GUARANTEES OF PEACE.

Le Salut Public, a Lyons paper, thinks it is not impos-
sible that the King of Prussia may agree to an armis-
tice which will result in a peace, only he will exact gua-
rantees for the execution of the conditions of the treaty
to be made. In examining these .conditions and guaran-
tees it believes that for the present all tends to shew that
the King of Prussia has renounced the idea of annexing
Alsace and Lorraine. In fact these unfortunate pro-
vinces are treated by his officers as if they were conquered
countries, and there are no acts of violence or exaction
to which they are not subjected. It is
well known that Sovereigns do not pave the
way for annexation by devastation and by
committing acts calculated to produce feelings of hatred
and vengeance in the minds of the population. From all
this it may be inferred that the Prussians have at last
realised that annexation can only be the result of a coup de
force, whose effects would not last very long. The chief thing
to consider, therefore, will be the war contribution whose
figure must be discussed, and to which France will in all
probability submit with a good grace. As for the
guarantees, it is possible that King William may not
consider the Government of the National Defence suffi-
ciently strong to guarantee a treaty, but a Constituent
Assembly will shortly be convoked, and after the prece-
dents of 1848 this assembly can in some fashion improvise
a strong Government, asit will be founded on universal
suffrage. If King William is really desirous to come to
a pacific settlement, he will accord an armistice of suffi-
cient duration to permit the formation of a definitive
Government. M. Jules Favre's recent circular is well
calculated to inspire confidence, and if the Foreign
Cabinets and the King of Prussia resist such an appeal,
there will be nothing to look for but a desperate re-
sistance.

A PRUSSIAN RESTORATION

REFUSED BY THE EMPEROR,

The London Figaro publishes the following,
guaranteeing its authority : - Napoleon 111.,
iw
answer to the charge that he looks to Prussian Aid
to regain possession of the throne, indignantly re-
pudiates the proposal, let it come in what shape it
may.
Though such an offer is, perhaps, only in keeping
with the conduct of King William toward his illus-
trious captive ever since the capitulation of Sedan,
and is a recognition of his rights as the legitimate
Sovereign of France, the Emperor can only regard
it in the light of a premeditated blow, aimed at his
dignity and his honour.
We ;ire authorised to declare that neither the
Emperor, a prisoner at Wilhelmshohe, nor the
Empress-Regent, his legally appointed representa-
tive, will consent to recognise any Prussian agency
or interference between themselves and the French
people ; nor will either of them ever sign any treaty
of peace by which France shall lose one inch of her
territory.

LAW AND POLICE.

14. MEAN FELLOW.—John Sheppard, a labouring man,
was brought up at the Marlborough Street Police-court,
before Mr. Knox, charged with being drunk and dis-
orderly, and damaging a blacking box belonging to John
Beasley, No. 49, Shoe-black Brigade. Police-constable
170 E stated that on the previous afternoon he was in
Tottenham Court Road, when, seeing a crowd of persons,
he went up to ascertain the cause, and found that the
prisoner had broken a shoeblack's box and refused to pay
for it ; and as he was drunk and disorderly he took him
into custody. John Beasley, a sharp little fellow, said
the prisoner came up to him, and told him that if he
gave him a good polish he would give him 2d. After he
had done so the prisoner stamped on his box and broke it,
and would not pay him either for blacking his boots or
or for the damage done to the box. Mr. Knox said it was
disgraceful for a man to cheat a little boy like the com-
plainant, and he should fine him 40s. or a month. Mr.
Knox ordered the complainant to receive 2s. 6d. from the
poor-box, to recompense him for the damage done to his
boi, for which helhanked the magistrate.

THE NATIONAL BANK. —ln the chambers of Vice-
Chancellor Bacon, the suits of "Parker v. Sir Joseph
M`Kenna " and " Parker v. Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P."
were brought before Mr. Bloxam, Chief Clerk. The
plaintiff is the nominal representative of the National
Bank ; the first action is instituted on their behalf to
compel the restitution by the expelled director, of the
profits alleged to have been made by him and some of
his colleagues out of certain dealings and loans
in connection with the issue of the new share capital ; and,
second, for the restitution of the losses of £50,000 and
upwards, incurred by the bank from certain alleged
breaches of trust in the matter of Charles Lafitte and
Co. (Limited). A similar application was made in both
instances, it being on behalf of the defendants for an en-
largement of the time for filing affidavits of documents,
on the ground that the period previously allowed them
was entirely inadequate for the• purpose, having regard
to the serious nature of the issue.. The. Chief Clerk ex.-
' tended the time until the sth of November next.

THE OCCUPATION OF ROME.

The Daily News thinks the presence of the Italian
troops within the walls of Rome may denote a mere tem-
porary occupation, to be terminated by diplomatic
intervention, or it may mean, as we hope it does, that
Italy, seizing an unparalled opportunity, is re-
solved to put an end for ever to the Temporal
Power. The occasion which is now presented to the
Government of King Victor Emmanuel may' be
allowed to pass with the precious fruit ungathered,
and if this halting policy be chosen, it may well be
that such a golden hour will never come again.
The evident hesitation of the Italian Ministry to
advance upon the unprotected dominion of the Pope has
given some reason to believe that Pius IX., if he chose to
be for once politic and to make use of the advantage
which his position affords him, might readily come to
terms with his enemy. The only danger to be
feared is, that those terms might be too tender, that
his Holiness might be allowed to save a shadow at least of
his ancient sovereign authority, and to rule even yet as
Pope-King in the Leonine City. It has been assserted
on the best authority that the Italian Government
swayed no doubt by the fears and hereditary preposses-
sions of the King, have offered to treat with the Pope on
the basis of such an arrangement. If Pius and his advisers
were endowed with the smallest share of common pru-
dence, they would gladly embrace proposals so strangely
liberal.

THE GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE,

The Manchester Examiner considers that Napoleonism
is at an end, and to attempt to create a responsible body
out of the whole Senate and Corps Legislatif would be
like trying to galvanise the dead to life. The authority
capable of making a binding peace must be
found in an assembly elected by the people and
empowered to act on their be half. It is one of
the courses bequeathed by Imperialism that no
such body exists at this moment, and that the difficulty
of creating one is all but inseparable. There is reason to
fear indeed that if it were now assembled in Paris it
would most certainly refuse its sanction to any
such conditions of peace as were sketched by
Count Bismarck in his recent circular to the
diplomatic agents of the North German Confederation,
and hence, everything conspires to strengthen the belief
that whether or not the negotiations now going on be
formally broken off they will not lead to peace till
France has been brought a little nearer to the verge of
despair. To all appearance the siege of Paris will go on,
and it is evidently the intention of the enemy to push
forward operations with all possible vigour.

THE IRISH JOURNALS.

The Irish Times asks, Is the excessive aggrandisement of
Prussia fraught with no danger to England? That most
Englishmen's thoughts may not be inferred from their
Prussian leanings no power but Russia can -check the
future designs of Prussia, and if her acquiescence is
purchased by a quid pro quo England may regret that her
gallant ally of Crimea lies crippled.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23 (Evening.)

e
tireply of General de Wimpffen to a letter of the
des-de-Camp of the Emperor Napoleon. The
cli, 741 says, among other things:
tout, 48 note forwarded to Lthe Emperor was as
to -I": 'I have ordered General Lebrun to attemp-
tio pass through the Prussian lines in the direct
self of Carignan. Let your Majesty place your-
-1104 among his soldiers. They will consider it an
th:ur to open for you a passage.' The object for
ot biuvitation was to spare the Emperor the pain
of ing made a prisoner, and to make use
aio,7e' Prestige in order to facilitate a combined
thto raent, without which it was impossible to cut
pto tigh• The Emperor did not consent to that
Ithilosal, and ordered the white flag to be hoisted

an envoy with a flag of truce to the Prussian
Oclnarters. In spite of my protest and refusal

The discount market has been well supplied with
capital. There has been only a moderate demand for
accommodation, and three months' paper has been taken
at 24 to 2i per cent.
Messrs. Pixley, Abell, Langley, and Blake, thus report
on the state of the bullion market :—Of gold the arrivals
during the week have been comparatively small, but as
there is not the slightest demand for abroad, all amounts
go to the Bank, and about £493,000 has been sent in since
the 15th ir.st.

At a meeting yesterday of Bolckow, Vaughan, and Co.
(Limited), at Middlesborough, the directors resolved that
an interim dividend of 5 per cent. for the past half-year,
equal to £1 10s. per share, or 10 per cent. per annum,
Amid be paid on the 3rd of October.
The directors of the Great Western Railway of Canada
propose to recommend (subject to the auditors' examina-
tions) a dividend on the ordinary shares for the half-year
ended the 31st of July, at the rate of 4 per cent. per
annum free of income tax, which, after providing for
dividend on the preference stock and placing £2,000 to the
credit of ferry steamers renewal account, will leave £3,300
to be carried forward.

The Mauritius Land Credit and Agency Company,
Limited, has just issued it seventh annual report, which
congratulates the proprietors upon the continued success
of the company. The accounts annexed show a net profit
of £7,016 ; and the directors propose, after carrying
£2,000 to reserve, to pay a dividend of 2s. per stare, equal
to 5 per cent., for the half-year ended 30th June last.

ADMIRAL ELLIOT ON THE CAPTAIN.

Admiral Elliot, as an intimate friend and supporter
of the late Captain Coles, writes to the Times to de-
fend the opinion that a sea-going turret ship, with
a moderately low freeboard, can be constructed, and
prove a perfectly safe sea boat, while at the same
time it developes superior fighting qualities to any
ship with a high freeboard. Very erroneous con-
clusions have, in the Admiral's opinion, been drawn
from the recent tragedy. The general belief
appears to be that the Captain was capsized on account
of her low freeboard, hurricane deck, and top weight
of turrets; that turret ships, with moderately
low freeboard, are not qualified to carry , any
masts at all; that masts are
,essential to sea-going
cruisers, and that turret ships should be built without
masts as pure fighting ships, only available for a few
days run, and that for sea-going cruisers we must keep
to the high freeboard. Admiral Elliott dissents
entirely from these conclusions, and maintains that
want of stability was alone the cause of the disaster.

This was an error of construction, perfectly
apart from the design of the ship on
its general principles. Another Captain can,
he declares, be built with the same conditions of
freeboard and turrets and hurricane deck to carry
the same amount of canvas with safety. Ile does
not, however, advocate this, and would prefer re-
ducing the amount of roasting. Our merchant

navy sets the example that ships intended tor great
speed milder steam should have limited or auxiliary
sailing power, and it is from running counter
to this scientific requirement, that we have failed to
excel in any one point in the Royal Navy. With
more beam, or less masts and yards, the Captain
would, he thinks, have been perfectly safe. The
builders of the Captain knew they had competitive
trials in store, and were tempted to limit beam

to obtain a small midship section for speed at the
measured mile; secondly, to exaggerate the amount
of canvas for speed as a sailing ship;
thirdly, to raise the centre of gravity for
a steady platform. The Captain beat the other ships
on these three points, but they were all elements of
instability. Admiral Elliot concludes that the lesson
which this disaster should teach us as regards the
navy of the future is, that we should classify our
fleet, and I of attempt too much in one vessel,- but

1111%77 ROPO LITAN FIRES—(This Day).

Four fires were returned by Captain Shaw to the
Board of Works as having taken place in the me-
tropolitan district since 6 a.m. of the previous day.
One fire happened in the extensive premises be-
longing to Mr. H. Vickery, a wheelwright, carry-
ing on business at No. 548, Old Kent-road. It
commenced in a range of workshops 130 feet long,
and owing to the inflammable nature of the stock
in trade the flames in the course of a few minutes
extended over the entire building and rushed
through the roof. Numerous engines arrived and
plenty of water procured, but in spite of the exer-
tions of the firemen, the fire could not be cot
quered until a serious amount of property had been
destroyed, in fact the whole of the workshops are
reduced to a complete wreck. The loss will fall
upon the Atlas and Queen fire offices.
Another alarming fire also took place in the
premises, belonging to Mr. R. Aldridge, plumber,
&c., No. 10, High-street, Peckham. When dis-
covered the flames had taken the complete posses-
sion of the ground floor. The engines having been
sent for, they and the fire-escapes attended, and
the firemen went to work, but they were unable to
extinguish the fire, until the ground floor was
burned and the rest of the building severely da-
maged by fire, water, &c. Insured in the Alliance
Fire-office.

A very destructive fire took place in the carpen-
ters and builders' workshops, belonging to G.
Brown and Co., situate in the Old Ford-road. The
fire originated from some unknown cause in the
upper workshop, which was about 25 feet long and
15 feet wide. Before any attempt could be made
to extinguish it the flames broke through the roof
and rose high into the air. The lower floors were
saved, but the upper workshops were burned out.

THE GREAT EASTERN STEAMSHIP.

Some little anxiety is felt in the City by some of
the speculators in Submarine Cable shares at the
length of time which has elapsed since the Great
Eastern steamship has been heard of, now nearly
two months ago. It appeared that she left St.
Vincent, Cape Verd, on the 25th of November,
and some attention has been directed to the
fact that, though steaming nearly in the
course of homeward-bound vessels, she has
not been " spoken" by any vessel that
has since come into an English port. The
great ship was expected to touch at the Cape, where
she would probably stay a few days, taking in coal,
&e. The Cape mail, due here about the 28th
instant, will probably bring some tidings of her.
From the Cape the Great Eastern would shape
her course direct for Bombay, which post she was
expected to reach on the 20th inst., so that the
first news of her may perhaps reach here from
that point, though the existing telegraph, via the
Persian Gulf, works very irregularly. The British
Indian Submarine Telegraph and the Telegraph
Construction Companies are the joint owners of her
costly cargo, to be submerged between Bombay
and Aden.

AN E3IIGRATED PRISONER.

A. discharged prisoner, who was assisted to
eminate by the Sheriffs' Fund Society, has written
au
interesting
letter to the Ordinary of Newgate,
detailing his experience in the United States. Car-
penters, he says, get three dollars a day, smiths
three dollars, clerks from eighty to a hundred dollars
a month. " Living is as cheap as it is in England;
clothing is dearer. House-rent is dear in the cities,
but in country parts is cheap. I have a six-room
house and two acres of land for 5 dollars a month.
I can raise all I want, and some to sell." The dis-
charged prisoner sums up with the comment that
America is a place where a man, no matter of what
abilities, can get a livelihood, if he is only willing to
work.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.

Dr. Tait has so far recovered from his illness that
on Saturday he was able to remove from Stonehouse,
near Broadstairs, to Addington Park, Croydon.
The long attack, which has endured since
November 18, seems now substantially over-
come. Early in December the archbishop's
condition showed decided signs of improvement.
First, life gradually returned to the left leg, and is
now gradually returning to the left arm. his grace's
intellect has been perfectly clear and sound through-
out, and his voice has remained quite firm. During
the new year he has generally been able to take half
an-hour's walking exercise without aid, except from
a stick. But the physicians look upon a return to
work with much disfavour, and prescribe the whole
of 1870 as a period of rest. This is a long retirement,
indeed.

A PAROCHIAL WOMEN'S MISSION.

The Lord Chancellor writes to the Times on Denali
of an exceedingly interesting women's association
for calling forth self-help from the poor. The society
last year collected between £7,000 and £B,OOO from
the poor in some of the lowest districts of London,
and redistributed the money (which was gathered
chiefly in pence) in the shape of clothing,
bedding, and furniture, no bonus being added.
The organisation is very simple. A. small body of
"lady managers" overlook the whole work. To theirs
any clergyman desiring to establish a mission in his
parish applies, and guarantees a portion of the cost,
which. ayerages £3O a yaar for each mission. He
selects, subject to the approval of the managers, his
own mission-woman and a "lady superintendent" of
her labours amongst the lowest and poorest.
A room is procured, in which poor women
meet the lady superintendent, enjoy a little
cheerful reading, and work upon the articles
for which they have made weekly payments to tho
mission-woman at her visits to their homes. Lord
Hatherley adds that the mission-woman is selected
from a class very little, if at all, above that amongst
which she labours. She is thus acquainted with
their wants and
temptations. Though she distributes
no direct relief, it is her duty to make known
to the clergyman any cases of extreme or special
distress. and under Ais_slinctionsto cony out food.

RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

WHITE'S MOO-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions
of 1851 and 1862) is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective invention in
the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel
spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is here avoided—a
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Moc-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A
descriptive circular may be bad, and the truss, which can-
not fail to fit, forwArded by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the
manufacturer,

MALLOW.

Mr. Waters, Q.C., is actively canvassing for the
seat at Mallow, which Mr. Sulii:an's promotion to
the bench leaves vacant. If Mr. Munster perseveres,
the battle will be of a triangular hind that will leave
an excellent chance for Major Knox, the Conserva-
tive, who enjoys a large share of popular support.
And it is generally expected that Mr. Munster will
persevere, although his address is not yet out. This
election promises to be of that specially lively and
entertaining kind for which Irish boroughs in the
South are so famous.

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND Ttir COMMERCIAL

TREATY'.

The Echo makes an important announcement if it
be well founded. It states, on what it designates
"good authority " that the French Government have
no intention of giving notice with reference to the
Commercial Treaty with England next month.
If this be true it may be assumed that no
change can take place for at least two years ; for
by the terms of the treaty a year must elapse after
the notice given at the time fixed. The Reciproci-
tants will have here a hard blow. The English
Government has not been convinced by their argu-
ments, and is certain not to give notice concerning
the treaty.

THE DUBLIN CONFERENCE ON THE LAND.
The committee charged with the getting up of
the conference on the land question are doing their
best to bring off a successful demonstration. But
it appears that they are hampered in their efibrts by a
misunderstanding with Mr.Butt,president of the Ten ant
League. The Freeman said that Mr. Butt was asked
to join in the meeting by which the conference was
convened ; Mr. Butt replies that no such request was
made to him, and he did not, therefore, decline it.
Touching the merits of this case, the world may be
content to remain in ignorance ; but the little
controversy has clearly shewn that there is
no great harmony as to the policy of holding the
conference. Some tenant-righters are afraid that
they may be committed to the Government scheme
before its nature is divulged.

A CABLE TO lilE CHANNEL ISLANDS.

Hitherto our insular possessions in the Channel
have been dependent upon a submarine cable to
France for their early English news. A project is
now on foot for remedying this defect by laying a
wire from Jersey to Guernsey, and thence to Start
Point, in Devonshire. It is proposed to lay the cable
at the cost of the projectors, and keep it in repair for
three years, on a guarantee of the islands to secure
them 10 per cent. on the outlay, should the revenue fall
below that amount. At the end of that time the Govern-
ment will take the line, if it be in good working order.
It is is to be hoped that the financial position of " the
islands " is improving, so that their guarantee may
be worth something.

THE WHEAT CROP.

An interesting time for farmers has just arrived.
The wheat is now almost generally appearing above
ground. Its progress is eminently satisfactory. Not
a single complaint has been made with regard to the
plant. The ground is wet, but not wet enoiigh to hurt
it very seriously. The frost has not bitten. Indeed,
the chief fear is that the weather will be too warm.
Some cold is wanted to check tJo rapid gowth. In
sheltered nooks (according to the Magnet) the plant
is too forward for this time of year. Our own in-
formation fromWiltshire is that the fields look " very
fair ;" wheat is "getting on nicely."

and Chicago also struck to support their San Francisco

and other places, have resolved to join the strike n-liss

MERIONETHSHIRE.

The victory of the Liberals in Merionethshire is to
be attributed to the effect of the Reform Act of
1867, which has been everywhere in favour of the
Dissenting party in Wales. In 1868 the late Mr.
Williams (Liberal), was returned without a contest ;
but in 1865 Mr. Wynne (Conservative) defeated Mr.
Williams by 610 to 579 votes. On the present occa-
sion Mr. Holland gains 1,605 votes, and Lieutenant..
Colonel Tottenham 960.

MR. WHALLEY, M.P.

Mr. Whalley is an incomprehensible to Merioneth-
shire. The people don't understand him. Neither
Liberals or Conservatives know what to make of him ;
for he professes the strongest attachment to both.
Colonel Tottenham, the defeated Conservative candi-
date, was promised by him " every assistance ;" and was
told that Mr. Gladstone was " a dangerous man," that
the Liberal candidate's address was an unsatisfactory
ole. In fact, Mr. Whalley would have been very
happy to see Colonel Tottenham raturned.
But there was a prior attachment. Another
" dear charmer " put in a claim ; and
Mr. Whalley was not allowed to be happy
with either. The Liberals wanted to know what
the member for Peterborough meant. Ho replied
bf special messenger, with commendable promptitude,
that he was indeed a "Liberal at heart." He did
not wish the Conservatives success. He was the
friend of Mr. Holland, the Liberal. Which is Mr.
Whalley's friend ?

CO-OPERATION IN MANCHESTER.

Lancashire seems the very home of co-operation.
In no English county does it flourish better. The
success of the Rochdale stores has been continually
remarked ; and Manchester is not very far behind
its neighbour. At the annual meeting in con-
nection with the Manchester and Salford Equitable
Co-operative Society, held on :Saturday evening, it
was reported that the operations and business had
extended to -nearly £70,000 annually, with nearly
4,000 members, ten shops, in addition to a large store,
and realised capital of £30,000. These sums do not,
perhaps, represent all that might be done ; but they
shew, nevertheless, that co-operation is succeeding
in the North.
