THE BOMBARDMENT.

Saturday's Provincial Correspondence of Berlin en-
deavours to calm the impatience of the German people at
the delay in inflicting upon Paris the horrors of a bombard-
ment. Quoting the remark of the Staats Anzeiger "that
all the preparations for the attack have meanwhile so far
advanced that only the King's order is required for it to
begin," it says, "it may be added that that order will
certainly be given at the moment when it appears justi-
fied by all the circumstances which have to be considered,
especially those relating to the internal condition of
Paris." In judging of the proceedings before Paris
it should never be forgotten that military considerations
alone are not paramount, but that many others not ap-
parent to distant lookers-on are an important element.
There is certainly at the German Headquarters no put-
poseless forbearance towards the Parisians at the cost of
our brave soldiers. The relatives and friends of the latter
may, therefore, allay their impatience, and rest assured
that that remarkable prudence and wisdom, &c. The
correspondent of the Daily News, on the other hand, says
that no bombardment will be attempted, as the place can
be starved. Other writers, and they quote reasonable
figures in support of their view, urge that the Germans
have at their command no means of effectively bombard-
ing so large an area. They can do nothing more than
starve Paris.

THE TREATY OP PARIS.

It is yet early to speculate on the exact nature of
the attitude assumed by Russia in respect of the Paris
Treaty, but it is quite certain that the old Eastern
Question is in the "reopened" condition.. The
intelligence, so far as it goes, looks serious. The
demands which Russia may put forth may refer to
Articles XL and .XIII. By the first .of these the
Black Sea is declared open to all mercantile shipping
and closed to all vessels of war. By the second
Russia and Turkey engage not to maintain any
marine arsenal upon the shores 'of the
Sea. By conventions signed on the 30th
of March, 1856, and annexed to the treaty
the Sultan bound himself so long as he remained at
peace to admit no ship of war of any foreign Power.
to enter thcj Straits of the Dardanelles and the
Bo•phorous, thus closing the egress from t e Black
Sea to the Russian fleet; while Russia engaged
not to maintain in the Black Sea more than six
war steamships of 800 tons at the maximum, and
tour light steamers of war not exceeding 200 tons
each.

If the important statement in the Yorkshire Post
be correct, Russia must indeed be fully committed
to the revision or violation of the treaty. According
to that statement,Russia has formally announced to the
British Government that she will be no longer bound
by the provisions of 1856. She must, in taking this
step have suroly reckoned upon the hostility of Austria.
This Power *as well nigh joining the allies in the
Crimean war, and the inducements for her to resist
Russian aggression now are much stronger. In 1854
Austria, was the leading German State, and cared
little comparatively for the questions which then led
to war. Now she is scarcely a German State at all,
and her Danubian interests are paramount.
London, England, 1870-11-15

THE ARMY OF PARIS.

It appears certain that the available defensive forces in
Paris are much larger than has been generally believed.
The Plebiscite announced a vote of 245,000 Linesmen
and Mobiles, when the universally-accepted estimate put
the two down at more than 160,000. The able "Besieged
Resident" who contributes to the Daily News observes ;
" At this moment there are three armies within our walls.
Instead of 90,000 Mobiles we have 120,000. Instead of
60,000 troops of the Line of all arms we have 121,000.
The vote of last Wednesday has established this fact,
known to the authorities from the first, but concealed to
deceive the Prussians as to the actual available force
within. These troops will fight well. They have been
tried. Trochu has the highest opinion of the Mobiles.
Besides these 121,000 men, we have now quite 3 00,000
National Guards, of whom at least one-third are armed
with the Chassepot, another third with the transformed
breech-loader, or fusil a tabatiere, and the remainder with
the percussion musket. As the prospect of serious
business draws nearer, more energetic measures are being
adopted to increase the number of men for active service.
The whole of the National Guard is now to be mobilised,
and the class of young men liable to the conscription—the
class of 1870—is now called out. It is, in point of fact,
the levy en masse, so far as Paris is concerned, and so far
as she can influence the provinces."
London, England, 1870-11-15

THE PROSPECTS OF PARIS.

Everything considered, the Times says, it is evident
! that the proposal of an armistice came too late to avert
the catastrophe which alone '.
can
terminate the war
Within, perhaps, something !ess than twenty-eight days
Paris must either be relieved or fall, and :all by that
weapon which Count Bismarck was expected
voluntarily to lay aside. Famine is Bismarck's
sword, sure of execution, unless it be broken
either by a victorious sally from the capital itself,
or by a strenuous and simultaneous onset of the armies
of the provinces. Till Aurelles de Paladine gave tan-
gible evidence of the existence in France of such
armies, there was nothing to encoura,,e the hope that
Paris could be spared the fate that stares her in the
face. But the mere fact that a French army has taken
the field and maintains it has done away with all impossi-
bilities. We know not of what exertions Aurelles himself
and the other commanders in the East, North, and West,
and, above all others, Trochu may be capable. The only
thing against them is time. Every day, as we write,
necessarily modifies our reckoning of the resources of
Paris. Trochu's Mobiles may daily gaits strength and
confidence. There may be constant improvement in their
arms and equipments ; additions may be assiduously made
to the array of cannon, to the line of fortifications ;
but all this will not stave off the gaunt enemy.
The pounds of meat, the loaves of bread are num-
bered. Paris, and with her France, must either
fight or make Peace, and the alternative can
hardly be prolonged beyond three or four weeks.
It is an ill-omened clemency, we believe, which
prompts the Prussians to put off from day to day,
and possibly altogether to give up, the bombardment of
Paris. They have evidently full confidence that hunger
is rapidly and inexorably doing the work for them. Yet
Count Bismarck himself has told us that of all the evils
Paris might perish of starvation would be the most dreadfuL
Is it, indeed, so difficult to turn the serious attention of
the French Government to this fact ? Is there no chance
of a proposal, not of an armistice, but of peace, before
Pads is starved into submission ?

RAILWAY COLLISION.

The 3.20 train from St. Pancras station to the north
met with an accident yesterday afternoon, near Finedon
station, on the Midland Railway. A bullock crossing the
line caused the engine to swerve off the metals. The
permanent way was much damaged, and considerable
delay caused'in the traffic.

THE DEAN OF EXETER ON THE RELATION
OF SCIENCE TO THE BIBLE.

The Dean of Exeter speaking at a meeting at Exeter
last night contended that there was no antagonism
between true science and revelation. Science properly
so called, was deeply reverential. The true philosopher
should respect the Bible, and while trying to meet its
arguments ought not to sneer at its statements or attempt
by ridicule to defile its sacred pages.

MR. GLADSTONE AS PRIME MINISTER.

The Tablet, referring to 'the article in the Edinburgh
Review, reputed to be by the Prime Minister, says :—" If
this article on "France, Germany, and England " really
be from the pen of Mr. Gladstone, if he cannot disown
some at least of its sentiments, Catholics will begin to
ask themselves, what is the meaning of this states-
man's reputation for high moral integrity, and a
pervading sense of right and justice. Can we trust this
leader, or count upon him ? Th.y will say—Only give this
man time to develop his principles, and he will lead the
country into revolution and anarchy. Give him years,
and he will end as a Red Revolutionist, since even now
expediency, popular _favour, and public opinion guide and
appear even to formlais principles and conduct."

CALL FROM CHURCH TO CAPTURE HOUSE-

BREAKERS.

At the,Newton Abbot sessions yesterday, two rough
fellows, who gave their names as Adams and Ellis, were
brought up, charged with breaking into the house of Mr.
Wale, a gentleman residing at Kingskerswell. The
prisoners entered the house through the dining-room
window, on Sunday afternoon, whilst the inmates were
at church. A Mr. Sock saw them enter, and instantly
called Mr. Wale and others out (If church. On their
entering the house the prisoners jumped out of an up-
stairs window. Adams was caught by Mr. Wale, but
that gentleman was instantly knocked clown with a life
preserver. A man named Dart came with a poker,
but he was also knocked down, and the prisoners then
decamped. In their way out of the village they were in-
terrupted by one or two other persons, who were also
disposed of by the life preserver. The village, however,
became alarmed, and scores of persons pursued the pri-
soners ; but only one or two were able to approach them
as the burglars threatened to knock them down. The
men were, however, afterwards captured. Mr. Wale
being too ill to attend the court yesterday, they were re-
manded until Friday.

THE ECLIPSE EXPEDITION.

At length the eclipse-expeditions have received promise
of State assistance. Originally the Chancellor of the Ex•
chequer had been asked for a thousand pounds. On the
converse of the principle, bis dat qui cite) dat, the Govern-
ment having granted tardily, gives twice the sum
demanded. Two thousand pounds and the means
of transport to Spain and Sicily may have an insigni-
ficant sound beside the six thousand pounds and the
means of transport across the Atlantic granted by
the American Government, but, after all, it is something.
Indeed, if the truth must be spoken, our Government is
very little to blame in the matter. Every excuse for
even the bluntest refusal has been afforded them.
The application for assistance was sent in far
too late ; it was directed to the wrong depart-
ment ; the long delay which ensued led to n 1
further action ; and only at the latest moment did the
indignation of the scientific public rouse the leaders of
science to a sense of their position. Even now that the
money has been granted, and that the sixty-eight volun-
teers are being reminded of their promises, there is great
risk—most imminent risk—that the whole business will
end in a dismal fiasco. Not one of the four classes into
which the expeditions have been divided has as yet been
organised. Not a single observer knows as yet what
instrument he will have to use or what he will be called
upon to do. -To the private munificence of afsingle enthu-
siast we owe the certainty that an attempt will be made to
photograph the eclipsed sun ; but even in this case the
selection of assistants and other details have been as yet
altogether neglected. While there is still time, our
scientific leaders must really rouse themselves. The
credit of scientific England is at stake. Our
American fellow-workers in science are here amongst
us, observing our mode of action, prepared to
learn from our longer experience, but also sharp-
eyed to detect the signs of effeteness in the
science of the mother country. This is not the time for
scientific fogeydom to be allowed full swing. We must
not let the whole world laugh at us. Yet it will laugh if,
at the latest moment, when men ask what has been done
to organise our observing parties, all that the organising
committee can do is to exhibit a list of names. Let the
matter be rightly understood. At the present moment,
though the eclipse is little more than six weeks off, and'
though organisation is most urgently needed little has been
done save to print a classified list of the volunteers.

CLERICAL INFLUENCE ON THE WAR:

The same correspondent observes:—Such as of late have
conversed with Louis Napoleon are almost unanimous
in stating it as their conviction that he speaks the truth
in asserting, as he has done to King William, as well
as to many others, that he was forced into the
war against his own wish and better know-
ledge. Quite recently I have heard an explanation
of his conduct which comes from a person worthy of at-
tention. He ascribes the war to the machinations of the
party that was dominant in the (Ecumenical Council, and
chiefly to the scheming of Father Rothan, whose orders
the clergy and the religious orders in France are wont to
obey in political matters. The destruction of Prussian
ascendancy in Germany had been made the condi-
tion of the further support of the Empire by the
Church. The war for this purpose was to take place
while the (Ecumenical Council was sitting, and the
(Ecumenical Council was summoned for no other purpose
than to be sitting during the war. The Catholic popula-
tion in Germany was reckoned upon and represented to
the ignorant statesmen of the Empire as the most im-
portant and reliable ally of France in the war. And it is
quite true that in Germany, as well as in France, nobody
fanned the flame of hatred against Prussia among
the masses with greater zeal and assiduity than the Catho-
lic priesthood. Of the Bonapartist clique Louis Napoleon
alone had his doubts, but everybody around him sneered
at theni, and his friends began to treat him as a coward.
The negative votes of so many soldiers at the
Pldbiscite came in aid of the view's of those who
were clamouring for war. The failure of the attempts
to put the Empire right with the Liberals in France, and
to gain the alliance of Prussia, finally made him consider
the Empire as lost if he did not throw himself again into
the arms of the Church. But it was an act of sheer
despair, for he, far better than other Frenchmen,
knew something of the terrible danger which France in-
curred in challenging the citizen soldiers of Prussia; and
he had always looked at Count Bismarck, whose mental
superiority he silently acknowledged, as the cobra looks
at the snake.

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.)

THE COLSTON PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.
Last night, in accordance with annual custom, four ban-
quets were given in Bristol in celebration of the charity
of the late Edward Colston, of that city. Two of them
were non-political, and of only local interest. The other
two, at the Anchor and Dolphin, were strictly political.
At the Dolphin dinner, Sir George Jenkinson, M.P., was
the principal speaker. He regretted that the Education,
the Irish Church, and the Irish Land Bills had passed the
Houses of Lords and Commons, and bad now become
part of the law of the land. The Conservatives had used
every exertion to mitigate the numerous evils which the
measures in question contained. Looking abroad upon
the country, he saw the signs of a strong Conservative
reaction, and anticipated the dawn of better times for the
party to which he belonged. He anticipated that this
country would experience considerable difficulties in con-
nection with Russia and China, and heartily condemned
the Government for the unsatisfactory condition of Eng-
land's armaments. Mr. Richard Bright, M.P.
for East Somersetshire, also spoke at this
dinner. At the Anchor banquet the city mem-
bers, Messrs. Morley and Hodgson, Mr. Crawford,
one of the members for the City of London, and Mr.
Henry Richard, M.P. for Meithyr Tydvil, were amongst
the speakers. The last named honourable member to king
occasion to refer to the war, said he placed so much cunfi-
dence in the Government that he was persuaded England
would be prepared for any emergency that might arise.
Mr. Morley also gave expression to his confidence in Mr.
Gladstone and his Cabinet. The Education Bill he looked
upon as a step in the right direction, and trusted that the
abolition of University Tests would soon follow. Mr.
Hodgson urged his objections to the adoption of the Ger-
man military system in this country.

A NOVEL SEIZURE.

The sheriffs of Clare and Galway have instituted
a new method of seizing property for debt, which
canno t but make the general travelling public at
least uneasy. Who can tell henceforth
whether they can ever reach their journey's
end by train after the stoppage of the engine and
carriages on the Athenry and Ennis line on Saturday
It would seem that the proprietary company were
debtors for a sum of £3,500 to Mr. William Munro,
the constructor of the line. The arrested train was
carrying the mails, and the forwarding of the letter
bags by other conveyances to Ennis, from the station
where the train was stopped, c fused a delay it is
alleged of five hours. The whole business, if not
positively illegal, reflects discreditably on the pro-
moters of the seizure. Why the train could not have
been appropriated at either of the termini of the rail-
way, or why passengers should be made to suffer for
a debt owed by a company over whose lines they
were travelling, and with which debt they had no
connection whatever, are questions that the managers
of the London City Bank who sued on behalf of Mr.
M unro ought to explain.

tions. It appears that the Government are un-
derstood to have proposed a Congress for the dis-
cussion of an armistice, and at the same time for
entertaining the question of a . revision of the
Treaty of 1856, and the assumption is that it was
owing ;to this proposition not having been accepted
that Russia, in tendering her good offices between
France and Prussia, preferred to act singly instead
of in concert with other Powers.

THE CORK RIOTS.

The Mayor and magistrates of Cork had a long con-
ference yesterday with Colonel Patterson, 72nd High-
landers, in reference to the rioting which took place in the
city. The Highlanders have declared that they will take
the first opportunity of avenging the death of private
Gibson, and that they will not be satisfied until they
have killed twenty civilians. The result of the conference
is that the soldiers are to be confined within barracks
until the ill-feeling at present prevailing has
subsided. Military patrols will be stationed outside
the barracks to prevent any of the soldiers getting
out, and strong police patrols will be employed to prevent
mobs assembling near the barracks. It is understood the
Highlanders will shortly leave for India. It is said that
the soldiers on Sunday night walked from the barracks in
military order, and acted under the direction of leaders,
who gave them regular orders. The police have informa-
tion that Gibson, whose death was the cause of the riot,
was seen to attack two rowdies on the military road on
Sunday night, and in this encounter it was that he sus-
tained the injuries of which he died.

The nomination of candidates for election on the Liver-
pool School Board closed last evening. No fewer than
seventy-six persons have been put forward for fifteen
seats.

Two gamekeepers in the employ of the Earl of
Aylesbury have been so beaten by poachers that their
lives are despaired of. A ferocious dog kept by the
watchers attacked one of them— apparently mistaking
him for a poacher—and dreadfully lacerated his face.

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 tie
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

M. lILTGO rPON IRELAND.

M. Victor Hugo has raised his voice for
Ireland. Always revolutionary, he now proclaims him-
self the father of revolutionists, and he sends to the
seditious Irishman a letter, assuring the editor that
he agrees with. him. The note—or the translation
given by the Irishman—is not very clear. "
have already," says the French poet, " raised my
voice for Ireland, and I shall raise it again.
I was thinking of Ireland when I said, a few
weeks ago, those words which irritated the Tory
press One people has not the right to own
another people. You arc right to call me Homo.
Yes, man profoundly is. All who suffer seem to me
my family. Old, I feel myself a father. England
defends Poland and oppresses Ireland. Never was
stranger contradiction. Doubt not, sir, Ireland will
triumph. England will be recalled to logic and to
truth. The consciousness of mankind makes itself
felt, Count on the little I can do. and believe my
fraternal cordiality." How England can be said to
own Ireland; what" man profoundly is" means; why
M. Hugo should be called the father of sufferers; and
the way the "consciousness of mankind" is to "recall"

The decision of the Presbyterian Assembly in
favour of commutation seems to have given
universal satisfaction in Ulster. It is not likely,
according to the leading organs of the Church, that the
threatened refusal of a minority to acquiesce in the
decision will lead to any serious results ; whilst
it is well known that had the Assembly come to
any other " conclusion, a feud between the laity
and the ministry would have been caused in
many districts. The Northern Whig is warm in
its satisfaction. "The most gratifying feature of the
proceedings was the conduct of the poorer country
clergy. So far from being opposed to commutation,
or ready to declare that they had distinct and oppo-
site interests to the laity, it was found that it was
among those less wealthy brethren in rural districts
that the most disinterested and generous spirit was
shewn."

At Valparaiso disposable tonnage continued in-
creasing ; no orders for guano charters were in the
market, and little nitrate of copper was for ship-
ment. The Santano had put in with a part of her
cargo of coals on fire.
Two more fires had occurred !at Santiago ; the
losses amount to poo,ooo.
The Peruvian Government had accepted tenders
for two more railways. The ships chartered by
Messrs. Schute and Co. for Germany have been
transferring to Messrs. Dreyfuss Brothers, by
whom bills of lading are to be signed.
The Star of Brunswick and Prince Rupert have
been detained for overloading, and 'mulcted by the
Peruvian Judicial Tribunals in over £6,000 for

ROYAL MUSIC HALL, HOLBORN.

Last evening one of the largest, and, we may say,
one of the best bands of negro minstrels made their
appearance at this favourite place of amusement
with great success. The Great American slave
troupe consists of 26 performers, each one of whom
has some special peculiarity. The first part of the
new entertainment consisted of a very pretty selec-
tion of harmonized ballads by the company, and
amongst the many gems of melody we may
particularize " Belle Mahone," by Mr. Cross,
as an effusion of the utmost sweetness. " Dear
mother" was another most expressive ditty, and was
excellently sung by Beaumont Reed ; and in the
humorous portion of the concert Mr. Johnson was
a perfect host in himself. Japanese Tommy is a
curious little man—he is one of the burlesque stars,
and his comicality was most amusing in the little
sketch entitled "Justice in a Coloured Court."
This was followed by a burlesque, "The Rival
Swordsmen," in which we had an extraordinary and
exciting double handed sword combat by Davis
and Johnson. The entertainment concluded
with a plantation festival, which introduced the
whole of the troupe, and which evoked the most
enthusiastic applause. The engagement of the
troupe will result in a great success, as it is without
doubt one of the best that has yet visited the me-
tropolis. The other entertainments at the Royal
are now exceedingly good, there being Mr. J. 11.
Milburn (the comique), the Brothers Autolean
(gymnasts), and Miss Emma Day (the serio-comic).
At the conclusion of the performances last night it
was announced that Mr. Frank Bell would make
his first appearance in his laughable performance
entitled " What Is it ?" Taken as a whole, the
entertainment at the Royal at the present time is
one of more than ordinary excellence, and it is
gratifying to see the exertions of the spirited
proprietor properly appreciated by crowded
audiences.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par , and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 151 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 12s. ibid. per ounce for standard gold, it apps pr
that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in
London

The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yester-
day evening :
THE MARSEILLES LAND COMPANY.

This afternoon an arrangement was made before
the Vice-Chancellor with respect to the claim of
the Credit Foncier et Mobilier of England against
this company. The Credit-Foncier are to enable
the liquidators to sell the laud by their removing
their inscription of mortgage, and to provide the
necessary funds for the purpose, and to have a first
claim for the sums so supplied, with interest. No
compromise was allowed with respect to the ques-
tion of the alleged misappropriation of the money
of the Marseilles company.

ANOTHER CLAIMANT TO 'TIE CROWN.

A female, who said her name was Mary
Ann Kent, this afternoon applied to the
Lord Mayor for assistance, in order to regain
the Crown, which she was, she stated, en-
titled to by being a daughter of George IV. She
said Mr. Gladstone had refused to do anything for
her. The poor woman, who was evidently
of unsound mind, left the court indignantly when
told that nothing could be done for her.

PEACE AND GOODWILL.

Happily all districts in Ireland are not alike torn
by agitation, and made unsafe by ill-feeling. In some
places the relations between landlord and tenant are
such that the utmost good will prevails; and the
result is peace. Ballymena, ono of the towns of
Antrim, is a case in point. The whole
district is owned by Sir Shafto Adair, and he
has just presented his tenants with a park. As
might be expected they bear feelings toward him the
very reverse of that which would cause them to
assassinate him. Our correspondent writes that
" Political outrages in the district are unknown,
and the community may be characterised as
peaceable, industrious, and well regulated." It is
not, of course, the mere presentation of the park—
munificent and generous though the act be—which
has brought about this happy state of things; it is the
general feeling which exists between landlord and
tenant. Would that the same good feeling prevailed
in other districts.
