THE WEST AFRICAN MAIL.

By the arrival of the African mr;l news comes
that the natives of Congo having shot the
supercargo of an English bark H.M.S. Pert
subsequently burnt the villages belonging
to the natives. The French officials had
removed the buoys marking the entrance to the
Gaboou river. The brig Locomotive blew up in
Opobo river, killing a number of natives. The
Bonny and Opobo dispute continues.

PROPOSED CONGRESS OF THE NEUTRAL

POWERS.

FLORENCE, November 12 (5.15 p.m.)

According to authoritative information received in
Florence, Count Beust has refused to associate the
Austrian Government with the Cabinets of England
and Italy in proposing a Congress, founding his de-
clinature on the opposition which such a proposal
would meet on the part of Prussia.
BRUSSELS, November 12.

The Independance Beige publishes a despatch from
Tours, announcing that, accorling to the journal La
France, the neutral Powers, desirous of stopping the
war, are about to put forward a proposal for a Oon-
gress. Other despatches assert that the initiative is
taken by Russia.

STRANGE ACCIDENT THROUGH AN ESCAPE

OF GAS.

Yesterday the gas from the main escaped through a
drain into two small houses in Moon-crescent, Dewsbury-
road, Leeds, and in one of them caused the death of an
old woman named Wood, and her daughter, aged 20, who
were in bed at the time. In the other house two children,
aged respectively six and four, were suffocated. Their
parents were found almost in the same condition, and are
now in the infirmary in a precarious state.

POST OFFICE LETTER-CARRIERS.

,The recent manifesto of the Chief of the Postal
Department has, it seems, not answered the purpose
intended. The letter-carriers still complain of the
inadequacy of their wages, and see their duties inces-
santly increasing. The public, too, which has an
interest in the men being satisfied, has not been
deceived by the official proclamation ; and it is ex-
tremely probable that the demands of the carriers, who
are acknowledged to be deserving men as a body, will
be acceded to in deference to popular opinion. It is
suggested that the labours of the postmen would be
less burdensome were vans used, as in Edinburgh,
to tarry the men to their respective districts. This
arrangement would also effect a considerable economy
of time in the delivery of letters.
London, England, 1870-11-14

BA ZA I NE.

Bazaine's reputation does not improve as his
actions are. more clearly examined by military critics.
It happened, fortunately for the interests of truth,
that.the correspondent of the Manchester Guardian
was shut up in Metz; and the evidence of this
writer, - the only strictly impartial witness
who has yet. turned up, is far from
favourable. The military critic of the Saturday
Review holds, indeed, that the correspondent's story
conclusively condemns the general. • No sortie after
September Ist shewed the least real design to break
through the German lines. This is the testimony not
only of -the imprisoned writer, but of the officers
escaped into Belgium, and even of the
contributors to the German press. There
cannot be the least doubt, remarks the
Saturday Review, that the political state of
France, and the supposed prospect of an Imperialist
restoration, were the key to this inaction. Bazaine
could have got out to the last if he had chosen.
The effort would have been costly, but it must have
succeeded :

"To suppose that the bulk of the men could not hav4
escaped by being massed before some portion of the
twenty-five miles circuit held by the Germans, suffering
much themselves, and not half again as many in number,
and that having once cleared it, the troops of Bazaine, if
distributed beforehand into separate columns under picked
officers, to take different routes of flight, could not in
great part have got clear off, is to suppose that all French-
men are mere poltroons, unworthy of the name of soldiers,
and unfit to near uniform"'

THE NEW ZEALAND WAR MEDALS.

An official order from the Admiralty notifies that
all officers and men of the Royal Navy and Marines"
who served during the disturbances in New Zealand
in 1845, 1846, and 1847, and between the years 1860
and 1866, and to whom medals have not been given,
can now apply for them at Whitehall. It is some
satisfaction to know that the honourable decoratioq

thus held out by the Admiralty will be
given even to ship's boys .who can produce
a certificate of their service on board any of the fol-
lowing vessels, while in New Zealand waters :—The
Brisk, Castor, Calliope, Cordelia, Guava, Driver,
Eclipse, Esk, Falcon, Hazard, Harrier, Inflexible,
Iris, Miranda, North Star, Niger, Osprey, Pelorus,
Racehorse, the East India Company's steamer El-
pl•instone, and the colonial steamer Victoria. It is,
however, rather hard that the medal should be with-

Held from the families of many brave seamen, who

have died since January, 1869, the date when it was
first intimated in the Gazette that the distinction of
a New Zealand medal would be granted. if the
Admiralty are tardy in recognising important services
of sailors and marines far away from home—services
rendered" even so far back as 1845—is that any
reason why the families of men who fought gallantly
for the navy, and for the country, should not rejoice
in the possession otsuch a token ?

RUSSIA AND THE TREATIES OF 1856.

The Yorkshire Post of to-day (Monday) publishes the
following :—" We are given to understand that very grave
complications have arisen bet Ween this country and the
Government of the Czar. On Wednesday last the Rus-
sian Ariabassador waited upon Earl Granville, and handed
him in person a despatch from the Russian Government
amounting to a formal repudiation of the obligations of
the treaties of 1856. The communique of the Russian
Ministpuched in polite but positive terms, declared
that the treaties had been violated by the consolidation of
the Roumanian. PrOvinces, and that in further negation
of their provisionii armed vessels had been permitted
by the Ottoman. Government to pass into and out of the
Black Sea. Russia accordingly claims a similar privilege
for her navy, and declares her right to maintain a naval
force in the same waters. She insists upon a revision of
the regulations of the treaties of 1856, and announces her
determination to abide no longer by their obligations. We
believe confirmatory despatches clearly indicating the
views and decision of the Prussian Cabinet, and the
attitude it has determined to assume, have been received
frOm the English Minister at St. Petersburg. These des.
patches show that the position assumed by Prussia in
reference to the eastern question is the result of full
deliberation and of a good understanding between that
country and Prussia. The Cabinet of the Czar appears
to have definitely fixed upon a line of action
which the despatch handed by Baron Brunnow to
Earl Granville has formally committed to Her Majesty's
Government. Reports have been for some time coming
in from our diplomatic agents in Russia, detailing the
strenuous efforts of the Government of that country to
push forward its military preparations. Large masses of
troops have been collecting in the southern provinces.
With a full knowledge of this state of things it may be
presumed that the incident of last Wednesday was not
quite, unexpected by our Ministers. We understand that
Mr. Odo Russell, the under Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, proceeded to Versailles, to ascertain the views of
Count Bismarck on the subject. An alliance offensive
and defensive between England, Austria, and Italy, in
the view of certain eventualities, but too likely to occur,
is said to be not improbable."

THE REPRESENTATION OF NEWPORT, ISLE

OF WIGHT.

It is expected that the writ for the borough of Newport
will be received to-day (Monday), and the election will
take place to-morrow and Wednesday. Both candidates
are pursuing their canvass in a very energetic manner.
London, England, 1870-11-14

A PIANO FOR SALE.

We have at larious Vines noticed an advertise-
ment, first in tho Hull, teen in the Newcastle, and

next in the Glasgow papers, relating to the sale of a
piano. The announcement always sets forth that a
lady, having to leave this or that town, is desirous of
selling her piano. Then follows a description of the
instrument, the selling price, and the original cost.
The initial of the advertiser and thegeneral description
of the piano, with the original value and present
terms on which it will be disposedof, together with the
reason for desiring to sell, are invariably the same.
It seems odd that a great many ladies of the same
name should be all leaving different towns at
once, all desirious of parting with their instruments,
all of which were of one original value, and all of
which will be sold at the same figure. Second-
hand piano buying is well known to be a perilous
business.

At the Tuam Diocesan Synod, as well as that of
Meath, it was determined to claim from the Government,
under the Church Act, all the church buildings of the
diocese, without an exception.

Mr. Sturton Hargato Johnson, a young man of
good family and position, was drowned in St. Clement's
Bay, jersey, on Wednesday, by the upsetting of a sailing
boat. •

RUSSIA. AND THE TREATY OF 1856.

A communication appears in the current number
of the Independance Beige, dated from Berlin,
which states that Russia had at different
times confidentially declared that the neutra-
lisation of the Black Sea was insup-
portable. The recent declaration Of the Russian
Cabinet, it also states, appears sole:y to relate to
that point. Russia has never claimed a revision of
the territorial cession stipulated by the Treaty of
1856.

AN IRISH CASE.

A case of a somewhat singular character has been
heard in the Court for Crown Cases Reserved at
Dublin. The defendant, Michael Fox, had been
convicted at the last Roscommon assizes of solicit-
ing one John Huey to murder one Thomas
Kennedy, and the evidence was certainly very strong
again.st him in a moral point of view, though as it
happened hu eventually escaped on a legal

technicali' y. Michael Fox was a tenant of Mr.
Waithman, the High Sheriff, and owner of Carri-
geen, in the county of , Roscommon, and the
Thomas Kennedy; whom it was sought to ".put out of
the way," was his driver or bailiff. In 1808 a farm
adjoining the prisoner's farm was vacant, and both
Fox and Kennedy applied for it. The letter on
which the prosecution was grounded was ad-
dressed to John lloey, at Collinstown County,
Westmeath. Fox writes :—" There is a very nice
spot of land joining me. I would get it only the
driver that is over us, he will get it; if you would
come or send some person that would put out of the
way there is every opportunity. . . I would do it
for you. Take the train from Athlone to Knock-
croghery, and I will meet you there and
pay your expenses, and recompense you for
your trouble." The letter was posted at
the Post-office, Knockcroghery, and evidence was
given that the letter and address were in the pri-
soner's handwriting, but it appears it fell into the
hands of the police before reaching its destination.
The point reserved for the consideration of the
Crown Court was whether the letter, under
such circumstances amounted to a solici-
tation to murder. The Court decided in favour
of the prisoner .by a majority of six,, holding
that the word "persuade " in the Act meant suc-
cessful persuasion, which had not been accomplished,
the letter never reaching its destination. The
minority held that Fox was guilty, having done all
in his power. He will, however, be discharged. By
a most singular chance, the letter addressed " Hoey "
was delivered to a police-Constable named Foley.
The confidence shewn by the writer in sending such
a letter by the post is, however, significant of the
security for such crimes in Ireland.

THE ITALIAN CABINET AND THE PARLIAMENT,

The report of the Italian Cabinet to Victor
Emmanuel on the reasons for dissolving the Italian
Parliament, and the policy which the Ministers pro-
pose to submit to the new Chambers, has just been
published. The document says the Ministers think
it necessary to dissolve Parliament because the occu-
pation of Rome has provoked questions as to the
relations between Church and State, which
can only be settled by a national legislature.
Italy has abolished the temporal power of the
Pope, which has been hitherto regarded as the indi-
spensable guarantee of his spiritual authority, and
she is therefore bound to prove that the latter qan
be freely exerted independently of the former.
Count Cavour anticipated this necessity, and pro-
claimed the solution of a free Church in a free State.
It is necessary, the document continues, to keep two
objects in view, the maintenance of national unity and
full restitution of freedom to the Roman people, and
also the security of the requisite dignity and liberty to
the supreme Ponta The first end must be secured
by placing the Roman citizens on the same legal
footing as the rest of Italian subjects; the second,
by allowing the Catholic Church unfettered
liberty. To avoid oven the suspicion of put-
ting a pressure on the head of the Catholic
Church the Italian Government proposes
to recognise the personal inviolability of the Pope,
to invest his dwellings with the immunity of foreign
embassies, and to' extend the same immunity to his
chief dependents. The patrimony of the Church
will be preserved intact, though the laws of mort-
main anti entails will be abolished, and the fresh
transfer of the capital will be made the means of
fulfilling many administrative, judicial and educa-
tional reforms. •

THE IMPERIAL PAMPHLETEER.

It is rumoured that•the Emperor Napoleon has
another 'pamphlet in the press, said to be written by

himself, or at any rate by his direction, and under
his immediate supervision. The relations between
France and Prussia of late years will be set forth,
with the view of demonstrating the good offices of
the Emperor towards the Germans, and the ingrati-
tude with which he has been treated. It is thought,
however, that the Imperial captive will deal very
softly with the Germans, principally devoting himself
to a vindication of his rule. It is to be hoped that
this vindication will be more successful than his late
disquisitions upon his military doings.

prem.; and Bank of England Stock, 232 to 234.

Foreign Stocks are firm, but without change, except in
Italian and Turkish, which are to per cent. higher.
The following are the prices :—ltalian, 484 to 49i ;
Spanish (1867), 24 to 244 ; ditto (1869), 254 to 254 ;
Turkish Five per Cents., 414 to 42 ; ditto (1869), 54i to
55 ; Egyptian, 73 to 74 ; and Peruvian, 85 to 86.
There seems every probability of the Bank directors
reducing the rate of discount per cent. next Thursday.
Some persons appear inclined to believe that the court
will go to the• extent of 1 per cent., but this is not
generally credited. The resources of the Bank must have
again considerably increased, both by the accession of
bullion and the running off of securities. The further
amounts of specie coming forward will go into the vaults
of Threadneedle-street, and there is little immediate
expectation of an adverse variation.

At the Stock Exchange never was such a glut of money
as the present known, while the scarcity of borrowers re-
mains unexampled. The amounts unemployed at the
close of yesterday was something enormous.
The Manchester markets this week have opened
without alteration.

The Board of Trade returns for the past month
present some slight indications of the influence of
the declaration of war which occurred at the end of
the first fortnight. Compared with the corresponding month
of last year there is a diminution of only about s per
cent. in the declared value of our exportations, but in
several branches of manufacture there are evidences of a
check having been experienced.

MARKETS (Tats DAY.)
MARK-LANE.

The attendance of millers at Mark-lane to-day was
again moderate, and the trade assumed a very quiet
appearance. A small retail trade was concluded in both
English and foreign wheat, at the decline of ls. to 2s. per
quarter, which took place on Monday last. Barley was
quiet, but prices were unaltered for all descriptions. Malt
was dull at drooping currencies. There was a plentiful
supply of oats, which sold slowly at the late reduction.
Beans and peas were scarce, and commanded former
terms. Maize was again lower to sell. The flour trade
was very quiet, but there is no change to note in the
value of every description.

TEACHING BY ILLUSTRATION.

A correspondent of the Times has just made
a practical suggestion by which our Peace
Society might impress the horrors of war
forcibly on the minds of men. Be proposes that
people in both armies who see what war really is
and what it entails upon mankind should prepare an
authentic portrait of the scenes during and after a
battle, the condition of the wounded in hospital,
and the condition of non-combatants in towns under
bombardment or along a devastated country.
Whether simply told in detail or illustrated
by the artist's pencil, such reports might be
translated into every European language and
circulated broadcast. The vigorous pourtrayal
of the deadly work of the "Bottle," and the fate of
the "Drunkard's Children," by George Cruiltshank,
preached an irresistibly impressive sermon to thou-
sands of wavering men. In the same way, if the
popular imagination, instead of being dazzled by the
floating banners and misled by the enthusiastic war-
songs, could grasp the nights of "agony.on the battle-
field, heaped with dead an 1 dying, or the sufferings
of the ruined peasant and plundered citizen, a declara-
tion of war would be loss readily made. If a modern
llogarth could trace the career of a young peasant
in time of peace and in time of battle, the contrast
might make the game of war more troublesome for
kings to play at.

POLICE INTLLLIGDNCE.—Tars DAY.

MEETING WITH AN OBSTACLE WHILE IN THE PURSUIT
OF KNOWLEDGE.—Frederick Sparkes, in the employ of
Mr. Theodore Crux, of the Albany Hotel, No. 240, Great
Portland-street, was summoned before Mr. Knox, at the
Marlborough Police-court, for assaulting Mr. Mortlock,
of Barford-street, Islington. The complainant said on the
20th instant he was walking along Great Portland-street,
reading a book at the time, when he came in contact with
• a ladder, on which was the defendant, who was doing
something to a lamp in front of the Albany Tavern. The
defendant descended the ladder in an excited state, and
made use of an offensive expression, to which he (com-
plainant) replied by calling him "a cad," and the defend-
ant then shook him, having hold of his collar at the time.
The defendant said he was nearly knocked off the
ladder by the complainant blundering against it,
and on his descending the ladder and !expostulating with
him the complainant called him a " - cad," and he
would not deny that he did then give the complainant a
bit of a shaking. Mr. Knox said, even if the defendant,
under the circumstances, used an intemperate expression,
it was pardonable, as he had had great provocation. He
could not say the defendant had not committed an
assault, but it was one of such a nature that he should
only call on him to pay a fine of one penny and the costs.
The complainant seemed far from pleased at the result.
A LADY THRASHING A CABMAN.—Mrs. Agnes Elizabeth
Hares, of 10, Alfred Street, Montpelier Square, Bromp-
ton, was charged on a summons, at Westminster Police-
court, with assaulting William Connell, a cab driver.
The complainant said he was engaged from a rank, and
' went to the Duke's Head in Soho, where he took up the
defendant and drove her to Alfred Street, Montpelier
Square ; she went into the house, and the servant brought
out Is. 6d. in about 10 minutes ; he had waited at Soho
23 minutes, and when offered is. 6d. asked for 6d. more,
as he considered he was entitled to it ; instead of
that the defendant came down the steps, and he gave
her a ticket; she tore it up, threw it in his face, and spat
in his face. He thenlwent up the steps and asked for 6d.
more, and put his foot in the door, as the defendant
refused to give her name and address, and said he should
not go till he got it ; the defendant then opened the door,
smashed his hat, cut his face open with a blow, and
threw him down the steps; a policeman had to get the name.
It was contended that complainant asked for more than
his fare, was insolent, put his foot in the door, and
refused to go at all, and the defendant only used the
force she was justified in using to expel him from her
house. A witness proved these facts. Mr. Mansfield
held that the defendant was justified in ejecting the com-
plainant, and dismissed the summons, remarking that he
did not believe she spat in his face.

THE NEW EDUCATION ACT.

Mr. Arbuthnot, one of the managers of the
"Sunningdale National School," has published some
correspondence which has taken place between the
Education Department and himself with respect to
the working of the New Education Act. He
points nut that tho Elementary Education Act re-
quires ..a immediate inquiry into the amount of
schOol accommodation in each parish. Sunningdale

is in the parish of Old Windsor, but it comprises bits
ofseveral other parishes. The point on which he
requires information is, supposing the parish of Old
Windsor generally should not come up to the re-
quirements of the Government inspectors, would
that part of the parish in which their school is
situate be subject to the education rate, or would
they be •exempted in consideration of con-
tinuing to support the school as at present—
that is, by voluntary subscriptions aided by
the Government grant and the children's pence.
The communication which Mr. Arbuthnot received
in reply from the Secretary of the Education De-
partment of the Privy Council informed him that
the local inquiry which may be made into the exist-
ing school provision for any parish cannot be held
until the Lords of the Priy Council receive the
returns which are being called for from the local
authorities of the parish. It was, however, stated
that if a rate were eventually to be made for the
parish of Old Windsor, no part of the parish would
be exempt from it. Sunningdale is an ecclesiastical
district, but such districts will not be dealt with
separately.

THE WAR AND THE WORKING CLASSES.

The suggestion made by Mr. Edmund Beales has
been accepted by the Labour Representation League,
who are determined to exert whatever moral influ-
ence they possess in favour of peace. They resolved
some time since upon issuing an address to the people
of the United Kingdom, advising the working
classes to request their Government not to allow

em to be dragged into the fin,tricidalslaughterof the

war. Recent events have, however, induced them to
bring some other points under the notice of
English working men. The great and unexpected
successes of the Prussian arms induce them to pro-
test against any dismemberment of France
by_ Prussia. They would, we are told, have
issued a similar protest, had the for-
tunes of the war been reversed. Secondly,

they are extremely desirous that the British Govern-
ment should not interfere in any way with the
people of France, if the latter desire any alter-
ation in their form of government. If the French
should wish to have a Republic instead
of a monarchical form of government,

there should, in the opinion of the
Labour Representation League, be no intervention
on the part of this country. Their uneasiness no

this head seems to have arisen from the support
given to the Orleanists in some of the English j our-
nals, but whatever may be the inclinations or sym-
pathies of individuals the idea of England interfering
actively in order to force an Orleanist dynasty on
France, is in 1870 nothing else than preposterous,
whatever it may have been in 1800.

THE AMERICAN PRESS ON THE WAR.
The New York Times notices that the Prussian
vacancies are filled up as fast as they occur,
but the French seemed to be under the impression
that the forces they first sent into the field would
suffice to finish the war. The French commissariat

system has broken down as completely as the Eng-
lish system did in the Crimea, while the Prussian
commissariat cannot fail in this way. it Was proved
in 1866 that its success is assured from the first

moment of the war until the last. The Tribune
thinks that during the brief time the war has lasted
the superior generalship of the Prussians has been
sheen as clearly as their superior numbers, and both
are so evident that the most ardent supporter of
Napoleon can have no reason to hope for final vic-
tory. The first fault of the campaign was in per-
mitting the Crown Prince to throw all the distress
of the war upon French territory. Another mistake
occurred in the French allowing themselves to be

surprised in Alsace. After the catalogue of blunders
which he had already made, the Emperor admitted

that he was again surprised: at the crossing of the
Moselle. The 7ribune has little faith in the general-

ship of Marshal Bazaine, and sees no hope for the
French cause if a Marshal of France can make such

blunders as he does. The Corps Legislatif may as
well send away the Emperor at once, and make peace
on the best terms they can.
London, England, 1870-08-31

THE FRENCH FLEET.

It may well be asked why the French fleet are not
taking a more important part then they are in the
present war. The inactivity of the vessels has
already created the suspicion among many French-
men that they were sent out to sea in such haste
that an adequate supply of seamen and ammuni-
tion was omitted to be furnished to them.
In a time of reverses to land forces one would think
that attacks made by powerful fleets on certain of
the enemy's ports and batteries would at least
serve to tantalise the enemy and prevent him

from prosecuting a campaign with speed ; but tactics

of this kind do not seom to have been once
entertained during the last month by the French
navy, about which we have heard so much boasting
of late years. More was expected of the turrets and
rams than the blockade of a few commercial harbours
and the capture of unprotected merchantmen.

THE FRENCH AT UNITA VECCHIA.

The French frigate L'Arenoque bas arrived at Civita
Vecchia, and taken up her position in the harbour with
the French advice boat the Daim and the English frigate
the Defence. The Marquis de Banneville, the French
ambassador at Rome, paid a visit to the irigate the day
after her arrival.

Five hundred horses, purchased in the Pontifical States
'or the use of the Italian army, have been despatched
'rom Rome to Livorno.

THE CARLIST INSURRECTION IN SPAIN.

The correspondent of the Standard at Madrid tele-
graphs that the Carlist movement having received
no countenance and assistance from the popu-
Race, the majority of the rebels and their leaders
}rave returned to France. They were defeated
at several places by the troops, and at length
finally dispersed. When the fugitives arrived at the
frontier, they were stoppied by the French authorities,
by whom they were disarmed, and a number of them
arrested. The district in which the Carlists appeared is

GAIETY THEATRE.

The entire change of performance at the Gaiety has
resulted in the greatest success. Notwithstanding the
excellence of the acting of Mr. Morris the Anglo-Dutch
performer, as Peter Spyke, an additional attraction was
required, and this has been effected by the production of
Offenbach's comic opera " Barbe Bleue." Mr. 0. Kenny
has prepared the work for the English stage, and on the
whole the work has been perforined in a satisfactory manner.
The principal part, Boulette, is sustained by Miss Julia
Matthews with more than ordinary effect, and her
greatest admirer could searcely have predicted the success
she has achieved by her spirited rendering of the character.
Miss Losiby as Flourette also deserves the highest
commendation both for her singing and acting, and
Miss Tremaine as the imperious Queen, Clementina,
shows rapid progress in her profession. The Blue Beard
of Mr. Beverley is not perhaps quite so good as it ought
to be, but doubtless the novelty of his position at present
somewhat interferes with his real abilities. Mr. J. D. Stoyle
as the King infused great spirit into the part, and Mr.
Perrini as Oscar sang the music with much taste and
effect. We must not omit a word of praise for Mr. A.
Cook, who, as Popolani the sorcerer, contributed greatly
to the success of the piece. The . opera has been most
sumptuously put upon the stage ; every detail has
been attended to and carried out with the most
lavish expense. The scenery, dresses, and appointments
are all exceedingly bright and beautiful, and the whole
production is one that entitles the management to the
greatest praise, The opera is undoubtedly the best thing
that has yet been given at this elegant theatre, and a long
and highly successful run will certainly be the reward of
the energetic lessee and manager.
