MR. MILL ON TIIE

Mr. J. S. Mill and Mr. Fronde have each addressed
a letter to the Times on the subject of Prince Gorts-
ehakoff's Circular. Mr. Mill thinks, and he believes
that he represents the opinion of a large
section of his countrymen, that if England allows
herself to be drawn into a war simply by the provo-
cation which has been roc Aired through the Russian
declaration, it would be nothing less than monstrous.
Had we, he maintains, at the outbreak of the present
" hateful" war, proclaimed that whichever nation first
invaded the territory of the other, should have Eng-
land also for its foe, we should in all human pro-
bability have prevented the war, and perhaps given
commencement to a new era in the settlement of
international differences. Not having done this, Mr.
Mill thinks we have justly exposed ourselves to the
recriminations of the suffering people of France and
Germany. Those who cause England to plunge into
a war, infinitely more dangerous to ourselves, will
receive the execration of this people. The hon-
our of England, he declares, is not concerned either
in the protection of Turkey, or in the humiliation of

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

The November session commenced to-day, the calen-
dar containing the names of only fifty male and seven-
teen female prisoners for trial. Edward Searey is
charged with the wilful murder of a shoemaker in Mary-
lebone. Prisoner and deceased had quarrelled, and in
the disturbance the latter was mortally stabbed. Among
several cases of manslaughter is one againet John and
Margaret Pursell, of having starved their child to death.
Mary Hall will appear to answer a charge of palming a
suppositious child upon Mr. Loe. Another case of public
interest is that of John M`Donald, charged with contra-
vening the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act, by
enlisting a number of persons to take service in the French
army.

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.)
CONSECRATION OF A CHURCH.

The new church at Highclere, Hants, at which place
Lord Carnarvon has a seat, was consecrated for Divine
worship on Saturday, by the Lord Bishop of Winchester.
The new building is considered to be one of the purest
models of the early English period. It was designed by
Mr. Gilbert Scott, and erected at a cost of nearly £6,000.
With the exception of the organ and a few articles of
church furniture, the whole of the cost was borne by Lord
Carnarvon. The Lord Bishop of Winchester preached
the morning sermon, with his accustomed eloquence.
Lord Carnarvon afterwards entertained at luncheon, at
the Castle, about 150 of the clergy and gentry of the
neighbourhood, and also provided dinner for about 150 of
the tenantry and labourers of the pariah. Addresses were
afterwards delivered by Lord Carnarvon, the Lord Bishop
of Winchester, and others. In the course of the addresses
special attention was made of his lordship's!, muni-
ficence and disinterestedness in allowing the removal
of the church from its old site, which was contiguous to
the castle, and of course convenient to his lordship's family
and household, the present church being about one mile
and a quarter from the castle, but in close proximity to
the village and schools of Highclere.

problem. The Improved Industrial Dwellings Com-1
piny, of which Sir Sydney Waterlow is the repre- •
sentative, some years eight years ago, convinced that
they could construct substantial and commodious
houses for the poor at a comparatively small rental,
and yet receive a satisfactory return upon their out-
lay, initiated a movement which has resulted
in the erection of more than 1,000 dwellings.
The company have invested £200,000, and they re-
ceive a regular dividend of 5 per cent on the capital.
A block of large buildings has just been opened by
the Duke of Cambridge, containing 175 separate
apartments, all well adapted for the domestic re-
quirements of the working classes. So popular are
these buildings that all the apartments have already
been let. The sanitary arrangements are excellent,
and the apartments are so constructed that the
tenants enjoy all the advantages of residential sepa-
ration with the additional conveniences of a large
building. The only part of the block used in common
is the drying and recreation ground. It iahighly
probable that the system of building flats and blocks
will become much more extensive after the success
which has attended the enterprise of the Improved
Industrial Dwellings' Company.

SPREAD OF SCARLET FEVER.

Dr. LankeAer has just held an inquest at
Kensington which throws some light on the means
by which scarlet fever is spread. A child three years
old was suffering from illness, and on the mother
taking it to the Union she was refused admission on
the ground that it bad scarlet fever. Being advise I
to take it to the Fever Hospital at Islington, she
employed a cab for the purpose, but the child died
on the road. It appeared from the evidence that
the fever was one of a very malignant kind. In the
course of the inquest a letter was read which had
been addressed to the relieving officer asking
what course the parish should adopt to check the
spread of the disease, there being six or seven
cases in the same street where the child
had lived. In the case referred to there
was great danger of disseminating the disease by
means of the cab which had been employed to convoy
the child to Islington. Besides this, much ignorance
prevailed with respect to the symptoms and treat-
ment of the fever at the time of its first appearance.
Dr. Lankester has shown on several occasions that
serious consequences may follow from the supposition
that scarlatina and. scarlet fever are different diseases.
He states it cannot be too extensively known that
they are one and the same disease, and that the
mildest Cases may communicate the most destructive
forms of the malady.

LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1870.

THE Eastern Question is now the chief topic of
the day, and we may expect to meet on all sides
with advice, exhortations, and suggestions as to the
best mode of proceeding in this awkward affair. It
is always rather an invidious task to afford counsel
under such circumstances, and it cannot be
said that either Mr. FROUDE or Mr. MILL
have thrown any light on the subject, or
made any useful comment, Mr. FROUDE remarks very
justly that everyone has a right to say what he
thinks is likely to arrest the frightful calamity of a
war; but the question is whether ho goes the right
way to work to do so. The strange thing is, that
instead of explaining away :Prince GORTSCHAKOFVB
Note, he admits the manner of it to be
so " studiously offensive " that it looks as
if Russia wished to provoke a contest or else pub-
licly to humiliate us. Yet, after all this, he declares
that great nations must not not go to battle for a
fault of manner. Tho chief argument he employs
against the prosecution of a war is the probability
of the United States siding with the Russians,
and war with America being the imme-
diate consequence. Mr. FROUDE thinks
that even now a change of front could be
made without any undue sacrifice of dignity on our
part, and that before we resent an affront to our-
' selves we should consider the misery which such a
war might inflict upon the human race. This is
taking, however, a very false estimate of the case,
because, according to this theory, it would be
almost impossible to draw a line where con-
' cession must end and action take place.
Should Russia, in open defiance of justice and
reason, violate the stipulations of Treaties in which
she took part, England cannot possibly be held re-
sponsible for any consequences that may ensue from
a war thus forced upon her. If she stand firm to
principle, and insist on the maintenance of existing
promises, she will have fulfilled her duty to her own
people and to the nations of Europe which look to her
for counsel and support in this dark hour of distress
and perplexity. Mr. MILL declares that the honour
of England is not concerned in the protection of
Turkey and the humiliation of Russia, and that

Owing to the benevolent and praiseworthy exertions which

An urgent appeal is therefore made for assistance to support
the inmates.

A. CASE FOIL TILE VICTORIA CROSS.

On the 11th of this month a remarkable and
characteristic event was celebrated by the 54th West
Norfolk Regiment at the Curragh Camp. The day
was the anniversary of a terrible fire on board the
Sarah Sands, as the vessel with this regiment and
many women and children were outward bound for
India. In the midst of the ocean a cry of fire was
raised, the chronicle of the disaster informs us, but it
was some little time before everyone on board knew
the extent of the peril to which they were exposed,
the danger being enhanced tenfold by the fact
that there was a large quantity of ammunition in
the hold of the ship. The account of the
manner in which some of the bravo and
hardy soldiers of the 54th acted, when sud-
denly the crowd of human souls huddled
together at one end of the chip were told by the
officers that there was no hope for the vessel, and
that every man should decide the manner in which
the few boats on board should be stored reflects
most creditably upon the regiment. Carefully
but rapidly these men lifted all the women and
children into the ship's boats, and having pushed the
latter away from the apparently doomed Sarah
Sands, they began to volunteer for the task of
entering the hold and flinging out the ammunition
barrels into the waves. The deed was
successfully accomplished ; but never was
there greater appearance of a forlorn
hope never wore the courage and disci-
pline of British soldiers more terribly brought to
task. Dismasted and burnt to the waters
edge, the Sarah Sands, with her living freight all
well, ultimately reached the Mauritius. A. parallel
act of heroism is recorded in connection with the
sinking of the troopship Birkenhead. But in that
instance, hardly had the women and children been
safely lowered into the boats, when the vessel went
down with all the men yet aboard into the deep.
A claim is now being raised on behalf of the still
living members of the 54th Regiment who throw
out the powder from the Sarah Sands, and few will
deny the legitimacy of these fellows receiving what
is asked for them—the Victoria Cross.

THE DUKE OF AOSTA.

An odd story is told respecting some of the earlier
difficulties in the way of making the Duke of Aosta
King of Spain. It will be remembered that the
candidature of this prince was proposed once before
—ere the unfortunate Hohenzollern selection was
so much as thought of. King Victor Emmanuel
was favourable to the project, but the Duke
himself refused—terribly to the disgust of Prim,
who thought all was settled. The Duke's refusal
was the result of his wife's influence--The husband
was devotedly attached to his spouse, and nobody
could prevail upon the latter except her confessor.
How, then, to influence the confessor was the pro-
blem. According to a correspondent of the Daily
News, an able Piedmontese statesman was
sent to tell the Pope that if the Duke ot
Aosta did not get the throne, a Protestant
prince would, that the wife of the Duke was a
devoted servant of the Catholic Church, and that i
lay in the power ot the wife to settle the matter.
The Pope fell into the trap, and lost no time in sum-
moning the important confessor. The confessor
easily persuaded the Duchess ; the Duchess as easily
led her husband. Untortunately, just when the
business seemed settled, the Menabrea Ministry fell,
and the new one displayed such invin-
cible hostility to the project that it had to be
abandoned for the time. Prince Leopold of Hohen-
zollern was tried and tailed. At length the occupa-
tion of Rome made the candidature of the Doke an
affair of national policy, and the Italian Ministry
were obliged to sanction it.

WORKING MEN AND SCHOOL BOARDS.

Dr. Holt Dunn and Mr. T. G. Brewer have,
at the request of the working class population of
Marylebone, come forward as candidates for the
representation of that division at the London School
Boards. These gentlemen consider that the School
Boards are intended for the working classes exclu-
sively, and therefore their views and ideas ought
principally to be consulted. It is essential, in the
opinion of these two candidates, that work-
ing men should sit at the Board, or the Act
will become a dead letter. The schools being
supported by the rates of all, no religious teaching
should be permitted that is not generally agreeable.
Where, however, all the children of a district belong
to one denomination, the religion of that denomina-
tion ought to he taught. The system of education
should bo such as to combine the practical with the
theoretical, and, in fine, the Board ought to be for
the real benefit of the working men, and not for the
benefit of lords, clergymen, and the upper classes.

THE IRISH AMBULANCE CORPS.

Mach gratification no doubt will be expressed by
the promoters of the Irish Ambulance Oorps when
they learn that it has at last been of service in the
field. Immediately after the late battle of Orleans
270 wounded Frenchmen, we learn, were placed
under the immediate care of the Dublin Irish
Ambulance. The corps had been thoroughly
energetic in pushing on to a situation
whore the duties of the medical staff would
be most likely to be called into requisition. The
maintenance of the doctors, attendants, and of the
whole ambulance is well-provided for by weekly
supplies of money and necessary articles sent from D üb-
lin vid Southampton. Doctors Maguire, Cremen, and
Baxter are the chief surgeons of the ambulance, the
greater portion of which is under the military super-
intendence of General Moeguart, of the Loire Army.

ROMAN PROSPECTS.

Correspondence in Rome gives but a gloomy
picture of the state of affairs in the city. The
distress is very groat, and the Papal party are ex-
tremely disheartened. They anticipate the speedy
departure of the Pope from Rome, and look upon
the Republic as a certainty. Their great apprehen-
sion, however, one which is shared by all lovers of
order, is that the reign of King Mob will supersede
Pope, King, and Republic alike. Meanwhile great
preparations are being made for the reception of
Victor Emmanuel at the Quirinal.. The royal
entry will be made as effective as possible.
He will be accompanied by Prince Humbert, the
Ministers, and the Florentine Corps Diplomatique,
the Foreign representatives at Rome having received
orders to take no part in the reception. The Ger-
man Powers have offered the Pope a refuge at Salz-
burg, Moran, or Innspruck, and the French Govern-
ment has placed a palace at Ajaccio at his orders in
case he decides on leaving Rome, as it now seems
likely he will. It has been decided that Cardinal
Antonelli will represent the Pope should a European
Congress be held after peace is concluded. The
Holy See has been pressed to support the Bonapar-
tist restoration, but is not the least inclined to do so.
The restoration of the older branch of the Bourbons,
with sueee*sien to the Count of Paris, is the plan
whioh will be most favourably received in Rome.

TO THE RATEPAYERS OF MARYLEBONE.

LAMES AND GENTLEMEN,—I have re -
solved to withdraw my candidature for one of the seven
Marylebone seats at the London School Board ; because I find
that the classes of voters whom I hoped to represent, will be
fully represented without me, at any rate in your district.
Professor Huxley, Mr. Cramer, Mr. Dixon, Miss Garrett, and
Mr. Guedella, occupy the ground and I would not put their
chances of success in jeopardy, much as I have been encouraged
to proceed by the many distinguished gentlemen who had joined
my committee, and the electors who had promised me their
votes.

With the expression of my cordial thanks to these friends and
supporters, I beg to subscribe-myself

ARRIVAL OF A NORTH GERMAN LLOYD
STEAMER.

The North German Lloyd steamer Rhein, from New
York for Bremen, with 140 passengers- and a full cargo,
arrived at Grimsby on Saturday morning all well. The
Rhein left New York on the sth instant. During the
whole passage she encountered heavy weather. She
came northabout, in order to avoid tho French fleet in
the Channel. She is brought up in the Humber,
waiting orders for Bremen. She spoke no ships on the
voyage.

ANOTHER WAY.

There is another way (still presuming that Russia
and Prussia are at one.) If the Allies opened
hostilities by an attack upon the German
armies in France, the winter, instead of being
against them, would be in their favour.
The same protection which secures Russia against an
offensive movement would prevent her making, with
any degree of rapidity, an offensive movement her-
self. Tho position of Von Moltke even now is so
difficult that the appearance of an Anglo-Austrian army
on the scene would necessitate an immediate retreat
on the part of the Germans to avoid destruction. Such
a simultaneous attack ought to command success. The
spring campaign, then, would commence with the
assistance of France, and with Germany considerably
weakened. Assuredly the chances in this case would
be better than in the former one. Indeed, the
policy of relieving a great Power, which would be
only too glad to give assistance as the price of relief,
is so obvious as to need no enforcing. The cost of
the war, therefore, is clear. The British Govern-
ment has to consider whether it is prepared to
involve the entire Continent, almost the entire civi-
lised world, in an indefinite struggle, and it has like-
wise to calculate the probability of the complicated
alliance necessary to British success being main-
tained.

OPINIONS OF THE PARIS PAPERS.

The Germans have captured many Paris papers in
balloons. Extracts from them certainly convey the im-
pression that a change has taken place in the feeling of
the population with regard to the defence. They hear
nothing of the arrival of an army to relieve
them, and demand the meeting of a legal
National Assembly to decide the question of
war or peace. The same papers which during the nego-
tiations of M. Thiers accused the Government of weakness
now reproach it bitterly fir having rejected the armistice
offered by Prussia. The Verite remarks that the Govern-
ment had laid down the conditions that we must either
conquer or negotiate, but that it was time
to give up such phraseology, which only deceived
themselves, and was likely to injure their cause.
The Patrie refers to the efforts made by the neutral
Powers, and declare that it should be fully understood
the Government of the National Defence will not again
frustrate any further efforts which may be made in the
way of negotiating peace by the nations of Europe. It is
of no use for the Government to lay down conditions in a
haughty manner when the enemy are able to please them-
selves with regard to the line they adopt. The Patrie
exhorts the Government to adopt a more moderate tone,
and not to assume in the hour of defeat those airs which
would .be unbecoming if they had gained a victory.
Speaking of the recent circular of Jules Favre, the Paris
Journal says that the politician is not so manifest in this
circular as the lawyer, and if a comparison is made
between the addresses of Count Bismarck and the
French Minister, it will be seen that clever
diplomatists do not always appear under the
forms of great patriots and good Citizens. M. Edmond
About declares in the Soir that it is impossible to carry
on a longer resistance, and that Count Bismarck has done
them a service in refusing the revictualling of Paris,
which would only have prolonged a useless contest. As
Jules Favre could not compromise himself by agreeing to
the cession of Alsace and Lorraine, he should be
succeeded by another Minister of Foreign Affairs. Louis
Blanc, in another article on the same subject, is equally
pleased at the rejection of the armistice, and is against
the proposal of calling together a Constituent Assembly.
If Paris cannot save itself it had better perish. M. Ernest
114nan, in the Journal des Debuts, states his belief that a
truce of eight days' duration would suffice for the nomi-
nation of a National Assembly, or, in case of necessity,
the election could take place during the continuance of
the war. The deputies who are elected might assemble in
some provincial town where the Paris deputies could join
them if they travelled in a balloon.

THE BLACK SEA.

Whilst the tight of Russia to claim by legitimate
means a revision of the Paris Treaty is generally
admitted, it may be as well to recall the considera-
tions which induced the victorious Powers to insist
upon the clauses respecting. the Black Sea. By
forbidding the entry of armed vessels into the Sea the
capture of Constantinople is rendered infinitely
more difficult. If Russia could get at Turkey
by sea, the Ottoman capital would be
at the mercy of the stronger power. The Ottoman
fleet is stronger now than it has ever been
before, but even now it could not compete with a
ghost of a chance against the Russian navy. If,
Russia, however, be shut out from the Black Sea,
and compelled to reach Constantinople by land, the
case becomes dilThrent. The route is 600 miles from
the Muscovite frontier, the country is difficult, and
there is the Turkish army, perhaps supported by
Austria, to be got over. Such are the considerations
which had weight in 1856. Whether they should be
deemed of such importance now is another question.

AN IRISH POLICE COURT.

The Belfast police court was occupied for some time on
Saturday with an application in reference to an alleged
libel in the Northern Stew• upon Mr. John Rea, attorney.
Mr. Andrew Joseph McKenna, the editor, had offered to
accept the responsibility of the whole question, but sum-
monses had been granted against the proprietor and
printer. The recriminations bandied about between the
several persons concerned in the case became so loud and
violent that the eourt had to be suddenly adjourned. Tue
excitement was, however, continued in the streets, and
Mr. Rea addressed a large crowd from a window.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

As Dr. Norman M`Leod was preaching last evening to
an immense congregation in the Stockport Sunday School
great alarm was occasioned by the room, which Is of very
large dimensions, and is situated on the third story of this
building, becoming suddenly filled with a dense volume of
smoke from a neighbouring chimney which was on fire.
A cry of fire was raised in the hall, and the congregation,
in a state of great excitement, were preparing to rush out,
when Dr. M`Leod and others succeeded in assuring them
that there was no danger.

Staff of this periodical is quite prepared to encounter all the
enemies of the faith. Whether on geological and other
Scientific questions or Biblical Criticism, or on the subjects
assailed by the stump and revolutionary oratory of the mere
atheistical and blaspheming demagogue, and by which many of
the humbler classes are so much misled, and that the
Colensos, Iconoclasts, and other enemies without, or
heretics. claiming a position within the Church, will be met
with direct and vigorous refutation. We are promised
a special set of strictly Scientific Articles on Geology, Natural
History and Astronomy, &c., in refutation of scientific error in
connection with Theology, and also on questions raised by Dr.
Colenso and others, which have not yet received competent
answer. At the same time all candid opponents, misled by
false teaching, but sincerely inquiring after truth, will be
treated with forbearance and respect, and willingly aided in
their search.

THE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE.

A letter was read this morning from the venerable
Thomas Jackson, declaring himself one in mind and heart
with tli, body with whom be had stood connected sixty-
six years, hearty thanks to Dr. Jobson, and the Rev.
Samuel Romilly Hill, were adopted by the Conference,
and it was reoslved to print the charges of the Conference.
The report of the Committee declaring that it was desirable
that a religious census should be taken, and that arrange-
ments should be made to shew what accommodation is pro-
vided in each place of worship, and the attendance upon
a given Sunday, was also accepted. The consideration of
the Burials Bill and the Glebe Houses (Ire-
land) Bill are to be deferred. Additional Ministers
are to be appointed to Brixton Hill and Norwood,
London, to Cranmer, Liverpool, Whitchurch, Bindley,
Keighley, and North Allerton. Several minor alterations
in the circuit were made, but none of them were of public
importance. The reports were handed in of the Com-
mittee of Discipline, and the names of the missionaries
were called over. There were 1,155. The conference
settled the minor arrangements at 12.30 for the Stationing
Committee to complete for the second draft of the
stations, which will probably be read at the asisembling of
the conference to-morrow morning.

THE THRONE OF FRANCE.

Mr. POTTER asked the Under-Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether he had any objection to lay upon
the table of the House a copy of the Treaty of Paris of
1815, and also the supplemental treaty of the same
date, excluding the Bonaparte dynasty from the
throne of France, to maintain which treaty Eng-
land and other powers were to use all their force
of arms, a'so the.protocol defining the territory ceded by
France. by the treaty aforesaid. (Hear, hear,)
Mr. OnvAv : The treaties to which my hon. friend al-
ludes are in the library of this House, and therefore they
are accessible to any member, (Hear, heap•.) I will
say that is not the reason for which I must de-
cline reprinting these treaties and laying them
upon the table of the House at the present moment.
(Hear, hear.) Since these treaties were signed this coun-
try had wisely determined not to interfere with the
choice of the French people as regards the form of their
government or their monarch. (Cheers.) Therefore for
the last eighteen years the treaties have been practically a
dead letter, and it is unnecessary to reprint them.

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.)
THE DEFENCES OF LIVERPOOL,

Mr. Forwood, at the meeting of the Mersey Dock
Board to-day, stated that the value of the shipping at
present in the port of Liverpool was four millions, and
that the only real protective force was a small gunboat
with one gun. lie thought that the two forts would be
utterly powerless against the improved war ships of the
present day, should an enemy attack the port.
