MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5,
lied Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years
this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing n. 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 hr.ve 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

THE BOMBARDMENT.

The cannonade upon the Paris forts has been
several days in progrers ; and reports from the
German lines furnish material for an estimate
of the result. So far the fire of the German
batteries has not done the French much harm.
It has neither damaged Paris nor caused any fright
to its population. A. few men must have been hit,
perhaps a gun or two knocked over, and divers houses
and light buildings must have come to grief. This,
however, is all. •The telegrams from German head
quarters report that this or that fort has been
" silenced ;" but the obstinate works always com-
mence firing again. We shall see if a longer can-
nonnade produces any effect.

44 INTELLIGENCE."

The difficulties of newspaper e Mord in obtaining
correct narratives of what goes on at the seat of
war deserve the sympathy of every well-regulated
mind. In the middle of December General Cbanzy's
army, after its admirable retreat down the Loire,
entered Le Mans to rest and recruit. Only two
Englishmen had the good fortune to see this arrival.
Both are newspaper correspondents. Both under-
stand military matters. Yet they are carrying on a
fierce controversy respecting the mere appearance
of Chanzy's men. One says they looked well
enough. The other declares that they reminded
him of the retreat from Moscow. " The horses
were mere skin and bone, and the men were
footsore and in rags, and were utterly unfit to
take the field again for many weeks. As to the re-
inforcements waiting at Le Mans, they were partly
recently raised Mobiles and partly Gardes
Nationales, or S&lentaires, armed with muzzle-
loaders. Many of the latter battalions were
without boots, and did their drill in sabots."
Great, indeed, are the difficulties of writing history

GENEEAL VINOY.

General Vinoy, who is second in command of the
Army of Paris, was, it seems, a warm friend of Sir
Colin Campbell (Lord Clyde). The two soldiers
fought side by side in the Crimea, and the friendship
existing between them was so well known that
portraits of General Vinoy and Lord Clyde were
hung up together in the Royal writing closet at
Windsor. When the Indian commander-in-chief
died in 1863 the following passage was found
inscribed in his will I give and bequeath
to Lieutenant-General Vinoy, commanding a division
in the French army, and my old and beloved com-
rade in the Crimea, the sum of £5OO as a token of
my especial esteem and regard." General Vinoy
is in far more favour with the troops within the
besiege•] city than either Ducrot or the Governor
himself.

M. JULES FAVRE.
Should M. Jule€ Favre arrive to take part in the
Conference, the Loni!on Democrats intend to give

him a reception worthy of the occasion. It
is hoped to get the sailors who formed the
crews of the ships sunk in the Seine, and incorporate
them in a procession which is to accompany M.
Favre from Charing Cross to Hyde Park. A British
ensign, surmounted by the words " Trodden on by
King William and Bismarck," and flanked at either
side by the inscriptions " The Flag that Braved a
Thousand Years," and "Britannia Rules the Waves,"
will be carried by sailors. Sailors from the vessels in the
London docks are to accompany "the outraged flag."
It seems, then, that there is every probability of the
emblematical becoming an important element of
future political strife. When British working men
obtain seats in the House of Commons, we
may expect that they will follow the example of an
M.P. in the last century, who, in order to illustrate
the wretched condition of the poor in his district,
came into the House dressed in a most fantastic
Costume, and bearing a piece of bread as hard as a
brick. And if the future working men M.P.'s
can by any contrivance (but it is to be !eared they
cannot) get up some imitations of Whitechapel or
Wapping habitations, they may produce a good
effect. The, pictorial representations contemplated
on the occasion of M. Favre's arrival are, however,
' out of place. There is no proof that the Germans
did any wrong in sinking the ships, and if they did,
they have professed their willingness to make
reparation. .

telegraphed to any part of the United Kingdom where there
is a postal telegraph Office.

CHELSEA HOSPITAL.

Sir C. Trevelyau takes up the cause of the Chelsea
pensioners, whose interests, he thinks, are not safe in
the hands of the War Office. The principle that old
men are better with their families and friends than
in colleges has been firmly established and carried
out with great success at Greenwich. But instead
of the Secretary •of State settling the matter at
Chel ea himself; lie refereed it to a committee of the
old school, who reported that the minimum age of
admission should be raised from 50 to 60, and some
reduction made in the administrative staff of the
hospital. The monastic character of the in-
stitution is admitted to be a drawback, but the
committee think it may be mitigated by an
arrangement allowing a proportion of married pen-
sioners to be accommodated in the hospital with
their wives. Sir C. Trevelyan is especially indig-
. mint with the remark of the committee that the
appointments of Governor and Lieutenant-Governor
are coveted rewards in the army, and thinks the
"rich cluster of comfortable places " lies
had a great deal to do with the prevail-
ing desire to keep Chelsea Hospital to its
present use. He thinks it would be far better to con-
' vert the ranges of public buildings at Chelsea and
Greenwich into places where the whole of the house-
hold troops might be quartered under the immediate
personal command of their officers. This would
avert many evils now complained of, and the
valuable sites at present occupied for military pur-
poses, in London might be turned to other accounts.

HORSES FOR THE BELLIGERENTS.

The horse trade is profitable just now. So great
is the demand caused by the war, so eager are the
French. Government agents to lay their hands on all
the suitable horses they can find, that no private
purchaser stands a chance in the competition. It is
estimated that since the commencement of the war
upwards of 15,000 horses have been shipped from
Southampton for the use of the French. Agents
attend at the principal horse marts throughout the
kingdom, Manchester and Liverpool being largely
patronised, while many animals have also been
shipped from Ireland. It is stated in
a German paper that many horses are
bought in England for Germany ; and there can
be no doubt that large purchases are made in Austria
for the Prussian Government. It may reasonably
be questioned whether there is any real difference
in point of principle between the exportation of
arms and of horses. A cannon is of no use without
the horses to drag it, and it avails little to import
carbines for cavalry unless they have also the means
of mounting. Horses, like arms, are of direct assist-
ance to the belligerents, though there may be a
difference of degree.

HE StliN, LONDON THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1871.

when two correspondents, who ought to know what
they are about, cannot agree as to what an army only
looked like. Chanzy's men undoubtedly fought well
during the retreat, however miserable they looked
when it was finished. A long winter march is not
calculated to improve the appearance of soldiers, and
p ssibly the troops, who cut a wretched
figure immediately upon their arrival, may have
soon recovered with a little rest. But the difference
between these two observers goes further, for one
declares that the new levies at Le Mans were
virtually useless, whilst the other tells quite a
different tale.

A UNIVERSITY AT STRASBOURG.

Strasbourg, which the Germans now regard as one of
their own cities, is destined, it seems, at the conclusion
of peace to become the seat of a Teutonic university in
lieu of the present incomplete academy, in which
only three faculties are represented. The arrange-
ments for the restoration of the library on a corres-
ponding scale have already made some progress. The
North German universities have been empowered by royal
decree to present it with all duplicate copies usually
disposed of by sale, and valuable contributions are ex-
pected from Konigsberg, Bremen, Dresden, and Gottin-
gen, as well as from Munich, Vienna, and the
Scientific Society of Leipsic. Assistance has
been promised by all the great German publishing
firms at home and abroad, and no effort
will be spared to render the collection worthy
of the city in which printing was invented, and where
Goethe completed his academical studies. It may, there-
fore, be expected that under her new rulers the ancient
glory of Strasbourg, as a seat of learning, will be shortly
revived; but many years must assuredly elapse before
the good German professors, for all their scientific reputa-
tion, will be welcomed to the new university by the
students of Alsace.—Globe.

COURT-MARTIAL.

Maurice William Pall, midshipman, and Frederick
Alexander Baig, navigating midshipman, of the Donegal,
were tried by court-martial yesterday morning, at Devon-
port, for deserting from that ship, on July 27th, in
Simon's Bay. The prisoners were missed early in the
morning, and their description was issued and sent
ashore, and a warrant was issued for their apprehension.
The Donegal left on August 3rd without them.
The prisoners, in defence, said they had no intention
of deserting, because they had taken no clothes with them.
The day after their desertion they were prepared to re-
turn, but their dread of the consequences kept them away.
They urged that they were unacquainted with the rules
of the navy, and did not know what amounted to deser-

tion. They returned to Cape Town on August sth, and
found that the Donegal had gone. At the Cape they
were confined in the hulk Seringapatam, and were brought
home in the mail steamer Saxon. Taking into considera-
tion their confinement in the Seringapatam, the Court, of
which Captain Coode, of the Royal Adelaide, was presi-
dent, adjudged the prisoners to be dismissed the service.

KEEPING FINS.

We are told that before any Paterfamilias should
have the temerity to rear a hen-house on his premises,
in thehope that he shall have fresh eggs every morn-
ing for his family, a certain amount of know-
ledge is necessary. In the columns of a con-
temporary the - question how to make hens
profitable has been discussed with a spirit t at might
never have been expected from a hen-puked class.
One amateur fowl proprietor paints over his own hen
house the words " Wring out the old, Ring in the
new," an I declares the motto to be his guide of
lite in the matter. If the necks of the old hens are
wrung off and their places supplie l annually by
young chickens, " care and food " will do the
rest, and hens will be profitable to any man.
Another correspondent has been experimentalising
on the hens themselves. He has twelve pullets,

which in one month produced 285 eggs, so we can
have no hesitation in hearing this man's counsel, and
tllcing it to heart. "By wa) of experiment" he
ceased on the Ist of the month to give " artificial
warmth " and " stimulating food " to his twelve
pulleys, and the result was that the fowls
far from averaging nearly ten eggs a day,
reduce 1, in an apparently philosophical mood, the
number of their eggs gradually to one half. On the
evening of January Bth this gentleman " returned to
artificial warmth and stimulating food," and so on
the 9th the twelve pullets laid seven eggs, and
looked as if they would enlarge the number to eight
on the following day.

defensive ; but even then you will have no conception of
the natural advantages of the ground. I have already
said that the fields are small and the lanes narrow, but
now must be superadded this most important fact, that the
fields are enclosed off from such lanes by what are literally
natural trenches. In fact, I never saw artificial ones half
so good or so complete. Not unoften it happened from
this circumstance that a field was a ready-made redoubt,
not to be won by any attacking force from resolute
holders of it save at a terrific sacrifice of life on the
part the former. That a thousand Kafirs or Maories,
armed with weapons of precision, and led with ordinary
savage intelligence, would have held any square mile of
such territory for days, if not for ever, against such an
attack as was yesterday directed against it, I cannot doubt.
Why, then, did not the French ? I cannot say. True, the
snow tells a tale very plainly, and before the day was over
the conviction was forced upon my mind that thousands
of human footsteps had fled, paniostricken, like
creatures ferce naturce, and therefore not resolute, from
wood to wood, from field to field, from lane to lane, firing
without aim, or probably not firing at all. Yet twenty
corpses, at most regular intervals, and in a straight line
along the inside of a hedge, and not more than 250 yards
in length, shewed demonstrably that some stout hearts
had stuck to their posts and been killed holding them.
And killed from in front they could not have been. The
perfect character of their position made that impossible,
They were under the most admirable cover conceivable ;
and after slaughtering their hecatombs, if hundreds had
persisted in coming on, they might have cut across the
field at their backs when they found that the enemy was
approaching, even faster than true arm and quick aim
could slay them; and then, if slaughtered themselves, it
would have been in said field, and in dots, just as they
happened to fall. But these twenty fellows, all of the
line, were despatched, every man of them, behind
his natural trench. What is the inevitable con-
clusion? Surely that they had been surmised.
outflanked, fired at point-blank from behind, before they
were in the least aware that a hostile barrel was pointed
at them. But this firm and fated twenty lay alone. I
saw no other proofs of such wholesale steadfastness, if it
is not to be spoken of as wholesale blindness. Where
were their officers ? Who led them ? Who directed

them? Again, I can only declare Ido not know and
cannot guess. Only, taking in view the whole scene, such
patent marks of faint feet and feeble heads were surely
never before written on tell-tale snow.
