WASTE OF POWDER.

Count Bismarck recently alluded to the " extra-
ordinary and incomprehensible " firing of the forts
around Paris as an unaccountable waste of powder.
If some statements in "Surgical Notes of the Gallo
German War by a Student" are correct, the firing
is neither extraordinary nor incomprehensible.
Some of the forts inflict great injury. During the
sortie of October 21st the guns of Mont Valerien
committed "fearful devastation." Dr. Cormack also
suggests that the firing is not unaccount-
able :—" Montretout is invaluable to the Prus-
sians ; but as it is within range of the fire of
Mont Valerien, it is not permanently tenable by
them. Though Mont Valtsrien has several times de-
stroyed the Prussian batteries at Montretout, the
French have never been able to dislodge them per-
manently. This arises from a crest of wooded hill
intercepting the view of Montretout from the fort
of Mont Valdrien. They have to fire over this crest,
and can only from other points learn the result of
their fire. The bearings are now so accurately ascer-
tained that the Mont Val6rien artillery is always
able by six or eight shots to destroy the Prussian
batteries and send the Prussians skedaddling from
the best part of the position."

&MANCE OP THE LOIRE ARMY.

A correspondent, writing in the Orleans district on the
23rd, says the French army kept constantry pushing for-
ward, " with an order, steadiness, and watchfulness of
which I never saw anything 6fmilar in this part
from the beginning of the campaign. Last night
the Prussians attempted a flank movement near
Montargis, and were met with such a force
that they did not even venture to begin a fight.
On the road from Tours to Orleans everything
looks quite as if Prussians had never been in the
neighbourhood. Trains are running three times a day,
the telegraph is restored, and scarcely any troops are to
be seen but those who go with the train, and the few
encamped at Mer and at Beaugency. All the rest have
advanced, and advanced very considerably. Even at
Orleans we have no head-quarters, as the whole staff of
the army is far off in the country. It changes its resi-
dence daily, constantly advancing, and exerts its best
efforts with a view that its whereabouts should not be
known." If, however, it is constantly pushing forward
as this writer says, it does not seem to progress very
far.

COUNT BISMARCK'S VIEWS.

The Standard correspondent at Versailles states that
Count Bismarck distinctly and very positively repudiates
having been privy to the Czar's resolution, and protests
that he much regrets the step which has been taken. It
is possible that diplomacy has laws of its own foreign
to unsophisticated candour, but in that case there must
exist a vast conspiracy of falsehood, for the language
of the Chancellor is the language of every German
person of eminence at Versailles, commencing with
the highest personage of all, and travelling down-
wards. The same correspondent has a:so good
reason to suspect that Count Bismark shares the
vulgar continental opinion that England will not
fight. A splendid opportunity has arisen for ridding
the minds of all of an idea most derogatory to us as
a nation, and most mischievous to the rest of Europe•
The Times' correspondent at Versailles says there is reason
to believe that Count Bismarck has expressed regret—at
all events surprise—at the issue of the Russian circular or
at the, choice of time for presenting it. Prussia can do
much to maintain peace. The assurance of her moral
support to the protecting Powers would naturally exercise
a great influence and induce Russia to accept moderate
counsels.

THE PEENCH COM3III,IbEES.

Not only is D'Aurelles de Paladine highly thought of
by the French but also General Borel, the former's chief
of staff. This commander is 50 years old, and has made
his military experiences in Africa as aide-de-camp of
MacMahon. He made the Italian campaign in the same
capacity, and left the unlucky Marshal only in 1867, to
take the post of the chief of the etat major of the National
Guards of the Seine. After the fall of the Empire,
Colonel Borel was made general, and appointed chief of
the etat major of the 15th corps, then at Paris. When
afterwards the Army of the Loire began finally to form
itself, General d'Aurelles de Paladine selected General
Borel as chief of the etat major of the whole army, and
the part this newly-appointed officer had taken in the
battle of Orleans was so important that ho was at once
promoted to the grade of a divisional general. General
Borel is well spoken of on the score of amiability—which
is not one of D'Aurelles' strong points. The latter is said
to be considerably stiff.

THE FRANC-T[IIEI:MS.

It is said that almost as much nonsense is being
written about the Franc-tireurs in the German
papers now as was formerly published respecting
the Uhlans in the French journals. The men are
neither savages nor assassins, we are assured, but
they are bound to remain non-regular troops, as
the system of supplies necessary for linesmen could
not by any possibility be secured to them. This is
with respect to the generality of Freeshooters, for as a
matter of fact many of the men have joined the recog-
nised regiments of the army. The only uniform of
the Franc-tireur proper is a military - cap, which,
can be substituted for one of ordinary wear at a
moment's notice. The men are most nume-
rous in the Vosges, although they are of
late springing up everywhere. A. correspondent
whose letters can be relied upon says these
irregular warriors are men who, no doubt, feel much
more at home in a cafe than in a campaign, but who,
whatever other faults they may have, are certainly
not the kind of persons likely to commit the acts of
violence and rapine with which the Francs-tireurs
are credited by the German and other papers.

THE PRUSSIAN ELECTIONS.

The late Prussian elections have not, as was gene-
rally believed in England, given the Government a
greater majority than it possessed in the former Par-
liament. The Liberal party has altogether gained
about fifteen seats, while only 41 seats -are occupied
by the ultramontane party, i.e., the partisans of the
Catholic Church, who will certainly go
as often against as with the Protestant Government of
Prussia. The extreme left, viz., the Progressist
party, have lost a few seats, probably not more than
three. Nearly the whole increase of the National
Liberal pity and the Pltramontanes, therefore, have
come from the Conservatives and the Tarticularists,
the former being generally for, the latter mostly
against, Government. The Conservatives are
the chief support of the Government, and they have
been weakened ; the National Liberals are a moderate
opposition, and they are now stronger than before.
The result is important, as chewing that the great
victories of the war have not hitherto caused a
Iodic:1 against liberal principles; though it is at the
same time true that the National Liberals have fol-
lowed Bismarck pretty closely of late.

THE IRISH CAUSE CELEBRE.

The Taylor divorce case, which has occupied the atten-
tion of the Dublin public for the last three weeks, is drawing
to a close. Both the gentlemen whose conduct wa§ im-
peached by Lieutenant Taylor's witnesses, were called
before the court, and firmly denied the rsccusations made
against them -this testimony being supported by that of
Mrs. Deane Taylor, who gave a specific denial to the several
bharges of immorality. With respect to Dr. O'Hare, of
Belfast, who gave some remarkable evidence, but ended
by declaring his inability to swear positively to the iden-
tity of Mrs. Dean Taylor, she declared that she never saw
him until he entered the court. When the evidence was
finished, Dr. Todd, the respondent's counsel, proceeded
to address the court, contending that the charge of cruelty
had not been established. The judge, he remarked, was
not there to teach people manners, but to protect the life
and health of Mrs. Dean Taylor, when Judge Battersby
added, " Arid something more." Dr. Todd resuming,
contended that the evidence was not sufficient to induce
' the court to give relief to the petitioner, on whom he threw
the blame of all the alleged acts of cruelty. While the
learned council was commenting on the evidence, the
judge said he did not believe all the evidence. Dr. Todd
said he thought old Mrs. Taylor (the respondent's mother)
was.entitled to belief, to which the judge rejoined, "1
don't think she is."

THE HULL WORKING MEN'S' EXHIBITION.

The promoters of the working men's Art and
Industrial Exhibition at Hull are in a fix. The execu-
tive asked the newly elected mayor to request the
mayoress to distribute the awards to the successful
competitors, or to perform that ceremony himself.
The chief magistrate, however, has bluntly refused
the request of the working men, alleging as an
excuse that latterly the exhibition had been con-
ducted after the fashion of a music hall.
This is an undeniable fact, but the committee plead
that the unsatisfactory condition of the finances left
them no alternative but to resort to the objectionable
expedient of attracting the public to the exhibition
by the engagement of vocalists, in order to avert
pecuniary embarrassment. The conduct of the exe-
cutive has been denounced by ether prominent men
of the town, and the consequence is that as yet no suffi-
cient personage can be found to perform the ceremony
of closing the building. This disunion is all the more
to be regretted seeing the unanimity which pervaded
all classes during the early history of the exhibi-
tion.

EARLY HISTORY OF THE WAR.

The last batch of the Imperial papers published in
France includes the telegrams which passed to and for
between the Emperor, the Minister of War, the Marshals,
and others, respecting the campaign of Sedan. The first
from the War Minister to the Emperor at Chalons, is
dated August 17. The Empress has just informed him of
the Emperor's intention to bring back the army of
Chalons to Paris. He entreats his Imperial master to
renounce any such intention, as it would be abandoning
the army cf Metz. The Chalons army is 85,000 strong,
and will, in a few days, be reinforced by the Deuay corps
of 18,000. Would it not be possible to mate a powerful
demonstration against . the Prussian forces, which are
already exhausted. The Emperor, in reply, agrees to
yield on the point, and• says that Bazaine is urgently
demanding munitions. Marshal MacMalion, on the 19th,
telegraphs to the Council of Ministers that they may rely
on him for doing all he can to rejoin Bazaine. A few
hours later he telegraphs to Bazaine himself to ask how
he can assist him without leaving Parts unprotected. On
this same 19th the War Minister complains to MacMalion
of the absence of proper watch and of recoimaissanees. ,

MISS BURDETT COUTTS ON SCHOOL BOARDS.

Miss Burdett Coutts has replied to the request of
the Tower Hamlets Conservative Association that
she would allow herself to be nominated to a seat on
the Metropolitan School Board. Her letter mildly
rebukes the pretensions of " strong-minded" women.
Miss Coutts is convinced that the presence of women
at school boards, just now at all events, would
simply interfere with the discussions of such bodies.
She points out that for some time the boards will
have simply to deal with questions connected with
administration, admitting of no assistance from the
ladies. At the same time, however much she might
regret the election of women to school boards, Miss
Coutts is of opinion that their experience might be
of service in considering- matters pertaining to girls'
schools. Formed into sub-committees for this pur-
pose the :ladies would. form valuable auxiliaries to
the boards, whilst they would be relieved from the
unsuitable position an election would involve
them in.

kicEPA.RATIONS AT ORLEANS.

The correspondent of the Daily News, writing from
Orleans on the 20th inst., says:—The immobility of the
army in advance of this town in surprising, but the calm
which exists is probably the presage of an impending
storm. It was, it appears, too rashly that I told you
in my letter of yesterday that the Army of the Loire
was about to move forward. I saw to-day Colonel
Reilly, the military attach 6 to the British Embassy,
who is following the operations of the Army of the Loire ;
he is staying here, as well as an Austrian officer who is
also accredited to the Army of the Loire. lam sorry to
say they are not, I think, very hopeful as to the result of
the next event. It seems the army, far from moving for-
ward, will await an attack in its present positions. The
reason it does not advance, and did not follow up its
success of the 10th, is, it seems, the impossibility it
was in of being victualled on its onward march, for want
of sufficient waggon trains. I rode out to 'some of the
neighbouring camps. There is a great movement of
troops, aides-de-camp, waggons, &c., &c., on all
the roads north of the town. They have been making
earthworks to a very considerable distance, beginning
outside the town to the north. Every available vantage
ground has been fortified, and big guns served by
gunners are placed on these works. There can be no
doubt that Orleans will not be re-entered on that side
without a fearful struggle and enormous loss to the enemy.
In case of a retreat of the French, the army will cross the
noire on a pontoon bridge, which is at this very
moment being rapidly constructed by torchlight,
and the two permanent bridges (one a railway bridge)
would be blown up. It is probable before three days are
over a great battle will have been fought close by
here ; for it seems impossible that the two armies
should remain facing each other much longer.
However, it is useless to make any conjectures
just now ; the only thing to do is to await
patiently the first sound of the cannon. It is a
curious sight to see the preparations going on for an im-
portant battle, upon which so much detends for this unfor-
tunate country. The lurid lights on the river where they
are building the bridge, the silent streets, and the expres-
sion of every face, furnish a vivid picture of expectation
and anxiety.

It is stated that Mr. Palles, Q.C., of Dublin, will
be a Liberal candidate for the vacant seat in Meath.
The Earl of Granard has received a letter from
the Foreign Office, in which Earl Granville promises to
take the necessary measures for the protection of English
members of religious orders at Rome.
Two Ministers were absent from the Cabinet
Council on Monday—Mr. Fortescue, who is in Ireland,
mid Mr. Bright. The Ministers, who met at half-past
three, separated at five o'clock. Summonses have been
sent out for a Cabinet Council, this afternoon, at one
o'clock.

THE LIVERPOOL MURDER

The inquest upon the body of Mr. Flueck, the school-
plaster murdered at Liverpool on Friday, was formally
opened yesterday, and adjourned until the 7th of De-
cember.

ACCIDENT FROM THE FALL OF BLOCKS
OF CONCRETE.

Yesterday afternoon, while the engineers were engaged
depositing some large blocks of hardened concrete on the
foundation of the new quay wall at Greenore, some of
them gave way, and fell, killing Mr. 011ey on the spot,
and injuring several other persons very severely.

THE LORD -LIEU'TENANT OF IRELAND AT

CARLOW.

His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, and
Countess Spencer, visited Carlow yesterday for the first
time. He was warmly received. His Excellency sanc-
tioned an outlay of £4,000 on the Asylum. The Carlow
Town Commissioners presented him with an address of
welcome, and took advantage of the occasiGn to refer to
the political prisoners, for whose release they asked. Earl
Spencer returned a formal answer of thanks. He left for
Dublin in the middle of the day.

SINGULAR RAILWAY ACCIDENT-A COTTAGE

DEMOLISHED.

At the Ma,3borough station, near Rotherham, on Mon-
day morning, shortly before eleven o'clock, a coal train
was being shunted into the Midland Station Works, when
one of the waggons, of which there were twelve, leaped
off, the line, It ran against the corner of a cottage, which
was within a foot or two of the siding. So great was its
impetus that the cottage was almost completely demolished.
A woman and two children were buried beneath the walls,
.but fortunately were all rescued alive. 'The woman and one
child were severely, but not dangerously, injured, the
other youngster escaped almost without a scratch.. Seve—
ral of the waggons were overturned and smashed. While
the wheel of one of them was being removed it fell upon
the leg of a labourer and broke it.

PARTY DEMONSTRATIONS IN DERRY.

At a special meeting of the Derry magistrates it has
been resolved to allow no more party demonstrations in
the city. It is understood that a proclamation will be

AN ALDERMAN CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL

LIBEL.

James Pallett Elliott,a haberdasher, and alderman of the
borough of T:Fnworth, was charged before the Tamworth
magistrates yesterday with criminally libelling Mr. John
Shaw, county-court registrar and clerk to the comity
magistrates. The libel was contained in a handbill,
in which the defendant alleged that the plaintiff had
charged more for witnesses than he paid them. The
defendant, by his counsel, admitted the publication of the
libel, but urged that a full public apology would be suffi-
cient to meet the offence. With the prosecutor's consent,
the apology was accepted, the defendant paying, all
expenses and engaging to give £lO to some public
charity.

THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.

We are, of course, all rejoiced that the Princess
Louise is about to marry a handsome young Scotch-
man, but our rejoicing just at present has its alloy.
Why is it thought necessary that the world should
be enlightened as to the whole history of the clan
Campbell ? This evening the Scotch clubs in Lon-
don are to celebrate St. Andrew's Day, and we are
told that for days past the orators who are to deliver
addresses have been burning the midnight oil and
driving frantic the librarian of the British Museum
in their anxious researches concerning the history of
all the MacCallums who have flourished since the
flood. Many, no doubt, will hesitate to buy Thurs-
day morning's papers on this account, believing that
one really can have too much of a good thing. The
worst trial, however, at the present time is a musical
one. There has been a royal entry of bagpipers into
England, the chief rendezvous being the metro-
polis. Hundreds of men, who never had a taste for
this particular instrument, and who never knew they
could learn music at all, have suddenly adopted the
pipes, and the inhabitants of many quiet streets are
driven half mad. Several pipers have improvised
airs totally their own composition in the vain hope
of producing a Lorne quickstep, or a brilliant ver-
sion of what must be entitled 46 The Campbells are
come."

THE TIPPERARY MURDER.

Great sensation has been created by the recent
murder in Tipperary, as the victim was of a different
class from tilos 3 generally selected. It is thought
that the Ribbonmen are detemined to try terrifying
the lower orders as being more susceptible of fear than
the gentry, and they consequently hope to deter them
from carrying out orders. Patrick Lonergan, the
murdered man, Was 4 very orderly and industrious
character, and had been caretaker on the property of
Colonel the Hon. and Lady Margaret Charteris
for many years. He attended Cahir on
Friday, on business, and started for , home
being quite • sober, at about five p.m. He
was last seen conscious within half a mile of the
town, near the house of a man named Egan. Three
hours later he was found insensible in a fiel f close
by the high road, bearing traces of terrible injuries
about the head. He died about twenty minutes after,
without recovering consciousness. A spirit bottle
was found near him, 40 his pockets
had been rifled, but it is univerally believed
that robbery was not the motive of the crime.
Lonergan believed his life in danger, as he had in-
curred the enmity of some persons against whom he
had given evidence in an assault suit. The police
remained on the spot all night, and two arrests were
made on suspicion. Singularly enough, the uncle of
Lonergan was murdered twenty years ago on account
of a dispute.

ONE PENNY,

THE MANCHESTER SCHOOL BOARD
ELECTION.

Some statistics which may be of interest at tl e present
moment are to be gathered from the account in the '
Manchester Guardian of the polling for the members of the
School Board iu that city. The total number of bur-
gesses on the roll, and therefore, we presume, entitled to
vote, was something over 63,000, of whom 26,513
only, or 42 per cent., exercised their new privilege.
The number to be elected on the board was 15 ; the
number of candidates who went to the poll was 44. The
fifteen chosen obtained an aggregate of 332,643 votes.
The candidate at the bead of the successful list was the
Rev. Canon Toole, a Roman Catholic, who had 54,560
votes; the lowest on the same list was Mr. Oliver Hey-
wood, the banker-7,902 votes. The 29 rejected candidates
had a total of 66,918 votes in their favour. The
highest here mustered 7,469 votes ; the lowest 105 only.
It would therefore appear from the report upon which we
rely for these figures that in all 399,561 votes were ad-
mitted ; but there is some discrepancy in the record,
because 26,513 voters, with 15 votes a piece; could not pro-
)erly give more than 397,695 votes. TI-ey might give
ess than their allotted number ; but certainly not
It employed 60 clerks from five o'clock on
irsday afternoon until noon on Friday to examine and
count the votes. We
_infer that this • staff was employed
continuously, for the mayor is stated to have remained
at the Town Hall until a late hour on Thurs-
day night, and personally decided every doubtful
vote. On this assumption sixty clerks worked
for nineteen hours —with some allowance for refresh-
ment, if not for rest; equivalent, say, to the labour of
one clerk for 1,140 hours. This would shew that the votes
were examined, passed, counted, and recorded at the rate,
in round numbers, of 350 an hour. We should note the
effect of cumulative voting here. Our contemporary
remarks that an examination of the return shews that
two Roman Catholics, one of them a priest and canon
of that Church, head the poll. This was ac-
complished, under the published advice of leading
members of that body, by the concentration of all the
Catholic votes upon their candidates ; although it is clear
from Canon Toole's position at the head of the list, and
majority over his co-religionist, that many of his friends
gave all their fifteen votes to him. If only one-tenth of
the actual voters had plumped for Canon Toole he would
have headed the poll, and been upwards of 3,000 in ad-
vance of his co-religionist.

THE SITUATION IN CHINA.

The Overland China Mail says that Iler
Majesty's consul at Canton, Mr. Robertson,
recently received a communication from the
members of the Foreign Community calling atten-
tion to the precarious position in which they were
placed. They expresso' their conviction that a grow-
ing animosity had existed towards foreigners ever
since the outrage at Tientsin. Mr. Robertson, lo
reply, considered their fears were groundless. lie
had been in communication with the Chinese autho-
rities, who assured him they would main'
tain c,rder among the people, and promised
to issue a proclamation on the subject.
Mr. Robertson thought the less notice given to these
reports the better, because the Chinese would be apt
to take advantage if they t ;lought foreigners Were
becoming nervous. Shanghaa papers up to the 11th
of October stated that matters looked unsatisfactory
at Tientsin, and it was much to be regretted that
the foreign Ministers had not dealt more severely
with the guilty parties, and thus prevented the com-
plications which have since arisen. It will be remem-
bered, however, that a telegram has since been
received from Mr. Wade expressing the opinion that
troops will not be required in any part of the country.

1211 F ELECTIONS. IN THE UNITED STATES.

Our New York correspondent, says the Manchester
Examiner, summaries the results of the recent State
elections, and briefly foroaets their probable influence
upon the future of American politics. Writing at the
close of a week in which eighteen elections had
taken place, he points out that the result as in
the previous elections in the Middle States, was to
give " scattering Democratic gains all over the
country." Putting minor questions aside, the Democratic
party, as we before stated, places the policy of free trade
in the forefront of the battle; and such gains as it has
just achieved—and they have not been inconsiderable—
, are to be directly attributed to this free trade policy. The
long dominant Republican party, on the other hand, is
divided on this very question. Hitherto, it has been
thoroughly Protectionist, but a more mature expe-
rience, as we are justified in asserting, is opening
the eyes of many of the party to their erroneous econo-
mical opinions. To such an extent has this feeling spread,
that in some instances this section of the Republicans
have started a free-trade candidate, and carried him with
the assistance of Democratic votes. These are
signs of the times which Englishmen no less than Ameri-
cans cannot afford to overlook, since they may be fraught
with the most important consequences, both of a political.
and commercial character, to the two countries.

RETIRING FROM BUSINESS.

Mr. Calcraft is aboutrto retire from the post which
be has occupied so many years, with so much credit
to himself and benefit to the nation. The public has
long concluded that it is time for this servant
to enjoy his otium earn dignitate. He has
bungled a good deal of late, has done some
unskilful jobs, and altogether is not the man he was.
Time makes inroads upon the most polished perfec-
tion. Some surprise has been expressed that Mr.
Calcraft has asked for a superannuation. This is
scarcely fair, for it is obvious that thedifficulties lathe
way of a retired hangman getting fresh occupation are
more than usually serious. Nobody would like
to see Mr. Calcraft reduced to such straits as to be
tempted to try his skill upon himself. The question
of a successor will probably .occupy the attention of

the proper set of authorities, but we remember
that when volunteers have been required tJ
take a turn now and then the applications
have been plentiful, including the gentleman
whose training in a pious family was deemed'a high
qualification. •On the whole, therefore, there sows
no reason to fear that this important branch of trade
will fall off:

NEW ZEALAND PROSPERING.

The prospects of New Zealand are happily alto-
gether different from what they were a few inontb9
ago. The close of the Parliamentary session left the
Ministers with a definite scheme for the improvenioet
of the colony, it
.is proposed to execute Public
works at an outlay of eight millions, and to invests
million and a half in immigration. To meet this out-
lay a loan of four millions is to be raised, and the
appropriation. of the waste lands is to bell)
with the rest. The space of ten Year 3
is allowed for the fulfilment of the scheme
and sanguine hopes are entertained of its success,
provided a general European war does not interfere
with the loan. The construction of public works
will afford useful employment to the natives. The
friendly natives are eager for work. A great meet'
ing of natives, loyal and disloyal, has been held to
the south of Taranaki. Nearly 2,000 Maories Were
present, and there was consequently not a little es'
citement in the settlement. A Government
war ship was sent to cruise off the coast
meanwhile, but all passed off peacefully.
Parris, the Commissioner, was present, and had all
animated battle of words with Titolcowaru, who sud-
denly burst into the meeting with eighty followers,
all well armed. Mr. Parris shewed no fear, but talked
the rebel down, and he declared his willingness to
let the English alone if they would let him alone.
Te Kooti is still a fugitive, and his adherents are
greatly reduced. His strongholds are broken up and
he is no longer formidable. Fofthe first time for tell
j years native topics scarcely occupied an hour of the
j late session of the Colonial Parliament.

THE CAPITULATION OF LA FERE,

The officer in command at La Fere has sent. the
following official report to Tours:—
" After a fortnight's investment, during which
every means was attenrpted, either by _sorties or
by artillery fire, to check the works of the enemy,
the place was attacked with powerful siege artil-
leiy and mortars, and sustained a tremendous
bombardment for thirty hours, Contrary to
all the laws of war, the enemy opened fire at seven
a.m. without giving either wsrning or previons sum-
mons, which caused the utmost dismay and disaster
among the population.
"From the earliest hour our batteries, outflanked
from the heights which overlook the town, were
completely dismounted. Resistance was, however,
still kept up during the whole day, the night,
and the following day. This unfortunate little
town was crushed under a shower of shells. A
great portion of it was burnt and the provisions
partly destroyed by fire. Shelters were wanting—
no cellars, no casemates. Impossible to restore
bastions and batteries. Then disarmed and
powerless, we could not let this population and
the troops be uselessly crushed ; and, by the
unanimous advice of the Defence Councils, I was
obliged to surrender the place. Our losses are
great."

THE AUSTRIAN AND RUSSIAN FORCES.

A writer at Lemberg, in Austrian Poland, calculates
that the army of Austria single-handed is at least equal to
that of Russia. After mentioning that the Muscovite
Government experiences great difficulty in getting in its
men on furlough, who wander about the country and arc
not to be got at when wanted, the writer says :—" The
total regular army of Austria will be found to consist of
six hundred thousand men, or eighteen thousand less than
that of Russia. The difference, however, is far mor e
than made u p by the Austrian landwehr
(35,000 J and the Hungarian honveds (70,000).
The new decree ordering a landwehr in Russia cannot
possibly be carried out for some years to come, even if, as
is stated by many Russian military critics, its execution
is not wholly impracticable on account of the peculiar
circumstances of that country. Thus, even supposing

that the conflict should be between Russia and Austria
alone, the latter Power would, in some important respects,
have the advantage. But a war arising out of
the Black Sea question would necessarily bring Turkey
into the field, and Russia would then require at least
150,000 troops to oppose the Turkish army, and another
150,000 to keep the Circassians quieb. This would leave
her only 318,000 men to provide for the Polish garrisons,
to fight Austria, and to resist a possible attack of England
on her Baltic coasts."
