ages, and that
Ireligious liberty was absolutely essential to political
liberty. Before the meeting broke up the Chair-
man announced, amid enthusiastic applause, that he
had just sent a despatch to the King of Italy at Flo-
rence: "More than ten thousand American citizens
are celebrating the union of Rome with Italy, and
Isend congratulations."

Loss OF AN AMERICAN SHIP.
The American papers tell a story of the steamer
Saguinaw, which was wrecked on Ocean Island last
October. This place is about a thousand miles from
the Sandwich Islands. All hands were got on shore

and a considerable amount of provisions landed. A
boat was sent to Honolulu to obtain assistance. It left
Ocean Island on the 18th of November. The crew

experienced the greatest sufferings from sick-
ness and want of fire and fool.. They
sighted laud on the 18th of December, but
on attempting to enter Danalai the boat capsized;
of the five who formed the boat's crew three were
drowned, and one went mad and died shortly after-
wards. Halford, the only survivor, got on shore at
Kahili, five miles to the east of Hanalai, where the
boat capsized. He proceeded to Honolulu on board
a schooner and related tha circumstances
of the shipwreck to the United States'
Minister, who dispatched a schooner with pro-
visions to Ocean Island. The Government at
his request sent off a steamer also with ample
supplies for the shipwrecked crew. There are ninety
persons on Ocean Island, but it was hoped they
would survive until assistance reached them, if
they used great care in dealing out their provisions,
and were able tu catch fish in any great quantities.

AUSTRIA AND ROME.

Catholic residents in Rome are confident that the
Roman question has entered upon a new phase, and
that Italy will be one of the first countries to feel the
influence of the counter revolution, as they call it.
The programme they trace is, first the Republic
and a period of terrible anarchy, and thee
nive the
the
restoration of the Pope. They do not g
Italian Kingdom two years longer. These views
are considerably encouraged by a change in the
attitude of Austria, caused, it is said, partly by the
violent agitation of the Catholic populations of
Austria and the Tyrol. The Court of Vienna
has absolutely refused to sell the Palazzo
di Venezia for the Senate at Rome as was desired.
Austria alleges that she does not and cannot officially
recognise the occupation of Rome until bhe knows
what guarantees have been given to the Pope. The
Empress Elizabeth is said to have taken prominent
part in the matter, and has suspended all the Court
fetes for the Carnival, declaring to those around her
that during the captivity of the Pope the Imperial
Court was unable to rejoice. The movement is
strongly supported by the Catholics of Bavaria and
Rhenish Prussia.

ITALIAN UNITY IN AMERICA.

The Americans have been holding a great festival
in honour of Italian Unity, at which many of their

and addresses were delivered by Horace
Greeley, Rev. H. W. Beecher, Cullen Bryant,
and others. Letters of adhesion were read from

THE LIMERICK FARMERS' CLUB.

A numerously-attended meeting of the Limerick Far-
mers' Club was held on Saturday afternoon, in their club-
room, Limerick. The circular notifying the meeting
stated that the same was called to consider important
resolutions on the state 'of Ireland, on the eve of the
meeting of Parliament. Five resolutions were then put
to the meeting and carried unanimously. Two of these
had reference to the late Laud Bill, which as a remedial
measure was spoken of in the most condemnatory manner.
Another referred to voting by ballot, which was declared
the only mode to be adopted in the conduct of elections in
their integrity. The last was in reference to the home
government, which resolution was most emphatic in
declaring that no matter what advantage would be derived
from an English Parliament, it would not be acceptable
to the Irish people.

FRENCH PROTEST AGAINST THE
BOMBARDMENT.
PARIS, January 10.

The following protest against the bombardment of Paris
was yesterday addressed by the Provisional Government
of France to the representatives of foreign Powers :---
" Prussian shells appear to have been wantonly
launched against hospitals, ambulances, churches, schools,
and prisons, making numerous innocent females and
children their victims.

"No means had been afforded them to provide for this
unexpected aggravation of suffering.
"The exigencies of war can never be an excuse for
the shelling of private dwellings, the massacre of
peaceful citizens, and the destruction of refuges and
hospitals.
" Suffering and weakness always find mercy at the hands
of force ; if force is not disarmed by them it is dis-
honoured. The besieger is bound to announce before-
hand his intention to bombard, in order to give time for
non-combatants, women, and children to be removed.
There was no necessity for a bombardment without
previous notice. The military action now taken is a
calmly premeditated destruction, and is being systemati-
cally carried out with no other end than to inspire
the civil population with terror by means of arson and
murder.

" The Government of the National Defence protests
loudly in face of the whole world against this useless act of
barbarism, and heartily shares the indignant sentiments
of the inhabitants, who far from being depressed by this
violence, derive strength from it to repel 'the disgrace of
foreign invasion.''—Reutcei Telegroni.
London, England, 1871-01-16

AN ACTOR IN THE REIGN OF TERROR.

One of the French papers records the death of a
man whose name is associated with one of the darkest
pages of French history. M. Lambert, a quiet,
retiring old man, who lived on a small yearly income
which died with him, has passed away in Paris, at
the age of ninety-five, without any of his imme-
diate neighbours being aware that he had played
a conspicuous part in the Reign of Terror. More
than seventy years ago he was secretary to the
public prosecutor, the dreaded Fouquier Tinville,
and recorder of the Revolutionary Tribunal.
He held those offices for three years
though he was then extremely young, but when
the reaction came he escaped to London from
the public wrath against the Terrorists. Ho em-
ployed himself as an accountant here until
1815, when he went back to France and took pos-
session of the little house in the Rue de la Pepiniere,
where he died. He was very fond of flowers, and
took great pains with his garden ; but it was de-
stroyed in the Parisian improvements. He
lived in great retirement, and seemed always
under the shadow of his terrible memo-
ries. He constantly thought of the exciting
events of the days of Robespierre and Marat, but
would seldom speak of them, and only with a kind of
hesitation and fear. The Revolution of 1848 threw
him into a desponding state, for the very name of
revolution seemed to distress him. However, he
rallied at the Great Exhibition, and went out to visit
it. The troubles of 1870, and the investment of
Paris, renewed his gloom, and he became apathetic,
and almost.imbecile. He died repeating the words
that were daily on his lips, " May God save
France."

took pains to discover the wish of the girls them-

selves and finding, as might have been expected,
and that they had no independent views on the matter,
but were anxious to remain with their father, he de-
cided that it was not the duty of the Court to inter-
fere between parent and child without strong reason,
and dismissed the petition. Lord Chancellor 011agan
