THE ILLUSTRATED NATURAL HISTORY
of BRITISH MOTHS. By Edward Newman. F.L.S., F.Z.S.
Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature; also a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of
Appearance, and Localities where found. Bach moth is drawn from
nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John
Kerchner. The figures zre life-size of every species ; and if varieties
require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given The work
is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is
also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. Cd. each part. Part X.
new ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had.

"We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and
publication of this magnificent work."—Field.
" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable. '—Daily Telegraph.
" It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth.
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
many rare specimens."—Standard.
"The completion of Mr. Newman work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth be may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . . We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as . very useful addition to
our library." Land and Water, Oct. 9.

THE PILCHARD SEASON.

The returns of cured pilchards exported from Cornwall
to Genoa, Leghorn, Naples, Venice, and other Italian
ports during the past season are now nearly complete,
only twelve hogsheads remaining to be shipped. The
total export has amounted to 6,046 hogsheads, weighing
about twelve hundred and eighty tons, and purchased at
an average price of £4 per hogshead free on board. The
highest price has been ninety shillings, the lowest
fifty-five shillings, per hogshead. Such a high
average price has not been realised for many
years, even in bad .seasons. Twenty-five hundred
hogsheads have gone to Genoa, five Inindred to Leghorn,
fifteen hundred to Naples, and eleven hundred to Venice.
The average export for the last twenty years has been
fifteen thousand four hundred and thirty hogsheads, vary-
ing from twenty-six thousand seven hundred hogsheads in
1851 to three thousand one hundred in 1859.

A. CURIOUS CASE.

When plaintiffs conduct their o n cases in courts
of law we generally hear some strange tales, and
this was certainly exemplified by Mr. Davis, in the
Court of Queen's Bench. The tale he told was
pitiful and dramatic, though unhappily it failed
to move the feelings of the Court, Some time,
ago he took shares in a Joint-Stock Company;
but for some unexplained reason, refused t.) pay calls
or recognise his liability in any way. The affair got
into the Bankruptcy Court, and an order was made
for his arrest. The officer, he says, laid in
wait for him with seven picked men. As
he was driving along the road in Southwark the
officer called out to him to halt, which he did,
being unaware of the ambush, and thinking Emile-
thing was wrong with the harness. Thereupon the
officer gave the signal to his men, who rushed for-
wards and dragged him from his phaeton. The mob
thought he was a Fenian, and came to the
rescue, but he "held up his hand and entreated them
to be calm." He was carried off to prison and passed
two years in Horsemonger-lane Gaol. When he
emerged from that dismal retreat he brought an
action for illegal arrest, but failed. lle has now
moved for a rule to set aside the verdict, and failed
again, s that the sheriff's officer aind his seven
picked men are held blameless.
A SAILOR, IN A STORM AT SEA.

Admiral Ommanney is highly indignant with the
landsmen who repreient the gale whieh H.M.S.
Urgent encountered, while conveying the eclipse
expedition to Oran, as exceptionally severe. There
was nothing, says the old sailor, in any way unusual
about the gale ; in fact, the passenger who gets the
clerk of the weather to insure him so favourable a
voyage to Gibraltar in the winter season must think
himself very fortunate. There was a strong gale after
rounding Cape Finisterre for some hours, and
in • the middle of the night the tiller rope,
which had stretched, required to be set up taut.
For this reason the engines were stopped, and the.
ship's broadside being brought on to the swell,
made her roll. Things not properly secured
fetched away, some water shipped, and other small
casualties occurred, which the experienced admiral
treats with supreme contempt, though probably they
were sufficiently alarming to novices. " The case
was," he says, "that our scientific expedition was
composed of about thirty gentlemen who were
strangers to the freaks of Father Neptune." Every-
thing was marvellous in their eyes, and the Admiral
hints that Jack found this out, and played them a
few tricks with tales of hurricanes, heavy seas, &c.
He forgets, however, that the general public is. more
likely to sympathise in the wonder of the landsman
than in the indifference of the practised sailor.

A PAINFUL STORY.

A very painful case has just occurred at a colliery
village in Durham. A child named Amelia Walton,
nine years old, died early on the morning of January
Ist, from alleged illusage by her parents. It
seems she was systemetically starved and
beaten, and the neighbours had repeatedly heard
the inhuman mother threaten her life. Whenever she
got outside the house, which was not often, she wopld
pick up scraps in the road and eat them. Late on
the night of December 31st she was seen outside,
with no particular traces of ill usage, but in the night
a woman and boy, passing on a journey, heard her
crying loudly and some one beating her. They
knocked at the door, when the cries left off.
In the morning the father went into a neigh-
bour's and said the child was nearly dead. The
neighbours soon after went in and found her dead,
bearing marks of burns and bruises all over her body.
The doctor said the child had been starved, and he
believed the immediate cause of death was her being
held against the fire. The parents said she had fallen
against it. Both parents have been committed for
trial for wilful murder. The most painful part of
the story is that the mother, two years since,
was sentenced to four months' hard labour
for ill-treating the child, and during her imprison-
ment the poror little thing was thken charge of at
the district workhouse, where she soon changed from
being thin and dull to being plump and lively.
When her mother came out of prison she was sent
back to live with her, or rather to be murdered by
inches.

There has been some discussion about the office

Lord Great Chamberlain. It will be remembered
that it was hereditary in the time of Lord Wil-
loughby d'Eresby, who died a short time since, and
it was rumoured that after his death Lord Gwydyr,
his cousin, who succeeded to his second title, was
to be 'appointed to the office. The deceased peer held
the post of Chamberlain under his first title,
which has fallen into abeyance at his demise:
His two daughters, Lady Aveland and Lady
Carrington, have claimed the right to appoint a de-
puty, and their claim is before the Committee of
Privileges. It is most probable that in waiting till
the claim is settled a deputy will be awo:nted t 3
discharge the duties of the office ad interim. This
deputy will most likely be Lard Aveland.

THE BATTLE OF ST. QUENTIN.

General Faldherbe, in his official report of the battle at
St. Quentin, says :---Seeing the necessity of marching
forward to assist the sortie of the Army of Paris,
I prepared to start on the 16th towards the south-
east to turn the army opposed to me, and threaten the
line of La Fere, Chauny, Noyon, and Compiegne.
I was certain to draw towards me crush-
ing forces, but there are circumstances in which
one must know how to fulfil the duty of devotion. It was
before St. Quentin that I came into collision with the
masses of Prussian troops coming from Rheims, Laon,
La Fere, Ham, Peronne, Paris, Amiens, and Normandy.
As I informed you in my telegram of January 20, the
Army of the North, which has given proof of
the greatest bravery, maintained completely until
the evening its positions, which were very good;
but then the continued arrival of fresh troops of
the enemy, and the exhaustion of our own, rendered
it necessary to give the order to retreat on Cambrai.
General Lecointe's corps was directed along the road to
Cateau that of General Paulze d'lvoy on that of Catelet ;
then with the cavalry I took an intermediate road, that
which leads to Monbrechain. The heads of two Prussian
columns then entered St. Quentin, one by La Fere and the
other by the Paris road. The enemy commenced to pick up
first the wounded ; secondly, the too great number of men
who under different pretexts, had remained in the town
instead of being in their place in the battle; thirdly, the
unfortunates, who, harassed by fatigue and suffering
from hunger, after four days' forced marches, and two
days' fighting, were unable to undertake a retreat of
eleven leagues in the mud on a cold and dark night ; finally
a few of those brave soldiers who sacrifice themselves in
the rear guards to protect a retreat. To this all their
trophies are reduced. They took no prisoners from us on
the battle-field, and we brought away intact our twelve
division-batteries and our three batteries of reserve. Our
four divisions being reduced by six weeks' operations and
battles to 6,000 or 7,000 each, we had barely 25,000
combatants in the battle of St. Quentin. The first German
army, having been reinforced by several corps, must have
numbered at least double these forces. Notwithstanding
this reverse, I hope that the Army of the North will be
able to prove in a few days that this time again it is not
reduced to impotency.

THE TEMPORAL POWER OF THE POPE.
A large county meeting was held in Tralee yesterday
for the purpose of protesting against the invasion of the
Papal territory. The high sheriff presided. Bishop
Moriarty proposed a resolution to the effect that
the invasion of the Papal States by the Italian Govern-
Meat constituted a gross violation of the laws of
nations and of the first principles of justice.
This was carried by the meeting, as were other
resolutions, affirming that the independence of the
Sovereign Pontiff was essential to the freedom of con-
science from secular control; that, in the present condition
of civil society, the temporal sovereignty of the Pope
was the surest guarantee of his independence and freedom
of action in the Government of the Church ; and that the
maintenance of the Pope's sovereignty, was the best
means of ensuring harmony between the spiritual and
temporal powers.

THE GA.RIBALDIAN RAID.

On the morning of the 22nd a dashing raid was carried
out by Riccotti Garibaldi on the German line of commu-
nications. About two a.m. a force numbering nearly
eight hundred, all well mounted and equipped, dashed
down on the village of Fontenoy, on the banks of the
Moselle between Toul and Nancy. The railway bridge of
the Chemin de Fer de l'Est, ercrssing the Moselle at this
point, was suddenly attacked, and its guard of VO Land-

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1871.

Tiiere can, however, be no doubt as to the determi-
nation of the people in Alsace and Lorraine. 'i hey
have suffered most from the war, but they will not
consent to a cession of territory. Herr Wickede, of
the Cologne Gazette, says the feeling is that of
desperation. The inhabitants have lost so much that
no further suffering can affect them. They say
plainly, " We have hardly anything more to lose.
You are now taking away the last remnants, burning
down our houses, devasting our gardens, and de-
stroying our furniture. Our soil, with its fertility,
our fine climate, and our industrious habits you
cannot destroy or take away with on, but will be
forced to leave us." The writer quotes some

to shew that only by the purchase system can be
obtained efficient officers.

THE Loss OF THE CAPTAIN.

A discussion has recently taken place at the Royal
United Service Institution on Rear-Admiral Fish-
b ,carne's paper regarding " The causes of the insuffi-
cient stability of her Majesty's ship Captain, and of
other iron - clads," in the presence of many
naval and military officers. As may be readily sup-
posed, there was great diversity of opinion respecting
the causes which led to the loss of the ill-fated
ship. It was maintained by Captain Selwyn,
R.N., that it was the tendency of modern
ships rather to " wrong " than to " right "
themselves when placed in a critical position, whilst
another speaker contended " that no ship constructed
on true mathematical calculations as to the weight
of sail she was capable of carrying could possibly
c9me by such a catastrophe as the Captain had
done." Captain Dawson intimated that it was
possible to place too much faith in scientific calcula-
tions and transcendental mathematics, and this
view seems to have - been held by Admiral
Sir George Sartorius also, who, in summing up the
discussion, remarked that the architect and the sailor
had not quite gone hand in hand in the construction
of the Captain, and suggested that in future science
and experience should go together in such an im-
portant matter as the construction of ships. " Now
experience was asked to bow its head to science, but
if science did not profit by experience, it would
prove a very bad thing for both."

THE SPREAD OF DISEASE.

The prevalence of smallpox and scarlet fever has
recently directed public attention very strongly to
the reprehensible carelessness and indifference with
which contagion is spread. A. gentleman writes
from Liverpool giving an account of the
reckless manner in which scarlet fever was
disseminated in a case within his own' know-
ledge. Some children were recovering from a
mild attack when their parents, to amuse them, gave
a children's party. Two boys were present, who
afterwards went back to school, which a few days
later they had to leave ill. They returned
to their family, other members caught it,
and two died. The school meanwhile goes on
as usual, though one, of the boys is very poorly.
He nevertheless goes to a party near, and next day
is taken ill with the fever. He is sent home,
where the rest of a large family catch the disease.
The boy who slfipt with him at school is taken ill,
and as some boys are going into the town to pass an
examination, he is sent in with them in a cab, and
reaches home seriously ill. The holidays arriving,
the pupils disperse all but one, who is too ill to move,

PROMOTION BY PURCHASE.

Such an outcry has recently been raised against
the purchase system which at present exists in the
British Army that it is rather surprising that any-
one should be found having the temerity to rush
into print in its defence. Colonel Hart.
however, attempts this task. The gallant col:,nel-
goes as far back as May, 184 P, for statistics
to illustrate the pernicious effects of the non-
purchase system. In that year the ten regiments of
Bengal Cavalry were officered by 182 officers. The
average service of the lieutenant-colonels was 38
years, the majors 31, the captains 25, the lieutenants
- -

,3, and the cornets 8. "Here, writes the colonel,
" we have promotion reduced to zero, and the infusion
of young blood admitted 9n the homcepathic prin-
ciple." The purchase system is thus, according to
Colonel Hart's argument, the only one which
brings a constant and ample flow of young
blood into the army, and supplies it with
lieutenant-colonels in the " prime of manly
vigour," and " youthful majors and captains."
Generally, the public have entertained an idea that the
officer whose means are too limited to purchase
his " step " suffers some hardships from his juniors,
who, having a better-filled purse, are promoted
over, him ; but Colonel Hart argues : "The
non-purchase officer is benefited by the pur-
chase system ; whenever he gains a step, either
by the promotion, by purchase or the selling-
out of any officer, senior to him of his own grade."
It may be advisable to have a constant flow of fresh
blood infused into the army, but Colonel Hart fails

AUSTRIAN FOREIGN POLICY.

In Tuesday's sitting of the Hungarian Delegation
the debate on the budget of the Minister for Foreign
Affairs was resumed. Atter some of the speakers
had declared their approval in general of the polity
pursued by the Government, Herr Orezy, the
Minister representative, in reply t ) various observa-
tions, stated that the Government had not taken any
steps whatsoever to prevent the exclusion of South
Germany from the North. Since 1867 the Government
hal never undertaken anything against Prussia. He
also declared that as it was believed before the
breaking out of the war that it would probably be
carried on on their frontier, it was the duty of the
Government to place the armaments of the country
on a sound basis.

The Berlin correspondent of the Times telegraphs
January 25th, that the semi-official Norddeutsche
Zeitung says M. Jules Favre had been promised a safe
conduct from the German military authorities.
When, however, he ' applied for it to the German
political authorities, after avowing his intention to
moot the German-French question at the Confer-
ence summoned for the discussion of the Black Sea
question, there remained nothing to be done but to
refuse his request.

THE TERMS OF PEACE.

The Standard remarks :—The whirligig of time works
its revenges. Paris has done all that a capital could do,
and for the future France has nothing to fear.
It is the schooling of adversity which is the seed-time
of greatness. While inside the walls of the beleaguered
city the inhabitants were with fearful suspense
speculating on the period of immunity from destruc-
tion by hostile gun and shell which they might
enjoy, white mothers over their infants' cradles were lift-

ing up their hands to Heaven, and praying that the' im-
plements of death might not wing their flight to the
pillows of their little one, a ceremony which we can only
speak of as a blasphemous travesty of devotion was being
celebrated at Paris, and William of Prussia was being
proclaimed Emperor of 'Germany. Thanks were offered
to the Omnipotent for His justice and His mercy, and
the incense of adoration was the incense of blood.
Is it to be expected that a Monarch to whom the thirst
for invasion and massacre has now become an instinct of
nature will stay his hand at the surrender of Paris ? Had
the Prussian legions not been insatiable for blood not a
blow would have been struek after the events of Sedan.
The object of Prussian resistance—the avowed object—
had been more than attained even then. Even
then France lay prostrate and bleeding ; but it was not
enough that she should be prostrate and should
bleed ; she must be trampled on. It may be
that at the outset of the campaign there was
more of public sympathy with Berlin than with Paris,
What is the tone and tendency of general feeling
now? In the only answer which there is to that
question the most eloquent comment upon events is to be
found. The annexation of French territory is not a step
which will be taken for the safety of Germany or the se-
curity of the Fatherland. Prussia alone can gain by it,
and the gain of Prussia will be the violation of the Euro-
pean conscience. The public voice of Europe has condemned
the Prussian policy of spoliation. Is it likely that the
piously-bloodthirsty Prussian Monarch will be warned ?
"A durable peace !" Can any peace be durable which is
based upon the dishonour of one nation, and which is
dictated by ambition and lust ? Will the conditions
dictated by the victorious Teuton be marked by any other
characteristic ? It is upon the reply that fact will
furnish to this question that the future of Europe de-
pends, and the fate of Germany too.

AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY.

A Spanish paper receives a wonderful story from a
correspondent at St. Petersburg. It is well known,
says the writer in the Russian capital, that the
sympathies of the Czar are wholly with Germany, and
those of the Czarewitch with France. On New Year's
Day a grand court banquet took placo at the Palace.
At the close a telegram was brought to the Czar
announcing the fall of 1 ort Arron. Alexander did
not attempt to conceal his satistaction, but rising,
proposed a toast to the King of Prussia. The
Czarewitch, before the rest had filled their glasses
broke his on the table and withdrew. The next day
his father placed him under arrest. His consort,
the Danish Princess Dagmar, who shares his sym-
pathies for France, was ordered to share also his
seclusion. The incident produced a great impression
in the palace and in the city.

DENMARK.

In Monday's sitting of the Volksthing, at Co-
penhagen, the budget of the Ministry of War
came on for discussion. The leader of the Agricul-
tural party recommended that reductions should be
introduced, as perhaps all danger to the small states
would soon disappear. The Minister of War
replied that on the contrary he believed that the
situation of affairs in Europe boded no danger. No
small state, despite its love for peace, could
guarantee that it would not be drawn into the vortex
of war, and have to defend its independence.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE
CAPITULATION OF PARIS.

PROPOSED TERMS OF SURRENDER.

The special correspondent of the Telegraph sends
the following from Versailles, January 24th :
M. Jules Favre is understood to be discussing terms
of capitulation with the Imperial Chancellor.
Points in debate are stated to be these :
The forts to be garrisoned by German troops. •
The Regulars and the Gardes Mobiles to be sent
into Germany.

Paris to receive no garrison : the pro tection of the
city to be confided to the National Guard.
The National Guard not to be disarmed.
The province of Champagne to be held in pledge
for war expenses.
Alsace and Lorraine to be yielded to the German

Empire.
With the forts and Champagne in their pones-
sion, the German authorities will enter into de-
liberation on terms.

France to be left •to reconstitute her Govern-
ment.

These propositions are considered on the French
side too severe, and ere combated.
I cannot say at the hour when this leaves me what
may be the result, and what abatement may take
place on either side.

Up to a late hour last night no confirmation had
been received at the Foreign Office of the report that
M. Jules Favre had proposed to Count Bismarck
terms for the capitulation of Paris. It was rumoured
yesterday that the French Minister had reached
Dover, and was to leave at noon for London ; but
this news was of course entirely without foundation.
We learn, in fact, by a special telegram from our
correspondent at the Imperial headquarters at
Versailles that M. Jules Favre returned to Paris on
Tuesday.—Daily _News.
