Oxford crew in the University Boat Race :-1. Mr.
Woodhouse ; 2. Mr. Giles ; 3. Mr. Baker ; 4. Mr. Malan ;
5. Mr. Moss ; 6. Mr. Payne ; 7. Mr. Leslie ; Stroke,

yesterday afternoon. There was a large number of spec-
tators on the banks of the Isis.

THE ACTION AGAINST CAPTAIN PORTER.
The announcement that the jury had disagreed in the
case of Poynter against Porter was received throughout
Fermanagh with the greatest satisfaction by the Ennis-
killeners. It was a matter of much congratulation,
and at Lisbellaw, on Mr. Porter's estate, where
preparations have been made in readiness, great
rejoicings took place. Last night there was a grand dis-
play of fireworks, and bands played from Lisbellaw to
Belleisle Castle. Large crowds assembled at the Ely
station, expecting Porter, who was received with a
general ovation.

ROYAL ENGINEERS' REPORT.

The committee on the employment of officers of
Royal Engineers have given in their report. They
recommend the ailoption of regulations under which
the Public Works Department of India and all other
Government Departments in any part of the Empire
can obtain as many officers of Royal Engineers
as they may require. The regulations have been
approved, and are about to be put in farce. One of
the most important questions in connection with this
subject is the proposed establishment of a Civil
Engineer College in India to supply the wants of. the
Public Works Department. It has been urged
that no such expense or trouble is necessary if there
is an improved organisation of the Royal Engineers.'
This is a matter which will probably be discussed in
Parliament, but the report of the committee favours
the opinion that a more elastic system with regard to
the Royal Engineers would
.supply all existing
deficiencies.

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.

DIY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
At an epoch of such moment to the future fortunes of
Europe, I am especially desirous to avail myself of your
counsels.

The war which broke out in the month of July, be-
tween France and Germany, has raged, until within the
last few days, with unintermitted and likewise with un-
exampled force : and its ravages may be renewed, after
but a few days more, unless moderation and forethought,
prevailing over all impediments, shall sway the Councils
of both the parties, whose well-being is so vitally con-
cerned.

At the time when you separated, I promised a constant
attention to the subject of neutral obligations; and I
undertook to use my best endeavours to prevent the
enlargement of the area of the war, and to contribute, if
opportunity should offer, to the restoration of an early and
honourable peace.
In accordance with the first of these declarations, I have
maintained the rights and strictly discharged the duties of
neutrality.
The sphere of the war has not been extended beyond
the two countries originally engaged.
Cherishing with care the cordiality of my relations with,.
each belligerent, I have forborne from whatever miohb
have been construed as gratuitous or unwarranted inter
ference between parties, neither of whom had shewn
readiness to propose terms of accommodation such as to
bear promise of acceptance by the other.
I have been enabled, on more than one occasion, to con'
tribute towards placing the representatives of the to°
contending countries in confidential communication ; but,
until famine compelled the surrender of Paris, no further
result had been obtained.
The Armistice now being employed for the Convocatign
of an Assembly in France, has brought about a pause In
the constant accumulation, on both sides, of human suffer
ing ; and has-rekindled the hope of a complete accointeP;
dation. I pray that this suspension may result in a POI
compatible for the two great and brave nations involved,
with security and with honour, and likely therefore I,'o
command the approval of, Europe, and to give reasonabi
hopes of a long duration,
It has been with concern that I have found niVell

Abridged Prospectus.—The Funerals Company proposes to
effect a reformation of the existing funeral customs, which are
so universally deplored. Its aim will be—by the employment
of unique and very superior hearses, and mourning carriages of
appropriately plain yet handsome and artistic design, with expe-
rienced attendants of high character and respectability, and by
dispensing with the customary professional pageantry and mean-
ingless display—to conduct funerals with a degree of solemnity
and decorum unattainable under the present system. The
Directors are so confident of the success of the undertaking.
established in a metropolis where more than 70,000 funerals are
taking place every year, that they and their friends have agreed
to take up 400 shares of the Company ; and they appeal for sup-
port to the good sense of all classes of the community.
The Articles of association and drawings of the hearses and
mourning carriages (registered) can be seen at the Offices of the
Company, where prospectuses and all further particulars can be
obtained.

TIIR ADMIRALTY.

Some of the papers have stated that Captain
Robert Hall, C. 8., is to succeed Vice-Admiral Sir
Spencer Robinson, as Controller of the Navy, and
much surprise has been expressed at the sudden an-
nouncement. The Controllership has usually been
held for live years, but in recent changes of the Ad-
miralty department that office has been
attached to that of a junior Lord,
and a new patent having been made out
for the existing Board, it would appear that the
Controllership is a place only terminable by the
revocation of the patent. Hence the astonishment
at the strange rumour of the gallant Admiral's with-
drawal from office. There has been, it seems, some
little quarrel between Mr. Childers and • Sir
Spencer Robinson which has apparently ripened
into a demand by Mr. Gladstone that the Controller
of the Navy should resign his post. As Sir Spencer
Robinson refuses to comply with the order unless an
explanation is given of the fault he is supposed to
have commited, the revoking of the patent will
no doubt be undertaken. It is probable
however, that the matter will be placed in the hands
of a committee of inquiry before any more decisive
step is made. A correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian says Mr. Childers is so indisposed that his
advisers on the whole are in doubt whether he should
proceed with his contemplated visit to the Mediter-
ranean.

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.

Either the French National Assembly must meet
with many of its seats unfilled, or time will be lost
in repeating some of the elections. It is customary
for the leading French politicians to stand for two
or three places at the same time, and not unfre-
quently are they twice chosen. On this
occasion the multiplicity of candidatures is
greater than over. General Trochu is nominated,
with or without his consent, in five places, M. Thiers
in four, M. Gambetta, M. Jules Simon, Garibaldi,
M. Laurier, and M. Steenackers in three, besides
many others in two or more. It is far from impro-
bable that many of these may be • chosen in two or
more places, and that when the elections are com -
pleted, a score of members will possess two or three
seats.

THE SIEGE OF BELFORT.

The determined resistance which Belfort ha
made against all the attacks of the Prussians is a
tribute to the genius of Vauban. Belfort is the
chief town of the Haut-Rhin, and is built at the base
of a rock which Vauban surrounded with fortifica-
tions. In 1852 this heroic little city numbered 5,689
inhabitants, its business was in a flourishing condition
previous to the war, and its trade was goo .l in wines,
clockmaking, and metallurgy. Belfort has belonged
to France since 1648, at which time it was given up
by the Austrians. Under the Restoration oue of the
numerous conspiracies of the time was organised
there by Colonel Caron. It is mentioned
in history as the Conspiracy of Belfort.
As it has been fiercely bombarded, Belfort is now
probably little more than a heap of ruins. It is
separated from the rest of France by a circle of iron
and of fire, but as a last example of the heroic re-
sistance of ancient times it defends itself vigorously.
Although Paris has fallen, Belfort still detains a
complete army of the enemy at the foot of its
inaccessible rock.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

OPENING OF THE SESSION.

The opening of a parliamentary session must at all
times be an event of th 3 greatest importance, but the
interest evinced in it is heightened as a matter of course
when the ceremony is performed by the reigning monarch
in perscn. This was the case on Thursday, and we have
no hesitation in saying that the event was looked
upon by all classes with even more interest
than has ever before been excited. This is
attributable to a variety of causes, but the most pro-
minent one was the fact that her Majesty for several pre-
vious years has been unable to personally take part in
the proceedings. The gracious intimation that this year
the Queen would be present at the opening of Parliament
'was received on all sides with the greatest delight, and
every desire was expressed to give her Majesty a warm
welcome after her lengthened seclusion.
Her Majesty, with the Princesses Louise and Beatrice
and Prince Leopold, attended by her suite, left Windsor
at five minutes past ten, by special train on the Great
Western Railway, and arrived at Paddington at twenty
minutes to eleven, en route for Buckingham Palace.
Beyond the Royal carriages, a few extra policemen,
and a detachment of Hussars, there was nothing to
indicate that the Queen was expected. There
were a few people around the entrance gates, and a hearty
cheer was given as the carriages drove off. Here and
there along the route to Buckingham Palace there were
small knots of people waiting, and as St. James's Park
was approached these knots became more frequent, and
her Majesty's reception was more enthusiastic. The
weather was delightful, the sun throughout the morning
shining brightly. After a short stay at Buck-
ingham Palace, her Majesty left at about half-
past one, for Westminster. The route was through
St. James's park and Parliament-street, and the
whole line was crowded with spectators, who gave vent to
hearty cheering, and waved hats and pocket-handkerchiefs
as the Royal carriages passed. Her Majesty arrived at the
House about two o'clock, and having gone through the
usual formalities, returned by the same route to Bucking-
ham Palace.

statesmen of eminence will be members of the
body. It will be constituted as follows; The Earl de
Grey and Ripon ; Sir Edward Thornton, our Envoy at
Washington; Sir John A. Macdonald, First Minister in

THE COMING MILITARY SESSION,

It has become abundantly evident during the past few
weeks that one of the most engrossing topics of the early
part of the Session will be the condition of our Army
and Navy, and that the attempts which have continuously
been made by the military section of the House of Com-
mons (nearly one-fourth of the whole) will be renewed
with great increase of vigour, under what they will deem
the peculiarly favourable circumstances created by the
present cond tion of European politics. For years past,
whenever the estimates have been presented to the
House of Commons by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, we have heard their horseleech cry. " Give !
give ! " With all the pertinacity of hungry and
even of greedy men, they have tried to persuade the
British tax-payer that unless he was willing to pay for
needless outlay more handsomely, there was nothing to
prevent his being gobbled up at a mouthful by the first
European ogre who might open his mouth at him. Re-
cently, we have had it dinned into us by journals under
the control, or, at least, the strong influence of the mili-
tary class, that for want of a big army John Bull's ancient
roar has grown too feeble to traverse the Channel which
divides him from the Continent, and that that terrible
thunder which was wont to make Europe shake in its
shoes whenever he shook his mane, and pawed with his
foot, and bellowed his displeasure, is now only an occa-
sion of laughter to the whole European world. Very
carefully and continuously have these military gentlemen
and their sympathisers in the press been preparing their
ground for what will prove to be, we fear, the most despe-
rate attack on the British tax-payer that has been made
for years. The tax-payer must therefore look out. It is
the huge misfortune of this country that ;we have a large
and influential class who are directly interested in war.
It is the only profession which to their notions, befits " a
gentleman." In fact, we have not had for years a war
bloody and deadly enough to let in more than a handful of
that crowd which is anxiously and clamorously waiting at
the door of the Horse Guards and the Admiralty. What
wonder then that we should hear the cry, alike from the
beleagured officials and the beleaguering expecta,nts,
More armaments ! A bigger army ! More supplies I
Larger estimates ! Wolf ! wolf ! Europe is on us, and
we shall all be piteously devoured.—English Independent.

£2,000 be given from the treasury of that body to the
