C3ST OF BRITISH COLONIES.

A return called for by Colonel Sykes has been
published, containinc, statements of the annual
cost to the British Empire of its several
colonies, from the year 1858-9 to 1867-8.
Each item is specified : the governor, justices,
clerks, police, education, troops, and various other
means of expenditure. The total cost incurred by
the nation Ibr the last year mentioned, for the "Mili-
tary and Maritime Stations, " Plantations and Settle-
ments," "Australian Settlements," and " Sundry Colo-
nies,"all taken collectively amounts t0:C3,967,920,which
is a little less than the general cost for several years
before. Of the military stations Gibraltar is the
most expensive, costing -5,420,465. Ileligoland is
the cheapest, being paid for by 1,166. Next to
Gibraltar in point of expense come Malta,
Cape of Good Hope, Hong Kong, Bermuda,
Mauritius, St. Helena, and the Falkland Islands. Of
the plantations and settlements Canada is the most,
and Vancouver's Island and British Columbia the
least expensive. The former costs £937,905, and the
latter, £1,205. New Zealand requires £173,255;
while Queensland costs only £3OO.

PAUPER CHILDRF.N,

MR. G. H. MOORE AND • THE PRIME MINISTER.

The London correspondent of the Irish Times says
that there is a misunderstanding between Mr. G.
H. Moore and Mr. Gladstone on the subject of
the release of the Fenians. Soon after the
Cabinet adjourned last Wednesday, Mr. Moore
says he received an assurance from the Government
that in answer to his question with reference to
an amnesty, he should receive a reply in the sense
of the following words :—" That the consideration
of this question must necessarily depend upon the
restoration of law and order in Ireland; and as soon
as the disorders now prevailing in that country
are repressed, the Premier trusts that he
will be able to give a very different
answer to Mr. Moore, and to promise the libe-
ration of the political prisoners." The Irish Times
correspondent says Mr. Gladstone's actual reply on
Thursday evening was simply the substitution of a
negative for an affirmative, and that consequently a
gross breach of faith has been committed.
London, England, 1870-03-22

WESTMINSTER.

Charles M'Grath, 20, a painter, was charged with stealing
a box containing jewellery, books, &c., value £l5, the goods
of Eliza Wilkins, 25, Earl-street West, Edgware-road.
The box was put with other packages into the Great
Western train at King's-cross, on the sth instant, and
booked to Acton, prosecutrix going 135 the train. At
Acton the box was missed, and on the same night
the prisoner pawned one of the brooches, and some other
trinkets at Messrs. Smiles and Ileigham's, Fulham-road,
and on the 9th, or four days after he took the box, re-
directed, to the Great Western booking office, at Knights-
bridge-green, and forwarded it to Acton. The ewellery
was gone, but the articles of minor value remained. Pri-
sorer, who did not deny the pledging and sendingt he box,
was remanded for inquiries.

TIIE IRISII LAND BILL.

What a convulsion of feeling might run through
the kingdom if a little clause of nine words were
added to the Irish Land Bill, "This bill shall
also apply to England and Scotland." It
is not at all likely to be added, how-
ever ; but the idea has been started, and the
Sheffield Telegraph had an article expressing a hope
that such a plan might be carried out. On the
strength of these comments, an M.P. has issued a
circular, in which he declares that the policy of inter-
ference in contracts, and the attacks on legitimate
rights of property contained in the bill, form a sub-
ject for serious reflection to all owners of property
in England and Scotland. A paper has already sought
to extend this policy to the two latter parts of the king-
dom. The security of the rights of property is not a party
question, and the conduct of Parliament in dealing
in committee with the provisions of the bill, by
which the rights of property are seriously endan-
gered, ought to be materially influenced by the
existence of this notion which may soon spread over
the country.

BISHOPS' AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND BILL.

A Cork paper publishes a list of amendments to
the Irish Land Bill, which it says emanate from
the Irish Roman Catholic Bishops now
at Rome. It comprises four propositions.
First, the Legislature is to legalise the right of the
tenant to improve his holding and continue in occu-
pation, unless cause to the contrary be sbewn in the
Land Court. Secondly, he is to have a right of
appeal in case an attempt is made to
raise his rent. Thirdly, on parting with his holding,
under any circumstances, he is to have a right to
sell his good will and improvements, the sale
to be subject to the sanction of the land-
lord or the Land Court, and the landlord,
to have the right of pre-emption. Fourthly, the
tenant is to have a right to subdivide his farm among
his own relations within certain limits. Lastly, all
claims against tilling grass lands are to be null and
void.
London, England, 1870-03-22

OPEN COMPETITION.

The Pall Mall Gazette says that at the present
time, when it is proposed to throw open the public
service to general comp, tition, it is inte-
resting to recal the observations made in
the year 1854 by the late Right lion.
Waddington, Under-Secretary for the Home Depart-
ment, on the subject. Mr. Waddington begins b
embessetrvileingethmaetutshiyis ineexffia
e
assertions that a large proportion of the
civil servants are men unambitious, indolent,
or incapable. It is true, he says, that their ranits are
not recruited from the ablest and most ambitious
youths of the country. It would be strange ambition
for a young man, who had just obtained the
highest honot.rs at Oxford and Cambridge, to aspire
to a clerkship in a public office at a scanty salary,
augmenting by slow degrees until it possibly reaches
80.0 or £l,OOO per annum. The ablest and most
ambitious of the youth of the country are not
and never will be, he contends, the stuff of which
clerks in public offices are made.
LEGISLATION AND INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE.
The Observer gives a striking illustration of the
close and intimate connection which exists be-
tween legislation and industrial enterprise.
It says . that the proposal of the Ritual
Commissioners to make certain amendments
in the Liturgy, and the agitation on the ques-
tion of a revision of the translation of the Bible have
thrown some hundreds of persons engaged in the
book-binding trade out of employment. In view of
the proposed change in the Prayer-book there is now
a complete stagnation in the business. The booksellers
are ,only anxious to dispose of their stocks on hand,
and will not add to them; and the public will be con-
tent with the old prayer e
books until
says
the new ones are ready. Memorials,
the Observer, are in course of preparation among the
operative binders, praying that some final decision
may be come to as soon as possible in order to re.
lieve the present state of uncertainty and remove the
causes if the want of employment and distress which
exist in the bookbinding trade.

he was accompanied by all the representatives of. the
foreign powers, with the exception of the British
11linister. What he found in the interior province!
is said to have surpassed his most sanguine ex
p3ctations. It is possible that with a natural
desire to exalt his own country in the eves of the
world, the President may have spoken too -favourably
of the condition of the farmers and merchants of the
Republic. The accounts are very glowing. 111.0,11,6.

steam mill he had built, at the cost of £lO,OOO, after
arriving in the colony with in his pocket. Tll°
importations of British produce into the Republic
are steadily increasing, and the great question of the
feasibility of sending live cattle from South America.
to Europe has every prospect of being successfully
sottled.

DESTITUTION IN JERUSALEM.

The Anglican Bishop at Jerusalem gives a harroiv-
ing account of the destitution prevailing in tba
Holy City. He says that the cisterns are nosy
empty. Bir Ayoob, in the valley of
Hinnom, and Kedron's Brook have been
seized by the Government for the soldiers. It is
pitiful, lie adds, to hear the cries and sobs of the
poor destitute people, especially the emaciated Jews•
Provisions are eight times dearer than a few
years ago, and for the first time people are mur-
muring against travellers coming to Jerusalenlf
as they say, to drink what little water there is. VT
less God, he says,- sends a plentiful latter rain, which
is still possible, many must perish of famine and
thirst.

CAPITAL SENTENCES.

Sir GEORGE JENKINSON, who had given notice of his
intention to move for leave to bring in a bill--respecting
the revision and commutation of Capital Sentences, pro-
tested against such remarks as had been made by the
Home Secretary.
Mr. BRUCE said that he did not intend, so far as the
Government was concerned, to offer any objectiou.
POLITICAL PRISONERS.

Mr. CALLAN had given notice of a motion with refer•
ence to the appointment of a select committee to inquire
into the rules affecting, and the actual treatment of,
political prisoners, with power to send for papers and per-
sons, and to examine notices.
Mr. BRUCE appealed to Mr. Callan not to press his
'faction, which was deferred until an early day.

THE TRIAL OF PRINCE BONAPARTE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

TOURS, March 22

In consequence of the absence of one of the jury-
men, the trial of Prince Bonaparte was not resumed
to-day until 11.20 a.m. The President demanded
of the prisoner to explain the meaning of the phrase
he had used, " My left arm was half raised in an
energetic manner." The prisoner said he was not
threatening, but was merely emphasizing his words.
The interior of the court is greatly crowded. The
town is tranquil.
A report that the President and the Court had
dined with the prisoner is untrue.

FRANCE.

PARIS, March 22.
The Emperor has addressed the folloWing letter to
M. 011ivier :—" I think it opportune under present
circumstances to adopt all reforms required by the
Constitutional Government of the Empire, in order
to put an end to the immediate desires for a change
which prevails in certain minds, and not to please
pubic opinion unsettled by creating instability. The
first place, I accord 'to those reforms which
refer to the Constitution and the prerogatives
of the Senate. The Constitution of 1852
had, above all things, to provide the Government
with the means of ertablishing authority and order,
but it remained to be perfected. As long as that
constitution existed the country could not have al-
lowed the establishment of public liberties on solid
bases. At the present time when successive changes
have gradually created a constitutional regime in
harmony with the bases laid down in the plebiscite,
it is important to replace in the domain of law all
that more especially has reference to the pre-
servation of legislative order, impress a definite
character upon the latest reforms, to place
the constitution above all controversy, and
to call upon the Senate, that grand Body which
contains so many brilliant men, to lend to the new
regime their most efficacious concurrence. I there-
fore request you to come to an understanding with
your colleagues, and lay before me the draft of a
Senatus Consultum, which shall firmly fix the funda-
mental di-positions deriving from the plebiscite of
1852, and which shall divide the Legislative Power
between the two Chambers and restore to the nation
that portion of constituent power it had delegated
to me."

The High Court of Justice assembled to-day, and
the proceedings commenced at 11.30 a.m. The court

military authorities, as well as the mother and brother
of the late Victor Noir, were present.
The Court adjourned at five p.m., after the
examination of M.M. Fonvielle and Grousset. M.
Fonvielle was excited, and treated the Prince as an
assassin. The Prince retorted that witness was a
sympathiser of Orsini. M. Grousset was called to
order for seditious language.

THE ART OF SWIMMING.

Not one of the boys of Her Majesty's ship Chiches-
ter who lost their lives through the collision on the
Thames a few days since, it is stated, knew how to
swim. This circumstance fully accounts for the
lamentable loss of life that followed on a smooth
and narrow river. Well may it be asked what sort
of training is it that is given to boys intended. for
the navy, of which swimming forms no part ? In their
destined career, one would have imagined that the
peril they would most probably have to incur, would
be the chief one to be guarded against. It is essen-
ial that every lad should be taught to overcome the
simplest risks of the water; it is only right that
swimming should form part of the hardy education
afforded at least to every strong boy. Yet in England
it is not so. Daily almost in the summer months
some fatal case of drowning has to be recorded, and
often, too, under circumstances which denote that
the victims have never even been told how to
make a rational effort of any kind to save themselves,
even under circumstances of their being close to
, the shore. If it is shameful that landsmen
do not learn themselves, or teach their Eons, to
swim, what shall be said if the art is not thought
worthy of a sea-boy's education ? That five sailor-
lads of the average age of 16—an age when natural
alertness and dexterity, one would have thought,
might have been most readily exerted, perished in
broad daylight, and on a calm surface, without
having any knowledge whatever as to how they
might strike out for the shore, or how they might
float till assistance came, seems to reflect most
seriously on the instructors who had the boys under
their charge.

FAREWELL SOIREE TO BABOO KES HUB

CHUNDER SEN.

A farewell soiree was given last evening, at the Han-
over-square Rooms to the Baboo Keshub Chunder Sen,
on his approaching return to India. After tea addresses
were delivered in the tare hall, which was crowded. The
meeting was addressed by a number of ministers and
others of various denominations, who thanked the Baboo
for his efforts at Indian civilisation. Miss Emily Faith-
ful, in a brief but effective speech, thanked him on behalf
of the women of England for his efforts to elevate the
social position of their sisters in India. The Baboo, in an
address of considerable length, responded to the invitation
to say what he thought of England. In the first portion he
elicited loud laughter by his humorous criticism of the pecu-
liar habits of the Bull family in the way of shopkeeping,
puffing, and the dressing of the ladies; and in the latter drew
forth much applause at the eloquent manner in which he
expressed his admiration for the charitable and useful
institutions of the country, praying for the influence of
every English man and woman to bring about a similar
state of things in India.

PEACE.

The Telegraph remarks that if diplomacy and states-
manship are worth anything, surely a peace ought to be
had. It will be a sad confession of the helpless brutality
of our age, if, from such elements of conciliation on
either side, representative men cannot arrange
terms to satisfy the just requirements of Ger-
many, and to save the capital of civilisation from
the frightful visitations which seem impending. The
friends of peace ought not to be discouraged by the con-
tinued advance of the King's soldiers, nor yet by
the desperate talk and warlike preparations of
the Paris leaders. There are necessary pre-
parations on both sides ; the conqueror can-
not afford to suspend his progress while he
listens to informal suggestions of a peaceful settlement;
and the hapless capital of France would lose her last
chance—as she believes—in negotiating, if she relaxed
the attitude of defiance. But for just so long as no shot
is fired against the defences of the city the war
remains the Empire's war for so long it can b
peacefully repudiated, paid for, deplored, an
terminated. Paris ought not to be besieged
merely to humiliate or to punish her ; the only
just cause for such a mournful extreme would be the
refusal of the new Government to secure King
William's people against the danger involved in
those bitter feelings which must be left when
the German armies have retired. The neutral Powers,
not having interfered to prevent the war, could
scarcely interfere now to forbid its direct consequences;
but they can urge generosity on the stranger nation, and
a reasonable submission upon the defeated people ; while
the opinion of the civilised world would back them in their
efforts to spare Europe the fearful plague of slaughter and
hatred.

THE ST. LEER.

Contrary to his usual custom, Hotspur in the Daily
Telegraph selects four favourites as probable " place "
horses for the St, Leger Stakes. He mentions them in
the following order :—Kingcraft, 1; Palmerston, 2 ;
CalatiVator, 3 ; Tabernacle, 4. " Hotspur'•' considers that
if Sornette enters for the Doncaster Cup she will be the
winner.

Twenty-six horses, cn route for Doncaster, arrived at
Oxford on Sunday night, and were sent on by an early
train, yesterday morning. Amongst them were Mr.
Merry 's Sunlight and King of the Forest, accompanied
by Waugh, the trainer, and Tass Parker. The winner of
the Two Thousand was left in his stable. Sunlight was
looking uncommonly fit and well ; the stable are sanguine
of his success in the Leger if he will only try. Mr. Bray-
ley's Recorder, another Leger candidate, also went through
from Oxford.

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. See., 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the
Union Bank of London (Carey-street Branch), W.C.

TWO NAVAL HEROES.

Captain Cowper Phipps Coles, whose name is so
well-known in connection with the turret system
of building ironclads, has, it is now certain,
perished with his own viork, like Win-
stanley with the former Eddystone lighthouse.
He was born in 1819, and was the son of a Hamp-
shire rector. During his first service on board the
Madagascar he saw the bombardment of St. Jean
d'Acre, and afterwards landed with the allied
armies in 1840 on the coast of Syria.
Be served in various ships in different capa-
cities until in 1853,when he was made flag lieutenant
to his first captain, the late Lord Lyons. His gal-
lantry in the naval operations during the Crimean
War obtained him his commandership, and he
rendered good service at Taganrog iu the' construc-
tion of a raft drawing less than two feet of water,
which should carry a long 34-pounder. He was
afterwards employed to intercept Russian steamers,
but he busied himself chiefly in examining the forts
and works of the enemy. His designs for the construc-
tion of shot proof rafts, guns, and mortars,
were so favourably received that he was
ordered to England to communicate with the dock-
yard authorities. The close of the war suspended
these proceedings, and since then, as we all
know, Captain Coles has devoted himself to the
development of the turret ship. The Captain was
not entirely according to his design, tut in the main
represented his views. Captain Coles was a Knight
of the Legion cf Honour, and had received the
Syrian, Crimean, and Turkish medals ; the Crimean
with the Sebastopol and Azolf clasps. Captain Hugh
Talbot Burgoyne, the commander of the unfortunate
vessel, who has, according to true naval fashion,
gone down with his ship, was the son of General Sir
J. Fox Burgoyne, G.C.B. He was born in 1833.

THE OCCUPATION OF ROME.

The Daily News, in reference to the movement in Italy,
says :—lt is an ill wind that blows nobody any good.
The success of the German armies on the soil of France
is not, as M. Jules Favre would fain believe, a
disaster for all the so-called Latin races of Europe,
for one of them, at least, finds the greatest possible
national advantage in it. We were able to an-
nounce some time since that the Italian Govern-
ment had resolved to take possession of Rome
during the month of September. The intelli-
gence from the Roman frontier to-day shows that
after some natural and pardonable hesitancy, the
resolution has been followed by action. Italian unity
has been in these late years a kind of shadow of Ger-
man unity. The French Republic of 1848 for-
bade Italy to be one. It sent an army to re-
conquer Rome for the Pope, and it handed on to
the Empire, as a necessity of its policy, the pro-
tection of the Papal authority against the revolution
within and the Italian people without. The Empire
partly repaid Italy for its interference in Rome
by expelling the Austrians from Lombardy, but
it was the victory of Prussia at Sadowa
which freed Italy from the hated presence of
the foreigner. France, however, still stood in the way of
national unity. The Emperor could never make up his
mind to let Italy have Rome. The Republic has been
obliged to conciliate the priests, the peasants, and the
women by winning back the Pope's Throne, and the Em-
pire, which absolutely rested on the peasantry and
the priesthood, and probably was a good deal swayed by
feminine influence at the Tuileries, dared not leave the
Infallible Head of the Church to his own wisdom and
might. Nor would the mere overthrow of the Empire
have been sufficient to open the way of theltalians to their
historic capital. The policy of interference at Rome was
not the choice of any particular Government in France.
but was the necessity of all French Governments. Italy
had but two chances of getting rid of that interference—
the chance of a quarrel between the Pope and France, or
of the preoccupation of France in some great
quarrel of her own. These two chances have happened
together; but it is the latter which is the lucky chance
for Italy.

TREATMENT OF FRENCH PRISONERS.

"An Eye-Witness" draws a fearful picture in the
elegraph of the sufferings endured by the French
prisoners who formed part of the army of the un-
fortunate MacMahon at the capitulation of Sedan.
Hitherto we have been led to believe that the Ger-
mans treated their prisoners of war with a kindness
which could not have reasonably been expected by
their captives. Indeed, to such an extent have
they carried their generosity that when
the wounded of both nations arrived in
various German towns a marked and almost .uJ-
patriotic preference was shewn towards the French,
especially by the ladies. Not a few patriots de-
nounced this preference, b at the attentions of the
ladies were unremittingly showered upon the cap-
tives nevertheless. It is therefore with astonishment,
if not with incredulity, that we receive the statement
from "An Eye-Witness," that "on Thursday, or
rather Friday last, MacMahon's army, numbering
80,000, surrendered as prisoners of war. Can you
believe that since then—a period of five full days—
all the men of that army, and such of the officers as

would not sign the agreement not to bear arms
against Prussia during the present war, have been
left out in an open field, without tents or covering of
any kind, and with barely enough food to keep life in
them. The writer then goes on to say that since Mac-
Mahon's surrender not one ounce of meat had been
served out to the prisoners, and all the food they
received was a hard biscuit per man for every two
days, and this whilst the Germans had plenty to eat,
having two meat meals per day. The poor captives
were terribly afflicted with bowel complaint, whilst
many " were flushed with raging fever." If what
"an Eye-Witness ". says be true, the Germans will
lose much of that credit which their humanity in
other instances of the campaign had earned for them.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Yesterday afternoon an accident took place near North-
ampton which has terminated fatally to a brother of Lady,
Henley, of Walford Court, near Rugby.' It appears that
the deceased was riding in company with another gentle-
man along the turnpike road near Darlington, which is a
village one mile from the town, when the horse the
deceased was riding suddenly bolted; and one of his feet
leaving the stirrup he was thrown into theroad with great
violence, and received a severe concussion of the head.
He was picked up and at once taken to the residence of
Dr. Barwin, Northampton. Surgical attendance was of
no avail, and he succumbed to his injuries.
