MORE ABOUT THE STRANGE STORY.

The Daily News Tours correspondent forwards a report
respecting the remarkable " N." or " M." intrigue,
which throws some light both on that affair and on the
general conduct of Bourbaki and Bazaine: —General Bour-
baki did riot come to Tours spontaneously. After leaving
Chislehurst he went to Brussels, and proposed to return to
Metz, but on crossing the French frontier he received an
order from M. Gambetta to report himself at Tours. Ile
obeyed without hesitation. On his arrival here he
was asked authoritatively how he came to leave
Metz, and what he went to do in England. The
General answered that Marshal Bazaine told him that a
person named Regnier had come to Metz with a message
from the Empress Eugenie, who desired to see General
Bourbaki, and that the Marshal wished him to go.
Bourbaki objected strongly to leave his command, and
said he would not leave it unless the Marshal gave him a
written order. That order was given, and thereupon
Bourbaki, without difficulty, passed through the Prussian
lines in the Geneva uniform of an ambulance surgeon,
There was little occasion (I observe parenthetically) for
the disguise, since it is very obvious that Bourbaki,
whether he knew it or not, was a tool in the hands of an
agent jointly employed by the Bonapartists and the Prus-
sians. When he arrived at Chislehurst, the Empress,
Bourbaki said, seemed surprised to see him, and denied
that she had sent for him. If the soi-disant M. Regnier's
story be true, the Empress could not have been surprised
at seeing General Bourbaki, because if she did not person-
ally give the strange busybody his commission, she
was aware of it, did not oppose it, and only objected
that the enterprise was difficult and dangerous. The
" N." or " M." pamphlet reproaches Bourbaki for not
having given to the Empress the -explanations which were
expected of him. When M. Gambetta had heard
all that Bourbaki had to say about Chislehurst,
which, as you see, • was next to nothing at all,
he asked him what he thought of Bazaine. The
answer was at first conveyed by "making a face" expres-
sive of disgust. On being asked what that face meant,
Bourbaki said, •" Bazaine thinks of himself alone"
(ne songe qu'a lui). Gambetta then asked Bourbaki
whether, if he offered him a command, he would accept
it, and give his word of honour as a soldier that he would
loyally serve the Republic. Ile said he would. On being
asked whether he would accept the command-in-chief of
all the French armies, ho declined, but said he
thought ho might be useful in the north. Thereupon M.
Gambetta, who knows that generals cannot be improvised,
and was anxious to secure the services of a man of Bour-
baki's valour and capacity, resolved to trust him.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION IN BELGIUM.

M. Fancies plan for establishing compulsory edu-
cation in Belgium has been published. It is resolved
that all children shall receive primary instruction in
a public or private school, or at home, from the age
of seven to thirteen, and that the parents or
guardians shall be responsible for the execution of
the scheme. The communal administrations are to
furnish the list of children who are of a suitable ago
for instruction. An examining committee is to test
the capacity of the children who leave the primary
schools in order to ascertain if they have received a
proper elementary elucation. Those parents or
guardians who neglect to conform to the law will
be fined, or in extreme cases be imprisoned. Those
who have been condemned three times on the charge
of contravening the law will forfeit all claim to
public assistance. Should the child be frequently
absent from school during the course of the primary
instruction, he will be compelled to remain a cor-
responding period after the age of 13 years. All
artisans or heads of establishments and manufactories
are forbidden to employ children under 13 years of
age during the hours set apart for instruction. A
system of half-time will be adopted in those places
where it is necessary for children of that age to be
employed.

FRENCH FASHIONS IN ENGLAND.

A social tragedy, very frequent in Franco, has j ust
occurred at Redhill, and it is to be hoped it will not
lead to many imitations among half-crazy young
people who think suicide romantic. A young man
and woman, named Robert Walker and Helen Mason,
have destroyed themselves by taking sufficient prussic
acid to kill twenty people. Acting with all due pre-
cision and forethought, they left a joint note,
bearing their signatures, in which they ex-
plained that "being tired and weary of life,"
they had "reasoned the matter over between
themselves," and agreed to share the same fate.
Having determined on this rational proceeding, the
man went to a chemist's shop for two pennyworth of
prussic acid to clean gold lace. He was refused under
the new Aft of Parliament, which requires a witness.
An instance of the extraordinary folly and heed-
lessness of some persons and of the difficulty
of providing practical guarantees by Act of
Parliament, was given in the evidence. A
man named Crouch was looking in at the window
of the chemist, when Walker, whom he had never
seen before, came out and asked him to officiate as a
witness. He did so, and signed the book. As it
happened the shopman knew Crouch, he gave the
poison without suspicion, the terms of the Act
being complied with. The jury censured
Crouch for signing his name without know-
ing what it was for, and the coroner
refused his expenses. The incident, however, should
put shopmeu on their guard, and suggests the pro-
priety of asking such witnesses a few questions. The
couple who were "weary of life," strange to say,

were sober and peaceable, did not want for money,
and bore good characters, having not long left a
house in which both had situations. The young
woman was only 19, and neither of them appear to
have possessed 711C213 sana in corpore sano.

LIBERAL SOIREE AT BRISTOL.

A Liberal soir6e was held at Bristol last night, Mr.
Morley and Mr. Hodgson, the city members, being present.
The former, referring to the Continental war, said Eng-
land was interesting in preventing France from being re-
duced to a third-rate Power, but she needed guarantees
for her conduct in the future. He believed the youngest
among them was not likely to see a renewal of war after
the present one was settled. He hoped England would
not rush into an enormous expenditure under
panic. He believed England was never safer
from invasion than at the present time. Her army and
navy were never in better condition. Mr. Hodgson said
England had never stood higher in the estimation of con-
tinental nations, though some persons made persevering
efforts to persuade people to the contrary. The Crimean
War he considered a gigantic folly, and assured his con-
stituents that they would not find him an earnest advo-
cate for war in the East. Mr. Gilpin, M.P., hoped that
it would be ,the expressed sentiment of England that she
would have no more war on behalf of the Sick Man of
Turkey.

THE IRISH LAN!) ACT.

One of the subjects comprehended in Lord
O'Hagan's address, at the annual meeting of the
Statistical Society in Ireland, is the Irish Land Act.
The Lord High Chancellor, on this topic, remarks
that the deed accomplished has evoked powers and
established principles which must vitally influence
the future of generations of Irishmen, and the
character of such influence will, he says,
depend in a great measure on the spirit and
the purposes with which they aro now launched
into action. So far its real value and the great
issues to which it tends have not been adequately
understood by the majority of the people. It is the
duty of all good men, even if they disapprove of the
change in any way, to see that the Act be not barren
of the vast advantages which it may afford to the Irish
agriculturist, if only he be induced to understand
and utilise its beneficent provisions. His lordship
cannot well conceive agraver social responsibility than
that of the man who should strive to make poor
people ignore or contemn, and so unfortunately lose,
an opportunity of prospering in their own land such
as was never vouchsafed to them before. Certainly,
if anyone has reason to complain, the tenant should
not be taught to do so. He gains advantages of a
substantial kind, whilst in some material respects the
landlord will labour under disadvantages. The latter's
compensation, however, will come, the Lord High
Chancellor thinks, from the improved circumstances
of a settled state, in which his social and proprietary
interests will be in a greatly improved condition
but if complaint should be heard from anyone, it
might be expected more reasonably from him.

IMMIGRANTS IN CANADA.

The Incumbent of St. Paul's, Clerkenwell, has just
returned from a visit he has paid to Canada in order
to ascertain the position of the emigrants who were
assisted out by the mother country during the past
two years. The rev. gentleman says the great
majority of the immigrants are doing well—
some very well. A few have failed to
improve their condition, but the incumbent
attributesthis circumstance to their own folly. Canada,
he says, never has experienced 'a more prosperous
time than that which she now enjoys. Food and
the necessaries of life are cheap and house rent rea-
sonable. The cost of living is less than in England,
and families are able to have a meat meal twice or
thrice a day. Having travelled 6,000 miles, the
incumbent of St. Paul's is satisfied that emigration
has proved a blessing to thousands, and its results
amply compensate for the money expended. Eng-
land and Canada are alike benefitted by emigration.

CONVICT RETURNS.

In 1869 the daily average number of convicts in
English prisons was 8,370, being an increase of 592
men and 81 women on the previous year. The most
profitable employments for the male convicts are
quarrying, brickmaking, &o. The women are chiefly
employed in washing. A new manufacture has been
introduced in Fulham and Woking, which consists of
the formation of mosaic blocks for pavements com-
posed of refuse marble. This affords suitable work
for women. A pavement of the Sheepshanks
Gallery of the South Kensington Museum has been
made by the convict women, and they are also
engaged in making a pavement for a church
at Reigate. The police force of London
have been supplied with boots by convict labour, and
the saving of public expenditure thus effected
amounts to £4,930 a year. It was found on calcul-
ation last March, that the charge for each convict
averaged £32, but was reduced to £l2 by deducting
the value of the labour performed. At the end of
1869 there were at large 26,893 male convicts, and
4,161 females. The new female prison at Woking
has been constructed entirely by convict labour. The
directors of convict prisons have undertaken the
charge of 540 military prisoners.

THE POPE.

According to the Provincial Correspondence, Pius
IX. is only prevented from " going on the rampage"
by his own friends. Ile is kept a prisoner, not, as
has been said, by the Italians, but by his advisers,
the Jesuits. "If Pio Nono could do as he chose it
is believed that he would long since have left the
Vatican, and descended into the populous streets of
Rome, where ho would have been enthusiastically
received by his liberated subjects. But Antonelli,
whose brother continues to make money by usury
as the director of the Roman bank, and his
fanatical and hypocritical followers and diplomatists,
do not allow his Holiness to move." This is strong
language of our contemporary ; but if the Pope has
any notion of making a raid in the streets of Rome
it is quite as well that he should be held back. His
advisers may reasonably doubt the prudence or
policy of such a proceeding. They may also doubt
its prospect of success.

SATURDAY'S FIGHT AT SAARBRUCK..

The Prussian correspondent of the Manchester Examiner,
just before starting with a division of the Prussian army
for Coblentz, telegraphs'that great numbers of wounded
arrived in Cologne on Sunday night. Saturday's engage-
ment at Saarbruck lasted six hours. There were six
hundred men hors de combat. The 7th Lancers were
considerably cut up. The French losses must have
been greater. A number of prisoners were brought to
Coblentz.
London, England, 1870-08-05

THE ATTITUDE OF ENGLAND.

The Yorkshire Post of to-day, in an article on the war,
says if this country. is at any time to act with effect, it
can only be done in combination with Russia, and it is
obviously our interest to cultivate a good understanding
with that Power. It is painful to observe the growth of
a warlike spirit among ourselves, and the success
which is accompanying the appeals to the feelings
of animosity which it was believed had become extinct.
It is our duty to be prepared for any emergency, but it is
not our duty to facilitate the approach of a catastrophe
by constantly assuming its probability. And at the pre.
sent stage of thequarrel, with neither party worthy of our
sympathy, and with the knowledge that all our rep., •
sentations have been absolutely rejected by both sides,
every consideration of honour and self-interest requires
us to maintain both in word and deed the most rigid neu-
trality.

THE SICK AND WOUNDED.

A valuable suggestion is made in a letter to the
Times concerning the assistance to be afforded to
the sick and wounded. The writer says very truly
that it matters little to a neutral people whether
Prussians or Frebchmen are in need of help in this
lamentable war. It has occurred to him to solicit
from his friends and acquaintances contributions of
linen rags for conversion into bandages. This rag-
collection may seem of little value here, but
it will be of priceless value on the battle-
field. It is proposed in accordance with
the spirit of impartiality which should prevail,
that this collection should be divided, and half sent
to each camp. Communications on the subject have
been addressed to Count Bismarck and the French
Minister of War. The latter has not as yet replied,
but Count Bismarck has intimated his satisfaction at
the proposal, and declared that any materials of the
said description would be most thankfully received.
Those who would render assistance to the wounded
have thus a favourable opportunity presented to
them, and simple as the work may seem, its effects
will not be small or slight in the estimation of those
for whom it is undertaken.

IRISH SYMPATHY WITH FRANCE.

A. remarkably interesting watering place in the
CountyWicklow—the town of Bray, was scandalised
on Sunday evening by one of those demonstrations of
late so popular among certain classes of the Irish. A.
meeting to express sympathy with France in the
present crisis was announced, and after it was held
an immense crowd accompanied by bands paraded
the streets.: ~The constabulary did not attempt to
interfere till Church hour approached, and then,
fearing that the services might be interrupted by the
noise of the musical instruments, a policeman
accosted one of the leaders of the mob, and while
explaining to him the necessity of quietude and
order, he was struck a terrible blow on the left
temple. Not being seriously injured, the constable
rushed upon his assailant, the drum-major of a band,
and, having captured him, was about to drag him to
the police station, when an attempt at rescue was
made, and a regular tumult ensued. The windows
of the police barracks were shattered; and, subse-
quently, the constabulary were ordered out en masse,
and under arms to disperse the rioters. The drum-
major, it is well to state, is still in custody.
London, England, 1870-08-05

WAR. NOTES.

CAVALRY AND AR riLLERY.—The armament in
which I suspect the French will be found somewhat supe-
rior is in artillery. There is a kind of prejudice against
this arm of the service in the Prussian army, so that the
most spirited and intelligent young men prefer to enter
cavalry or infantry, and the officers are not as a rule taken
from the better classes, though they must of course be
gentlemen. There may be improvements in the projec-
tiles since 1866, but in the war of that year it was found
that a large proportion of shells were blind. The grand
cavalry problem must be solved out of the Palatinate if
at all. Both sides are confident of their superiority, but
the Germans are far more numerous, at all events, and
they have had the most recent experience in working
cavalry, and have in it gained very comfortable successes.

A BOOS FOR TOURISTS IN
NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL,
AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS.
BY EDWARD SPENDER
PRICE 313.

"It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written
Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the
holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively
devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give
the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs,
industries, and institutions of the districts he is exp) 'ring. Fos
intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender s book will
be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com-
pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."—
Daily Telegraph.
"The volume peifectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap
and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting
matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be
useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to
those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a
most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent
and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."—
Yorkshire Post.

"It deserves a welcome, this book we have so long uncon-
sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the
intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether
the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the
happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on
our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembrancer."
—Sun

" Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The
essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but tho
others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all
are written in a genial spirit."—Globe.
" Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur-
poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information,
all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a
line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery
bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the
picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements
prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man-
chester Courier.

" From back to hack Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter
interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is
written in an easy and pleasant style, and is well 'got up.' "
Eastern Morning News. _ _

" We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con-
gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially
is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall,
it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica-
tion to the general public. . . . As to its literary merits we
need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient
guarantee on this point."—Western Mail.

" The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full
of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants- -
reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

ANGLO-INDIAN APPOINTMENTS.

Two very important appointments will very shortly
be at the disposal of the Indian Government, and
the languor and tedium of life in the topics have
been suddenly roused into energy and interest on the
subject. The Governorship of Madras and the
Lieutenant-Governorship of Bengal are two of
the greatest prizes in the service in respect
to wealth and power, and the successors
of Lord Napier and Sir William Grey will
be, in the estimation of their fellows, very fortunate
men. Among the suggestions made in India is that
Sir Richard Temple should be the successor of
Lord Napier at Madras. Sir Richard, as everyone
knows, has had the fortune, or misfortune, of admin-
istering the finances of the country; but, although
he has been anything but successful as a Chancellor
of the Exchequer, he formerly distinguished himself
as an administrator, He.governed the central provinces
with energy and ability, doing good service to com-
merce and agriculture and encouraging public works,
and, what is more unusual, he displayed considerable
discretion at the Court of Hyderabad, the centre of
Mohammedan influence. Sir Richard's is not the
only name mentioned in connection with the Gover-
norship of Madras, but it is shrewdly suspected that
the Viceroy would be glad to exchange a financier,
who does not know the difference between a surplus
and a deficit, for some less brilliant, but more reliable
arithmetician. Two other names, both wellknown, have
been mentioned in connection with these appointments.'
One of these is Mr. Layard, who is supposed to have
special Eastern sympathies; the other (terrible news
for the temples and cherished relics of au earlier age)
is Mr. Ayrton, whose very matter-of-fact energies
will certainly contrast very forcibly with the ease
and elegance of Indian life.

PROVISIONS OF THE ARMY BILL.

The Army Bill, as it finally went through Congress
from the Conference Committee, provides for a large re-
duction in the number of officers during the next six
months. The grades of general and lieutenant-general
are to expire with Sherman and Sheridan. The number
of major-generals is fixed at three, and of brigadier-
generals at six, and no appointments to these grades
are to be made until, by death, retirement or
resignation, the number is reduced below these figures.
The retired list is fixed at three hundred, and until that
number is reached, officers of thirty years' service may be
retired on their own application and at the President's
discretion. Officers who desire may be honourably dis-
charged prior to next January with one years' pay and
allowances. Worthless or incompetent officers designated
by the General of the Army are to be sent as soon as pos-
sible before an examining board of five, to be appointed
by the Secretary of War, and, on its recommendation, are
to be mustered out with one year's pay, and all such officer
are to be heard in their own behalf before the
board. Vacancies in either arm of the service are to be
filled until next January by appointments from the list of
supernumeraries, having reference to the present rank and
seniority, and at that time all supernumeraries are to
select between going into the grade of second lieutenant
or being honourably mustered out, with one year's pay
and allowances. Retired officers have seventy-five per
cent. of the pay of officers on the active list and are not
prohibited from holding civil office, though those on active
duty are thus prohibited, on pain of vacating their com-
missions. Brevet officers are to be addressed only by their
actual title, and can wear nothing but the uniform of their
actual rank.
