THE FIRE AT LIVERPOOL.

As already briefly reported, a destructive fire
took place on Wednesday afternoon at Liverpool at
Sutherland's Cotton Warehouse, on the Margin of the
Liverpool Docks. About half-past one o'clock some
smoke was observed issuing from the third and upper
storeys, and it is presumed that the fire must have broken
out in the two places simultaneously. The alarm was at
once given, and shortly afterwards several fire-engines,
including the oorporation steam-engine, were on the spot,
and did good service. The Canning Dock being so near
at hand, there was a plentiful supply of water, and about
about half-past three o'clock the fire was got under, but
not until the roof had fallen in and a large quantity of
cotton had been detroyed or damaged. The extent of
the damage done it Is at present impossible to state, but
both the warehouse and its contents were insured.

MANSLAUGHTER AT REDRUTH.

At the Cornwall County Assizes, held at Bodmin,
Joseph Martin, a miner, was on Wednesday sentenced to
penal servitude for life for what Mr. Baron Martin de-
scribed as the worst case of manslaughter that had oc-
curred in this or any other country. The prisoner was
indicted for the wilful murder of John Wren, a fish
dealer at Redruth, whom he stabbed in the groin in the
30th of April last, deceased having remonstrated with
him for using indecent langtiage towards his (deceased's)
wife and another woman. Wren died within an hour
after the wotincl had been inflicted.

The Russian Government, it is said, has been very
urgent in dissuading King Christian from aban-
doning the attitude of neutrality which he has
hitherto been able to preserve. They have
warned him distinctly that iu the event of a sudden
termination of the war there is imminent danger of
Prussia insisting upon being compensated for her losses
by the annexation of the residue of the Danish territories ;
and that in that case the Czar would insist upon a cor-
responding cession on the opposite side of the Sound. The
Court of Stockholm know this, and are in a great
fright. The King of Denmark has allowed his brother,
as hostage, to take service in the Prussian army ; but the
popular feeling both in Denmark and Sweden, is becoming
uncontrollable, and the Governments will be ere long
swept into the vortex.

TAE SECRET TREATY.

Sir G. JENKINSON gave notice that to-morrow he would
ask the Premier whether, in the view of the proposed
teaty between France and Prussia, menacing the indepen-
dence of Belgium, he would state explicitly for the
information of the House, whether the Govern,
meat would take steps to enforce the provisions of the
Treaty of 1831 guaranteeing the independence of Belgium
in case any attempt be made by either of the belligerents
to carry out the provisions of the supposed secret treaty,
and if any steps had been taken by the Government to
secure the co-operation of the other Powers who were
parties to the treaty with England.

THE FRENCH LEGATION AT 111UNICH.

Mr. EYLANDs asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, if his attention had been called to a tele.
grain in the Times of Monday to the following effect :
"Mu nich, July 30. Considerable surprise is expressed
here at M. Hory, the Chancellor of the French Legation,
remaining in Munich, and at the British Legation taking
him under their protection on the pretext of his having
entered their service."

Mr. OTWAY said that if surprise was occasioned it was
because the circ unstances connected with the matter wei e
not known. Before the outbreak of the war the French
Government applied to the British to take under its pro-
tection French subjects in Germany. It was at once
agreed to do so provided the same arrangement was
allowed with respect to German subjects remaining in
France.

mark's last circular to the North German reibrusynt
tives. The Minister quotes the words Cooni,
Bismark, addressed by him to. Prince N )1 eon,
intimating that it would be impossible for Fiance
to take the Rhine Provinces, which were German,
but advising the annexation of Belgium. Count G (az,
the then Prussian Ambassador in Paris, repeated the
same at the French Imperial Court, and the Due de
Gramont defies Count Bismarck to name one fact in
support of his insinuations. He adds :—We cpcnod
no negociations with Count Bismarck, either in
respect to Belgium, or with any other object."
The Minister draws attention to the fact that,
instead of seeking war, France intended to disarm, and
quotes letters of Count Daru, dated the ht and 13th of
February, on the subject of disarmament. He avers that
in refusing the French proposal of disarmament recom-
mended by England, Count Bismarck dwelt Principally
on the anxiety he felt from the policy o liussia,
and on this subject entered into particulars re-
specting the Court of St. Petersburg, which the
Duke de Gramont prefers to leave unmentioned, not
wishing to repeat injurious insinuations. The Duke
concludes as follows :—" Whatever may be ti e cainaodes
put forward by Count Bismark through fear, lie has for-
feited every claim to be believed."

THE CARRIAGE ACCIDENT AT RICHMOND.—
Last evening Mr. Carter held an inquiry at the Richmond
Infirmary touching the death ot Mr. George William
Hodder, who died on Sunday last from injuries received
in a carriage accident which occurred in Richmond Park
on the 28th of May. The jury returned a verdict of
" Accidental death. '

A FATAL DREAM ON THE WAR.—On Tuesday
night an inquest was held in Twyford-street, Caledonian-
road, on the body of James Fayrer, aged 26 years.
Latterly deceased had suffered from illness. On Thursday
morning he was in a very excited state, and said he had
been dreaming of the war, and that the Prussians were ill-
using him. In the evening he cut his throat, and died two
hours afterwards. A verdict of suicide while of unsound
mind was recorded.

ENGLISHMEN AT THE WAIL—A Correspondent of
the Cologne Gazette writes from Saarbruck :—" English
correspondents and dilettanti are to be counted here by
the dozen. Notwithstanding the anxiety of the British
Government to restrain its officers from taking any part
in the war it cannot prevent them from displaying interest
in the German cause. The English amateurs sometimes
seek, with a true enthusiasm, to press, without having
been authorised, to the outposts, and the commander has
occasionally to converse with them, in order to make
clear to them the inadmissibility of their curiosity."

A SINGULAR STORY.

Cases which contain the outline of an orthodox
romance not unfrequently occur in our law courts,
and a story which would supply the plot of an ordi-
nary three-volume novel has just been told before
Vice-Chancellor Malins. The plaintiff; Madame de
Virte, is the daughter and eldest child of the late
Roderick Macleod, the proprietor of large estates in
the North of Scotland, M.P. for Cromarty, and Lord
Lieutenant of the county. Miss Macleod was edu-
cated as a Protestant in her iitther's house, but
became a convert to the Roman Catholic religion
in 1840 while staying in Italy for the benefit of her
health. She was received into the Romish Church
by the Archbishop of Pisa, but her parents did- not
know of her change of creed until Easter 1841,
when they discovered it and locked her in her
room for some days to induce her to retract.
Miss Macleod overheard a conversation between them
in which they planned severe measures against her
to compel her to a recantation. She thereupon con-
sulted the Vicar-General of Pisa, though we are not
told how she obtained access to him, and left her
father's house with the vicar's sanction, but unknown
to her parents, going t U a convent at Pisa. Her parents
tried vainly to induce her to return, but she entered
her noviciate with the view of taking the veil. This
idea she was compelled to abandon, owing to her

THE FOREIGN ENLISTMENT BILL.

With the view of preventing the recurrence of the
disputes that arose during the civil war in Amu -lea,
culminating in the affair of the Alabama, the Go-
vernment have introduced a bill, the chief provisions
of which are as follows : If any person, without the
license of her Majesty, being a British subject,
within or without British dominions or not being
a British subject within British dominions, accepts
any commission or engagement in the service
of a foreign State, at war with a State at peace with
this country, he ball be liable to be fined.-andimpri-
soned. The same liability is extended to any person
inducing others to contravene the Act. In
like manner the Act renders it illegal for any person
to go on board ship with intent to accept service in
the military or naval service of any foreign State at
war with a friendly State, but of course this does not
apply to the subject of the State at war. The em-
barkation of persons under false representations as
to service is decreed to be illegal, and the
Act then proceeds to define the cases
in which shipbuilding is contrary to law. If
any person within her Majesty's Dominions
builds, agrees to build, causes to be built, issues any
commissions, equips, despatches, or causes to be des-
patched, a ship, with intent or knowledge, or having
reasonable cause to believe, that it will be employed
in the military or naval service of any foreign State
at war with any friendly State, the offender will be
liable to punishment. There are also clauses relat-
ing to presumptions as to evidence of illegality and
penalties in aiding the warlike equipment of foreign
ships. Power is given to detain a ship, if the Secre-
tary of State or the chief Executive authority is satis-
fied that there is a reasonable and probable cause
for believing that a ship, within her Majesty's
dominions, is being built or.equipped contrary to the
provisions of the Act; and the Treasury will allow
an indemnity, if the Court of Admiralty shall find
that there was not reasonable and probable cause for
the detention.

NOTES ON THE BATTLE.

The Pall Mall Gazette of last night says :—" It need not
be said that no ' official French account' of the events of
the war is to be trusted. It is not in accordance with
Napoleonic traditions thal such official accounts should be
trustworthy. On the contrary, we may pretty safely take
it for granted that they will be written in the almost
comically reckless spirit which describes Prevost-Paradol's
most inconvenient death from a pistol shot as resulting
from ' aneurism of the heart.' That the French victory
over the Prussians described in the telegram above is
substantially or at least sufficiently true we do not doubt :
true to the extent that the French have driven, or have
been permitted to drive, the little German force at Saar-
bruck out of that town. But whether this opera-
tion is to be accounted much of a " victory"
remains to be seen. It takes at once a different aspect
from that which it presents in the official account ' if
our own view of the probabilities of the campaign is
accurate. Endeavouring yesterday to understand and
define the German plan, we said that 'it is intended for
a battle in which the German left, from Zweibrucken to
near Saarlouis, should maintain a purely de-
fensive fight ; while their right, advancing from Saar-
louis and west of it, supported by the full reserves,
attacks the enemy in force,' in an endeavour to cut his
communication with Metz. If this be the plan, then the
victory of the French at Saarbruck is perhaps little more
than a withdrawal of the Germans, in accordance
with their plan of defensive action in that
quarter. The Times of this morning sanctions a good
deal of the opinion we have ventured upon within the last
few days by simply repeating it. This morning's tele-
grams also justify our expectations of the campaign by
the statement that the 7th Prussian Army Corps was
marching by Treves toward the frontier. But this signi-
ficant news we gave yesterday, on our own private infor-
mation."

RUNNING THE BLOCKADE

A bold attempt is now being made by the German
steamer Uhlenhorst to run the blockade of Hamburg;
under cover of the prevailing fog. The Uhlenhorst left
Hartlepool on Tuesday, with 900 tons of steam coal,
and will prove a valuable prize should ehe fall into
the hands of the French fleet known to be cruising
off the mouth of the Elbe. Her crew are exclusively
Germans.
London, England, 1870-08-04

NEUTRALITY OF HUNGARY

In the sitting of the Lower House yesterday a roya
decree was read closing the present session and convoking
the next.

The Presideht in his closing speech dwelt upon the fact
that the National Hungarian Honved army and the
common army of the empire take their part
by the present Monarchy. The King and the nation, he
said, recognised strict neutrality as salutary, and the
Honved Army, no less than the common army of the
Empire, will secure this neutrality, and supported by it,
we fearlessly look forward to the future. This speech
was received with cheers from all sides.

The Impartial du Rhin contains the following :
"The Emperor. has decided to organize a Foreign
Legion for the whole length of the war, to consist
of several battalions, destined to receive into their
ranks foreigners and deserters who might offer
themselves for service. They will be accepted in the 6th
Military Division at Strasburg, and at Belfort. These
recruits will, untilfurther orders, be sent to Tours."
When the French occupied the heights of Saarbruck
yesterday a battery of 11litrailleuses was placed in posi-
tion in presence of the Emperor and of the Prince Impe-
rial. Shortly afterwards a Prussian detachment marched
aver the railway bank at a distance of 1,600 metres.
The Mitrailleuses fired upon them, and in a moment the
detachment was dispersed, leaving half of their number on
the ground. A second detachment crossed the same line
and suffered the same fate.

The French artillery officers are enthusiastic at the
effect of the mitrailleuses.

Marshal Bazaine had an engagement with the enemy's
riflemen, in which several Prussians were killed.
13y the Ist of November France will have 2,200,000
phassepots in store. The production has never slackened
f9r a moment. In July 30,000 per week were manu-
49Ved ; in August the number will reach 47,000 ; in
Bepteixtber, 52,000 ; and October, 60,000.

THE TWO GREAT BILLS OF THE SESSION.

The parliamentary session of 1870, which began
with the Irish Land Bill, has terminated with the
European war, and the greater interest has very
effectually dimmed the less. Had men's minds been
less engrossed, however, with Continental affairs, it
is still probable that the two great bills of the
session would have been finally carried through.
Both the Irish Land and the Education questions
had grown too grave and too pressing to be longer
trifled with, and all except the obstinate holders of
extreme opinions perceived the necessity of making
some concession. Favourite theories and points of
detail had to be sacrificed before the desired ends
could be reached, but the soundness of the funda-
mental principles compensated sincere reformers for
many minor disappointments. Mr. Gladstone is able
to describe the victorious Land Bill as an endeavour
"to establish a harmony between Great Britain and
the sister island such as heretofore has not been
effectually attained," and the hope which he expresses
that the measure may promote "a nearer approach
to the union of heart and sentiment in Ireland will be
cordially echoed by enlightened men of all parties."

THE PAPAL GOVERNMENT.

In consequence of . the decision of the French
Government to withdraw its troops, the Pontifical
Government has provided for its defence so far as
lies in its power. The army has been placed on the
best footing, and the fortifications of Rome put
into thorough repair. In order to carry out the
intentions of the Holy See, the War Minister has
appropriated a sum of 25,000 f. to the reconstruction
of the barricades which are beyond the gates of the
city, and he has resolved to concentrate in the
capital those bodies of men who are n w in the
provinces. These precautions have their origin, it
is presumed, in the anxiety that is created by the
movements of the Mazzinian party. They have
lately received reinforcements from people who have
come from Lugano, and money has been sent to them
from another part of the country.

THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.

The report of the directors of the Metropolitan Rail-
way Company was issued last night. The gross traffic
for the half-year realised £206,809. The revenue account
shews a balance of £147,749 ; dividend will be at the rate
of 3 per cent. The revenue account is not credited on
account of surplus lands according to order in Chancery.
An appeal against personal responsibility in respectof past
dividends is pending. The proposed company for the
purchase of surplus lands has entirely fallen through.
Arrangemsnts have been made to admit of the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway Company running through
to Moorgate-street. The Metropolitan District Railway
will not renew the working arrangements after July 21.
£160,000 Debentures have been renewed at 4i per cent.

THE DOCKYARDS,

It is generally believed that although the deposit for
the purchase of Deptford Dockyard has been paid, the
present state of Continental affairs justified the Admi-
ralty in declining to proceed any further in the matter.
Government officers have inspected the factory portion of
Woolwich Dockyard, to decide as to the possibility and
expediency, in the event of sudden and urgent orders
pressing heavily upon that department in the Royal
Arsenal, of utilising the dockyard factory as an addition
to that in the arsenal.

The Court will return from Osborne to Windsor
on the 17th inst., and will probably leave for Balmoral on
the following day.

A GREAT WESTERN SHIP CANAL.

A scheme is on foot welch is -likely to be -of great pra
tical service to the West of England. Mr. Adolphus
Owen, of Exeter and London, proposes to construct
a ship canal between the 13iistal Channel and
the mouth of the Exe, which would place the
coal-fields of South Wales in direct communication
with Portsmouth. The distance between Cardiff and
Exmouth is now, by the ordinary sea route, 370 miles.
The proposed canal would be 59 miles, reducing the sea
passage to only 80. The dangers of the Land's
End would be avoided, and coal would be rendered
far more accessible to the metropolis itself.
The projector estimates the cost of the work at £3,500,000;
dimensions—length, 59 miles ' • width at surface, 124 feet ;
width at bottom, 31 feet; depth, 21 feet. The
quantity of coal that would be annually passing
through would be 4,261,334 tons, which at the tonnage
rate of a farthing per ton per mile would
produce £261,894, less 35 per cent. for working expenses
and maintenance, leaving £170,236 anticipated profit.
Telford designed a similar scheme some half century ago,
but it was never carried out, though there is a ship canal
from the Exe to Exeter. Mr. Owen's canal would run
through a long, deep valley, skirting Exeter on the east
and Tiverton on the west, and the whole route offers ready
access to the engineer.

CARLIST. B RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

The inquest on the Carlisle railway accident has
been brought to a close. On the 10th of July the mail
train was run into by a goods train from a cross line
and five persons were killed by the collision. I n
summing up the coroner remarked upon the loose
system which prevailed in these railways. The case
before them proved that it was important for rules
to be supplied by the • heads of departments, and
that competent persons should be appointed to carry
them out; it was also requisite that a proper
supervision should be maintained. The accident in
question occurred during the night,when no responsible
person appeared to have been present to supervise the
men. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the
collision of the trains was occasioned by the incom-
petency of the driver of the North-Eastern goods
train, whom they found guilty of manslaughter.
They were also of opinion that the engine driver was
seriously to blame for refusing to join the goods
train at the London station, because the accident
might not have occurred if he had been in his proper
place on the engine. The jury concurred in the
remarks of the coroner as to the want of supervision
by the heads of departments. They trusted that
this inquiry would stir up the North-Eastern Com-
pany to a sense of their responsibility, so that' the
lives of the public might not in future be placed at
the mercy of reckless and incompetent men.

OUR IRONCLAD NAVY.

Neutral as England stands at the present moment,
preparations for an emergency in case of a change in
attitude are being vigorously carried out. Recruit-
ing is being pursued briskly, the dockyards are
beginning to be spoken of; while the ironclads are
being put in a sea-going state. Captain Shorard
Osborn, seizing the opportunity, writes to the Times
advocating some recognition of the soundness of the
turret principle. This principle, the gallant captain
contends, has been thoroughly successful, but the pre-
judices of those in authority have hitherto prevented
its development in the English navy. The trials
have been severe, but despite the almost criminal op-
position of those who should have known better,
" the turret principle is acknowledged to be the true
one for handling great rifled guns in a seaway; it
affOrds a steadiness of gun platform as remarkable as
it is advantageous, and any tyro can seo the
superiority for defence the hull must offer if covered
everywhere with armour instead of being cut into
patches by port-holes, as in the broadside ironclads."
Captain Osborn says the Controller of the Navy
dreads lest it should be proved that a good deal of
public money has been wasted in the attempts made
to produce something as good as Captain Coles's ship
without frankly adopting the turret principle. If
Prussia had six such ships as the rayed Royal
Sovereign instead of her present ironclads, Captain
Osborn thinks it would be an evil hour for the finest
ships of the French fleet, if they were caught Off the
Elbe or i❑ the Baltic.

BREECHLOADERS.

The efficiency of the arms supplied to our, troops is
admitted on all handS to be a matter of the first im-
pc and it is not surprising that it has been
made a matter of special inquiry in Parliament. Mr.
Aytoun asked whether all our forces wore armed
with breechloading rifles, and whether the 300,000
in store were in excess of those given to the troops,
and also whether steps had been taken to
arm the volunteers with the improved
weapon. Colonel Gilpin had understood that
some of the regular regiments were only armed
with muzzle-loaders, and another member suggested
that the volunteers should be armed with Enfields
converted into Spiders. Mr. Cardwell replied to all

NORWICH CROWN BANK.

A very large meeting of creditors of the Norwich Crown
Bank was held at Norwich on Tuesday afterneoli, Mr. T:
H. Palmer, registrar of the Norwich division of the
Norwich County Court, presiding. The statement of ac-
counts submitted by Mr. Gibbons did not differ materially
from the balance sheets already published, putting aside
the private estate of Sir R. Harvey. The total deficit
of the bank is, in round figures, 2700,000 ; the probable
dividend - will be 12s. 61 in the pound, and payment
of 3s. 4d. in the pound as a first dividend is promised
in six Weeks. Mr. B. C. Bailey was, appointed
trustee, with a view to administration of the estate
of the bankrupts, and all the preliminary measiirs taken
thus far in. the matter of the bankruptcy were approved.
A committee of inspection was also appointed. A letter
written six years ag,o Was produced, in which Sir Robert
Harvey stated that his inConie at . the time was £45,000,
and his expenditure 28,000 yearly.

THE GOVERNMENT AND STREET
TRAMWAYS.

Petitions were presented in Vice-Chancellor Mshim'
Court yesterday, in the matter of Street Tramway Bills
recently—introduced into Parliament, affecting- seven'
different parts of the country, namely, Birmingham, Leeds,
Plymouth, London, Pimlico, Peckham, and Manchester.
Mr. H. M. Jackson stated that the object of the
petitioners was to secure the payment out of
court of the money which had been deposited
as a guarantee for the parliamentary costs of the
respective bills. The Manchester and Leeds Nils,
although partially proceeded with, had been with-
drawn ; and the deposits amounted to £4,200 in the former
case and 21,400 in the latter. As to the other bills, it was
a matter of consideration whether they would not be sub-
stituted for a Government scheme; but although they had
passed the House of Commons, been read a second tune
in the Lords, and were unopposed, the Lord
Chancellor's secretary had declined, under the
circumstances to answer the petitions. The Vice-Chan-
cellor said an intimation should be conveyed to the proper
quaiter as to the course which had been adopted under
similar circumstances in the Rolls Court, and the prayer
of the petitions would be accedect to, subject to the produc-
tion to the registrar of certificates indicating that th'i bills
had either been passed or withdrawn.

AMEEICANS AND THE WAR.

Not many days ago i% was stated that the American
residents in Paris had asked permission to form a
legion which should be filled exclusively by American
subjects, who were said to syinpathise strongly with
the French section in the present ,
dis-
pute. However this may be, there can be no
doubt that the feeling in America is running
in the opposite direction, and that Prussia is
much more popular than France. It is stated by an
. American correspondent that when the Prussian envoy
at Washington received the ;telegram announcing
that Prussia had accepted the challenge of France,
he handed it to the Speaker of Congress, who read it
to the House, and the members received it with
applause. In the evening the North-German Consul
at Philadelphia was serenaded by a large crowd,
and there was a considerable display of sympathy
evoked among the populace on the mention of the
King of Prussia and Bismarck. It must be remem-
bered, however, that there is a large German popu-
lation throughout the length and breadth of the
States, while the number of Frenchmen is small.
On almost every occasion that France has been at
war since the declaration of American Independenc e
she has had the moral support of America, and the
name of Lafayette is still honoured in the United
States as one of the bravest fighters in the cause of
liberty. According to all accounts there is a feeling,
of satisfaction at the breakin,4 out of war, arising, no
doubt, from the belief that it will stimulate the
foreign commerce of the country, and the effects are
seen in the higher prices for breadstuff's and the
increase of premium on gold. The mercantile navy
too, which has been in a languishing state since the
civil war, may be expected to participate in the
improvement.

THE FRANKFORT SWISS.

After all the excitement which was created by the
affair of the Frankfort Swiss youths, it seems that
they are likely to return to their old allegiance. They
were naturalised in Switzerland to avoid the necessity
of serving in the Prussian army, and for this offence
were banished the country by the Berlin Government.
The present crisis seems to have revived their
patriotic ardour, and many of them have
written to their parents expressing their wish
to join the German army as volunteers in the war
with France. According to the last accounts that
have been received their families do not withhold
their consent, and several of the young men have
returned to Germany in order to assist in the war. It
would appear from this that they did not shrink from
military service in the first instance, but that they
resented the idea of being subjected to an arbitrary
rule, and compelled to leave their homes for no
definite purpose merely to carry out the schemes of
the authorities.

RIIPruitES-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT

WHITE'S MOC-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
iPerfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions of
1851 and 1821, is• allowed by upwards of Five Hundred •Medical
men to be the most•effeetive invention in the curative treatment
of HEIINIA. The .use of a steel spring, so often hurtful in its
effects, is here avoided—a soft bandage being worn round the
body, while the requisite resisting power is supplied by the Moe-
Main Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and cicse
ness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep.
A descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which can-
not fail to fit, forwarded by post, on the circumference of the
body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the manu-
facturer,
