DISTRESS ROUND PARIS.

Mr. Bullock makes some suggestions as to the beat
means of alleviation for the misery which will ensue
when the inhabitants return to the villages in the
environs of Paris. He says that " utter des• ilatlon"
awaits the refugees for the most part. Their houses
have lost their doors, shutters, and windows; in many
in,tances the flooring has been taken up for fire-
wood, and holes knocked in the walls :or no reason
whatever. This wretched picture is a literal descrip-
tion of the state of many villages where the German
soldiers have been in possession for some months.

It is evident that when the unfortunate owners
return to their shattered dwellings they can expect
no indemnity from the French Government, and yet
they will be depriVeil of clothing, furniture, tools,
and implements. Mr. Bullock suggests that when
peace is restored the balance of the relief funds
should be employed in distributing sums among those
communes which have suffered the most, in
order that the most indispensable articles may be pur-
chased. To arrive at an understanding it would be
well to hold a conference of the representatives of
the different societies. Each fund might then arrange
to take charge of a certain number of communes, and
avoid the risk of giving twice in one quarter while
other places are neglected in their distress.

ENGLISH COUNTRY LIFE.

Hospitality, we are told by the Saturday Review,
constitutes the best check upon English eccentricity
and selfishness, enables men to cultivate the habits
of courtesy and self-denial, and sometimes to forget
themselves for ten consecutive minutes. The writer in
the Review, probably mindful of the near approach
of the London season, and of the fact
that county ball-rooms, lately so resplendant in pink
calico, will soon again become the resort of scientific
lecturers, comments somewhat graciously on the
amount of genial friendship shewn in country houses
in England when at their best, but abuses the man-
ner in which hospitality is as a rule tendered.
It is an extreme 'view to suppose that without a
periodical influx of guests an Englishman's house
would not only be his castle, but also his lunatic
asylum. The Saturday Review seems rather to trust
in large parties of visitors, however, espe'ially in
houses where there is £5,000 a year to
spend ; but it deprecates the extravagancies
into which county families have rushed in providing
amusement for guests. Even in the one pursuit of
shooting the dimensions of the sport have extended
to a horrible extent, and to be " given over to
the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air"
which was a reproach at the beginning of the last
century, is now no longer such, for battues have
become at fashionable country houses so plentiful
that guests accept invitations everywhere now-a-days
without much consideration as t ) their respect for
the host and hostess, but with very much indeed
as regards the number of rabbits and birds offered to
them as victims. In hunting circles, moreover, men
think no longer of "going to Lord John's," but in-
stead speak of having a day with Lord John's capita.

ARMING IN FRANCE.

Private letters from Bordeaux represent that the pre-
parations for carrying on the war are being under-
taken with the greatest spirit and speed there.
Within the past ten days alone 250,000 rifles had
arrivA, and the rate of augmentation in artillery is
said to be extraordinary, three batteries
a clay 1 cilia: manufactured, and this supply
is inoreased by contributions from foreign
countries. It is fully believed that twenty-one days
of preparation, discipline, and concentration will work
wonders for France; but the French are always
over-sanguine on these points.

THE SCOTCH MARRIAGE LAWS.

A public meeting, called at the instance of the Scottish
Branch of the Marriage Law Defence Association, was
held on Thursday in Queen-street Hall, Edinburgh, for the
consideration of the Marriage Affinity Bill. The principal
speakers were Mr. A. Campbell' Swinton (who
presided), Dr. Charles Brown, and Dr. Guth-
rie ; and the meeting resolved, first, that a
change in the law legalising marriage with a

deceased wife's sister was against the divine precept,
would bring about a conflict betweeii civil and
ecclesiastical law, and would be destructive to some of the
best relationships of social life. The meeting further
resolved to send Dr. Brown and Mr. D. F. Sandford to
London, as a deputation to the parent society at its
approaching meeting there, and to wait upon the Lord
Advocate and other members of the Government in order
to represent to them the views of the Scottish branch of
the Association upon this question.

LONDON, WEDNESPAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1871

. THE respOnsibility of a most momentous decision
rests with M. GAII.IBETTA, and short are the hours
left him for deliberation. He may resign; he may
remainin office and disregard the armistice made by
the Paris Ministers, carrying on the war as if nothing
had happened ; or he may accept the decision of his
colleagues, and prepare for a general election. Of
these three courses, the last is the only' one that he
can justifiably adopt. It would be wrong to resign
at the present crisis, for he wields the whole admini-
provincial France, and he ought not
sttoraattivaendpoonwetr of
the
nation to anarchy until an Assembly
has been called which will be able to select another
governing power. •To carry on the war without
regard to the terms made by the Paris Ministers
would be a criminal usurpation, unjust to the col-
leagues with whom he entered upon the work of
defence, and unjust to Fral.ce, which is now in a
position to pronounce upon its own destinies. So
prejudicial is ele?,tionearing and similar political
ferment to the prosecutiou of a defen-
sive war, that if the provincial armies
were in a position to make head against
the invaders, there would at least be two sides t ) the
question of M. GAAIBETTA'S rig!it to overrule his
colleagues. He might have information which was
not at their command, and it would be hard if some
combined movement promising success were frus-
trated, because the Ministers locked up in Paris had
agreed to an armistice. There can be no precise rules
for war time. But M. GAMBETTA has no information
except of disasters, and the movement of h:s armies

suicide,
indeed, not wholly lost. The blackness of such a
position is unrelieved by any gleam of success. It is
for the. representatives of the people to decide
whether a guerilla warfare to the death shall be
carried on in preference to surrender. By attempt-
ing
'to decide this question for himself, M.
GAMBETTA would commit a flagrant offence
and a flagrant blunder. The offence will lie in
trampling upon those liberties of which he himself
has been one of the most eloquent exponents of
modern times ; the blunder would consist in facili-
tating the return of that despotism which has been
got rid of at such a heavy price.

MURDER AT BRADFORD.

A murder'was committed yesterday morning, at Blake-
hall tHouse, Eccleshill, Bradford, the residence of Mr.
Joshua Armitage, the senior partner in the firm of
Messrs. Armitage and Ibbetson, engravers, Bradford.
Mr. Armitage, who has for some time been out of his
mind, lived at home under the care of a private attend-
ant. Yesterday he attacked his keeptr, named John
Howard, and, after a severe struggle, both being power-
ful men, strangled him with a towel, which he bad
brought from his bedroom.

THE POPE AND ST. PETER.

On the' 24th of August next Pius the Ninth will,
have completed the term of the Pontificate of St. Peter,
and a demonstration in his honour on that day is being
talked about in Rome. It seems, however, that the
Pope has some scruples about infringing St. Peter's
dignity (by equalling the length of his tenure,
and he is said to contemplate assuming the
name of Pius the Tenth on the eve of

the day. Another report is that he will
abdicate before the date mentioned, with the object
of being re-elected a few days afterwards. The
assent of the College of Cardinals would, however,
be necessary for this step, and possibly Pius the
Ninth might find his re-election less certain than his
abdication.

Sir C. Wingfield, M.P., addressed a meeting of his
constituents at Gravesend last night. He pledged him-
self to support the ballot, and urged the abolition of the
purchase system in the army. He expressed himself as
opposed to the Contagious Diseases Act, and declared
his intention to vote for a dowry being granted to the
Princess Louise. The meeting passed a vote of confi-
dence in the hon. member.

CONSTITUENTS.

The members for Wigan addressed their constituents in
that town last night. Mr. Woods expressed his general
approval of the Education Bill, the defects of which could
easily be remedied through the wedium of household suf-
frage. Mr. Lancaster pledged himself, if the Government
did not do so, to introduce a clause into the Mines Regu-
lation Bill providing for the payment of colliers by weight
instead of by measure. A vote of confidence in both the
hon. members was passed.

SUICIDES BY WOMEN.—On Sunday morning
woman named Jane Dell, aged 33, the wife of a labourer,
living at Heston, near Hounslow, was found hanging by
cord attached to a nail in her bedroom. The husband w 55,
away at work at the time, but a neighbour maned
Elizabeth School, who called upon the deceased, made tile
discovery, and she was so alarmed that she ran nor')/
two miles to the Hounslow Police-station before sb°
gave an alarm. The police at once proceeded to the
house and cut the body down, and it now awaits the 11;
quest. On the same morning a woman named 113"115
Allwright, aged 47, the wife of a lighterman at.Brentfordd

was drowned. Deceased had been in a very despondlni:

INUNDATION AT SMYRNA.

CONSTANTINOPLE, January 31.
The dykes of Melles, at Smyrna, have been de-
stroyed by a torrent, and a large part of Smyrna is
inundated. The railway bridge at Aidin has fallen
in with a train of 15 carriages, four persons being
killed. The number of casualties at Smyrna is as
yet unknown.—Reuter's Telegram.

INDIA.

CALCUTTA January 81.

The Looshai inroad is more serious than was at
first supposed. There has been considerable loss of
life, but chiefly among the raiders, who were stoutly
met by the planters and coolies.
There are three ways by which eachar can be in-
vaded from the south. At each point there was a
guard, but too weak to resist this inroad.

Nothing further is known of Mr. Edgar. His
report of the success of his mission reached one
tea-garden immediately after the raiders had been
repulsed.

Troops under the chief commandant on the Eastern
frontier were promptly ordered up, and orders are
ready, if they should be needed, for Chittagong.

WATER SUPPLY.

Professor Tyndall writes in favour of a supply of
chalk water for London, and says that impurities are
far more likely to exist in the rivers which receive
the washings and drainage of the adjacent towns and
soils, than in the body of the chalk strata, where the
water is free frOm organic matter. With respect
to quantity, allowing that the chalk can
only supply the wants of half a million
instead of three millions, he asks why the
precious gift should not be rendered available to
its full extent. Whatever may be the restrictions
upon chalk water as regards quantity, it would
be well to have that quantity. When an effort
has been made in the right direction, though it be
but on a small scale, it will be possible to determine
the larger question as to whether the chalk is or is
not able to supply the whole of London.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

The energetic inspectors employed by the Society
for Preventing Cruelty to Animals have discovered
another case of unusual barbarity to cattle, where it
might least have been expected. A. "gentleman" farmer
named Denham, residing at Guildford, the inspectors
found, allowed ton cows and four heifers on his farm
to become, forsome reason not satisfactorily explained,
so emaciated through want of food that " the bones
were nearly protruding through the skin." All
the animals had the "peculiar stare" common
to starvation, and scarcely one of them had the

MR. CHILDERS.

It is not improlable that the functions of the First
Lord of the Admiralty may be assigned during the
discussion of the navy estimates to Lord Halifax.
Mr. Childers' health, we have good authority for stating,
is in such a condition that but little hope is entertained
of his being able to resume official labours for twelve
months to come. There is no likelihood whatever of
his being strong enough to move the Navy Estimates
before Parliament, although the right hon.
gentleman may possibly attend the House
during the debates. There is reason to
believe that if Lord Halifax is requested
to act for Mr. Childers in the discussion
on the Estimates, the charge of the general business
of the Admiralty 'Department in the House of Com-
mons will be undertaken by Mr. Baxter, just as was
the case when Lord Clarence Paget was secretary to
the Admiralty, and the Duke of Somerset First Lord.
The Manchester Guardian expects that the moment
Parliament meets the total resignation by Mr.
Childers of his office will be announced, and it
believes that the vacancy will be filled by " a member
of the Government who is already qualifying himself
by anticipation to undertake his new duties."

SPORTING NOTES.

" DFJ.TH OF A PUBLIC FAVOURITE."—Those of our
readers who have seen the best dogs at the different dog
shows throughout England will regret to hear of the death
of the Rev. J. Cumming Macdona's famous Mount St.
Bernard dog, Tell ; he was, undoubtedly the finest speci-
men of the Mount St. Bernard breed imported to this
country, and won every first prize since 1864.
DEATH OF A NORTHERN SPORTSMAN.—WO have to
record the death of Henry John Baker Baker, Esq., of
Elemore Hall, in the county of Durham, at the early age
of forty-eight, after a lingering illness, from an attack of
atrophy, which brought on gradual decline. The gentle-
man in question wad a warm supporter and admirer of
every description of manly sport.

THE SCHOOL BOARD OF MANCHESTER.
The Manchester School Board met on Monday. The
proceedings
opened with a discussion on the minutes as to
the appointment of a clerk to the Board, from which it
appeared that owing to the system of voting adopted at
the previous meeting, the gentleman selected for the office
of clerk was not the one who had the actual support
of a majority of the members. A motion was
made to postpone confirmation of the election, but,
on a division, thi.:; motion was lost, and the election was
confirmed. A protest, however, is about to he lodged
against it. The recommendations of the sub-committee
as to the minimum allowance which the Board should
give in respect of schod fees were approved of—namely,
for boys in a boys' school under a master, 4d. per week, Or-
in a mixed school under a mistress, 3d. ; for girls, in all
cases, 3d., and for infants, 2d. It was also stipulated
that no extra charges should be made for books, and that
no home lessons should be required from the children paid
for by the Board.

OUR ARTILLERY.

We regret to learn that the contemplated increase in
our artillery is likely to end in a hocus-pocus. It is said
that a new brigade of field artillery is to be formed by
taking away one battery from each of the garrison
brigades on home service, without filling up the
vacancies thus caused, although it is possible that a
few more men may be added to the other gar-
rison batteries, so as to bring up the brigade
to its former strength in gunners. We shall thus destroy
a cadre in each garrison brigade to form our new brigade.
In addition to the above piece of jugglery, it is reported
that a whole brigade of horse artillery is to be
formed by a strategetical movement. In other
words the F brigade, at present borne on the
Indian establishment, is to come home and be
borne on the English establishment. The Indian Govern-
ment is to be relieved of the expense of paying a brigade,
and we are to be saddled with it ; but the Imperial
service is not to gain a single additional soldier by the
transaction. We should be glad to know on whose recom-
mendation our Indian garrison is to be reduced by a whole
brigade of artillery. We could understand a reduction
in European cavalry, but field artillery is as necessary for
India as it is for England, particularly in these times
when it has been shewn to be the principal arm. If the
above reports are true there will be no real increase at all
—nothing but a mere shuffle—discreditable alike to all
parties concerned.—Globe.

A. large meeting of master cotton spinners, held
at Bolton, acceded to the application for an advance of
five per cent. in wages, to take effect from the 2nd of
March.

The report which was current last week of Sir
Robert Gore Booth's intention to retire from the repre-
sentation of the county of Sligo is now stated to be
incorrect. The hon. baronet is completely restored to
health, and his constituents look forward to his being able
for many years to continue to represent their interests in
Parliament.
The Maharajah of Bhurtpore, of whom so much
was expected because of his careful training and education
under a British officer, has, we learn from the Calcutta
Examiner, been giving cause of offence by throwing ob-
stacles in the way of, if not actually forbidding, any of
hio mbjaota vioiting the political agent.
THnEE MEN DROWNED.—On Monday morning
three boats, manned by eight men, started from Harwich
to render assistance to a steamer which had got ashore on
the Long Sand. Three of the men, named Sadler,
Roper, and Young, were drowned, the boats being upset
and lost.

SERIOUS CHARGE OF FRAUD.

At the Town -Hall, Leicester, Charles Bailey, fish-
monger, was charged with obtaining whiskey, valued at
nearly £lOO, from George Roe and Co., distillers, Dublin,
under false pretences. The prisoner, who was a member
of a " long firm," it was alleged, wrote to Messrs. Roe,
ordering two hogsheads of whiskey, informing them by
telegraph that a remittance should be sent in the week.
Upon the faith of this telegram the goods were
forwarded, but no payment has yet been made.
The prisoner was apprehended in the Mansfield
Theatre on Monday night, when in reply to the charge
he said that he was going to get 200 boxes of oranges, and
he intended to give a small bottle of whiskey to all who
bought a box. On him was found a case of flash jewel-
lery. He had taken up his abode in the Market Place,
Mansfield, and a large number of letters were found upon
him, addressed from that place, in the name of Losby,
to various firms in Ireland and• Scotland, requesting to be
supplied with eggs, bacon, and provisions. One order
was addressed to John Allen, who lives within 100 yards
of the prisoner, inquiring the price of pork pies. Prisoner
was remanded till Saturday, when he will be committed
for trial.
