AN INTERESTING BATCH OF EMIGRANTS.

The Earl of Shaftesbury presided over a meeting
at the Refuge for Homeless and Destitute Boys,
when the committee formally took leave
of sixty-five lads bound for Canada. The
chairman began the proceedings by inspecting
the _ "kit" of,. one of the boys. Each wore a
strong working suit of corduroy, and had
in a long waterproof bag, of about the
shape and size of a bolster, a Sun-
day suit, with three cotton shirts, a pair of
thick-soled half-wellington boots to be worn in field
work, and other necessaries, which will enable the
youngsters to keep a decent appearance until
they are in a position to pay for their
clothing. It appeared from the statement of
the secretary that this was the parent of two similar
institutions formed for the purpose of gathering
homeless boys from the streets and training them to
habits of industry. They had now upwards of 440
boys, and the committee had resolved to try this
year to send out 100 to the colonies. Those now
going out were chosen on account of their uniform
good conduct since they had been in the refuge. The
cost of sending each one would, it appears, be more
than ten pounds.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to establish the
principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and
difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on
voluntary contributions and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition
to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has
for a considerable period averaged between 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent,

the empire has done it has effectually sickened the
people with themselves, and how can we expect the
popular voice to speak out at all under such circum-
stances? Before it came to its own death-struggle
the empire has effectually sucked the life out of
Republicanism, and it has still more effectually
undermined the popularity of an Orleans throne.
Finally, we may consider, says the Spectator, that
the empire by its glitter has so dazzled the French
that anything less glittering appeared vapid to them.
It has taught the people that their power is dangerous
to them; that politics are vanity, that "glory is a
meteor, morality as superstition, and equality a
dream." How can it be expected that a weary and
satiated shrinking from the empire should mean an
honest and earnest preference for anything else.

WHY FRANCE SHOULD MBE PEACE.

rThe Economist, writing before the receipt of the
startling news from Sedan, asks what is the prospect
for France ? The time has come for urging upon all
sensible men that the prospect is utterly hopeless,
and the only thing to be done is to make the best
peace possible. Supposing France to prolong her
.resistance no one can doubt the end who considers
the numbers of the German armies or the capacity
of their leaders. They have forces for every
purpose. Neither Strasburg nor Metz can
hold out long, and then with the railway communica-
tions in the rear complete, and all France to live
upon, the Germans may have if they like a million of
organised soldiers in France. It is very well to talk
of what an armed nation can do, but the Germans are
equallyan armed nation, with the enormous advantage
that they are organised and have put about 400,000
of their enemy's best soldiers hors de combat with
comparatively small cost to themselves. Another
consideration for the French is to what extent can
they hope to beat the Prussians, and at what cost
will they win ? If sober minded Frenchmen calcu-

late what the war will be =lnd what hardships, losses,
disease and sufferings it will inflict they will discover
that after all they will only find themselves, after
some barren victories, where the war began. The
honour of France will be urged, but there has been
no dishonour for France in the present contest ex-
cept that of recklessly beginning it, which was more
the misfortune than the • fault of the principal
sufferers. French troops never fought more splen-
didly, it is only French statesmen and administrators
that are disgraced, but to persevere in the war would
be a crime as great as the original error was great
in beginning it.

LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBIR 5, 1870,

A. REVOLUTION in Paris ! A Republic proclaimed !
Such is the substance of the news which flashed
through the telegraphic wires last night. Although
the telegram containing this momentous intelligent©
is brief in its contents, the action of the leaders of
the revolution is sufficiently traced out to enable our
readers to grasp the full meaning of what forms a
pendant to the tremendous disasters of last week.
A more astounding close to the short, sharp,
daring, dashing campaign of Prussia could not by any
possibility have been anticipated. The Emperor
NAPOLEON'S surrender of himself personally to King
WILLIAM is of itself a scarcely credible coup-de-
tUatre. It comes rather as an anti-climax to the
telegram announcing, not so very long ago, the
EMPEROR'S watchword at Metz when asked to return
from the seat of war to Paris—" Dead or Vic-
torious." The anti-climax consisting in its being
—Neither.

The slaughter that has taken place
during the last few weeks, but more especially
during these last few days, is something horrible
to contemplate. The Germans, all through the
war, have gone in to win, at any and every sacri-
fice. Thrdugh the simple device of pouring in
fresh troops to fill up the gaps perpetually
they have rendered it utterly hopeless
and physically impossible for the French
to obtain the mastery. Out-numbered, out-generalled,
out-witted, surpassed at every turn, in rapidity of
marching, in tIA supply of ammunition, in the fulness
and completeness of the commissariat arrangements,
the French have never had a chance of turning the

ARRANGEMENTS OF THE WAR.

The North German Correspondent criticises the
conduct of the French Government in forming free
corps in France, which are to be dressed in the ordi-
nary blouse of the humble classes, only distinguished
by a cross on the arm, which may easily be removed.
The practical effect of this edict of the French autho-
rities will be that the German trooper will be unable
to distinguish the French soldier from the civilian.
How can he [tell that the man before him in an
unadorned blouse did not wear the cross on his arm
yesterday, and will not resume it to-morrow, or that
the peasant in whose house he lodges may not have
concealed his weapons to murder him when he is
asleep. Should one treacherous blouse-man be de-
tected, the consequences might be fearful to others.

"We know our German troops," says the Comes-
powdetat in conclusion, "we perfectly appreciate their
honour, self-sacrifice, and humanity, but it is the
nature of brave and honest men to haven° toleration
for deception or treachery, and if [the French Go-
vernment persist in the intentions they have an-
nounced we wash our hands of the consequences."

THE OVER LAND MAIL.

Bombay. papers to the 9th of August, received by way
of Brindisi, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, furnish
little news of interest beyond that already forwarded to
Europe by telegraph. The overland summary of the
Bombay Gazette contains the following items :
A letter, received by the Calcutta Examiner from Simla,
states that four butchers have been arrested, and papers
found upon them in reference to a plot for the massacre
of the European residents, from the Governor-General
downwards. The same letter states that the men have
been released on heavy bail. This has not yet been con-
firmed.

It is reported from Bangalore that cholera has disap-
peared from the Lancers. Three men had been attacked
fatally—and these three men had been on duty together
one evening a few clays previous.
The total loss caused to the Indore community by the
late flood is estimated at 2,50,000 rupees. About forty
lives are said to have been lost on the 21st of June, either
by being buried under the falling houses or carried off by
the floo.

Ensign Frederic Martyn, of the 2nd Grenadiers, had
died from an accident at Bombay, and the deaths are also
announced of Surgeon-Major William Peach, M.D.,
Indian Medical Department ; and Lieutenant-Colonel D.
Gaussen, retired list, her Majesty's Indian army.

THE TIENTSIN MASSACRE.

(By British Indian Cable.)
HONGKONG, AUGUST 18.
The negotiations with the Chinese authorities in connec-
tion with the Tientsin tragedy remain in the same posi-
tion, failing instructions from Europe.
A feeling of insecurity prevails at all the treaty ports,
which is increased by this inaction.
The presence of the British and French Ministers, and
the two admirals at Tientsin has quickened Tseng-kwo-
fan, the Governor of the province, in his enquiry regard
ing the complicity of the Tientsin mandarins in the
massacre.

railways. Hungary, has a fine supply, and on the whole
we may belieVe,there is plenty for us to draw upon.
As for the competitors for the purchase;of these sup-
plitzmy, the war lias thoroughly disorganised all credit
and all commercial relations; so that England will
probably become for the time being the entrepot
for the grain trade of Western Europe. Until
affairs are more settled in France, merchants, who
look generally for security before anything ase, will
prefer to make their consignments to England. As
for the prices of the coming year, as there will be
full average supplies and an average consumption, we
may probably be right in expecting average prices.
In short, although in the absence of political dis-
turbances bread is certain not to be dear, neither
must we expect it to be very cheap.
THE DECLINE OF AMERICAN COMMERCE.

The unsatisfactory condition of the American
. Mercantile Marine has recently given rise to a good
deal of discussion in the States. Rightly or wrongly
the manufacturers of America believe that the
European war would afford them an excellent oppor-
tunity for regaining their old position in the carry-
ing trade if they had only ships enough to avail
themselves of it. The Protectionists find it im-
possible to convince their discontented countrymen
by any of their usual specious arguments, but the
Protectionists are still strong in Congress, and the
President, who is too enlightened not to see the
folly and danger of the prohibitory system
could not influence them on the subject.
Very recently Mr. Paul Forbes, a well known mer-
chant, addressed a letter to the Chairman of the Con-
gressional Committee of Commerce, which has
attracted a good deal of attention. America, he
says, could build as good ships as England were the
conditions of the two countries equal. The natural
inequalities may be left to adjust themselves, but the
artificial obstacle arising from the Navigation Laws and
the revenue system are strongly against America, and
must be removed before she can prosper. The restric-
tions imposed by the Navigation Laws are
mainly answerable for the' decay -of American
commerce, since American shipbuilders are
not allowed to import ships from other countries.
Under the almost equally destructive revenue system
they are virtually prohibited from importing shipbuild-
ing materials. The change from wood to iron has
something to do with the relative positions of 'Eng-
land and America, as of course, under the former
system, the advantage was all in favour of the thickly
wooded States ; but the leadimg Americans are too
shrewd and sagacious not to have begun
asking themselves, how it is that England
profits so largely by every opening in her favour, and
how she has been able to keep so easily the tempo-
rary advantage gained by the war. The clue to this
mystery they are beginning to find in free commer-
cial legislation on the one hand and a prohibitory
policy on the other.
London, England, 1870-09-05

tide of war and rolling it back upon their antagonists.
So far as the armies of BAZAINE and MACMAIION are
concerned, the game is played out. So fax as the
Government at Paris is concerned, the first step is
already taken.

Will France respond to the resolve of Paris ? If
she does, the victorious armies of Germany, disem-
barrassed of MACMAHON, will forthwith resume
their interrupted march upon the capital without
fear of further interruption. Upon a vaster scale,
would then possibly be repeated in the
instance of Paris, the horrors witnessed during
these last few days at Strasburg to the
anguish of all Christendom. At Strasburg the
good old bishop has just died in the midst of the
terrible sufferings of the population and defenders of
Strasburg, suffering,which not many hours previously
he had so nobly though so vainly endeavoured to
mitigate. Precisely at this juncture we begin to feel
very poignantly the inconvenience, to employ the
mildest phrase, of her MAJESTY'S absence from the
actual seat of Government. Far removed at Bal-
moral, her MAJESTY can only be communicated
with by her Ministerial advisers through
telegrams, or through some twelve hundred
miles of railway travelling there and back again.

And yet events are taking place fraught with im
portance to the civilized world.

REPRESENTATION OF SHREWSBURY.

For the representation of Shrewsbury Mr. Charles
Cecil Cotes, landed proprietor, Salop, offers himself as
the Liberal candidate. He announces himself as in
favour of the ballot, and expresses his belief that a reduc-
tion of the national expenditure may be effected by a revi-
sion of the taxation without impairing the efficiency of the
national defences. Mr. Douglas Straight, the well-known
London barrister, offers himself in the Conservative inte-
rest.

FAT/a, -ORE IN THE STRAND.
Late on Saturday night a fire, attended with fatal con-
sequences, broke out in Cecil House, Cecil-street, gil.and,
which is let out in chambers. The fire was discovered
about 11.45 p.m., and spread with such dreadful rapidity
that the inmates, who had all retired to rest, were com-
pelled to escape in their night-dresses. We understand
that Mr. Forbes, a gentleman just returned from the
West Indies, is missing, and the worst fears are enter-
tained for him. Mr. Myer, of Dumfries, fractured his
spine in letting himself down from a third-floor window.
He is now lying at Charing-cress Hospital, andis prosper-
ing as favourably as can be expected under the circum-
stances. Two firemen were also injured by the falling of
a wall, and were also taken to the hospital. The house
and contents are insured in the Phoenix.

THE NEW FOREST.

THE EXPEDITION AGAINST REEL.

The national mind has been too much fascinated
with the great struggle between France and Prussia
to pay much heed to matters transpiring in relation
to our own affairs. Some few weeks ago the Red
River settlement was a popular subject of thought,

and to many a very serious question. The audacious
ambition of the French Canadian Riel, asso-
ciated as his name is with tragic circumstances,
occasioned the Government no small concern, and
with the view of restoring peace and order and
reducing Riel to submission, an expedition was orga-

nised and despatched to the settlement. The result
makes one inclined to laugh. The expeditionary
force on arriving at its destination found that the
bird had flown. Riel, in view of the overwhelming
strength of the expedition, seems to have dee med
discretion the better part of valour, and bolted, as the
telegram says. There is now a probability of a
firm and equitable rule being established at the
settlement, and if Riel should escape capture, there
will be no need to regret the trouble and expense his
freaks have entailed if good government be the ulti-
mate result.

A LAMENTABLE CASE.

Some years ago a barrister named Sloane and his
wife (were found guilty and sentenced to two years'
imprisonment for having ill-treated a girl then in
their service. By many the circumstances of

the case will have been forgotten, but an inquest
which has been held recalls the facts, and discloses
a melancholy sequel. Within a short period of his
liberation, Mr. Sloane died of a broken heart. The
degradation he had suffered was too much for
him. His wife, too, found the stigma hard to bear,
and, in order to escape recognition, she assumed the

name of Stanton. She appears to have become
greatly reduced, and at the time of her death she
had nearly exhausted the source of her income. She
was found lying on the kitchen floor in an insensible
condition, and foaming at the mouth. • The medical
testimony went to indicate that the deceased died
from apoplexy. She was 65 years of age, and the
poor creature appears to have had an overwhelming
sense of the disgrace which attached to her and her
husband's name. Mr. Sloane strongly protested their
innocence.

THE COUNT DE FLAHAULT.

The death of the Count de Flahault, who has
during a long life filled a prominent position among
the soldiers, diplomatists, and statesmen of France,
will occasion very general regret among the upper
classes in this country. Born in 1785, he entered
the army at the age of 14, having, even in those
early years, passed through some tragical vicissitudes,
since his father, one of the ancienne noblesse,
perished on the scaffold during the Reign

of Terror. The young Count was brought up
in the country, where his family had taken refuge,
but from the early age at which he was enrolled in a
cavalry corps, we may presume that his military edu-

cation was chiefly acquired in the hard school of
practical service. He could have had none more
favourable to distinction, for his first essay in arms,
was made at Marengo, under the brilliant general-
ship of the young First Consul. Afterwards at
Austerlitz, Jena, and Wagram, he played a promi-
nent part, being first aide-de-camp to Murat,
the most famous of the cavalry leaders,
and, after Wag am, colonel and baron of the
empire. All through the Napoleonic campaigns he
was on active service, and fought staunchly even
through the disastrous Russian War. At Leipsic he
was promoted to a generalship of 'division, and though
like most of the great Emperor's military chieftains,
he recognised the Provisional Government of 1814,

ho rejoined his old commander after the hundred
days, and fought with him at Waterloo. The Res-
toration sent him to Switzerland and afterwards to
England, where he married the daughter of
Lord Keith. In 1830 he was restored to
his peerage and his rank in the French army,
and successively filled the post of Ambassador
at Berlin, Vienna, and London, adapting himself
readily enough, it would seem, to the changes of
dynasty. While at St. James's the Count de Fla-
hault was greatly liked and respected. His wife,
who succeeded to the barony of Keith in her own
right, was also deservedly popular. His eldest
daughter became Marchioness of Lansdownein 1843.
Count de Flahault died at the PalaCe of the Legion
of Honour in Paris, being Grand Chancellor of that
illustrious order.

up a murderous fire upon us. Our line decreased
more and more. Waldersee, therefore, sent me in search of
artillery. I found it at St. Ail, and brought it up. As I
was returning to our post I met our brave Count Walder
see, his saddle streaming with blood, yet he declined my
offer to take him from the field. I rode on to present
myself to Major von Rosenberg, as commander of the
regiment, but he had already been wounded and taken
from the field ; neither could I find Prince Salm, as he
was at the head of the battalions ; so Major von Behr
took the command. We did not fail to arrange our men,
but the never-ceasing balls made great havoc in our line.
In the meantime the twilight fell ; the whole country was
enveloped in smoke through which the setting sun shone
like a red ball of fire. One could not see a single enemy
but the fire was continued on both sides with the same
bitterness. Our left wing (the 3rd battalion and part of
the 2nd) advanced, destroyin everything before it,
towards the village of St. Privat, whilst the rest of the
Ist battalion covered the artillery, and for that purpose
continued firing. The men of the 2nd and 3rd battalions,
with the Kaiser Franz Regiment fighting on the left of
us, and the Saxons who were at the extreme left, took
the village and scattered the enemy from house
to house. The slaughter was great; but the vic-
tory was ours. The darkness alone put an
end to the struggle. We collected as many of
our wounded as possible. Towards ten o'clock the
remainder of our regiment assembled near St. Privat.
The next morning our losses were ascertained—out of 47
officers, 24 were either killed or hors de combat, and
upwards of 800 men. A sad feeling crept over me at the
sight of our glorious regiment. IV.k.y best friends and
comrades dead and wounded. The day after to-morrow
we hope to be or our way to Paris to settle with the
Bonapartes and the Chauvins. C. vox S.

LIEBIG COMPANY'S EXTRACT OF MEAT.
FOUR GOLD MEDALS.

Supplied to the British, French, Prussian, Russian, Italian,
Dutch, and other Governments. Dr. Lankester writes
regarding Extract of Meat :—" But there is a difference in flavour,
and here, as in all other kinds o food, it is the flavour that
makes the quality." It is essentially on account of the fine
meaty flavour, as distinguished from the burnt taste of other
Extracts, that LIEBIG COMPANY'S EXTRACT defeated all
Australian and other sorts at Paris, Havre, and Amsterdam, and
is so universally preferred in all European markets.
One pint of fine-fla,mured Beef-tea at 20. Most convenient
and economic " stock."
CAUTlON.—Require Baron Liebig's, the inventor's, signature on
every jar, and ask distinctly for LIEBIG COMPANY'S
EXTRACT.
As stated by the War Office, the assertion of an Australian
Agent of solely supplying the British Government is proved to
be nothing but an untrue statement.
London, England, 1870-09-05

M. Argane brought in a bill calling under arms
all citizens, married and single, between 20
and 35 years of age, and authorising the Govern-
ment to call out all former officers up to the age of
60. Urgency was declared.

PARIS, SEPTEMBER 4, 3.30 A.M.
At 1 a.m. M. General Palikao came down to the
House and announced that a part of Marshal
MacMahon's army had been driven back into Sedan,
that the remainder had capitulated, and that the
Emperor had been made prisoner. He added—" In
presence of this news, it would be impossible for the
House to discuss the possible consequences of the
event. The Ministers have not as yet been able to
concert together, and I ask that the debate should
be postponed till to-morrow.
M. Jules Favre brought forward a motion declar-
ing the Emperor and his dynasty to have forfeited
all rights conferred by the Constitution, demanding
the appointment of a Parliamentary Committee
entrusted with the governing power, and with the
mission to expel the enemy from French terri-
tory, and maintaining. General Trochu in his post
as Governor of Paris.

M. Jules Favre's proposal was received with pro-
found silence.

The Chamber then resolved to hold a sitting to-day
(Sunday) at noon.

THE FEELING IN PARIS.

PARIS, SEPTEMBER 3, EVENING.

The general feeling of the Press, notwithstanding
the heavy losses of France, is that their now suffer-
ing country must make any sacrifice rather than
yield, and that Paris must be defended to the
utmost.

It is stated that Government messengers sent to
the Ardennes on the Ist instant returned without
being able to communicate with MacMahon, who is
believed to be completely surrounded. About 60,000
met, regular troops, are now in Paris.
The Liberte says that Prince Napoleon asked per-
mission to leave Florence and to return to France,
but that the Emperor has not acceded to his request.
This evening's papers have no information respect-
ing the whereabouts of the Emperor and the Prince
Imperial.

AGITATION IN PARIS.

PARIS, SEPTEMBER 4, MORNING.

Much agitation prevailed yesterday evening in
consequence of the news announced by the Govern-
ment in the afternoon, but no disturbances have
occurred.

At 8 p.m. an assemblage of about 6,000 persons
sent a deputation to General Trochu to demand that
he should assume the Government of the country.
General Trochu said he was not in a position to reply
to suoh a proposition, but would fulfil his duty in
defending Paris until death. The crowd received
this reply with shouts of " Abdication ! Abdica-
tion !"

Another assemblage of about 10,000 persons also
sent a deputation to General Trochu with the same
object as the first, and received the same reply with
the cries of "Abdication 1" " France for ever!"
"Troohu for ever I"

The boulevards were densely crowded, but the
people were silent. The approaches to the Chamber
were guarded by a strong force of cavalry and in-
fantry.

BOUILLON, SEPT. 2, Evening.

According to a despatch received here, the
German army at the last battle before Sedan was
composed of seven army corps under the command
of the Crown Princes of Prussia and Saxony.
Rumours were current in the German army that
the Emperor had proposed terms of peace.

FATAL RECKLESSNESS.

In a Berlin letter of the Cologne Gazette there is
an important communication which throws some
light on the extraordinary conduct of the Duke of
Gramont in plunging France into a war as unneces-
sary as it has been unfortunate. A private letter
from a wellinformed source in Paris says that the
Duke of Gramont was asked at the French Jockey
Club how it was that he so rashly involved the
country in a war which had brought down such
terrible consequences. The Duke replied that he had
asked the former Minister of War if he was ready,
and he replied that he was more than ready.
" But for this," added the Duke, "I should have
taken care to avoid a contest which might have been
avoided in twenty different ways." The German
jortynab think, with some reason, that this looks as
if the French Government declared war because it
believed itself to be ready, and hoped to catch its
enemies napping. According to this mode of argu-
ment, had no Hohenzollern candidate intervened, any
other pretext would have answered the purpose as
well.
London, England, 1870-09-05

THE FRENCH ARMY.

Unaware of the fact that a Republic had been pro-
claimed yesterday at Paris, the Standard puzzles itself
with conjectures this morning as to what will be the con-
sequence of the Emperor's surrender. What next? it
says, is now the question. Is the war virtually at an
end? Is France now lying a helpless corpse beneath the
heel of the invader, or will she continue the struggle, and
by pure obstinacy wear out the strength of the Prus-
sians ? It depends in great measure on the behaviour of
Paris, and also on the appeararce of some man capable.
like Carnot, of organising victory. France has plenty of
combatants, many of them old soldiers, and a still larger
number possessing a certain tincture of drill and dis-
cipline. What the country requires at this moment is not
hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but one general of
skill, reputation, and character, one able to inspire
confidence, and with sufficient firmness to enable him,
like Durnouriez in 1792, to bide his time. After all, what
is the actual result of the struggle hitherto, and what is
the present state of affairs? About 200,000 French sot-
diers have been killed, captured, or placed hors de combat,
and, what is more serious, the gain of a terrible prestige
by the Prussians. As to numerical losses, the French
army, including the Garde Motile, and excluding the
Garde Nationale Sedentaire, numbered a few weeks ago
about 1,200,000 men. There remains then nearly a mil-
lion of soldiers available if only an able organiser anti
leader can be found. As to the organiser, Comte Palikao
seems to give good promise, ard General Trochu has long
been regarded as one of the most able soldiers of France.
He, three years ago, disclosed, in no ambiguous terms,
the defects of the French military system, and did his best,
though with but slight effect, to call out the nation from
the fool's paradise in which a long series of successes in
war had plunged it. He recognised the disease, perhaps
he may be able to apply the remedy. Time will shew.
As to the resources to be rendered available against a
Prussian advance on Paris, we learn that 200,000 of
the Garde Mobile are to be summoned to Paris at
once, that an army of 100,000 regular soldiers has during
the last ten days been forming at Lyons, and that on the
2nd and 3rd 50,000 troops, under General Vinoy, left Paris
to join MacMahon. They must have learnt the surrender
of the army at Sedan in time to avoid capture, and will
serve to form the nucleus of a new army, the most judi-
cious position for which would be at Rheims.

detective agency.
