PEACE PRESERVATION IN IRELAND.

The moderate Irish journals offer no great oppo-
sition to tho Peace Preservation Bill. Both Govern-
ment and Opposition papers agree in general that the
measure is needed, but differ as to the circum-
stances which have given rise to such a neces-
sity. The Belfast .New Letter is most severe.
It says that the country was peaceable and pro-
sperous under the Duke of Abercorn, and would
have been peaceable and prosperous still, but for
the false hopes excited by Mr. Gladstone. , It
believes the proposed measure will add one more to
the legion of English blunders. In the centre
of rowdyism—Cork—the press spews a very mode-
rate disposition. The Cork Reporter consider 3 that
the spectacle of Mr. Gladstone appealing to Parlia-
ment for powers over and above those provided by
the Constitution is a sad and lamentable one, but it
denies that Mr. Gladstone is to blame. The Cork
Examiner regrets the repressive measures against
the press, but regards the remaining provisions of
the bill as in no way extensive. The Dublin Evening
Post holds that there is no choice between repression
and abdication.

THE GOVERNYRNTAND THE " EDUCATIO:

Tliie Advertiser hints that Ministers are likely to
make a concession to the League. " There is goo
mason to believe that the main difficulty whicl
prevents progress with the Elementary Educatior
Bill, and which has alienated from tin
Government. on this question some. of theh
staunchest and most confident supporters, lint
been overcome by the Vice-President of the ounci:
on Education consenting to alter the objectionable
clause, so that religious instruction shall only tali(
place after regular school hours." This, of course.
gives the Leaguers all that they require. But
whether another batch of "staunch and influentia:
supporters" will regard this change—if it is to bE
made—with satisfaction remains to be seen.

AMBITIOUS FAMILIES.

Tho Dni7y _Yews refers to the assertion of Lord
0. J. Hamilton, that " there are ambitious families,"
with the following bit of information, which may be
termed the retort courteous. TheDulte o fAbercorn, says
our contemporary, is a Knight oft he Garter, has held
the office of Lord Lieutenant 'of Ireland, holds the
Lord-Lieutenancy of Donegal, is a Major-General of
the Royal Archon:, the Queen's Body Guard of
S.cotland, is a Captain in the London Scottish Rifle
N'olunteers, and a Governor of Harrow School.
Three of his sons represent the county of Donegal,
the county of Middlesex, and the borough of King's
Lynn respectively. His brother, Lord Claud
Hamilton, sits for the county of Tyrone,
and has held office as' Vice-Chancellor of
Her Majesty's household. Lord Claud John has
filled the post of a Lord of the Treasury. The
Hamilton family is connected by marriage with the
Dukes of Bedford, Buccleuch, and Marlborough, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, and the Earls of Durham,
Howe, Lichfield, and Mount Edgcumbe.

NEW CHURCH MOVEMENT.

When Convention next meets both Homes will be
invited to consider a petition,. which is being signed
very largely by the laity and clergy, in
.favour of an
alteration in the prayer for the High Court of Par-
liament. The petitioners aver that the title "Most
Religious King or Queen," in the prayer for the
II!gh Court of Parliament, being regarded as out of
place in a prayer to Almighty God, gives offence to
many both within and without the Church of Eng-
land. They therefore pray for its removal.

MEDICAL REFORM.
The Lancet looks hopefully to the speedy intro-
duction and passage of a measure of medical reform
which will put several things right affecting the
medical profession, which a great number Of its
members have long felt to be wrong.
The " nineteen licensin-, bodies " are now
fairly before the public. Things cannot
revert to the status quo ante lellunt ; the
publicity:given by the reports and by the criticism of
the press to the existence and rivalry of nineteen
bodies competing with each other, and, finder
temptation to lower both their examinations and
their charges in order to attract the greatest
number of students, has produced an impression on
the public mind which cannot be effaced. It will now
b 3 demanded that a parliamentary guarantee be given
that a license to practice means acnal fitness for all
the emergencies and responsibilities of a doctor's
life.

plied in the workshops now established in several of the
prisons in England, where the manufacture of various
articles was carried on or in any of them ; and, if it be
true that the goods, or any of them, so manufactured or
hand made, are sold below the ordinary market price,.
thus competing unfairly with free labour.
Mr. BRUCE said in Wakefield it was true that there
was a steam machine ; but the articles made by it were
not said below the market price. In other towns the

articles manufactured were sold to Government.
EXPULSION OF MISSIONARIES.
Mr. JAMES WHITE asked the Under Secretary of State

for Foreign Affairs whether he had received any official
informasion as to the correctness or otherwise of the
statements in the London and China Telegraph of the 7th
and 14th instant of the expulsion by the Japanese autho-

rities of the native Christians from the treaty port of

Nagasaki.
Mr. °TWAY said the statement, he regretted to say, was

correct, and steps had been taken to prevent the occur-

rence. The subject was still under consideration, with a
view of determining the best steps to be taken.

ON LEASES.
Mr. Pier asked the First Lord of the Treasury if he had

considered whether it would not be right, with a view of

encouraging the leasing of land in Ireland, to reduce the

Stamp Duty on all leases under the Irish Land Bill to a
uniform sum, say Is, and further to take means under the

Act to lessen the cost of leases in other respects.
Mr. GLADSTONE said the Chancellor of the Exchequer

was considering the subject, but he doubted whether it
would be possible to reduce the stamp duty on leases as

low as the sum mentioned.
TN F, LICENSING BILL.

Sir ROBERT ANSTRUTHER asked the Secretary of State
for the Home Deportment whether he anticipated being
able to proceed with the Licensing Bill before the Easter
recess.

Mr. BRUCE said he should place the licennce bill on the
table that day week, when he would endeavour' to fia a
day on which he would proceed.

PROPOSED TESTIMONIAL TO THE RIGHT

HON. THE LORD MAYOR.

A movement for presenting a testimonial to the Right
Hon. the Lord Mayor has been formally inaugurated. It
originated with some of his lordship's friends in the ward
of Aldersgate, who entertained the belief that very many
of the citizens would be glad of the opportunity of ex-
pressing in a tangible form their appreciation of the
manner in which he stood up in defence of a principle at
the time of his election as chief magistrate, and also of
the way in which he has discharged his duties during
his year of office. The voice of the livery
in his favour, when he submitted his claims to them in
September last, was unmistakeable ; and the judgment
and sterling common sense he has displayed in his
magisterial capacity, the heartiness with which he has
responded to the many calls made upon his time, and his
earnest endeavours to uphold the rights and privileges
of the office of Lord Mayor, alike entitle him to conside-
ration. At a numerously attended meeting held at the
Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, on Friday, 9th inst., a
committee was formed to carry ouitthe project, and the
feeling was unanimous that the testimonial would prove
to be worthy of the recipient and of the occasion.--7'he
City Press.

THE PREMIER.--Mr. Gladstone was expected t 9
leave town early this morning for Hawarden Castle. He
intends to return on Thursday.
RUMOURED ASSASSINATION OF THE CROWN PRINCE
of PRUSSIA.—A report was current in certainly usually
well-informed City circles yesterday that the Crown Prince
of Prussia.had been assassinated—whether shot by Francs-
tireurs, or the victim of such a special blow as that destined
for Napoleon I. at Schonbrunn, was not stated. We are
glad to say, however, that no confirmation of
this report had, down to a late hour, reached the
Prussian Embassy ; and that most diligent in-
quiries in the quarters likely to know the truth
lend not the slightest countenance to the rumour of an
occurrence which would certainly have had the most de-
plorable consequences on the future character of the cam-
` paign.—Telegraph.

carefully and gracefully done, it was sought further to be
sliewn what future uses were likely to be made of it.
Briefly, the lecturer endeavoured to establish the pro-.
position that imagination of the speculative faculty of
which imagination forms so large a part, is intimatel3rcon-
nected with and employed in all scientific enquiries.
Proofs of this were adduced, and the theory was closely
reasoned out. It was not omitted to be noticed that the
speculative faculty wandered sometimes into regions
where the hope of certainty would seem to be en-
tirely shut out, and it was remarked that it was
only those who knew how to use their liberty
without abusing it, and who were able to surround imagi-
nation by the firm frontiers of reason were likely to work
with profit here. This led the lecturer to comment an
the speculations of Darwin, who, he said, had drawn
largely on the scientific tolerance of his age, and to com-
bat the evolution hypothesis with vigour. The theory,
however, he held was one that need cause no fear. "
it be of God ye cannot overthrow it ; if it be of men it
will come to nought." This faith in the ultimate triumph
of truth should suffice to steady those who are inclined to
dread the consequences of the evolution hypothesis.
Lord Houghton proposed, and Sir John Lubbock
seconded, a vote of thanks to Professor Tyndall.
It was originally intended that there should be no
excursions to-day. There will, however, be one, Mr.
Blundell, of Ince Blundell Hall, having offered to
receive about a hundred members of the Association,
chiefly strangers from a distance, to inspect a somewhat
famous and choice collection of pictures, and rare articles
of vertu, which he has the good fortune to possess. On
Thursday there will be several excursions.

THE DESOLATION OF FRANCE.

The Telegraph, commenting upon the situation, says at
one day's journey from our peaceful and wealthy London
there is a sight to be now seen which would for ever abo-
lish war, if nations were but wise. Metz, Strasburg, and
Sedan have all afforded to the world specimens of battles
and sieges so horrible that one might almost ex-
pect Christendom to agree to make this campaign the
last, as it has been the bloodiest, in history. But it is a
forlorn hope, perhaps, to think that the military passion
in•mankind can ever be cured by horror of bloodshed. The
story of the carnage is told, excites a shudder, and is for-
gotl;en ; the wounded get well or die ; the earth veils
the wickedness of her battle-fields from the sight
of Heaven with grass, with growing corn, and vine-
yards ; after which, when the exhausted nations have re-
covered from the costs of their conflict, new plots and
jealousies set on foot new challenges and mutual mas-
sacres. But, since human life is so cheap, men will perhaps
become some day peaceable for the sake of their property;
and, if so, the sight presented just now around Paris
might well deter Europe from warfare for many a day.
The Parisians have kept their word about rendering the
suburbs of their capital a desert. The belt of inhabited
and cultivated land outside the forts and ramparts has
been devastated by their own hands. We heard from
time to time of the measures taken to bring about this
end ; and now the Germans themselves tell us that all the
important buildings, bridges, manufactories, villas, farm-
steads, barns, and dwellings generally upon the roads to
the city are everywhere destroyed. The wet weather seems
to have prevented the total destruction of the forests
near the capital, but a large extent of these also
has been nevertheless set on fire. The beautiful Bois de
Boulogne is quite ruined, the pretty villas and chateaux
are pulled down. All is desolation and blankness for
miles around the walls ; and, according to the P-ussian
account, the greater part of this self-inflicted mischief is
utterly useless for the purposes of war.
London, England, 1870-09-17

THE PON TIFICAL GOVERNMENT.

The Nazione says that the orders of the Pontifical Go-
vernment have provided for a feeble resistance. But it
is believed that it will be difficult to restrain the foreign
troops who have resolved to fight for the honour of the
army. It is reported from Florence that
the Italian Government is only intent on the
military occupation of the Pontificate. The Pope
is supposed to be unwilling to follow the
advice of the Jesuits who urge him to fly from Italy, and
some say that he will retire into one of his villeggiature,
at Castle Gandolfo. Those who are acquainted with the
disposition of Pius IX and the ascendancy which the
followers of Loyola exercise over him, maintain on the
contrary, that he will follow their advice.

I is announced that Lady Amberley has kindly
offered to women desirous of studying medicine a scholar-
ship of fifty pounds a year, tenable for three years, to be
awarded next month at Edinburgh by competitive exami-
nation.
Last night's Gazette contains the official notifica-
tion that the Queen has ordered a writ to be issued,
summoning Lord Eliot to the House of Peers by the
title of Baron Eliot .of St. Germans, in the county of
Cornwall, and also the official announcement of the return
of Mr. Lee Steere for West Surrey.
The Exeter Gazette understands that the late Mr.
Augustus Stowey has bequeathed the estate and mansion
at Kinbury, as well as the bulk of his great wealth, to
the Rev. G. W. Bampfylde Daniell, rector of Martin,
near Salisbury, upon whose heirs it is entailed. Mr.
Daniell was a great friend of the deceased, and from
childhood they had been almost inseparable. He is a
cousin of Lord Poltimore and Mr. Mark Kennaway, of
Hoopern House. •
M. Chatrian, the well-known collaborateur of M.
Erckmann, was elected the other day to the command of
an irregular company, but had the good sense to hand it
over to an old soldier, who probably knew more of the
matters than the charming writer of " Madame Th4riise,'
" L'lnvasion," " Le Conscrit," " Waterloo," &c.
The official narrative of the battle of Vionville (or
Mars-la-Tour) of the 16th of August has now appeared in
the Staats Auzeiger. It adds little to our knowledge of the
general features of the engagement, which, as is well
known, was fought chiefly by Steinmetz's troops, sup-
ported by parts of the 3rd and 18th corps. The loss was
even more severe than has before been supposed, no less
than 17,000 being the total in killed, wounded, and miss-
ing. And this action was a very partial one compared to
that which followed it on the 18th.

officer, "altogether the impression conveyed by the
appearance of the camp was that it looked like a
cross between that of a series of Sepoy -regiments and
one of itinerant gipsies." And these are the soldiers

A SHAM DETECTIVE.

Not infrequently do we hear of persons attempt-
ing the role of the police detective. To successfully ac-
complish the part a great; deal of skill and tact are
required, because he who essays the character
courts no inconsiderable danger. y The clumsiness
of the actors in nine cases out of ten betrays
them. The other day a man named Qon--
der! tried to extort money from the land-
lord of the Blue Anchor, 1N hitechapel, under circum-
stances of exceeding audacity. He discovered the
landlord playing at cards, and threatened to report
the house to the authorities. His object was to work
upon the fears of the landlord in the expectation of
receiving hush money. The landlord, however, appears
to have been rather too much for Conder. When
the latter said he was a detective, the landlord de-
manded to see his card of authority. Conder could
not produce his warrantof authority, and his intended
victim, now being thoroughly alive to the deception
attempted to be practised upon him, gave the would-
be detective into custody.

THE WOOLWICH ACCIDENT.-INQUEST.

Yesterday morning an inquest was held at Woolwich, be-
fore Mr. Carttar, coroner, on the bodies of the Rev. C. Hind
(curate of Christ Church, Melton), and George Cowing (a
lad belonging to the Chichester, training ship). The bodies
had been picked up off the Royal Arsenal. Another body
body, that of the lad Alfred Read, has since been found,
so that now only one of the crew drowned by the col-
lision with the Cormorant remains undiscovered. The
Corohei advised that the bodies should first be identified ;
and then, as the Cormorant had not returned from Ire-
land, that the inquiry should be furthor adjourned. This
suggestion was acted upon.

LETTER OF M. BERRYER.

An unpublished letter from M. Berryer, the distin-
guished French advocate, has just been brought to light.
In writing to a friend in September, 1866, he made some
prophecies concerning the future political condition of
France. " You may be convinced," he said, " that the
Government, by its principles and by the
necessary conditions of its precarious existence,
is the most dangerous propagator of moral evil
that you can denounce in your letter on " The
Policy of the Present Time," and that you have fought
against it with the good faith of an upright man. It would
take too long a letter, and too many revelations, to make
you acquainted with all that relates to this sad truth.
You do not see these men near enough ; you know neither
the baseness of their cupidity nor the shame of their ser-
vility, nor the cowardly charactei of their adulations.
Wait a little while, and you will see in the events which
are even now taking place, and will soon attain their de-
plorable consequences. hat has become of honour, re-
ligion, order, and liberty, in our ancient countries ? The
appearances of material prosterity will speedily disappear,
and will leave nothing behind them but the ruins of all
important interests.

HOW PARIS CAN BE SAVED.

The Manchester Examiner says if the impending struggle
before Paris resolves itself into a duel between the capital
and the German armies, nothing but a miracle will save
the city. Apart from miraculous heroism, the fate of
Paris depends upon the temper of France. Is there any
enthusiasm in the provinces ? and has Imperialism so eaten
out all the pluck and the manhood of the nation that it is
incapable of the supreme effort which alone can loosen
the grip of the invasion. The deliverance of Paris is to
be achieved—if achieved at all—a hundred miles away on
that long line of communication upon which the German
armies will have to depend for food, ammunition, and
every species of sustenance for life and war.
London, England, 1870-09-17

ENGLAND AND BELGIUM.

Another instance has been afforded of the good
feeling which exists between England and Belgium.
The Lord Mayor of London has received a large
painting in oil representing the Hotel de Vile at
Brussels, one of the oldest and most beautiful seats
of the Belgian liberties. The picture is the
gift of the Kir.g of Belgium, and the work
of a celebrated artist of that. country. It is
6 feet by 5 feet, is magnificently mounted, and bears
an inscription in letters of gold. 'the gift was
accompanied by a communication from the Belgian
Minister at this Court, which explains the reason
why the Hotel de Ville had been selected as the
subject of the painting. His Majesty thought
the picture, as representing the free insti-
tutions of his kingdom, would prove acceptable
to the Lord Mayor, who has always evinced a strong
love for the little country and its constitution. This
last act of his Majesty must be regarded as a
further proof of his desire to cultivate a good
understanding between his subjects and those of this
country.

EVILS OF STANDING ARMIES.

A public meetinghas been held at the Hall of Science,
St. Luke's, London, for the purpose of protesting
against standing armies and advocating the necessity
of the standing populatidn of the country being
trained to the use of arms..i: It was convened by the
Land and Labour League, and Mr. Hennessey, the
President of the League, occupied the chair. He
explained the objects of the meeting, and then said
that the recent events on the Continent proved that
a standing army was not always effective for the
defenoe of a country, and that the real protection of a
nation consisted in the whole of its male population
being trained to the use of arms. The League
desired to procure the:gabolition of standing
armies, and the present time seemed an
opportune one for advocating their views,
The working classes were the greatest sufferers from
war, and it was for their interest that standing
armies should be put down. A resolution was
moved to the effect that the maintenance of our pre-
sent army was the worst kind of sham defence, and
that its speedy abolition was desirable. The country
depended for its defence upon its navy, not upon its
standing army. The Government should look to the
efficiency of our volunteer corps, which would be
ample for defence if properly officered. The resolu-
tion was carried. The chairman read an address
from the Council of the League to the peoples of
Europe, urging them to insist upon the disbandment
of the various armies, which was unanimously
adopted.
London, England, 1870-09-17

PRUSSIA'S OBJECT.

The Standard holds that no chance has been given
Paris of peace. The Prussian King has acted as if there
there were no French Government, and the only pos-
sible course left to the people of the National Defence
has been that preparation for the defence of Paris
which has cost France such enormous sacrifices, and
which the organs of the Prussian embassy denounce as
unjustifiable. Is there any possible justification for this
obstinate refusal of the Prussian Government to state the
ends for which it prolongs this conflict? Nothing has
happened since the capitulation of Sedan to induce
or justify any increase of > the demands which
Prussia would have then put forth. Why, then,
has not the Prussian Government summoned the
present holders of power in France to accept such
terms as it may think necessary in German interests ?
The march upon Paris is war against Republicanism.
The sufferings of France and Paris during the last week,
and those in store for both, are not directed to enforce
satisfaction for the wrongs done to Germany, but to root
out the noxious principle of Republicanism.

FARMING IN IRELAND

A series of Farmers' Club Meetings are held in
Ireland at this season annually. The increased
number of local agricultural societies who have
announced meetings this year, betokens an increased
growth of intelligence and industry, which coming so
soon after the passing of the Irish Land Bill cannot
but be looked upon as gratifying. The Irish agri-
cultural shows within the past few weeks, it may be
stated, moreover, have furnished satisfactory evidence
that the landowners, small and great, are profiting by
the opportunities for improvement afforded by district
societies, and by the promising aspect of future
legislation as regards their properties. At some of
the exhibitions, notably of those promoted by the
tenantry of Lord Lanesborough, Lord Portsmouth,
and the Earl of Kingston, clear proof has been
given of the interest bestowed by these popular
landlords to the material interests of the tenants.
At others it has been remarked that the owners of
stock had brought but a poor show of cattle
forward, being discouraged by the appearance of
the foot and mouth disease in their localities. The
deficiancy in the show of stock has, however, oc-
curred only in a few isolated cases, and upon the whole
the year as respects all that Irish farmers hope it to
be successful in, has been above the average in
its fruits.

LONDON PAUPERS.
The metropolitan pauperism, which for some weeks has
been falling to the revel it held in 1869, has at length
passed below that mark. In the first week of September
last year there were 128,344 iLdoor and outdoor paupers
on the London relief lists ; now it appears from the table
we published yesterday the corresponding number is
127,867, or 500 less than in 1869. This better fortune
however, is limited to the east district, which, taken alone,
stands accredited indeed with a diminution in its pauper
ranks of 3,600 individuals. The other districts show, on
the contrary, a more or less increase. The western unions

THE CHANCES OF PEACE.

The Times believes that the chance of stopping the war
and of restoring peace to Europe, never more than a
bare possibility, becomes daily less and less, and
now threatens to vanish altogether. It seems cer-
tain that Paris must bear the brunt of attack before
the first condition of negooiation will be arrived at. We
are, says the Times, reluctant to say a word that may
seem to cad an ungenerous reflection upon the mis-
fortunes of France, but it is in' the interest of
the nation we express the opinion that their
greatest calamities have sprung from their un-
willingness to look facts in the face. Unpalatable
truths have been hateful to them. They have hugged
delusions to their soul. France must realize the
painful fact that she stands alone in the contest
she has provoked, unless the sequel of the war gives
rise to questions at present altogether unsuspected,
and of a character entirely different from those that
have as yet been discussed. If France would but strip
truth of all the veils her imagination has flung around it,
and see it as it is, it may be—the chance is small indeed,
but it may be—that there is yet time to prevent the
further progress of the war. Obviously, the
first thing to be done is to abandon all reliance on
missions to London and St. Petersburg, and to
address the King of Prussia direct. If a parlententaire of
sufficient rank were sent to the Head-Quarters of the Ger-
man Army with authority to treat, it would be at least
possible to narrow the point in dispute to a clear issue.
Count Bismarck says that the German Government has
received no communication indicating a desire to nego-
tia,te, and everything conspires to press the wisdom and
necessity of making such communication.
M. TRIERS' MISSION.

The Daily Hews, criticising the position of France,
says : The German army 'is marching, without an
hour's delay, straight on Paris. That is the
answer which Germany returns to the base-
less rumours of an armistice, and to the desire
of all neutral Europe that there should be peace. We
have felt it to be our duty to point out from day to day
the exact situation of political and military affairs in
France, even at the risk of disappointing very natural
hopes, and seeming to mock expectations we would most
willingly have shared. But from the first rumour of
peace efforts down to the present moment there has never
been the least sign on the horizon on the blossed advent
of peace. It is needless for us to repeat as
the assurance that the " voluntary mission"
of M. Thiers has never represented anything
mere than a laudable anxiety on the part of
the French Government to stop the German advance.
The venerable statesman' seems rather to have got
out of the way of the German arms by a dig-
nified retreat from the beleaguered capital than to
have drawn an obstacle across their path. But for his
known valour and his small reputation for discretion we
should be inclined to congratulate him on the admirable
strategic movement by which he has escaped with his
family from the dangers of a siege with all the honours, if
not of war, at least of an attempt at peace.

THE SOPER BREECH-LOADING RIFLE.

The first official inspection of the Soper breech-loader
took place this week at the Horse Guards, before his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambrsdge, who expressed
himself much pleased with the simplicity of the arm. In
a public competition that took place at Reading on Thurs,
day evening, thirty shots per minute were fired from this
weapon ; and in the aggregate score; beating twelve
muzzle loaders that were fired at the same rate.
