PASSPORTS IN FRANCE.

We have been requested to publish the following :- -
" Earl Granville has received a despatch from her Ma-
jesty's Consul at Calais, stating that all travellers enter-
ing France are required to have a French visa attached
to their passports.

FRENCH CRUISERS IN THE CHANNEL.
A large French war steamer, ironclad, ran bark-
rigged, passed the Downs on Saturday, shaping her course
easterly.

It is believed that the post of Assistant-Adjutant
General at Aldershot, which will be shortly vacated by
Colonel Newdigate, on ;the expiration of his term of
office, will be bestowed upon Colonel Sir Archibald Alison.
This appointment will undoubtedly give universal satis•
faction.

DESTRUCTIVE FLUE AT CROYDON.—Another
serious fire—the second within a week—broke out at
Croydon on Saturday night, between nine and ten o'clock,
at the extensive flour mills of Messrs. Collis, situated in
Cherry Orchard-lane, and close to the East Croydon
Railway-station. The building was entirely destroyed,
the roof falling in between ten and eleven o'clock. When
it was found impossible to save the mill, the efforts of
the fire brigades were directed towards saving the out-
buildings and the adjoining properties. The Croydon
Volunteer Fire Brigade, under Captain John Allsop,
rendered most important aid ; and to their immediate
appearance on the scene must be ascribed the early check
to the progress of the fire and the protection of a vast
quantity of valuable property. Great alarm was ex-
pressed by the travellers in the trains, who had to pass
within a few feet of the burning premises. Messrs. Collis
are, it is said, inadequately insured.
YACHT RACE AT NEW YORK FOR THE QUEEN'S
CUP.—The race for the Queen's Cup, won by the America
at Cowes, in 1851, takes place to-day over the inland
course. At pretient light winds prevail, and if they con-
tinue, the Cambria stands no chance, her forte being
heavy winds. No less than 23 schooners are entered, in-
cluding the Cambria, America (fitted out expressly by
the American Government), Sappho, Dauntless, Hen-
rietta, and other clippers, and, as it is a time race, some
fine sport is anticipated. Great public interest is taken
in the race, and Admiral Porter, of the United States
navy, accompanies in a Government steamer. One of
the principal reasons of Mr. Ashbury's taking the Cam-
bria to America was to contend for the Queen's Cup, won
by the America in 1851. Since that time the America
has fallen into the hands of the American Government,
and they have fitted her out expressly for this race.

MILITARY OPINION.

The Army and Nary Gazette holds that neither of the
two actions yet fought afford any indication of the
strategy that will be adopted, for the Saarbruck affair
was contemptible, and the action at Weissenburg was but
a partial one, for the Prussians were opposed by only one
French division—itis impossible, therefore, to say whether

this Weissenburg movement was a reconnaisance or a
feint. But one thing seems clear, the Prussians
are prepared, at the very least, to defend the
frontier, and have no present intention of fall-
ing back on the Rhine ; and politically, and as
regards moral effect, there can be no question of the
superiority of such a plan over a more backward one.
It is als? quite clear that the difficulty of feeding the
troops, far from being overcome, is only just beginning.
Already we may he sure that many a soldier on either
side does not get his stomach filled regularly. With any
reverses plundering will commence, and if the war is
prolonged for three months, the sufferings from
want of food and shelter and sufficient medical
treatment will be enormous. These immense armies
create their own embarrassment. We are indisposed,
then, to believe that the delay in the French advance is
due to want of preparation, for the deficiency of supplies.
is likely to increase rather than diminish, but the difficulties
of an advance on either side ace very great, certainly
enough to make a naturally undecided man still more
so. At any rate, it is plain that on the narrow front
where the two armies have met there is little room
for outwitting the adversary by manoeuvring ; victory
must be earned by hard fighting. And while on this
subject we may observe that so fai there is not the
smallest evidence that the Prussians have any extra-
ordinary opponent in the mitrailleuses. The story.

WHAT WILL PARIS DO

Paris, says the limes, ever effervescent, has become
tumultuous. Exasperated against everything and every-
body that can be blamed for contributing to the disas-
ters of France, it is wild with excitement that has to
to be restrained. At the same time the fortified bar-
racks commanding the straight thoroughfares of the
Third Empire are comparatively empty of troops. And
if this is the state at Paris, what is the condition
of the army in front of the enemy ? They have learnt
that the mitrailleuse they fondly cherished may be taken
from them ; nay, they have discovered that the enemy
possesses the arm they thought exclusively their own, and
can use it with deadly effect. On the other hand, the
forces of the enemy, firm in the consciousness of
victory, are converging towards the heart of Lorraine.
It is under such conditions that the Emperor must make
his stand and trust his fortunes. " Tout peut se retablir,"
but what if the chance of the battle should not re-esta-
blish his strength ? It is impossible not to remember the
historical parallels of the
.situation, and if the mind re-
calls the repulse of Brunswick by the volunteers of
the Republic, it recalls also the Cour des Adieux at Fon-
tainebleau.

How, asks the Telegraph, could the capital receive this
crushing news ? How could the excitable boulevards
bear this capture of guns, mitrailleuses, and eagles, with
the loss of legions which no Varus can give back ?
What will now be done by that Garde Mobile,
which flung stones at its officers the other day
at Chalons ? Judging from the anger and disap-
pointment with which the tidings of Weissenbmg
were received, Paris will for a long time be like a sea
of turmoil almost more dangerous to_ Napoleon
than the iron line pressing him back into French territory.
On Saturday—when the question was one of false intelli-
gence and comparatively trivial losses —M. 011ivier
managed to calm the mob with " Vive la Patric ! " But
what cry could charm the furious passion of the French
capital when it learnt the terrible approach of the German
standards? Confronted by an infuriated nation,
which he awakened from industry and prosperity
to make it fight for its very life, and burdened with a
capital in his rear, whicn can only be kept quiet by a
series of victories, the Emperor's position is such as
might almost wring pity from his enemies. It is a moment
of superlative peril to his dynasty, and a period of cor-
responding enthusiasm to the Fatherland, which has re-
solved to 'make the Rhine now and henceforward safe for

ever.

The Standard thinks that in such a moment it is hardly
probable that the party most opposed to the Empire will
attempt to profit by the errors or misfortunes of the Em-
peror. To use the defeats and humiliations of France as
political capital, to make German invaders political
allies, has never answered in France, for those parties, at
least, whose strength must lie in popular support.

LAW AND POLICE.

ALLEGED EXTENSIVE FRAUD.—Edward Jones, 30, de-
scribed as a publican, and Francis Thompson, 24, described
as a jeweller, were brought up on remand, at the Mansion
House, before the Lord Mayor, on the charge of obtaining
goods, of the value of £3,000, by false pretences. The
principal circumstances of the case have been already
reported, and it will be remembered that the prisoners
had pretended to carry on business in various
towns, under assumed names. Corroborative
evidence was now given, and, among the
witnesses called, was a young lady from Plymouth,
to whom the prisoner Thompson had been paying some
attention. She stated that she knew him for a fortnight,
and that during that time he made her a present of a gold
watch and chain and a pair of earrings.. Other evidence
baying been taken, the prisoners were fully committed to
take their trial at the Central Criminal Court.

•
CAUTION TO MANGLING WOXIIN. —Celia Clark, a gir
agad 14 years, was brought up on remand before Mr.
Lushington at the Thames Police Court charged with ob-
taining a large bundle of linen from a woman who keeps
a mangle in Bow. The property belonged to a clerk
named Hill. The prisoner and another girl went to the
mangling woman, and said we have come for Hill's mang-
ling. -The linen, which had gone through the mangle and
nicely pressed and smoothed, was delivered to the prisoner
without hesitation, and consisted of 3 sheets, 10 handker-
chiefs, and two dozen other pieces of linen. The prisoner
paid 6d. to the mangling woman. Mrs. Hill, of No. 62,
Lichfield-road, Stepney, said the prisoner and another
girl were reconnoitering before her dwelling for some time
a few days ago, and were then no doubt concocting a plot
to obtain the linen. A police constable said that part of
Mrs. Hill's linen had been pawned at Fryatt's, in the
Whitechapel-road. Mr. Lnshington said he should again
remand the prisoner to give the police an opportunity of
arresting the accomplice of the prisoner, and for the at-
tendance of the pawnbroker who had received the stolen
property in pawn.

ALLEGED MURDER IN SUFFOLK.—M the Suffolk
assizes on Friday and Saturday, before Mr. Baron Chan-
nell, Jacob Ling was indicted for the murder of Anna
Maria Chenery, at Barsham, near Beccles. The deceased
woman, who was pregnant at the time of her death, and
who had had an illegitimate child by the prisoner (who
had fallen in arrears as regards its support), was in the
company of the prisoner on the night of the Gth of June,
having proceeded with him up a lonely lane near Beccles.
She was found dead early next morning from loss of blood,
and with wounds in her private parts. On Saturday
evidence was offered for the defence to show that the
deceased died from the rupture of a varicose vein in the
body, that in a person in her condition such a vein
would be in a gorged state, and that its rupture might be
occasioned by a very slight pressure. The jury acquitted
,the prisoner. .

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT HASTINGS.

There has been a fatal and horrible accident at the
drainage works, at the East Well, Hastings, by which
three men lost their lives. It appears that about
ten minutes to ten on Friday evening shouts
for help were heard proceeding from the tank. Mr.
Porter, the chemist, and a man named Harris (Curley),
employed on the works, immediately volunteered to
descend to the help of the unfortunate men below
two men named Nash and Paul Fry (alias
Bristol). On the descent Harris saw Porter fall back,
and he himself, feeling exhausted, came up at once to
the fresh air. Several persons began to assemble
round the dreadful scene, and Mr. Wigner, the,
manager- of the works, and a coastguard, and a fisher-
man, and Harris having somewhat recovered, accom-
panied them. They went down twice, and on each
occasion had to come up exhausted. Several of the bye-
standers then volunteered help, and after some search,
they found the bodies of Fry (Bristol) and Nash, which
they brought up. Mr. Ashenden and Mr. Savery tried
all means of resuscitation, but the medical gentlemen
pronounced life to be extinict, and the bodies were
removed to the Pier Warden's stores. Active search was
made for Mr. Porter, but in vain, and it iirb6lieved that
the body has been washed out to sea. Further statements
are to the effect that the works had not 'been in •operation
the previous day, and that the tank was full of foul air,
and that two of the unfortunate men, Nash and Fry,
were warned not to attempt the descent. •

OUR NAVY,

It is to be regretted that Congress did not, before
adjournment, adopt some measures calculated to increase
the efficiency of the navy. The war between France and
Prussia renders it important that our European,
South Atlantic, and other squadrons should be
strengthened, but the number of sailors allowed by law is
so small that no new ship can be placed in commission
until some other goes out. The Guerriere, now lying at
the Brooklyn yard, was ready to go to sea two or three
months ago, but still cannot leave for want of a crew.
For the same reason the Practice Squadron, which
sails from Annapolis this yeai with the naval cadets, will
go with one or two ships less than usual. It is in conse-
quence of this actual need of sailors that the exaggerated
report found currency that Vice-Admiral Porter had
asked for 18,000 men. He probably said he wanted 1,800
men, and a suitable appropriation for equipment, con-
struction, &c., as he would thereby be enabled to send to
sea six vessels of the Guerriere class, which would be
enough to supply our present requirements. But the en•
listment of these men, and the expenditure necessary to
fit out the required ships can only be authorised by Con-
gress. We have good ships and experienced officers.
Under ordinary circumstances, there should be little diffi-
culty in increasing our present naval force from 8,000, its
present number, to 11,000 men. There yet remain many
vessels in our navy of which we may well be proud, and
which are fitted to make our flag honoUred wherever they
may carry it. When we built the Merrimac, the Colorado,
the Minnesota, the Wabash, and other frigates of that
class, they excited the admiration of the world, and Eng-
land, ever prompt to recognise improvements in naval
architecture, endeavoured to copy their models.
They contained all the improvements of their day,
and as to battery power and stowing of the
crew and supplies, they have never been ex-
celled, while they attained excellent speed by the use of
sails and a screw propeller, which could be traced up when
found unnecessary. Vessels like the Madawaska
require, it is true, many changes in their rigging and•
internal arrangement, but with proper alterations they
can be used to advantage. It is generally conceded that our
navy is at present not in as efficient a state as that of a
a first-rate power, such as the United States should be ;
but if the necessary supplies can be authorised, and the
enlistment of the required number of men be ordered, it
will not be long before we shall have afloat and in com-
mission a sufficient number of vessels to support the dig-
nity of the United States in every quarter of the globe.—

ACCIDENT AT PRESTON.

On Saturday, the new covered market at Preston, which
is near completi3n, fell with a great crash. Five men
working on the roof slid down, one of them Thomas Bate-
son, was severely crushed and shaken, and taken up
insensible. The building, a large open shed, was con.
structed of iron. '

A " villainous looking fellow," named Thomas, a
labourer, who has for some time been assaulting women
of all ages and conditions, on the mountains of Mon-
mouthshire, was sentenced to fifteen years' penal ser-
vitude by Baron Pigott, at the Monmouth assizes on Sdt-
urday. Three charges of rape were proved against him.

THE WAR.

GREAT PRUSSIAN VICTORY.

BATTLES AT WOERTH & SAARRRUCK.

RETREAT OF THE FRENCH ARMY.

The following telegram from Count Bismarck was re-
ceived yesterday by the North German Ambassador
" MAYENCE, AUG. 7 (7.45 A.M).

"On the 6th a brilliant victory was won at Haguenau
by the Third Geiman Army, under the command of the
Crown Prince, over the united corps of MacMahon,
Pally, and Canrobert. Up to now 4,000 prisoners have
been brought in. Over 100 officers, 30 and odd canon, six
mitrailleuses, and two eagles have been taken.
MAYENCE, AUG 6, 1870, (11.45 P.m.)

"In their pursuit of the retreating French army the
heads of the Prussian columns overtook them on the sth.
Early on the morning of the 6th General von Kamers
attacked the enemy west of Saarbruck in a strong position
on the hills near Speicheren. At the sound of cannon
detachments of the Barnekow and Stulpnagel divisiDns
advanced in support. General von Goben undertook the
Command, and after a fiercely contested battle the enemy
were driven to flight after the position occupied by the
French Corps Froissard had been carried by storm.
General von Traunwitz and Colonel Reuter were
mounded.

• Later in the day the following despatches were also
received at the Prussian Embassy :
"King William, Queen Augusta.
" Wonderful luck ! This new great victory won 'by
Fritz. Thank God for his mercy ! We have taken thirty
cannons, two eagles, six mitrailleuses, four thousand
Prisoners. MacMahon received reinforcements from the

the battle of Saarbruck. Several hundred prisoners were
taken belonging to the Corps Froissard. The prisoners
describe their strength as consisting of four division. The
battle only ended when it became completely dark. The

The following is from the Crown Prince :
" BATTLE-FIELD, NEAR WOERTH,
AUGUST 6, 4.30 P.m.

" Victorious battle near Woerth. I have completely
defeated Marshal MacMahon with the greater part of my
armY. The French are driven baok to Bitche."

The following telegram Mayence, Saturday, 4.30 a.m.
is also f rom,the Crown Prince :—" In the victorious
battle over MacMahon, whose corps had been reinforced
bY:divisions of General de Failly's and Marshal Canrobert's
corps, two eagles, six mitrailleuses, and about thirty can-
nons were captured. The number of prisoners made by
118 is on a first calculation upwards of 4,000. General
Bose is wounded. General Kirbach commanded a corps.
heavy losses were sustained on both sides."

A telegram received subsequently from Soulz states
that yesterday the Crown Prince was at that place.
Upwards of 4,000 prisoners, taken at Woerth, were
brought in. Marshal MaeMahon is said to be wounded.
Yesterday salvos of artillery were fired at Berlin in
honour of the Prussian arms.

FRENCH PRISONERS.

The following memorandum has been issued by the
the police in Berlin :—" A number of French prisoners
will arrive here this evening, and will be at once sent fur-
ther on by rail. Although we hope and expect that the
Parisians will not be afforded a similar spectacle during
the war, we Berliners wish to take this opportunity of
showing our calm and dignified behaviour that we know
how an enemy's prisoners should be treated."

THE WAR.

Orders have been given to place the forts at and around
Plymouth in an efficient state of defence. A large number
of cannon, including some 300-pounders that have been
tested at Shoeburyness, are to be placed on all fortifica-
tions sufficiently advanced to receive them, and to replace
the smooth-bores on the old forts. - The Lords of the Ad-
miralty have given notice that they will decline to sanc-
tion any discharges by purchase in the Royal Marines
until further notice.

DISTURBANCES AT GENOA.

The Florence Official Gazette of Friday publishes intelli-
gence relative to some disturbances which occurred at
Genoa on Wednesday, in consequence of the trial of some
persons for conspiracy. Four barricades were erected by
the rioters, but were carried by the troops, when one
rioter was killed and two wounded. Eleven arrests were
made. One soldier and one police-officer were hurt. In
the Senate on Friday, Signor Lanza, replying to questions,
confirmed this information.

The elections in North Carolina on Thursday last
passed off quietly, and shew large Democratic gains. The
returns, which at present are meagre, indicate that the
Conservatives have secured a majority in the Legislature
and four out of the seven members of Congress.
The New York Tribune states that Mr. Frelinghuysen
accepts the British mission.

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.)
A TOWN HALL BURNT.

At ten o'clock on Saturday night a cupola, on the Town
Hall of Newport, Salop, was observed to be on fire. The
flames spread with the utmost repidity, and by twelve
o'clock the handsome front block of buildings was gutted.
The hall is insured in the Sun Office.

OUR NATIONAL DEFENCES.

The organs of the two services are naturally on
the qui vine with respect to our national defences,
and are by no means inclined to be indulgent to
Ministerial shortcomings. The United Service
Gazette says the military measures of the
Government may be summed up in a
line. In summer they boastfully reduce
military expenditure by- one million; in autnnin they
ask fbr two millions to repair the mischief they have
done. The 20,000 men for whom Mr. Cardwell asks
are not impossible to be had, if the hook of the
recruiting sergeant be properly baited, butthe Gazette
thinks they will be quite insufficient, and looks for
the calling out of the Militia and the pulling
together of the volunteers. It advises a Volunteer
Congress in London, at which the commandants
should arrange plans for bringing their respective
corps up to their full complements. With
• 80,000 regular troops,. 100,000 volunteers, and
some 70,000 militia in all, we shall be in
tolerably good condition. As for the Davy, the
Gazette believes that the speech of Mr. Childers was
true as well as moderate. Our force might have been
more effective had we built turret-ships instead of
broadsides, and we must not forget that Rwesia, at
least, possesses a bond fide turret navy. Let us con.
vert our wooden line of battle ships into turret
vessels, and above all things let Sir Spencer Robin-
son have nothing to do with the matter. There will,
however, be no safety for the navy until despotic
power has ceased at the Admiralty. The Army and
Navy Gazette, on the other hand, thinks our
naval deficiencies the most serious of the two. A
great maritime war with its possible combinations
would require ten ironclads in the Channel, ten sail
in the North Sea, eight or ten in the Mediterranean,
and at least eight for other stations, ten more to
supplement our home port defences, and a
reserve of one third the active force. Have
we the ships, the men, or the means of providing
them, or stores for the ships we possess ? These
questions the my and Navy Gazette would like to
see promptly answered, for England blockaded would
be England ruined.
London, England, 1870-08-08

THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.

The news from the Red River is highly satisfac-
tory. The rebellion is all over and‘ peace and concord
will begin to reign. The inhabitants have unani-
mously accepted the terms of settlement proposed in
the Manitobah Bill. Riel, the leader of the former
opposition, is one of its most enthusiastic supporters:
and it has been decided that the country should enter
the Dominion on the terms specified in the Act. Of
course there will now be no expedition; in fact be-
fore any expedition 'could reach the settlement, a
harmonious arrangement will have been completely
established.

ROYAL BENEFICENCE.

Prince Arthur has, in a very praiseworthy manner,
sent a cheque for: twenty pounds to be placed to the
credit of the Canadian Volunteer Prize Fund now
being raised, to commemorate the bravery displayed
by the Volunteers in repelling the Fenian invasion. It
is handsome of the Prince, thus perceiving, almost on
his arrival in England, the means whereby he may
shew the Canadians, in however trifling a way, that
he does not forget their reception of him. A. greater
act still of royal consideration and munificence has,
however, been accomplished this week, and that, too,
at the hands of a man whose temperament and softer
feelings are just now sorely tried. We learn that the
Emperor Napoleon has given special orders for all
of his prisoners to be "provided with money in case
of need, and to be treated with the utmost kindness."
How the inmates of our workhouses will wish to be
prisoners !

TO THE ELECTORS AND RATEPAYERS OF MARYLEBONE.
ENTLENIEN,--1 present myself as a Candidate
Vir for Election to the London School Board as one of the
Representatives of Marylebone. I have incessantly and actively
advocated a system of National Unsectarian Education. For
twenty years I have studied the wants, the claims, the rights of
the people •, and have all that time been in the habit of expres-
sing my opinions, as a public journalist, on the questions which
have arisen affecting their moral and material well-being.
I have been led to believe that my humble services to the pub-
lic cause will recommend me to the place of honour I seek at the
new Education Council.
I represent no sect, no party, no clique, and am not specially
supported by any organisation. I base my candidature broadly
on my known participation in the political progresses of the last
twenty years, of which the Elementary Education Bill of 1870 is
the most important.
Trusting to be favoured with your support on the day of
election,

I remain, Gentlemen,
Yours, faithfully,
BLANCIIAED JIIR.ROID.

THE NEW GERMAN CONFEDERATION.

There is a great prospect of serious difficulties
arising between Prussia and Bavaria respecting the
entry of tho latter into the new Confederation. The
situation is certainly very critical. By the treaty of
1866, concluded just after Sadowa, Bavaria and the
other South German States bound themselves to place
their armies at the disposal of the King of Prussia
in case of war, and receive]. in return a pledge that
North Germany would defend them in case they
were attacked. This alliance has been faithfully
carried out in the present war. But some more inti-
mate connection is required for the completion of
German unity, so that the Fatherland may present an
harmonious whole to the outer world. It is accordingly
proposed that the South German States should
enter the Confederation on terms similar to those
accepted by the Governments which form the exist-
ing Bund. They would send deputies to a German
Parliament, their armies would be under the com-
mand of the King of Prussia, and Bismarck would
become the sole Minister of Foreign Affairs for
Germany. Such a scheme of unity is popular
amongst Germans; but s ,me of the Governments
are reluctant to make the sacrifices it involves. Wur-
temberg consents very unwillingly to hand
over to Prusia the control of her
military and foreign affairs; and Bavaria
positively refuses to do so. The Ministry now in

power at Munich is of Conservative views, and feels
no great affection for the national movement. Its
opposition t'o.the surrender involved in accepting the
Bismarck scheme of a Confederatiun is EO strong,
that when Bavaria is offered the choice of entering
ti►e confederation or remaining outside of it,, it is not
improbable that the latter course will be taken.
Such a split may be avoided, but the present appear-
a►,ce of things is threatening.
