TUB BDUCATION BILL.

The amendments which have been announced
as in pickle for Mr. Forster's Education Bill
aro numerous. Most of them are expressions
of Union or League principles. Sir Thomas Bazley
undertakes to set the compulsory question right by
ordaining absolute instead of permissive compulsion.
Ills scheme to effect this end is complex ; he
proposes that children between the ages of six
and twelve, and not under any labour regulation
act, be obliged to attend school at least thirty weeks
in the year, that seven separate attendances form a
week, that negligent parents be fined five shillings
for the first, and twenty shillings for subsequent
offences ; officers of the school board are to visit
offending parents; teachers are to furnish lists of
absentees; and children playiry, in the streets are to
taken note of. Mr. Jacob playing
takes the reli-
g:ous difficulty in hand, and suggests that no
sectarian teaching be allowed in schools. The Bible
mAy be read and doctrinal instruction may be given
after hours, but no more. The bill, as it stands,
proposes to leave the religious question to be settled
by the school boards. Aa. Baines, too, would limit
the powers of the school boards in this respect; and
Mr. Graves would extend the operation of the Act to
training ships.

THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S FUND.

The Bishop of London writes to the Times on the
subject of the fund connected with his name. It
has now passed through one half the period for
which it was originally formed, and a statis-
tical survey has been made of the results
produced. A very great work has been accomplished
in the way of providing churches, schools, scripture
readers, and city missionaries. It has added many
clergymen to the staff of the diocese, and has
fulfilled the intentions of its founders and supporters.

MORE ANNEXATION.

President Baez, of San Domingo, has received
a communication from influential parties in
Venezuela, asking his influence with the
Government of America in favour of the an-
nexation of Venezuela to the United States.
This State is in South America, and its inhabitants
have long been puzzled to know what to do with
themselves. They cannot find a stable government,
and so they propose the invariable resource—annexa-
tion to the United States. It remains
,to be. seen,
however, whether the Americans think of extending
their dominions to Patagonia.

SIR SAMUEL BAKER'S EXPEDITION.

News from Sir Samuel Baker's expedition is fur-
nished in a letter from Cairo. The arrival of Sir
Samuel and party at Kartouw, the capital of
Soudan, has been previously announced, and they
awaited there the arrival of Mr. Higginbotham, the
engineer deputed by Sir Samuel to superintend the
engineering department of the expedition. He
had under his charge the bulk of the heavy
baggage, including the river steamers built by
Messrs. Samuda, 'of London, and expedited by
them in piecemeal. Sir Samuel and the whole of
his forces, including Mr. Higginbotham and the
train of baggage, have felt Kartouin en route for
Gondokoro. Sir Samuel dwells at length in his
official report on the general efficiency of the ex-
pedition in all its departments. The commissarkt
arrangements, to which his Excellency Sherif Pasha
devoted so much time and care throughout the in-
terminable summer months of last year, surpassed
Sir Samuel's most sanguine expectations. lie felt
elated at the satisfactory commencement of the
expedition and the hope of arriving at Gondokoro
before the setting in of the rainy season in April.

Mr. Bright Lopes to go to Llandudno in thl
courso of a week or ten days.

Fenianism has at length been held a disqualifica-
tion for keeping a publichouse. At St. Helen's yesterday
a man applied for the transfer of a beorhouso licence. The
police objected, on the ground that the man harboured
Fenians in his house, and a policeman stated that ho had
many times seen Fenians in the house, and had repeatedly
seen the "head centre" in the house. The magistrates
declined to grant the licence.

BRISTOL.

The indecent behaviour of the Bristol Liberals has
at length worried Mr. Berkeley into resignation.
Ho has represented the borough for thirty-three
years, and has made himself a respected name by his
continued exertions on behalf of the ballot when the
now beloved institution was ridiculed and despised;
bat his enlightened constituents cannot let him retire
in peace. They worked so indefatigably to find a
successor for his seat that they have at length accumu-
lated the large and dangerous stock of three candidates.
Mr. Kirkman Hodgson is a Liberal; Mr. Robinson,
in addition to being a Liberal, possesses the advan-
tage of being a local man also; Mr. Odger is a work-
ing man as well as a Liberal. Here is a fine collection
of good things to choose from, if the Bristol Liberals
knOw how to choose. But, if all three go to the poll,
the result cannot b e difficult to estimate. When Mr.
Miles contended, in the Conservative interest, with
Mr. Morley alone, the former absolutely won, though
he was afterwards unseated. A. ballot is talked of
to settle this difficulty.

LORD STRATLINAIRN'S RETIREMENT.

Lord Strathnairn's approaching retirement was
discussed in the Dublin Corporation yesterday. Sir
W. Carroll eulogised him, and Councillor Sullivan,
a Nationalist, uttered bitter invective against him,
saying that he who had blown Sepoys from his
guns in India was selected on that account by the
Government to play the part of military satrap in
Ireland.

COLLIERY PRECAUTIONS.

So me of the miners in the neighbourhood of New-
castle have been supplied with an improved Davy
lamp. A. correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazelle
recently met one old "hand," and asked to look at
this new lamp. To his surprise, he found that the
glass was so broken as to render the " safety " of the
lamp an entire delusion; the fracture was evidently
not new, and the workman allowed that it had
occurred some time ago. The most cursory inspec-
tion would have detected the fault. The question
then is, does anybody look to the condition of the
miners lamps, and if so, how often?

THE BISHOP OF LONDON ON INFIDELITY.

The Bishop of London has addressed a Conference
to consider the "best means of counteracting, on
a more widely-extended scale, the strenuous and
systematic efforts of infidels in the metropolis
and throughout the country, which are now
assuming so alarming a character." His Lordship
Ile said there was a large number of
books and periodicals of a pernicious tendency
not only on tho shelves of circulating libraries,
but on the drawing-room tables of many families.
German literature, too, had been brought promi-
nently forward in England, and adopted by some of the
dignitaries of the Anglican Church. All this told neces-
sarily on the modes of thought of the humbler &asses.
He was not surprised that infidelity had armed itself
with new weapons, and was making a show of learn-
ing to which it never pretended before. Its up-
holders, he said, were quite ready to bring all the
objections and arguments forward which they thought
rationalism had discovered in modern criticism and
scientific speculation to subvert the Gospel. Con-
troversy, he considered, formed part of the welfare of
the Christian Church.
London, England, 1870-09-06

" and confess they do not inspire me with a veryhigh opi-
nion of their martial ardour or discipline. 'Why, when they
have their great coats on one can see a great deal of
pa'etot but hardly any soldier." I asked his Excellency
whether he thought the Emperor was at Sedan. " Oh,
no," was the reply, " Napoleon is not very wise; but he
is
not quite so foolish as to put himself in Sedan just now.
For once in his life Count Bismarck was wrong. •
At 2.45 the King came by where I was standing, saying
he thought the French were going to try and break out
just beneath us, in front of the 2d Bavarian corps. At
ten minutes to four General Sheridan told me that Napo-
leon and " Loulu" were in 'Sedan. No one, however, be-
lieved this.
On receipt of the Emperor's most astounding letter
there was a brief consultation_ bet Ween the King, the
Crown Prince (who had come from his hill on the arrival
of the flag of truce), Bismarck, Moltke and Von Room
After a few minutes' conversation the King sat down on a
rush-bottomed chair and wrote a note on another chair,
held on a table by two aides-de-camp, to the Emperor,
begging him to come next morning to the
King of Prussia's headquarters at Vendres. While this
note was writing Count Bismarck came up to Generals
Sheridan, Forsyth, and myself, and heartily shook our
hands. "Let me congratulate you most sincerely, Count,"
said General Sheridan. "I can only compare
the surrender of Napoleon to that of Gene-
ral Lee at Appomatox Court-house." When the
King had written his letter he himself handed
it to General Reilly, who stood bare-headed to re'
ceive it, the Italian and Crimean medals glittering on his
breast in the last rays of the setting sun. Queen Victoria's
image and superscription have not often been seen on the
uniforms of men capitulating without conditions. At
7.40 the general left for the beleagured town, escorted by
the Uhlans, and the duster which had served as
a flag of truce was offered to me as a
relic of this most memorable day. But seeing
that the said duster had a very strong family resemblance
to most other dusters, I declined the proffered relic. Then
there was a general demand for something to drink, and
Count Bismarck's aide-de-camp produced two bottles of
Belgian beer, one of which his Excellency shared with
Generals Sheridan, Forsyth, and myself, saying that he
drank to the nearer union of the three great Teuton
peoples.

PROPOSED CONGRESS ON CONTINENTAL
QUESTIONS.

The special correspondent of the Echo telegraphs from
Berlin on Monday—" Count Beust invited Russia to pro-
pose a Congress of Powers with reference to the condition
of France and of the Eastern question. It is said upon
good authority that Prussia will refuse to take any part
in such a congress.

PEACE OR WAR.

The Times remarks that the Republic has been called
into existence to save France from dismemberment.
The German people have sworn to dismember
France. It is impossible to put the two state-
ments together without seeing that the mise-
ries of the war are far from over ; that weeks and
even months may pass before peace' shall be
agd:n vouchsafed to Europe. The struggle may be d;ffi-
cult, but France will not yet confess that it is hopeless.
It is henceforth nation against nation. No Ministry,
no dynasty, stands between France and the in-
vaders. "From to-day every Frenchman is asso-
ciated with the army as an avenger of the country."
So runs the Proclamation of the Republic, and it is,
in fact, a levy en masse whih is decreed. The manu-
facture and sale of arms are declared absolutely free, and
it is evidently thought that every man will arm himself
and march into the field as a volunteer, and that the
miracle of 1792 will be again repeated. If, says the
Times, we do not share this belief—and we cannot—
we cannot also withhold our sympathy from those
to whom it is an article of religious faith. The
German armies of to-day no more reproduce the
miscellaneous horde of uneducated and ignorant serfs
which obeyed Brunswick than the strategy of von Moltke
reproduces the strategy of the Duke. France may he as
earnest, as passionate, and as united in 1870 as in 1792 ; but
opposed to her is a nation equally earnest, equally united,
equally resolute, immeasurably better armed,better drilled,
and, asJar as the promise of the past may be trusted,
better commanded. The conflict is too unequal, even
though waged in France itself, far away from the Ger-
man base of operations, and it can have but one end,
though that end may be delayed for two or even three
months more. There is no prospect before us but a bitter,
savage, and desperate defence, ending in the sullen sub-
mission of absoitia exhaustion.

THE EMPEROR MADE PRISONER.

A correspondent of the Eciw du Parlement has given
some details of the Emperor's surrender. After Mae
Mahon and his army were thrown back on Sedan they were,
surrounded by 250.009 men, and their fortifications were

not in a state to hold out two days. At she o'clock a
French _staff offices went with a flag of truce to the head-
quarters of the Prussian army to propose terms Gf capitu-
lation: He was told that they must treat with General
O'Reilly, the Commandant. The General went hi his
turn, and was told -that the Frencth army being unable

to . defend itself, mus,t surrender at diseretin

Up to this time there was no- idea of the Emperor being
present in the French camp, andthe silence that was kept
on eo important a matber by the flag 'of truce was after-

wards severely blamed. All at once a shout was raise,

in the Prussian camp, " The Emperor is there." Nearly
at the same time ass autograph letter of the Emperor
Napoleon's was brought to the King of Prussia, in which
he said that as he could nob die at the head of his army he
laid down his sword before the King of Prussia. The
enthusiasm which prevailed in the Prussian army was im-
mense, the soldiers threw down their arms and embraced
each other, believing that the war was finished.
In a short time the musicians played spirited airs, but
were ordered to leave off for fear the conquered army
might think themselves insulted. Bismarck was sur-
rounded and congratulated. He replied that he had done
little, and that they must thank the King and General
Moltke. On the 3rd of September the Emperor went to
the Prussian head-quarters, more as a visitor than a
prisoner. He was in a caleche, accompained by severs
generals. Two TJhlans on horseback marched in front of
the caliche ; Napoleon was very calm and smoking a
cigar.

THE BELGIAN,.PRESS.

The Indepenciance Beige publishes a despatch from its
London correspondent, stating that - Lord Granville
intends proposing an armistice. All the neutral Govern-
ments are agreed in advising Germany not to dismember
France, which would perpetuate the war. L'Etoile
Beige, writing on this intelligence, says that
European diplomacy is, at last, of opinion that
the time for intervention has arrived, and
perhaps by a prompt and decisive movement the diplo-
matists may now make us forget its former failures and
the negligence anti want- of foresight which allowed this
terrible war to break ant unprepared. But it must be.
acknowledged that this time diplomacy will have a most
arduous task, all the more sobecause it will be as difficult
to make France cease a desperate strife as to obtain a
wise moderation front victorious Prussia. L'Etoi/4
Beige goes on to discuss the situation in Paris
and speculates how long the authorities will en-
deavour to keep the people in the darla " What," it asks,
"will France, who has been rocked until the last moment
in idle illusions and falsehoods, say to this news ? What
will Count Palikao say—he who bift a few days since
hinted that Paris would be illuminated if he only ven-
tured to make known the' facts which he was keeping
concealed in the interests of the public. If the
Indepenclance Beige is to be believed; Count
Palikao has not told the truth to the Empress
who on Friday, up to a late hour, knew nothing of the
capitulation of the army of MacMahon or the capture of
Napoleon 111. Must we insist on the epilogue of this
imperial tragi-comedy ? Must we chew the caricature of
Caesar entrained in the rear of the armies, hiding himself
at the moment of the murderous battles, and finally
surrendering himself in an open carriage, his cigarette in
his mouth, driving to the quarters of the King of Prussia
as if he were taking part in some grand gala.w In another
part of the paper the Ministerial proclamation tothe French
people is published., and l'Etoik Beige adds the significant
comment that the Ministers merelymention the capture of
the Emperor incidentally at the close. A v 97 little
mare would have made them forget it altogether. And
thus finishes the EmPire

THE TIENTSIN MASSACRE.

The British Chaplain at Shanghai writes to the
Times on the subject of the "ghastly tragedy"
Tientsin. He declares that it is no exaggeration
to say that since Cawnpore no such deed of blood has
been committed, the murder of the Sisters of Mercy
being an outrage on humanity itself'. He has had
opportunities of seeing their work, and is filled with
horror and indignation at their cruel fate. He thinks
that the Tientsin massacre shows that the Chinese
are not free from superstition, and also that
the Chinese Government are most untrust-
worthy. Chung How. knew three or Mur
days before that a massacre was intended,
and yet he took no steps to prevent it. It
is true that the bravos of Tientsin committed the
murders, but disciplined troops were present at the
time, who protected the shops from pillage, but did
not seek to save the foreigners. As for the future
Mr. Butcher thinks that the best course to pursue
will be to promote the general improvement of the
country acid to insist that the troops should protect
the foreign missionary while hie is doing good.
Another \lifter to the Times thinks that the recent
massacre of French Missionaries and Sisters of.
Mercy at Tien-Wn, however frightful in its atrocity,
is but the legitimate consequence of a long course
of wrongdoing and aggressive action on the part of
the French authorities and missionaries combined.
He considers it a great mistake to interfere with the
internal affairs and administration of the empire, as
by such means we render all recourse to foreign skill
and science for the development of China impossible,
and retard the development of those means by
which Russia and other States have advanced by
rapid strides from barbarism to civilisation.

GUIZOT ON THE WAR.

M. Guizot has written to an English friend on the
war. He says that it is too late to talk about the
origin of the war, because they must all be engrossed
with its possible consequences. The Prussians loudly
proclaim that they mean to take back Alsace and
Lorraine, and already exercise the rights of
sovereiturty over them. "Ask," says M. Guizot,
" the first honest German whom you meet if this is
not one of those acts of victorious ambition which
pledges a nation to a struggle indefinitely prolonged,
a struggle which can only be terminated by one of
those disasters that a nation never accepts; one that
if it experiences it never forgives." M. Guizot is not
seriously uneasy as to the result of the struggle. He
considers the French were to blame in being
unprepared at first, but thinks they may yet
retrieve their pos.tion. He is very anxious Gat
this opinion which expresses the feeling uppermost
in men's minds should be known in England. He
has devoted his whcle political life to ►maintaining
the bonds of friendship between France and England,
and it is with sorrow, not unmixed with surprise,
that t sees ninny Englishmen so openly hostile to
France. in 1657 he was deeply grieved when he

THE WAR NEWS IN ENGLAND.

The excitement produced all over England by the
startling news received from the Continent has been
almost unparalleled. In London, when the intelli-
gence of the surrender of the Emperor was received,
all business for a time seemed to be suspended, except
the sale of newspapers. In Leicester-square and its
neighbourhood, where the French inhabitants
of the metropolis chiefly reside, the excite-
ment reached its climax. The greatest indignation
was expressed at the surrender of the Emperor and
the army of MacMahon, and the general feeling was
strongly in favour of a resolute resistance. They
protested against any peace propositions being dis-
cussed while the Prussians were on French soil. The
Germans were, of course, as exulting as the French
were indignant or depressed ; and the Irish who
loudly proclaimed their readiness to fight for the
French complicated matters still further. Pre-
cautions were adopted to prevent a collision
between the rival nationalities. The news
also created the greatest excitement in
Liverpool, though at first it was received with in-
credulity. When the official Prussian report was
posted the price of cotton advanced id. per lb. At
Manchester the enthusiasm was very great, and the
peace party were confident that bloodshed would
now be stayed. In Birmingham great doubts were
at first telt, even at the North German consulate,
as to whether the news could possibly be true. When
a telegram from London sot this right the war flag of
Germany was hoisted on the consulate, and the ex-
citement grew intense. Everywhere the Germans
rejoiced, and in Liverpool, where they are numerous
and influential, they were especially jubilant. Alto-
gether the excitement throughout the country, even
before the reception of the fall of the dynasty in
France, is described as unequalled in the present
generation.
London, England, 1870-09-06

THREATENED MUTINY IN INDIA.

Serious news has been received from India, and
unless there is some exaggeration in it there is every
reason to apprehend that great discontent has arisen
in the place where the rebellion broke out thirteen
years ago. A native regiment has laid down its
arms because a comrade has been shot for insubordi-
nation. This is a significant statement, because in
the first place the authorities would not have con-
demned the Sepoy if he had not been guilty
of a great offence, and next_ it is evident
that the whole regiment so far shared in
his guilt that they resorted to most extreme
measures to show their sympathy with his fate, and
their indignation against those who condemned him.
Allahabad is a dangerous place for such symptoms to
manifest themselves, and those who were familiar
with the sad occurrences ot 1857 will recognise the
importance of the intelligence. It is the centre of
bigotry and the stronghold ot the fanaticism of race
and creed which imparted so peculiar a character to
the mutiny. The authorities ought to lose no time
in adopting every precaution to prevent past
horrors being renewed. The most effectual
means would be to disarm, in the promptest
manner, any regiment which has shewn the least
symptoms of disaffection.

ROME THE CAPITAL OF ITALY.

It has long been evident that the extraordinary
events now occurring in France would materially
influence the position of the Roman question, and
it now appears that the looked-for crisis is at hand.
A. few nights since the Gazetta d' Italia, of Florence,
published a startling circular informing all those
whose terms of lease for apartments, and shops, or
other establishments, . were about to expire,
that it had been decided in one of
the latest Councils of Ministers that the
immediate and material transfer of the government
from the provisional capital to Rome should take
place before the end of September. The Govern-
ment, while announcing the impending event, exone-
rated itself from any indemnity which might be de-
manded in consequence of the transfer by those who
cannot skew they have a right to it on account of
the preceding transfer from Turin to Florence. All
newspapers were requested to publish the
notice, which fell on Florence like a thun-
derbolt. Everyone sought the Gazetta office
and extravagant sums were offered for a copy. The
visit of Prince Napoleon to Florence, his proposed
departure and subsequent change of mind, had pre-
viously produced great perplexity, but the notice in
the G azetta was the climax. The feeling in Florence
is described as being one of panic and uncertainty.
No one knows how to act, where to go, or what to
do. Unless the Roman question is shortly solved
the consequences will be disastrous. Florence will
feei the transfer of the capital much more than Turin,
though even there the removal excited riot ar.d
disturbance in 1864.

SPEECH OF COUNT BISMARCK.

When it became known in the German camp that the
Emperor had surrendered there were loud cries for Count
Bismarck. In reply to,the congratulations which were ad
dressed to him, he said, "Gentlemen, I have done nothing to
obtain the success of this war. Address yourselves,
to the King and Von Moltke. I have done nothing ; but
wait for one moment. I have done one thing—l have so
acted that the Southern States of Germany have aided
us with all their power ; and it is to them, and our
brave Bavarians and Wurtemburgers that we owe the
results of this day."

DISTURBANCES IN ENNISKILLEN.

A serious disturbance took place at Enniskillen on
Sunday night. Catholic mobs paraded the town cheering
France. The Protestants thereupon assembled, and a
counter demonstration was held. Missiles were thrown.
Captain Butler and the magistrates present had the mili-
tary in readiness. A policeman was injured. Priests
interfered to prevent further riot, and the streets were
cleared at eleven o'clock. More rioting was expected.

MISCONDUCT IN A CHURCH

John Kite and George Woodward, respectably dressed
young men, were charged before the Uxbridge magis-
trates on Monday with disorderly conduct during divine
service on Sunday afternoon, 23rd ult., at Cowley church,
From the evidence of the rector, the Rev. J. C. Hilliard,
it appeared that the prisoners entered the church in a
hasty and rude way in the middle of the sermon, and
made their way to the gallery, where one of them sat
down with his hat on. They then coma
menced laughing and talking.. The rector mo-
tioned to the one who was covered, and he
took off his hat, and for a few moments was more
decorus ; but soon afterwards they incited the boys
near them ; and the noise became so intolerably irreve-
rent that the rector was obliged to stop and tell them,
that they must either behave better or leave the church
One of them replied, "All right Sir ;" but, their noise
continuing, they had to be put out of the church. They
had a stone bottle with them containing beer, from which
they partook freely. This evidence was corroborated, and
they were sentenced to two months' imprisonment each.
with the option of a fine.

MURDER IN GLOUCESTER.

The Gloucester city magistrates yesterday committed
for trial for murder one Richard Harper, aged 21, who
stabbed James Bubb, aged 24, near the heart on Friday
week. Both men were working on the Severn Navigation
Improvement Works, and in the evening were drinking
together, when Harper threw some beer in Bubb's face.
The men then fought, and while Bubb was on the ground
Harper pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the chest.
Bubb was taken to the Gloucester Infirmary, where he
lingered until Saturday, and then died. A post mortem
examination shewed that the wound hact..penetrated to
the heart. The prisoner admitted stabbing Bubb, but
pleaded provocation.

THREATENED STRIKE OF IRON-WORKERS.

The ironworkers of South Staffordshire and Worcester:

SERIOUS POACHING AFFRAY.

At twelve o'clock on Sunday night, a serious poaching
affray occurred at Gumly Hall, on the grounds of Captain
Whitmore, near Market Harborough. Eight poachers
attacked four keepers, inflicting serious injuries. The
keepers lie in a precarious state, more than one not being
expected to recover.

AN ARMISTICE PROPOSED BY

LORD GRANVILLE.

The Independence Beige srates that Lord Gran-
ville has propssed an armistice, and that all the
neutral Powers have agreed to counsel Germany
not to attempt to nismember France. as such a
proceeding would only perpetuate the war.
[The correspondent of the Daily News at Brussels
telegraphs that it is reported there that Jules Favre
has already made proposals of peace to Prussia. The
