METROPOLITAN ME AT MARKET.

The severe gales that have prevailed during the past
two or three days have prevented the arrival of any
Dutch or Spanish boats, and the supplies of foreign stock
on sale here to-day were accordingly limited. This is no
way to be attributed to the blockade, which so far has
exercised little or no influence upon the trade. Large
arrivals of both beasts and sheep will take place to-day and
to-morrow, and these will be available for next Thursday's
market. Meantime prices of all kinds of meat ruled ex-
ceptionally high ; but the rates current were owing to the
circumstances temporarily affecting the market. There
were moderate supplies of stock from our own grazing
districts, but the condition of the beasts was not good owing
to the scarcity of food. It was more particularly the
case with the arrivals from Lincolnshire, there
being very general complaints made by the
butchers that the beasts do not come well to the knife.
There were, however, some very excellent Scots and
Herefords s,xhibited. Owing to the scanty supplies
butchers were compelled to pay the prices demanded,
which showed an advance of 4d. per Sibs. on last Monday's
currencies, and an early clearance of all prime beef was
effected. The top quotation for choice Scots and Crosses
was 6s. per Sibs.
The sheep market was thinly supplied. Choice animals
on offer commanded an advance of 4d., the top price being
6s. per 8 lbs.

Newby, two constables of the C division, it appeared that
on the sth of last month they saw the prisoner driving a
horse attached to a brewer's dray along Piccadilly at a
furious rate, all the while standing up and severely
flogging the horse. A summons was taken out against
the prisoner, but he removed so as to avoid the service of
it, and a warrant was then applied for, and on the prisoner
going back to live at the house he had left he was taken
into custody. In reply to Mr. Knox, one of the con-
stables (Lethbridge) said the prisoner struck the horse at
least 30 times, the horse, which was drawing a large drag,
going at the time 14 miles an hour. The prisoner was com-
mitted for a month with hard labour.
WHOLESALE UTTERING OF COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Ellen
Watson and Wm. Harris (previously convicted) cohabit-
ing as man and wife, were charged at Westminster Police-
court with uttering counterfeit coin, well knowing it to be
base and counterfeit. The evidence was very concise. On
the night of Saturday, for two weeks, the two prisoners
went into a beershop in Rochester Row, kept by a Mr.
Robert Hill, and foisted off a bad half-crown ; on Saturday
night the woman again visited Mr. Hill's and tendered
another bad half-crown, same mould and date as the
other ; the police were sent for, and the woman
locked up by Sergeant White. Two other detectives
then went and apprehended the man in Peter-
street, Westminster, and on searching his room the door
was found smashed in, and the place ransacked, the sup-
position being that the friends of the prisoners had re-
moved any further traces of their guilt. Male prisoner
resisted very much on the way to the station, but was
identified by Mrs. Hill and her lodger. They denied the
charge, but it was stated that further evidence could be
given connecting them with each other by a conversation
between them in the police cells. They were remanded
for a week.

GERMAN REASONS AGAINST ANNEXATION.

The Economist considers Count Bismarck will hardly be
a true statesman if, by his own good will at all events, ho
consents to complicate the development of Germany for
generations by accepting the responsibility of a conquered
province. Prussia is fast becoming in the eyes of Europe
what Macaulay said that it was the object of Frederick
the Great to make her, all sting. Her military greatness
is as startling as it is new. She naturally excites fear and
jealousy, without any fault of her own, on all hands:
The remark you so commonly hear, and which seems
to us based on this fear and jealousy, and on this alone,
that, however bad the Emperor's. excuse for war
with Prussia, war with Prussia would have been "an
" ultimate necessity" for France, shews how deep and
common this feeling is. Well, if Germany wishes to
intensify this feeling among all the neutral powers, in-
stead of letting it wear itself out, she cannot do better
than take new and quite superfluous guarantees for her
military greatness. A Prussia ostentatiously dominating
France with great fortresses on the west side of the
Rhine would be far more formidable to the imagination
of Europe than she is even now—far more formidable,
and therefore, we believe, less strong ; for it
will be readily conceded that a disposition to
combine against her, and to oppose instead of
deferring to her wishes, would weaken her infinitely more
than a couple of fortresses, however strong, could
strengthen her. Germany is, we believe, really a pacific
Power, and she ought to desire for her own sake the
reputation of a pacific Power, though a very strong
pacific Power which can enforce her will when needful.
Admitting all that may be said for the military value of
these places, we sincerely believe that Germany would
lose real power in Europe by taking them. On every
ground, then, both internal and external, we hold that a
policy of annexation, be it only annexation of fortresses,
would be mischievous for Germany, and the considera-
tions we have advanced are not recondite but that, wo
believe, they may have a very important influence over
the mind of so cool a statesman as Count Bismarck.

A MUSIC HALL DESTROYED BY FIRE.

On Saturday at midnight the Friendly Societies' Hall,
Grimsby, some months since converted into a music hall,
was discovered to be on fire. The roof and the whole of
the interior were speedily consumed, only the walls
remaining. The performance had just concluded. No
person was injured.

On Friday night,with the wind blowing a fresh gale from
the west, the James schooner, of Harwich, from Hartlepool,
coal laden, sprung a leak, parted from her anchor ia
Yarmouth Roads, and sunk in seven fathoms. The
crew were saved by their boat.

At Bramstone, the seat of Captain Pochin, about
midnight on Friday, the keepers were attacked by
eighteen poachers. A severe fight took place. The
watcher, William Smith, and the head-keepers, Samuel
Ford, have been seriously injured in the head. The
prisoners were apprehended by the borough police, while
they were entering the town. They were brought before
the magistrate to-day and remanded.

ENGLISH SENTIMENTALITY.

The Daily News points out the sentiment which enters
into the consideration of Englishmen in deciding the right
or the wrong between France and Germany, and remarks
that Lord Bury is described as having told his
constituents to bear in mind when awarding their
sympathies that France had stood by us dur-
ing the Crimean war, while Prussia held aloof.
Now, it cannot be too strongly urged upon the
Lfinglib'h public that this present dispute is to be
judged upon its own merits, and that to take sides
in the controversy is either foolish or immoral \unless
we have some substantial reason for our championship.
Of course, there never was in the history of the world any
quarrel in which all the right was on the one side, and all
the wrong on the other. But the preponderance of right
or wrong in this present controversy is no more affected
by what Prussia did or did not do in the Crimean
war, or in the great war against the First Napoleon,
in which she fought side by side with England, than it is
by the conduct of Frederick the Great or Charles
the Fifth. There is especial reason to dread senti-
mentalism in our English judgment of foreign questions.
Nine out of every ten Englishmen who sympathised with
the Southern Confederates did so because they thought
Southerners, more especially Virginians, were fine high-
bred fellows, while the Yankees were traders and shop-
keepers of uncouth appearance and unpolished manners.
Nearly all the popular sympathy given to the Danes during
the war for Schleswig-Holstein might be traced to the
fact that their nation was little and plucky, and that the
Princess of Wales, although really no more a Dane
than Count Bismarck, was officially and poetically
regarded as a daughter of Denmark. So in the war be-
tween Austria and Prussia. It was enough for the ordi-
nary Englishman to know that Austrian officers are
polite and pleasant, while Prussians are often a little
rough ; that Vienna is a charming city to spend
a holiday in, while Berlin is rather austere and dull.
These important and appropriate considerations disposed
of his intelligent sympathies. We begin to think there is
some danger of the sentiments of the British public being
carried away in somewhat the same fashion at the
present moment.
London, England, 1870-09-12

PROBABILITY OF PEACE.

The Daily Telegraph remarks that desperate as the
situation is, stern and determined as the Prussian ad-
vance continues, public opinion has not yet given up
hopes of peace. Reports are rife of negotiation towards
that most desirable issue. We are told, with
more or less plausibility, of efforts on the part of
certain neutral Powers, and it is yet possible,
whether probable or not, that the dreadful
necessity of besieging Paris may be averted. Perhaps the
most promising sign of all is the changed tone of the
Parisian journals. During the last few days they
have silently recognised the truth of the situation, by
substituting discussions upon the question of a
settlement for those wild and foolish manifestoes of
"no surrender " which gave the best friends of France
so much apprehension. This has resulted from two
causes—one, the better perception of the overwhelming
military calamity sustained at Sedan ; and the other, the
wise desire to save the new Republic from the terrible ne-
cessity of prosecuting an almost hopeless struggle. It is
now known that war records no single catastrophe of
arms which can be compared for overwhelming dimen-
sions with the capitulation of MacMahon. The wounded
Marshal himself is reported to have pronounced it "an
immense disaster, fatal to the arms of France ;" and
every fresh detail ccrnfirms that view. We are now in.
formed officially, that the number of prisoners surren-
dered at Sedan was 83,000, including 4,000 officers ;
which, with 25,000 captured in the battles and 14,000
wounded, gives the extraordinary total of 122,000
men fallen into the hands of the King. The conqueror
also took 70 mitrailleuses, 330 field pieces, and 150 sieg9
guns, 10,000 horses, and a vast quantity of war material.
No nation can recover from a blow like this without a
long interval ; and the French must also be prepared tq
learn, at any moment, that Bazaine has surrendered, and
that Strasburg has fallen.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AT MANCHESTER.

A man named John Peacock, just returned to England
after many years' residence in California, went to lodge
at Austin's lodging house, in Shepley-street, London-road,
Manchester, where a licensed victualler named John
Plant, landlord of the Stag Inn, Stafford-street, Derby,
was already lodging. At one o'clock yesterday morning
Mrs. Austin heard the report of &earths, and sought the
police, who, when they arrived at the house found Plant
lying near Peacock's bedroom severely wounded. It tran-
spired that Peacock, who had in his possession 10,500
dollars in paper, and £9O in gold, wrapped round
his body, had fastened his room door when Plant, by some
mistake it is supposed, under the influence of drink, burst
it open, and Peacock, who states that he usually sleeps
with a revolver under his pillow, and who also had in
his possession a dagger, fired at him, the ball passing
through the man's arm, and then glancing
to the body. Plant was taken to the Infir-
mary, and is in such a state that a magistrate was
sent for, who took his deposition. Peacock was taken
into custody, and from his behaviour it is believed that he
is labouring under some hallucination.

PARIS AND FRANCE.

No, says the John Bull, it is not the Emperor that
made this war ; it is Paris, and Paris only ; and, alas,
Paris, it is too likely, will pay the penalty. Beautiful
Paris ! How terrible a thought ! Bombarded, fired, laid
low, with all it palaces and towers, or at least the de-
spoiled and ruined for long, long years to come. But again
and again within the last four years the Emperor
has prevented war. This is certain. This is acknow-
ledged by all who have the slightest acquaint-
ance with the real internal history of France.
Unhappy France I we feel thy sorrows as our own, and we
confess also that thy bitter internal foes, the Gambettas
and his democratic crew, might become perilous to us
and to the whole civilised world. These men entertain
schemes of uttermost destruction. Their emissaries are
capable of firing every city of the modern world, in the
mad desire of vengeance for the self-inflicted woes of
Paris. Let us be on our guard then against the worst.
Let us, on the other hand, not flight against necessity, but
let us rather yield honour where honour is due, honour to
the valour. of France, and honour to the valour of Prussia
and of Germany, and submission to the unalterable
decrees of Providence, which will accomplish its own
chosen end, whatever be the crimes or follies or unhappy
weaknesses of its creatures.

LONGINGS FOB PEACE.

A strong belief exists that after all Paris will
escape the horrors of a siege by a timely interven-
tion of the neutral Powers. The diplomatic circular
of M. Jules Favre indubitably expressed an ardent
desire• for' peace conditionally, that Prussia should
not; prosecute her avowed design of annexation of
French territory. For a naticn or the Government
of a nation, whose military system has been
broken, such a condition to impose upon the conqueror
is preposterous, and M. Jules Favre could not, we
think, have seriously entertained the belief that the
Prussians would catch at the offer of peace. Had
France won she would not have scrupled to aggran-
dise herself by a territorial extension, and Prussia
doubtless, will give her tit for tat. It is well known
notwithstanding all the talking in Paris to the con-
trary, that there is a large class who- are not pre-
pared to see the beautiful city made desolate
by a Prussian bombardment, and, according to what
appears to Le trustworthy information, the repre-
sentatives of the neutral powers have bad a confe-
r rence, and agreed upon the basis of peace. The
' scheme, it is said, will be submitted to the King of
Prussia. The indifference of the English Govern-
ment to the issue of the struggle is much marvelled
at. It may be that the friendly powers may induce
the Prussian King to accept less humiliating terms
on the part of France than the annexation of Alsace
and Lorraine, and agree to the demolition of the
fortresses of Strasburg and Metz, which will afford
Germany more security against the ambitious de-
signs of France than would an occupation of terri-
tory by a great military force. A writer in the Pall
Mall Gazette, after commenting upon the war, ex-
claims :—" And this is what European civilization of ,
the present day has tamely suffered to take place;
and England, blessed for centuries, es no other
nation has been blessed with wealth, honour, know-
ledge, and all that should have given her almost
boundless power to sway the destinies of that world
of which she was once the Queen, is powerless to pre-
vent this slaughter, and has confined her action to
merely scraping small quantities of lint and con-
tributing a few rags for the use of the wounded."

LETTER FROM MARSHAL MACMAHON.

Marshal MacMahon, who has been residing at Pouru-
aux-Bois, near Bouillon, at the chateau of the Mayor, has
sent to the Organe of Namur the following interesting
note :—" Marshal MacMahon was wounded on the lit of
September, at six in the morning, at the very commence-
ment of the last battle, in which he held no command. It was
by order of the Minister of War, Comte de Palikao, and
of the Committee of Defence that he executed the march
which proved so fatal to the arms of France. This is
what infallibly happens when people take upon them to
direct the movements of distant armies from the closet.
In these circumstances one can draw up a general plan,
but one cannot descend to details ; and this is what Gen,
Cousin de Montauban forgot. Marshal MacMahon's in-
tention was to fall back on Paris, after having reorganised
the army so unfortunately undone at Sedan. He was not
permitted to accomplish his wise project. As soon as the
state of his health will permit Marshal MacMahon will
not fail to publish proofs that he cannot be considered re-
sponsible for the immense disaster, at Sedan. Between a
vretorious army and the frontier of a neutral nation thaw)
was no escape if aft accident occurred."
London, England, 1870-09-12

THE REPUBLIC AND THE LATIN NATIONALITIES.

The Times, comments on the reply of M. Jules Favre
to the Spanish Minister, that " the wisdom
was clearly manifested which would join in one
single tie three nations that really form but one
family, and awaited only the signal of liberty to
recover their family titles." The Times says these un-
necessary remarks seem full of imprudence. It is in the
highest degree impolitic at the present juncture to draw a
line of distinction between the Latin and the Teutonic
nations, and the Foreign Minister of France should, above
all, be anxious not to place himself in antagonism to all of
German descent. To array people against people is an
offence against civilisation, and the Provisional Govern-
ment had expressly disclaimed animosity against the
German nation when they attempted to fasten the dis-
credit of the war on the dethroned Emperor.
It is not less imprudent to suggest that "the
signal of liberty" is waited for either in Spain
or in Italy. The destinies of Spain are entirely under
the control of the Cortes, freely elected by the people,
and Italy enjoys perfect self-government under a Parlia-
mentary Constitution. The propagandism of the
First Republic raised up enemies, who oontributed
with internal causes to work its downfall ; it is
probable that if the Third Republic should attempt
to impress its principles on foreign communities,
England, at all events, would not be moved by it; but it
is dangerous to excite nations less firmly settled, and un-
wise to suggest changes to others before anything is com-
pleted at home.

THE SIEGE OF STRASBURG.
BERLIN, SATURDAY, 6.45 p.m.

A Frankfort journal reports that a regiment be-
longing to the garrison of Strasburg marched
out of the fortress on Sunday, and laid down their
arms, stating that they were not bound by the
military oaths to the Emperor.
PROSPECTS OF PEACE.

Four Powers have already recognised the French
Republic, the United States, Switzerland, Italy, and
Spain. A despatch from Prague says that the
United States have done more. They have en-
treated the Prussian Government to cease a war,
which has no longer an object since Ming William
and the Crown Prince have openly said they do not
make war on the French Government. The W ash-
ington Cabinet went so far as to say thit it could
not remain indifferent to the effusion of blood in a
country whose Constitution resembled their own.
This news, says the despatch, has produced im-
mense excitement in diplomatic circles. Belgium,
says the Constitutionnel, is about to recognise the
new French Government officially.
The Times:publishes the following telegram fromits
correspondent at Philadelphia:—;‘ At Washington on
Friday a Cabinet meeting, at which the President
was present, was held to consider a despatch
from Mr. Bancroft, the Minister at Berlin,
relative to American intervention. Mr. Bancroft
was advised that, while the United States, to
avoid all appearance of a desire to intervene in
European affairs, cannot act thus in con-
nexion with other nations, yet if their
good offices were requested by , the bellige-
rents the United States will be happy to give
them to aid in securing peace between Powers with
which we have traditional friendship.
A. correspondent telegraphs to the Daily News from
Paris :—" Since the overtures which were made by
Austria to obtain from Prussia an armistice upon the
basis of territorial integrity, it is understood that
Russia has offered her services to the French Govern-
ment, and that at present she is taking aotive steps
in the interests of peace."

MILK BOBBING.

A. man named Warren has been sentenced at the
Thames police-court to four months' imprisonment,
accompanied with hard labour, for stealing milk. It
seems that the accused, who was a journeyman
milk vendor, had been discovered defrauding his
master' of on one occasion two gallons of milk, and
on another occasion six quarts. The mode he
adopted to avoid detection was that which according
to his own confession appears to be a very
common one amongst his, class. He did what is
familiarly designated as bobbing the milk, that is to
say whenever he appropriated the milk for his own
purposes, he substituted a quantity of water. The
people of the Metropolis may well complain about
the milk being adulterated, and it would be only
even-handed justice to mete out the same punish-
ment to the master when guilty of bobbing, as is
inflicted upon the employed. Doubtless in the
first instance the article would be well
watered, but what proportion of milk

can there be left when a pail undergoes a second
course of " bobbing ?" An investigation into the
composition of the article sold, and paid for as milk
might lead to interesting results.

LIGHT CAVALRY.

The Franco-Prussian war is prolific of useful les-
sons to our military authorities, and it is to be hoped
they will not be disregarded, as unworthy of official
notice. One thing it seems clearly to have demon-
strated, and that is the superiority of the light as com-
pared with the heavy cavalry. The Uhians afford a
convincing proof that-alight man on a well-bred horse
is capable of performing greater feats.than a heavy
man riding a heavily clad horse. It is said that the
Uhians can on a pinch accomplish a distance of
fifty miles a day, and certainly when we read of their
übiquity, the miles and miles they scour the country
in advance of the main forces, together with their
daring achievements, there seems no reason to doubt
that such is the case. Thus the argument advanced
with great confidence short time ago, that the light
cavalry would prove superior to the heavy, assuming
numerical equality, discussed in view of the -ex-
periences of the present war, would appear to be
capable of refutation. Mr. Edmund Tattersall takes
this view of the subject, and expresses his belief
that such a charge as that supposed would hardly
ever occur, but if it did he is of opinion that the light
man on a well-bred horse, ridden at speed, would be
capable of more work than the heavy man on a
heavy horse riding at trot. Says Mr. Tattersall, we
have plenty of light-weighted men ; but in this
country, where we have the best horses in the
world, we either have not the requisite supply of
horses, or the Government will not buy them. If we
have not the horses, we must manufacture them ; but
private individuals will not do so unless it pays. Then
it is the duty of the Government to step in and do as
Prussia, France, and Austria have done. Those
countries have purchased their means of manufac-
turing their cavalry horses from us, and now we
need them.

ZADICIEL AND NAPOLEON.

Some days since the discovery was made that the
downfall of Napoleon the Third, through the instru-
mentality of the King of Prussia, had been pre-
viously arranged for and prefigured in Old Moore's
Almanac for 1870. We were inclined, however, to
give all the credit of the prophecy to the represen-
tatives of Moore, but we now find that
we did wrong, for turning back to the predictions
in Zadkiel's Almanack for the year 1853
we find the following paragraph in reference to the
Emperor Napoleon's prosperity then at its height in

France. "Let him not dream of lasting honours,
powers, or prosperity. He shall found no dynasty,
shall wear no durable crown ; but in the midst of
deeds of blood and slaughter, with affrighted Europe
trembling beneath the weight of his daring martial
hosts, he shall desund beneath the heavy hand of
fate, and fall to rise no more, with none to mourn
him, none to inherit his renown, none to record his
good deeds, and none to lament his destruction." It
is worth while considering whether it would not be
well for our Government to purchase the goodwill of
all the almanacs likely to be issued at Christmas
next. There is no knowing, what in the political
world is in store for us, if we once are prophesied
about.

THE WAR AND THE TELEGRAPHS.

The Economist remarks upon the
,singular delay
which has been noticeable during the war in the
transmission of important news, and especially of
the events at Sedan. The battle was over between
five and six in the afternoon of the Ist, and its fin-

mediate result a matter of certainty. The scene of
these events was within an easy hour's ride of a
neutral frontier. A. telegraph station could not be
far off, and there were certainly railway stations
within three or four hours' ride of Sedan,
which is. itself not twenty hours' actual travelling
from London. What actually. happened was that
all Friday, in London at least, nothing was known
of the issue of the Sedan battle but what was
contained in the King's telegram, which did not
reach London till midday on Friday, and which
merely intimated that a victorious battle was pro-
gressing, without stating positively that MacMahon
was all bat completely enclosed in Sedan. Even
the final surrender though completed at- mid-
day on Friday, was net telegraphed to
London till late on Saturday morning, and
the detailed account was not published
for forty-eight hours later. The failure of the
ordinary obannels of information, notwithstanding
all the appliances of telegraph and post, could
hardly be more conspicuous. The Economist
explains it by every one taking for granted that the
official telegrams from the royal headquarters would
be first, whereas the field telegraph has not worked
well in this war owing to the distances to which it
was carried. No one seems to have thought of the
marvellous opportunity for despaching speedy
information through Belgium.

NAVAL AND MILITA RY.

It is stated that the Sultan, 12, iron armour-plated ship,
now lying in the Medway off the dockyard at Chatham,
will be removed to Portsmouth for final completion on the
16th of November. A very large body of men are em-
ployed upon her at Chatham in getting her as forward as
possible before she leaves. The vessel will be almost a
turret-ship as well as a broadside one
A member of the London Court of Common Council
has given notice of his intention to propose next Thursday
that £250 be contributed by the Corporation towards the
fund in aid of the widows and orphans of the men who
perished in the Captain. A committee of the Royal
Naval Female School, Twickenham, has resolved to
admit to the benefits of the Institution (so far as the
rules and space will allow) the daughters of officers in the
Captain.
The guns already converted on Major Palliser's prin-
ciple having passed the proof without rejection, the
gun factories at Woolwich are proceeding with other
orders for similar conversions, and further orders are ex-
pected.

The building of iron vessels for lake and river
navigation in the United States is making progress,
though under some difficulties, owing to the competition
of the railroads, which are now carrying the bulk of the
inland freight. Cincinnati, however, and Buffalo also,
are constructing iron craft, the first for the Ohio, and the
second for the lake and river navigation; and it is said
the boats will do much more than pay their way.

A. Prussian correspondent writes to the Lancet as
follows : As regards the general character of the wounds,
it may be said that those inflicted by the French balls, are
vastly more dangerous than those of our own. The ball of
the needle-guu being long and conical-shaped, tends to
separate the tissues, and the wound in consequence
shews a better tendency to heal- The chassepot
bullets, being round-shaped, tear the tissues, and,
being driven by a great mass of powder, they
break and crack the bones in their path. The
same is the effect of the mitrailleuse, and an enormous
amount of serious wounds is caused by the French tactics
of greeting the enemy with a hailstorm of lead. The spots
of ground from which the French fired are at once known
by their being covered with cartridges. Our army, composed
of Hessian, Saxon, and Prussian regiments, lost on the
18th of August, 20,000 in killed and wounded, and the
French are said to have lost 10,000 men ; so that this mur-
derous battle involved a loss of 30,000 men.

M. FAVRE'S MISSION,

The Manchester Examiner, commenting on M. Favre's
mission to the Prussian headquarters, says :—Comparing
Count Bismarck's absolute refutation of the idea of an
armistice at the first interview with the exceedingly
moderate terms upon which he was willing to grant it on
the second, it seems probable that he had taken counsel
during the interval with minds more pacifically disposed,
and it is certain that for the terms he at last suggested
he had the sanction of the King. The conditions were
peremptorily declined` by the Provisional Government,
the leading consideration no doubt being that the terms
of peace which would have to be considered were abso-
lutely inadmissible, or not to be entertained till France
had tried and lost her last desperate chance that remained
open to her.
