ANOTHER GREAT FIRE IN SOHO.

This (Saturday) morning, at a few minutes before three
o'clock, a fire of a terrific character, and well nigh
attended with the destruction of four or five families,
happened at No. 30, Lichfield Street, Soho, in the joint
occupation of Mr. J. Ward, a carpenter and builder, and
J. Redfern, a lodger, T. Wesson,. J. Norman, and A.
Pavey. The flames commenced, from some unknown
cause, in the lower part of the premises, and they extended
so rapidly that they entered the different rooms before
the inmates had barely been made sensible of their danger.
How they managed to effect their escape they scarcely
know themselves. One said that he thought he jumped
out of the back window into the yard. Another, a female,
stated that she let herself down by a blanket. The whole
of the parties by some means managed to get out in safety,
although for some time it was feared that several lives had
been lost. The conflagration was not subdued until the
whole of the premises and the contents were destroyed,
and the City of Hereford tavern, belonging to Mr. T.
Payne, was considerably scorched, and a house numbered
11, West Street, also belonging to Mr. Ward, was also
partly destroyed. The total loss is considerable. Un-
fortunately, with the exception of Mr. Ward, none of the
sufferers were insured.

THE NEW POST CARDS.

The Post Office has made one regulation with reference
to the halfpenny Lards, which is likely to interfere with
their use, Postmasters will have power to delay them
when there is any pressure on the office. Every one
who has had occasion to send and to receive
MS. by book post is aware that the exercise
of this power often causes great inconvenience :
indeed, the book post is less used by men of letters than
it was at first, because it is impossible to depend on
punctual delivery. Now, the halfpenny cards will
generally be wanted for hasty orders to tradesmen, or
messages to servants, and, if they are likely to be de-
layed in the post, at the will of any dense local post-
master, those who are wise will use the penny stamp as
of old.

A RESCUED FLAG.

A few days since three non-commissioned officers of the
sth Regiment of the French Line arrived at Marseilles
with their rescued flag. At the disaster of Sedan the flag
of the Regiment was buried by the officer who carried it
before the surrender. These three officers being resolved
that it should not fall into the hands of the Prussians,
profited by the confusion which prevailed on the battle-
field to disinter and remove it from its staff, afterwards
concealing it under their uniforms in a piece of horseflesh
which they carried. They were among the prisoners scot
to Pont-a,Mousson, but succeeded, when at Varennes, in
eluding their guards and swimming across the Meuse,
amidst the bullets of the Prussians. They were cordially
received at the village they landed at, and dressing them-
selves in blouses, pushed on to Chaumont and Marseilles,
where they were receivedwith acclamation, the Francs-
tireurs of Dijon meeting them at the station. They are
cn route. for Toulon to deliver up the-flag.

THE ELEMENTARY EDUCATION DILL.

A deputation of working men, members of the
Land and Labour League, waited upon Mr. Forster,
the Vice-President of the Council of Education,

in reference to the difficulty which they repre-
sented would be experienced in putting some
of the provisions of the Elementary Educa-
tion Bill into 'operation. The system of
balloting as provided by the Metropolis Local

ilanagement Act was held to be unsatisfac-

tory, and it was proposed in thi memorial presented
by Dr. Bowkett, the spokesman, that not only the
rate book, but also the Parliamentary register, should
be referred to during the election of the school
' board. Any clause in the Act which would
enable an employer to accompany the voter
to the ballot box was • considered
.as unworthy
to be incorporated in a great education scheme. The
memorialists asked that official voting papers should
be substituted for different coloured tickets and
printed bills, and that the ballot box should be sur-
rounded by every protection. It was also requested
that the returning and the deputy-returning officers
should be gentlemen who at the time of the election

held no official position in the borotigh,
and that the details of the election should not
be placed in the hands of the parochial officers ;
f urther than the act directed, and that the nomination
of candidates might be held a a time convenient to
working men. ➢lr. Forster assured the deputation
that it would be a great disappointment if a fair
proportion of working men were not found on the
.school boards. One of the speakers had remarked
that it was impossible for a working man to devote
his time to the duties of the - Board, but
he thought the constituents might make it worth his
while to forego his wages and to devote his attention
to the office they might confer upon him. The use
the coloured papers, said the Vice-President, was
undoubtedly one of the means by which the object
of the Act was defeated, but without consulting Earl •
de Grey he could not tell them what regulations ;

*ould be adopted. He could fee his way to altering
the voting as carried on under the Metropolis Local
Management Act, were it not for the necessity
of giving the elector power to -rote for as man3t of
the candidates as he pleased. They must, however,
remember that it would be an experimental elec-
tion and capable of amendment. He did not think
the nomination and poly should be held late, and he
informed the deputation that steps had been taken
to ottain the assistance of vestry clerks as deputy
returning officers— one vestry clerk far each
division.

Criminal Court. The execution will take place at nine
o'clock within the walls of the prisoh. Ever since
her removal to Horsemonger-lane prison she has been in
a very low and desponding state, and appears to feel her
position acutely.

MR. GLADSTONE AND THE LONDON DEMOCRATS.
—On Thursday night a meeting of delegates from the
various branches of the Land and Labour League and
other societies was held at the committee - rooms
of one of the bodies in Kirby-street, Hatton-
garden. Mr. M. Osborne occupied the chair
and s aid, so far as he was concerned individually,
he was quite satisfied with the explanations
of Mr. Gladstone.. Mr. George Odger said be could
not endorse Mr. Gladstone's reply. It was both
illogical and Whiggish. He could not understand
why the English Government should take advantage
of a technical objection to refuse its recognition to
the French ,Republic, while the Monarchical Govern
ments of Italy, Belgium, and Portugal, to say nothing
of Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, had
acknowledged it. He could not divest himself of the
belief that dynastic influence was at work in the matter.
From all that he had seen while in France, he could say
that the Republic was almost universally acknowledged
by the people. He should advise a further pressure upon
the English Government, by means of demonstrations
and meetings, to induce them to do what he thought was
their duty. Resolutions to this effect were carried with
slight opposition.

M. FAVRE AND METZ.

A correspondent of the Independance Be* says that
the brother of M. Favre has paid a visit to Metz, being
armed with full powers from the Government at Paris to
treat on behalf of Metz, provided that Marshal Bazaine
would recognise the Provisional Government. M. Favre
remained in the besieged town two days and returned
last Sunday,- when'he had an interview with Prince
Frederic Charles, . who' had sanctioned his visit.
His mission failed, for Marshal 13azaine was
not disposed to enter upon any negotiations,
and shewed no goodwill to the new Government
when he found it was disposed to natke terms. Prince
.-Frederick Charles is well aware that famine will not be
his ally against Metz for several weeks to come,
but disease prevails in the town, and there
are daily some hundreds of deaths. There is
no intention of attacking Metz ; the besiegers will be
contented -to await the course of events in Paris, where
something decisive will, it is thought, take place within
the next three weeks. M. Favre, to start on his journey,
had to obtain permission from the King to pass his head-
quarters.

General d'Ouvrier was among those who refused to sign
the capitulation of Sedan, he had been struck three timer„
but his wounds were not serious. He was obliged to
proceed on horseback from Sedan to Coblentz with
nothing to eat and in a state of great suffering.

PREPARING THE WAY.

The Daily News defends the Social Science Asso-
ciation from the attacks which have been made upon
it in some quarters. No doubt its meetings may
a Word the opportunity of airing crotchets, but these
can very well be accepted for the sake of the solid
and valuable contributions which the Society makes
to public knowledge. In a free Parliament there is
always much useless discussion, but who would wish
on that account to abolish legislative debate ?
The annual discussions on great social sub-
jects help to prepare and enlighten pub-
lic opinion, and public opinion is the ruling
power in England. Such questions as how to deal
with pauperism, crime, and. disease are better de-
bated in a congress than in Parliament in their first
stages. In an assembly of this kind the few who
are best qualified to speak can bring forward their
knowledge, their experience, their convictions, aid
can assist in the subsequent discussions, sug-
gestions, and comparisons of plans. Many pies_
. tions, such, for instance, as the treatment
of criminals on a reformatory system, can be
best discussed by an assembly whose personal
interest in the subject enables them to treat it
without political bias or party dispute. In many
important social questions of our time, such as the
education question, the discussions of the Associa-
tion notably assisted to the formation of that strong
public conviction that rendered legislation possible.
The Daily News holds that, by preparing the way of
great social reforms, the Association does valuable
service, while the large attendance at its meetings
spews that outside the arena of party politics there are a
large number of intelligent and philanthropic persons
who are anxious to forward the amelioration of the
evils of the age.
London, England, 1870-10-01

PRACTICAL BENEVOLENCE

In contemplating the suffering which the war has
produced on the Continent we are apt to forget that
many of the French families which have sought
refuge in England are in a distressed condition. A
circular has just been issued, in which an appeal is
made to national benevolence in favour of those
refugees whose funds have become exhausted. It is
not only surmised, but.actually known, that nume-
rous families from France who have sought an
a.iylarn in England are suffering great privations,
wanting even the commonest necessaries
of life. Some who derived their incomes from rents
of houses now levelled to the ground in front of the
fortifications, or from interest of money invested in
public companies or national fiends, suddenly fiiid
their means of subsistence cut off, and from comfort
and plenty are reduced to poverty and want. It is
proposed that a special fund should be raised for the
relief of these unfortunates, inquiries into their
circumstances to be conducted in the least offensive
and most delicate manner possible. The Lord
Mayor has intimated his willingness to become the
chairman of a central committee appointed for this
purpose, and it is suggested that a register should be
opened to receive the names of families or the per-
sons who may be willing to give a temporary home to
such strangers as are without friends, and duly certi-
fied by the committee as persons of good repute. It

may be worth considering, however, how far persons,
of the male sex at least, who desert their country at
the approach of danger are worthy of assistance.

INDIA TELEGRAPH SERVICE.

A correspondent of the Standard calls attention
to the fact that the preliminary examination just
concluded for appointments in the Indian telegraph
service has resulted in the rejection of nearly three-

Dutths of the nominees. He thinks the failure of so

large a proportion, comprising many who had been
rejected a year ago, points to defects in preparatory
training and instruction. He suggests that nominees
for Government appointments shall be selected from
those who can present a certificate of com-
petent elementary knowledge. Under the
present system the greatest possible amount
of loss and disappointment is inflicted on
parents. In conclusion he says it is much
to be wished that there existed some duly con-
stituted engineering or civil service college, to Which
the recipients of national aid might be sent for train-

jug, or else that room might be made for them, and
for students of scientific professions generally, and a
t.taff of instructors provided at our existing uni-
versities, public schools, and proprietary colleges.

THE THRONE OF SPAIN.

The Spa.piards who, by dethroning their own
sovereign have been the means of overturning
another throne, are still greatly troubled about their
own national future. The two years interognum has
not brought them to a more settled condition, and
although advocates are not wanting for Republic,
Monarchy, Iberian unity, or other forms of govern-
ment, r.o one party seems strong enough to carry the
day, whether in favour of Castelar and his Democratic
associates, of Prince Alfonso, as heir of the abdicated
Queen, of Don Carlos, of King Luis of Portugal, or
any other. The last' news is that the report gains
ground, probably in consequence of the recent suc-
cesses of Prussian arms, that a Prussian Prince is to
be ,gain put forward. The candidate for the vacant
throne spoken of by Prim is no other than Prince
Frederick Charles, at present crmreander of one of
the chief divisions of the belligerent army.
The throne of Isabella would not, it seems, be worthy
the acceptance of a prince of the conquering house,
and accordingly we find that to make his kingdom
.c.anplete, Portugal is to be annexed to Spain and
England is to cede Gibraltar. The Epoca inclines to
the belief that the candidature of Prince Leopold of
Hohenzollern is not yet abandoned, but several
other papers throughout Spain support the former
theory.

TE ROOTI.

The offer of £5,000 for the capture of Te Kooti,
the Maori rebel, will, it is thought, result in every
nerve being strained to effect his seizure. The only
impediment to the reorganisation of the colony is
the fact of this man being still at large, and liable at
any moment to institute rebellion. The last advices
from New Zealand inform us that sixty of e
Kooti's followers had made an attack on a small
native settlement at Tolagar Bay, but they had
been repulsed, and were pursued by Ropatai chief of
the tribe which had been assailed. Ropata expressed
his determination to capture Te-Kooti, and in all
likelihood he may now do so. The New Zealand
Government have adopted a resolution affirming that
the best interests of the colony will be consulted by
rhaaiiiing an integral part of the British empire. It
has also been agreed that though the course adopted
by the Home Government towards the colony was to
be regretted, yet as an indication of a desire to
preserve a friendly feeling towards New Zealand
had been made by England, it was undesirable to
ii make any further reference to past misunderstandings.
Under all circumstances, then, the prospects of
England's most distant colony appear to be
brightening.

The Dublin Evening Mail reports the disappear-
ance of Mr. Robert Corbet, the Dublin agent of the Royal
ssurauce Company. Mr. Corbet, who was very infirm,
left; Dublin in the mail steamer for Holyhead on the
night of the 20th inst. He lay down ROOD after going on
I oard, but rose about ten o'clock and went up on deck,
the steward thinks, to smoke a cigar. He was not seen
afterwards by anyone in the ship. The Mail thinks the
probability is that Mr. Corbet went on the hurricane
deck and fell overheard.

THE PROSPECTS OF FRANCE.

The Manchester Courier says that day by day the pros-
pects of France in the present unhappy war seems to ~row
darker. The chances that Paris will be able to hold out
against a prolonged siege is believed by impartial
observers as well as by German commanders themselves
to be hopeless. In spite, however, of the existing ele
ments of evil, there might be hope for France, if the
Provisional Government were but capable. The one great
need of France at this moment is a responsible
Government. Not merely is such a Government not
forthcoming, but there seems to be no chance of its exist
ence. The favourable opportunity has been allowed to
slip by unheeded, and now, with Prussia victorious every
where ',ere is no loophole for escape or repentance. It
been better for the Provisional Government tc
have r. eopted the proposals of Count Bismarck than tc
have allowed the existence of the present state of things.
It can only result in confusion, failure, and distress, so
that the end of the French nation, as far as this century
is concerned, is likely to be worse than even its beginning,

RUSSIA AND Tunic EY. —Some uneasiness has been
occasioned by a despatch from Constantinople announcing
the departure for Odessa of General Ignatieff, the
Russian Ambassador to the Sublime Porte. The
coincidence of this journey with other statements
from Berlin to the effect that warlike prepara-
tions were in active progress throughout the do-
minions of the Czar, attracted a notice which
would not, in ordinary circumstances, have been
given, and tended to increase the apprehensions
prevalent in City circles. So far as the movements
of General Ignatieff are concerned, we believe the
Apprehensions to he purely chimerical ; we have the best
authority for stating- that his Excellency's journey is
quite unconnected with political questions, and has been
rendered necessary by private considerations onlv.—

LAW AND POLICE.

SENDING CHILDREN OUT TO BEG.—Henry Ford and
Charles Farrington, two shoeless little fellows, were
brought up at Marlborough Street Police-court, before
Mr. Knox, charged with begging in the Haymarket, under
pretence of selling fusees. Police-constable 147 C stated
that about four o'clock that morning he saw the two boys
begging in the Haymarket, and one of them told him
that if he went home without sixpence he would get a
hiding. The children were detained, and the magistrate
ordered the parents to be brought up.
SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A HOUSE.—John Hyams, a
cabman, was charged, at the Westminster Police-court,
with cruelly ill-treating a horse. The defendant in a state
of intoxication drove and beat the horse most unthercifully
until the horse, covered with sweat and foam, bled from
the nostrils and hips, and was wealed all over the shoulders.
Mr. Woolrych said he had no moral doubt that the pri-
soner had savagely treated his horse. He should dea
with him for the cruelly, and remand him till Tuesday for
further evidence as to driving. Bail was refused.

THE EMPRESS EUGENIE AT CHIBELHURST.— It
s a relief when everyone was longing for it, to know at
last that her Majesty has written a letter expressive of
affectionate sympathy to the Empress Eueme, late of
Hastings, now of Chiselhurst. The Imperial fugitives'
place of residence I chance to know very well. It is singu-
larly rural, though roughly sequestered, and yet within a dis
tance of little more than eleven miles from the metropolis.
The heath at Chiselhurst is on a level with the ball and
cross at the summit of St. Paul's Cathedral. In a secluded
corner, not far from the village green, is the picturesque
little Catholic Church, where the Empress and the Prince
Imperial will, for a while at least, offer up their devotions
instead of any, longer in the gorgeous Imperial chapel in
the Ti4leries.---Viondon Correspondent of the Western. Mail.

THE GATLING GUN.

It appears that the small Gatling battery has eclipsed
the performances of the Montigny mitrailleur at Shoe-
bnryness, and so far distinguished itself that we under-
stand an order is to be at once given for some of these
weapons. It will be within the recollection of our readers
that the Gatling battery delivers a continuous fire, the
cartridges being fed by gravitation down a hopper. In the
Montigny the fire is intermittent, the gun :being loaded
with thirty-seven cartridges at a time, which can either
all be discharged in one volley or fired separately. In
either case there is a necessary intermission before the next
plateful of cartridges can be introduced. Thus far the con-
tinuous fire has proved the more successful. We trust that
the Gatling battery about to be introduced will be of a
calibre and suitable chamber to fire the same ammunition
as is to be used in the Martini-Henry rifles. There can
be no difficulty about it, and it is a point which the com•
mittee will not, we hope, overlook. —Pall Mall Gazette.

THE FATAL FIRE IN LONDON.

An inquest was held yesterday in the schoolroom ad-
joining the church, Bishopsgate-street, London, on the
bodies of James Woolley, aged fifty, John Green, aged
sixteen, Martha Turner, aged twenty-three, and Ellen
Pope, aged eighteen, who met their death by fire, on
Monday last, in Liverpool-street, Bishopsgate. The
deceased were in the service of Mr. Bush,
manufacturing chemist, on whose premises the
fire broke out. The accident appeared to
have been caused by the boiling over of some
essence of musk in course of distillation which caught
fire, and communicated with a large quantity of spirits,
the conflagration spreading so rapidly that, notwithstand-
ing almost instant aid was at hand, the deceased were burnt to
death. There seemed to be a considerable feeling among
the poorer classes that the fire was caused by negligence,
and that the warehouse was not such as should be tole-
rated in a populous locality, but the jury returned a ver-
dict of " Accidental death," recommending the heroic
conduct of Stephen Byrne, who sustained an injury while
endeavouring to save the life of one of the deceased at the
peril of his own, to the consideration of the Society for
the Protection of Life.

BRISTOL.

The committees of the two Liberal candidates at
Bristol, Mr. K. Hodgson and Mr. Robinson, have
decided to hold a ballot in about a week, the result
to determine which of the two shall retire. Mr.
Odger, however, will remain to mar the peace of the
"survivor." He will not consent to any test
ballot ; and it is said that he is receiving many pro-
mises of support from voters of his own class. The
United Trades' delegates have resolved (without
pledging their respective trades) to give him their
individual support. Some of the trading societies
have also announced their intention of voting for him.
The dilemma of the Liberals is certainly serious (for
them); becauseilf Mr. Odger goes to the poll, the work-
ing men will vote forhim, and if he were left the only
candidate, the Moderate Liberals would vote for the
other side. It appears that Mr. Odger has given
offence to the Labour Representation League by
offering himself as a candidate "without the sanction"
of that body. The'League thinks of opening nego-
tiations with the Reform Club, in order to avoid
repeating the Southwark experience.

VAGRANTS.

Lord GEORGE HAMILTON asked the president of the

number of vagrants relieved in the casual wards of the

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE SAVINGS
BANKS.

Lord Oranmore and Browne, following what seems
to be becoming a fashionable custom, publishes a
protest against the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
His lordship attacks the right hon. gentleman upon
the matter of the, savings banks, and charges him
with endeavouring "to improve his balance-sheet
by takinga petty 2120.000 a year from the most
hardworking and deserving class of the community."
Lord Oranmore thinks the payment should be made as
an encouragement to thrift. "I think the taxpayer
may consider it an indirect insurance on his pro-
perty against discontent and disorder; an encourage-
ment to the industrious and orderly, who give the
best years of their lives to continuouetoil, and who,
by putting by for old age, are able, when they grow
feeble, to support themselves on their savings, in-
stead of being supported on the poor's-rates—thus
directly relieving the taxpayer, and setting an ex-
ample to their own order, which is a boon to society
that cannot be too highly estimated."

THE FATAL. DUEL IN SPAIN.

Don Henry de Bourbon, who has just been killed in a.
duel by the Duke of Montpensier, was the second son
of the Intant Francis de Paul, Duke of Cadiz, uncle
of Queen Isabella and the Count of Montemolin. Don Henry
himself bor6 the title of Duke of Seville: He was born
on April 17th, 1823, and was Vice-Admiral of the'Spanish
fleet, but was deprived of his dignity as an Infant of
Spain by a royal decree published in Madrid in March,
1567. Since then he has chiefly lived in Paris. He leaves
four children.

The duel, it appears, originated in a letter publisher
ast Thursday in the Epoca, a Madrid paper, signed
" Enrique de Bourb2p," of which the following is the
substance :

WOOLWICH ACADEMY.

The Secretary of State has made arrangements
for carrying out the recommendations of the Royal
Commission on Military Education at Woolwich
Academy. At the midsummer examination of 1870 the
only chancre proposed is that the examination will be
conductedcby the Civil Service Commissioners.- There
will be no change for the winter half-year. At mid-
summer 1871 the recommendations of the
Royal Commission as to the examination
itself are to come into force, but the age of candi-
dctes is to remain as at present—namely, 10 to 19.
In the winter of 1871 the age will be narrowed from
10 to 18k. At Midsummer, 1872, the age will be
further reduced from 10 to 18, and the change will
then be complete.

THE SCIENCE OF RELIGION.

Professor Max Muller's course of lectures on the
science of religion, the fourth and last of which was
delivered on Saturday, has been deemed of high in-
terest, to judge from the distinguished audiences
present on each occasion. The lecturer has made
war against narrow-minded views, which often cause
a complete absence of all charity in our considera-
tion of other religions than our own. The belief that
all the nations of the earth, before the rise of
Christianity, were without a knowledge of God and
without a hope of salvation: he characterises as a
Godless heresy, and maintains that an unprejudiced
study of ancient religions proves the wisdom and
love of God towards all His creatures. Not even the
best religions have been entirely free, said the profes-
sor, in his last lecture, from the errors which are
made so much of in our study of the Pagan religions.
And the sacred boolis of the ancient world contained
writings which, if charitably interpreted, would show
that the most essential elements of religion had not
been withheld from the heathen world. Applying
this, and taking this view of the religion of others,
we should more easily learn to be charitable in the
interpretation of the language of our own creed,
and not force a literal and material interpretation on
words and sentences in our sacred books, which, if
thus interpreted, must lose their original purport and
their spiritual truth.
