THE EASTERN QUESTION.

THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE.
TOURS, November a
Lord Lyons has communicated to the Government
here the proposal for a Conference relative to the
Treaty of 1856, and has asked if France would Wu
a plenipotentiary. Lord Lyons is now awaiting the
reply of the French Government.
BRUSSELS, November 30.
The Independance Beige publishes a telegram fr°ll)
Berlin, stating that England accepts the Conference
on the condition that Russia should give satisfB°.
tory explanations of the first circular of Prince
Gortschakoff.

A Vienna telegram of the Eastern Budget says the Tr'
sian proposal of a conference was made after a prevvol!
understanding had been arrived et with the Cabinet of Sl'
Petersburg. Russia has proposed that the confersoce
should 'meet at St. Petersburg, but this proposal WO 111

once declined, both in Vienna and in London.
A Pesth telegram observes :—" The greatest readiOs.
is shewn by all parties here to make patriotic sacrifices

tion is earnestly hoped for, but only if it can be made 01

VOTING BY BALLOT.

After the experience which the metropolis has had
of secret voting it is scarcely likely that any other
system will bo tolerated. The efficiency of the
secret voting was generally admitted, and
had it not been for the defective arrangements in
matters of detail every ratepayer who felt
disposed could hai,e recorded his vote. As it was
great difficulty was experienced in obtaining voting
papers, and in some cases the booths closed before
some hundreds of ratepayers who were present were
able to vote. The time, too, was unseasonable for
the working classes, who, having perforce to vote atter
leaving work, contributed greatly to the confusion and
disorder which prevailed. In connection with the
election at Lambeth, a protest has been lodged
with the authorities, in which it is alleged that
atter a quarter to eight, voting papers were given
indiscriminately, without any knowledge as
to whether the persons were ratepayers.
Arrangements for recording the votes much
more rapidly, or an extension of the
evening hours to suit working men, must be pro-
vided. Much anxiety was shewn by the female
voters, and in some instances married women, whose
husbands either would not or could not go to the
poll, claimed to vote in lieu of them, and were much
disappointed when told they might not do so.

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.

A. case involving an important point of law in
reference to landlords and tenants has been decided
in Scotland. An action was brought by a landlord
to recover a half-year's rent of a house. The de-
fendant in the case leased the premises in April for
entry in May, but typhus fever having in the inter-
val broken out in the house, he declined to take
possession. Sheriff Galbraith, in delivering judgment,
said, that in his opinion, the houseiwas quite:uninhabi-
table, inasmuch as .no fumigation had taken place,
and the presumption was that the premises were
still infected with fever. The defendant was entitled
to get possession of the house in a habitable condi-
tion. Under these circumstances he decided against
the landlord.

THE ARMY OF THE LOIRE.

The following despatches have been addressed to
the
Queen by the King of Prussia :
" VERSAILLES, November 29.
" To QUEEN AUGUSTA.

"Prince Frederick Charles reports that yester-
day's engagement was a perfect defeat of the greater
tart of the Loire Army, of which the whole 20th
°rim, and probably also the 18th and parts of the
16th and 16th, were present; according to French
statements 70,000 men.. The whole 20th Corps was
engaged ; the other corps only partially.
"The enemy left 1,000 dead on the battle-field,
"d is reported to have 4,000 wounded. We took
1;6U0 prisoners, and the number is increasing hourly.
'heir total loss was probably 7,000 men.
" General Aurelles is said to be wounded. Our
ese is 1,000 men, am mg whom are but few officers.
" WILLIAM."
" VERSAILLES, November 29.
"The enemy retreated in disorder towards the
berth, pursued by our troops. their abandoned
entrenchments we found four gulls.
" The hostile force discomfited by the 10th Corps
the 28th continnes its retreat. _

," In the night of the 28th and morning of the
`uth there was heavy firing from the Paris forts,
rich was succeeded by a strong sortie towards
s'llaY and the 6th Corps. The gunboats on the
eine co-operated with the troops.
" Simultaneously some smaller sorties and demon-
-I,ations were made against the sth and other Corps.
The enemy was everywhere repulsed. Our loss con-
wisted of seven officers and about 100 men."

PEACE MAKERS.

It is quite natural that a good many people inside
Paris should be in favour of peace ; and very likely
their view is the wisest. At the same tinie it is
noticeable that the advocates of peace are in great
part those persons who have a direct and special
interest in a speedy agreement. There is M. Edmond
About, for example, who cries out for peace every
evening in Le Soir. This gentleman owns an
estate at Saverne, which is in the territory doomed
by the Germans for annexation; and some uncha-
ritable persons suggest that M. About may not be
desirous of giving too much offence to his future
masters. He likewise owns a charming villa near
Paris, just under the guns of Mont Valerien. On
the whole, M. Abcut's patriotism during this contest
has not shone with temarkable brilliance. After
accepting the Emperor's hospitality at Compoigne,
and occupying a position of some favour with Napo-
leon and the Empress, M. About was not sparing of
his abuse of the fallen potentate at ter Sedan. The
Emperor finds enough employment in defending him-
self against those who were always his enemies,
without having at the same time to resist those who
were once his friends.
THE FRIENDS OF FRENCH PRISONERS.

A suggestion has been made on behalf of French
prisoners and their friends. It is proposed that an
office of inquiry should be temporarily established
in London, as England is, at present, the readiest
means of communication between Germany and
France. This office could be advertised in the
French and German papers, and afford the means of
transmitting communications to those captive
Frenchmen who do not know where their relative.
are in France, and suffer great anxiety in conse-
quence. The case' of a French prisoner from Metz is
cited in illustration of the necessity that exists for
some central source of inquiry and information.
When Metz capitulated this prisoner, Captain Noel,
was•sent into Germany. His father and mother,
who are now at Avranche, are still in great anxiety
about him, not knowing where he is ; he was well
when he left Metz, but no tidings have since been
heard of him. He is, of course, in ignorance of their
whereabouts, and cannot communicate with them or
ascertain any news of them. The proposal deserves
attention.

FOOT BALL AT ETON.

Yesterday being SL Andrew's Day was as usual
devoted to foot ball matches at Eton, which were wit-
nessed by a large number of old scholars and many
friends of present collegians. The match College v.
Oppidans was won by the latter. The contest which fol-
lowed between old Etonians now at Oxford and Cambridge
resulted in a draw.

SYMPATHY WITH THE POPE,

A crowded meeting of the Roman Catholics of the
diocese of Dublin was held yesterday, under the presi-
dency of his Eminence Cardinal Cullen. Resolutions were
passed expressing sympathy with the Holy Father, and
protesting against the invasion of the Roman States by
the Florentine Government. Several Irish Papal Zouaves
were present in uniform.

THE NEW Jun ACT.

----•
The New Jury Act is now in working order, ana
has been subjected to some severe criticism. The
abolition of the special jury list of appointment' 15
looked upon with disfavour, as entailing unnecessary
expenses on suitors, and depriving them of the
counsel engaged for them: The manner of paYl
•
jurymen will increase the cost of litigation, and Will'
it is feared, diminish the probability of compromise
as, when the litigants have been compelled to PI
their money beforehand, a powerful incentive to ec
amicable arrangement will have been removed'
Under the former system a plaintiff could if be
wished withdraw the record in his cause on Par,
ment of a small sum, but now he has to pay the cost
of the jury as well, and as each juror in attendance
is entitled to a guinea per diem, this makes a nna"
siderable difference.
,Some persons are of ()011ie°,
that it would have been bettter to have abolished
jury fees altogether, compelling all who are liable
to serve to do so on pain of a heavy fine, strictlY
enforced unless good reason for absence was forth-
coming. By this means the evils of the old system,
under which a few men were continually summoned
to act, and others by feeing the summoning cfficer
always evaded the call, would, it is thought, be
avoided.

A BALLOON IN THE CHANNEL.

Some Plymouth fishermen who were in the English
Channel on Tuesday night report that shortly before day-
light yesterday morning a large balloon, with lights in the
car, descended low enough to be distinctly seen. Having
" reconnoitred " the fishing fleet, the occupants of the car
threw out large quantities of ballast, and the balloon
rapidly ascended. The wind was blowing stronly E.S.E.
—a breeze which would carry the balloon over
the Scilly Islands into the Atlantic. The
crews of the Madge and the Union, two fishing
smacks, which have come into Plymouth, saw the balloon
eight miles south of the Eddystone Lighthouse. It ap-
peared within a few yards of the mast, and the aeronauts
hailed the fishermen in a language 'they could not under-
stand, and then threw out ballast.

CONDUCT OF THE MOBILES.

A correspondent of the Daily News at Boulogne writes
on November 29, as follows :—The fall of Amiens has,
however, caused great depression here, and this combined
with the uncertainty which exists as to there being
any ammunition, prevents any great enthusiasm
upon the question of resistance. The anxiety
as to the result has had the comic effect of
giving rise to a suggestion among the lower
classes that Boulogne and Calais should be offered
to England, and this from people who would not cede
Alsace and Lorraine. Details of the fighting on Sunday
are still wanting, but the rumoured decimation of the
battalion of Chasseurs, to which I alluded in
this morning's letter, is confirmed; and it is now
said that only 150 remain. I have seen a
gentleman who came from Amiens, and who was an eye-
witness of Saturday's combats. He was very much struck
with the utterly useless way in which the Mobiles
wasted their ammunition. He was posted behind
the French, and could see a long black line
of Prussians in front, silent and motionless, and
conk' also distinguish their cannon. The Mobiles,
who were even out of cannon-range, kept blazing
away into space, until encouraged at finding they
were. not killed, they made a forward move. When,
however, they arrived within mile-range of the Prussians
the black line gave forth a sharp volley ; men fell on the
French side, and the Mobiles drew back. These move-
ments were "repeated several times, until darkness came
On, Between eighty and ninety Stragglers from the
army arrived this . evening, and. it is. said have been

War.

We understand that the publication of Prince
Gortschakoff's Despatch, in reply to the Note of Lord
Granville, has been postponed for the present. The
probability is that it will not be printed here until Lord
Granville's answer has been placed in the hands of the
Russian Government.

The death announced of the Rev. John Hodg-
son, M.A., formerly vicar of St. Pet9r's, in the Isle of
Thanet, and secretary to the Clergy Mutual Assurance
Society. He was an energetic supporter of the Royal Sea
Bathing Infirmary at Margate, which by his efforts was
much improved and enlarged. Mr. Hodgson was in his
81st year.
London, England, 1870-12-01

RUSSIAN OPINION.

The Moscow Gazette of November 18 says that Rua
does not deny the force of treaties. She does not set her
will above them, and her note now is no precedent for
any party bound by a treaty to violate it at pleasure'
On the contrary, Russia alone has adhered to the cone
tions of the Paris Treaty in the strictest manner, and 110
thus set a good example. Russia does not prohibit the
signatory powers from assembling now to comfit°
her decision and to recognise the accomplished fact. 11.,e
Journal de St. Petersbourg says that, broken by one part,/
to the Treaty, it is no longer obligatory on the rest. An
yet Russia only refuses to be bound by the one digit°
which threatens her safety. Turkey commands Of
Dardanelles, and has a powerful fleet, although hot;
Russia and Turkey are apparently equally restrained
from the Euxine. The Moscow Gazette believes in au
alliance between Austria and Prussia.
The Russian Courier is not at all disturbed by
Granville's despatch, nor by the threats of the Engliap
press, because it is well known in St. Petersburg that
England can do nothing serious in the East without the
concurrence of France. " The English cry to arms," 05.4
the Courier, which it was expected they would do, but
fortunately their ways have long been known, and every
one understands that they only speak largely when they
do not wish to do anything else.

RAILWAY SAFETY.

Mr. Ruskin calls attention to the following para-
graph which occurs in one of his books, which
everyone at the time of their publication said were
frantic :

Already the Government, not unapproved, carries letters
and parcels for us ; larger packages may in time follow—
even general merchandise ; why not, at last, ourselves ?
Had the money spent in local mistakes and vain private
litigation on the railroads of England been laid out, in-
stead, under proper Government restraint, on really
useful railroad work, and had no absurd expense been in-
curred in ornamenting stations, we might already have
had—what ultimately it will be found we MUST have—
quadruple rails, two for passengers and two for traffic, on
every great line; and we might have been carried in swift
safety, and watched and warded by well-paid pointsmon,
for half the present fares.
London, England, 1870-12-01

THE POST OFFICE.

Discontent is said to be brewing in real truth
among the employ6s of the General Post Office,
and when one considers the large amount of addi-
tional work occasioned by the 'halfpenny postage
system now devolving upon the sorters and other
subordinate officers, it will be admitted that there
are at least openings for grievances. The grievances,
however, are of a remarkable kind. Much
of the dissatisfaction arises, we are informed,
in consequence of the employment of hosts of boys,
who are not only " helping to detraot from the
gravity of Government situations," but who
also are driving out the classes of auxiliary letter
carriers, and those of the older hands who declare
themselves ripe for superannuation. A complaint is
further raised against the new rule of employing
female clerks in the district offices, but this emanates
from an ungallant section, and may generally be
thought unworthy of notice, if not a preposterous
growl on the part of the grumblers.
London, England, 1870-12-01

ThE RECENT BATTLES.

---- -
Up to this time such accounts of the recent fighting on
the Loire as have reached England tend to shew that the
action, though of considerable extent, had' no decisive
result. The battle of Beaune, which is situated rather
more than twenty miles to the west of Orleans, seems to
have ended in a draw. A Manchester Guardi an telegram
says that the French made attacks in six
places, and were successful in five ; but from
no other source is the news so favourable to that side.
The French, in a Tours telegram, claim to have " re,
pulsed " their adversaries and to have taken many pri-
soners and one gun. The German despatches are not
explicit—one stating that the forces of Prince Frederick
Charles "maintained their positions," another that they
" victoriously repulsed",the enemy. The fact that each
side represents the 'other •as attacking indicates that the
action wash series of corubats, such as those which gene-
rally precede a great engagement, that the forces on both
sides were drawn into collision gradually and at different
points, and that the Germans had the best of it here and
the French there. It is likewise clear that in the Army
of the Loire the Germans have found the most stubborn
antagonist they have yet encountered. D'Aurelles is for
the present maintaining a defensive attitude, from want
of provision transport, it is said.
Of the battle near Amiens it transpires that the Mobiles
fought badly. These troops have behaved differently on
various occasion—sometimes making an obstinate stand,
sometimes, as in this case, ruining away.

5,000 to 6,000, with the view of enforcing payment of the
taxes among the nomadic tribes, especially in the direc-
tion of Benghazi, these tribes having the authority of
the Porte at defiance. Several Turkish officers of

have since left, for Tunis, for the purpose of purchasing
some 500 cavalry horses. Quarantine is still imposed
on arrivals here from the Black Sea, although

Florence that arrivals in Italy are still subject to
quarantine, and should we take it off Italy would not

WORKING MEN'S EXHIBITIONS.

The earlier specimens of the working man's
exhibition idea are r.ot calculated to encourage
extensive imitation. Some have been worse than
mere failures: they have' proved a disgrace. The
exhibition at Hull may be cited as an example.
The mismanagement has been gross. The dis-
in terestedAess of the committee is, it is
said, open to much doubt. At any
rate some of the members whose average earnings
may range from 243. to 303. a week, voted them-
selves 12s. for working on a Sunday, and comfortable
weekly incomes were likewise set down for the bene-
fit of the same gentlemen. Every member of the
Executive, being an exhibitor,. has a medal or sub-
stantial compensation. except the chairman, who is
in disfavour with them. This proceeding has
caused indignation in Hull, and further exposures are
promised. _

THE WRECK REGISTER.

In 1869 no fewer than 471 vessels belonging to
the United Kingdom, and 170 vessels belonging to
the British possessions abroad, were totally lost at
sea. An abstract of the returns of wrecks and
disasters at sea recorded in 1869 has been issued, but
the compilers find it necessary to state that even the
estimate they arrive at must be deficient as many ships
which left port have never been heard of. The lives
lost in 1869 in vessels belonging to Great Britain
amounted to 1488, and in ships sailing from the
Queen's islands and possessions abroad 194.
There is some satisfaction in learning that
of late years the mode of constructing
our sea-going vessels has so improved, that the
casualties are in consequence diminishing every time
the annul record of disaster is issued. In 1865 the
number of ships totally lost, belonging to the
British Isles alone, was 950.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The Registrar-Oeneral's return for the week
shows an average mortality of 28 per 1,000 of the
population, the deaths in London and 19 other large
towns amounting to 3,882. The proportions were, of
course, very different in different localities, ranging
from 37 in LiVerpool to 18 in Portsmouth. In
Vienna the annual rate of mortality was 27 per
1,000; in Bombay it was only 20. Scarlet fever
still maintains an alarming prominence. All over the
kingdom it is showing itself with more or less
violence, but in London it has been especially fatal.
The deaths rose from 150 in the week ending Nov,

12th to 162 in the week ending the 19th. flapPilh
it has since relaxed in severity, the deaths havilig
fallen in the week ending with the 26th to 122.
Since it prevails more or less in Bristol and Nor'°
in Newcastle and Portsmouth, it cannot be said t°
confine its ravages to one locality, while the bill,
commercial city of Liverpool, and the quiet inidlanc`
town of Leicester, are alike included in the list. 111
London and Liverpool, however, it has been by far
the most fatal, proving that great centres of popuir
tion favour its development. No less than elevell
fatal accidents occurred in the streets of the metro'
polis last week, a fact • which should teach f°°'
passengers the necessity of caution.

AUSTRIAN OPLNION.

The New! Freie Presse of Vienna continues to write
favour of war. It believes that a conflict between Russ';
and the Western Powers must come sooner or later, and
that the present moment is an extremely favourable one
for its settlement. Prussia h9.s her hands tied, and
Russia must fight single-handed. Hence she would,
in all probability, have to succumb to the united
strength of England, Austria, Turkey, and Italy. ill
addition to this, Russia has committed an overt act of
aggression, so that the Western Powers could engage 10
the war, not only with an assurance of ultimate victory,
but with a free heart and light conscience.
The Presse and other more cautious journals are i''
favour of a pacific policy.

Great quantities of corn are being bought in the
Danubian ports, on account, it is said, of the Russiali
Government.
