OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.

(THIS DAY.)
PUTNEY, Monday.
Invigorated by a day's rest the crew returned this ,
morning to their training with renewed spirit. It
was a cold frosty morning, and the men took a
" breathing" across Barnes-common before break-
fast, and none of thein apparently a bit the worse for
exposure to the pitiless pelting of the storm on
Saturday.
The renowned John Phelps, of Fulham, a
waterman of bygone days, took the Cam-
, bridge coxswain at 10 o'clock up to Chiswick
to show him the best steerage of that portion of the
course. On his return Mr. Mapleson had the crew
out five times over the course up to Mortlake. They
started at two or three minutes past 12, about
three quarters of an hour before high water.
They went away at thirty-seven strokes
per minute, and continued it with a trifling
increase. The men went well forward, and their
rowing was very clean and much admired by many
present.
The business of the Oxford men was taken up,
and rowed without going any very great distance
to lay their new boat, which came from Oxford this
morning, and has been expressly built for the race.
She looks a fine craft.
The usual dinner of the crews will take place on
the evening of the race. Members of either Univer-
sity can obtain tickets by applying to Mr. J. H. Rid-
ky at the Star and Garter, or to Mr. S. H. Wood-
house at the White Lion—the hotels at Putney.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
PUTNEY, Monday Afternoon.
The Cambridge rowing this morning up to Mort-
lake has given their friends great hopes. They
performed the distance in 21 minutes 45 seconds,
which is very fast time, considering that the
tide under them was not very good. The
rowing was somewhat sharp, but they followed their
leader with great care, and there was a great deal of
ease as well as rapidity of motion. They rowed from
36 to 38 strokes per minute, and cleared their oars
well. The rowing was altogether good.
Oxford launched their new ship, and proceeded up
to Chiswick on the top of the ebb. Some neces-
sary alterations are suggested in the boat as
the result of the trial, and are now being carried
out. It would, of course, be unfair to
criticise the boat or the rowers upon their first
getting into her, but she seems small. They will go
out again in her in the evening, and she may suit
them well. Cambridge will not go out again to-day.

of the district-,by contract. These gentlemen haw
brought a quantity of poor and badly paying
land into condition, and a neighbouring occupier
who himself works horse-power, speaks in the highest
terms of the effect of steamlpower upon heavy lands.
The farm on which Mr. Ruck had been trying his
latest experiments consisted of 150 acres of grass-
land and 150 of arable land, all poor clay. This farm
formerly let at 14s. per acre, tithe included, but the
tenant failed to make it pay. Mr. Ruck bought the
land, and set to work to improve it by steam-power.
This year's crop of wheat is estimated at thirty
bushels per acre, but the rest of the cropping was not
so good as the wheat. The same 150 acres are now being
prepared for wheat next year by the cultivator,
which goes over the land twice. The first time it had
narrow shares on it grooving the land to a depth of four
or five inches. The second time it had wide shares on
clearing the whole to a depth of five inches. After
this it will require a cross cultivating by horses. The
cost, including the coal and water, will be about 21s.
per acre. The 150 acres gave 18 days' employment
to the engine. Mr. Ruck sells all his straw off, and
will use o cwt. of superphosphate, and 40 lbs. of
nitrate of soda per acre for his wheat. His experiment
is meant to prove that wheat can be grown after
wheat extensively on heavy clay with the aid of arti-
ficial manure. The grass land on this farm has
greatly improved by the use of steam-power, both in
quantity and quality. On two other farms ➢lr. Ruck
has obtained the same result, effecting a vast saving
in expenditure, and a great gain in increased
produce.

ORDER INSIDE PARIS.

The Pull Mall Gazette has received a letter from its cor-
respondent by balloon mail. He says that the young sol-
diers have made remarkable • progress, and rather look
down upon the line, which has everywhere been defeated.
" The capital continues to enjoy the most profound tran-
quillity, and a deputation of British correspondents has
waited on M. Jules Favre to ask for some special facilities for
making known the creditable attitude of the capital, the
order which reigns, and the determination of parties to
hush their animosities until after the departure of the
Prussians. The Minister was courteous, and promised to
consider the matter. At present we can only write
the shortest of notes on the thinnest of paper,
with no certainty of our letters being taken up
at all in the balloons which carry despatches. Barricades
are being carefully constructed for an inner line of
defence ; and you may form some idea of the intensity
of the martial fever from the fact that the chiffonniers,,
or rag and bone finders, and the bum- bailiffs, are
creating special corps. A juvenile corps, 2,000 strong,
of lads between the ages of twelve and fifteen,
has also been raised ; and, to all appearances, the de-
fence of the capital will be as vigorous as that of the other
fortified towns of France." The above extract is highly
important. It was written on Tuesday, the 27th, and
proves that all the talk about fighting in the streets of
Paris on the 25th was moonshine. The general tone of
independent witnesses touching the state of Paris is very
favourable.

NAPOLEON'S MANIFESTO.

The Telegraph observes that the cool, cynical, expe-
rienced ex-Emperor might surely have been thought one
of the last men to regard the present crisis in France
solely through the eyes of sentiment and idealism. Yet
we find him approving the refusal of the armistice by M.
Jules Favre in language almost as exalted as
that of the Foreign Minister himself—offering to
Germany in the name of France " a strict and
loyal alliance " which should take away all reason
for the existence of " a line of defence dominated
by fortresses "—giving his word to the King that
France will yield the two points of disarmament
of the strong places and a war indemnity: but,
if these terms are not accepted, will fight "to
extremities." More remarkable, however, than the
conditions to which the ex-Emperor pledges his
country are the words in which the assurance
is couched. No*, crushed, dethroned, and captive he
comes forward affirming that he has only to speak the
word, and France would consent to terms of peace against
which her present _rulers, and the whole people, by con•
tinning them in power, stand pledged. What
does he offer to France in exchange? The friendship of
Germany. And what to Germany for withdrawing her
present claims and taking money for the precious blood
of her children? The friendship of France; for neither
the payment nor the permanency of these compensations
however, has Napoleon any guarantees to offer. A simple
statement of the terms' is enough to show the utter
uselessness of putting them forward at such a crisis ;
and whether or not the ex-Emperor •is making a
bid for a return to France as the leader of her
been against Germany—or as the associate of Germany in
future designs—his manifesto equally shows that the
author, like almost every Frenchman who has spoken or
written since the war entered upon its second stage, sadly
mistakes the realities of the moment, and misreads the
signs of the times.

A VESSEL ON FIRE AT SOUTH SHIELDS.

Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, a fire broke out on
board a French vessel lying in Tyne Docks, South Shields.
Notwithstanding the active exertions of upwards of 100
men, aided by two river fire engines, and five extra pipes,
it was not extinguished till 4 o'clock in tne afternoon.
The ship was laden with Esparto grass. The cause of
the fire is supposed to have been the spontaneous com-
bustion of the grass. The name of the vessel is Surath ;
she belongs to Oran. She is 603 tons burthen, and under
the command of Captain Dabil. She is supposed to be
almost wholly destroyed.

SCHOOL BOARDS AND WORKING MEN.

The wish of the Vice-President of the Council of
Education, that the working classes should have their
own representatives on rchool boards is likely to be
realised. The Labour Representation League is by
no means idle, and in view of the approaching elec-
tions of school boards both in London and the pro-
vinces, the council has called the attention of the
working classes to the paramount and pressing
duty of exercising all their influence to
secure a fair share of representation by those
of their own order, inasmuch as their children will
be chiefly affected in the matter of education by the
action of such bodies. A series of meetings, to be
conducted under the auspices of several gentlemen
who take a deep interest in popular education, are
contemplated, and it is intended to effect by orga-
nised effort the object of the League. Operations
will be commenced as soon as the Council of Educa-
tion issues the regulations under which the elections
are to take place. Amongst the candidates anxious
to represent the labouring classes in the metropolitan
districts, the names of Mr. John Osborne, Mr. George
Howell, Mr. Applegarth, Mr. William Trant, Mr.
George Odger, and Mr. B. Lucraft are conspicuous.
The object is to secure the return of one-third of the
Board from the working classes.

THE RULES OF WAR.

Herr von Thile, Prussian Secretary of State, has issued
a circular to the German embassies relative to alleged
violations of the rules of war by the German forces. The
circular curtly denies, without exception, the charges, and
then proceeds :—" For the satisfaction of the other Powers
which have taken part in the Geneva Convention and the
declaration of St. Petersburg of the 29th November
(11th December) 1868, I may add the positive assurance
that the convention is most carefully observed
by the German troops, and that explosive balls for
hand fire-arms or for projectiles of less than 400 grammes'
weight do not exist in the whole German army.
On the other hand, well-attested facts shew the
extraordinary way in which the French Government
executes, or rather neglects to execute the conven-
tion of Geneva, for the establishment of which, as
Prince Latour d'Auvergne justly stated, they dis-
played unusual zeal. The German physicians who, after
the battle of Weissenburg, had to treat the wounded
French soldiers in the lazareth which stood under the
direction of the chief physicians Boger and Wilms,
convinced themselves that with a few rare ex-
ceptions the French soldiers were ignorant of
the significance of the white band with the red
cross. French military surgeons of high standing,
who afterwards visited the same lazareth to attend
their countrymen, were compelled to make the pro-
tecting sign for themselves, as best they could, from
the first material that offered, and they gave Prince
Putbus, the delegate of the Knights of St. John,
the distinct assurance that the French Ministry of
War had neither supplied the doctors with the
Geneva band nor directed them to wear it. • At a later
period, the French officers who' have been taken
prisoners agree in asserting that the Geneva Conven-
tion and its prescriptions as to the treatment of the
ambulances, the physicians, and the wounded are
entirely unknown in the French army. And just
for this army such instructions were unusually ne-
cessary, as the French Government have found it
consonant with the humanity, to which they appeal in
their circular of the 30th August as the cause of their
zeal for the Geneva Convention, to send into the field against
us the Turcos, who are recruited from the scum of the
town population of Northern Africa. I intend to shew
in an official protocol what have been the results of this
neglect of properly instructing the soldiers."

THE CAPITULATION OF SEDAN.

The following particulars, in answer to General de
Wimpffen's charge, have been forwarded to the Standard,
" from a French officer of distinction " :—" The report of
General de Wimpffen, which has just been published,
seems to have been written with the object of throwing
the whole responsibility of the capitulation of
Sedan upon the Emperor. All the world .knows, in
fact, that the Emperor, after having taken part in the
fight, entered Sedan a the moment when the right wing,
utterly shattered, was already blocking up with its debris
the streets of the town. The crowd was so dense that it
was impossible to clear a passage even on horseback.
The Prussian artillery occupied the heights com-
manding the position, and was making terrible
ravages among the thronging masses. In the
opinion of every general present all hopes of resistance
were gone. It is proved that it was only at this moment,
when communication with General de Wimpffen outside
the town had become utterly impossible, that the officer
bearing the flag of truce was sent out ; and nobody will
believe that the interference of the Emperor could in the
slightest degree have impeded the forward movement
that General de Wimpffen wished to make, since he him-
self avows, in his own report, " that the effective of the
troops which he had been able to rally for that purpose
was far too' weak to attempt the only line of retreat
possible in view of the disposition of the enemy's forces."
If the Emperor had thought only of himself he might
easily have accepted the offer the general made to cut his
way out, but It would have been at the price of blood use-
lessly sacrificed ; the rest of the army could not have fol-
lowed. The Emperor preferred to sacrifice himself and to
share the lot of the army.
London, England, 1870-10-04

NAPOLEON'S MANIFESTO.

The Emperor Napoleon's promised Manifesto, says the
Daily News, has at length appeared. It is addressed,
however, not to the French people, but indirectly to the
Prussian King and his Chancellor; though it is
probably intended indirectly to influence opinion
in France. It is rather a monologue spoken at
France and Germany than an appeal directly to
them. The Emperor is clearly conscious that any
expression of opinion from him will have but little
effect upon the course of the war, or of the negotia
tions to which it may eventually lead. He begins
with a half apology to the King for expressing
an opinion on the situation. But the Royal courtesy in
making him from day to day acquainted with events as
they happen appears to call for some expression by him as
to the terms which Prussia seeks to impose on France.
Ever since the fatal Fourth of September he has
imposed silence on himself, in the firm resolve to
leave full liberty to the Empress to respond to the wishes
of France. Even that fatal day has not checked his good
wishes and his pious prayers for France, and he has been
ready to take even the loss of his Dynasty, if so be that
France may be better enabled to chase the invader
beyond her natural boundaries. But the Emperor thinks
that the attempt of his successors at Paris to approach M.
de Bismarck with proposals of an armistice, and to throw
the responsibility of the war on the Imperial Govern-
ment, was a mistake. The Imperial Government, in
making the war, merely obeyed a national impulse, and to
make a sign of repudiating that impulse was to destroy
the effect of any further concessions France might make,
and to paralyse the national defence, which was then
taking really national proportions. M. de Bismarck
naturally thought the terms he offered when France asked
for them, exceedingly moderate, yet the Provisional
Government, in rejecting them as they did, was only
acting in a way worthy of the dignity of France, by re-
tracing their own imprudent and compromising step. A
duel (the Emperor adheres to his original term) like
that which is now taking place between France and Ger-
many, can only have one of two endings. It must end
in the ruin of both adversaries, or in their complete and
perfect reconciliation.

ASSAULT IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE,

On Saturday a marble merchant, named Emile Deville,
of Brussels, left Peterborough for Leicester by the last train,
to catch the mail for Nottingham. Shortly after the train left
Saxby, on the Midland line, a stranger entered the com-
partment occupied by Deville, who was asleep in
one corner of it. On awaking near Brooksley
he rubbed his hands over his face, when the stranger who
sat opposite struck him on the head with a stick. Deville,
who is a powerful man, seized his assailant, whom he
expected meant robbery, and a scuffle took place, during
which the stranger threw something like a revolver out of
the window. Deville held him until he cried
for mercy. When he was released, and the
train was approaching Brooksley station, the
stranger opened the carriage door, and jumped out,
and effected his escape. On the train arriving at the
station Deville reported the affair to the stationmaster,
and a guard went back with a train to the distance
pointed out, but no trace of the individual could be found.
A carpet bag, parcel, and stick broken in two were found
in the compartment, which may possibly lead to the
dentification of the man. The police are investigating
the matter.

THE QUEEN 'ND THE EX-EMPRESS.--Lord Alfred
Paget, on the part of her Majesty the Queen has paid a_
visit of sympathy to the ex-Empress of the French atChisle-
hurst. Lord Alfred was wisely appointed for the duty,
inasmuch as he was in attendance upon the Emperor
and Empress during their visit to London,
and was personally well known to both of them.
In the course of the interview the Empress ex-
pressed herself grateful for the kindness and courtesy
exhibited towards her by the public since her arrival in
this country.—Telegraph.
THE SIEGE OF PARlS.—Private communications
from Paris, under the date of the 30th, and official docu-
ments in addition to the letters which appear in another
portion of our impression, have been received in London.
The aspect of the city is said to be very orderly,
while the spirit of the inhabitants and of the mili-
tary forces is reported to be resolute and unflinch-
ing. General Trochu is unremitting in his exer-
tions to improve the discipline of the forces at his
disposal ; and a sentiment of hope and courage pervade
every class of the community. There are no signs at this
date of despair or of misgiving.

THE TIEN-TSIN MASSACRE.

The Chinese seem in no hurry to make reparation for
' the Tientsin outrage. The time has passed by for the
fulfilment of the conditions which were required by the
French Minister, and no explanation has been given of
the cause of the delay. It is also said that the. Chinese
are engaged in war preparations. This indifference on
their part is partly attributed to the unfortunate state of
affairs in France at the present moment. The Chinese
were supposed to agree to all the terms demanded by
Count de Rochechouart, with the exception of those
which called for the 'punishment of the leading rioters,
and the execution of the city magistrate of Tientsin,
and of Chun-kroo-Tien. the French Minister cannot be
said to have exacted hard conditions when the nature of
the outrage is taken into consideration, but the officials
appeared unwilling to entertain the propositions at first,
and only too glad to avoid compliance when circumstances
favoured their refusal. The affair is a serious one, for if
the Chinese authorities are allowed t 3 get the better of the
representative of France through the peculiar position of
that country, the other nations of Europe will infallibly
suffer in the long run from the unchecked exercise of the
barbarous triumph. Th 3 massacre at Tientsin was too.
horrible in its character and too significant in its
carrying out to be passed over with impunity, and
the worst results may be expected to follow from the
tyranny of the dominant class in China, The Chinese
are said to be making warlike preparations, and to be
buying and rapidly manufacturing arms. This would
seem to indicate that they are doubtful as to the
consequences of their own ill-advised proceedings.

WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING,

A. writer in the Times signing himself " Scrutator,"
attached to the 6th German Army Corps, brings a
serious charge against several gentlemen who have
gone to the theatre of war as agents for the charitable
societies which are doing such admirable work
among the sick and wounded. The ostensible mission
of these gentlemen is to relieve the sufferings of the
wounded of both armies; but according to the accusation
made against them by " Scrutator," who assumes a
very confident and unhesitating tone, their real
object is far removed from any charitable or kindly
feeling. They are, he says, purely and simply news-
paper correspondents in disguise, and so effectually
have: they sustained their assumed character that
even the astute Bismarck has been deceived, whilst
the great strategist Von Moltke has had his
flank "cleverly turned." The writer says he is
prepared to give the names of members of Parlia-
ment and officers in the army and navy, who have
adopted this expedient in order to obtain informa-
tion. If these gentlemen have performed any
charitable work, they have either immediately
departed for England, so as to supply the newspaper
with which they may be connected with
descriptions of battles, or have remained
behind and acted as paid correspondents.
This is a serious charge to make, especially against
members of the British Parliament, and it is to be
hoped, for the credit of the country, that the gentle-
men alluded to in the letter will be able to prove that
they have practised no such mean deception.
London, England, 1870-10-04

PROSPECT OF FRESH NEGOTIATIONS.

The Times, commenting on the late interview, says it is
probable that Count Bismarck and M. Jules Favre will
again be brought into diplomatic relations, and no one can
tell how soon this may be. Every week is pregnant with
new evepts, and these-may so far change the conditions
of the struggle that a French Envoy may once more
be received at the Prussian Head-Quarters. The late
attempt at an accommodation is therefore interesting
not only as an attempt to avert the siege of Paris, but
as indicating the basis on which the Chancellor of
the North German Confederation will persist in treating
as long as the fortune of war shall favour the Prussian
arms. M. Favre is the chief Minister of France, and on
him it may rest to decide whether this war shall continue
until the country is wasted and ruined, or brought to a
close on terms which, though unwelcome andinvolving areal
sacrifice, need not be dishonourable. He must be ready
to meet Count Bismarck in Prussian fashion, and to bargain
with him for the best terms attainable. We wish we could
believe, remarks the Tima, that th ese terms could be bettered
by the appeals of M. Favre to the moderation of the victor;
or by his assurances of the repentance of the vanquished.
But it is plain that sentiment must be banished from any
future interview. The French negotiator must seek ad-
vantage from other sources. The best of those, of course,
is military success; the General who could c)mpel the
raising of the siege of Paris would furnish M. Favre
with better arguments than any which moral considera-
tions could supply. But, failing this, be must look to
what will recommend itself to the Germans on the score
of material advantage, and endeavour to satisfy their
demands, while entailing the least sacrifices and the least
permanent burdens on the French people.

The failure has been notified of Messrs. Walker,

it to " the unprofitable nature of the trade for some years

and credit," and that a favourable liquidation is
expected.

from London, at half-past one this morning, about one
Mile from Whitmore, on the North Western Railway.
A goods train was proceeding in front of the express,
and three miles from where the accident occurred
the driver of the latter train had received the
caution • signal ; but going at the rate of twenty
banes an hour he overtook the goods train, and a collision
took place. The break van of the goods train was turned
over, but the breaksman escaped with a cut and bruised
ankle. Thirteen persons are injured, four seriously.
The following were taken to the Crewe Arms, at Crewe,

THE WAR.

EARL G-RANVILLE'S ANSWER

TO M. THIERS.

It appears that the answer given by Earl
Granville to M. Thiers, when the latter visited
England, was a sort of general declaration against
Mediation. The mission of the French statesman was
to procure the intervention of the other Powers in.
favour of France. The English Foreign Minister
replied that Germany alone had made the war and
Germany alone could make peace. Speaking of the
I'mperor, M. Thiers expressed his belief that his
restoration was an impossibility. The English
4loister, according to reports in the foreign papers,
coincided in this view.

THE ENGAGEMENT OF CLAMART.

The correspondentof the Standard at the Crown Prince's
headquarters, at Versailles, furnishes the following par-
ticulars of the above engagement :—" The sth Corps
d'Arm6e, which, as you are aware, forms part of the force
under the immediate command of the Croivn Prince, was
marching forward with orders to occupy Versailles, by
Epinay, Longjumeau, Palaiseau, Bievre, and Jouy-
en-Josas. On its extreme right was a brigade
under the direction of General Von Voigts-Retz—
by no means the only general of that name in the
Prussian service--covering its advance. When the
covering party reached Plessis-Piquet it found itself in
presence of a considerable French force, which I have
heard put as high as 30,000 strong, and which none put at
lower than 20,000. Voigts-Retz's brigade certainly did
not number more than three thousand ; but as he did not
wish to interfere with the march of the main corps d'armee
on Versailles he held his gnroud with indomitable gallantry,
though the enemy was tremendously strong in artillery.
Luckily a division of the second Bavarian army
corps was marching in the same direction, but by the
route of Antony and Chatenay. Their appearance at
once changed the aspect of affairs. It is not generally
considered that the Bavarians are particularly well
handled, but their dash and determination on this
occasion stood them in good 'stead. Whilst the brigade
originally engaged was now able to press the
enemy back from Plessis-Piquet to Clamart, the
Bavarians forced them upon Chatillcn, where a redoubt
has ,recently been in course of construction, and yet
remained unfinished. The upshot of the struggle, which
raged over all the ground lying between Villaconblay,
Plessis-Piquet, and Chatillon in one direction, and from
the woods of Meudon to Fontenay and Bagneux in the
other, was that the redoubt at Chatillon was carried, with
most of its guns, which are now turned upon Fort Mont-
rouge, that they are said to command. I repeat this upon
no idle rumour. I have it on the best military authority,
though, of course, even best military authority may be
mistaken. 'lt would cost them 10,000 men to take it
from us again,' was the utterance to-day of a distinguished
officer. The entire loss on the German side in this affair
is said to be not more than 300. Jouy held a certain num-
ber of wounded as I drove through it this morning, but
the greater part have been brought on here. All the
barracks are filled with fighting men ; so the famous
galleries of the Palace have been turned into an
hospital, and it is quite on the cards that Trianon,
both big and little, may yet be made to answer the same
purpose.

ship left America for the same destination with arms
and ammunition. On the 17th of September a French
steamer which left New York for Brest and Home
took 26 rifled cannon, 400,000 cartridges, and several
thousand rifles."
