NAVAL AND MILITARY.

It is said that twd officers belonging to regiments sta-
tioned at the Cape of Good Hope have just returned from
an expeditibn of some months 'to the Vaal River in search
of diamonds. Their labours were most successful, for
they brought back with them diamonds to the estimated
value of £15,000.
Captain foxier, 3rd Dragoon Guards, and the accom-
plished historian of the "Seven Weeks' War," has been
appointed by the Secretary of Warmilitary commissioner
with the Prussian army, and will start at once to join the
head-quarters of the King.
The Monarch, turret-ship, Captain Commerell, will go
into Portsmouth harbour to have her centre of gravity
tested.

The Irish Times reports that a mutiny among a com-
pany of the 89th Regiment, stationed in the Tipperary
Workhouse, who are under orders to leave for
India, took place on Monday afternoon. On their
accounts being closed previous to their departure for
India, they were informed that the captain had
refused to pay the balances coming due to them till they
went on board the ship, lest they might biome
intoxi-
cated. In consequence of this the soldiers hooted the
captain while passing through the parade ground,
and flung knives, forks, and other articles at him. Upwards
of thirty of the men were arrested, seventeen of whom
still remain in custody. During the night they broke all
the windows and the furniture the apartments in which
they were confined, while the men who are located in
partments over Captain Greer's quarters emptied buckets
of water on the floor and completely drenched the cap-
tain's apartpents. Further disturbances are. appre-
hended.

THE LOSS OF THE CAPTAIN.

Two free admissions to the school frigate Conway, lying
in the Mersey, have been placed at the disposal of the
Portsmouth Captain Relief Fund Committee.

SIR GEORGE GREY AND THE LICENSING
SYSTEM.

Sir George Grey presided yesterday at a meeting of the
delegates of the Northern Union of Mechanics Institutes
at Morpeth, and said that something ought to be done to
improve the licensing system, so as to check drunkenness,
but he did not approve of the Permissive Bill, believig it
would not remove the evil.

THE EASTERN QUESTION,

The Manchester Courier says the Eastern question is
once more on the point of lifting its head in Europe.
Russia's designs on Constantinople, which were frustrated
by the Crimean War, will be made again, not with Prus-
sia this time, as a benevolent neutral, but with her open
and avowed support, and who will there be to stand in
the way? England cannot do so alone. Franca is para-
lysed and crushed. Other European Statel
are either powerless or reduced to a po-
sition of mere puppets of Prussia. If the
attempt be renewed, supported as it may be expected, it
can hardly fail of success. With success, we may look to
see the total annihilation of the Turkish Empire. Such a
result is but the natural effect of the foreign policy of a
Liberal Government for the last few years. The country
is hardly to be congratulated on its adoption of it.

(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.)
AFTER A POSSIBLE PRIZE

Pier Dover yesterday watched with intense interest an
event which took place six miles out upon the sea.
A !French man-of-war sailing east, suspecting a screw
steamer sailing westward to be a Prussian, demanded her
colours. She refused to show them, and the Frenchman

fired upon her. She tried to escape ; but
the man-of-war giving chase came up with
her, and sent officers on board to examine her
papers. These, it is supposed, were found to be perfectly
satisfactory, and the screw Wa3 allowed to steam on her
way. The French crew were thus disappointed of an
expected prize.

THE ARMY BEFORE METZ.

The Staatsan,zeiger publishes the-following. accounts of
the army which blockades Metz. The General-in-Chief
of the army before Metz, Prince Frederick Charles, has
since the 9th September fixed his headquarters at Corny.
Corny is a large village to the south of Metz, on the right
bank of the Moselle, on one of the two great roads from
Metz to Nancy. The Prince is in the chateau of Corny,
whose large park stretches as far as the Motelle. In the
same villa the Order of St. John has established its depot,
on account of the facility of communications which it
offers. Tlie situation of Metz has not greatly changed.
From time to time some slight skirmishes take place
at the outposts, but they are of no importance ; on every
side the most careful watch is maintained, which exacts
as much attention from the military authorities as if the ,
ktroops had to perform rapid marches. Alth.ough they are
engaged iti'a blockade the troops have no rest, 'the exer-
'cises and the manoeuvres are kept up as regulaily as if

FIELD ARTILLERY.

The Times in an article discusses the subject of
field guns, and the importance of strengthening the
British army in regard to its artillery is forcibly
urged. The journal gives a 'multitude of instances
of the power and usefulness of artillery in the field
when a general knows how to make use of it. As
much, says the Times, might be said of garrison
artillery, and the siege of Sebastopol and the noble
defence made by the French fortresses are cited in
proof of the soundness of the argument. Mac-
Mahon's army had to lay down its arms at Sedan pri-
marily on account of the disposition of the Prussian
rifled field guns. The Times has lately pointed out
the neccessity for more powerful pieces, if the British
army is not to find itself overmatched in strength
with equal numbers, but it now admits that this
deficiency is not to be compared with the want of
men and horses, carriages and equipment. It is im-
possible, exclaims the leading journal, to
resist the conclusions of Lord Elcho on the
subject, or to doubt that though we have guns
enough, of a kind once the best in Europe, but now
weaker than those of the Prussians, Russians, and
Austrians, there are not nearly enough men and
horses to furnish the lowest admissible proporLion—
three guns per 1,000 men, infantry and cavalry
—for an army 60,000 strong. The exi-
gencies of modern warfare demand that all field
artillery shall be able to act independently, and to
that end the gunners must be carried swiftly to
distant parts of the field of battle, so that the guns
may be brought to bear in great numbers on the
same point at a critical period. The Prussians,
Austrians, and Russians have the means for doing
so ; the English have not. The guiles adds that field
guns can no longer be brought within the range of
infantry. Breech-loading small-arms have settled •
that point, and there is not the slightest use in doing
so, for the power of rifled guns is nowhere
greater than outside the range of rifles.

RUSSIA ARMING.

Russia, remarks the Standard, after waiting till the con-
flict between France and Prussia was seemingly decided, is
arming. Why:? To secure the advantages which Prussia,
at the outset of the war, promised as the consideration of
a benevolent neutrality. It would have been impossible
for the Russian Government to have directly taken part
with Prussia in this war. The Prussian Government did not
desire the eclat of such an affiance, and the Russian people,
so far as there can be said to be a Russian people, would
have struggled very bitterly against such an alliance. The
sympathy of the Russian national press—and the pref
is now-a-days a greater power in Russia in them any other
country—is, and has been throughout, entirely with
France, not so much from love to France as from hatred
to Germany. The quotations from the Russian
newspapers, with which the telegraph fitfully exercises
English public opinion, come from Government organs,
published in French or German ; the national press, the
public opinion of Russia, is altogether on the side of
France, that is to say, is bitterly against Germany. Alli-
ance with France against Germany would have been
popular in Russia, but was repugnant to the feeling of
the Government. Affiance with Prussia would have
suited the Government,' anxious about Poland, and the
aatisfaction of those schemes of policy in She East,
for which so much has been sacrificed ; but then such
an alliance would have been intensely unpopular,
and even dangerous. So the course was taken—
quite as agreeable to the Prussian Government' as
actual intervention—of benevolent neutrality, and
by that neutrality Russia, as the Prussian official
journals allow—and it must be remembered that in
Prussia the press is a Government concern—has entitled
herself to ask the support of Prussia to promote any par-
ticular ends she may think it opportune to pursue. Well
the Russian ends lies eastward.

ANOTHER RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

A shocking catastrophe took place at 2 o'clock yester-
day near Croom on the Limerick and Cork direct Railway.
The train, which is due in Limerick at 2.18, from some
cause not yet ascertained while in full speed suddenly got
off the rails and turned completely over. The track is
completely torn up, and a great number of carriages
smashed to atoms. Several of the passengers are much
injured, and, as far as ascertained at present, two lives
have been lost. A gentleman named Taylor, who was in
a carriage immediately behind the engine, was crushed to
atoms.

THE ST. MARTIN'S PLACE VOLUNTEERS.

"S. G. 0." writes to the 7 imes to claim forbearance
and consideration on behalf of the staff of volunteers
in St. Martin's-place, who are labouring to organise
efficient relief for the sick and wounded of both
armies. They have, he maintains, great difficulties
to contend against. As consignees of specie, the y
have to exercise great caution in their investments ;
as consignees of goods, they have to find the best
and cheapest methods of despatch, and regulate the
supply to each particular place. The money contri-
butions they have received approach £200,000, while
the material aid supplied is reckoned by hundreds of
tons. All this demands endless correspondence,
and the sorting of the material, the establishing of
foreign agencies for the stores, the finding and
equipment of surgeons, the keeping up of the com-
munications with the authorities abroad, which is
now very difficult, entail an immense variety of
work on every member of the staff. Not the least
troublesome part of their duties, according to the
advocate of the committee, is the obligation of
reading and replying to the manifold correspondents
who write " to be informed," " to suggest," " to
advise," to offer their services, or to propose
improvements in the management. His only sur-
prise is that Colonel Lindsay and his colleagues,
the Lthiesi Committee, - anti the w4le staff
in St. Martin's Place, have been able to
bear the heat and burden of a w.)rk whose
full amount and nature no one could have foreseen,
and he begs those who may regret that some things
have not been done,to remember that great tact and
care were necessary in dealing with the prejudices
and tempers, national and personal, of the military
'and medical authorities on both sides. There is
naturally some jealousy of our interference,
however valuable our aid, because the
fact of our assistance being wanted at all
is more or less a reflection on the belligerents.
"S. G. 0." is confident that when " this awful war
has taken its bloodstained record into the realms of
past history," England will have good reason to be
proud that her people of every class and creed
responded so heartily to the uplifting of the Red
Cross.

LONDON FRIDAY, SEPT. 30, 1870.

IF as yet " out of the nettle danger" the
belli-
gerents have failed to " pluck the flower safety,"
several of the great military leaders on both sides
have contrived, sword in hand, to carve their way
through all the ghastly horrors of the campaign to
the glory of a heroic reputation. For the recognition
of this, success is not needed. UHRICH sur-
rendering at the head of his 17,000 men
after his prolonged and desperate defence of
Strasburg is as noble and heart - inspiring a
spectacle as that of " FRITZ" riding into Palaisan
in the midst of the clang of martial music, after
having triumphantly passed through a long series of
sanguinary and decisive victories. MAC \,IAHoN
rolled into the ditch at the close of the battle of
Woerth, with one epaulette torn off by a cannon
ball, and his coat skirts riddled with needle-
gun bullets, MACMAHON prostrate with ft fright-
ful wound—apparently a death wound—in his
thigh, in the midst of the appalling carnage at
Sedan, so far as personal heroism goes, captivates
our admiration as completely as General vox
MOLTKE, without a scratch upon him, organising
victory in the seclusion of his moveable study,
and upon one historical field after another,
watching calmly, from his saddle, by the side of
the KING, the radiant result of his organisation.
Success is not essential, we repeat it, in the building
up of a heroic reputation. Even when it has come
to the worst, when the bitter end is of the very
bitterest, as in the instance of Poland, the fame
Avon in the deadly struggle is often that of
the victim, not of the vanquisher. Even
when a dauntless career is closed by au overwhelm-
ing defeat as in the instance of that very incarna-
tion of the Genius of• War, HANNIBAL, the son of
HAMILCAR, the glory woe. by SCIPIO on
the field of Zama, in no appreciable
way whatever eclipsed the peerless repute
of the Carthagenian. If only France would
realize the very simple truth we are here insisting
up' n, that—having vindicated her heroism, even in
the fruitless %defenco of Strasburg, at Toul, at,

PROFESSOR INIAURICE ON TILE WAR.

The Rev. T. 1). Maurice, M.A., Professor of Moral
Philosophy at Cambridge, delivered the inaugural
address to the students of the Working Men's
College, London. Alluding to the disastrous war on
the Continent, he said it was unfair to attribute to
the working class in France or, indeed, to any class,
the response to the declaration of war
against Prussia. lie believed that general
as the response apparently was there were
very many not only in that country, but in other
countries who hated war and loved peace. The professor
strongly deprecated the upholding of class distinc-
tions, and pointed out as ono of the merits of that
institution that it was designed to remove such
barriers to the promotion of a good and friendly
feeling amongst all. They, at that college,
the learned professor remarked, did not flatter
the working men, because they respected and
reverenced them. Although he and Mazzini had
many points of difference, yet he admired his
language when he told his friends not to care so much
about their rights and interests, but to think of their
duties.

CAPTURE OF EPINAL.

A telegram from Tours states that Epinal was, on
the 12th, attacked and captured by the Prussians,
after a most determined resistance by the National
Guards. On account of the overwhelming number
of the Prussians, and the terrible fire of their
artillery, they were compelled to retreat to
Kertigny.

SPEECH OF GARIBALDI.

ROUEN, OCT. 13.

The War Committee, consisting of Generals
Lefort and Martineau, and MM. Le Cesne, Brey-
cinet, Jules Cazot, and Alphonse Gent, sits en per-
manence at Tours, under the presidency of M. Gain-
betta.

The Prussians have determined upon fortifying
Gisors, which they propose to make a grand victual-
ling centre.

La Cloche announces that General Duerot has
left iu a balloon to join the army of the Loire.

The Journal du Havre learns that the exact words
that. Garibaldi addressed to the people at Tours
were " You are all Republicans—(cries of assent)
—well, then, a poet has observed that the subjects
of a -Monarchy are children, whilst Republicans
are men ; it is necessary to demonstrate to Europe
that we are no longer children, and that we are
worthy of being Republicans." lle further declared
Italian volunteers would not be wanting, and that
at the first call he would have 15,000 of them at
his disposal.
A number of Polish and Spanish Volunteers
are expected at Tours.

THE SECRETARY FOR WAR AT OXFORD.

The Right Hon. E. D. Cardwell and Mr. Vernon Har-
court, Q.C., on the invitation of the Liberal Association,
addressed a meeting at Oxford last evening. Mr. Card-
well, referring to the war, took credit to the Government
for the policy they had pursued. They had used their
best endeavours to preserve peace, and their position had
been one of strict neutrality. The Secretary for War
referred to his own department, and to the recent speeches
made by Mr. Henley, M.P., and Earl Carnarvon, and
announced that the Government had commenced arming
the militia with breechloaders. He explained the reductions
which bad been made in the army, especially amongst the
troops in the colonies, and touched upon
.the Red River
expedition, and the question of military stores and organi-
sation. Referring to the subject of secret voting, Mr.
Cardwell reminded the meeting that he had always re-
served to himself the right of changing his opinion in that
direction, and avowed that he had consented to the intro-
duction of the measure dealing with the matter, and was
ready to do so again. Mr. Vernon Harcourt, in the course
of his speech, strongly condemned the policy of France in
making war upon Prussia. The meeting passed a vote of
confidence in the speakers as the parliamentary represen-
tatives of the city of Oxford.

ARRIVAL OF PAPAL ZOUAVES AT
LIVERPOOL.

The Italian screw steamer India arrived at Liverpool
yesterday, bringing 290 Papal Zouaves from Genoa and
Leghorn. After anchoring in the river she was visited
by the Earl of Denbigh, Chevalier Lloyd, and other
gentlemen who are interested in their cause. The Eng-
lish and Irish part left the vessel in the -afternoon, but
the French Canadians will stay in her a short time
longer, and will return to their homes, taking next Wed-
nesday's American steamer.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.

Yesterday afternoon a terrible accident occurred at the
shipbuilding yard of Messrs. Mitchell and Co., at Low
Walker on the Tyne. A largo iron vessel in course of
construction suddenly fell over on its side, crushing be-
neath it many of the workmen who were at work below.
As far as is at present known the cause was the giving way
of one of the supports. No exact estimate of the number
killed can yet be made. Six bodies have been taken from
the debris, six others are seen jammed up, and it is feared
from 20 to 30 are seriously injured.

ACCIDENT TO A DUTCH FISHING BOAT.

The Dutch fishing boat Runegonda, while making for
Yarmouth Roads from the North on Thursday night,
struck on the sunken wreck of the screw steamer Chester,
and knocked a hole in her hull. The force of the colli-
sion threw one of the crew, a lad about 18 years of age
overboard, and he was carried away before assistance
could be rendered. The vessel was then run ashore, and
the damage repaired.

RE-OPENING OF THE HARBOUR OF KIEL.

The North German Consul at South Shields yesterday
received a communication from the River Admiral and
General commanding in the Baltic respecting the naviga-
tion of the harbour of Kiel. The dispatch states that the
harbour is re-opened under certain conditions, which are
merely intended to avoid danger from the numerous lines
of torpedos. The regulations admit of no exception, and
must be obeyed by the master of every ship entering or
leaving the port irrespective of the flag under which
he sails.

information."—News of the \forld.
" The ground was all new to Mr. Evill, and, in spite of the
season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir-
cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables
him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has
seen. . . . . Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company,
with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro-
cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican
Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western
Morning News.
" Italy has been described to the reading world again and
again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the
charm of novelty, and it has a charm. There is a fresh, inge-
nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records
his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian
scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone
before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The
exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in
glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the
(Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of
Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the
average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a
perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery
described, and be grateful to Mr. Evill for his pleasant recollec-
tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News.
"Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be
read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English-
women whom necessity keeps at home year after year . . .
The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heartily wish it
every success, and think that many •.intravelled Englishmen
will find something to interest them in Mr. Evill's " Winter
Journey to Rome."—The Examiner.

Provisional Government have authorized requisitions
to be made of all arms and ammunition of foreign
origin on their entry into France. The Government
will take possession of the same, reimbursing the

ENGLISH MEDIATION.

The Times remarks that little more than three years ago
we were content to enter into a substantial guarantee in
order to prevent war, and the fact cannot be overlooked
in any deliberation now on the means of con-
cluding the war. Taking our stand upon this basis,
let us put this hypothesis :—Suppose, after securing, what
might, we believe, be easily secured, the co-operation of
Austria and Russia, we addressed the two belligerents in
something like the f Alowing sense :—" We have watched
the war between you, and we are impressed with
a sense of its growing horrors, should it be
prolonged. We learn from the Circulars of both
that it is continued because the one insists upon a
cession of territory, to which the other will not consent.
It is admitted that the inhabitants of the disputed Pro-
vinces are averse from the transfer of their allegiance ;
and, speaking from the experience of each of us, we know
the constant danger to peace resulting from the' neces-
sity of governing a district inhabited by a people re-
senting the rule imposed upon them. We recognise,
however, the justice of the demand made for some guar-
antee of future safety, and we feel that the dismantle-
ment of the hostile places in the provinces the posses-
sion of which is contestA m. y I e deemed and insufficien
security by the cne and an uncalled-for exposure to
attack by the other. We are ready, therefore, to make
the following offer :—Let the strong places of Alsace
and Lorraine be dismantled, and we will enter into joint
and several guarantees with each belligerent to join either
against the other in case one should make an attack upon
the other without first submitting to our arbitration
as neutrals the grounds on which such an attack is
sought to be justified." It is quite possible such
an offer might be unsuccessful, but there are
reasons why some efforts should be made to
promote. it. We are accused of a selfish
isolation, of being unconcerned at any misfortunes of our
neighbours, and of a craven temper that would buy present
immunity from danger at any price. We could not more
clearly disprove these charges than by taking the
initiative in offering terms of peace that would, attest a
genuine desire to protect our friends from injury.

The body of William Wells, a native of Eynesbury, but
who has lived at St. Noet's for twenty years, was found
on the Great Northern Railway, near Great Paxton

and was some distance away. It appears the deceased
had made several previous attempts at suicide. He was

10 lIDNIGHT 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 the
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
Stabb, Ron. Sec., 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the

SHELLING OF ST. CLOUD.

A German official despatch, dated Versailles,
Oct. 13, states that the French, without the least
cause, commenced a severe attack on St. Cloud.
The place was shelled with the greatest intensity,
and the result was the palace was set on fire, and
totally destroyed. A. sortie was made, but the ten
battalions taking part iu the affair were repulsed by
the Bavarians.

From the same source the news also comes to
hand that the former commander of Toul has died
at Munden of small-pox. All the French fortresses
on the Belgian frontier appear to be making pre-
parations to repel all attempts that may be made to
take them by assault.

M.ezieres appears to be the next place set down
for bombardment.

At Carnbrai and Londreries, on the approach of
the Prussians, steps have been taken to inundate
the country surrounding the fortresses.

It is said that the courts-martial. in Paris are
carrying the sentences of death, pronounced against
deserters and fugitives, rapidly into effect, and thus
striking terror into the minds of the waverers. The
credit for arming the people has been increased to
23 millions of francs.

THE PRUSSIAN PLAN OF
ATTACK,
The German leaders appear to care nothing about
cyontealing their programme of attack upon Paris.
It is announced at Berlin that the forts mill be
regularly attacked, without any preliminary bom-
ban:lt:next of the city. When the Germans get
Possession of one or two commanding posts, they will
cmPloy the terrors of a bombardment in case the
Y does not then surrender. The idea of pa.sing
Hall the winter in the attempt to starve out the
Pillation seems to be generally scouted. Some of
dae German officers, it is said, urged a bombard-
,4lent at once ; but Count Bismarck did not
'4onr this course. Though he will not make

Willing to have the approbation of other States

Inside Paris, the Government has decisively
refused the demand to elect a municipality. This
