THE PUNISHMENT OF ADULTERATION.

Some time ago a circular was addressed by the
Foreign Office to the British representatives abroad,
requiring information as to the practices of other
countries with regard to the adulteration of food.
From the answers which have been returned it

appears that the systems in. operation in the Conti-
nental States are framed much upon the French
code. In the cases of persons adulterating alimentary
substances for, sale, and persons selling them knowing
them to be adulterated, fines ranging from fifty
francs to five hundred francs may be imposed,
accompanied by a term of imprisonment varying
&Ali three months to two years. Where dealers
without "legitimate excuse" shall be found to have
in their business establishments any adulterated com-
modity, a fine of from 16 to 25 francs, and an impri-
sonment of from six to ten days, or either punish-
ment, is the penalty imposed upon the offenders ; and
in the event of the adulteration being proved detri-
mental to health, the fine may be augmented to 50
francs, and the imprisonment extended to 15 days.
These penalties may be doubled on a repetition of
the offence within a period of five years of the first
conviction. The particulars of the offence are adver-
tised at the expense of the offender. In Paris the
Conseil de Salubritt, and similar bodies in the depart-
ments, composed of physicians, engineers, &c., are
appointed to watch over the sanitary welfare of the
community, and to conduct the scientific processes
subsidiary to the police regulations. The iniorma-
tion from the United States is very valuable. It
seems that the State legislation varies, some States
possessing no legislation at all and others inflicting
severe penalties.

THE NATIONAL GUARD IN PARIS.

From the diary of a besieged resident published in tha
Daily News, dated October 28, we extract the following :
—The National Guard in Montmartre and Batignolles
have held an indignation meeting to protest against their
being employed in the forts. A law was passed on August
10 calling under arms all unmarried men between 25 and
40. In Paris it has never been acted on ; it would, how-
ever, be far better to regularly enrol this portion
of the National Guard as soldiers than to ask for
volunteers. As long as these " sedentary'! warriors can
avoid regular service, or subjecting themselves to the dis-
cipline and the hardships of real soldiers, they will do so.
Before the Pantheon, the mayor of an arrondissement sits
on a platform, writing down the names of volunteers.
Whenever one makes his appearance, a roll of drums
announces to his fellow-citizens that he has under-
taken to risk his valuable life outside the ramparts. It
really does appear too monstrous that the able-bodied men
of this city should wear uniforms, learn the goose-step,
and refuse to take any part in the defence within shot of
the enemy. That they should object to be employed in a
campaign away from their homes, is hardly in accordance
with their appeal to the provinces to rise en masse to defend
France, but that they should decline to do anything but go
over every twelve days to the ramparts, is hardly fighting
even for their own homes. Surely as long as the siege
lasts they ought to consider that the Government has a
right to use them anywhere within the lines of invest-
ment. They make now what they call military prome-
nades, that is to say, they go out at one gate, keep well
within the line of the forts, and come in at another gate.
Some of the battalions are ready to face the enemy,'
although they will not submit to any discipline. The
majority, however, do not intend to fight outside the ram-
parts. I was reading yesterday the account of a court-
martial on one of these heroes, who had fallen out with his
commanding officer, and threatened to pass his sword
through his body. The culprit, counsel urged, was a
man of an amiable, though excitable disposition ; that
he u is the father of two sons, had once saved a child
from drowning, and had presented several curiosities to a
museum. Taking these facts into consideration the Court
condemned him to six days' imprisonment, his accuser
apologised to him, and shook hands with him. What is
to be expected of troops when military offences of the
grossest kind are treated in this fashion ? I know myself
officers of the Garde Mobile, who, when they are
on duty at the ramparts, quietly leave their men there,
and come home to dinner. No one appears to consider
this anything extraordinary. Well may General Trochu
look up to the sky when it is overcast, and wish that
he were in Brittany shooting woodcocks. He haA
undertaken a task beyond his own strength, and beyond
,t he strength of the greatest General.that ever lived, ,

THE COMIC SIDE OF THE' PARIS
TUMULT.

, The Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall oaz6tte
observes that the tumult of Monday in the capital had
altogether more of a comic than a serious side. M. Jules
Ferry closed the lips of one of the most energetic denun-
ciators of the Government by reminding him that a
fortnight ago he had made humble application
for a place. While Flourens was thundering
away against General Trochu and M. Jules Favre, and
the men of Belleville had mounted on the table to witness
the effects of their hero's harangue, the Governor of Paris
contented himself by simply pushing away the dirty boots
which soiled his uniform, and the Minister of Foreigi
Affairs occupied himself with drawing geometrical figurjs
on a sheet of paper by his side. At one period of the
afternoon Ledru Rollin, Delescluse, and Felix Pyat were
themselves arrested in the Hotel de Ville, while on their
way to an interview with the Minister of Public Works,
whom they proposed electing President of their
Commune ; and Blanqui, the prime leader Of
the movement, tells in his own newspaper, La Patrie
en Danger, the woes he endured while endeavouring
to overturn the Government of National Defence. Hp
wished to rejoin Flourens, who, it seems, was in another
part of the Hotel de Ville. While passing through an
apartment on his way to his colleague, he suddenly found the
door closed upon him and himself surrounded by a crowd
of " roactionnaires " belonging to the 17th Battalion
these gentlemen assailed him not merely with strong
language but hard blows, tumbled him overa table, hustled
him into a Corridor, where he sank down almost inanimate
his clothes well nigh torn to pieces. "It has always
been the privilege and the glory of reaction-
naires," remarks he, " to murder the defenceless
and the aged ; the sergents of Pietri were sur-
passed." Before such a spectacle, however, a few hearts
relented, he tells us. He was carried downstairs, wheie
he was recognised by some of Flouren's sharpshooteri,
one of whom demands the reason of his being in custody,
and was almost strangled for his pains. Thereupon
,a
comrade fired off a revolver without hitting any on 'e,
which put the "reactionary " National Guards to flight.

BREACHES OF PROMISE.

How is it that season after season as the law
courts open, the actions for breaches of promise of
marriage, never seem to grow less in number,
and that the men as usual, are the parties
who appear to have failed to gain experience from
the past, and to have still persisted in getting into
perilous toils, and winding up an engagement with a
broken vow? "If a man gets into a scrape of this
sort," says Mr. Baron Martin, " he must look at it
in the face," but the question why men incur
the cost and trouble of looking so ugly a
business in the face at so late period as they do, is a
question that must, we fear, remain inexplicable,
unless we excuse the bachelors by saying that men
will ever be more prone to make fools of themselves
in affairs of the heart than act as prudent and faithful
Benedicts. On Saturday two cases of breach of
promise were heard in the Court of Exchequer. In
the one, the defendant, a young farmer, who was
eventually directed to pay the fair plaintiff £250
damages, tried to exonerate' himself by saying that
"he liked some one else better." Now this man
was, we presume, right in throwing up a love that
ho saw would result only in disappointment, but
why, we ask, could he not have had sense to see
such misery in the future before he put the all im-
portant question P Skilled as he no doubt was in
watching his crops from the time he placed the seeds
in the ground till they appeared above it
and promised a good or a bad return, this young
farmer, one would have thought, should have had
more foresight in another matter of hope and impor-
tance coining under his cognisant©. In the second
action a paymaster in the Royal Navy, "in conse-
quence of his mother's reluctance to his suit, and
because he was deficient in means to keep a wife
properly," broke off his engagement. The Judge
thought, as any equably-minded person might, that
the hero in this instance should never have propose I
to the plaintiff, knowing " lie was deficient in means
&c.," and so damages of £3OO, by consent of the dis-
appointed lady, were recorded against the gallant
tar.

faithful addresses have been given.
During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly
every week in some of the most frequented districts of the
metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen ones.

To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are
earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John

THE OPERA COMIQUE.

The management of this new theatre seem fully alive
to the charm of novelty, inasmuch as a change has
already been effected in the programme. Last night,
Mdd►e. Dejazet appeared in a fresh role, the play selected
being "Le Marquis de Lauzun," a two-act comedy by
M. M. Carmouche and Vermond. A piece thoroughly
characteristic of the French stage, with sparkling
dialogue, little plot, and less scenery, and evi-
dently written to bring out the especial powers
of the actress, and sacrificing all other con-
siderations to that end. Mdlle. Dejazet sustains no
less than five different characters, appearing succes-
sively as Traveller, Professor, Sportsman, a Timid Boy,
and finally as The Marquis. Her performance was
excellent throughout, and making allowance for the
thinness of her voice, the song of "La Chasse " could
not have been better rendered, whilst her singing in the
love-making scene was enthusiastically encored. In the
conduct of the present series of French plays at this
house the management might borrow a hint from
the Italian Opera, where books are furnished with
the Anglicised version of the piece produced ; and if
this plan was carried out at the Opera Comique, the per-
formances would doubtless be patronized by many English
families who are not thoroughly au fait with the French
language, but who, under these circumstances, could not
help enjoying an .evening at this, the prettiest theatre in
London. " The Marquis de Lauzun " was preceded by
" Une Mauvaise nuit est bienfOt passee," and followed by
" Une tas.se de The."

METZ.

The French displayed the same remarkable self-
confidence and neglect in respect of Metz as in all
other matters connected with the campaign. The
fortress was not victualled until the last moment, and
then the work was imperfectly done. Nobody
on the French side deemed it possible
that the Germans should get into France,
and therefore it was deemed superfluous to prepare
Metz for a siege. The Fort it was expected to play
was that of an outlet for a rush on Germany. Says
the correspondent of the Cologne Gazette : The ramparts
of Metz are so gigantic, the numerous fortifications so
formidable, that an enemy taking up a position in
front of its walls could barely make the necessary
preparations fbr entrenching itself and sustaining the
siege in less than four weeks, and a fortress, the 'gar-
rison of which cannot hold out even during this
short space of time without having recourse to their
own horses for food, is no longer a fortress.

THE FIGHTING BEFORE PARIS

The correspondent of the Daily News, writing from the
Head-quarters of the Crown Prince under date October
31st, says : There has been a sharp fight at Le Bourget, a
village to the north-east of Paris, between St. Denis and
Aulnay les Bondy. It seems that on the evening of the
29th ult. the French sallied out mid occupied this village,
which is au important point to hold for the defence of
the Fort d'A.uhervilliers. On the 30th ult. the
Prussian Guards, who are stationed in that part
of the line, retook Le Bourget with heavy loss, capturing
at the same time a large number of prisoners—as many
we hear as twelve hundred, with thirty officers among
them. At least three Guard regiments were engaged,
and the struggle must have been severe, since the French
had had time to throw up some light earthworks to
strengthen their position. They are said to have fought
with singular desperation, at first, and gradually to have
got into the confusion incident to raw troops. I fancy,
however, that the confusion is so taken for granted by the
Germans that it would be noticed in almost any retreat
of their antagonists, and the best proof that the French
were roughly handled remains in the fact of the number
of prisoners taken. Wo cannot doubt after such

,zfforts as the sorties of October 21st and 29th, to the
south-west and north-east of the city, respectively, that
General Trochu is inclined to carry out the programme
contained in his letter to the Mayor of Paris, and to
snake vigorous attacks wren he can do so supported
by a formidable artillery. On October 21st the
French advanced under cover of not only of the guns of
Mont Valerien, but of some forty field pieces dragged
Into action at every risk, and on the 30th ultimo they
must have received great help from their artillery to in-
dict so much loss upon the besiegers. Suspicious as one

always is of mixing two figuies of the same value
lest they should be but a fact and a repetition of
the fact, there is reason to think that the number
thirty represents the Prussian officers who fell, killed and
wounded, at Le Bourget, as it does the number of French
officers who were captured in the second day's fight. The
Guard regiments had a hard task, and behaved with the
utmost gallantry, pushing on in their final attack with a
resolution which nothing could check.

rorts. The position was worth nothing in a
military sense; but the Crown Prince thought that
German honour would be compromised if it remained
in the hands of the French. The Guards were
ordered to retake it. The general in command re-
presented that the recapture would be costly, for the
French had erected strong fortifications. The Crown
Prince was not persuaded. The second division of
the Guard. was sent to storm the place, after
it had been subject to a very severe cannonade,
but it seems the fire had little or no
effect The Guards were received by a most terri-
ble fire from houses, behind walls, the railway,
and barricades, but pressed on in the most splendid
manner, carrying house after house, and fighting
their way through every lane, over every barricade,
till they cleared the town, and took 30 officers and
1,100 men prisoners. But the German loss was
extremely heavy, and there is great mourning over it
in the camp. The French, on their side, com-
plain that the force in charge of Lo Bourget was
left unsupported, whereas had they been
properly backed up, tie Guards would have been
repulsed—of which there is doubt.

NON-DELIVERY OF TELEGRAMS.

A case of public interest has been tried at Dublin.
Mr. Kavanagh, a solicitor, sought to recover from
the Postmaster-General a sum of money as recom-
pense for injuries sustained through non-delivery of
a telegram. Last August the plaintiff was in

Tramore, and he telegraphed to his clerk not to
insert in the papers certain election advertisements.
It was admitted that the message arrived at
Dublin, and that the address was correctly given,
but owing to the blundering of a boy who was en-
trusted with the message, it was delivered at the
wrong office. This miscarriage occasioned conside-
rable annoyance and expense, and Mr. Kavanagh,
inasmuch as his client refused to pay for the unne-
cessary advertisements, corresponded with the
authorities, with the view of obtaining compensation.
After great delay, he was favoured with an order for
ls., the cost of the message ! For the defence it was
urged that the Post Office officials, being servants of
the Crown, could not be held responsible for damages.
The Recorder was of opinion that extraordinary neg-
ligence had not been proved, and even if such had
been proved, he had not the power to allow damages.
The case will be prosecuted in another direction.

THE NEW LORD MAYOR-THIS DAY.

The Lord Mayor, sheriffs, aldermen, and other members
of the Corporation of the City of London proceeded in
state to the Guildhall for the purpose of taking part in
the ceremony of swearing in Mr. Alderman Dakin as
Lord Mayor of London, and inducting him in his new
office. The usual preliminaries having been gone through,
the Lord Mayor divested himself of his chain of office,
and conferred it upon Mr. Alderman Dakin, who then
took the oaths and made the customary decla-
rations. He received the congratulations of his friends,
and was loudly cheered. As soon as he had been
formally installed, the various members of the Corpora-
tion who held their offices from year to year, approached
the Lord Mayor and gave up the insignia of their respec-
tive offices, which his lordship was pleased to restore to
them. The ceremony attracted many visitors.

Recovery... •..

The report of the United Mexican Mining Company,
to be presented on 9th inst., shows a loss of $,3,066 on the
old undertakings, and that $17,578 has been expended in
opening ont the new property.
The manager of the " London Suburban Bank
(Limited)" writes to say that the new petition presented
for winding up the establishment is like the previous one,
wholly without ground.
It is stated ;,that lan invention of importance will be
brought before:the Society of Arts on the 21st of December
for a new method of lighting itowns, factories, private
houses, railway carriages, &c., by vegetable and mineral
oils, by Mr. Albert Silber.
Berger, Spence and Co.'s weekly report says : Towards
the close of last week we had to report that scarcely the
amount of trade had been done in chemicals generally as
had been transacted in the three weeks previous. Since
then, however, the market has recovered its elasticity and
firmness—largely augmented prices having been quoted
for forward contracts—and as paper makers have a pro-
spectively good trade before them, no reduction can be
anticipated. In minerals there has been the usual
demand, both hematite and oolitic ores maintaining full
prices. There has been a little more liveliness exhibited
in the metal trade during the past week, and it is to be
hoped this may prove the premonitory symptom of a
general improvement. Scotch and Cleveland pig irons
aro selling moderately, and copper is in good demand at
stiffening prices. Tin remains quiet and unaltered; but
in lead a good business is doing, and slightly better prices
are obtainable. Spelter continues dull and neglected.

TIIE MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN ITALY.

The Italian Ministers are in great perplexity as to
whether they should summon Parliament imme-
diately or dissolve it and have new elections. The
Government has promised to introduce a law
respecting the guarantees to be offered to the Pope.
Were the law presented to the actual Parliament
the Ministry would incur a serious risk—in fact, they
would, in all probability, be overthrown, and men
who do not reflect the opinion of the majority of the
country would come into power. It is said, with
every appearance of likelihood, that the intended
guarantees are to this effect : That all
political authority of the Pope and of the
Holy See in Italy be abolished. The Pope will be
perfectly free in the exercise of his ecclesiastical
rights, and will enjoy, as the supreme head of Catho-
licism, all the honours and prerogatives of a sove-
reign. A territorial immunity will be accorded to
the Holy See. All Italian and foreign prelates, car-
dinals, bishops, and all ecclesiastical orders will enjoy
a perfect immunity in the seat of the Supreme Head
of the Church. The Papal legate and the Papal
envoys will be treated as ambassadors belonging to
foreign sovereigns. Italy will look upon the

Pope as a foreign sovereign, and he will be
honoured as such all over the country. The
apanages for his Holiness and his Court will be
provided by Italy. . She will likewise assume the
debts contracted to the present day by the Papal
States. Italy is disposed to guarantee the liberties
of the Church and the independence of the Pope,
sanctioning them by international treaty. The Pope
will be at liberty to travel over the country, or to go
out of it. His Holiness and the Church are to
enjoy lull liberty for all that concerns the publica-
tion, in the residence of the Holy See, of all the
personal dispositions, and those regarding the Coun-
cil, in order to avoid a conflict between Church and
State.

THE ENGLISH AN]) GERMANS IN PARIS.
The panic among the English residents and tourists in
Paris, says a letter dated the 11th, has reached its culmi-
nating point. The British Embassy is literally besieged
by persons in quest of passports, so much so that the sup-
ply of them yesterday was exhausted, and a fresh order
had to be sent to the printers. It is generally anticipated
that all Germans will be expelled from Paris. There are
still about 40,000 in the capitaL The Gaulois says that a
decree has already been prepared ordering them to turn
out within 12 hours.

THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.

There is a great diversity in the statements as to the
whereabouts of the Prince Imperial. On Wednesday it'
wasannouneed that he had returned to Paris.. On Thursday
a telegram from Metz assures us he is still with the Emperor
in that town. Another report, which on Wednesday even-
ing took a very positive form, is that the Prince arrived
on Wednesday in London, and drove at once to the French
Embassy. The precautions which in such a case would
naturally betaken to conceal the Prince's movements render
it, of course, very difficult to ascertain the truth, but
we have high authority for believing that his Imperial
Highness has actually reached our shores, along with a
considerable quantity of jewels and other valuables
belonging to the Emperor and the Empress.—Pull Hall
Gazette.
The Telegraph says it has authority to contradict the
report, which is utterly without foundation.
