THE LATE LORD ABERDEEN.

The melancholy circumstances of Lord Aberdeen's
death, while on his passage from America to Mel-
bourne, are made additionally painful by the fact that

the nobleman was only in the 29th year of his age.
His lordship, who was the sixth Earl of Aberdeen,
sat in the House of Lords as Viscount Gordon. He
succeeded his father in the year 1864, and in 1868
he left England for Canada, where he remained until
his departure on his recent ill-fated voyage. Since
..,..... ..

1861 the earl has been captain of the 2nd Aberdeen-
shire Rifle Volunteers. It was the fourth Earl of
Aberdeen who was First Lord of the Treasury from
1852 to 1855. The family is descended from a
common ancestor with the Marquis of Huntly. The
new Earl of Aberdeen will be the second brother of
the deceased John Campbell Gordon.

LARGE SPOTS ON THE SUN.

A member of the Observing Astronomical Society,
writing from Bristol, says that at the present time
the sun presents an interesting appearance in conse-
quence of many dark spots being visible on various
portions of the disc. These are so large and well-
defined that they can be distinctly seen with a small
telescope. They are also visible through a smoky
glass. The largest spots may be seen about thirty
degrees above the equator, and are therefore situated
in the sun's northern hemisphere. The individual
spots are of all sizes and forms, and are constantly
changing in their shape and appearance. He adds
that he observed the enormous spots visible in April
and May last, but he thinks that these are as nume-
rous, if not so large.

A Glasgow clerk was on Wednesday fined for
having put into a public cab a boy who was suffering
from typhus fever. He intended to have the boy taken to
the Fever Hospital, but did not say a word to the driver
about the boy's condition.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills are
an infallible remedy for bad legs, and all kinds of wounds.
The surprising sale of these invaluable remedies in every
part of the civilised world is the most convincing proof of
their efficacy, of which, were further proof required, the
long-list of voluntary testimonials received from grateful
patients in all quarters of the globe would amply supply
it. They speedily cure bad legs, old wounds, scrofula,
and all diseases of the skin. Thousands of persons,
who had long and severely suffered from these dread-
ful maladies have been cured by these medicaments after
other moans had failed ; and it is a fact beyond all doubt
that there is not a case, however obstinate, or however
long-standing, which they fail to relieve.

PARIS NEWS OF WAR.

REPORTED VICTORIES OF MAC,
AIATION AND BAZAINE.

DEFEAT OF FRENCL REAR,

GUARD.
PARIS, SEPT. 1 (Evening).

No official intelligence has been puLl ished to-day.
Nevertheless, the evening papers unanimously assert
that serious fighting has been proceeding during the
last three days.
A rumour was current yesterday that the victory
of Marshal Bazaine on the 26th of last month near
Courcelles on the road to St. Avoid has been
positively re-affirmed.

The Peuple Francais states that MacMahon's
rearguard, under General De Failly, was attacked
by Prussian troops of the Royal Guard on the day
before yesterday, and that the result was favourable
to the latter, although with heavy losses. Other
accounts say that General De Failly was surprised
by the enemy

It is stated that Mac Mahon assumed the offensive
Yesterday, destroyed the Prussian left wing, and
forced the Crown Prince to fall back upon Clermontq
la the Argonne hills.
Bazaine is said not to have been engaged since
the 26th of last month.
Railway communication has been established be-
tWeen Rheims and Epernay. No confirmation#
however, has been received respecting the report
that Prussian forces are still between Epernay and
Chalons, marching towards Paris,

THE BRITISH ARMS.

The Manchester Courier, in an article on the condition of
the British army, says it needs but a few moments' reflection
to bring home to every mind the fact that at the present
time when England's dangers are greater than they have
been since the day of the news of the Indian mutiny was
made public her powers of defence are smaller than
ever.

YELLOW FEVER DI SPAIN.

The continual presence of yellow fever in Spain,
creates great uneasiness and apprehension. The
epidemic has shown itself on the coasts of the Levant,
and along the Mediterranean, and the mischief
caused by the panic its presence produces, is greater
than the actual loss caused by the disease. As long
as it was confined to Barcelona, matters were not so
serious, in fact the Spanish press accused the Govern-
ment of indifference and apathy. So soon as the
fever displayed itself in Tortosa, Valencia, and
Alicante, however, the alarm spread, and its effects on
the trade and industry of the affected localities were
immediately perceptible. The inconsistency of the
various authorities in their attempts to
enforce quarantine, to fumigate goods, to
search travellers, &c., seems to have increased the
panic, and to have seriously interrupted business
without preventing the spread of the disorder. The
Spanish papers complain bitterly of the lack of a
systematic and firmly upheld code of regulations,
applicable to all cities and frontier line 3, which
should really control the transit of infected
persons or merchandise without unnecessarily
hampering trade and impeding commercial enterprise.
At Barcelona work of all kinds is absolutely para-
lysed. This is not surprising, as that city has actually
been the seat of the disorder; but at Seville, where
the fever has not yet made its appearance, many
shops and warehouses aro shut up altogether, and
the whole business of the place is in a deplorable
condition. A. vigorous and consistent plan of action,
says the Bpoca, must be at once resolved on by the
Government and carried out with promptitude and
determination. It cannot be longer tolerated that
anarchy should reign in so important a matter.

THE IRISH A.M.BULINCE CORPS.

The Freeman's Journal supplies a special account of the
reception given to the Irish Ambulance Corps in France,
which has attracted much attention in Dublin as throw-
ing light on the character the Irish contingent obtains at
the " seat of war." At hall-past eight on last
Thursday morning (says the Freeman) two bat-
talions of artillery and three companies of
Garde Nationale assembled on the boulevard to receive
the Irish Ambulance. At nine o'clock the trumpets
sounded, the drums beat, and presently all the
troops were on the march. On arriving at the
Quay, the military, accompanied by an immense
concourse of people, found the staff of the Irish
ambulance iu attendance. As soon as the troops came in
sight loud cries of " Vive l'lrelande," " Vice la France,"
broke forth on all sides. The enthusiasm was in-
describable. Each company passed into the tent in
which the staff of the ambulance - was stand-
ing, and defiled • before them. Detachments of
customs officers, of Gardes - Mobiles of the
Oise, of Eclaireurs h Cheval, and of sailors,
came successively to salute our brave allies. At half-past
ten the authorities arrived." Then speeches were made
by the Sous-Prefet and M. Siegfried, the former of whom
declared his belief that this would prove the last war
between crowned monarchs ;" and announced that "the
affection of .the Irish and French people for each other
was so great that it could. not become any
greater. France accepted the help of Ireland
as a matter of course—in the same way that ono
old friend supports himself by another." Alderman
McCann and Mr. Smith, of the Irish deputation, said—
" Ireland is the sister of France, attached by historic ties.
It was the Irish people's wish to separate themselves from
the shameful indifference of the rest of Europe. The
Irish would be with the French and for the French unto
death."

SHIPPING CASUALTIES.

Yesterday the crew of the schooner Nympn, of Abe-
rystwith, were landed at Yarmouth. Their vessel, which
was bound from Runcorn to Harlingen, was caught in the
late gales when about forty miles off Yarmouth, and
sprung a leak. The water gained upon her rapidly, and
scarcely had the crew left in their boat when she went
down. They were subsequently picked up by a smack.
A Yarmouth lugger, laden with herrings, foundered on
Sunday about ten miles off that port, the crew being saved
by the life lugger Stonewall Jackson.

A VALUABLE LIBRARY DECLINED.
Two years ago the Earl of Lichfield, as Lord• Lieutenant
of Staffordshire, announced that Mrs: W. Salt, in ac-
cordance with her late husband's wishes, had placed Mr.
Salt's library at the disposal of the county, on certain
conditions, the principal being that a suitable building
should be provided, and that a librariau should be ap
pointed. The library cost the deceased gentleman over
£30,000. His Lordship, after endeavouring to arouse
the interest of the county in various ways, yesterday, at the
Qnarter Sessions, announced that he had advised Mrs.
Salt to give the library to the British Museum.

TILE ADVANCE ON ROUEN.

In a letter dated Fleury-sur-Andelle?, October 16, the
correspondent of the Standard says :—" A pleasant ride
through a pleasant country, on a fine October afternoon,
forms an agreeable break in the monotony of Rouen life,
and there was just that spice of excitement about this
ramble that there was a possibility of a puff of smoke
from the plantations ahead, denoting the presence of the
enemy. But • the Prussians knew better. They
were aware that there was a large force in front of them,
and they regulated their movements accordingly, and if
they were in the woods they kept there. Yesterday
afternoon (October 14th) they had a brush with the 3rd
Hussars. The commander of the hussars had stationed
a man in the belfry of Etrepagny church to look out, and
throw out a picket in front. The look-out signalled
a Arong Prussian column advancing, and it advanced
so rapidly that the picket on outpost duty wai hemmed
in before it could fall back. The officer in command,
however, knew his business, and cut his way through with
trifling loss, but received four wounds—three sabre cuts
and a lance thrust, none of them serious. The main body
then advanced and opened fire on the Uhlans, who fell back;
a body of their infantry then came up and occupied the
woods between Fleury, Etrepagny, and Ecoins. But at 3
o'clock this morning, hearing that there was a large force
advancing against them, they made a requisition of all
the spades, shovels, and pickaxes in the neighbourhood,
awl vanished. ' Come like shadows, so depart,' seems
to be their motto. It is to be regretted that during the
reconnaissance to-day a few shells were not thrown into
the woods, as that would have speedily settled the ques-
tion as to whether the enemy were lurking there or not.
It is obvious that they will not now resume their advance
on Rouen until they receive large accessions to
their numbers. The general belief is that they have
evacuated Normandy; but the point is not satisfactorily
ascertained. The reconnaissance to-day was conducted by
General Gudin, who rode like a centaur, and whose fine,
soldierly bearing produced a most favourable impression
en the National Guards and the troops, and shewed the
injustice of the sneers of the Radical papers about his
age. The troops and National Guards continue to
occupy the Valley of the Andelle, and you may rest
assured that the strong detensive positions it affords
will be stoutly held in the event of another Prussian ad-
vance being attempted. If attempted it must be at-
tempted in force, and pro tent. the raids of Messieurs
les Uhlans on the right bank of the Seine may be con
sidered at an end."

GERMAN UNITY.

The Manchester Examiner, in an article on German
Unity, thinks that Bismarck, in his endeavour to obtain
that object, is in danger of being foiled by his own wea-
pons. The German victories have been almost too deci-
sive ; they have extinguished that fear of France which
was so useful as a means of political coercion. Moreover,
the large and almost disproportionate share of fighting
has been done by the South German troops. The re-
sult is that the people of Bavaria and Wurtemburg
feel themselves rather stronger in the back than formerly,
and less disposed than ever to stoop at the order of
Bismarck. They want Germany for the Germans, not
for the House of Hohenzollern, and are disposed to insist
upon terms which, though quite compatible
.with the
national idea, would scatter to the wind the policy which,
has been so artfully constructed at Berlin.

The efficacy of camp meetings on the coloured
mind is put beyond the shadow of a doubt by the con-
templation of the results achieved in a recent "exhort"
near Nashville. A thoughtless son of Afric delighted
the ebon companion of his joys and sorrows by " experi-
encing religiOn" and turning from the frequent follies of
jig dancing and other plantation extravagances. For a
time the repentant Christian faithfully adhered to his
duty and eschewed rigidly the vanities of the dance,
without a lapse of " jigging said piping," but finally weak
human nature fell befoic the allurements of a barbecue.
Sambo's baptized feet, when the fiddle struck up, twisted
and jerked till they ached with sinful hankering after
one more breakdown. Finally, when the spirit and the
flesh could no longer stand temptation., he fled to the
woods beyond the reach of the music, and " wrestled," as
he said, " with the old Adam in them legs about all
night."—Ncw York Tribune.

REDUCTION OP FRANCE TO A SECOND-RATE POWER.

The Standard commenting on the announcement from
tours, that the delegate of the Ministry for Foreign
Affairs has issued two circulars, the first in date combat-
ing Count Bismarck's arguments, and establishing that
Liberal France never opposed the unity of Germany ;
the second, showing that the Government of Berlin
really desires to reduce France to the rank of a second-rate
Power, observes : The demonstration of the intentions of the
Government of Prussia to reduce France to the rank of a
second-rate Power is quite superfluous. The fact of that
intention is too clear to all Frenchmen, and a circular or
a memorandum intended to establish it is a work of supe-
rerogation and of waste so far as France is concerned. No
loubt there are politicians in England who pretend that
France would remain a great and perfectly inde-
pendent Power, with a large German army at Met;
and who repeat calculations as to population and square
miles supplied them by German newspapers, whilst
forgetting or being ignorant of the purpose with which
these same papers advocate the disintegration of France.
But no eloquence of M. Jules Favre or his locum
tenens would convince those who desire to see
France dismembered that she would suffer by it,
and none is needed to convince impartial observers that
the terms of peace Prussia proposes would reduce France
to the rank of a second-rate Power. What is to be the
end if G ermany has its own way is plain enough.
Frenchmen, who are chiefly concerned, see it clearly.
All foreign observers with look at the question im-
partially see it quite as distinctly ; and it is, therefore,
to be regretted that, at a time when talk is thoroughly
out of place, the Provisional Government should have
issued a circular which could be of no possible utility,
and which, so far as it can have any influence, dis-
tracts the attention of the nation from the work it has
to do.

BELGIUM AND GERMANY.

The sympathy of the Belgian Liberal press for
Vance has produced complaints from the German
Government. These representations seem to
"Are produced some effect. The Catholic
Liberal
have published articles urging their
Itaheral contemporaries, who are " the offenders,"
to cease their protests against the an-
nexation of Alsace and Lorraine, and the official
40.niteur of Brussels has reproduced these articles,
as if the Government were of opinion, too, that the
iaZiceptibilities of Germany ought to be consulted.
e result is a vehement press quarrel on the subject.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5,
Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years
this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number
of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan
adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London
and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and
faithful addresses have been given.
During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly
every week in some of the most frequented districts of the
metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen ones.
To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are
earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John
Stabb, Hon. Sec., 5, [led Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the
Union Bank of London (Carey-street Branch), W.C.

ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IN CORK.

As Mr. Bull, Deputy Clerk of the Peace, was walking
through Patrick-street, Cork, between 11 and I'2 o'clock
last night, he was fired at with a revolver by one of three
persons who stood close to the footway. Mr. Bull rushed
at his assailant and struck him with a stick. The three
men then attacked him severely. Some persons coming
to his aid, a general melde ensued, during which the man
who fired the shot escaped, but the police arrested his
companions.

LICENSED NURSERIES.

The trial of the woman Waters brought out,
prominently, the evils of a system of which she was
a great professor ; but it seems as if some good is to
come from the revelations made. A meeting has
been held at which it was agreed to establish an
association with the high-sounding title of the
"Infant Life Protection Society." Mr. Charley, the
übiquitous member for Salford, lent his chambers for
the meeting to be held in, and at its conclusion was
appointed treasurer pro tem. As there was a clergy-
man and a doctor present some practical scheme to
do away with the evils of baby-farming seems likely
to be hatched from this combination of Church, bar,
and physic.

TIE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY. OCTOBER 18, 1870.

THE IRISH AND THE APPROACHING WEDDING.

Some people are never satisfied ; others try to be
and cannot, which is the case with our friends of the
Sister Islo at the present time ? Even the approach-
ing marriage of the Princess Louise is looked on as

" the germ of an Irish question "—at least the Con-
servative Daily Exp ess asks the question if it may
not become one. The old cry of " Justice to
Ireland " is said by the same paper to demand that
our Hibernian neighbours should number amongst
them the remaining unmarried princess or
one of the three bachelor princes. The
Cork Examiner, looking at the matter
in a pecuniary point of view, sagely remarks that
"to be the wife of one of the richest peers in Great
Britain and the head of the princely house of Camp-
bell is something better than to fall into the hands
of some needy German adventurer." The Constitution
thinks there will be a natural suspicion of underhand
influence, and for that reason concludes that the
alliance " will not be received with favour in English
circles." With a strange unanimity our friends
across the water seem to ignore the fact that Cupid
has had anything to do with the approaching
nuptials, and only look at the occurrence with a
political telescope.
FRENCH REFUGEES IN ENGLAND.

It is gratifying to find that the plans for giving
immediate practical assistance to the hundreds of
French families daily arriving in our midst, friend-
less, homeless, and often well-nigh penniless, are
already assuming definite shape. The several
persons interested in the subject have wisely com-
bined their efforts, and have divided the work among
' them so as to prevent all antagonism or conflicting
interests. The Central Committee, we learn from
Mr., Bennoch, the hon. secretary, is to meet in the
City under the presidency of the Lord Mayor. Its
functions will be to collect subscriptions, grant
pecuniary help, and find employment for those able
to work. '['he Western branch, or ladies' committee,
over which the Dowager Lady Lothian presides,
will take charge of friendless women, and arrange

with private families willing to receive them. Thus
the two committees will materially aid each other.
The ladies' committee appeal to persons
owning empty houses anywhere in the
West of London to place a few at their
disposal for the next few months. Two such houses
have been temporarily allotted to them and accom-
modate fifty females, but one hundred deserving
cases have been investigated, and room is a prime
necessity. Meanwhile those persons, in any part of
the country, who are anxious to assist in relieving
some portion of the undeserved suffering caused by
this disastrous war can easily find means of forward-
ing the good work by communicating with either of
the committees.

morrow.

According to the Echo du Parlenzent of Saturday
the statement that General Boyer, first aide-de-camp
to Marshal Bazaine, had left Metz for Versailles to
negotiate for the capitulation of that fortress, appears
to be authentic.

News also comes from Calais that M. Laurier,
secretary of Mr. Gambetta, arrived there from Tours
on Monday, and left in the mail packet La France, en
route direct to London.

The Manchester Examiner's Berlin correspondent
confirms the statement that an officer had been des-
patched by Marshal Bazaine to the headquarters of
King William, to negotiate for the capitulation of
Metz. The result of the mission is not yet known.
The besieging force is reported to have completed
their rifle pits and trenches and to have mounted
batteries with twelve-pounder guns, which throw.
twenty-four pounder shells.

METZ.

EPERNAY, OCT. 13.

After the recent battle before Metz a French
Parliamentaire had an interview with Prince Frederick
Charles, and, no definite result having ensued, he
proceeded by special train to the Head-quarters of
the King. He passed through Nancy and Epernay
yesterday,

It is stated that within the past fortnight 100,000
stand of arms have reached the French army from

America.

THE SPANISH THRONE,

The candidature of the Duke of Aosta for the
Spanish Throne is supported by General Cialdiui.
The negotiations have not yet taken any official
shape, they have not got beyond the preliminary
pourparlers phage ; but the project is one not at all
unlikely to be attended with results. The candi-
dature of this Prince has been mentioned before ;
but the obstacles which induced his father, King
Victor Emmanuel, to discountenance it no longer
exist. There is now, for example, no anxiety about
the succession to the Italian Crown.

WAR ENTHUSIASM IN FRANCE.

It has been said that a peace party exists in
France. A German, who writes to the limes, says it
is difficult to find traces of such a party among
modern French Liberals. On the other hand, it is
only too easy to point out partisans of " natural
boundaries" and of "legitimate influence" among
representative men of all shades of opinion. M.
Gambetta and the late M. Prevost-Paradol are types
of modern Liberals of different degrees. Gambetta
was enthusiastic for the war, and Prevost-Paradol,
in his book of "La France Nouvelle,"
maintained that peace would mean the
same thing for France as defeat He allowed
that France was in no danger of being in-
vaded, but said that its legitimate influence was at
stake. There are in France some few individuals
who have given signs of a peaceful disposition, but
among all the numerous political parties there
is none which can claim the confidence
of Germany.' The strip of land which Ger-
many considers absolutely necessary as a
guarantee is the same size as that which France
took from Italy in 1860. • France will remain a
powerful state, although the French may have to
modify the popular dictum, " Quand Paris est con-
tent©, l'li:urope est tranquille." It is highly desirable
that this German correspondent should supply one
deficiency in his letter. Would he kindly point out
on what occasion M. Gambetta shewed himself
"enthusiastic for the war?"
