LIEBIG COMPANY'S EXTRACT OF MEAT.
Amsterdam Exhibition. 1869. First Prize, being above the
Gold Medal. Supplied to the British, French, Prussian, Russian
Italian, Dutch, and other Governments. Dr. Lankester writes
regarding Extract of Meat :—" But there is a difference in flavour,
and here, as in all other kinds of food, it is the flavour that
makes the quality." It is essentially on account of the fine
meaty flavour, as distinguished from the burnt taste of other
Extracts, that LIEBIG COMPANY'S EXTRACT defeated all
Australian and other sorts at Paris, Havre, and Amsterdam, and
is so universally preferred in all European markets.
One pint of fine-fhts'oured Beef-tea at 20. Most convenient
and economic ‘, stock."
CeunoN.—Require Baron Liebig's, the inventor's, signature on
every jar, and ask distinctly for LIEBIG COMPANY'S
EXTRACT.

THE ARMY JOURNALS ON THE WAR.

The Army and Navy Gazette says that at the present
time France is assuredly the best prepared for battle, but
Prussia has the largest and surest reserve. The United
Service Gazette says :—The probability is that the French
armies will attempt the invasion of Prussia, and
that the French fleets will act against the Baltic
forts. What Prussia will do it is not so easy to
guess, but we have little doubt but that Counts Bismarck
and Moltke have their plan of campaign in a tolerable
state of forwardness. It is rumoured that France has
secured the neutrality of Italy by withdrawing the
French garrison from Rome, an act which will probably
be followed by much more important action on the part
of the Italians than the debates of the (Ecumenical
Council. If Spain has- been .a consenting party to
the candidature of Prince Leopold, her strength, such
as it is, will, of course, be thrown into the scale
with Prussia. What Austria will do is for more impor-
ant, and we must not forget that without firing a shot she
gave France and England most valuable co-operation in
the Crimean war. By keeping up a strong army of
observation in the Principalities she kept the attention of
a large Russian army constantly on the stretch, and to that
extent weakened the defensive strength of the northern
Leviathan. She may do Prussia a similar good turn now
somewhere in the immediate neighbourhood of the recent
conquests of the latter. Politicians seem to think that
the eye of England will be more particularly fixed upon
Belgium, as the absorption of that little kingdom by
either of the belligerents would be certainly opposed to
our Continental policy. There is a vague impression
abroad that we may yet have to "strike in," in which case
the best advice we can glve to our naval and military
authorities is to lose no time in setting their houses in
order.

WAR FEELING IN PRUSSIA.

There is great warlike enthusiasm in Berlin. 'Thousands
of volunteers are demanding to be enrolled. At a grand
concert at the Zoological Gardens, attended by a
fashionable audience, there was a general demand for
the march with which the Prussians entered Paris in
1813. According to current reports military armaments
have now begun.

At the Leitrim Assizes the persons convicted of
a Whiteboy offence and attacking the house of a farmer
named Mollaghan, whom they ordered to give up his
land, were sentenced by Baron Hughes to five years'
penal servitude. Two brothers named M'Ternan were
sentenced to be imprisoned, one for two years and the
other for one year, for the manslaughter of a farmer, whom
they killed with' a " boy" (a spade), in a dispute about
the possession of some land.

FUNERAL OF THE MARQUIS OF LOTHIAN.-:—The
funeral of the late Marquis of Lothian took place on
Thursday, and the esteem in which the highly-gifted and
deeply-lamented nobleman was held can be, though only
imperfectly, appreciated from the great number of
mourners, both high and low, who followed his remains
to their last resting-place, Jedburgh Abbey. The
Prime Minister had expretsed a desire to be present to
join in paying the last honour to the deceased Marquis,
but was prevented leaving London in time for the funeral
owing to the tenor of recent despatches received from
Paris. The ceremony in the venerable ruin which con-
tains the family sepulchre is described as having been of
the most impressive character.

able than the unnecessary anxiety which we endure, and

which is often.

THE CARLISLE RAILWAY CATASTROPHE.— The
body of Mr. Little.'s son, who was killed -in the recent
serious collision near Carlisle, was buried on Friday in
London, having been brought up to Brompton for the
purpose. Mr. Little, the father, is still confined
to his bed, from cuts and bruises received in the same
collision, and his second son, John, is progressing favour-
ably. We understand that Mr. Little and his two sons,
who were returning from school, were seated in the car-
riage into which the goods train first ran, and that the
carriage was shivered to pieces,

Boy CLERKS IN THE POST-OFFICE.—The Post-
master-General gives notice that applications for boy

which the situation is sought. The limits of age are from
13 to 16, and the candidate must be examined by the
surgeon, and if he has not had the smallpox, must be
able to prove that he has been vaccinated with-
in seven years. None of them will be entitled
to any gratuity or allowance, and they will be liable to be
dismissed if in ill health or for misconduct, •or upon at-
taining the age of 19, but applications for appointment on
the permanent establishment will be. considered.
They must reside in or. near London with their

ENGLISH EITLWAVS.

The traffic receipts on some of the railways for
the week ending July 15th are noticeable, as shelv-
ing an increasing improvement in trade. The
increase on the Lancashire and Yorkshire amounted
to £1,326, on the Glasgow and South-Western
£2,146, on the Caledonian £2,567, and on the North
British £457; on the North Eastern the increase is
remarkable, being :no less than £12,718. On the
lines having termini in London the following increase
has taken place :,The Metropolitan, £405; Great
Eastern, £3,416 ; Midland, £5,907; Great Northern,
£5BB ; London and Brighton, £912 ; London and
South Western, £1,056; London, Chatham,:and
Dover, £2,194 ; Great Western, £3,312 ; London
and North Western, £8,407; and South Eastern,
£154. The receipts:on-the North London fell £lB7.

A CHANGE OF MINISTERS.

By a vote of forty against three the American
Senate has ratified the appointment of Mr. Theodore
Frelingliuysen as the New United States Minister in
England. This gentleman will come to Great Britain
far less known to us on this side of the Atlantic than
the skilled diplomatist and man of letters whom he
succeeds. Mr. Motley has already obtained an
honoured name; and has become a welcome visitor in
English society, by reason of his literary acquire-
ments, his extreme candour, and his superior tastes.
He has not, perhaps, laid the - foundation for so
fervent and lasting a friendship among all classes of
Englishmen, as the veteran Minister Mr. Reverdy
Johnson did during his period of office as ambas-
sador, but among that section of the people by
whom Mr. Motley is best kilo:ft—the section
best able to judge of his thorough capabilities
for and his earnestness in the diplomatic service,
—he has made a deep impression, and has
acquired a respect which will long serve to per-
petuate his fame. Mr. Frelinghuysen is not, it may be
stated, altogether unknown in American politics.
He has been associated with the Democratic party,
but it is said that he adhered to that section of
it which joined heartily in the prosecution of the
Union war. The appointment of a new minister, it
is to be hoped,indicates a renewal of efforts to settle
the one ground of difference between his country
. and ours. As a diplotnatist he h%s his reputation t o
male, and in the Alabama difficulty he will finp
materials by which he can make it with great honour
to himself.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.

The Army and Nary Gazette says—Meetings of the
Military Education Commission have been held during
the past week. The final report of the commission is now
nearly completed, and will shortly be submitted to her
Majesty.—The Board of Admiralty, in consequence of
the retirement of Mr. Trevelyan, now consists of Mr.
Childers, Admiral Sir Sydney C. Dacres, Vice-
Admiral Sir R. Spencer Robinson, Captain Lord
John Hay, M.P., and the Earl of Camperdown,
who will be awarded £l,OOO per annum.—The
Coastguard Squadron, under the command of Com-
modore G. 0. Willes, C. 8., proceeded to sea from Port-
land on Thursday morning, and will make Bantryßay its
rendezvous.—Captain Stanhope, R.N., has arrived in
England, and will at once undertake the ckities of
private secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty.—
Lieutenant-General Sir William Mansfield's staff. in Ire-
land will consist of Colonel E. Fellowes, unattached,
Military Secretary, and Captain J. Crealock, 95th
.Regiment, and Lieutenant G. S. Byng, Rifle
Brigade, aides -de - camp, and perhaps and extra
aide -de - camp who may be Tireafter appointed.—
"Twenty-six iron-clads actually in commission," quite
ready for any work by August 1, and seven or
eight more to back them, with men enough to work and
fight them. Such is Sir Sydney Dacre's account of our
naval condition, and a very good one it is. His Royal
Highness Prince Arthur is expected to arrive at Ports-
mouth, en route from Canada, in H.M.S. Crocodile within
the next day sr two. His Royal Highness left Montreal
on the 7th instant.
The Broad Arrow says :—The report of the Royal Com-
misioners on the Army Purchase Question, is deemed to
be insufficient, and has been referred back for reconsi.
deration.----There will from the Ist of August next be
only two military districts in Ireland, the Dublin
and Cork Districts. The divisional command
at Dublin and the. Curragh will be abolished
on the same date, when Major-General Sir A. A. T.
Cunyncharne, 5.C.8., will vacate his appointment ;
Major-General W. S. Newton, who has lately terminated
a short service at Malta as Major-General on the staff,
will be appointed to .the command of the Dublin District,
and will likewise command a brigade.—Captain Stirling,
the newly-appointed Commodore of the Australian Squad-
ron, will meet the Duke of Edinburgh at the Cape of
Good Hope. His Royal Highness from that date
is to receive no more royal salutes, but
is to be treated, se we learn from the Madras
Mail, precisely as any ordinary Captain in the
Navy. The cocked kat is doomed. Lord Napier has
ordered that the new pattern of staff helmet, prescribed
for the lilt neral staff of the army, is to supersede the
cocked hat on all occasions., except when otherwise
ordered..

THE WELSH GIRL-A CASE OF STARVATION.

The investigation of that moat miserable and most
unnatural instance of deception known for months
pastas the history:of the life and death of poor Sarah
Jacob, the Welsh Fasting girl, has been at length
closed. Ever since the death of the unfortunate
victim it has been continued intermittently.
It terminated on Thursday with the verdict of the
jury and the sentence of the judge at. the end
of the trial of the wretched parents—the verdict
being guilty, and the sentence, that of twelve
months' imprisonment on the male and six
months' imprisonment on the female pri.

soner. The evidence of the surgeon who assisted
in making the post-mortem examination we take to be
conclusive. Traces of starch globules were sound by
Lim in the intestines, and minute traces also of bone,
the bane of a small bird or of a fish ; he was disposed
to think it was the bone of a fish. When asked
point blank " What [meaning, of course, in your
opinion] was the cause of death ?" witness
answered laconically, " Starvation." Whereat
there went all through the court that shudder
called by reporters "Sensation." The case in point,
is not by any means the first instance of this strange
and cruelly fantastic kind of deception. Years ago
Bernard Kavanagh affected, just as this poor Welsh
girl did, to live without nourishment. Sarah Jacob's
case, however, is the first in which there has
been evidence adduceable of the parents of the
victim being accomplices, even to the extreme result
of death by starvation.
WHERE ARE THE POLICE?

This question is asked by " A Muscular Peace-
maker," who, speaking of the Franco-Prussian diffe-
rence, advises England to don the helmet and step
in and persuade or compel the contending parties to
keep the peace. This peacemaker thinks that Eng-
land ought to declare at once that "she will sweep
the seas of every stick afloat belonging to the power
who first takes the field." This is the kind
of thing that would give a tone to the
Eatanswill Gazette; but that the Times
should give it the honour of large type and prominent
position is astounding. The attempts made by
England to prevent the war between Prussia and
Denmark did not bring so much credit to this
country as to warrant her in undertaking so vast a
responsibility as the one to which this philanthropist
points. The history of the country is full of records
of intermeddling, induced by the belief that it was
the vocation of England to be mixed up in every
war that occurred. Experience has told us that all
our endeavours have been signal failures, and that
the only consequence has been misery and suffering.

TRIAL FOR MURDER IN IRELAND.

At Tipperary Assizes, on Saturday, John Gleeson was
tried for the murder of Patrick Kirwan, laud bailiff, at
Holycross, Tipperary, on the 11th of April. The
Attorney-General prosecuted. Evidence showed that
possession of Gleeson's farm was taken for Kirwan for
Clarke, the landlord, an arrangement by which Gleeson
got a considerable sum. Kirwan remained at the farm
after the other bailiffs left, and was found some hours
later dead, his head being literally beaten in,
and a large blood-stained stone beside him. Gleeson
after being arrested made a confession, which was_given
in evidence, to the effect that Kirwan provoked him by
refusing him permission to remove some bushes, using
angry expressions, and that in a sudden fit of passion he
struck Kirwan down with a pitchfork which he had in his
hand. He was in such a passion that he could not say
how many more blows he gave him. His sister Ellen,
who has since disappeared, was looking on. Judge Law-
son ruled that the facts alleged in the confession would
not reduce the crime to manslaughter, but after two hours
deliberation the jury were unable to agree to a verdict.
They were then locked up for the night. Eventually the
jury were discharged without giving a verdict.

INDIA AND AMERICA:

News of the declaration of war has reached America
and India, and we have already telegrams in reply. A
meeting of German merchants has taken place at Calcutta
to raise subscriptions for the aelief of the wounded.
Business, it is said, has been much disturbed in consequence
of the news of the waz. FroM the United States we
learn that President Grant has sent a message to CongresEi
urging the necessity of legisiation with a view to increase
the commercial marine, by purchasing foreign built
vessels. M. Prevost-Paradol was officially presented to
the President on Saturday. M. Prevost-Paradol said
he rejoiced at being selected for this mission at a
time when the traditional friendship between France
and the United States was darkened by no cloud. He
would faithfully endeavour to strengthen the political
sympathy and to enlarge the industrial and commercial
relations between France and the United States. Presi-
dent Grant replied by assuring M. Prevost;Paradol of
his cordial support in every effort to increase the com-
merce and to perpetuate the traditional amicable
relations between the two countries. On receipt
of the President's Message by the Senate a bill providing
for the issue of American registers to foreign-built vessels
was called up and briefly debated, and then laid aside
without action. The House of Representatives, in an ex-
tended session, debated the same bill, and it was tabled
by 95 against 75 votes.

THE LEGISLATIVE BODY.

In the course , of the debate that followed,
M. Gambetta urged the Government to communic-
ate to the House not only the despatches from the
diplomatic agents of France on the Franco-Prussian diffi-
culty, but also the insulting Prussian Note, and especially
the Circular sent by Count Bismark to all the European
Cabinets. The Duc de Gramont, in reply, said this
Note had been shown to the Committee of the
House, and requested the Chamber to remain
satisfied with that partial communication. The Left
insisted upon the Note being laid before the House, and
great excitement prevailed. M. Gambetta asked if the
Note had really been communicated to the European
Cabinets, and concluded by stating that if this despatch
was of a serious nature it ought to be laid not only before
the Chamber, but before the whole country, in order that
the war might be a really national war. M. 011ivier said :
"I am surprised that it should be so difficult to make a
question of honour understood by a certain side of the
House. A striking and incontestable fact exists, in pre-
sence of which no text is necessary. We received this
Note from all our diplomatic agents." Several members
of the Left exclainied " Give the text then !" M. 011ivier
resumed, and implored the Chamber to close the discus-
sion, on the ground of its being inopportune. M. Picard
said he did not dispute the existence of this Note, but
only claimed its production. M. Grevy endeavoured to
speak, but the close of the debate was ordered.

It is stated that the Emperor signed the decla-
ration of war on Friday afternoon. It is believed
that the Emperor will assume the chief command of the
army, with Marshals Bazaine and MacMahon as subordi-
nates. As stated at present, the head-quarters of the
French army will be at Langers. All reserves were re-
called on Friday evening. The army of Paris is ready
to start at the first signal.

REPRESENTATION OF ROCHESTER.

Another large out-door meeting was held at Rochester
on Saturday night. Mr. Charles James Fox, the working
man's candidate, was present and explained his views,
speaking in favour of Protection as opposed to the Free-trade
policy. No other candidate has come forward in opposi-
tion to Mr. Goldsmid. The nomination takes place to-
day. If a poll is demanded it will take place to-morrow.

THE RACING LAWS.

In anticipation of. Saturday's meeting of the Jockey
Club, "Senex," whose observations with respect to
the turf have obtained for him some credit recently,
wrote to the morning papers a letter approving of
tho decision of the:" Two-year-olds" inquiry com-
mittee nominated by the Club, who have recom-
mended that no two-year-old shall be stripped in
public before the Ist of May, or entered in any
handicap race before the Ist of October. By
this decree and by other recent ones some
members of the club, in the estimation of
"Senex," have proved their ability to provide salutary
reforms in the racing laws to a far greater degree
than sceptical outsiders expected. This last regula-
tion in favour of the commencement of two year old
racing being fixed for May 1, is, he contends, in har-
mony with the opinion hold by the majority of the
trainers in England. The growth and future pros-
pects of the animals will no longer, " Senex" hopes'
be spoiled by too early or too frequent racing, or by
the trying weather of the winter or spring. He
considers, however, that the club ought not
only d#to sanction the recommendations •of
'the committee, • but . also the amendment
of Sir Joseph Hawley, to the effect that "No plate,
prize, or public money should be given for any race
to which two year olds are admitted, or for any. han-
dicap." The ruin of the turf has been almost ac-
complished by the running of horses when too young,
and Senex stoutly maintains the theory that the
thoroughbreds of England continue to deteriorate
daily while the practice is allowed to exist, in spite
of Admiral lious's declaration that they are in these
days, and under the present laws, better than ever.

THE HEALTH OF THE FRENCH EMPEROR.

During the last few days conflicting accounts have
prevailed with respect to the health of the Emperor
Napoleon. While some _assert that he is in the
enjoyment of excellent health, others affirm that he
is in a most unsatisfactory condition, and still more
gloomy prophets are not wanting to maintain that he
is in a serious state. Even this view of the case gives
rise to different reports, and opinions vary as to the
character of the disease from which he is suffering.
He is said to be laid up with an attack of a temporary
nature, and again, to be overcome with
the complication of disorders to which he has been
subject for many years. In some quarters
a doubt is expressed as to his capability of
joining the army at., all, and others declare positively
that he will shortly appear in the midst of the
soldiers, and encourage them by his presence and
support. Time must settle this vexed question, but
in the meantime the sinister rumours which have
gained ground cannot fail to exercise a depressing
influence, more especially when it is remembered
how precarious was the state of the Emperor last
autumn.

EDUCATION IN IRELAND.

The Commissioners of Education in Ireland have
just issued their annual report of the condition and
prospects of the Royal Schools and Tenantry Schools
under their supervision. Satisfactory progress has
been made in five of the former. Of the remaining
two, returns have been furnished which present fea-
tures not worthy of special notice. The children
who have attended the Primary or Tenants' Schools
have augmented in number to a remarkable
extent. This has been especially the case in the
schools opened on the Dungannon Royal School
Estate, and at Middleton, County Cork. At the
additional buildings have had to be provided and the
latter, although enjoying a very moderate endowment,
is in as flourishing a condition as any school in Ireland.
Much of the present report of the Commissioners is
devoted to a resume of the regulations under which
Royal scholarships and Royal School exhibitions can
be obtained in Trinity College, Dublin. Pensioners and
sizars,but not fellow commoners,are qualified,it appears,
to compete for these awards, and no religious test of
any kind is required. Attached to Armagh Royal
School there are five T.C.D. exhibitions, three of them
worth £5O each for five years. Dungannon school
enjoys the privilege of having nine exhibitions, six
of them worth 250 for five years : and Enniskillen
Royal School can send to Dublin University compe-
titors for seven exhibitions, two only of which are
however, worth £5O. The Middleton Tenants'
School can confer a £3O prize- and a £2O prize
on its scholars, but none of the other primary institu-
tions can offer any award. Criticising the rules
the commissioners recommend that the plan of con-
fining University Exhibitions to certain schools
should cease, and that they should be allowed to apply
the funds of all public schools for Exhibitions in con.
nection with any schools they may think fit. The
commissioners also consider that the power of alter-
ing systems of instruction in all the institutions
should be left more to their judgment than it is.

AFFAIRS AT RED RIVER.

The latest accounts from Red River received by
the New York papers are highly encouraging and
represent the war as virtually over. Riel, it is said,
is virtually kept a prisoner in Fort Garry by his own
men who have sent a guard to the line to prevent his
leaving the settle memt. Deputations from both whites
and :Indians have been despatched to meet the
Dominion expedition, and to offer it assistance along
the route. It is reported that a procla-
mation by the Governor-General will shortly
be issued, declaring the admission of Manitoba
into the Dominion, and that it will contain an
amnesty clause. The Manitoba Act, as it is
called, which provides for the government of the
Red River settlements, was passed by the Dominion
Parliament some time since, and has been unani-
mously accepted by the Legislative Assembly at
Fort Garry. On the 25th of June there was a gene-
ral celebration of the event in the settlement, and
President Riel and his Ministry were busily engaged
in constructing a proclamation announcing the
happy termination of the war, and welcoming
Governor Archbold, who was expected to
go direct to Winnipeg through the United States,
and establish the Canadian authority before the
expedition arrived. It has been supposed that the
expedition would be abandoned, but, on the other
hand, it is scarcely thought possible to govern the
country in its present disturbed state without mili-
tary force. The termination of the war troubles has
given new life to the settlement, and orders for sup-
plies of all kinds have been promptly despatched to
the United States and to Canada. A large immi-
gration from Canada is looked for, and altogether
the Red River perplexity may be considered to be
happily settled.

ESCAPE FROM FIRE.

The fatal fire in the Waterloo-road has brought
the subject of escaping from fire again under public
notice. It seems strange that so many lives should
have been sacrificed on the occasion, when the scene
of the conflagration was close to a fire-engine station,
and when two fire-escapes were in the immediate
neighbourhood. The arrangements of the buildings
which were destroyed seemed to have presented
unusual advantages for the inmates in an emer-
gency like that which occurred. The attic
window furnished a means of escape to
the next house, and the only way to account
for the children not seeking to avail themselves of
the opportunity is that they must have been suffoca-
ted by the smoke or stupefied by fear. It is impos-
sible to form a correct opinion until all the circum-
stances of the case have been thoroughly
investigated, but according to present appearances
there seems to have been too lengthy a delay in pro-
curing the fire escapes. The firemen showed much
courage and were at one time exposed to great risks.
The chief evil to be dreaded on these occasions is the
unreasoning terror which is apt to take possession of
people's minds. Had the inmates of this dwelling-
house exercised presence of mind, they could not
have failed to turn the advantages they possessed to
account and more lives would have been preserved.
London, England, 1870-07-27

STATE OF THE BRITISH ARMY.

The present attitude of England is one of strict
neutrality, and while regretting the position which
France and Prussia have taken up, the Government
has wisely refrained from any act that might be
taken as an indication of the faintest desire to inter-
meddle beyond what is considered obligatory on
England in her character as a Christian country, and
as a member of the great European family. In the mean-
time, however, there is an obvious duty to her own
interests which should not be neglected. A writer
in the 'I imes, who signs him9elf "A Neutral," calls
attention to the fact that " in the last few years great
reductions have been made in our military expendi-
ture, and considerable changes in our military
organization." According to this writer, so
great has been the change, that, whereas a
battalion on a war strength should number 1,000
men; at the present time it is only 340. The
cavalry regiments are in a similar state, and the
artillery batteries are hopelessly weak ; so much so,
indeed, that if it were necessary to bring 14 up to
a war strength out of the 34 we possess at home, we

ITALY AND ROME.

The Italian Government has been questioned in
the Chamber relative to its foreign policy. The
Foreign Minister replied that Italy could not be indif-
ferent at such a crisis, but she would remain strictly
neutral. The Minister added that the worst policy would
be to take advantage of present circumstances, in order
to embarrass France and thus create the belief that Italy
desired violently to solve the Roman question.

GREAT MEETING OF GERMANS.

Yesterday afternoon, a large and influential meeting of
Germans, resident in London, was held at the City Termi-
nus Hotel, Cannon-street, to promote the fund which has
been started to aid the sick and wounded Germans during
the pending struggle. The great hall, in which the meeting
was held, was crowded, the bulk of those present being
City men. Baron Schroder was unanimously called to
the chair, and in opening the proceedings, which were
conducted wholly in German, explained the object of
the meeting. He said thousands of Germans
were now hastening to to their native country
to sacrifice life and property for their in-
dependence, and from the Baltic to the Alps,
the world now saw the magnificent spectacle of a united
country and a united people. (Cheers.) They were proud
to call themselves Germans, and they would prove to the
world once more that they were neither Prussians nor
Bavarians ; that they were neither Frankforters nor
Hamburghers, but Germans, ready to stand in defence
of their country, to uphold its honour, and prepared
to drive hostile foreigners from its frontiers, (Cheers.)
Those who were present at the meeting coufd not like
some of their brethren to take the sword and face the
enemy, but they could render assistance in another way.
They could assist the wounded and ssoth their pain ; they
could help the widows and the orphans, and these
were the special purposes of the meeting. He
would urge them to forget all differences
in political opinion, and only to bear in mind that they
had a great duty to perform. That duty he was sure
they would not shrink from, and then they would have
the satisfaction of knowing that they had done their share
towards upholding the honour of their country. To
Englishmen he might say they had ample proof of the
good faith of Germany, and though they could scarcely
expect much from the English, he hoped that sympathy
for their suffering fellow creatures would be some induce-
ment to them to give their assistance.
Mr. Lohnis proposed that a committee of 12 gentlemen
should be formed with the chairman at its head, to
carry out the objects of the meeting. He
said the committee would be a central body,
and in communication with a committee which had
been appointed for a similar object in Germany. He
suggested the desirability of, forming local committees
for the purpose of collecting subscriptions—(hear, hear).
Mr. Lichtenstein seconded the proposition, which was
carried unanimously.

The committee having been named, it was annonuced
that up to the commencement of the meeting a sum of
about £13,000 had been subscribed. About £3,000 more
was' added at the close of the proceedings.

NEW ZEALAND AND ENGLAND.

Before the news that the English Government had
guaranteed a loan of one million to New Zealand had
reached the colony, extreme dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed there at the results which attended the
mission of Dr. Featherstone and Mr. Pillion Bell to
Earl Granville. The chief object for which they
were sent to England, namely, to impress upon the
Government the policy of granting to the colony
imperial aid, received, it was thought, not the
smallest favourable consideration. The Wan-
ganui Ch, °nick, among other papers, was
highly indignant at the sang froid with
which English Ministers adopt the laisser faire
policy, with reference to New Zealand, and it appealed
to the colonists to prepare for the ultimate result of
the conduct exhibited by England. " New Zealand,"
it said, "might as well hoist its own flag to-morrow."
Before this was done, however, the Wanganui Chroni-
cle observed, the claims of the colony, the load of debt
which the Imperial Government had caused to
hang round its neck and drag it down, must
be first removed by the parent country.
"It is morally bound," the Chronicle added, "to pay
at least a portion of the liabilities saddled upon New
Zealand by its own mismanagement." Notwith-
standing all this condemnation of the principles
which actuate the Home Government in its dealings
with the colony, the Wanganui journal admitted in
another column, on the authority of Minister Fox,
that Earl Granville had been generous in one respect
he having remitted this year as usual the annual
sum of £50,000 towards the expense of retaining a
regiment in the colony, an act which will obviate
the contemplated expenditure of £70,000 for the
raising of a colonial force.

THE LATE ADMIRAL DAHLGREN.

The United States have just lost one of their most
prominent naval officers. The name of Admiral
Dahlgren was familiar to English readers during the
great Civil War, in which be occupied a distinguished
position. Though not an old man, he had spent a
lifetime at sea, having been in the naval service con-
tinuously for forty-four years and a half,
making his first cruise as a mishipman in February
1826, and returning from the command of
the South Pacific squadron in 1868. His
public service, however, ended only with his life,
since be died while in command of the Washington
Navy Yard. He deserved public recognition of his
services, for he was one of the few officers attached
to the Washington Yard who remained staunch to
their allegiance to the Union when the war broke
out. As a tribute to his loyalty, President Lincoln
appointed him Commandant of the Yard, and very
shortly after he was appointed Chief of the Bureau
of Ordnance, an office which he held for several
years. The incident of the war, in connection with
which he was most known, was the expedition
against Charleston. Admiral Dahlgren com-
manded the naval attack, and remained with
his fleet inside the harbour bar after the
fall of Fort Sumter. During this time
a Confederate officer attempted to destroy the flag-
ship by a submarine torpedo-boat. Later on he co-
operated with Sherman in his famous march, and
moved his vessels up to Savannah on the day of the
evacuation. His inventions of naval ordnance, too,
deserve especial mention. The Dahlgren gun and
some light howitzers and field carriages were his
principal inventions and improvements.
