REFORMS IN THE CHURCH.

Dr. Temple is of opinion that farmers, shopkeepers,
artisans and the like ought to take it upon them-
selves to assist the clergy in the work of making
people Christians to a greater extent than they do.
The Bishop has addressed a letter on the subject to
the clergy men of the diocese of Exeter, in which his
lordship expresses his views as to the importance of
their surrounding themselves with a trustworthy
council of laymen with whom they might
confer on all parish matters of importance. The
Bishop of Exeter, in the scheme of reform which he
unfolds to his clergy, thinks that men engaged in the
ordinary occupations of life might in every parish be
asked to take a leading part in Sunday School work
and in that of night schools; to visit the
sick and keep the clergymen informed of their
state; to hold services in school rooms, cottages,
or "any other building not consecrated for public
worship," to read written or printed sermons, and to
explain passages of scripture to the parishioners.
The Bishop thinks the benefits on all sides would be
of the utmost importance, and it appears to him
that to young men who intend to enter the Church
afterwards they would prove especially so, in-
deed, his lordship hints that at some future time it
might be well to make it a general rule that none
should be ordained without having served an ap-
prenticeship in all these duties for at least six
months.

EXPLOSION AT A GUN FACTORY.

The Birmingham Gazette gives the following account of
the explosion of cartridges, resulting in serious injuries
to two persons, which occurred at the percussion cap
and general ammunition manufactury of Messrs.
Kynoch, at Witton, on Thursday. Two boys named
Alfred Cooke, 16 years of age, and James Lindsey, aged
17, both residing with their parents in 11 court, Claverdon-
street, were at the time stated engaged, together with
others, in their ordinary occupation of sorting or packing
a number of cartridges for Chassepot rifles, in the de-
partment set apart for that purpose, when one of them, it
is said, departing from the usual mode, used a knife in the
process, and struck one of the caps. This at once exploded,
and as a result upwards of 300 more cartridges, which
were lying near, also exploded, and the materials were
dashed into the faces of the two boys. Several of the
workpeople ran to their assistance and they were taken to
the General Hospital. They were badly burned on the
face, arms, and chest, and other parts. The lads were
retained as in-patients, but their injuries are said to be
not of a very dangerous nature. The damage to the
premises is reported as trifling.

LEGAL APPOINTMENTS.—ShouId Mr. H. T. Cole
succeed Mr. Montague Bere, in the Recordership of
Southampton, the Recordership of Penzance will be
vacated, and this the Law Times thinks should be united,
as formerly it was, with the Recordership of Helston, as
"it is a practical absurdity to send two learned
gentlemen all the way from London to the Land's End to
hold a quarter sessions in two towns, distant only ten
miles the one from the other, and having between them
not more than three prisoners per sessions on the average.
The salary of each barely suffices to pay the expenses of
the journey."
FAN COMPETITION.—Her Majesty the Queen has
been graciously pleased to notify to Her Majesty's Com-
missioners her intention to offer a prize of £4O (1,000 f.) for
the best fan exhibited in the International Exhibition of
1871, being either a work of painting or carving, or a
combination of both, and executed by a female artist or
artists under 25 years of age, subject to certain conditions.
Mrs. Herbert Taylor offers a prize of £25 for the second
best fan. The Lady Cornelia Guest and the Baroness
Meyer de Rothschild each offer a prize of £lO for the two
fans next in the order of merit. These prizes will be
awarded subject to the same conditions as those decided
on by her Majesty for the first prize.
BREAKFAST.—EPPS'S COCOA.- -GRATEFUL AND COM-
FORTING.—The very agreeable character of this preparation has
rendered it ageneral favourite. The Civil Service Gazette re-
marks :—" By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which
govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a
careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa,
Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately
flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors'
bills." Made simply with boiling water or milk. Sold only in
tin-lined packets labelled—TAMES EPPS di • Co., Ilommopathi

SOUTH LEICESTERSHIRE REGISTRATION.

At the Registration Court of the southern division of
the County of Leicester, the revising barrister, Mr. G. L.
Browne, gave an important decision in reference to
one hundred and fifty voters, residents in St.
Margaret's Parish, Leicester. Mr. Fowler, on
behalf of the Conservatives, raised a general objection
to any person possessing a county vote, who has his free-
hold mortgaged to a Freehold Land or Building Society,
on the ground that such persons did not possess the legiti-
mate qualification of a freehold of the clear annual value
of forty shillings. It was further argued that such free-
holders, during the period of their annual payments
to the society to which they had mortgaged their freeholds,
had not a possession nece,--sary to clear the annual
value of forty shillings. Their payments yearly swallowed
up the value of the property (even in the cases of
freeholds of real value, of from £4OO to £600). The
revising barrister felt bound by the case of Beamish v.
Stokes, decided by the late Chief Justice in the Court of
Common Pleas, to disqualify the 150 persons objected to,
and did so reluctantly. As in recent cases, the Courts had
shown some disposition to take a more equitable view of
the position of such persons.

INCREASED CONFIDENCE.

A letter in the Independance Beige says that the feeling
of confidence which the population has displayed has
become still more confirmed since the news received from
Tours to the effect that a most enthusiastic movement in
favour of Paris has been made in the provinces, and that
in diplomatic circles some significant signs of intervention
have been displayed. At the present moment, if Prussia
were to offer to accept the conditions which M. Jules Favre
took to the Prussian headquarters, they would not be
agreed to by the inhabitants of Paris. The atrocities
\ which the Prussians are said to have committed, have
caused so much indignation that the idea of peace cannot
be entertained save at the price of the extermination of
the enemy. To the loss of life which has been caused by
this war we must add the misfortune of its having laid the
foundation of a lasting hatred between the two
nations. As is always the case with us, there
is a little exaggeration in our feeling of security
which has succeeded to a state bordering on despair. But it
is certain that with patience and prudence the position of
the Prussians may become a serious one. They seem to
have abandoned the idea of a regular attack upon Paris.
It cannot be expected that a capital which has more than
500,000 men in garrison, and which will soon number a
million among its defenders can be taken by
assault. It is thought here that if diplomatic
movements are undertaken, it will be as much
for the purpose of extricating Prussia from emba-
rassment as France from peril. An inquiry has been made
into the fire which occurred at Chaumont, and some
arrests have been made. The Presse of this evening says
that a Council of War has taken place at Versa:lles in
consequence of the advantage gained by General Polhes
over a Prussian corps. The internal situation of Paris is
most satisfactory ; there are still some incorrigible persons
among us, but, with some exceptions, there seems little
desire to create embaxassment for the Government. The de-
parture of M. Thiers for St. Petersburg was determined
on in consequence of a despatch from Baron Brunnow.
The Government of the National Defence went lately
to the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, in order to
arrange for the provisions of the capital, which is a sub-
ject that excites great interest. There is no danger of a
famine taking place, but the panic has been very great,
and this morning a butcher's shop was taken by storm,
and the people divided the goods, which he would not
give up to them. The plot of the bombs was absolutely
police fabrication. A famous democrat received 10,000 f.
from the Empire for his candidature against M. Thiers.

CARDINAL CULLEN ON TAE ITALIAN

OCCUPATION OF ROME.

Cardinal Cullen has issued a letter to the " clergy and
people of his diocese" on the "late events in Rome."
These, he says, must fill the heart of every Catholic with
grief and indignation. " The Florentine 'Government,
unmindful of treaties, despising the principles of iustice
and honour, trampling on the most venerable rights, have in-
vaded, without any provocation whatever and without declar-
ing war, the small remnant of the Papal territories which had
escaped their rapacity when plundering the States of the
Church in 1859." Rome is now in possession (the
Cardinal adds of "usurping marauders." The Pope is
" a prisoner in his own capital," and " our Divine Lord
has been insulted in the person of His vicar." In the
whole history of the Church there " has been
nothing so audacious." This has been done,
the Cardinal continues, under the hypocritical
pretext of promoting Liberal views and the interests
of nationality. To complete this scene, the Ministers of
the Italian Kingdom " addressed his Holiness with the
affection of son." This Cardinal Cullen speaks of as a
hypocritical profession. After a prayer that God would
scatter the enemies of the Holy See, the Cardinal adds
that the infidel writers and journalist clap their hands
with joy over this event; such persoes look on justice and
honesty as empty words. The Church, however, "always
comes forth more pure and more beautiful in the
freshness of youth." After giving the history of a
number of Popes who were restored after under-
going persecutions, the Cardinal reviews in par-
ticular the history of the First Napoleon, who prospered
in all his wars as long as he was faithful to justice and
religion. He was not driven to St. Helena until he had
deserted the Church. There is reason to hope, he adds,
that God will give the present Pope a glorious triumph
over his enemies. Of Napoleon 111., Cardinal Cullen
says :

" It is known to all that success abandoned the arms of
Napoleon 111., and wisdom left his counsels, since he
began to seek the ruin of the Pope's authority. His star
commenced to wane in 1859 and 1860, when he first
openly abandoned the Pope ; and since then his policy
miserably failed in Mexico, Germany, Turkey, and the
East. In 1859, still pretending friendship to Rome, he
encouraged the Sardinians 'to seize on the greater part of
the States of the Church, and guaranteed them in the
sacrilegious possession of their stolen property. Since
then, in spite of the condemnations issued by the Holy
See, he proclaimed his adhesion to the revolutionary
principles of the French infidels of 1789, and boasted that
he had inscribed them on his banner when undertaking
the present war with Prussia. Moreover, he committed
the education of youth to such infidels as Renan."

The document is very long, and, in conclusion, expresses
sympathy with the French nation, and directs Masses for
his Holiness and a national protest from Ireland against
the Italian " outrages."

THE LATE PROSPER MERIMEE.

The Daily News notes the death of Prosper Merimde,
at Cannes, whither he retired some time ago for the pur-
pose of recruiting his health. M. Merimee was a critic
on almost all subjects, painting, archaeology, drama, and
history, as well as a writer of history. He was a bio-
grapher, an essayist, and a writer of romances.
And, lastly, he contributed several article to the
Revue des Deux Alondes, the Globe, the Coma,
tutionnel, the lifonitear, &c. He was secretary in
the Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Marine, under
Louis Philippe, one of the Commissioners appointed to
take an inventory of the property of the Orleans family
in 1848, and a Senator and Commander of the Legion of
Honour under the Empire. He was a special favourite
with the Imperial family, at whore palaces he was a fre-
quent guest. Prosper Merimde was born in 1803.

the booty found in the city after the surrender ;
"No fewer than two thousand cannon have been
found in the fortifications, arsenal, and foundry ;
twelve hundred are bronze guns of various calibres
(mostly rifled, and the large majority bran-new guns of
1862, 1863, and 1864, that have never been fired), and
eight hundred iron, some of them very large, smooth-
bored and rifled. One hundred and fifty tons of powder
made up in cartridges, and four hundred and fifty tons
in bulk, have been discovered in store, and clothing
enough for an enormous force of men ; besides
many thousand stand of arms, including hosts
of capital Chassepots, although the Moblots and
Sddentaires were armed only with " tabatibres."
The military authorities estimate the value of the materiel
which, in virtue of the capitulation, legitimately be-
comes the property of Germany, at more than two
millions and a half sterling. In hard cash they have
taken ten millions of francs (2400,000), deposited in the
military chest of the garrison. It is much to the discredit
of the French army that the interval of time between the
display of the white flag and the transfer of the fortress to
German custody was utilised—let us hope without the
authority or knowledge of the Military Council
of Defence—by the troops to spike almost all the cannon
mounted on the works ; a distinct violation of the laws
of war and the terms of the capitulation. I regret also to
inform you that it has been found imperatively necessary
to cancel some of the safe conducts granted to the French
officers who passed their parole on Thursday, their
subsequent behaviour in the town having been such as
could not be tolerated by the Commandant. They
will, therefore, be conveyed to Germany as prisoners of
war.

During the bombardment the noise of the cannon was
distinctly heard in Baden, fifteen miles distant.
Notwithstanding the hardships they suffered through the
cannonade, the people helped the garrison to the utmost of
their power. The municipal council took measures for the
public safety. An extra service of fire-engines was orga-
nized ; a project for constructing bomb-proof places of
shelter was discussed ; refuges were sought for and publicly
notified to the destitute and burnt-out portion of the popu
lation, some of whom slept in churches, close to the
entrance, where the architecture is most solid, some behind
parapets on the quays of the canals, and some in the
theatre, where nearly 200 poor persons were lying the
night it took fire, and in a short time was burned to the
ground.
It appears that in the siege ;of Strasburg the Prussians
employed projectiles of a colossal size, such as they had
shewn at the Paris Exhibition, and which many of the
French generals said no army could make use of on
account of the difficulties of transport, placing in battery,
and getting into working order.

THE SIEGE OF PARIS.

The Telegraph is of opinion that the Prussians will
commence operations against the forts. They have un-
doubtedly pieces by the dozen which could throw shot
and shell into Paris itself from more than one spot
already occupied ; but it would be wild, long-range
firing ; and the programme of the siege naturally
divides itself into, first, the capture of one or
more outlying fortresses, and after that the bombard-
ment or assault of the ramparts. It is probable
that the invaders have employed the interval of
comparative silence in gathering round the doomed
outworks materials for a perfect feu d'enfer. So
deplorable a calamity as the destruction of the
beautiful metropolis and the decimation of its in-
habitants must be averted. The instincts of
manhood cannot tolerate the crimson logic which argues
the necessity of so awful a procedure. There live the
poor women, tender children, old men, and peaceful
persons by hundreds of thousands—people who could
not get away, whose only possible home is in Paris,
who had nothing to do with the Rhine or the war.
Are these to die ? Are death and fire to hail upon
their garrets and back yards ? And, beside these,
are the million and a half of unarmed citizens to be ex-
posed to massacre, and the endless treasures of the city
to be reduced to ashes ! If Paris will not yield, it must
be stormed, and must take its chance in that awful hour;
but we hope (says the Telegraph) that the Germans
do not intend to bombard the inhabitants in
order to make the soldiers surrender. The be-
siegers may plead that they cannot dispense with
the mighty cry for peace which the Paris bourgeois would
raise after the first few bouquets of shells had burst about
Passy and Grenelle. They may bid humanity turn and
count the dead and dying of the Fatherland, and judge
whether the war should be indefinitely prolonged for the
sake of the very few non-combatants who are killed in a
general bombardment. But Civilisation calls upon be-
siegers and besieged alike to come to terms before this
shocking sight is seen. Nothing can reconcile her to the
spectacle of Paris itself in flames, repeating upon a terrific
scale the hideous experience of Strasburg.

THE AFFAIR AT TOURY.

TOURS, OCT. 7.

The affair at Toury was much more important
than was at first supposed. There were 4,000 or
5,000 of the enemy's cavalry engaged, instead of
500, as General Reyan at first erroneously stated.
There are no Germans now in the Loiret.—Daily

BRUSSELS, OCT. 7.

A large number of the discontented soldiers at the
camp of Beverloo have been sent in detachments to
Antwerp, Liege, and other places. The movement
of troops towards Hainault continues.

The Lyons correspondent of the Independance
Beige says that there. are 30,000 troops under the
walls of Lyons, and that support will be received
from Marseilles and Toulon.

ENGAGEMENT WITH THE

RACING NOTES.

At a general meeting of the Jockey Club to be held at
Newmarket after the races on Wednesday in the Second
October Meeting, Lord George Manners will propose that
in future the Newmarket Craven and First Spring
Meetings shall commence on Tuesday instead o :Mon-
day, and that the Second Spring Meeting, dis-
continued since 1855, shall be re-established. In the
event of the latter portion of Lord George Manners' pro-
posal not being carried, Admiral Rous will bring under
the consideration of the meeting the expediency of alter-
ing the regulation by which the date of the
First Spring Meeting is fixed, so that it may
always fall within the period during which two-year-olds
are allowed to run. Admiral Rous has also given notice
of his intention to make the following proposals :—" That
the two-year-old course on the flat shall finish at the
D.M. ending post, the distance to be the same as at
present." " That the present Rule of Racing (No. 58),
which prohibits sales by auction, be repealed, and that the
old rule 58, which provides for half the surplus obtained
by a sale by auction being paid to the owner of the second
horse, be re-enacted."

The Queen of Prussia has presented to Captain
Koldewey, of the Germania, a gold medal, bearing the
head of the King ; and to Captain Hagemann, of the
Hansa, a silver goblet, in acknowledgment of the ser-
vices they have rendered during the late Arctic expedi-
tion.

INSIDE METZ.

The Manchester Guardian correspondent, who is shut
up in Metz, has managed to send three or four letters to
England. One of these is very interesting. It confirms
the very strange story told by the Pall Mall Gazette, in so
far as it says that General Bourbaki did actually leave
Metz, though the writer supposes that he went to Paris
to consult with the Government, and not to visit the

Empress, as was really the case. The writer conti-
nues :—" I am now regularly established in the
school of engineers as a balloon maker. I hope to be able
to make one large enough to carry me away to you, but
this will not be done now, and I must now perforce find some
other means of getting away, or rest still here in impatience
and anxiety. Horseflesh is plentiful, and we have good
stores of bread. But I can tell you that I shall never
again call anything common or unclean in the way of
edibles. Beef and mutton have long been unknown ; pork
is ss. a pound ; butter passed out of memory ; and cheese,
sugar, salt, and a hundred other things usually considered
necessaries, are regarded as vanities, of which it is wholly
useless to think. But we are contented, and accept onr
lot with philosophical resignation."

FRENCH WOUNDED.-FURTHER APPEAL.
—The funds generously placed at the disposal of the
Socia6 des Secours by the English friends of France being nearly
exhausted, we again trespass on the patience of those who sym-
pathise with Frenchmen in dire necessity, and ask for more
Monetary Aid to meet increasing and wide-spreading demands,
as will be seen by the following.

(Translation.)
Messrs. Piesse and Lubin

Gentlemen.—Allow me to express, with the greatest thanks,
the very kind reception with which you have received my demands
in favour of our unfortunate wounded at Versailles ; and I now
take the opportunity of informing you that all the help you can
afford me, either in money or kind, will be exclusively applied
according to your instructions to aid the French. wounded. This
is now easy to accomplish, as the Prussian authorities (to-day
supfeme at Versailles) oblige us to separate our wounded, as
they (the Prussians) have taken possession forcibly of
the magnificent ambulances which we had established
at the Palace of Versailles ; we must now trans-
port our wounded to some other locality. The
position in which we find ourselves in consequence of the total
interruption of communication with all France forces •us to
appeal to you, and we should therefore receive with the most
lively thanks whatever your generous donors may think proper
to contribute. Money would be very acceptable, but we should
also be very thankful to have any of the undermentioned articles
—Preserved meats, vegetables, soaps and milk, fruits, flannel,
linen (old and new), charpie, blankets, flannel shirts and vests,
wine in bottles, and cigars.
I beg to renew my sincere thanks to you and your donors for
their aid to our unfortunate wounded at Versailles, not only in
my own name, but also on behalf of the Societd des Secours aux
Blessde. .

BISMARCK'S REPLY TO M. FAVRE'S REPORT.

Count Bismarck is evidently determined, says the Daily
News, that the public opinion of Europe shall be completely
informed of the views and intentions of the German Go-
vernments in prosecuting the war. Having replied to M.
Favre's report of their celebrated interview, he has now
replied to the proclamation based upon it, which was sent
out by the Government Delegation at Tours. M. Bismarck
takes that rather high-flying proclamation in its most
severely literal sense, and treats the statement that
he had told M. Favre that Prussia meant to reduce
France to a second-rate Power, as though the world
had really believed he had made it. The world,
however, believed no such thing. European opinion gave
the Chancellor far too much credit for diplomatic ability
and astuteness to believe that even if he had
such an intention he would blurt it out to M. Favre on
the very threshhold of negotiations. The French Delega-
tion put their own interpretation on M. Bismarck's atti-
tude, and then put into his mouth words which express
the meaning they believed to be revealed by his acts.
They argued, as Frenchmen do, that as Prussia meant to
take territory from France, Prussia meant to lower
the position of France in. Europe; and as he had
avowed a determination to have territory, they
said he had expressed the intention to make
France a second-rate Power. Probably the very
interpretation of the words second rate as applied
to the position of France bear a different mean-
ing to them from that which they bore to the
rest of the world. Their argument was that if France is
reduced only to the level of other first-rate Powers, so as
to be only one among them, and not the first of all ; if
she is to be beaten, dictated to, and dismembered
by a stronger Power, it is evident that she is no
longer first, but is second. It is quite true that even as she
was before only first among equals, so she would now be
only second among equall. But Frenchmen owned no
equals for France upon the Continent ; her primacy was
absolute, and hence her reduction to a secondary position
would be absolute too. It is not the amount of territory
which Prussia proposes to take from France that French-
men object to, it is the sacrifice of any territory at all.

WRECK ON THE GOODWIN SANDS.

On Saturday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, a
large vessel struck on the Goodwin Sands, and in about two
hours became a total wreck. The Ramsgate lifehoat
Bradford, and a steamtug, went out to render assistance,
but nothing could be learnt as to the fate of the crew.
The vessel was thought to be about 700 tons. On a
piece of her stern which was floating about were the

THE REVOLUTION.

Poor Prevost Paradol ! says the Spectator. Six weeks
longer of pain, forty-five days more of patience with the
Almighty, and his burden would have passed away, and
he would have had a career, and all Europe would have
honoured him for his wise prevision. There is sense in
the composition of this Provisional Government. That
Government is Parisian, but the defence of Paris is
first task. It is a compromise, of course, between three
parties— Paris, the inorganic, anarchic, democratic force ;
the Orleanists, that is, liberty as understood by the com-
fortable ; and the Republicans, that is, the thinkers
of France—and the compromise is well managed.
The success of the Republic is, of course, dubious, de-
pending mainly on King William of Prussia, Providence,
and the effect of the magnificent offer its chiefs for the
first time in the history of France are able to make to the
peasants—their exemption from the blood-tax ; but, con-
sidering its means, its hurry, and its necessities, Paris,
we believe, has chosen well. They say. the Government
was self-chosen, and in a way that is true ; and the men
who, with a victorious enemy at their gates, France in
revolution, authority ended, and two millions of people
on the verge of despair, decide in the teeth of the laws to
take the helm, and do take it, are, in all human proba-
bility, the men to whom that helm, by a right higher than
legality, ought to belong.

&CCIDENT ON BOARD H.M.S. INCONSTANT.

Whilst the Inconstant was on her way to England with
despatches relative to the loss of the Captain, and when
off the Lizard, in consequence of the ship heeling, the
pipes of the boilers became red hot, igniting the feet
packing round them. Some time elapsed before the
flames were extinguished, and the engines were stopped
for two hours. On Friday the guns of the Inconstant
were being exercised, when the after pivot gun fetched
away, throwing the men who were attending the falls off
them. Whe gun- swung round, and there being no one
there to stop its course, it knocked down Private !Samuel
Shattock, aged 22, of the Royal Marine Artillery,
killing him instantaneously. Deceased was a native of
Taunton.
