WRECK OF A FRENCH BRIG.

The French brig Algers, bound for Cardiff, went ashore
early on Thursday morning, during a heavy gale from the
north-west, half a mile west of St. Ives, Cornwall. Her
cargo consists of sulphur ore. The crew, consisting of
seven men, are all saved. The side of the vessel has gone
in, and she is a total wreck.

GUN ACCIDENT TO AN AMATEUR
THEATRICAL.

On Wednesday, during preparations for some fashion-
able amateur theatricals at Holsworthy, North Devon,
Mr. Algernon Granville, son of a local clergyman, was
handling a revolver, which had to be fired during the
performance, when in sport, believing it to be unloaded,
he pointed it at a younger brother, and pulled the trigger.
Unhappily one barrel hid* been incautiously left loaded,
and a conical bullet entered the young man's left breast,
but happily the bullet appears to have struck the bone,
and glanced off to the side, and has been extracted, and
the sufferer is now out of danger.

THE ALLEGED RESIGNATION OF MR. CHILDERS.

The Telegraph says :—ln eccentric addition to the un-
founded report of Mr. Childers's resignation, we had some
fanciful hints as to his successor ; and, above all men,
Mr. Forster was suggested for the not vacant place.
Even if there were a vacancy, why on earth should Mr.
Forster be taken from the Education Department
and sent to sea as First Lord? With splendid
success, Mr. Forster has carried a great measure for the
teaching of millions of the rising generation. The Act
is just being put into force. A thousand difficult ques-
tions are sure to arise, requiring nice judgment and
prompt action on the part of the central authorities-
It would be a national loss if, at such a time, we made
changes that would bring in a new head to the Education
Office, in lieu of that statesman who has per-
fectly mastered the whole subject, its difficulties, and its
opportunities. As Mr. Lincoln said during the civil
war, "This is not a time for swopping horses." Should
Mr. Forster ever be desirous of working in another de-
partment, his hour will come when the Act is in full
play, and when the schools it has created are full of
new scholars, brought in from city lanes and from
under country hedges. There is a certain comic perver-
sity in the attempt to thrust Mr. Foster on the
Admiralty when so many reasons indicate Mr. Stansfeld
for the place, should Mr. Childers be at any future time
compelled to retire. Mr. Stansfeld first won his spurs as
a reformer and reorganiser by displaying great industry
and power as Secretary of the Admiralty. He too,
like Mr. Childers, is emphatically a self-made
and a House of Commons man ; and he would
faithfully " build on the lines" of economy,
efficiency, and vigour laid down by his predecessor. It is
however unnecessary as yet to indulge in speculations as
to the possible successor of Mr. Childers ; for we may
reasonably hope that the First Lord's services will be long
at the disposal of the country, and that a short respite
from official toil will enable him to resume those duties
which he has already performed so much to the satisfac-
tion of his colleagues, and so entirely to the advantage of
the nation.

TRANSPORT DIFFICULTIES.

The troubles of Germany in the way of transport
during the war have been very formidable. In the
space of 24 hours each corps d'armee requires 18,000
31b. loaves, 120 cwt. of rice, 70 oxen, 30 cwt. of
coffee, 3,500 quarts of spirits, and salt, oats, hay, and
other commodities in proportion. Neither must
the tobacco and cigars be forgotten, and these
form a serious addition. It is stated that these
wants can only be provided to any extent in France
upon the first occupation of a district, as the stores
are afterwards either exhausted or concealed. During
the siege of Metz the besieging troops had to be fed
from Germany. A. quantity of the cattle, received
had to be destroyed from cattle plague, and
other material was often spoiled on the road. The
demand for clothing is on the same gigantic scale as
the demand for food. A distribution of woollen
goods to each corps requires 34,000 shirts, 25,000
pairs stockings, 25,000 comforters, 2.5,000 plaids,
&c. As everybody in the German army can
read and write the postage is a formid-
able item. Up to December 31st nearly 70,000,000
letters had been despatched to and from the army,
and a million and a half of newspapers. Besides these
41,000,000 thalers, and 58,000 parcels of all sizes have
been sent to the German military authorities in
France, while the parcels passing between the sol-
diers and their relatives, average more than 22,000
daily. Under these circumstances, it is suggested
that instead of wondering the prisoners have had
something to complain of in transport, we should
rather marvel that the traffic has been so uninter-
rupted.

THE EMPEROR OF GERMANY.

King 'William of Prussia was on Wednesday pro-
claimed Emperor of Germany in the Hall of Mirrors,
in the Palace of the French Kings, and in the pre-
sence of all the German Princes, under the stan-
dards of the army before Paris, and surrounded by
the representatives of the different regiments.—Times
Telegram.

BERLIN, January 19.

In to-day's sitting uf the Upper House of the
Prussian Diet, the President announced that he
had yesterday addressed a telegram to the Emperor,
giving expression to the joyful at-sent of the
Upper House to the King's acceptance of the title
of _Emperor, and stating that the Upper House
would stand by the German Emperor as it had stood
by the Prussian King. The President further an-
nounced that the Emperor had returned thanks to
the Upper House by a telegraphic message saying :
—" May it be vouchsafed for me to lay, for an united
Germany, the foundation stone of a glorious history,
such as Prussia can show to-day after a period of
700 years."

In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the
Prussian Diet, the address in reply to the proclama-
tion of the Emperor of Germany was voted, the Polish
members alone dissenting.—Reuter's 7 elegranz.

COUNT BISMARCK AND THE PRESS.

Karl liarx, a German, derides Count Bismarck for
accusing the French Government of having rendered
impossible the free expression of opinion in
France, whilst the greatest restraint prevails
in (Germany. At Bismarck's command Messrs.
Babel and Liebknecht have been arrested,
and charged with high treason, because they pro-
tested against the annexation of Alsace and Lor-
raine, and expressed sympathy with the French
Republic. The members of the Brunswick Socialist
Democratic Committee have been subjected to great
persecution for having uttered the same opinions.
The sub-editor of the Leipzig Volkstaat is
prosecuted on the like assumption of treason for
having giNen free expression to his views. Those
German journals outside Prussia which are inde-
pendent are refused admission. Bismarck is not
content, however, with the absolute rule of Germany.
He made the Luxemburg sympathy with France a pre-
text for renouncing the London neutrality treaty. The
Belgian presS incurred his displeasure, and the Prus-
sian Ambassador at Brussels was anxious that the
authorities should forbid the publication of news
which might encourage the French to continue the
war. He even assailed the press of
,St. Petersburg,
and at has request the Censor-in-Chief requested
editors to abstain from strictures on the Prussian
Government. One of these editors has been sent off
to a remote province for having presumed to make
this affair public in the colums of the Goks. Count
Bismarck equally interfered in Sweden, where some
journals gave utterance to mild ridicule of King
William's pious proclivities. According to the
Prussian criminal code, every foreigner may be

THE AVAIL

REPULSE AND RETREAT OF

BOURBAKI.

The following telegrams come through Reuter's
Agency:—
CABLEIRUEIE, January 19.
The Minister of War has received the following
telegram from General Glumer :
" MIT:VILLIERS, January 18 (Afternoon).

"On the 17th instant the attacks of the enemy
were victoriously repuls3d along our whole line.
The right wing, under General Keller, was chiefly
engaged. To-day the enemy is retreating. Our
losSes are rather considerable. No details have as
yet been received."
" FBAHlEft,`January 19 (Noon.)

"Our vanguard is pursuing the enemy to-day along
the whole line. The 2nd Baden Infantry Brigade,
with two light field batteries and two cavalry squad-
rons, under Major-General von Degenfeld, are march-
ing upon Beverne."

The following telegrams are from Royal Head-
quarters at Versailles :

January 18, 9.50 p.m.

General Bourbaki having renewed his attack on
the 17th against General Von Werder's intrenched
position, and having been again repulsed with
great loss, he has commenced his retreat south-
wards.

Before Paris the bombardment is being continued
with greater vigour. _ _ _

11.15 p.m.

The army of General Bourbaki, which was
victoriously repulsed by General Von Werder, has
been in full retreat since yesterday, and the attempt
to relieve Belfort has been completely frustrated.
The Emperor-King has sent the following despatch
to the Empress-Queen :--
General Bourbaki, after three days' fighting,
has withdrawn before the heroic resistance of
General Werder, to whom, as well as to his
valiant soldiers, the highest acknowledgements are
due. General Werder maintained his entrenched
Position, which was strengthened by heavy batteries,
and repulsed all attacks. Our loss in three days'
fighting was 1,200 men.

(FRENCH ACCOUNT.)
BORDEAUX, January 18.

According to an official despatch, the army of
General Bourbaki yesterday made a general attack on
the enemy, who remained constantly on the defen-
sive, but suffered serious losses. Owing to rein-
forcements which he received, and the strength of
his position, he was able to resist all our efforts, and
his line remained unbroken. The town of Avalon
was bombarded on Monday, and about 20 houses
loore or less damaged. It was afterwards abandoned
by the enemy.

THE BOMBARDMENT.

BRUSSELS, January 19.
A balloon fell last night near Ruremonde, having
left Paris at three in the morning.

The bombardment continued without interruption
on the forte, as well as on several parts of the city,
causing considerable damage and fires, which were,
however, easily extinguished.
Great difficulty was being experienced in grinding
the. corn.

About fifteen persons daily were killed through
the bombardment.

SIEGE OF LONG WY.

Longwy was bombarded on the 17th instant with-
out result. Guns of long range on the fortress dis-
Mounted the Prussian batteries. The Prussians
expect the arrival of siege guns.
A. Lombard telegram, dated the 18th says :
The bombardment of Longwy commenced yester-
day at 8 a.m. All the villages round the fortress
have been occupied by the Prussians, and all the
roads leading to Longwy have been barricaded.
The Prussians have erected an 6paulement at 100
metres from the village of Villers-la-Montagne,
411(1 placed a siege battery there. Another
battery has been established near Herserange, and a
third at Tellancourt. On the 16th the Prussians de-
tained in Longwy were exchanged for French pri-
soners,

Colonel Massaroli, commander of Longwy, has
relied an order of the day, in which he states that
he Defence Committee of Lille has decided that the
131 aces of Givet and Longwy are to be defended a
°zitrance ; the possession of Longwy being of para-
Illount importance in connection with the French mili-
-I:3' Operations. The order of the day concludes thus :
Lad us remember that our honour is at stake ; let
118 imitate the heroic example of Bitche, P'nalsburg,
aild) above all, Paris. Long Live France ! long live
the
Republic !"
The Prussians have apparently abandoned the
oltention of besieging Givet.

ENGAGEMENT NEAR ST. QUENTIN.

The Memorial de Liege of to-day says :—Travel-
lers arrived here to-day state that an engagement
h
Ibeen, fought near Roupy and Vermand (welt of

a.ta. until 3 p.m., when it increased in intensity.

SMALL-PDX EPIDEMIC.

Dr. Bridges has presented the Poor-law Board
with a report on the small-pox epidemic prevailing
in the metropolis. He says that in 1809 small-pox
reached iti minimum, but in the autumn of that year
a slight increase took place, and during the first nine
months of 1870 a higher level was maintained. After
September a great change for the worse occurred, and
the statistics of the small-pox hospital no longer served
to mark the progress of the disease, as patients
were refused admission for want of room. The epi-
demic was not confined to East London, as some
snpposed. Examination has shown t ,at the seeds of
contagion were widely distributed. Dr. Bridges
thinks much might have been done in the way of
preventive measures, had a systematic registra-

ton of contagious diseases been carried out by
the parochial medical officers. The Metropo-
litan Asylum Board resolved upon prompt action -in
November, and great praise is due to them for the
exertions which they made. Their extensive pro-
-visions, have, however, fallen short of the evil. The
number of smallpox cases coming under the poor-
law administration has increased trom.3oo at the
beginning of November to more than 900 at the
beginning of January ; and the increase during the
last fortnight has been alarmingly rapid. One of
the two permanent fever hospitals is to be
devoted to the reception of smallpox cases during
the epidemic, and four new pavilions are being erected
on the Hampstead site, at a safe distance from the
public thoroughfare. Dr. Bridges does not think
the acme of the epidemic has been reached yet, and
advises the unions and parishes to co-operate with
the Metropolitan Asylum Board. There is not a
single union or parish in the metropolitan district
which is unaffected by the disease.
