THE DEATH OF SIR H. DURAND.

The details furnished by the Indian papers
of the death of Sir Henry Durand just re-
ceived, fully explain the accident, though they
scarcely account for the carelessness of guides and
attendants. The Lieutenant-Governor of the
Punjab started to inspect the Tank fort, and
to visit the Own and gardens of the Noma!) out-
side the walls, on the afternoon of December 31st.
After inspecting the fort, he mounted his elephalt,
inviting the Nawab of Tank to seat himself with
him. Ile visited the gardens, and then went on to
the town—a small, poverty-stricken place, surrounded
by a mid wall. The first gateway was 13ft. high,
and the elephant could just pass without the
persons in the howdah having to stoop.
Within the enclosure was another gateway, not
more than ten an I a half feet high, or not sufficient
to allow an elephant with an empty howdah to pass.
It seems extraordinary that this should be the case
in a country ;here elephants are so frequently in
use. The Nawab of Tank states that he told the
Lieutenant-Governor more than once that the gate-
way would not a Imit an elephant, but Sir Henry did
not hear. Half way through it was evident there
was not room to pass, and Sir Henry called
to the mahout to take care. The man tried
to force the elephant to sit, but the top of
the howdah touched the enclosure, and the animal,
feeling the pressure, stepped quickly forward. The
howdah caught the lintel, and Sir Henry was thrown
violently out, falling on his face on the low mud
wall. He was taken up insensible, the blood pouring
from his noso and his mouth, and died the next
evening from fracture of the vertebrae. Nawab
of Tank, who was thrown back in the howdah with-
out falling out, was severely injured, but is recover-
ing. A memorial to the late Lieutenont-Governor
has been resolved on at Cal cutta.

RELIEF FOR THE PARISIANS.

The Allan Company's steamer North American will be
despatched from Liverpool early this (Tuesday) morning,
with a large quantity of flour on board, for Paris. The
vessel was chartered on Friday, and the customs and rail-
way officials have manifested the greatest readiness to
assist with the preparations for departure, which were
conducted during Sunday.

THE SENIOR WRANGLER OF CAMBRIDGE,

Yesterday afternoon Dr. John Hopkinson, of Man-
chester, who came out senior w rangier in the recent Ma-
thematical Tripos at Cambridge, was presented by the
Associates and Students of Qaeen's College, Manchester,
at which he studied for three years, and of which he is an
associate, with an address of congratulation of his
success. Dr. Hopkinson is the son of Councillor Hopkinson,
an engineer, of Manchester, and being a Nonconformist,
he was disqualified from accepting the emoluments which
are attached to the distinguished position he has achieved,
and has already devoted himself to his father's business.
The meeting yesterday was attended by the Principal and
Professor of Owen's College, the Mayor of Man-
chester, the President of the Chamber of Com-
merce, Sir William Fairbairn, Sir Joseph Heron,
and representatives of other public bodies. The
address was presented by Mr. Joseph Bull, a student,
who, in the course of his speech, said : There was one
thing which, as a Nonconformist, he could not prevent
himself from saying, and that was, every gentleman •in
the College, he believed, felt that it was not right that Dr.
Hopkinson, or any other Englishman, should be debarred,
as he was, from enjoying the highest emoluments which•
his university offered, and which he had so justly earned
for conscience' sake. (Cheers and a few marks of dissent.)
—Dr. Hopkinson, in replying, confined himself to thank
ing his fellow students and associates for the expression
of their good feeling, and to thanking his teachers and
professors for the assistance they had given him during his
career as a student.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT IN A RAILWAY
TUNNEL.

The Liverpool borough coroner held an inquest yester-
day on the bodies of George Ellis, Alfred Liddiard, and
Amos Darwen, who were killed in consequence of the
breaking of a chain by which they were being lowered
down a shaft, communicating with a tunnel on the Great
Northern Railway. The jury returned a verdict to the
effect that the chain,being much worn, was insufficient for
the purpose for which it was used.

THE SMALL-PDX EPIDEMIC.

Mrs. Gladstone, who is ever foremost in works of
charity when the poorer classes of the metropolis
suffer under exceptional calamities, " rejoices" at
being enabled to offer a smallpox convalescent home
to the medical men of London for their patients at
this present time of distress. Two houses at Clapton
which were used with much advantage during the
prevalence of cholera, and subsequently of re-
lapsing fever, have been once again offered
by this good lady, for persons recover-
ing from the terrible disease now almost ragin:4.
in London. Added to her benevolence in this
di►ection, the wife of the Premier hal undertaken
the collection of a fund to meet the expenses of
bed in, nourishment, physicians, &c., and we are

with a'success that Fcarcely could have been antici-

THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.

The Marquis of Lorne presided at the annual dinner of
the Inverary Curling Club. In responding to the toast of
"The Princess Louise," Lord Lorne said:—" I assure
you the Princess looks forward with much delight to the
time when she hopes to visit this part of the kingdom. In
one of your recent matches between married men and
bachelors my sympathies were entirely with the latter,
and I was glad they were able to hold their own ;
but next year I hope to be on the other side,
and that I shall not find myself the only one
draughted into the opposite ranks." The Rev. Mr. Car-
michael, chaplain of the club, in proposing the Marquis's
health, said :—" Though perhaps Lord Lorne won't
thank me for saying so, there can be no doubt that the
Princess Louise has been very fortunate indeed ; and I
only hope she will prove as excellent a wife as her own
mother, or as Lord Lorne's has proved. It is saying a
great deal, but it is not saying too much when we express
the conviction that the Marquis of Lorne is in every
respect worthy of the Princess."
An Inverness paper states that it has now been defi-
nitely arranged that Lord Lorne is to wear at his wed-
ding the full Highland costume. Several well-known
houses in Edinburgh are at present busily engaged in
making for the " youthful marquis a magnificent specimen
of the garb of old haul." No stone ornaments are to be
introduced ; the mounting will entirely consist of gold,
richly chased—every piece of jewellery having engraved
on it besides the arms of the noble house of Argyll.

FARMERS AND THE WEATHER.

Farmers are proverbially celebrated for their com-
plaints respecting the weather, but it is not often
their discontent is able to assume a tangible form. In
a story which reaches us from the Hiogo and Osaka
Herald, however, a change of weather led to serious
results. A man named Sobe, a Chinese speculator
in rice, was much annoyed at the continued
fineness of the -weather, which favoured the farmers
and injured his profits. He consulted some friends
as to the best means of setting the elements by the
ears and spoiling the crops. A petition to their
favourite gods was resolved on, and when heavy
rains am' destructive winds and tides came on, Sobe
and his frieu's rejoiced at what they thought
the answer to their appeal. They had a
grand banquet in honour of the gods who had
wrought the change ; but the farmers, on hearing of
the affair, were highly incensed, and resolved on
punishing the too successful worshippers. Muster-
ing to the number of a hundred, and arming them-
selves with matchlocks, they marched t ► Sobe's
residence, and pulled it to the ground, the speculator
and his friends escaping with difficulty. A
consultation was held, at which the farmers
decided that Sobe must die, because worsa
might happen to them through his gods, if
he was allowed to live to ask for more such
changes. They assaulted the stronghold where Sobs
had taken refuge, and demandel his head. Being
refused, they petitioned the authorities, insisting on
his punishment. The authorites arrested Sobe and
a friend, who await trial, wishing probably that they
had let the weather alone. •

INTERNATIONAL CONGRESSES OF EUROPE.

The Congresses or Conferences which halie been
held in Europe at different times are landmarks in
the history of the various States, and p dut out the
chiet causes of political excitement and agitation
that have arisen. In 1814 a Congress was
at Vienna for the purpose of recon-
structing the map of Europe, after the
disturbances occasioned by the wars of the First
Napoleon. The second Congress of Paris in 1815
was supplementary to that held at Vienna. It was
chiefly remarkable for the conclusion of the "Holy
Atianee," which bound the sovereigns of Russia.
Austria and Prussia to support absolute Monarchism,
The Congress at Aix la Chapelle in 1818 readmitted
the Bourbons of France into the alliance.
In 1819 a Congress was held at Carlsbad to impede
thd Liberal movements of Germany. Italian Revo-
lutionary agitators were the cause of the Congresses in
1820 and 1821 at Troppan and Labiach, and in 1822
applied the principle of an armed intervention to the
Liberal movement in Spain. In 1856 the Conference
of Paris met to arrange the Eastern Question. In 1863
the Emperor of Austria called a Congress rankfort
to settle the German questions The Conference in
London in 1864 failed to prevent the separation of
Schleswig and Holstein from Denmark, In 1867 a
Conference was hell in London for the purpose of
providing for the neutrality of the Grand Duchy of
Luxemburg. The revival of the Eastern Question
hay led to the assembling of the present Conference.
In 1867 the Greek question led to a Conference.

POLITICAL DISSENSION IN FRANCE.

It was once boastfully said, the Daily News remarks,
that when France was satisfied Europe was at peace. It
may truly be said that when France is unsettled Europe
is disturbed. Revolution and anarchy among the French
people are the signals of disorder in nearly
every nation of the Continent. The present
condition of France, and that into which
she threatens to drift, form as great a darter to
Germany and to Europe as any which menaced it
from Napoleonic ambition and Imperial armies. It is
probable that Count Bismarck has for months had fore-
sight, more or less distinct, of this evil. It is not likely
that now, when it fronts him in all its magnitude
and depth, he can fail to recognise its true charac-
ter, and see the peril which lies in it. The nar-
rowest German patriotism dictates the same course
as that which a larger humanity would en ;gest.
Forbearance and moderation may be recommended as
politic to men on whom it would be improper to urge them
as generous. They are necessary to the safety of Ger-
many, and to the peace and progress of Europe
not less than to the restoration of France. The
feuds between Bordeaux and Paris, between the
war party and the peace party, the strifes of
dynastic pretensions and of theoretical principles,
of Orleanist, Bonapartist, and Legitimist, of Moderate
and of Red Republican, of Socialist Reformer and
Social Conservative, threaten all over France ;
and unless means can be found of conjuring away
the elements of danger, they will undermine any
settlement which may be at tempted. When the very
principles of society and the bases of Governments are
questioned, the peril menaces established order
everywhere. The year 1848 overset many European
thrones ; and the catastrophe- of 1871 threatens to be
more disastrous than that of 1848. It may be doubtful
whether the danger which we believed Count Bismarck to
have seen in September, and which then might have

seen obviated, has not now reached unmanageable

limits. If it is to be got rid of, it can only be by
the proposal of such terms of peace as shall invite the
unanimous acceptance of the French people, and leave
them free to turn, with some degree of national self-
respect and under burthens not too heavy to be borne,
from a miserable and humiliating past to the work of
securing a staple and orderly present and a brighter
future.

pointed a committee to co-operate with the French

MEMBERS OUT OF PARLIAMENT.

One of our members has boldly struck out a new
line of conduct for himself, inlieu of the " annual
address," supposed to he so necessary to the consti-
tuents of the different boroughs. Probably, alarmed
at the prospect of having to talk any amount of
nonsense respecting the past or the future session, tOr
two hours to his constituents, Mr. Charles Foster,
M.P. for Walsall, bit upon the happy device of lec-
turing to them itisteari, on the subject of Queen
Anne. The hon. gentleman summed up his notice
of the " Good Queen" by saying that if slit) was dull
and commonplace, she was certainly a true woman
and a faithful Queen, who bore with fortitude and
resignation the sorrows which marred her wedded
life. Mr. Forster, perhaps fearing that even lecturing
might have its serious results if not accompanied
by some exceptionally cheerful surroundings, came to
the place of meeting prepared with a number of
recitations from " Thompson's Seasons," " The Dying
Christian to his Soul," and " The Messiah." The
local papers state that the lion. member delivered the
recitations with grace, awl that his intelligent
audience were much gratified with the evening's per-

fomancas.
THE IMPROVEMENT OF LOCAL LAWS.

The people of Sheffield have been exerting them-
selves to effect an improvement of their local law,t.
The stipendiary magistrate to whom their scheme
has been submitted, expresses strong approval of the
codification of laws relating to towns, but suggests
many particulars in which he thinks the scheme could
be amended. His experience as a police magistrate in-
duces him to think there is great need for the definition
and extension of magisterial powers for obtaining
sireties. Another kindred subject is the legal
responsibility of parents for the good conduct of
their children. The Sheffield magistrate holds that
parents should pay damages in cases where children
rob gardens, break windows, &c., and should

year, it is to be appreherde I that religious
teaching may lose its interest_ with
.teachers, and
learners. The main antidote •to this evil tendency
must be supplied by the care, the zeal, and the per-
' so al instruction of the clergy, of whose pastoral
charge the children form an important part, and by
the piety and earnestness of the masters and mis-
tresses urging them to continue as a matter of duty
what has ceased to be a source of professional
advancement or profit. A systematic inspectio❑
should also be kept up; the inspector's visit will
assist the clergyman in estimating the success of
his religious instruction, and will also satisfy the
subscribers that religious teaching is faithfully taught
in the schools. In the London diocese, it is proposed

that the provision for inspection should be made by
the Diocesan Board of Education, but it will be
necessary that funds be provided for the work. The
Bishop thinks there ought not to be any difficulty
in raising the required amount. Those lay mem-
bers of the Church who appreciate the value of •
religious teaching will not refuse their assistance.

THE QUEEN.

There is every reason to believe that her Majesty will
make an effort to appear more in public during the ensuing
season, and that her subjects will have the pleasure and
pride of welcoming her once again in the occupation of her
proper position as the leader and mistress of London society.
It is equally gratifying to hear that the Queen has passed
through this unusually trying winter with fewer returns
than ever of the painful complaint to which she has
hitherto been so subject—a circumstance that augurs well
for her complete recovery.—Globe.

THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.

A. lengthy argument has been progressing in the
papers touching the German system of enforced
requisitions in money and kind. Colonel Hamley
strongly condemns this system asneedlessly aggravat-
ing the horrorsof war. Reference has beenmade to the
conduct of the Duke of Wellington, who repressed

pillage by his troops with relentless hand. Other
writers have replied that the magnitu,le of moder❑
operations prevents this leniency. Armies must
be fed, and the difficulty of supplying the
enormous hosts under their care is a sufficient
excuse for the requisition system. This is true to a

certain extent. An invading army cannot be ex-

petted to refrain from using the stores of food which
lie within its reach in wealthy countries; and if the
inhabitants will not furnish stores, there is no answer
to the pleh that the generals are justified in compel-
ling them. But these supplies should be paid for. To
take them for nothing is useless cruelty, and not
beneficial to the interests of the invaders. When an
army pays a fair price for all it takes, the inhabi-
tants are enabled to replenish their supplies from
the surrounding districts and from foreign countries.
But if no money is given, importations from neigh-
bouring districts cease at once, the inhabitants
become in danger of starvation, and the invading
army has to fall back upon its commissariat.

Bo URBAKI'S ARMY.

The Swiss territory has given shelter at different
times to a great many visitors whom the Govern-
ment would have preferred to see outside, but it
never had such a plague of unwelcome guests as
Bourbaki's army. The troops of this destroyed
array entered Swiss territory in a dreadful condi-
tion. They were without arms, without food, almost
without clothes, and with hands and feet frostbitten.
Their distress reminded the observer of the retreat
from Russia in 1812. The various corps and
their subdivisions were in a state of complete
dislocation. It is necessary to feed, lodge, and
nourish this fugitive host of 80,000 men. The
finances of the little Republic will feel the burden for
many a year. But the Government does its duty
faith 1 ully.

THE LATE MR. T. W. ROBERTSON.

In common with all those who have ever had the
good fortune to witness the excellent comedies
of "School," "Ours," and " M.P.," we deplore sin-
cerely the death of Mr. T. W. Robertson. Perhaps
no dramatist succeeded in so short a period
in becoming popular with the public as the de-
ceased author, whose name was first mentioned in
London, in c ‘nnection with that. of the late Charles
Browne, or "Artemus 'Ward," in 1808. No dramatic
author of the present day should more fairly claim
our gratitude, inasmuch as were it not for Mr.
Robertson's revolution in favour of social
and pleasant comedies, W. 3 might even still
at every theatre be victimised with the
wretched sensation pieces and the nonsensi-
cal burlesques which were in vogue when " Caste "

and " School " were offered for public patronage.
Two only of Mr. Robertson's comedies may be said
to have been failures, or comparatively so, and one of
these, the " Nightingale," produced at the tdelphi,
Theatre, was placed upon the stage at the time that Mr.
Robertson was first attacked with the illness which
has now terminated in his death. Some little time
ago the author's wife died, and it is much to be
feared that the sorrow for this event considerably
accelerated his own daath.

TARIFF FOR 1871.

THE CENTRAL PRESS.---TELEGRAPHIC
NEWS.
The liberal arrangements made by the Post Office for the
transmission of news have largely increased the demand for
telegraphic intelligence. The Proprietor of the CENTRAL
PRESS is now supplying upwards of seven hundred newspapers
and newsrooms, whereas the total number of subscribers sup-
plied by all the telegraph companies under the old system did
not exceed 306.

The following services of news have been arranged with the
view of meeting in the most efficient and economical manner the
requirements of newspaper proprietors and the managers of
Exchanges, News Rooms, and Hotels.
It will he seen that for 395. per quarter, or 6d. per day, all
important news that transpires from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. can be
telegraphed to any part of the United Kingdom where there is
a postal telegraph office.
A full supply of news for first-class News Rooms and Evening
Newspapers, including extracts from the London Morning
Papers, with the text of all important foreign telegroms and
official communications, such as the Queen's Speech, are coal-
prised in Services 2,3, 4, and 7, and are supplied for £ll 14s. per
quarter, or £46 16s. per annum.
Full supplies of News for Morning Papers are comprised in
Services 5, 11, 12, and 15, which are supplied for £l7 lls. per
quarter, or £63 4s. per annum. If Foreign News (No. 15) is not
required, the cost will be £l3 13s. per quarter, or £49 3s. per
annum.
London, England, 1871-02-06

Why, then, do the working men oppose this gran

We do not believe it is because they hold the money
to be so much taken from the pockets of the poor.
If it remain with the taxpayer, the poor would de-
rive no appreciable benefit from the retention.
Working men know very well that much
greater retrenchments can be int:de in other
directions, and that whilst millions are wasted
in the army, it is a loss of time, and a diver-
sion of attention from important matters,
to haggle about six thousand a year. Mr. HoLv-

OAKE, who ought to know something about working
men, suggests that the artisan class are just be-
ginning to exercise_ political rights, and they are
naturally unskilful in choosing the direction for their
efforts. They have no political instruction, for
few, if any, of the daily papers write for the artisan,
class. "No wonder the working class are not yet
great political adepts. Nothing but a native fund of
patience, good sense, and honest feeling keeps them
from making more mistakes than they do." There
is a good deal in this theory; but it does not account
for the opposition to the dowry of such a man as
Mr. ODGER, who is not withoutknowledge, nor of the
adhesion to the movement of Mr. FAWCETT, who is
a man of great knowledge. Probably the most
potential impulse is the consideration that Royalty
is now practically in abeyance, and that it is
unfair to make the nation support an
institution which has for the time ceased to perform
any ostensible duties. It is not unnatural that the
selt-effacement of Royalty in England during the last
few year:, should cause dissatisfaction. The suspicion
that the income of the Throne is hoarded up instead
of spent in supporting the usual state, is harboured
in many quarters. It is supported by the
reasoning that if the Civil List was sufficient
at a time when the court was maintained in splen-
dour, it must be more than sufficient in these days
London, England, 1871-02-06

STELLA'S FORESIGHT.

A very curious instance of "coming events casting
their shadows before " was brought under the notio3
of the Irish Church Temporalities Commissioners.
Anticipations of the separation of Church and
State in Ireland were entertained a cen-
tury and a half ago. Esther Johnson,
known to all litt6rateurs as " Stella," bequeathe3
21,000 to Steven's Hospitals, Dublin, in her will
bearing date the last day of 1727, but added in her
own handwriting a provision that if it should happen
at any after time that the Established Episcopal
Church of the kingdom should come to bo
abolished the bequest was to be wholly null and
void, and the principal and interest were to devolve
to her nearest relative living. TII6 claim, however
could not be allowed ; but the Judge
remarked that it was curious Dean Swift
should have made the same disposition,
in his own bequest to the parish of Larcar, with the
exception that he made no gift over. It is probable
from this that Stella's apprehensions were founded
on the opinions she heard expressed by the brilliant
and eccentric dean.

RE-VACCINATION.

Large numbers of families are just at present

doublas to whether there is any urgent necessity
for having children and others vaccinated a second
time. The Lancet of this week, and some medical
correspondents of other journals declare that re-
vaccination is positively needful during the
present epidemic for all who have not been
vaccinated during the past eight years.
In the cases of children over nine years of
age the precaution is expedient in an especial degree,
at all events in places where the smallpox disease has
.manifested itself. In districts where an isolated case
of smallpox occurs the only test of safety against a
regular invasion would appear to be re-vaccination.
