THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS.

After twelve days of hard frost, more severe than has
visited the metropolis for some years, with a change of
the wind yesterday morning from the south.east to the
south-west came a gradual thaw sufficient to make the
main streets and roads on a wet and sloppy condition,
owing to the quantity of snow lying about, but not as
yet making much difference in the suburban districts,
where the snow still lies hard and lumpy on the
ground. Up to last night the ice in the parks, which
averages about five inches thick, had not been at all
affected by the thaw, although towards evening it got
rather damp from the partial giving way of the snow
lying about its surface, rendering sliding almost im-
possible, but not in any way interfering with skating.
The visitors to the parks yesterday, though very
numerous, were considerably less in number than
on the three previous days, while the few hundred
torchlight skaters last night on the Serpentine presented
a marked contrast to Monday night, when at 8 o'clock
there were over 5,000 persons on the ice, including a large
number of ladies. At midnight on Monday the glass at
the receiving house of the Humane Society in Hyde-
park registered 25, with the wind north-east, At 4 o'clock
the wind suddenly veered round to the north-west, and the
glass rose rapidly, and at 2 o'clock yesterday morning it
stood at 30, at noon 32, and at 8 o'clock last night at 34,
or two degrees above freezing point. In view of the
probable breaking up of the ice, and the consequent lia-
bility to immersion of those who may be upon it, Mr.
Young, the secretary of the Humane Society, has ordered
an extra number of icemen for duty to-day. The number
employed during the past week has been forty, but
nearly double that number will soon be required. As
the ice gives under the thaw, the Serpentine will be
very dangerous, the depth being from 14 to 16 feet,
and the rescue of persons immersed will be both
dangerous and difficult. The Humane Society have boxes
placed at the tents of the parks to receive the donations
of the public, for whose protection they incur con-
siderable expense in providing tents, medical assistance,
apparatus for saving life, and icemen, and much surprise
is expressed at the little appreciations of the society's
efforts by the public. On Sunday last, when there were
30,000 people on the ice in the Regent's Park, the receipts
in the box there were only 6d., and on Monday but 91d.
The other boxes shewed similar results.

FiRR THIS MORNING.—The warehouse of the
Wanzer Sewing Machine Company (Limited), situated in
Hart-street, Covent-garden, was totally destroyed by fire
at an early hour this morning. The adjoining buildings
were damaged.

FE➢IALE EDUCATION.

It would appear that Prussia, so advanced in all
other enlightening and civilising processes, can yet
point to one more superiority over us, in the system
that country adopts for the education of women. At
an unusually full meeting of the Victoria Discussion
Society, on Monday evening, the superficial
character of the education given to Eng-
lish girls, and the general inefficiency of
those who professed to teach them, was once more
discussed. A lady from Germany spoke in
praise of the system under which her countrywomen
were instruc'ed, and subsequently Miss Faithfull
condemned the English plan in the presence of the
German lady, and informed the audience that Miss
Nightingale had said that three fourths of the
whole mischief in women's lives arose from their
excepting themselves from the rules of training con-
sidered needful for men. After the lady speakers, Dr.
Brewer, M.P., who took the chair, made an address,
probably one delivered under a certain sense of awe, as
he merely suggested that the advantages of the mar-
ried condition were overrated, and that one of the
things most wanting in the education of girls was
self-reliance. In women of the present day he saw
too little prudence and forethought, and the evils he
noticed were chiefly to be found among the poorer
class.

The extraordinary success which has attended the production
of the Shadow Dance, with the brilliant and varied effects of
the electric light on the groups of dancers that nightly partici-
pate in it, combined with the admirable Operatic and Dance
Music Selections presented in the often-changed programmes,
have had the gratifying effect of making the I;n:sent one the
most extensively patronized season since its first opening. The
celebrated Orchestra, under the direction of its highly efficient
chef, Signor Luigi Curti, performs the choicest and latest com-

A SERIOUS BUSMLSS.

A considerable amount of surprise has, we are
iulounctl, been occasioned at Chatham and the other
naval stations, in consequence of instruc ions, re-
ceived by telegraph from the Admiralty, directing
that the whole of the stewarls of the several vessels
of war in harbour, as well as th, se belong-
ing to the Royal Naval Barracks, were to
be placed under arrest, and their books
and other official documents taken posi•ession of.
This extreme measure has, we hear, given rise to a
considerable amount of conjecture, as since the per-
sons concerned have been in custody a number pf
officials from the Admiralty have been sent down
for the purp se of making private investigations of
the books and other official documents in the care of
the persons under arrest.—Pail Mall Gazette.

COLLISION ON THE NORTII LONDON
RAILWA.Y.

A serious collision took place yesterday morning on the
North London Railway between Camden-town and Barns-
bury stations. Shortly after the 7.45 passenger train from
Chalk Farm left the Camden Town station, a coal train
came out of one of the sidings a short distance from
the Caledonian-road Bridge. The passenger train, not
being able to pull up in time, ran into the coal trucks.
Upon the train being brought to a standstill the guard
was found lying insensible at the bottom of his van. He
appeared to be dead, but on his removal to the Great
Northern Hospital it was found that he was still
alive. His injuries, however, are so severe that there
are no hopes of his recovery. Several other persons re-
ceived slight injuries from the shock of the collision. The
guard's name is Henry Hotter, aged 24 years. He was
not the guard of the passenger train, but was going on
duty at Bow. The lines were blocked by the accident for
some time.

NEW MUSIC.

" The French Soldier's Farewell" is the title of the
new song just written by Mr. H. J. St. Leger. It has
been set to music by Mr. D. L. Ryan, and we have to com-
pliment both author and composer on the beauty
of the production. It is arranged in the
key of E flat, and as it presents no diffi-
culty 'to a voice of ordinary compass, it only requires
publicity to become a general favourite. The securing a
good ballad at the present time is rather a difficult matter,
but here is one we can safely recommend.
• Sons of the Brave Wake to Glory," by the same author,
the music by Tom Brown, is a fine spirited war song. It
altogether differs in style from the above, but it is a very
excellent composition, and when sung with effect will be
sure to elicit great applause. The songs are published
by Davison, of Regent-street.

POLICE INTELLIGENOE.—Tins DAY.

SHOCKING CONDITION OF A CAB-HORSE.--ReHjaMill
Vernon, cab-driver, badge 16,857, was brought before
Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street Police-court,
charged with the following cruelty to a horse :—Sergeant
Lindsay, 3 C R, said that about two o'clock that morning
he was on duty in Regent•street, when he saw the pri-
soner driving a horse attached to a cab. The horse had
several sores about it, and appeared in such a state of
terror that it could not bear any one to touch it. The
prisoner said the horse was sent out by the horsekeeper.
William Peet, officer of the Royal Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, said that on examining the
horse he found it to have some wounds of old standing,
and its shoulder very much swollen. He had no hesita-
tion in stating that the horse was suffering from a disease
of the spinal cord, as it could not be touched ; it was
dangerous for any one to go near and quite unfit
to be used in a public carriage. The horsekeeper
had told him that his master had only had the horse a
fortnight, and did not know that there were any sores
about it, but he (the officer) considered that impossible,
as the horse was in such a state that two men had to harness
it, and it was dangerous to touch it. Mr.. Knox re-
manded the prisoner on a £5 bail, that Mr. Cherry, the
veterinary surgeon, might see the horse, and that the
Society could take any steps against the owner it thought
proper.—Edward Kirby, badge 17,787, was charged with
cruelty to a horse. After hearing the evidence of a con-
stable and Frederick Andrew, officer of the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the evidence
showing that the horse, which was in poor condition, had
been cruelly overworked, and scarcely able to stand, Mr.
Knox fined the prisoner 205., or 14 days.
A HARD CASE.—lsaac Taylor, a poor imbecile old man,
was brought before Mr. Lushington, at the Thames Police-
court, charged with defacing a wall by painting on it with
" white wash" " try Davie's sewing machine." It was
stated that he had been previously convicted for a similar
offence. He pleaded that he was a poor man trying to
get a bit of bread by honesty. Mr. Lushington said the
prisoner was not to obtain his living by an offence against
the law. He fined the prisoner 155., which he was unable
to pay, and he was sentenced to 10 days' imprisonment.

A NON-WORKING CASUAL.—JohnWilliams, a casual, was
brought up at the above court, charged with refusing to
perform the task of work allotted to him in the Mile-end
Old Town Workhouse, where he was received last night.
He was provided with supper, bed, and breakfast, and
refused to bleak stones this morning. He was sentenced
to one months' imprisonment and hard labour.

TIIE SINKING OF SHIPS AT DUCLAIR.

On Monday night an order was issued by the Govern-
ment authorities for the immediate removal from the
Well-street Sailors' Home (London) of the thirty-four
sailors who had been placed there by the Registrar-
General of British Seamen, in consequence of their having
been left without means by the sinking of the vessels in
which they were employed in the Seine, by Germans. The
officers and seamen of the vessels in question will be com-
pelled to return to their homes, and some of them state
that the destruction of their vessels and the loss of their
property had left them destitute.

THE SNOW.

Among the many who feel angry that the snow
has come down so al.undantly, and clothed our
thoroughfares, roofs, and gardens, are the burglars.
Like the bargemen on the rivers, their occupa-
tion is rendered impossible just at present.
If they do attempt to pursue their usually
remunerative profession, foot-marks in the
snow leaf to their identity and arrest; while ice
upon the window sills makes the latter disagree-
able and dangerous places to be at work.
The dread which may justly be produced
in the philanthropic mind of the burglar by
snows may perhaps be judged of from a
case heard at the Mansion-house on Monday. An
attempt to enter a bullion dealer's in the city was

discovered to have been made. One point of attack
was the roof, and even here in the snow were positive
footmarks, which at once afforded valual,le testimony
for the prosecution.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5,
Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years
this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number
of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan
adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London
and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and
faithful addresses have been given. _ . _

During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly
every week in some of the most frequented districts of the
metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen ones.
To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are
earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John
Stabb, Hon. Sec., 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the
Union Bank of London (Carey-street Branch), W.C.

LOCAL TAXATION IN WARWICKSHIRE..

At the Warwickshire Quarter Sessions yesterday, a
petition to Parliament was adopted, praying for a revision
of the present system of local taxation, so as to relieve
the ratepayers by distributing the burden over the whole
property in the county. Petitions in compliance with
memorials from the county and Banbury Chambers of
Commerce were also adopted, praying Parliament to take
the subject of local taxation into its early consideration.
Mr. Newdegate, M.P., supported the memorial to the
Government.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

train, which passed over him. He was crushed to death,
his body being literally cut to pieces.

A BACHELOR'S VIEWS ON CELIBACY.

Tbe correspondence in the Daily News upon
" English Homes and Housewives" has called forth
opinions from almost every class cf people who have
time to write about married and single domestic life,
and the various mistakes people of a matrimonial
disposition are subject before and after marriage.
One of the most pungent of the letters is from a
bachelor, who signs himself "Forty Years," and
who looks upon wives as doubtful benefits
and positive cares. What he says is at
least amusing. He is not disposed to be hard upon
those who marry and who don't like it. They have,
in his eyes, enough to bear. He thoroughly believes,
however, in Thackeray's advice to young men, " wait
till you come to forty years, then you know the
worth of a lass." Having reached that age, the
bachelor feels justified in speaking his mind, ai:d
this ho does with no tender hand. " Women,"
he says, "so far as I am able to judge, are
of two kinds—the stupid patient drudges,
and the sharp-witted sympathetic companions
who claim equality and want to share your
pursuits.
,The latter are the most dangerous
and give most trouble. The former are only a dead
weight. The one is a passive, the other an active
bore, and whether with or without capacity for
cooking or taste for dress, it puzzles me exceedingly
to know what they can give in exchange for what
they exact." As he smokes his Havana, the bachelor
evolves fancy pictures out of all this correspondence
in the Daily News. It pleases him, and he is satisfied
that there is no limit to the good the revelations may
effect in the determination of men hovering on the
brink of matrimony, who now for the first time learn
the categcry of female faults and virtues from their
own lips. For himself lie is content to live on alone.
He is spared all anxiety respecting the fate of others,
and he can hold his own with married men who have
four times his means.

13ooic PUBLISHING IN 1870.

It has been remarked that a man who had been
absent from the world for a twelvemonth might
gather the history of the year from the register of
the books published. Thus in 1870 he would find,
first, a hcst of pamphlets on the land question in
Ireland, and accounts of the Council at Rome. Later
on he would meet with a host of biographies
of Charles Dickens, and then war publications,
without number Educational works, travels through
the Isthmus of Suez, and treatises on aeriel naviga-
tion, would enlighten him as ,to other points in the
year's history. Such as are disposed to carry their
analysis further will find some very curious
statistics in the Publishers' Circular. During
the year there have been 4,656 new books
and new editions published in Great Britain-
-3,377 new books and 1,279 new editions.
The books are divide ( into fourteen classes. Strange
to say, the largeit number of new books and new
editions come under the head of theology, sermons,
and works of that class, which number 811. Tho
next in amount is the dive of juvenile works and
tales, 695 ; educational, classical, &c., are 568; novels
and works of fiction, 381. In this class the propor-
tion of new editions to new works is the highest,
being 162. In poetry and the drama the average of
new editions is 134 against 212 new works, while,
in the class of travel it is lowest, being: only 52 new
editions against 245 new works. There is an increase
of 90 in the education division over last year, and a
reduction of 83 in fiction. The largest number of
new books in any one division is that of juvenile
books in November—Christmas presents, in fact.
The variations of the trade in the months are very
perceptible, November having 375, while August has
.only 159. The chief American importations were
theology and history.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1871.

THE SIEGE.

If we are to accept the information given by the
Times, the beginning of the end is near. The sur-
render of Paris is, according to that journal, a mere
question of days. It would be very hazardous
indeed to conclude thus rashly that capitu-
lation is at hand ; but it can hardly
be delayed many weeks longer. The utmost period
assigned by reasonable calculation has been until the
' beginning of March, and even if the defence terminates
a month sooner, all will have been done that could
rationally be expected. It is now a month since the
Germans discovered their grievous mistake in supposing
that the supplies in the capital must be exhausted by
the end of November. Add another month, and the
extent of the German error is fairly covered. The
Times' prophecy may be correct, but similar forecasts
have been made before by still more com-
petent authorities, and have come to nought.
The news from Paris is very unfavour-
able to the defence, but doei not point to
capitulation within a few days. The last sortie was
a lamentable failure. The Parisians were as much
puzzled to understand General Trochu's plan as
people outside were, and an unmistakeable feeling of
dissatisfaction with the commander was spreading
through the city. Fuel was even scarcer than food,
and some portions of the troops still behaved badly.

CHRISTMAS IN NEW ENGLAND.

The New Englanders, like the rest of the-civilised
world, have been keeping the great festival of.
Christmas, but they have celebrated in the same
week the memories of a body of men and women
who ignored Christmas altogether. The amliver-
sary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers
n Massachusetts Bay is a grand day for all New
England, and for Plymouth especially.. The Hon.
l!obei t Winthrop, descendant of one of the Pilgrims,
delivered the oration at Plymouth, where the great
central celebration was held, and a dinner in
the railway station and a ball in the evening
concluded the day. Fancy the. Pilgrims, old
or young, being honoured by a ball! -But then,
as an American journalist reminds us, they would
have been as much bewildered at the idea of a rail-
way, and the world must grow in one direction as
well as in another. .The Boston Advertiser takes
advantage of the occasion to inculcate the import-
ance of popular education. Much has been claimed
for the Pilgrim Fathers which does not belong to
them, it says. They did not bring with them freedom
of thought, religious toleration, or the equality of man,
but they brought the seed from which all these great
growths sprang, and they planted it when they com-
pelled every child to go to school. They founded
the school first, and the college after; and to those
two institutions America owes the Declaration of
Independence in the last century, and the Proclama-
tion of Emancipation in this. The moral will not,
it may be hoped, be lost on England.
London, England, 1871-01-04

THE TURKISH ARMY.

A correspondent of the Daily News at Constanti-
nople represents the Turks as fully convinced that a
war is impending (notwithstanding appearances of
friendship between the Ottoman and the Muscovite
Governments); and adds that they are making ready.
There are 000,000 breechloaders in the hands of the
troopi or in the depots, and 500,000 more are being
converted, and will be ready in the spring. The field
artillery numbers 2,000 rifled guns. Of mitrailleurs,
200 of Gatlings, 10-barrel, have been ordered, and
between 20 and 30 delivered at Tophana. The
.troops have acquired great proficiency in using them.
With financial support from England, Turkey does
not fear a single-handed encounter with Russia.

OSBORNE, Jan. 3.

Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by her Royal
Highness Princess Beatrice, drove out yesterday after-
noon, attended by the Hon. Flora Macdonald.
Her Majesty drove out this morning, accompanied by
Princess Christian and Princess Louise.

Prince Arthur and Prince Christian went out shooting
to-day.

THE CHANGES IN THE MINISTRY.

The Birmingham Post says Mr. Stansfeld refused to
accept the Postmaster-Generalship without a seat in the
Cabinet. The salary, £2,500 a year, is £5OO a year more
than Mr. Stansfeld receives as Financial Secretary of the
Treasury.
The transfer of the Irish Secretaryship from Mr.
Fortescue to the Marquis of Hartington (a Dublin cor-
respondent writes) will give satisfaction in Ireland. Mr.
Fortescue was popularly considered as a doubtful friend
to the principle of mixed education, which has a strong
hold of the minds of the independent political class. The
Marquis of Hartington, on the other hand, is believed to
be more firmly attached to it.

TIIE FENIAN PRISONERS.

At a special meeting of the Dublin Amnesty Associa-
tion, held in the rooms of the Mechanics' Institute—Mr.
Billy in the chair—the question of making provision for
the prisoners about to be released received a length-
ened consideration, after which the following reso-
lution was unanimously passed : Proposed by
Mr. D. Downey, seconded by Mr. J. Fleming—
That the Amnesty Association send an accredited repre-
sentative of their body to England to visit the various
prisons, and inquire individually from each prisoner his
personal wishes and wants ; that said representative be
instructed to send back a full and complete report cf the
specific desires of the prisoners; and that a public meet-
ing of the association be called for Wednesday evening,
the 4th instant, to lay before the Irish people a report of
said representative, to hear the audited accounts of the
association, and to resolve on what future course of action
will be most fitting under the circumstances. On the
motion of Mr. T. A. Hickey, seconded by William A.
Moroney, it was resoived—That the committee sit from
night to night pending the release of the prisoners, and
the communications constantly arriving relative to them.

BREECHLOADING GUNS FOR THE 'NAVY.

Captain Sherard Osborn expresses his astonishment
at the decisions of the Military Committee in favour
of muzzle-loading guns being employed for the fleet.
He protests against the conclusion that a muzzle-
loading gun is better for naval purposes than a
breechloader, and trusts that before they accept the
decision of the Committee the Admiralty will insti-
tute an inquiry on an extensive scale. He points out
that it would be well to wait a little longer
and profit by the practical tests now
being made by the Germans and the French.
Among the reasons why lie advocates the adoption
of breechloaders for the Navy, Captain Osborn says
that it is advisable to avoid the present dangerous
exposure of four men to a gun while loading at the
muzzle. A. breechloader gun also entails less labour
on the gun's craw. Another advantage of breech-
loaders is that no trouble is given by dragging the
gun in to load after recoil, and it can be so fitted that
it returns to its position when the recoil has expended
itself. He fears, however, that no arguments put
forward by a naval officer will be allowed to weigh
against the decision of the military authorities " in
asserting that for ship purposes a muzzle-loader is
superior to a breechloader."
