THE IRISH PRESS.

The Dublin illornmg Mail regards•the Second Empire
as doomed, and considers the decline of the Emperor's
power as dating from the moment when he listened to the
particular advisers of the Empress. The Irish Times, re-
ferring to the inactivity of the French fleet, suspects that
a cold reception awaits the Admiral an his return to
France, should he not retaliate in kind for the destruc-
tion of French towns. The Freeman's Journal contains a
letter from the Secretary to the Empress, dated Tuesday,
and conveying her Imperial Majesty's thanks for the press
donation of £4OO, for the relief of the French wounded,
and for expressions of attachment to France and to the
Imperial family,

BLOC ADE OF THE NORTH
Gazette, G
published GERMAN POlasEit'S.ln
night,
a supplement to the London
it was announced that the commencement of the blockade
of the ports, harbours, and creeks of the North German
Confederation, by the naval forces of his Majesty the
Emperor of the French, in the Baltic Sea, dated in effect
from the 19th day of August, and that the previous
announcement of the 15th day of August, as the date of
the commencement of the blockade, was erroneous.
COMMUNICATION WITH FRANCE. The report
brought to Dover by the mail-boat on Tuesday afternoon
that the passenger traffic from Paris to Calais had been
interrupted and cut off is, we are happy to say, an ex-
aggeration of the facts. The facilities for passenger traffic
are diminished and are liable to further interruptions, but
passengers in considerable numbers are still using this
route: The report also from Dover that the tidal boats
between Folkestone and Boulogne will be discontinued
from the Ist of September is incorrect. The tidal
services via Folkestone have been slightly interrupted in
consequence of the great traffic on the French line
near Paris, but the boats have performed their
passages as usual between Folkestone and Boulogne,
`and will, at least for the present, continue to do so.—

JEOPARDIZED CATHEDRALS.

The Telegraph gives expression to fear for the cathedrals
of four towns—Strasbourg, Rheims, Metz, and Paris.
Of course the besiegers will not point the guns at the
towers, for Germany would unite with the whole
civilised world in the denunciation of such vandal
ickedness. But, as we see from the siege of
Strasburg, the best of artillerists cannot ex-
actly circumscribe the range of havoc wrought by his
projectiles. A stray shell may shatter to atoms the deli-
cate lacework of Strasburg spire, or smash the magnifi-
cent stained glass of Rheims. Either of these towns
may be set on fire, and, as the old St. Paul's
of London attested, flames do not spare the
mightiest creations of the architect. Or when the
towns are bombarded at night, and when the 'shells are
pitched half at random, the great churches may be made
a mass of ruins before the • besiegers find what havoc they
have wrouglit. And whatever mischief may be done to
Rheims or Strasburg is done for ever. Money and
skill, it is true, might repair the rents in towers, or even
cunningly imitate the soft and sombre glory of oriel
window ; but, after all, the result would be only
patch-work, and only imitation. The value of Rheims
and Strasburg springs in great part from the fact that
they link the present to a darkly remote past, of which
they are the saintliest symbols, and of whose holiest
longings they give the most vivid revelation. We prize
the temples of mediaeval religion, not merely because
they bear the stamp of incomparable beauty, but be-
cause they wed us to the past by the tie of consecration.
Their beauty we might copy ; their wealth of historic
links we could never produce. If Westminster Abbey were
levelled to the ground we might rear a building exactly
the same in form, and give it even the mellow hue of age ;
but, although we could reproduce the grand sweep of nave
and rich beauty of arch, the structure would not be the
Abbey of history—the coronation and the resting place
of our Kings the Church which is sanctified
by the dust of the greatest among Englishmen.
As the holiest symbols of a great past, the Gothic cathe-
drals stand under the guardianship of civilisation itself,
and hence the whole world of educated and religious men
looks with dread to the desolation which war may work
at Strasburg or at Rheims.

A GERMAN PLEA FOR -GERMANY.

Max Muller has written to the Times to vindicate
Count Bismarck and the Germans from the charges
which have been brought against them with respect
to the Secret Treaty. He maintains, against Sir
Harry Verney and- everybody, that since 1866 Count
Bismarck's policy has been patriotic and peaceful, sans
reproche, though, no doubt, also sans pear. Professor
Muller considers that the times we live in are cri-
tical, and he who embitters one nation against
another incurs fearful responsibilities. England is
neutral, and as yet the people have maintained
a dignified attitude. But to be neutral
does not mean that one is to surrender the right of
judgment, and England has pronounced her opinion
on the war in no uncertain tone. All have agreed
that the war is unprovoked, and in history such an
epithet changes war into brigandage. Germany was
threatened, insulted, invaded, and the people of
Germany have risen to repel the invader. In con-
clusion, Professor Milner declares that England and
Germany should love each other.. If Germany con-
quers, a •new era of peace will dawn on
Europe; for Germany, if once united, would tole-
rate no war of conquest. An army in which every
second man is the father of a family is the best gua-
rantee for the peace of the world. In the whole
history of modern Europe, England and Germany
have never been at war, and he feels convinced they
never will be.

A GERMAN REPUBLICAN.

While all. eyes are turned in the direction of
Germany, and when there seems good reason to
look upon a German Empire as at least a possibility,
the ❑ews reaches us of the death of a well-known
popular leader, whose aim was very different from
that of Bismarck. Gustav von Struve, who has just
ended his daysat Vienna, was one of the foremok men
of the party who endeavoured to establish in Germany
a Democratic Commonwealth on the Swiss principle.
Like many others of his school, he prove]. the si•i-
cerity of his convictions by the sacrifices he made
for them, and the sufferings he underwent on their
behalf. He belonged to an aristocratic family, and
held a post at the Frankfort Embassy, but surren-
dered everything to his views. He was imprisoned
in the fortress of Rastadt, with Karl Blind and others,
in the subterranean casemates, and it is said that the
harsh treatment he received laid the foundation of
the disease to which he has now Allen a victim.
A fter being released from prison, and exiled from
his native country, Struve went to America, where
he fought in the civil war on the side of the Union.
Since then ho has returned to Germany and devoted
himself to literature, in which he was a proficient,
having published several works on public law and a
universal history. He died, seeing his dream of a
republic as far from realisation as ever.

GAIETY THEATRE.

The entire change of performance at the Gaiety has
resulted in the greatest success. Notwithstanding the
excallence of the acting of Mr. Morris the Anglo-Dutch
performer, as Peter Spyke, an additional attraction was
required, and this has been effected by the production of
Offenbach's comic opera " Barbe Bleue." Mr. C. Kenny
has prepared the work for the English stage, and on the
whole the work has been performed in a satisfactory manner.
The principal part, Boulette, is sustained by Miss Julia
Matthews with more than ordinary effect, and her
greatest admirer could searcely have predicted the success
she has achieved by her spirited rendering of the character.
Miss Losiby as Flourette also deserves the highest
commendation both for her singing and acting, and
Miss Tremaine as the imperious Queen, Clementina,
shows rapid progress in her profession. The Blue Beard
of Mr. Beverley is not perhaps quite so good as it ought
to be, but doubtless the novelty of his position at present
somewhat interferes with his real abilities. Mr. J. D. Stoyle
as the King infused great spirit into the part, and Mr.
Perrini as Oscar sang the music with much taste and
effect. We must not omit a word of praise for. Mr. A.
Cook, who, as Popolani the sorcerer, contributed greatly
to the success of the piece. The opera has been most
sumptuously put upon the stage ; every detail has
been attended to and carried out with the most
lavish expense. The scenery, dresses, and appointments
are all exceedingly bright and beautiful, and the whole
production is one that entitles the management to the
greatest praise, The opera is undoubtedly the best thing
that has yet been given at this elegant theatre, and a long
and highly successful run will certainly be the reward of
the energetic lessee and manager.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The fireworks this evening

THE INSURRECTION IN ROUMANIA.

It appears by intelligence from Bucharest that the
revolutionary party in Roumania took advantage of
the withdrawal of the garrison from the town of
Plojeschti, to .organise an outbreak. The malcon-
tents are strong in that town and in Crajova and
Piteschti, so the opportunity was thought favourable
to dislodge Prince Charles and establish a republic.
The insurgents seized the public treasury
and telegraph office in Plojeschti, and, being
encouraged by the National Guard and the
firemen, they paraded the streets, proclaimed the
republic, and established a Provisional Government,
M. Golesco, the late Minister President, being at its
head. This state of affairs was not of long duration,
for troops were sent from Bucharest, whom the re-
publican heroes were not disposed to face, and
accordingly they took to flight. M. Golesco and
several others were arrested. Another insurrection
has taken place in a different direction in favour of the
ex-Prince Couza, but this also was suppressed with-
out bloodshed, so that if Prince Charles cannot
flatter himself that he is very popular with all
classes of his subjects, at all events he has not much
difficulty in disposing of his troublesome rivals.

AFFAIRS AT ROME.

The Roman police have redoubled their vigilance
respecting the coming and going of,ltalian travellers, even
of those who only pass through the Pontifical States and
do not alight at Rome unless for refreshment. They are
watched into the refreshment-room, and no communica-
tion with them is permitted. Two steam vessels built at
Toulon for the Pontifical Government inspect the Tiber
day and night. That part of the river which is between
the fort St. Angelo and the Abattoir is the object of
the closest scrutiny. At night all private vessels
must be moored to' the Rifetta, quay at the side of the
town on the left bank of the river. The patrols examine
the fields that stretch along the right bank at all hours of
the night. Fifty Legionaries and ten French Zouaves,who
were permitted by General Kauzlerto return to France be-
fore their time had expired, because they insisted on going
to fight for their invaded country, have *left Rome. All
the French soldiers of the Papal army who belong to the
class of 1870 are recalled to France. The Minister of War
has telegraphed orders to all the garrisons to forward to
Rome all the men included by this law
whether or no they have completed their engagements,
and notwithstanding the dispensation granted by Marshal
Lebeeuf, L'qsservatore continues to give a pretty faithful
account of the incidents of the war. The statement is
confirmed that Cardinal Antonelli sent it a severe warn-
ing on the representation of M. de Banneville.

TWO VERY OBNOXIOUS CHIEFS.

It is a matter of surprise to some business men
that England or some other of the powers do not
see the advisability of doing something with
Oko Jumbo and Ja Ja, two native authorities
who have been disturbing the peace of
a large tract of country in Africa, and
destroying its trade for nearly three years past.
Every mail from the Cape . brings intelligence of
fresh acts of slaughter or outrage perpetrated by one
or other of these rival kings. Their conduct, it is
said, is causing traders in large numbers to leave
the Opobo and other rivers, where commercial inte-
rests ought to flourish if peace prevailed. Ja
' Ja has, it appears, recently fortified himself against
the attache of Oko Jumbo by a battery of Arm-
strong guys, but even this defence has not led the
latter to believe in the fruitlessness of his antagonism.
It would be well if these African desperadoes were
taught, once for all, to respect the importance of
forbearance and tranquility to the civilisation
and safety of a country, from which &England has.
already had large returns for any care -she has given
to it.

square, which was for many years the residence of Charles
Dickens, before he settled at Gadshill, is among the pro-
perties offered for sale.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Although the French and German authorities have
placed impediments in the way of the transmission
of manuscript from the seat of war to English news-
papers, the English public may be very grateful for
being enabled to read every morning even the corn-
paratively late intelligence which can be furnished
for them. During the Peninsular and Waterloo
campaigns a fortnight or three weeks was the usual
interval between the transmisssion and the receipt of
the formal dispatches that were then suppliel for
English readers. Even when the news came, so
businesslike and official was it that many people,
after perusing it, were not quite sure whether the
narrati':o of the great Duke, who was, however, sup-
posed never to fight in vain, told of .a
victory or not.
Things were altered when our soldiers, with the

French as allies, went to the Crimea; and it was in
this war that special correspondents were first ordered
to accompany the armies. The feverish impatience
with which English readers in the summer months
of 1854 watched morning after morning for news was
the result of the system of supplying true descriptive
accounts of the movements in the field ; and yet the
enthusiasm and anxiety then exhibited were as
nothing to what it is in these days. Railways or
steamboats were not then plentiful, and telegraphic
communication was not easy ; nevertheless, it was
acknowledged that the transmission of intelligence
was so well and so rapidly accomplished, that
Balaclava was brought, practitally, nearer to Eng-
land than Oporto forty years before. -Strategically
considered, it may be wise to prevent information
being circulated in the swift way that it can be
now-a-days. English people, spite of this,
would hardly think it just or merciful
if they should be kept as ignorant as
the French are now of the proceedings in • the field,
if their relatives were risking their blood and their
lives.- in the great struggle. As the English forces
are not engaged in this war we, however, need not
grumble because we hear of battles a few hours or
even days later than we might. In justice to British
journals, it must nevertheless, be remembered
that the delay in getting news does not
arise from any inactivity on the part of those writers
who have been sent out, and have endured much to
procure it.

WAIL WITH PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS.

The North German Gazette refers to Prince
Joinville's letter approving of the conduct of the
civil population of Weissenburg in firing on
German troops, and is very indignant with the
writer. It declares that if private persons take ad-
vantage of every opportunity they may have to take
part in military combats, the consequence will be
that private property will no longer be respected by
the soldiers. A return will be made to the system
of war making which prevailed in the middle ages ;
the route of an army will be marked by plundered
towns and burning villages. Instead of the com-
paratively humane course which is now pursued, we
should witness a renewal of the mediaeval horrors
which our enlightened age has sought to diminish,
and suffering and disgrace to the world would
result.

AID TO THE SICK AND WOUNDED.

A meeting was held in the Sheffield Town Hall yester-
day for the purpose of devising means for succouring the
wounded on the field of battle. The subscription list is
being well filled; and the funds are to be forwarded to the
National Society.

A meeting called by the Mayor of Bristol, • composed
of ladies and gentlemen, was also held yesterday
in that town, for the purpose of affording relief to the
sick and wounded in the war. It was resolved to estab-
lish parochial organisations throughout the city and
neighbourhood, so that a complete canvass might be
made. Already over £5OO has been sent to the Mayor of
Bristol, besides large sums collected in churches and
chapels. The wholesale druggists have resolved to send
large quantities of material, which the Midland Railway
Company will convey free.

FORMATION OF A SCHOOL BOARD FOR
SHEFFIELD.

A special meeting of the Sheffield Town Council was
held yesterday, and steps were taken to secure the for-
mation of a school board for the borough.

DISTURBANCES AT SHEFFIELD.
There was a disturbance at New Whitting, near
Sheffield, on Tuesday, arising out of a dispute as to a right
of way through some property belonging to Mr. William
Fowler. A number of men broke down a gate; but were
driven back by 100 men, some of whom were armed for
the purpose of protecting Mr. Fowler's property. In the
fight which ensued several were injured. The police were
powerless against so many.

THE CITY OF BOSTON.—ACTION FOR LIBEL.
The action for libel, in which Messrs. Inman and Co.,
owners of the City of Boston, sought to recover damages
from Mr. B. G. Jenkins, law student, on account of a
letter in the Times, saying the vessel was overloaded, ter-
minated this evening in a verdict for the 'plaintiff
damages £250, by consent. The case has lasted two
days.

At the meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce
yesterday, it was resolved again to memorialise the
Government to issue an order in council for the pro-
hibition of the export of munitions of war.
At the half-yearly meeting of the West Cornwall Rail-
way Company at Penzance, yesterday, Mr. Jose presiding,

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 Anisterdam, and
is so universally preferred in all European markets.
One pint of fine-ilt,,ured Beef-tea at 21d. 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.

THE NEUTRAL POWERS.

me Vienna correspondent of the Eastern Budget
says that the significance of the fact that an agree-
ment has taken place between the two Powers whose

mutual distrust has hitherto given the Prussian
Cabinet such confidence, will certainly not be under-
rated at Berlin. A ring of neutral Powers is forming
around Prussia, which must check any plans of con-
quest. The Germans had. been led to think that

Russia was sure to- support the policy of
Prussia, but it will be quite impossible
for them to believe so any longer. Besides
this, the whole of Germany blight decline to
support Prussia in any defiant policy, such as the
annexation of Alsace and Lorraine. The Russians
would certainly resent such an act, and regard it as
the prelude to an attack on the Baltic provinces.
The whole of the Russian press has assumed a
decidedly anti-Prussian tone, and it has asserted that
Russia could not support the policy of Prussia unless
Austria's co-operation had been obtained. If the
Russian Cabinet has joined the- other neutral
Powers, it has but obeyed the dictates of public
opinion in the country. The true state of the case is mis-
represented by the Prussians in order that they may
sow distrust among those of the Austrian nationali-

ties who would be inclined to fear that a common
action with Russia might lead to a reactionary
policy. This view finds very few supporters, how-
ever, and most people recognise the truth that the
policy of self-protection animates both Austria and
Russia in their respective schemes.

PERILS OF ENGLISHMEN IN FRANCE.

Some writers in the Times give a description of
the hardships which Englishmen have to endure who
brave the perils of a visit to our French friends in
the present unfortunate state of affairs. Whether
they are provided with a passport or not, they run
groat chance of being arrested. One of the travellers
in question was furnished with a passport direct from
the Foreign Office, but, upon reaching Montes, he
was seized by two gendarmes and marched off to the
chief magistrate. He was taken to Paris and con-
ducted to the Prefecture of Police, where he was
cast into a prison cell, having been deprived of his
money, watch, and papers. He remained there for
five days, being treated all the time like a " gaol
bird." His thanlis•are due to Lord Lyons for the
zeal he displayed in effecting his liberation. Hie 4
sufferings during his imprisonment were great, and
to this day he remains in ignorance of the cause
of his arrest. Another writer states that he
has just returned from Paris, which looks beautiful.
The other night he was walking down the Rue
Rivoli when he heard some one muttering behind
him, and looking round saw an ouvrier who was
carrying a bundle of wood. Not liking his appear-
ance the traveller quickened his pace, when he re-
ceived a tremendous blow on the head
from behind which sent his hat rolling
on the ground. Quito bewildered by' the
suddenness of this attack, he turned and
found the assailant hissing out " Pruss-ss-ien," and
corning on again with his bundle of wood:raised.
He knocked the man down, and the next moment
gained the darkness and the labyrinths of the Palais
Royal. He believes that the feeling ,of ex-
tends to the English as well as the Prussians. The
French rabble cannot endure that Albion should see
them mortified and humiliated, and they want " to
have it out of some one."

WORCESTERSHIRE AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

The annual show of this society was opened at Kidder-
minster on Tuesday, and prizes to the amount of £845,
open to all England, were competed for. The prizes
were given for horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, imple-
ments, and miscellaneous articles, and there
was also a horticultural exhibition, for which a
liberal list of prizes was provided. The entries
were less numerous than last year, but the show as a whole
was of a high class. The Hereford cattle were short in
number, which is partly accounted for by a good
number having been bought for exportation at the
Oxford show. A prize of £2O for the best animal in
the various Hereford classes was awarded to Mr. T.
Rogers of Coxall, Brampton Bryan. The short-horn
beasts included some fine beasts, and for the best
bull in the short horn classes a prize of £25 was
awarded toa three-year-old exhibited by Lord Sudeley. Of
sheep the Leicesters were small in number, and were a
rather poor competition. The shearling rams in the next
class, long-woolled ones (not being Leicesters), were particu-
larly good; but the theaves and ewes in this class were less
meritorious. The Sbropshires were a fine show, many of
the best breeders being represented. There was a great
uniformity in all the animals shown, a qualification which
has been wanting at some recent shows, not excluding
the Royal. The cross-breds were very indifferent, both
in numbers and character. The horses shown included
some remarkably fine creatures. The first prize for
stallion cart horses was awarded to a splendid cart
stallion exhibited by Mr. W. Wynn, of Cranhill Leys,
Alcester. It has already taken nine first prizes at
various shows. The Earl of Coventry carried off the first
prize of £2O forthorough-bred stallions. Mr. W. Haywood,
Redditch, took the first prize of £25 for hunters equal to
14 stone. For hunters, irrespective of weight, the first
prize of £25 was awarded to Mr. Cotk, of Taddington,
Winchcomb. The first prize of £l5 for the most useful
collection of agricultural implements was awarded to
Messrs. Larkworthy, of Worcester. The weather was
very favourable, and for the first day there was a fair
attendance.

OUR COTEMPORARIES—This Morning

THE STATE OF FRANCE.
The Times once more insists that the most discouraging
symptom in the present condition of the nation is
the lack of intense, feeling that is apparent all around.
Officials may accun3ulate sheep and oxen in the "Bois,"
the bakers may store up flour, and the streets of the
wine-market be lined with hogsheads of wine ; well-to-do
families may provide themselves with provisions : but all
these materials for sustaining resistance must avail little
if the spirit and energy of resistance be wanting. The
worst thing that can happen to France would be that she
should come out of this war with her military prowess dis-
credited and her political regeneration unaccomplished,
audit seems possible that this double misfortune may before
the country. The plans at present favoured by the
Empress-Regent and her advisers point to such an end.
Should the enemy approach the capital, the Empress and
the leading Ministers will retire, probably to Tours or
some other place beyond the Loire, and Paris will be left
to General Trochu. Another step will thus be taken to-
wards the temporary dismemberment of France. At pre-
sent the French nation is in three parts, represented
at Paris, Sedan, and Metz, and the retirement of the
Government from the capital would cut it up into four.
When at length peace may be agreed upon, the fragments
of the nation may be re-united, and all will go on as
before. Such seems the prospect contemplated by
the existing Government so far as it forms a
definite conception of the future, and it is not
impossible that it may be realised. Whether it will
or not must depend upon the effect that may be produced
by the collapse of Marshal MacMahon's army. This
might kindle a flame that would purify France from the
evils that oppress it, as fine gold is tried in the furnace.
But in the absence of such a regeneration following
such a misfortune, the prospect of the nation is unpro-
mising enough to give its best friends grounds foa anxious
disquietude.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Mr. Vincent, of the Royal Institution, calls atoll-
Von to the unsatisfactory condition of most of the
weights and measures in common use. One
fact has come especially under his notice,
and it must necessarily have been ob-
served by many other persons, though probably
few would exert themselves to set the matter right.
Tzadesmen using counter scales, such as butchers,
cheesemongers, grocers, &c., invariably keep a
weight on their scales. When it is necessary ,to
change it, the fresh weight is put on before the
other is removed. Mr. Vincent's observations have
been chiefly made among the tradesmen of the east
end of London, where the people, he emphatically
aids, can least afford to be cheated. The practice,
however, is by no means restricted to those localities,
and •;t is satisfactory to the general purchaser to
know that on removing the weight the draft
has invariably been against the customer. In
one case it required tour penny pieces to bring
the scales to a balance. As the weights are of course
kept on the opposite side from that on which the
goods are always placed, the constant pressure
naturally produces a depression on that side, making
the scales unequal, to the advantage of the tradesman.
Mr. Vincent urges the public to protest against what
he calls " the most common mode of cheating in the
weight."
