FEVER CARRIAGES.

Mr. JOHN TALBOT asked the President of the Poor Law
Board whether it was true that the carriage used for fever
patients in the Westminster Union was usually drawn by
paupers, and whether the Poor Lawßoard had any means
of putting a stop to such a practice.
Mr. GOSCHEN replied that the carriage was drawn by
paupers. There were always more volunteers for the ser-
vice than were required, shewing that they liked the six-
pence and the outing which they got for the service. And
he understood that exhaustion bad never occurred, but
sometimes fatigue had.

SPURIOUS TEA.

Mn. STAPLETON asked the Secretary to the Board of
Trade, whether his attention had been called to the impor-
tation from China of large quantities of adulterated or
spurious tea, stated by Dr. Letheby, by whom it had been
analysed, to consist of re-dried leaves of exhausted tea in
a state of putrefaction. Whether he was aware that it
was used for the adulteration of genuine tea, and that it
was insuch demand that its price had risen from 2d. to sid.
and whether the Board of Trade were taking any mea-
sures to protect the public from the increase of adultera-
tion indicated by this rise in the price of re-dried tea
leaves.

Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE was understood to say that the fac
was as stated.

INDIAN RAILWAYS.

Mr. RODEN asked the Under-Secretary of State for
India what number of miles of railway the Government
proposes to construct in India, and the estimated rate of
construction per year.
Mr. GRANT Dun' said a sum of three and three quarters
of a million was proposed to be voted for those railways.

INFA

The crisis is evidently coming sooner than was
expected. Instead of the Infallibility question being
postponed until after the hot weather, perhaps being
shelved altogether, it is now expected to
come on in the second fortnight of April ;
and even in this case, however, the pre-
lates will need to make haste, or they will work
under very unfavourable conditions. One thing is
certain : an additional article to the Schema, treating
of the infallibility of the Pope, was distributed m
Rome on the 7th, and published in full in the
Cologne Gazette of Wednesday. It is a short
document, and declares that the Pope can-
not err in defining matters of faith and
morals, and that any one who disputes tins
dogma thereby falls away from the truth of the
faith (sciat se a veritatefidei dOcere). The Paris
correspondent of the Telegraph points out, however,
that even this step must not be strained beyond its
legitimate meaning. " tfter all it is only the
definition of infallibility which is now going to
ba discussed and settled. Upon the nature of that
definition will depend the action of France. It is
only the political results of the dogma of Infallibility,
not the dogma itself, that the Government fears."

Sir D. WEDDEUBURN asked the Ifni_ler-Secretary o
State for India whether it is intended to entrust the con-
struction of the projected State railways in India to the
Public Works Department ; and, if so, whether the
Government considers the operation of that department
in the conduct of the works carried out by its means to
have been satisfactory as regards cost and rapidity of con-
struction.

Mr. GRANT DUFF gave an affirmative answer to the first
question ; information was wanted on the second ; and the
third was still under consideration.

AN IRISH ATROCITY.

At last justice has found twelve Irishmen who
have done their duty, in spite of Fenian threats.
John and William Conroy have been found guilty
of a dastardly outrage upon Mr. O'Conner, in King's
County, and sentenced to seven years' penal servi-
tude. The crime was of a peculiarly barbarous
description. A gang of men assailed Mr. O'Conner's
h )Use; seized him, and led him out of the hall down
the steps. He was made to sit down on the lowest step,
and William Conroy deliberately cut off his nose
from the bridge downwards, together with a
p ntion of the upper lip, leaving- the teeth bare. In
the meantime others of the ruffians had been search-
ing the house for arms, and having possessed them-
selves of two 'guns, they departed leisurely, leaving
their victim bleeding upon the ground.

FRANCE AND THE PAPAL MONEY.

The monetary question in the Pontifical States has ce.
casioned a considerable sensation, and is likely to be a
serious difficulty to the Government. The refusal of
France to admit the Pontifical coinage as a circulating
medium has been a severe blow to the Papal finance, as
the coinage was issued in proportion not to the
actual number of the Pope's subjects, but to those
of the annexed provinces. In Italy, morever, the
sight of anything in the shape of silver is too welcome
for refusal, and the greater part of the Papal silver will
therefore be absorbed by the producers of oil, cattle, and
other provisions by which Rome is supplied, almost exclu-
sively from the Marches, Umbria, and other provinces
annexed to Italy. This will necessarily increase the price
of provisions in Rome, and occasion discontent among the
people, which has been the great object of the Italian Go.
venunent to attain, and there are many signs which point
to a crisis in Rome as more than probable.
The French Government is by no means so demonstra-
tive in its assurances of protection as it was a few weeks
since. Notwithstanding the many offers made to the
French War Office of colonels of high standing for the
command of the Legion of Antibes, no appointment has
yet been made, and Colonel D'Argy's place has not beea
filled, which looks as if France was in no mood to commit
herself to a second official military representation hi
Rome.

The Pope is said to be much preoccupied by the situa-
tion, which is far from an easy one, the complications
caused by the Galilean party in Rome and in France ren-
dering every step taken in the Council a fresh hazard to
Cie French occupation of Civita Vecchia.

TILE POLLUTION OF RIVERS.

The _Lancet considers we have at last got some-
thing like a definite starting point for the legislative
prevention of the pollution of rivers. The Com-
missioners, Sir William Denison, Dr. E.
-Frankland, and Dr. J. Chalmers Morton,
have issued their first volu me on the
Mersey and Ribble basins, in which they arrive at a
series of conclusions which form the groundwork of
recommendations for the protection of all other rivers
throughout the country. As a remedy for the pre-
sent discreditable state of things, they demon-
strate the absolute efficacy of "mere enact-
ment, if efficiently administered," and urge
various considerations. The chief of them
are the deflection of the foulness from the river to
the land, not only to lessen the pollution of the
former, but even to derive a pecuniary profit from
the undertaking. The Commissioners observe that
the manufacturers also have in many cases found their
special contributions to the rivers capable of being
turned with advantage to the fields. The spent
liquors from tan-yards and even wool-washings, can
they gild, be completely converted to agricultural
use. 13 it in all cases, whether of animal or of in-
organic refuse, the water may, they submit, be ren-
dered fit for all but domestic purposes by a properly
conducted system of intermittent filtration supple-
menting a previously applied chemical process.

THE EDUCATION BATTLE.

Two deputations, of very opposite views, waited
upon Ministers yesterday. The Congregational Union
had an interview with Mr. Forster and endeavoured
impress upon him that unsectariau teaching was
the best thing in national schools. The power given to
local boards to decide what kind of religious instruction
should be given in the New Schools was condemned
as particularly likely to give rise to difficulties. The
National Education Union, on the other hand,
" interviewed " Mr. Gladstone, and sought to con-
vince h that the conscience clause quite frig fli•

ABOLITION OF OUTLAWBY.

What is an outlaw—or rather, what was an out-
law ? for the dignity, we hear, is abolished. The most
popular idea of an outlaw is that of the class who
belonged to the type of " bold Robin Hood, a
forester good, as ever drew bow in the merry green
wood." This was the outlaw of the olden days,
who robbed fat priests and set at defiance
the Sheriff of Nottingham. And the modern out-
law, as the Daily Telegraph remarks, is still connected
with the sheriff, who periodically " proclaims" him
and summons him to surrender. The personage
thus thundered against in a way, the result of which
—if there is any—is most mystifying to the unini-
tiated mind, usually prefers, as we know, to
hear the proclamation wafted by kindly breezes
across the Straits of Dover. What harm
was done to debtors by outlawing them, beyond
their being consequently induced to take a change of
air, or what good was done to creditors, has not been
yet determined. The practice is now done away
with, and the fact of its having lasted from the days
of Alfred to those of Victoria does not prove its re-
moval less justified.

LA IV INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

LORDS JUSTICES COURT.
THRUPP V. GODRICH.

Lord Justice Giffard delivered judgment to-day
in this case. It appeared that the testator, wbo
died possessed of considerable property, bad left
the same in trust to be realised and divided in
moieties between his wife and daughter, and the
whole to go to the survivor. The daughter died,
and the mother claimed according to the terms of
the testator's will ; but her claim was disputed.
His Lordship confirmed the decision of the Master
of the Rolls, which was in favour of the widow.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT.

Vice-Chancellor Malins gave judgme 't to-day in
a petition by a gentleman maned Andre vs, for tl:e
winding up of this company, established in 1868,

refused to make an or.lcr for the winding up, dis-
missed the petition, and directed that the petitioner
sLould pay the costs of the litigation.

THE BALANCE OF POWER.

The Times owns that jealousy of the military -power
and growth of Germany is the . motive on which M.
Thiers has based his appeals to England, to
Austria, and to Russia, as jealousy of the strength of
neighbours has been the leading idea of his foreign
policy throughout his life. it is on this same passion of
jealousy that the members of the Provisional
Government rely when they claim the assistance of
neutrals against the demands of Prussia, and by so
doing drive us to the conclusion that they are them-
selves animated by. it, or that they believe it to be
a main-spring of our international conduct. They are
mistaken, to which ever motive their error may be due.
Any manifestation of jealousy on the part of the Ministers
of France nips the growth of sympathy for the
misfortunes of her people. There was a time
when it was believed that the best way to Ip.• crease our
own trade was to destroy the trade of oureneighbours.
Wars were made on this principle. Treaties of. peace
were aimed at the restriction of the commerce of
rivals. We now know that there is no surer
way to the increase of our commercial greatness than
through the increase of. the commercial activity of othera.
What is true in economic is true in political science. We
look with hope for ourselves to the free and healthy
growth of our neighbours. This is the secret
of the policy that has been stigmatized as leading to the
alienation of our colonies and the disintegration of the
Empire. It is the principle of the foreign policy of tle.
present generation.

THE WAR AND THE " CAPTAIN."

Mr. Gudin,ronsed by the stirring language used by
Lord Shaftesbury in favour of the distressed French
peasantry, has in the columns of the Standard sup-
plemented the appeal of his lordship. The proposal
has a two-fold object. It is intended to invite artists
of all nations, without distinction, to contribute
pictures, so as to form an exhibition of their
works, which are to be for sale should purchasers
be found. The proceeds of the undertaking are
to be equitably divided amongst the sufferers by the
loss of her Majesty's ship Captain, and the French
people in the invaded districts. The object of the
scheme is a noble one, and commends itself to the
beneficent public. The contributions to the Captain
Relief Fund are as yet by no means adequate to the
demands which will be made upon it, whilst the sum
raised for the peasantry of France is utterly insuffi-
cient to alleviate to any appreciable extent their
sufferings. As the campaign progresses the miseries
of the unfortunate French people will be greatly
ramified, and corresponding exertions will have to be
made to assuage them. The movement will have the
sympathy of the generous public and systematised
effort lead to very successful results.

A BALLOON VOYAGE.

M. Tissandier has sent to the Constitutionnel the
account of his adventures. " I left Paris on the 30th of
September. The Post Office Director gave me 100
kilogrammes of private letters. Some carrier pigeons
were placed in my balloon, and I started at a moderate
rate. Some seconds afterwards I was struck at
the appearance of the environs of Paris ;
Versailles, that joyous place, was trampled down
by enemies. I threw some printed proclamations in Ger-
man in the midst of the soldiers, and they replied by a
fusilade which could not reach me in my elevated regions.
The sun was hot, and my balloon remained suspended in
the air. In gliding smoothly along I had the most
pleasing view of the country opened before me. The
wind led me in a westerly direction, and I passed
over the forest of Rambouillet. I saw some Prussians
even there, but beyond Meudon I did not see any. My
passage over the woods had considerably cooled the gas
in the balloon, and soon after perceiving Dreux I came
nearer to the ground and asked some peasants who came
up if there were any Prussians near. " No, no," they
replied. Thereupon I endeavoured to descend,
and was assisted by the inhabitants of Dreux.
I took my dispatches to the post by myself, and then
proceeded to Tours by a special train. All along the route
I was questioned as to the state of things in Paris, and
the reports I gave of its courage and spirit seemed to
awaken the greatest enthusiasm. A great number of
shops still remain open, and the promenades are covered
with soldiers 2,:oing through exercise. The cafes are elosed
at half-past ten, and by eleven the great city
seems to be asleep ; but in reality it is
always watching. Certain kinds of food are .scarce in
Paris. There is no more butter, no more fruit, and soon
meat will be a very rare article. Corn will not fail, how.
ever, and so long as the Parisians have bread the Prus.
sians will be kept at a distance. When the provinces
shall send their forces to harrass the Prussian lines, our
enemies will bs between two fires, but let the dwellers in
the provinces remember that they cannot save France
unless they save Paris."

ALARMING EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS,

An explosion, the causes of which up to a late hour
last evening were not fully explained, occurred yesterday,
at a firework establishment at Sprowston, near Norwich,
occupied by Mr. George Coe. Mr. Coe was
absent from Norwich at the time of the occurrence, but
his niece, a young girl named Sarah Woods, was residing at
his house, within a short distance of the works. The esta-
lishment was blown to the ground by the force of the
explosion, rnd the windows in Mr. Coe's house and some
of the adjoining houses were also broken. The girl, Sarah
Woods was somewhat hurt, and was removed to the
Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, as was a man,
named Robert Whall, who appears to have
caused the accident by his inadvertance. Whall
is a lucifer match manufacturer, and, according to
his own account, he went into the workshop and began
o.ngering some materials, when they suddenly took fire,
and the explosion followed. Whall is much hurt, but is
expected to recover. He does not appear to have enter-
tained any ill-feeling towards Mr. Coe, and the occurrence
Is supposed to have been purely accidental.

THE VALUE OF FORTRESSES.

The Times remarks that we in this country are so
'accustomed to the sight or idea of strong places

at we can hardly imagine a country studded with

more than a hundred fortresses. Yet this is the case
with France, which boasts of 119 towns regularly
fortified and more or less able to sustain a. siege.
Eight of these are of the first rank, including, of
