THE STRENGTH OF PARIS•

Unless two or more forts are taken, Paris need not
fear a bombardment ; and even then the shells would
spread themselves so much over the enormous surface
that the damage must be comparatively small and the
moral effect almost nothing. Look at the enormous mass
of artillery brought to bear upon Strasburg; how much
more will be required for reducing Paris, even if
we keep in mind that the regular attack by
parallels will naturally be confined to a small
portion of the works ! And until the Germans can
bring together under the walls of Paris all this artillery,
with ammunition and all other appliiices, Paris is safe.
From the moment the siege matdiiel is ready, from
that moment alone does the real danger begin.
We Fee now clearly what great intrinsic strength
there is in the fortifications of Paris. If to
this passive strength, this mere power of resistance,
were added the active strength, the power of attack of a
real army, the value of the former would be immediately
increased. While the investing force is unavoidably
divided, by the rivers Seine and Marne, into at least three
separate portions, which cannot communicate with each
other except by bridges constructed to the rear of their
fighting positions—that is to say, by roundabout roads and
with loss of time only—the great mass of the
army in Paris could attack with superior forces any one
of these three Portions at its' choice, inflict 1 osses upon it,
destroy any works commenced, and retire under shelter
of the forts before the besiegers' supports had time to
come up. In case this army in Paris were not too weak
compared with the besiegers' forces, it might render the
complete investment of the place impossible, or break
through it at any time. And how necessary it is to com-
pletely invest a besieged place so long as reinforcements
from without are not completely out of the question has been
shewn in the case of Sebastopol, where the siege was pro-
tracted entirely by the constant arrival of Russian rein-
forcements in the northern half of the fortress, access
to which could be cut off at the very last moment only.
The more events will develop themselves before Paris, the
more evident will become the perfect absurdity of the
Imperialist generalship during this war, by which
two armies were sacrificed and Paris left without its chief
arm of defence, the power of retaliating attack for attack.
As to the provisioning of such a large town, the diffi-
culties appear to us even less than in the case of a smaller
place. A capital like Paris is not only provided with a perfect
commercial organisation for provisioningitself at all times;
it is at the same time the chief market and storehouse where
the agricultural produce of an extensive district is col-
lected and exchanged. An active government could easily
take measures to provide, by using these facilities, ample
stores for the duration of an average siege. Whether this
has been done we have no means of judging ; but why it
might not have been done, and rapidly too, we cannot
see.—Pall Mall Gazette.

SEABORNE CATTLE.

Miss Burdett Coutts writes to the Times in con,
sequence of some particulars relating to " Seaborne
Cattle" which have been Communicated to her by a
friend. Her informant crossed from Germany to Lon-
don in a Rotterdam steam-packet, which was laden
with 1,400 sheep and pigs. The poor creatures under-
went great suffering ; they " were packed together
as close as herrings," the odour and noise were into-
lerable, and the brutality with which the animals
were treated was indescribable. When the packet
reached the wharf the strongest of the beasts could
hardly walk, while the weak were only forced out
by kicking and beating. It was found that several
of the sheep had been trodden down during the pas-
sage. Miss Coutts very truly remarks that it is no
light question to consider whether any of these ani-
mals was in a fit state for human consumption,
taking into account the bodily condition of fatigue,
distress, and pain in which they arrived from their
sea voyage, together with the manner in which they
are driven and treated during their previous journey
by land from distant parts .11 the port of shipment.

DECAPITATION ON THE RAILWAY.

A man named Jones was lying across the rails on the
Staffordshire Potteries loop line yesterday supposed to have
been either asleep or in a fit, and, was run over by six
ballast trucks, and his head was nearly severed from his
body. The position of the man was not noticed till too
late to avert the catastrophe.

GERMAN FIRMNESS.

The Dui p News, after remarking on the determination
of the Germans to prosecute the war says:—" We
confess that we do not see any sufficient assur-
ance that the French have made up their minds with
equal deliberation and equal firmness. They seem
rather to be drifting about for a principle
and a policy. The declaration that not a stone of the
fortresses should be given up was apparently abandoned
when Jules Favre went to confer with Count Bismarck,
but it is reproduced now in all its magniloquent integrity.
A single success of any magnitude would probably
define quite anew the French conditions ; and it
seems strange indeed if the defence of the capital
do not give to the arms of France some chance of
winning a stray laurel. On the other hand, it is
unlikely that for the present the French, if they
play their game with anything of decent skill,
cannot s( ffer new reverses. Between this time and
the fall of Paris—if Paris is to fall—there is not much
opportunity apparently for the Germans to inflict any
new and severe blows upon their enemies, while
it is quite possible that the French may now
and again make a daring and successful little
coup which will till them with fresh and sudden hope,
and produce a momentary change in temperaments and
counsels. We cannot wonder if the Germans take into
consideration the fact that their enemy is of fitful mood and
apt to be blown about by every gust of sentiment or fortune.
No one can doubt that even now, after all the passionate
protests we have heard against the wickedness of dis-
membering nations, if the French were to compel by
force of arms the Germans to fall back from Paris,
we should hear the old clamour for the Rhine pro-
vinces revived with all its pristine fulness and vehe-
mence.

PUBLIC FEELING IN BRITTANY.

The Gazette de France gives a glowing account of the
state of public feeling in Brittany. M. Kerisouet, mem-
ber of the last Corps L6gislatif, was charged by the
Provisional Government with the task of organising the
defences in the Department of Brittany. At his request
the Conseils Generaux have assembled for raising the
sums required for the defence, and they have readily res-
ponded to the appeal made to them. If the
Prussians venture into this province they will
not find as in the environs of Paris peasants
overwhelmed by terror, who are unarmed and resolved
not to defend themselves for fear of producing reprisals on
the part of the enemy. The Bretons will know how to
defend themselves, and the Germans will make their
acqaintance at their own expense. Every one is pre-
paring for the struggle, and the old songs are resounding
in the villages of Morbihan and Finisterre. I have heard,
says a correspondent, " an old man singing ' Arthur's
March,' which is traceable perhaps to the Druids, and
which, in the time of the Revolution, more than once led
the Bretons to victory. Let the Prussians come then !
They will be received as were the English of old, the
Saxons maudit of our brothers." The Conseils G 4114-
reaux could not but second this outburst of national
feeling, and readily voted all measures requisite for an
efficacious resistance. All the balances of the departmental
budgets which had not been expended, have with few ex-
ceptions been devoted to the expenses of the war. It was
agreed that the first thing to be done, was to purchase
arms, and distribute them among the people. M. M.
Kerisouet and de Talhouet were desired to go immediately
to England to buy Remington arms.
The Vendee is also in arms. M. de Cathelineau, who
signs himself An Old Vendean soldier, has issued an
impassioned address to the Vendeans and Bretons and has
asked permission from the Minister of War at Tours to
raise in the Vend& bodies of volunteers as scouts and free-
shooters. He would, he says, be ashamed on this occa-
sion not to exert the influence which his name has in this
country. In reply, the Minister of War has appointed
him commandant of the Volunteers in the Vend4e.

sions authorising the President to send 40,000,

ihe Times-publishes two letters N'vritten by daptai.l
Stanhope of H.M.S. Ocean, the senior British officer at
Yokohama, to Vice-Admiral Kellett, tespooting the late
fatal collision between the Oneida and the Bombry. Tho
letters are dated Yokohama, January 25, and in the Past
Captain Stanhope recounts the fact of the collision of
which, however, he gives no details. He says :—"11:3
Peninsular and Oriental steamer was on her way herewith
the Mails, and the collision occurred off Saratoga
Spit yesterday evening. The surgeon, A Mid-
shipman, the captain's clerk, and boatswain are
the only officers known tO have been saved,
with 55 of the crew. The remainder are supposed to has 0
gone down with the ship. I sent the Sylvia and the
steam launch to offer every assistance as soon as the
news reached here, and the former is now seeking for the
wreck. The steam launch is still searching the coast for
anything that may be washed on shore." The inves-
tigation into the circumstances of the collision
had not been held when Captain Stanhope
wrote, He and Captain Ross of the Pearl had
called upon the American Minister to express the sym-
pathy and condolence of the officers and crews of the
British squadron. The second letter is addressed to
Captain Taylor, of the United States ship Idalio, and is as
follows :—" Sir,—lt is with extreme regret that 1 have
heard of the melancholy loss of the United States' cor-
vette Oneida, in a collision with the Peninsular and
Oriental mail steamer Bombay, off this port last evening.
May I beg of ou and the officers and men of the United
States' squadron to accept, on the part of myself,
the officers, and crews of her Britannic Majesty's squad-
ron in Japan, our deep sympathy and condolence on so
sad and unfortunate an event ? If Vice-Admiral Sir
Henry Kellet had been here, I am quite sure he would
have expressed the same sympathy and condolence that I
now convey to you. I have, &c., CHANDOS S. STANHOPE,
Captain and Senior Officer."

SIR JOHN GRAY'S MEDICAL REFORM BILL.

The Lancet considers Sir John Gray's bill
on medical reform a very bad bill, the badness of
which is poorly atoned for by the gool
intentions of the auther. Ho wishes, it
says to make it impossible for men to gain a license
to practice without submitting to very severe clinical
and practical tests. Equally unsatisfactory it con-
tends is Sir John's attempt to improve the
Medical Council by the cumbrous method of simply
adding twelve members to be elected by the medical
practitioners of the country. The present council, it
considers, is too large, and this new one
would be quite impractically so. The Lancet
urges Sir John to withdraw his bill. The
Government, it believes, cannot bring in a worse,
measure, and it may bring in a better one. Finally,'
it advises Sir John to give his whole support to an

The sentences passed on the first batch of priso-
ners who have been tried for participation in the
Thorncliffe disturbances are the subject of various
comments. The Beehive says that it is to be feared
that the result of the trials will not be such as to
bring about a speedy peace between either masters
and miners, or men and men. Three of the con-
victed men were sentenced to five years' penal servi-
tude, and two to fifteen months' imprisonment with
hard labour. This last sentence, says the Beehive, is se-
vere enough; the former confounds the sufferers with
felons of the deepest dye and most inveterate crimi-
nality. It is to be observed that even youth has
b3en no excuse for the criminals. It was endea-
voured by the counsel for the prosecution to convict
the prisoners of felony, but he failed, and
the jury only found them guilty of the lesser charge
of misdemeanour. There was no original intention
to destroy the houses, and the whole affair being
over in less than half an hour is a proof that it was
nothing more than a sudden ebullition of feeling.

tmg of one Very;short clause, his been
brought from tlie House of Lords On the subject of
the eligibility of persons to serve as churchwardens.
Hitherto a person, though he may have paid rates in a
parish, has not been qualified to be elected to the office
of churchwarden, simply because he lived beyond the
bounds of the parish of which he was a ratepayer.
This bill, however, will do away with the restriction.
and the fact of non-residency will no longer render
such person ineligible, nor that of his not being, a
householder, provided that he is willing to serve in
the office of cburchFarden. In country parishes a
change like this often means a good deal.

THE EASTER MONDAY REVIEW.
The proposed volunteer review at Brighton on the
18th of April, has been finally approved of by the
Secretary of State for War. Doubtless the number
of corps desirous of attending the great annual dis-
play, will be as large as on most occasions. The
day's turn-out is probably a very tiring matter to
those most immediately concerned in it, and this
fact is the greatest proof of the ability and willing-
ness of our volunteers to chew that they are no
mere " carpet knights," but men who are
thoroughly 'game " and who can, if required,
render efficiently all the service which good
soldiers must be capable of. Any corps
in any part of the kingdom can attend the review
by making an application through the Lord Lieu-
tenant of its:county, before the Ist of April. The
railway station from which it will be most convenient
for each corps to depart for Brighton must be stated
on the application, as arrangements will be made
with the different lines, which have hitherto been
found to act pretty generously towards the Volun-
teers.

HORSES OF VOLUNTEER ARTILLERY.

A correspondence is published between the War
Office and the Inland Revenue Board, on the subject
of the liability of payment of duty in the case of
farm horses occasionally used for horsing volun-
teer guns or waggons. For the information
of many who may be affected by it, it is
useful to und:rstand that it is provided that
when any person shall have gratuitously furnished
his horse for drawing a gun or waggon or other mili-
tary carriage in the service of the volunteer force,
such person may, at the end of the same year, obtain
a return of the duty paid for a license for the horse
upon production of a certificate of such gratuitous
use of the horse. Farm horses which, as such, are
not liable to duty, may be used for such purposes
without a license being taken out, provided they are
lent gratuitously.

A VOICE FROM LORD PALMERSTON.

It may be interesting just now to recall the opinion
of the late Lord Palmerston on the subject of the
comparative expense of our own diplomatic service
and that of the United States. Speaking of the
salary of the United States' Minister in
London, which he said was £2,000, with £2,000 for
outfit, he remarked that the result is that unless the
Minister has a private fortune of his own, he sel-
dom stays much above two years. Lord Palmer-
ston did not think the practice of the United States
in regard to their diplomatic service was applicable
to this country. The position of that State
rendered European diplomacy a matter of very
secondary importance to them. In his own words
"They are separated from Europe by the. Atlantic ;
they have no direct interest in most of the events
that pass in Europe, and the chief thing they want
is information."

NEWARK.

Political matters are very unsettled at Newark, a
seat for which is left vacant by Mr. Denison's
death. Mr. Bristowe, the recorder of the town, has
issued an address in the advanced Liberal interest,
promising his support to Mr. Gladstone, the Ballot,
and a modification of the game laws and the poor
law. Sir Henry Storks is also a candidate, and is
likely to gain the support of Conservatives and some
of the late member's friends. The Major-General
declared in favour of the present Government and
freedom of voting; but does not give any sign of
adhesion to the Ballot.

AN ECCLESIASTICAL DIFFICULTY.

The Senate of the University of London hag
administered a rebuke to what it considers ecclesias-
tical exclusiveness. The statutes framed under the
Public Schools Act for the great schools of Winchester,
Harrow, Charterhouse and Rugby give the University
of London power to appoint one member of the govern-
ing body of each school. When the Senate came to
consider the appointment, it was discovered that in
defiance of the policy unanimously adopted by Par-
liament in the Endowed Schools Bill last year, the
persons nominated must be members of the Church of
England. The University of London, however, is con-
stituted on a purely unsectarian basis, and no means
exist of taking cognisance of the religious belief of its
members. Of this the Senate informed the Commis-
sioners, who suggested that the persons nominated
might themselves apply the test, and if they were not
members of the Church. of England might consider
themselves disqualified. The Senate refused their
consent to elect any person to any office when their
election might afterwards be nullified by the applica-
tion of a theological test. The Commissioners adhered
to their demand, and the Senate has memorialised
the Privy Council, asking it to disallow ao
sectarian limitation in the statutes of the schools.

A few Clays after Burger met the barber. " Well," said
he, "has the holy name of God brought you good luck ?"
" Yes, indeed, sir," said the barber. " I sell on an average
a hundred copies a day at two sous each, or ten francs;
but the strangers are generous ; some give ten sous, others
twenty. I have even received two francs for a copy ; so
that, all told, lam making five-and-twenty francs a day."
" Five-and-twenty francs - a day !" said 13urger. " Yes,
sir : thanks to your kindness," he replied. " The deuce !"
thought Burger, as he walked away. "If I were not a
literary man, I would turn peddler or publisher ; there
is nothing so profitable as selling the learning or wit of
others."

AUTHOR AND PUBLISHER.

As Louis Burger, the author and philologist, was walk-
in the Avenue des Champs Eysees, one day during the
Exhibition in Paris, he heard a familiar voice exclaiming,
"Buy some nuts of a voor man, sir ; twenty for a
penny ! " " What 1 " said Burger, looking up, and re-
cognising his old barber, " are you selling nuts ?" " Ah,
sir, I have been unfortunate," was the reply. " But this
is no business for a man like you," said Burger. " Oh,
sir, if you could only tell me of something
better to do ! " returned the barber, with a sigh.
Burger was touched. He reflected a moment; then tear-
ing a leaf from his memorandum-book, he wrote for a few
moments, and handed it to the man saying, " Take this
to a printing office, and have a hundred copies struck off;
here is the money to pay for it. Get a licence from the
Prefecture of the Police' and sell them at two sous a copy,
and you will have bread on the spot. The strangers who
visit Paris cannot refuse this tribute to the name of God,
printed in so many different ways." The barber
did as he was bid, and was always seen in the entrance
to the Exbibition, selling the following hand-bill :

SENTENCES OF THE THOUNCLIFFE HIOTEES.

THE STRIKES IN THE NORTH.

The strike of colliers in the Bolton and Tarnworth
districts is now reported to be virtually at
9m end. In consequence of the refusal of
the Bridgewater trustees to give the full
advance, the other proprietors in the dis-
trict have given notice of a reduction from one
shilling per load and fourpence per yard on the
" straight " to eightpence per load and threepence per
yard. The executive committee of the Amal-
gamated Association have advised the men to
accept this. It is, therefore, probable that th 3
whole of the miners now on strike will resume work
on Monday next. With regard to the cotton trade,
unanimity is not so probable. The operative cot-
ton spinners of the same town have issued a circular
to their employers, stating the grounds of their ap-
plication for an advance of 5 per cent on their wages.
An interview is arranged between masters and men.

THE CHARGE OF DISREGARDING SIGNALS.

The Manhattan, the vessel against whose captain
the passengers of the Samaria have preferred a charge
of inhumanity, has arrived at New York, and the
Intimation of the charge has been conveyed to the
master of the vessel. Captain Forsythe denies the
charge. He passed a steamer on the 12th
of March, he says, bound east, under full
sail. There was nothing in the appearance of the
-steamer to indicate distress. It was too far off to
►nake out any signals. He did not know it was the
Samaria, or that she was still out and overdue. The
steamer could easily have attracted special notice by
changing her course, taking in sail, or firing a gun,
not one of which things she did.

UNION CLERKS AND PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS.

Mr. Bernal Osborne, M.P., has written a
letter to the Poor-law Commissioners charging Mr.
Hennessy, clerk to the Waterford Union, with
having been one of the parties instrumental in
bringing Mr. P. 3. Smyth to that city as a candidate,
and also with having publicly canvassed the electors
in his company. Jr.A Hennessy admitted giving the
invitation, but denied the canvassing in a letter to
the Poor-law Commissioners. The Commissioners
have justified Mr. Osborne in making the complaint,
and expressed their opinion that Mr. Hennessy
has acted in a manner extremely injudicious
by having placed himself in a position incompatible
with hikoffice. The clerk of a union, they observe,
is not only retunin.; officer in the election of guar-
dians of the poor, in the course of which contests of a
political character may often take place, but he is the
public officer selected by the Legislature to supply
the lists of Parliamentary voters for the county and
borough, with the further duty cast upon him of ob-
jecting to persons who might be known to be open
t objection. They therefore recommend Mr. Hennessy
in future to confine himself to the exercise of his
parliamentary franchise so long as he continues to
6.11 the office of clerk to the Waterford Union.

NOTICES TO QUIT.

A correspondent of the Freeman states that a dis-
tinguished nobleman, the owner of very exten-
sive estates, and one upon whom the public
has been in the habit of looking as a
model landlord, has just served notices to
quit on no less than forty-two families
holding on a property which has just fallen out of
lease near Dublin. These forty-two families, he
says, number no less than 152 individuals—tenants
who owe no rents, no arrears, against whose moral
character there is not even an imputation,
and who are remarkable for their indus-
try and propriety of conduct. The Freeman
observes that the particulars communicated to it in
full are so peculiar, so foreign to anything the public
would expect to hear in connection with a name and
title of which all Irishmen have hitherto been
proud, that for the present it forbears to publish
them. It promises, however, to send one of its staff
to the scene of the evictions and place before the
public authentic details of the operations of this dis-
tinctive feature of landlordism as permitted and
fostered by law in that country.

LEGISLATION AT WASHINGTON.

(From the Anglo-American Mmes.)

That Congress legislates without due regard to
the interests of others, while rigidly maintaining
its own, has been shown in some recent instances.
The reason, probably, is that the circumstances
arising out of the war often place the members in
a new position, the rights of which they have not
yet fully appreciated. A bill has recently passed
the House to discharge some 500 military officers
of the regular Army ; and, as one of them com-
plains in a let"er addressed to the Nation, the co-
lumns of the leading daily journals and the debates
in Congress will be searched in vain for evidence to
show that the injustice of this wholesale decapita-
tio❑ has even been hinted at. On the 28th July,
1866, Congress passed an Act for the "permanent"
organization of the Army, and, induced, by it, vo-
lunteer officers, distinguished for service during the
war, applied for appointments, passed examina-
tions, and threw up a civil career. In the course
of time they assumed the responsibilities, such as
marriage, which the permanency of their positions
warranted, and, being quartered over the country,
lost the business connections which they would
otherwise have preserved. "Suddenly," says this
officer—

"The prospect opens to them of being turned adrift, by
muster-out, at an advanced age, and forced to begin life
anew trammelled by responsibilities assumed in blind con-
fidence, with no resources except a present of one year's
pay and allowances (which would be consumed by arrear-
ages contracted in trying to ' keep up their positions'),
and rendered unfit by their profession to obtain a foot-
hold. If the absence of all reliance upon the permanency
of public positions, which is the curse of the civil branch,
is to pervade the military branch of the Government, how
can superiority of discipline and training be expected ? It
is humiliating to compare our troops on the northern fron-
tier with those of the English army on duty in Canada.
It is impossible for an officer to take the same pride in the
military instruction of those under his command so long
as he feels that Congress will legislate him out of the ser-
vice, consolidate the company on which he has expended
hours of labour, transfer him to a different regiment by
entirely ' wiping out' his old regiment with all its associa-
tions, or in some way suspend and interfere with the effi-
ciency of the service."

Our English readers can easily form a conception
what the outcry would be if Parliament dared thus
to deal with the English Army, indeed the Ministry
now learn what a hornet's nest they have raised by
the proposed reductions to half pay. The American
officer advances this argument :

"If it were an outrageous breach of faith for five hundred
officers (more or less) to offer their resignations on the eve
of hostilities with of oreign nation,surely the unjust discharge
from the service of those same officers must be a proceed-
ing equally open to disparaging criticism."

THE NATURALISATION BILL.

TIPPERARY ELECTION.

A petition has been presented against the return
of Mr. D. C. Heron for Tipperary county. There
are numerous counts, the chief of them being that
Mr. Heron and others exercised undue influence, and
gave or promised money; that Mr. Heron himself,
or his agents, procured delay in the transmission of
telegraphic messages addressed to Kickham's voters,
giving directions as to polling. The petition also
alleges personation in Heron's interest, and that the
returning officer illegally refused certain votes
tendered for Kickham. As the majority over the
Nationalist candidate was only four, a very
few votes " illegally refused " would alone settle the
question—provided the petitioners can establish
this point.

AN EDUCATIONAL SQUARE MILE.

The Society of Arts have endeavoured to grapple
with the problem of popular education by causing a
pamphlet written by Mr. Bartley to be issued, giving
an account of "the educational condition and
requirements of one square mile in the
East-end of London." The district includes
the worst portion of Bethnal-green, Shoreditch,
and Hoxton, a part of Kingsland, Hackney, and the
whole of Haggerstone. Within the given square
mile there is an estimated population of 130,000, of
which there were 30,000 children, between three
and twelve years of age. Of these 30,000,
about 11,000 are in schools. It would. follow,
the report points out, that nearly twenty
thousand out of the thirty thousand receive no regu-
lar instruction. A surprising feature of this educa-
tional destitution is, that though there are 20,000
children not in attendance at school, there is accom-
modation in the existing schools for 3,500 children
',which is not taken advantage of. The cause of this
, state of things is attributed to the apathy of parents,
many of whom are found to be earning as much as £2 ss.
a week, the very poor earning 10s. or 12s. per week.
The report questions whether a rate sufficient for the
requirements of the district could be levied in such
parishes as Bethnal Green. It suggests, however,
that if those helpless people who spend £450,000 a
year on the public-houses and beerhouses of the
district would for one year invest one penny out of
every eight they now spend in drink, the money
required for the schoolbuildings would be raised by
themselves.
