A NEW COMMAND OFFERED
TO BAZAINE.

The French papers mostly argue in favour of an
advance upon Metz by the armies now forming.
They admit that no force which is likely to be col-
lected within an available time can combat the host
round Paris ; but they urge that the new levies
might easily co-operate with Bazaine meeting the
army of Prince Frederick Charles. The Liberia
contains an important statement respecting Bazaine.
It is to the effect that the Provisional Ministry have
*offered the. Marshal the command-in-chief of the
French armies if he will recognize and sustain the
Republic, or at least consent to let the Constituent
Assembly decide for itself on the form of Govern-
ment.

A CHANCE FOR FRANCE

The Pall Mall Gazette draws attention to the fact—before
noticed in these columns—that though almost the entire
available force of Germany is now in France, not one
sixth part of the country has been occupied. Metz and
Paris engage the attention of nearly the entire German
army. At most only 60,000 men are free for operations
in the South and elsewhere, and probably these 60,000
will:be required to guard the communications. The
Pall Mall Gazette says : "It must be evident that if
there was a real national enthusiasm alive among the
French, everything might still be gained. While the
whole forces of the invader, all but 60,000 men and the
cavalry which can raid but not subdue, are laid fast in the
conquered territory, the remaining five-sixths of France
might raise armed bands enough to harass the Germans
on every point, to intercept their communications,
destroy bridges and railways, provisions and ammu-
nition in the rear, and compel them to detach
from their two great armies such numbers
of troops that Bazaine might find means to break out of
Metz, and that the investment of Paris would become
illusory. Already at the present the movement of the
armed bands are a source of great trouble, though not as
yet of danger to the Germans, and this will increase as the
country round Paris becomes exhausted in food and other
supplies, and as more distant districts have to be placed
under requisition. The new German army now forming
in Alsace will probably soon be called away from
any expedition towards the South by the necessity
of securing the German communications and of subjecting
a greater tract of country round Paris. But what would
be the fate of the Germans if the French people had
been stirred up by the same national fanaticism as were
the Spaniards in 1803—if every town and almost every
village was turned into a fortress, every peasant and
citizen into a combatant? Even the 200,000 men of the
Fourth Battalion would not suffice to hold down such a
people."
London, England, 1870-10-12

ATTENTIVE RELATIVES.

There can be little doubt that it would be a great charity
to establish an institution to serve as a refuge for elderly
people in weak health who have a small competence of
their own, and are accordingly subjected to every kind of
torture which the ingenuity of attentive relations
can inflict upon them. Relations, as a rule, never
trouble themselves about the existence of any member
of their family if he is an utterly penniless pauper, because
the sight of his distress is too painful for them to see;
but their hearts are really so warm by nature that a very
slight spark will suffice to kindle the flame of affection
within their bosoms. It is not only the sickly millionaire
but even the poor old worn-out Chelsea pensioner, who is
followed to the grave by an officious crowd of loving
relatives. Major-General Hutt, in his evidence before
the Committee on Chelsea and Kilmainham Hospitals,
which appears in their report just issued, speaking
of the pensioners in Chelsea Hospital whom it would be
impossible to remove, says there are now eighty-seven in
the infirmary, some of them perfectly paralysed
and otherwise disabled. General Hutt says :
—" When men of this class have got pen-
sions they are preyed upon by their relatives. Many
a man comes into the hospital to seek refuge from his re-
lations. A man came to me, and begged to be taken
into the hospital. I said to him, You have got
a good pension.' He said, 'Pray ake me in, and do
not let anything which you hear prevent me
from being taken in.' I said, It rests entirely
with you.' A day or two afterwards I got half-a-dozen
letters about this man, from people calling themselves his
relatives, and they said that they were bro-
ken-hearted at this poor old man coming to
the . hospital, and that it was the freak of the
moment, that he had had a quarrel. I sent to him
and he said; For God's sake, sir, take me in,' and he was
accordingly taken in. It is only a few weeks ago that
a poor old man of eighty years of age dragged his limbs
from Hampshire and begged to be taken in. His ante-
cedents were very g.ood. I said to him, Certainly you
shall come in. We cannot take you in at this
moment, because there are some days to run before
your out-pension expires.' I gave him a few shillings,
and sent him to the workhouse until he should
come in ; but two or three days afterwards
some of his relatives came and dragged him back again,
and he never came in." It is wonderful that, when so
much tenderness can be purchased for a few sixpences, so
little of it is given away gratuitously.—. Pall Mall
Gazette.

Mrs. Cope, of Castledermot, who was nearly mur-
dered the other day by her rejected suitor, is recovering,
although her wounds were of a frightful description.

THE SIEGE OP PARIS.

The Manchester Courier observes that the German
army is on the eve of doing a thing which will imperil
the reputation in future ages of the entire Teu-
tonic civilization. Victorious in the most hardly-contested
and dearly won battles which history records, themselves
in the possession of territory of their enemies, the invaders
of those who would have been invaders, they are deter-
mined not to quit Frame without doing all in their power
to mutilate Paris. Those who sympathised most warmly
with the Prussian cause at the commencement of the
war cannot but protest against the ruthless extremity of
their present course.

FOUNDERING OF A BARQUE.

The barque "Nelson," of South Shields, 549 tons,
registered, Captain Laurence Henderson, bound from
Aguilas, Spain, to the Tyne, with a cargo of lead
and grass, struck at two o'clock on Friday afternoon last,
on the Seven Stones, near Scilly, and foundered almost
immediately. Five of the crew got into the
jolly boat before the vessel sank, and they after-
wards picked up five of their companions, including
the mate, who were in the water. The captain, his
nephew Laurence Matthews, and an able seaman named
William Moon, were drowned. The men in the jolly
boat, after rowing about for some hours, sighted the Seven
Stones lightship; they pulled to her, were taken on board,
and treated with great kindness, having lost everything.
The lightship signalled to Scilly, and a pilot went and
took the survivors on board, and landed them at Penzance
about six o'clock yesterday morning. The ship is said to
be insured.

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, Red Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the
Union Bank of London (Carey-street Branch), W.C.

CONGREGATIONAL UNION SESSION.

The aggregate meeting commenced yesterday at Sher-
well chapel, Plymouth. A large concourse of persons was
present including several h'mdred ministers and delegates.
The introductory address was delivered by the Rev. J.
C. Harrison, of London, the president. He urged that in
this highly cultivated age, with an increasing hesitation
to communicate religious feeling even to friends, it was
desirable that some modification in the present mode
of admission to Church fellowship should take place.
It was necessary that the Church should have some well-
defined basis of belief. Christianity in principle was not
liberty to think what one pleased, any more than
Christianity in practice was liberty to do what ono liked.
No man should wish in thought to be freer than truth or
in action to be freer than right. He feared that in pri-
vate study. was now neglected, and in preaching sensation
was preferred to edification. He appealed to young men of
ability to give themselves personally to the work of the
Ministry, and urged the importance of maintaining strict
Church discipline. Turning to the subject of the war, he
expressed the conviction, which was loudly applauded,
that the Prussian successes resulted from the general
soundess of the national character. A Christian brother
in Paris had addressed a remonstrance to the Congrega-
tional Church,[for want of sympathy. They replied—
" Brother, we lament your suffering, but still deplore
that France prefers guided lies to wholesome truth."
Delegates from Scotland and Belgium having been for-
mally welcomed, the Rev. H. Simon, of London, read a
paper on " Religion in Individual Social Business," and
the Rev. Mr. Hutcheson gave an address on " Religious
Life ;" after which a pr'tracted discussion ensued, and it
was resolved to have the address printed.

MR. EDMOND BEALES AS A COUNTY COURT

JUDGE.

Mr. Edmond Beales took his seat as a Judge of the
Cambridgeshire County Court at Ely yesterday, and
great interest was manifested in the proceedings, as it was
expected he would have to try a charge of assault pre-
ferred against a resident M.P. The case was, however,
not heard, the action being settled by the payment of the
amount of damages sued for. Mr. William Marshall, as
the senior advocate, expressed the condolence of the
professional men engaged in the Court with the family of
the late judge, Mr. Collyer, and congratulated Mr. Beales
on his appointment to the judicial chair. His Honour
suitably responded.

THE POST CARDS.

Against the introduction of the post card there was
only one objection urged, and that was one which
received little or no consideration from the public.
By many it was objected that as the writing was
visible, persons of a vindictive disposition or those
who find delight in practical joking would not fail to
avail themselves of the scope which the card afforded
for carrying out their evil purposes. On the other
hand it was urged that the postal authorities
would exercise such a discrimination and authority as
would effectually prevent the transmission of any card
containing questionable or offensive matter. The
abuse, which was anticipated, has actually occurred.
The Lord Mayor of London has publicly
mentioned that several families had received
cards containing most obscene and offensive language.
The Act of Parliament, he said, under which the
cards were issued clearly provided a remedy for this
abuse, for the 20th section enacted that the Post-
master-General might from time to time, with the ap-
proval of the Treasury, make such regulations as he
thought fit for preventing the sending or de-
livery by post of indecent or obscene
communications. Under such circumstances
it was very desirable that the authorities
should stop the delivery of cards or take measures to
trace the authors with a view to heavy punishment•
The card in other respects is an acknowledged boon,
and the public should be ready, as it doubtless is, to
condemn any practice which may tend to diminish
the postal advantages it now possesses.

PROSPER MERIMEE.

A distinguished French academician has just died
at Cannes. Prosper Merim6e was held iu high repute
for his varied attainments. He was a biographer, an
essayist, and a writer of romances. He also contri-
buted articles to the .Revue des Deux Mondes and
other periodicals. At any other time his death
would have been looked upon as an event, and the
newspapers and reviews would have been filled with
sketches setting forth his merits and mourning the
loss his country had sustained. The war is, however,
so engrossing that no time can be spared and
no space allowed to render a tribute to a
man who excelled in those qualities which French-
men delight to honour. M. Merim6e was a writer
whose works were well-known and appreciated in
England. His favourite book " Colombe " has re-
peatedly been translated into English. Among his
historical sketches, his " Episode of the History of
Russia" and his " Studies of Roman History " have
been most popular with English readers. Prosper
Morinade possessed great literary skill, and did not
follow the example of many of his countrymen
by squandering his powers in a profusion of works.
Most of his books appeared at long intervals and were
compressed in limited compass. He took the greatest
pains with all he wrote, but there was no appearance
of effort in his performances, so that his style was
distinguished for its freedom and elegance. He was

a favourite in the intellectual circles of Paris where
his powers of conversation and brillant talents
rendered him a most desirable companion. Merimde
has been temporarily interred at Cannes Cemetery,
and his funeral was attended by all the notabilities of
the place.

DR. CUMMING ON 64 TIIE WAR."

Dr, Cumming delivered a lecture in Gartsherrie Church
on the subject of "Prophecy and the Continental War."
In a few remarks regarding the book of Revelation, he
referred to the blessing promised to those who should read
and understand that book. The rev. Dr. wished his
hearers distinctly to understand that he did not
predict ; but merely unravelled the prophecies of
Sacred Writ. He held that the Apocalyptic writings
gave a history of the world from the date of their produc-
tion till the end of the present dispensation, and it is but
reasonable that we should expect to find some part of
them being fulfilled in our own time. The rev, gentleman,
after pointing out various cotemporary fulfillments of pro-
phecy, went on to shew that the Beast, or, more correctly
the " Wild Beast " of the Apocalypse, repre:ented the
great Papal apostacy. Referring to the result of the ple-
biscite in Italy, he said that though seemingly the POPe
had received a check there, he was receiving many new
followers in this country. After showing the inter-
pretation of the plagues that came from the mouth
of the Beast, he gave his elucidation of the prophecy of
the pouring out of the seventh vial on the earth. He
said that the prophecy pointed to a great battle or series
of battles • and on the breaking out of the celebrated
Crimean War, he Said he fixed in his own mind that this
was the commencement of the great Armageddon.
No one can well see the end of this present
struggle —it is the latest, but not the last, of
the great series. Another point in the prophecy is the
occurrence of earthquakes ' • and the rev. gentleman
remarked that the year 1868 has been called by learned
men the year of earthquakes. Earthquakes or convulsions
in the moral world, also included in the meaning cf the
prophecy, are a characteristic also of the present time,
when nearly every nation on the globe seems to be in a
state of incipient revolution. Some twenty years ago, the
Doctor said, he held that the end of the prophetic period
would be in 1868, and he pointed out at that time many
changes which might be expected to take place.
These had been in part fulfilled ; but there were
other judgments still to fall upon the Beast. One of these
had come by the declaration of war ; the withdrawal of
the French troops from Rome • and the handing over of
the Pope to the care.of Victor 'Emanuel, an excommuni-
cated king. Dr. Cumming thereafter traced the events of
the present campaign from the declaration of war on the
very day that the Pope pronounced himself infallible
through the series of battles that have taken place, each
one a Prussian victory, ending in the overthrow of a
great Roman Catholic nation by a Protestant Power, and
the permanent crippling of the Papacy. The lecturer
concluded by drawing attention to the words of the
prophecy, that in "the latter days there should be
changes in the sun and the moon and the stars ;" and, in
support of this, pointing to the present time, he quoted
the opinions of eminent scientific men regarding present
changes in the structure of the heavenly bodies.

THE OLD NEWSPAPER STAMP.

The old newspaper stamp, which was abolished on
the 30th of September, had been in existence for 158
years. It was instituted in the reign of Queen Anne,
and was intended to check the issue of seditious
papers and stop the abuse of the liberty of the press.
The Act which passed in 1712 continued in force for
thirty-two years. In 1724 the House of Commons
made some alterations in it, and in 1761 the stamp
duty on newspapers was made one penny. The next
change in the stamp duty was effected on the 28th
of May, 1776, when 1,,0rd North advanced the price
from id. to lid. Another alteration was made on
the 12th of August, 1789. On this occasion the
stamp was increased from 11d. to 2d. In 1794 the
stamp went up to 21d., and in May,1797, to 31d. the
highest rate of the stamp was in 1815, when the
amount was 4d., and after this date a decline ensued,
An Act was passed in the reign of William the
Fourth for the reduction of stamp duty on nevf,s-
papers to one penny. This came into operation in
1836, and from this the era of cheap newspapers
may be dated. In 1855 the compulsory use of the
stamp was abolished, except as a means of sending
the paper through the post. During last session it
was determined that the old Act should be abolished
and that a new order of things should be established
more in accordance with the spirit of the ago.

MR. DISRAELI ON THE COTSWOLDS.

The Right Honourable Benjamin Disraeli arrived on a
visit to Earl Bathurst at Oakley Park,Cirencester, on Mon-
day evening. Being market and fair day the town was
crowded. The Cirencester Chamber of Agriculture ad-
jdurned its business and proceeded to the railway
station, attended by large numbers of persons,
to give the right honourable gentleman a hearty
greeting. Mr. Disraeli was accompanied by Vis-
countess Beaconsfield. The reception was as enthusi-
astic as it was unexpected, and the distinguished visitors
were evidently gratified. They will stay at Oakley Park,
where Lord Bathurst is entertaining a select circle of
guests, for the remainder of the week.

FRENCH APATHY.

Die Manchester Examiner, commenting on M. Gam-
betta's proclamation, speaks despondently of the success-
ful defence of Paris, and says the people are certainly not
indifferent as to the misfortunes of their country, but if
not apathetic, they are at all events inactive. The mag-
nitude of the blow seems to have struck them with para-
lysis. There is no warlike enthusiasm, no concert between
the departments, no disposition to organise on a large
scale, with the view to serious achievements. There is in
some sense arming everywhere, but the movement is
spasmodic, every town acting for itself, and the inhabi-
tants shewing no great eagerness to venture beyond
municipal limits. What may be accomplished eventually
outside Paris is yet to be ascertained. What is certain
is that there are as yet no indications of such large
and combined movements, nor of the enthusiasm capable
of originating and sustaining them which alone can suc-
ceed in rescuing Paris from the grip of its besiegers.

A memorial has been addressed to the Council of
the Senate at Cambridge, calling attention to the ex-
tremely small stipend at present attached to the Profes-
sorship of Arabic, which is now vacant.

TIIE PROSECUTION OF MR. BENNETT, THE VICAR
OF FRoME.—On Monday last Mr. Bennett, the Vicar of
Frome, was served with an inhibition to appear before the
Judicial Committee in the case of Shephard v. Bennett.
On an appeal from the Arches Court Mr. Bennett was
acquitted of the alleged charges of heresy in his writings,
and the Church Association has appealed through the
promoter to the Judicial Committee to obtain a reversal
of the judgmrnt of Sir E. Phillimore.

THE STATE OF PARIS.--Letters which have been
received from Paris, dated so recently as the 6th instant,
supply full information as to the state of the capital
on that day. The accounts given arc satisfactory.
The city was quiet, the people were calm and reso-
lute, and all the troops appeared to be animated by the
best spirit. It is asserted that there was no anxiety as to
the supply of provisions, and that the confidence of the
Parisians in their power to resist an assault is as yet
undiminished.
London, England, 1870-10-12

THE FOOD QUESTION.

A letter from a resident in Paris expresses the belief
that starvation will not compel the surrender of the city
until a considerable time has elapsed. " Besides the
cattle which have been accumulated, we have 40,000
horses ; and although a cab horse may not taste as good
as Southdown mutton, I have no doubt that Parisian cook •
ing will make it a very palatable dish for hungry men ;
there are, too, a great many dogs, and the rats
have not yet left the sinking ship. As for coffee and
sugar, we have enough to last for six months; and, unless
the statistics of the Government are utterly worthless,
come what may we shall not lack bread for many a day."

The Times correspondent at Tours writes I am
assured that the stock of sheep in Paris when the Prus-
sians came round it was 200,000, which, at the rate of 4,000
a day, would give a supply of mutton for 50 days. Besides
this there are said to have been 70,000 or 80,000 cattle, of
which a certain number were also to be daily killed. A
vast deal of food for these animals had been collected in
Paris from the surrounding country, but, as it would be
necessary to economize much of this for the horses of the
artillery, cavalry, and other indispensable services, salting
is said to have been had recourse to on a large scale.
Fresh vegetables, according to the last accounts, were
hardly any more to be found. It is presumable there are good
stores of lemon juice and preserved vegetables. I have
been told this morning that in Normandy and Western
France generally the stock of provisions has been tran-
sported in immense quantities to the sea coast for the
purpose of shipment to England. You will have observed
that the Prussians have thought it necessary to begin to
pay for the things they take, in order to check the general
clearance of the districts into which they advance. A
main idea of the Government of National Defence is,
there can be little doubt, to confine the Prussians to a
certain zone, off which they will soon have eaten every-
thing, and whence they will have to fight their way to
districts less exhausted. If the siege of Paris lasts, one
of the greatest difficulties of the besiegers is likely to be
that of supply."

GUILDHALL.

Yesterday a young man, named George Lynd, a
grainer by trade, was charged before Alderman Gibbs
with having assaulted his wife and brutally ill-treated her.
Jane Lynd, the wife, said that the'previous night she
went by the cons',nt of her husband to a raffle for a tea-
caddy, which was to be held at the B mvl and • Pin
public-house, in Bath-street, Bartholomew-square, and
that after it was over she was proceeding homewards,
when her husband came up and struck her a violent
blow over the eye, and afterwards kicked her. She was
so knocked about by him, that the police conveyed her
to the hospital.
Alderinan GIBBS asked the prisoner what he had to
say to the Charge. He replied that he had been married
for about ten years to the complainant, but, unfortu-
nately, she was much given to drink. He certainly gave
her leave to go to the raffle, and about half-past twelve
o'clock, finding she did nut comehorne, he went to the pub-
lic-house in question, and watchE d until a quarter to three
o'clock in the morning. She was quite tipsy, and laugh-
ing and talking with several men, which so ag;ravated
him that he certainly did strike her.
The wife said she only wished that her husband
should be bound to keep the peace.
Alderman GIBBS accordingly bound him over in the
sum of 201. to keep the peace, and also to answer any
charge that might be preferred against him at the ses-
sions.

DALMATIA FRONTIER.

JULY 6.—The Turks continue their warlike pre-
parations against Montenegri, and act as if they
were sure of success. The conscriptions and provi-
sioning are carried on with great activity. The gene-
ral army of the Turks has been commanded partly to
quell any attempt at a rise by the Christians of the
interior, and partly to meet any aggression from
without. They apprehend a simultaneous attack by
the Montenegros in Herzegovina; and the Servians
in Bosnia likewise expect that the Turks of Albania
will at the same time ranter Montenegri.

According to some statements the Turkish army
will consist of 60,000 men, while others affirm that
it will amount to 100,000 men. All 'the Pashas
and the various leaders have received the most
stringent commands to be perpetually on their
guard.

The trade of Bosnia is quite at a stand still.
In consequence of all this excitement and con-
fusion, many of the merchants do not even open their
stures, and keep quite in the back ground.
In Turkish Albania matters are quiet; and it is
true that on the 13th of Twit month there vva.
collision between the inhabitants of the district of
Antivari and the Montenegros, but it was only one
of the ordinary conflicts between the contending
parties.—Wiener Zeitung, July 13.

FERRARI thought proper to retreat to Chioggia, to

DUBLIN, JULY 17.—The club organization is daily
assuming a more alarming aspect—more secret in the
mode of proceeding, but more concentrated and syste-
matised, whilst branch clubs are extending far and wide
into the rural districts. The recent proceedings in
Waterford and Limerick, in connexion with the prose-
cution against Mr. T. F. Meagher, have shown how dif-
ficult it is for the leaders to restrain the clubbists from
a " premature outbreak." This may be considered
madness, and it is nothing short of insanity; but the
evil is not the less dangerous; and if some decided steps
be not taken for the suppression of the clubs, the most
deplorable consequences may be apprehended.
The Government, it is well known, has been watching
with great vigilance the progress of the club system.
Letters from various parts of the south state that
earnest representations have been made to the authori-
ties regarding the dangerous prospects of those con-
federacies, and the apprehensions prevailing in conse-
quence.

There are reports of fresh prosecutions to-day. It
is alleged that Mr. Meagher is to be prosecuted under
the Treason Felony Act for the speech delivered by
him to the populace of Limerick on last Friday evening.
however, no reliance whatever can be placed on such
reports.

Mr. Smith O'Brien has gone down to Drogheda, to
attend a Repeal demonstration to-day.
The following communication, which appears in the
Evening Mail, affords a remarkable illustration of the
desperate character of the movement in Tipperary:—
" CASHEL, JULY 16.—Mr. Michael Doheny is just
returned in triumph from the North Riding, and is
now setting out, dressed in a most showy military
costume, green and gold, mounted on a chesnut
charger, at the head of his club (quere regiment ?),
to the great rendezvous of the clubs, on the moun-
tain of Slievenamon, where it is expected some
thousands of the army of the League will assemble
this day. Mr. Meagher, of Waterford, is gone with
Doheny. The opinion of most people here is that mat-
ters are hastening to a crisis. The League know right
well, non progredi est regredi, and are therefore doing
what they can to excite the multitudes to action. In
good truth, Government must either put dowa the clubs,
or the clubs will put down the Government, and that
very speedily too."
