AMERICAN AND ENGLISH YACHTS.
Our friends across the Atlantic do not, it would
seem, intend to rest on the laurels they won last
year from the Cambria. Mr. Ashbury proposes to
visit New York, when summer comes round, in
a new yacht, and he will then find several
fresh rivals awaiting him, as well as his
old antagonists. Of course the New Yorkers stoutly
maintain the superiority of their own vessels over
English yachts, and are confident that they will be
able to retain the Queen's Cup. They are moreover
irritated at Mr. Ashbury's exclusion of American boats
from the competition for the cup he won from the Daunt-
less. The easy defeat of the Cambria by the Sappho in
various matches in British waters, " was not calcu-
lated," says the New York Times, " to inspire yachts-
men here with great respect for the sailing
qualities of the English craft, but when she beat the
Dauntless, one of our best and swiftest yachts in the
race across the ocean, -many began to think
we had underrated her capabilities." In subsequent
encounters, the American vessels proved victorious,
but Mr. Ashbury is confident of the superiority of
the Cambria at sea, and in a heavy breeze. This is
one of the points American yachtsmen are eager to
decide, and to test which they are building so many
new vessels.

ALTERATION OF THE TABLE OF LESSONS.
Mr. GATHORNE HARDY asked the Home Secretary

Whether the Government intended, and if so when, to

introduce a bill for the alteration of the Table of
(Lessons. •

Mr. BRUCE said the Government at this moment were

[II communication with the ecclesiastical authorities as to
,he form of a bill, but he was sorry to say he was unable
,* give <I definite answer to the right hon. gentleman.
43 however, he would repeat the question in a few days,

doubt he should be able to give him a reply.
COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL.
. Colonel WILSON-PArrEN asked the Vice-President of
he Council whether Government was prepared to give
wers to enforce attendance at school in districts where
there were no School Boards ; and, if so, to what
uthority.
Mr. _FORSTER said there was power under the bill passed
lastfor year for any district to have a school board having
748 Purpose the passing of compulsory bye laws. The
'-'°vertunent were not prepared to give any additional
D"vers except those given to the school boards, and the
gallant member must be aware that the Government could
1104 give that power because the bill itself did not
authorise them to do so. .As to coming to Parliament
,
ter a fresh bill he could not answer that question, but if
it Was found necessary he imagined it would not be a bill
for
special purposes but a general measure.

THE GREEK BRIGANDS.

.....
We have been favoured with the following from
,he Foreign Office :

A despatch from her Majesty's Minister at Athens,
under date of the 11th instant, which reached the
Foreign Office last night, states that the Greek
Government have received intelligence of the destruc-
tion of one of the brigand bands in Acarnania, under
the chiefs Konromeno, Isnibouka. and Gabriel, the
former having surrendered, and the two lattcr, with
two of their followers, having been killed ; and that
another brigand had been captured in the immediate
vicinity Of Vonitza. The Greek troops are reported
to have driven the bands of Kamara and Beloulia
across the frontier, where the combined Turkish and
Hellenic troops succeeded in killing seven of the bri-
gands, of whose heads four were sent to Larissa,
in Thessaly, and three to Lamia, in Greece.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.-AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, truly efficacious and pleasant, is
admitted to be the best medicine for immediately relieving coughs,
colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient consumption. It fre-
quently cures persons whom the Faculty pronounce incurable, and
admirably allays the tickling which provokes frequent coughing.
In approaching consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Per-
sons deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffocation,
may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it. Prepared
only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8, King William-street,
Charing-cross, London, and by all druggists, in bottles, 134 d., and
three quantities in one, 2s. 9d. each. Bo particular, and ask for

can be assigned for the commission of this crime, as
Crawley has the name of being a steady, sober, and reli-

DEATH AT A PLOUGHING MATCH.

During the ploughing match at Bligdon, near Bristol,
yesterday, an elderly farmer, named John Bennett Übley,
was taken ill, and died in ten minutes.

At the meeting of the National Steamship Company.
held at Liverpool yesterday, the shareholders approved
of the report and policy of the directors. An amendment,
requesting the directors to give further bonus shares, was
rejected.

The death is announced of the Dowager Lady
Rogers, widow of the late Sir Frederick Leman Rogers,
the seventh baronet, who died in 1851. She was a
daughter of Colonel Charles Rupell Deare, of the Bengal
Artillery.

Two sessions • ago the Home Secretary said he
would " at the earliest possible moment " bring forward
a general measure on the laws of marriage. Next Monday
Mr. Monk will ask the right hon. gentleman when that
moment is likely to arrive.

There being no " report " on a bill which has
passed without amendments, Mr. Fawcett has no oppor-
tunity for again raising the question of clerical fellow-
ships, and the third reading of the University Tests
Bill will, therefore, probably take place without oppo-
sition.

In Committee on the Government Bill for the ap-
plication of the Ballot to Parliamentary and Municipal
Elections, Sir Charles Dilke will move to extend the
hours of polling from the present limits of 8 to 4 to those
of 8 to 8, an addition of four hours to the present time of
polling. Sir Henry Hoare will propose a clause to
abolish paid canvassing.

THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.

Colonel Hamley refers to the system of warfare
pursued by the Germans, and thinks it should not he
tolerated any longer. He denies the jnbtice of the
argument of quoting precedents, because to do so
might sanction the barbarity of past centuries. As
for • the reference which has been made to
the Duke of Wellington drawing supplies
from France, Colonel Hamley points out two
important particulars in which his requisitions dif-
fered from those of the Germans : they were paid for,
and they were limited to reasonable demands. Ihe
military chiefs of the German Army fix on particular

THE JARDIN DES PLANTES BOMBARDED.

In reckoning up the injuries inflicted on Paris by
the bombardment, it appears that the Jnrdin des
Plantes was an especial object of attack, as many
as eighty-three shells having fallen in a comparatively
limited area. At the beginning of January some
shells destroyed nearly all the glass houses. The
glass was pulverised by the effects of the shot and
tell over the gardens like dust. The most valuable
plants were killed by this sudden exposure to one of
the coldest nights of the year, and they pre-
sented a very curious appearance. After
the concussion, in many instances, the fibres
were stripped bare, and the bark peeled off. M.
Decaisne the superintendent of the gardens, suffered
the greatest anxiety during the dangerous time, but
he firmly kept to his post, and devoted all his ener-
gies to the task of protecting, so far as possible, his
cherished treasures. He covered the plants with
blankets, and resorted to every means of defence that

ingenuity could devise. The tropical contents of the
large palm house were exposed to the air through
the frost of a severe night, but although greatly in-
jured, none of them have died. M. Decaisne and
others have repaired the damage that has been done
to the Gardens in the expectation that the new
Government of France will repay their expenses
hereafter. M. Decaisne is preparing a list of his

losses. which, it is to be hoped, may be in some
degree supplied by the liberality of those who have
large collections of plants, and who may be glad to
assist the cause of science.

M. MICRELET ON FRANCE.

M. Jules Michelet, the eminent French historian,
has just published a pamphlet at Florence, having for
its title "La France (levant l'Europe," which is
exciting some attention in Switzerland and Italy,
and which will doubtless soon be circulated in France
and England. The pamphlet, unlike most of its
class, is animated, passionn te, and violent throughout.
"Here I am not an historian," say s the illustrious writer,
and certainly he shews himself to be French before
all else; loving his country ardently, admiring almost
as much as he loves ; suffering cruelly from her mis-
fortunes, we neel scarcely say that he does not spare
leer conquerors. In some calmer pages, however
(relatively calmer only), something of the historian
and his original humour break through ; but from
the first page of the brochure to the last, the tone
and thought are essentially those of an inveterate
hater, contemner, and enemy of France's strong
opponents and of her weakly friends.

WAR ARRANGEMENTS.

Should the negotiations at Versailles fail to result
in a definite peace, it appears probable that field
operations will be entirely abandoned in the North.
The waintenance of separate armies in that part of
the French territory did not prove a happy expe-
dients for the Germans were able, at a time of tem-
porary inaction in other parts of the country, to send
rapidly an overpowering force against Fai I herbe,
crush him, and then withdraw the reinforcements to
the duty they had left. Moreover, it will be neces-
sary to keep up the revictualling of Pariscturing Ger-
man occupation, and it would be well, therefore, to
neutralise the departments .of the Nord and the Pas
de Calais, so as to maintain an uninter-
rupted passage for the supply of provisions.
The French forces will be concentrated into one
or two armies resting on fortified seaports. If they
are driven to the shore they can alivays be supplied
with provisions for the fleet, and if necessary can
embark in it, and take refuge on some other por-
tion of French territory. It is to be hoped, how-
ever, that no necessity for this kind of warfare will
arise. The prospects of peace become better every
day. The fifteen commissioners sent to assist in the
negotiations are a most pacific body. Only two, M.
Barthel6my St. Hilaire and M. Victor Letranc are'
Republicans, and these profess a very mild type of
that political faith. None of the commissioners be-
long to the war party. •

A MARINE STEAM ENGINE.

An improvement has baen made in marine steam
engines, which is likely to be of value. So far as
can be at present judged the engine in question has
attained the desideratum of the safe employment of
steam at high-pressure, by which means the con-
sumption of coal, and consequently the expense
of fuel, is materially reduce:i. Messrs. Howard, of
Bedford, have patented a steam boiler, consisting of
many iron tubes, each forming a small boiler. Between
those, and around these, the flame and the gas from
the furnace play, and, as the tubes are joined by
other tubes at the end, the whole aggregate of
the steam produced in them can be used as if it came
from a single source. Any explosion would be
limited to a single tube, and the only immediate
effect would be the extinction of the fire by the
' escaping water. There has not yet been an explo-
sion in a boiler in actual use. The tubes are tested
up to a pressure of 5001 b. to the square inch, though
they are not generally worked under more than
a pressure of 1401 b. An ordinary steamer would
require 1,500 tons of coal for a voyage to China and
back, which would cost, adding Chinese prices to
Northern prices, about £1,500. A. vessel with the
new engines would need only 750 tons for the
voyage, thus effecting a very important saving. The
first steamer fitted with these safety boilers, as they
are called, is the Fairy Dell, which has just made a
very successful trial trip from Sunderland to London.

REPUBLICAN SCANDAL.

Parties under the• Empire were not remarkable for
squeamishness in dealing with their adversaries'
private affairs; but the Republic has become a per-
fect school for scandal. Milliere tells a disgraceful
calumny of M. Jules Favze; Rochefort complains of
it, and says, " Not a word more, or I shall tell all."
Milliere.replies in much the same terms to Roche-
fort. Rochefort threatens to divulge secrets of 111.
Arthur Picard (brother of M. Ernest Picard, the
Minister); M. Picardin return, declares he will" split"
upon M. Rochefort. During the siege the abode of
M. Clement Duvernois was invaded, and all is pri-
vate correspondence—including a quantity of love
letters—seized. M. Duvernois is of course vexed,
and, by way of anticipating the enemy, gives it out
that he has in his hands letters of Gambetta in
which he offered his services to the Empire several
times; and that he, M. Duvernois, is about to publish
his proofs. By way of retaliation, the Mot d' Ordre,
which is the chief organ of M. Gambetta, begins to pub-
lish extracts from the correspondence of M. Duvernois,
and especially from the most private portion of it in
Which—discussing public affairs with his lady-love—
it is agreed between them that there shall be a spe-
cies of cipher, in which the Emperor is to be called
the manager; Rouher, the man of business; Per-
signy, the captain; Walewski, the chambermaid;
Fleury, our friend ; Magne, the cook; the Empress,
the witch; 011ivier, St. Germain; Buffet, brother-
in-law; Thiers, Clarisse ; and so on. All of which is
verb edifying, and calculated to give the French
people a high opinion of their past and present
rulers.

THE ROAD STEAMERS IN FROST.

The recent severe frosts have put the road steamers,
whi:th have lately begun to grow in public opinion,
to a very severe test. Happily, they have gone
through it successfully. Mr. White, of Ketock's
Mill, near Aberdeen, worked his roa,l steamer regu-

any disturbances. The same paper urges the people

The Elecieur Libre denies the report that M. Thiera
will reside at the Palais Royal. A report appears in
the Figaro that a proposal for the neutralisation of
Savoy is being discussed, and also the question of
the continuance of the Treaty of Commerce with
England and other countries is under consideration.

The. Verite says that the appointment of M. Law-
brecht is significant of a Protectionist line of
policy.

LIBFRAL DEMONSTRATION AT SOUTH-

AMPTON.

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAM.)

A Liberal demonstration was held last night at South-
ampton by the United Registration' Association of
Southampton and South Hants. There was a very large
attendance, including Mr. Cowper Temple, M.P. for
the southern division of the county, Mr. Haviland Burke,
M. P. for Christchurch, and many gentleman of influence
connected with the Liberal cause. Mr. Cowper Temple,
in responding for the southern division, spoke at some
length upon the great measures for the disestablishment
of the Irish Church, the Irish Land Tenure, and
Education passed during the last two sessions, and
said that from their action in the past the
country had much to expect of the Liberal
party in the future. He spoke in favourable terms of Mr
Cardwell's measure of Army Reform, and coming to the
Ballot Bill, said that, although the condition of working
voters demanded it as an absolute necessity, he regretted
such was the case. He pronounced the action of the Go_
vernment in the University Tests Act as something to
lead to greater benefits, and in answer to a question as to
why the British soldier cost more than others, said he
could not reply now, but believed a large portion of
the expense was found in the cost of barracks. Mr. Burke
also spoke at some length.

There are rumours in Norwich of a petition agains
the return of Mr. Colman.

It is rumoured that Mr. West, Recorder of
Manchester, will be the new solicitor to the Treasury.
The Duke of Marlborough's health is greatly im-
proved, and there is every probability of his resuming his
place in Parliament at an early day.

whiskers burnt off, and one child slightly burnt. The
premises:of Mr. Sorrel, a chemist, were completely gutted,
as were those of Mr. James, who has lost everything; but
the former saved a small portion of his property. Sergeant
Wyatt, who was early at the fire, was walking on the
roof, when he fell through a skylight into the market, and
died almost immediately afterwards.

THI4 UNITED STATES REVENUE.

The Secretary of the Treasury has issued his
usual monthly statement of the Public Debt of the
United States, showing that during the month of
January the debt has decreased 4,040,986 dollars,
and since the opening of the second year of Presi-
dent Grant's administration on the Ist of March,

1870, the decrease has been 110,301,670 dollars.
The reduction of the debt is all in the item of gold-
bearing bonds, as the other items increase and de-
crease mouth by month, while this one grows steadily
less. The average monthly reduction is much
smaller now than last year owing to the decreased
revenue, resulting from reduced taxation, but the
Secretary continues his policy of selling gold and
buying bonds for this purpose, his announced
programme for February embracing the sale of
four million dollars gold, and the purchase of eight
million dollars bond. This, of course, keeps the
speculators in check, by the constant knowledge of
a large Treasury balance ready to be sold at any
moment, and also prepares for any large decline iu
revenues that the changes in the tax laws may unex-
pectedly cause. A new item in the debt statement
is one for unpaid Pacific Railway interest.

AMERICAN AND CANADIAN TRADE.

A report of the condition of trade between the
United States and the British American provinces has
been transmitted to Congress. The report says both
countries have strong reasons for desiring free corn-
merciai intercourse, but no arrangement of really
reciprocal free trade is feasible, except the establish-
ment of a Zollverein, or Customs Union, which would
involve the independence of the British provinces.
Of course the report labours to prove that the provinces
would gain in every way by such an arrangement, and
a comparison is instituted between the value of
wages in Maine and New Brunswick, New York and
Quebec. An investigation of the Reciprocity Treaty
from the Washington point of view, shows that the
tonnage of American vessels employed in the
mackerel fisheries declined during the period of
the treaty, but the present state of trade with the
provinces shews a balance of nearly twenty-twC
million dollars against the United States, in the
acoounts of the last fiscal year. Not a very encour-
aging result for the friends of Protection in general,
and the enemies of the Reciprocity Treaty in parti
cular.

THE S➢LALLPDX IN LONDON.

The Registrar-General, in his report of the
epidemic this week, declares that the smallpox has
not been so virulent in London as it is now for fully
31 years. In the severe visitation of 1840-1 the
the weekly average of deaths was only 71, whereas
in the present epidemic the average number of deaths
weekly has been 152 for a long time past. Last
week the mortality was worse again than in the
previous seven days, seven additional deaths having
been recorded. The ravages of the disease,
happily for the inhabitants of the West End, who
were so terrified that vaccination was resorted to by
almost every family, have moved away from their
districts to a great extent. Smallpox shewed a con-
siderable increase in the north of the metropolis. In
seven weeks of the current quarter the deaths from
the disease in London have been 1,184, and the
greater number of these occurred wider 20 years of
age. Among children whooping cough prevails to an
alarming degree.
