THE APPROACHING ECLIPSE.

The refusal of the English Government to appoint
an expedition for the purpose of observing the
coming total eclipse of the sun has created much
dissatisfaction in scientific circles. Arrangements are
being made, it is said, for a deputation to wait upon
Mr. Gladstone in order to urge the importance of
carrying out the expedition. The illiberal conduct
of the Government is contrasted with the generous
behaviour of the American Legislature, which has
appropriated £6,000 'for the purpose of taking
observations which will prove highly valuable.
The American astronomers will be divided into two
parties—one will observe in Sicily and the other in
Spain. The decision of the English Government is
the more regretted because of the inability of France
or Germany under existing circumstances on the
continent to furnish expeditions.
London, England, 1870-10-29

LORD ELCHO AND AN ARMY RESERVE.

An army reserve, according to Lord Elcho, is a
need too clearly admitted. In a letter to the papers
he refers to different periods of our history in proof
of the fact that through a scarcity of men trained
for service our war power has been crippled and
limited, and often, too, in the midst of our best
military successes. As he looks upon legislation in
the matter as inevitable, his lordship summarises
the attempts made of late years to form reserves,
and he enters into the causes of the failures on such
occasions. Such unsatisfactory results as have here-
tofore attended a movement in this direction,
ought to make us more intent . upon assuring a
certain and sufficient supply of men for our regular
army ; a supply which we certainly have not. Our
system of recruiting, Lord Elcho considers, is the
chief blemish in the military system. It ought to
be at once remodelled. Costly as it has
always been, it has ever proved itself insufficient to
command the man market. There are but two
ways, he holds, of obtaining a supply of men for the
Army or Army Reserve—compulsion or temptation;
in other words, conscription or pension. The new
Enlistment Act adopts neither. It eschews conscrip-
tion, and gives no pension to the soldier on the
completion of his twelve years' engagement for army
and reserve service. The plan which appears to Lord
Elcho to give most promise of success is the one
suggested by Sir Hope Grant, and brought last year
before the House of Commons. It rests, his lord-
ship observes, on a system of pension that cannot but
be gratifying to the troops, and it combines long
enlistments with short periods of service.

THE TERMS OF PEACE,

The Berlin correspondent of the Times, in a letter dated
October 26, says : Lord Granville's suggestions respecting
an armistice are not likely to lead to any very rapid
results. He, discreetly abstaining from definite proposals,
contented himself with directing the attention of the bel-
ligerents to the possible consequences of a bombardment,
which perhaps might be avoided by the convention of a Con-
stituent Assembly. As to the terms of the armistice, he left
them for the belligerents themselves to settle. But here
is the difficulty, and as Germany will not consent to a
truce unless a cession of territory is_ conceded
by France in principle, the negotiations came to
a standstill before they had fairly begun. Unless
telegraphic correspondence between the various Courts
has succeeded in improving the aspect of things within
the last twenty-four hours, we are, I am afraid, not
much nearer an arrangement now than when M. Favre
took leave of Count Bismarck three weeks ago. In thus
insisting upon their original terms, the Germans are
actuated not so much by a wish to commence active
operations against Paris as by the apprehension that if
allowed a respite of several weeks to arm and drill,
the Mobiles will give them a deal to do should
the armistice expire without peace being declared. Paris,
they hold, will be starved out before the end of the year,
whether attacked or not, the armistice making little
difference in this respect ; but if the Mobiles and Francs-
tireurs have time given them to organise fresh regi-
ments and receive some military education, they
may, with the facilities they possess for drawing
arms from the greatest manufactories in the New and Old
Worlds, possibly develope into a force sufficiently large
and respectcble to entail another month's fighting. But
to resume guerrilla warfare in the midst of December,
and sacrifice some more thousands ot their gallant troops
in forced marches and bush-fighting, is an unpleasing
prospect to the German commanders, however little they
may doubt the ultimate issue of the campaign.

COMPULSORY VACCINATION.

At a meeting held at Northampton last night, to con-
sider the best means to adopt to obtain a repeal of the
Compulsory Vaccination Acts, a memorial was adopted to
the Royal Commission upon the question, and a deputa-
tion appointed to wait upon Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Charles
Gilpin, senior member for the borough, was present, and
addressed the meeting, and expressed an opinion in
favour of vaccination not being compulsory. He assured
the meeting that the Royal Commission about to sit
would be carried out in such a way that the subject would
be fully ventilated. He also said magistrates must not be
blamed for carrying out the law, as they were compelled
to do so.

THE GOVERNORSHIP OF MADRAS.

The Governorship of Madras will fall vacant on the
expiration of Lord Napier's term of office, though,
according to the Indian papers, there is a strong
desire for his reappointment. Should he retire,
however, Sir Hercules Robinson, now Governor of
Ceylon, is spoken of as his successor, and speculations
are rife as to the future Governor of Ceylon. Mr.
Pope Henesay, now at Labuan, Mr. Ayrton,. and
Mr. Gregory, M.P. for Galway, are among the can-
didates mentioned, but it is improbable that a
Liberal Government would select the first, and the
second is said to remain constant to his Tower
Hamlets constituency. Mr. Gregory is, therefore,
considered the more likely candidate. Mr. Ayrton
thinks he cannot well be spared, and certainly his
absence would produce a calmness in the Lower
House which would seem remarkably strange after
late experience. He is not easy to get rid of. The
Government may wish to transport him to Madras
or anywhere else, but two parties are needed to a bar-
gain of the kind.

A. FRENCH MONARCHY ANTICIPATED.

The Siecle has a very severe article on the want of
energy in Ministerial quarters. When the Republicans, it
says raised the sovereign power from the dust their first
duty was in regard to the foreign invaders. It was
necessary to organise the national defence, pro-
vide for the public service, secure order, and
restore in some measure the public confidence.
The flagrant incapacity of the Imperial Government
had pushed France to the borders of an abyss from which
she could only be rescued by obtaining the assistance of
all parties. Accordingly no government ever opened the
door more widely to aIL But the door has been allowed
to remain so wide open that all ambitions have found an
entrance, and we are flooded by place hunters and
such characters, who choke up the avenues to power.
Nothing is changed in the Imperial institutions excepting
a few men at the head of affairs. No doubt
the first thoughts of M. Gambetta and his col-
leagues were directed to the war, and the noise
of arms prevents them from hearing the counsels of their
friends, but it is necessary to look to the future, and to
take care that the Republicans, after exhausting them-
selves in efforts to save their country shall not find that
they have carried self-abnegation so far as to work for a
monarchial reaction. It is time to guard against this.
The feeling in the rural districts is deplorable. Why has
nothing been done to enlighten them as to the actual state
of affairs ? It is no unusual thing to see even in the
streets of our towns mob orators declaring amidst the
applause of the people that the Prussians have been paid
to come into France. The people are ignorant and
startled by the extraordinary catastrophes of the last two
or three months, and understand neither the fall of the
empire nor the cause of it, nor the future of the country,
nor the condition to which it is reduced in any case.
Enriched not only by commerce, but by the unmeasured
consumption of a capital in which corruption, fraud, and
stock-jobbing were the order of the day, the country
people sold their productions at fabulous sums. They
required little themselvei from the towns they
overcharged, and what they most needed—iron,
clothing, agricultural implements—did not increase

in price. Consequently, the demands of the
food producers daily increased, to. the impoverish-
ment of the workman and the citizen, and a reaction
would have been inevitable even had the Empire lasted.
As it is they understand the matter so little that they
attribute the sudden and forcible stoppage of their accus-
tomed profits to the Republic. If care be not taken, the
thousand trumpets of the monarchy and the clergy will
assist, and the deception of the rural districts will be
turned to account. Universal suffrage will be turned
against the Republic, on the ground of the losses of the
peasantry. Some pretender will be put forward, and
France one fine morning will find herself under a
monarchy.

THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

Dr. Lankester protests against the principle that
only those persons already acquainted with the details
of the present educational system should be placed on
the new school boards. When we are told by the Bishop
of Manchester that a full third of our present schools
are useless, if not pernicious, he thinks it is high
time that the whole system of education should be
looked into by those who will come fresh to the
inquiry, unencumbered with the ideas that have led
to such disastrous results. The class of persons
wkom Dr. Lankester would like to see in power
over schools, would be those who are best known as
cultivators of science amongst us ; and taking this
view he praises the selection of Professor Huxley and
Miss Elizabeth Garrett as candidates for one of the
most populous London districts. Among the ques-
tions that will have to meet with earnest attention
from the governing bodies of the new schools, if they
are to be an improvement upon the old, Dr. Lankester
maintains will be the sanitary condition of the
institutions, the times of study set apart for young
and untutored heads, and the course of instruction
to be pursued in the different localities. ft is only
men and women of skill, and thought, and culture,
who can be expected to grapple with such subjects.

SUPPOSED WRECK.

A considerable quantity of wreck on picked up on
the Cornish coast, near Hayle, yesterday, amongst it
being the figure-head of a vessel six feet high, painted
slate colour, and representing a woman in a low body
dress, with shirt sleeves, gilded necklace and bracelet; a
name board with " Gen," evidently part of a word, in
gilded capital letters, a board with the words " Rept,"
" Geneva," painted roughly upon it, and supposed to
have been used to attract the attention of vessels,
also quantities of stanchtions, bulwark, and cabin work,
and other loose stuff painted light blue and white. There
has also been washed ashore a deal case, directed "A.
Merritt, Esq., 13th Regiment," a life buoy with the
names " Gurnock, Bibby, and Co., Liverpool," in red
letters ; some covers of whisky cases, marked "Dunville
and Co., Belfast," the end of a cat head, being the head of
a lion gilded, and the topmast of a large vessel. It is
thought that the ship which is thus gone to pieces was
outward bound. The only one on the books with which
the character of the wreck corresponds is the Geneva, of
Quebec, a new vessel of 988 tons register.

ENGLAND AND GERMANY.

Karl Blind, while disclaiming all sympathy with
Prussian Royal policy, considers that Earl Russell is
har,lly just to Germany. The German writer. assures
the English statesman that when he demands that this
free country should be protected from attack, his words
find a responsive echo among those who, from
long years of exile, find in England a second home.
But he considers that Earl Russell is repeating with
respect to Germany the same fault he committed
with respect to America. Is he now intent
on weakening the bonds of amity between
England and Germany as he formerly weakenep
,them between England and America ? Karl Blind
complains of Earl Russell's comparison of the revival
of the Luxemburg question to the unscrupulous act
of the Czar. I.uxemburg, in the estimation of Ger-
man patriots, never belonged to the King of Hol-
land. Luxemburg was an integral part of the
German Empire, and subsequently of the Confede-
ration, as much as Prussia herself, or as Baden
or Bavaria. The tortuous ways of the Prussian
Government do not alter the fixed standpoint
of German national right. A statesman of enlarged
views ought to see in the reunion of a German proL
•vince to the Fatherland a pledge for the mitinten-
ance of peace. Karl Blind takes the opportunity of
reproaching Lord Russell for employing language in
London, England, 1870-12-24

THE CONFERENCE.

The preliminaries of the Conference which is to
arrange a foregone conclusion are progressing satis-
factorily. The meeting will probably take place
about the middle -of January, and it is
lißely that the French Government will send
a representative, either somebody from Paris
or M. T niers. The latter may probably
be the chosen one. He is the most respectable
diplomatist connected with the Republican Govern-
ment, and it, moreover, appears that M. Gambetta
would be glad to find a job for him. • He
is suspected of favouring the knot of deputies
who are agitating for the convocation of a national
assembly; and it is al., least certain that he is an
Orleanist rather than a Republican. Ho regards
the Count of Paris as his lawful sovereign, and owns
but a hale allegiance to the one and indivisible
mistres,. Smiding him to a Conference which is to
do nothing that has not been already done would at
any rate keep him out of harm's way.
