oisglnsoo, mere was a total woes or any or that
pushing and scrambling which, I am sorry to say,
may often be seen in Europe amongst persons who
ought to know a great deal better."
WHY BROADHEAD CAME BACK.
It was the prejudice excited against him by the
press that brought the Secretary of the Sheffield saw-
grinders' Union back to England. He could not find
work in America. He was promised assistance in several
places, but his reputation always followed him, and
his application for work resulted in disheartening
rebuffs. He speaks very bitterly of the persecution to
which he has been subjected. "Indemnity," he says,
"I have not received, and I might as well throw my
certificate in the fire for what good it has done me ! '
In a letter to the Sheffield Telegraph, he
thanks the newspapers for having stopped his
living. Mr. Broadhead seems to labour under
a misconception. Some recent allusions to him have
not been in consequence of his disclosures at the
Trade Outrage Inquiry. For a long time he was
consigned to the oblivion which he merited. But
before his departure to America the Sheffield Unionists
held a grand sympathising demonstration, in which
Broadhead was held up to admiration as an injured
but deserving individual. The later expressions of
disgust are to be attributed to this revolting display.

to tame as Adelina Patti,' tins been—presented'with
the Order of Merit by the Emperor of Russia, and
appointed first singer at Court. At St. Petersburg
she has always been a greater favourite, if possible,
than in any other European capital. On more than
one occasion she was escorted through the streets
by the Emperor himself and another member of the
Imperial house ; and when she sings at the Opera
the Russians always call her before the curtain an
extravagant number of times. No such honour as
this order of merit has been conferred on any singer
since Rubini. It is understood that the Marquise do
Caux will pay one visit to the United States, and
then retire into private life.

NEWS FROM THE PROVINCES.

M. Gambetta has issued a circular to the military
commanders urging the necessity of frequent reviews
of the troops. The generals are rendered personally
responsible for the commissariat; they are urgently
requested to adopt measures to prevent any surprise
of advanced posts, and to organise an official system
of reconnaissance.

Lyons has been provisioned for the expected siege.
A proclamation of the prefect, the municipality, the
military authorities, and the Republican Association,
express the resolution to defend the city to the
last extremity, emulating the example of Paris.
The Departments of the Rhone, Ain, Saone
and Loire, Drome, and Ardeche have been placed
in a state of siege. Advices from Nimes to the 27th
ult. state :—The town is generally agitated by the
news of the capitulation of Metz. Tumultuous crowds
invaded the Prefecture, but order was quickly
restored. Similar demonstrations took place at
Grenoble.

THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.

The London correspondent of the Birminghant Post
says the designed absence of the Duke of Argyll from the
Cabinet Council on Wednesday, left his colleagues at
liberty to discuss the question arising out of the approach-
ing marriage of his son with the Princess Louise. The
Cabinet have determined to propose to Parliament that
£6,000 a year shall be settled upon the Princess, togather
with a dower of £30,000. A suitable settlement will be
made upon the bridegroom by the Duke of Argyll. The
Marquess will be raised to a dukedom, with a seat in the
Upper House. It is said' to be her Majesty's intention to
issue a Royal ordinance, giving Prince Christian and the
Marquess of Lorne, after his elevation to a dukedom, pre-
cedence next after the Royal dukes.

THE NOVEMBER METEORS.

Considerable interest is felt at this time of the
year, even among those who are not very learned in
celestial lore, respecting the advent of the November
meteors. These brilliant annual visitors vary con-
siderably in the length of their stay, and it is by no
means certain in what parts they will be visible. In
1866 there was a splendid display though it
lasted but a few hours. Had it oc-
curred a few hours earlier, or a few
hours later, it would not have been
visible in England, because, if earlier, we should
have been on the sheltered part of the earth, and if
later the display would have occurred in our daylight.
If the November shower had been as brief in its
duration in the subsequent years it would have
puzzled our men of science to tell where it would
be visible this autumn. Since 1867, however, the
meteors, though less brilliant, have lasted much
longer ; and in 1869 stray shooting stars were seen
from the • 11th to the 15th of November.
It is, therefore, considered from these and
other observations that at intervals on the
nights of November 12th and 13th, showers
of stars will be visible in England, at some time
between midnight and dawn, which if not equal to
the brilliant coruscations of five years since, will at
least be well worth observing.

A CAUTION TO THE PEOPLE.

His Excellency von Kummer has had to give the Metz
people a caution in his own grim way. When the first of
the Prussian troops came in on the 28th, some of the
hotter-blooded civilians fell upon them with knives, and
wounded one or two, who were brought down to one of
the ambulances, where I saw their wounds dressed.
General Kummer has posted a proclamation in
forming the inhabitants that death will inevitably
be the portion of any one who lifts his hand
against a Prussian soldier, or who steals anything
from him, harbours a spy, or, does anything con-
trary to the interests of the Prussian army. At
the same time, he announces that scrupulous re-
gard will be paid to private property in the town
and vicinity, and to enforce orders patrols of gendarmes
are pacing the streets. The correspondent adds :—I may
give you the exact official number of efficients in the
besieging army-168,000. The prisoners, as I have
already stated, number 173,000. I saw a goose bought
this morning for four francs. This is a rapid tumble from
three days ago.

PROFESSOR MAX MULLER ON THE WAR.

Professor Max Muller continues his campaign in
the Times. He once more argues that it would
be subversive of the cardinal principles of public
right to allow an unprovoked war to be atoned for
by a pecuniary fine, and that Germany, after her
dearly bought victories, hab a right to the most
ample guarantees for the safety of her south-western
frontier. The Professor is anxious that it should
be understood that he objects to Germany taking any
territory by way of reprisal. He thinks her only
justification in annexing territory, is a rigid regard
for the safety of her frontier. He has such confidence
in the King and his statesmen, that if Germany is
once satisfied in this respect he fully ex-
pects a grand opportunity of raising Europe
to a higher standard of international morality
than has hitherto prevaile I will not be lost,
and the mediaeval idea of paying for defeat in
living souls will be struck out for ever from
the code of international law. The professor thinks
there would not be much difficulty about the annex-
ation of part of Alsace. They are all German by
blood, many by language, and what is most impor-
twit, lie adds, they are still German by the simplicity
and honesty of their religion. For the true patriot
there exists what he admits to be a cruel option, yet
an option which was formerly denied to conquered
provinces—emigration.

THE NEGOTIATIONS.

VERSAILLES, November 3.
M. Thiers had a long interview with Count Bis-
iarck yestezday, and is satisfied (tres content) with
hia reception. lie received lull powers to treat from
the Paris Government for an Armistice on the basis
proposed by England, and Count Bismarck has
agreed to open negotiations respecting an armis-
tice as soon as the Tours Government shall
have also authorised M. Thiers to treat; but the
proposals of England must, in any case, be clearly
aefined, and meantime the siege works go on.
Count Bismarck paid a short visit to M. Thiers last
aight at eight o'clock. There will be a renewal of
the conference to-day.
The capture of Le Bourget on the 30th was a
bloody
business. The Augusta Regiment of Guards
'°st Colonel Waldersee and twenty-nine officers
and 600 men were put hors de combat. They took
testy officers and 1,100 prisoners. Weather fine
again.

VERSAILLES, November 4, (9 a.m.)
Thiers, after a long, interview with the Chan-
cellor yesterday, expresses some hope of success—at
least, he does not despair.
Re is to see:M. Bismarck again to-day.
BERLIN, November 4 (10.55 a.m.)
Thiers is expected to make concessions.
In the last fortnight six villages near Orleans,
whose inhabitants made common cause with Franc-
-4 r„lreurs, were burnt.
tjn Tours yesterday it was considered certain that
he conclusion of the armistice was certain, and fur-
ther it was generally reported that communications
nad been received from M. Thiers stating that he was
quite satisfied as to the manner in which the nego-
tiations were proceeding, and that he was sanguine
°I Complete success.

FAILURE OF A BRADFORD HOUSE.

The failure of N. S. Louree and Company, stuff mer-
chants, of Bradford, is announced. The firm was exten-
sively concerned in the American trade, and surrendered
by the stoppage of a large dry goods house in New York.
The liabilities are estimated at £77,000, and the assets at
7s. 6d. in the pound.

MR. WALTER MORRISON, M.P., AND HIS
CONSTITUENTS.

Mr. Walter Morrison, M.P., addressing his constituents
at Plymouth, last night, strongly urged the necessity of
army reform. The whole principle of the system was
wrong. There ought to be an entire change of personnel
at the Horse Guards and at the War Office. Infantry
corps, he contended, should be kept in skeleton for expan:
sion on emergency. The militia staff should be utilised,
and a national army of civilians formed, which would
never sanction aggressive war. Mr. Morrison said he
approved of England's policy in reference to the war. He
depreciated bullying and deceiving, as Earl Russell did in
the case of Denmark. He regretted Germany's greed for
territory, but neither England nor France oould throw
stones at Prussia for annexation.

THE CORK CITY COUNCIL ON THE POLITICAL
PRISONERS AND THE POPE.
The Cork Council yesterday passed two politcal reso-
lutions. The first was moved by Mr. Riordan, a Nation-
alist, and seconded by Mr. Brast, a Conservative. It set
forth "that the time has now arrived when the Govern-
ment, without the slightest infringement of its dignity,
can release the political prisoners. Such merciful act
would be hailed as a sure guarantee of conciliatory policy.
On the ex-Mayor Sullivan rising to speak to the motion
the Council would not listen to him. But on his motion,
a resolution was afterwards adopted condemning the Ita-
lian occupation of Rome, on the ground that the rights of
his Holiness the Pope were as sacred as those of any other
sovereign, and calling upon the representatives of Cork to
protest in the House of Commons against the spoliation of
the States of the Church.

THE ALLEGED E 3 LAUGHTER OP NON-COMBATANTS.

Accounts of an affair which took place in the neigh-
bourhood of Mercy le Haut' on Monday last have, it is
understood, been transmitted to England of a tenor
calculated to give an erroneous idea of what
really occurred. Under a / flag of truce a
column of peasants came out from the vicinity
of Metz, and it is understood representations have been
made that the women and children were deliberately fired
upon by the soldiers of a regiment of the Seventh Army
Corps, under orders from a superior officer. I have been
officially requested to explain the facts of the case, and I
give them as officially communicated to me. The column
of peasants did make its appearance under a flag of
truce and in great strength. As starvation was
the weapon on which the Prussians were relying, it
would have been in the teeth of their policy to allow of
this exodus, which would pro tanto weaken this weapon.
The poor people, therefore, were ordered to fall back and
return. They disobeyed the orders, and continued to ad-
vance. The troops fell back before them in utter
bewilderment as to the means of stopping them, while a
message was sent for instrtictions. These were
to the effect that shots should be fired to intimidate the
people, care being taken to aim wide. Even this had no
effect. A male peasant was in the front with a flag of
truce in his hand, and waving on his convoy. He was
repeatedly warned of the risk he ran, but the man
appeared to be drunk, and refused to relinquish his
purpose. Hard on his heels followed a woman maddened
with drink, who also brandished a white flag, and yelled
to those behind her to come on. When all other efforts
had failed, a shot was fired at the leader, who fell
wounded, and his following then turned about and made
their return towards Metz unmolested. This lam told is
the unvarnished tale.

THE SOPER RIFLE.

A first-class award has been made to Mr. Soper, of
Reading, for his excellent direct action breechloading
rifle, at the Workman's International Exhibition,
London. The success of the breech mechanism
of the Soper rifle is commented upon by members of Par-
liament and officers in the army, who have had an oppor-
tunity of examing the arm. The excellency of the rifle
was highly praised by Sir Francis Goldsmid,
M.P., in his address to the Reading Volun-
teers on Thursday evening, and Colonel Blagrave,
the High Sheriff of Berks, also eulogised the invention.
Mr. Soper, the inventor, in returning thanks, said that he
only wished it was in his power to arm the whole of the
Berkshire volunteers with breechloaders. He spoke
favourably of the Snider Rifle, and thought it superior
to the Chassepot, which, although distinguished for length
of range, was rendered an unserviceable weapon, because
it "hung" after twenty or thirty rounds had been fired
from it ; the Snider would fire one hundred rounds with-
out any fear of the breech clogging. He took that opportu
nity, the first he had had, of publicly thanking the
Mayor, Mr. P. Spokes, for procuring him the introduc-
tion to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales on the
occasion of the late Royal visit. Since that time his rifle
had been favourably spoken of by the highest military
authorities.

ELECTION OF VICE-CHANCELLOR AT
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.
Yesterday morning the Rev. J. Power, D. D., master of
Pembroke College, Cambridge, was elected Vice-Chan-
cellor, in the room of Dr. Atkinson, Master of Clare
College. Dr. Thompson, Master of Trinity College, was
also nominated, but after a short time retired from the
contest. The new Vice-Chancellor was only appointed
Head of Pembroke College during the present year.

THE FRENCH PEASANTS.

The thankfulness with which the Frond' peasantry
receive the assistance rendered them by the agents
who disburse the fund raised in England for their
special behoof, forms a striking contrast, it is re-
ported, to the surly and ungrateful conduct of
the Germans, who, nevertheless, do not scruple to
ac„.ept the services of the Engish ambulance corps.
The ravages of the German troops have left the
peasants in a most wretched condition, and life
to them would be unendurable—indeed they would
die of starvation—were they left to their own
resources. The concurrent testimony of Lieut.-Col.
Wiggington, of the Tower Hamlets Artillery and
Mr. Eliot Howard, and others who have devoted
themselves to the task of distributing the fund,
proves that the deplorable circumstances of these
people have by no means been exaggerated. The
sum of £7,285 odd is palpably insufficient
to render substantial relief to the peasantry,
and it should bo understood that every
change in the war situation, not in the direc-
tion of peace, inflicts a greater misery upon them,
and enlarges the fieli of England's benevolent opera-
tions.

THE TRANSFER OF THE ITALIAN CAPITAL.

The question of the transfer of the capital, says
a correspondent in Rome, is becoming more and
more difficult. The great Powers have ordered
their representatives to remain and to continue
their official visits to the Vatican, to which they were
accredited. Baron von A.rnin, who, like some others'
had discharged the great part of his household, has
recalled them to his service, and is making every
preparation for permanent residence, which he would
scarcely do if he anticipated being replaced by the
Ambassador at the Court of Italy. The discontent in
Rome is very great, as the citizens apprehend that
they will not enjoy the benefit of a transfer of the
capital for many months to come, neither will the
city have the annual influx of strangers in the pre-
sent unsettled state of things. Arrangements are
being made for the future admission of visitors to
the Vatican Museum, at least to the sculpture and
picture galleries, so soon as the privacy and security
of the Pope are assured. The King's visit is again
indefinitely postponed, and the question of residence
is still unsettled. The King himself is very averse
to occupying the Quirinal, which has been from time
immemorial the summer palace of the Popes. The
purchase of the Palazzo di Venezia, the
present Austrian Embassy, is talked of, but it
is doubtful whether Austria. will part with it.
In any case the sightseeing portion of the travelling,
world are likely to be disappointed, while for de-
vout Catholics the glory of Rome has at least
temporarily departed. There . was no ceremony on
All Saints or All Souls at tho Sixtine, neither will
there be at the grand festivals of Christmas and
New Year, according to present intentions.
