THE MARTINI AND WESTLEY-RICHARDS RIFLES.

Section G of the British Association discussed the
merits of the Martini and the Westley-Richards'
rifles, and it may be hoped the opinions pronounced
upon these weapons will influence the Government
in its mannfactiire and distribution of arms to our
soldiers. One speaker pointed out that the position
of the opening lever in the Martini gun was
altogether misplaced. It closed around the small of
the stock, the very part, it was remarked,•which a
soldier required to grasp. The Westley-Richards'
possessed advantakes in its minor arrangements. The
soldier would always have a piece of wood to grasp,
whilst in the case of the Martini-Henry his hands
would be exposed to an iron surface. During the cold
weather in the Crimea the flesh of the hand used to
adhere to the barrel. In the opinion of Mr. Reed,
late Chief Constructor of the N avy, it was clear that
the small bore or long range rifle was the only effec-
tive weapon for warfare. It was objected that the
Martini rifle, so far as the spiral spring was concerned,
was liable to rust, and the lever was placed in such a
position as to prevent bayonet exercise.
London, England, 1870-09-22

" 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 expl Foi
intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spendei '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 perfectly 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 rave 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 remembraocer."
—Sun
" Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The
essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the
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 back Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is 11 of matter
interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is
written in an easy and pleasant styl , 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
gnaranted'on this point."—Western Mail.

COURT-MARTIAL AT PLYMOUTH.

A court-martial, lasting five hours, was held yesterday
on board the Royal Adelaide at Plymouth for the trial of
Alfred Harding, of the Royal Marines, John Pitts, and
Thomas Quin, 411 of her Majesty's ship Dee. The
prisoners were charged with breaking into the spirit-room
of the Dee on the Bth of August. The evidence was con-
fiicting, but, after a long deliberation, all the prisoners
were found guilty, and each sentenced to one year's im-
prisonment at Lewes.

THE RAISING OF THE BALTIC BLOCKADE.
The Consul-General in London for North Germany has
issued the following to the North German Consuls in the
provinces :—" I have the honour to inform you that the
blockade of the North Sea ports has been raised. Be
good enough to make the same known to all whom it may
concern."
London, England, 1870-09-22

NO POST FROM PARIS.

The postal communication between France and
England is at last totally suspended, the Prussians
having cut the Rouen and Havre railway at Con-
flans. An interruption of communication so serious
as this, a writer in the Times points out, is most nu.
common, and is very peculiar when we remember
that never has the intercourse with England been so
lively in the past as at those epochs when France
was in difficulties and England was at peace. One
instance of this is as true to-day as it was
early in 1792. We refer to the enormous influx
of French people into London. Every packet arriving
at Dover, it is said, is actually filled now daily with
a contingent. There is no doubt that during the
height of the revolutionary excesses in France in
1789 and following years, regular communication,
specially postal communication, did not continue,
.but the Paris pipers (which were still published in
the capital, be it remembered) were occasionally
brought to London nevertheless, sometimes by smug-
glers, sometimes by neutral vessels. In other respects,
for a time at all events, reciprocal relations were
cut off. Never, however, has Paris been so com-
pletely isolated from the rest of the world as it is at
the present moment. In all•her past troubles French-
men have sallied out of her walls for the purpose of
coming to England, and Englishmen have wandered
within them to watch the struggle for her liberty,
and even in the days of the First Consul newspapers
were by hook or by crook sent to England. Now
the famous fortifications of M. 'shiers, and the deter-
mination of the enemies without them, have juintly
contributed to make Paris the Bceotia she is to-day..
Thanks to the advancement of science, there exists
a telegraph system in force between the two nations,
but even by means of this, intercourse is rendered dif-
ficult, and probably before long the victorious Ger-
mans will think fit to destroy this last connecting
link between the sympathies of the besieged citi-
zens and outsiders.

THE LATE NAVAL CALAMITY.

Mr. Reed, the late Constructor of the Navy, and
the opponent of Captain Coles's principle of turret
ironclad building, has given his opinion as to the
causes which led to the loss of H.M.S. Captain. As
many have awaited with some anxiety the 'verdict
of Mr. Reed, it may not be uninteresting to re-
peat his views expressed before the British Associa-
tion at Liverpool on Tuesday. His opinion
was that the vessel was lost from a preventible
cause, namely, from the great press of canvas the
ship had to carry, combined with the fault in the
hull of the vessel of having an extremely low side
out of water. Mr. Reed disparaged the theory that
the calamity was to be attributed to accidents of
the moment rather than to any fault in the vessel,
and he supported hisown argument in a confirmatory
manner by directing the attention of his audience to
a series of diagrams, representing what he believed
had been the blemishes inherent in the construction
of the Captain. In the course of his observations,
Mr. Reed paid a high tribute to the memory of the
late Captain Coles. In this gallant sailor the navy
had lost an efficient and persevering officer.

A RAY OF HOPE FOR MANCHESTER.

The Pioneer states that at the last meeting of
the Agricultural and Horticultural Society of
India, some samples of cotton grown at Entally
and Tangra, were laid before the associa-
tion. They were furnished by Mr. Galstier, who
said that his garden contained two thousand
plants, all in full bearing, and more promising
than the crop which produced the samples he had for-
warded. " Lower Bengal," he continued, "has never at
any time, had a fair trial for cultivating cotton, although
natives in several districts grow it in small patches for
their own consumption, but none for exportation. From
inquiries I am fully convinced that, under proper care and
management, Bengal will be found to be suitable for the
growth of the finest cotton in India, and in any quantity;
and: should I be favoured with the assistance from the
public and the Government, which I am about to solicit, I
will within three years, God sparing my life, prove that
Lower Bengal alone can export at the least 200,000 bales
of cotton annually of the best and cheapest description the
English market can ever wish for."

NOTTINGHAM.

It is believed that Colonel Wright, the Conserva-
tive member for Nottingham, will issue his farewell
address in a few days. The local politicians are get-
ting plenty of candidates ready for the event. It is
expected that a Conservative will stand, though the
name has not been announced. The Liberals have
invited Mr. T. W. Evans, the Mayor of Derby, who
sat for South Derbyshire from April 1857 until
November 1868, when he was beaten by the Conser-
vatives, Mr. Rowland Smith and Sir Thomas
Gresley. On the death of the latter, Mr. Evans
tried again last January, but was once more
defeated by Mr. Wilmot, both contests being
very close. South Derbyshire has evidently deserted
her ancient love, and now Mr. Evans will try Not-
tingham. The Independents of the borough, with
strange notions of the fitness of things, have invited
two candidates—Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Digby Sey-
mour.

EAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for etowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted 'n the present building.

SHORT SUMMARY OF THE POSITION
OF THE

PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY
62, Ludgate Hill, London, E.C.

Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's.
The Annual Premium Income of the Vompany, at the
close of 1.68, was £220,978 Os. 10d., and the Total Amount
Assured £4,832,197.
The Business is divided under two heads:-
Ist —The General or Ordinary Business, being the
same as that transacted by other Companies.
2nd—The Industrial or Working Class Assurances
The Premium Income of the General
Business was £52,432, and the sum Assured
£1,662,960. The present value of the lia-
bility of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per
Cent. Tables, throwing off the entire load-
ing. wm £139,322 15 8
The Premium income of the Industrial
Branch was 164,546, the sum Assured
£3,169,237, and the Estimated Reserve...... 50,000 0 0

£[S 322 15 8

The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does Lot admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very lark• proportion of
Policies which constantly la) se, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 14
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.
The Assurance Fund on Slst Decem-
ber, 1868; was £241,301 12 4
The average duration of the whole of
the Industrial Policies was considerably
under three years.
The average ago of the Assured in the
Industrial Branch was 19 years.
A detailed List of Assets can be had on application.'

zs-oniviClf.

What is called a political revival is on foot in Nor-
wich. The local wire-pullers are looking out for
candidates. Sir R. J. 'Harvey is talked of as the
Conservative representative, whilst Mr. J. H. Tillett,
who lost the contest in November, 1868, is looked
upon with favour by the Liberals. Why an election
for Norwich? Well, the return of Sir H. Stracey,
the Conservative member, was petitioned against,
and he was unseated in January last. Since then the
privilege of Norwich to contribute towards the
gathering at St. Stephen's has remained in abeyance.
The local politicians think this hard. Their
doings in November 1868 were only mild for Nor-
wich ; if the enormities of former years were over-
looked, the peccadillos of the last general fight ought
not to be heavily visited. They are, therefore, in
hopes that the writ will soon be issued. It will be
well for them not to be too confident.

TIDE SAN DOMINGO TREATY.

It seems by news from Washington that the treaty for
the annexation of San Domingo has been definitely con-
cluded between President Grant and President Baez. The
governing motive for the acquisition of San Domingo by
the United States, is its geographical position as a means
of national defence, as well as its general maritime advan-
tages. Some Senators assert that San Domingo is
as important an acquisition to the States as Cuba,
and that the one will lead to the other. The following are
the principal items of the Treaty. 1. The United
States stipulates to pay the sum of $1,500,000. 2. This
money is to be devoted to the liquidation of all the obliga-
tions of the republic, including the redemption of its cur-
rency. 3. In case the obligations exceed the sum specified,
the public lands of SmiDomingo are to be pledged as
security. 4. The obligations are to be liquidated by com-
missioners. 5. San Domingo cedes to the United States
all forts, docks, custom-houses, public buildings, arsenals,
&c., and complete jurisdiction over the territory. 6. San,
Domingo to be annexed as a territory, not as a State, and
to be subject to the legislation of Congress in the same
manner as the territories of the United States. 7. The
treaty to be valid when ratified by the Senate of the
United. States, and confirmed by a vote of the majority of
the citizens of San Domingo.

ANOTHER, LP.ISII M.P. UPON FIXITY OF TENURE.

It is somewhat difficult to keep pace with the
overflowing amount bf expressions of opinion
upon the land question. It may briefly
be noted, however, that the Earl of Hunt-
ington, Mr. Bagwell, and Mr. Henry Matthews,
MT., have agreed to attend a tenant-right meeting
at Dunpryan (county Waterford) the -prospectus of
which includes fixity of tenure. Mr. Edward de la
Poor, one of the county members, was also asked to
attena ana sign a request calling the meeting, but he
wrote a letter declining the invitation. "My reason,"
he says, " is that the requisition recommends fixity of
tenure, which would, h my opinion, most decidedly
interfere with the rights of property. It is hardly
necessary for me to add that a fair tenant-right bill
—one that, while protectin:, the tenant in his just
rights; does not interfere with those of the landlord—
will have my strongest support."

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

When M. Guillotin introduced his invention to
the French National Assembly, he said—" Gentlemen,
by my instrument I will whisk off your heads in an
instant, and you will feel no pain." Doubt-
less decapitation has its advantages as a
method of inflicting capital punishment, but
there is a certain undefined horror connected with
it which will ever prevent us from adopting it in
preference to our present mode of execution.
Hanging (says the Scotsman) is an ancient
practice. We hear of it amongst the Jews,
and far back in the mists of the Homeric ages
we read of the twelve faithless handmaidens of
Penelope who were hanged at the suggestion of
Telemach us. Criminals were first hanged in England
about 1241 A.D., though different, and in some cases,
very brutal forms of execution were practised
after that date. There is little doubt that if
properly performed, and according to the rules of
science, as little pain attends death by hanging as
that accompanying death by the guillotine. We
have seen occasionally how the clumsy or uncal-
culating conduct of the executioner has inflicted
needless suffering on the criminal; but in every case
this may be avoided, and in the cause of mercy must
be avoided, by a careful attention to those details, of
an unpleasant nature to enter upon, but which impe-
ratively call for due consideration on every occasion
when the last sentence of the law is to be carried out.

A SALVAGE SUIT.

Sir It. Ph tll imore gave judgment on Tuesday in an appeal
from the C ity of London Court, which involved a ques-
tion in salt' age eases. The owners of the Queen Victoria
had been e pployed to render assistance to the Aztia, and
were nonsuited on the ground that there was no danger to
the vessel, and,':,hat an agreement made had not been suc-
cessfv7. His 'lordship said it was a mistake to suppose
that a verse! must be in danger to entitle salvors .to
compensati olt, that because an agreement could not be
carried out 4 so remuneration was to be awarded. In this
case, from, a tempest; it was impossible to take the ship to
Harwich.4nnd she proceeded to Gravesend. He should
award Sr, to the salvors and costs. Mr. Butt asked for
leave to; appeal to the Privy Council. Sir H. Phillimore
said ho had. considered the matter. and should not grant
an appeal.

BRISTOL.

The Hon. F. H. F. Berkeley, the member for Bristol,
and one of the oldest members of the House of
Commons, is about to retire. Mr. Berkeley was born
in 1794, and has sat for Bristol since 1837. He is
well known for his exertions on behalf of the
ballot. Regularly every year did he bring up his
motion on this subject; but it seems that he will
quit the parliamentary arena before his policy pre-
vails. Mr. Robinson, a paper manufacturer, Mr.
Lewis Fry, a solicitor, and a member of the Berkeley
family, are each spoken of as the Liberal candidate.

AN IRISH ROW.

At Bow-street Police-court, this day, a tall Irish-
man named Burns was charged with a violent as-
sault on two men named Flynn and Peacock. The
parties all appeared with their heads done up with
sticking-plaister, and it appeared to have been a
most sanguinary encounter. A number of witnesses
on both sides swore the direct opposite of each
other, some stating that the injuries were inflicted
with a chopper and the others that no such weapon
was used. The defendant proposed to call the door
of his room as a witness—(laughter)—but the
magistrate said he did not require its attendance.
After a great deal of conflicting evidence the magis-
trate said he should send the case for trial. The
court was crowded by the denizens of Little Wyld-
street, who exhibited the utmost interest in the
matter.

A RUMOUR FOR NAVAL OFFICERS.

The rumour respecting the Duke of Cambridge having
turned out to be untrue, it may be hoped for the sake
of naval officers that the report alluded to by the
Pall Mall Gazette is unfounded also. Our contem-
porary says that a feeling of disappointment prevailed
at the professional clubs on Monday, in consequence
of a rumour that the scheme of naval retirement,
propounded by Mr. Childers with the sanction of his
a illeagues, had not met with the approbation of the
Treasury, on account of the largeness of the sum
(exceeding £1,250,000) required to carry it into
execution. "The report (remarks the Pall Mall
Gazette), may not be true, but it met with general
belief." The Echo says positively that this rumour
is untrue.
London, England, 1870-01-26

FIJI.

The Fiji Times contains particulars of ,the niurder
of three white men, and the drowning of two hundred
and fifty naives. Captain Field, of the Mary Anne
Christina, arrived at the Island of Poree some time
ago, and was informed that the captain and first mate
of the French barque Morea, and Mr. Latten, who was on
board, had been murdered, and that the greater part of
the savage murderers, in trying to swim ashore, were
drowned. Mr. Latten had transhipped from the barque
Annat about eighty natives, and had entered into a sort of
partnership with the captain. The crew of the
barque were natives of Tahiti, and took no part in the
murders. The second mate, who escaped the savages by
hiding below, was left on board, and the vessel may yet
turn up, if he understands navigation. Captain Field is of
opinion that the chief part of the abovemaybe relied on, as
he had one of the natives on board his vessel, and cross-
examined him.

The 'ship Herald, which left Cardiff for Rio Ja-
neiro on the 23d of December, has been abandoned in a
sinking condition at sea. The captain and eleven of the
crew have been picked up and landed at Gibraltar, but a
boat which contained the second officer and thirteen men is
missing.

The wife of Mr. Taylor, a commercial traveller,
has been burnt to death at Barton. She was lying on tho
floor in an unfurnished house with her feet towards the fire,
when her clothes caught in a blaze. The family had only
just got into the house, az:4,llor, furniture had n9t Or'

NEW FOAM OF IDIOCY.

It is a charity to hope that a certain person who
is guilty of a disgraceful hoax in London is insane.
Some madman or heartless idler has taken to the
amusement of sending cheques for large amounts to
the metropolitan charities, the bank upon which the
cheque is drawn holding no corresponding account.
A cheque of this kind for £l,OOO was received at
King's College Hospital, duly acknowledged in the
Times, and rejected by the Bank. Another for an
equal sum raised the hopes of the St. James' Diocesan
Home Committee, until application at the bank
undeceived them.

FOREIGN NOTES

THE SPANISH ELECTIONS.

The results of the second day's elections at Madrid and
in the provinces seem to have been generally favourable
to the Monarchists. At Madrid, on the third day,
the votes were 19,018 for the Marquis Perales, and 15,559
for Senor Guisasola. The Correspondencia anticipates
the election of three Absolutists (General Cabrera being
among them) four Republicans, and nineteen Monarchists.
The result of the elections in Murcia is not yet known.

THE AUSTRIAN MINISTRY.

A telegram from Vienna states that rumours were
current of serious dissensions between Count Beust
and tho members of the Cisleithan Cabinet respecting
the speech made by the Chancellor in the Chamber on
Saturday. It was subsequently stated that harmony was
restored, and the reorganisation of the Cabinet was ex-
pected to take place at the end of this week.
London, England, 1870-01-26

THE CENSUS OF 1871.

Dr. Begg, of Edinburgh, urges that at the approach-
ing census of 1871 some attempt should be made to
gather information which has been hitherto neglected.
A. project was set on foot in 1861 to get an account
of the number of persons belonging to the
various religious denominations in the kingdom.
The proposal, however, met with great jealousy.
But why not take an educational census of some
kind ? There might bo difficulty in such a scheme,
says Dr. Begg, and no doubt there would be ; but the
information would be extremely valuable if it could
be got. Dr. Begg recommends another useful and much
more practicable collection—a return respecting the
state of the people's houses. This has been done in the
case of Scotland, and the following was the curious and
instructive result :—llouses without windows, 7,904;
houses of one room, 220,723; of two rooms,
240,601; of three rooms, 75,933; of four
rooms, 37,180; of five rooms, 19,980; of
six rooms, 15,278; of seven or more rooms,
37,101 total houses in Scotland, 066,786.
These details are not only very instructive,
but Dr. Begg assures us that they gave a great im-
pulse to social and sanitary improvement in the
city of Glasgow. It would be an excellent thing,
he says, to extend the plan to the whole kingdom.
*The worst of it is that in such a place as London
the return would afford no clue to the condition of
the people. There the houses have "rooms" enough,
truV ; but the disgrace is that several families in-
.:abit one room which is not fit for any human beings
whatever.
