IRELAND AND FRANCE.

The sympathy with the French Emperor and army
in the war would appear to be thoroughly genuine
throughout the whole of Ireland. Not only are all
the newspapers of any importance impressing upon
their readers the honourable conduct of France to-
wards Great Britain and Ireland during the past
score of years, and claiming for her success all the
prayers of a people who can be grateful, but the
wealthy landowners, the priests, and the
working classes, enter into the justice of the fair
nation's need of kind feeling from these islands at this
crisis. And although many thousands think that in this
particular struggle the Emperor has been precipitate
and perhaps incautious, all seem to believe that his
conduct in the single instance affords no justification
for a withdrawal of the friendship, esteem, and
gratitude which ought to be given to France in pre-
ference to Prussia by the United Kingdom generally,
and when the past is remembered, by Ireland
especially. M. Lesage, a French gentle-
man in Dublin has received many letters
from Irish priests, in which expressions like
the two following are found :—" Ireland does not
forget that long ago, during ages of 'Jolliness and
persecution, her sons received honour and glory in
France. They would soon again, if allowed, recruit
the staff of the gallant representative of the Lords of
Farney with brave Irish hearts and strong arms to
win for France another glorious Fontenoy." And
"we still cherish a grateful recollection of the many
kindnesses received from that enlightened, generous,
and chivalrous nation, who, in the days of Ireland's
persecution, admitted our students into her colleges,
our soldiers into her armies, our kings into her
palaces, and our exiles into her homes." The last extract
is from the letter of the Rev. Father Blake, parish
priest of Moy yore, Mullingar. The workmen of Brus hna
Mills, Kilbegganovrite, "We herewith enclose our
mite for the relief of the wounded soldiers. The
memory of France shall never be eradicated from
the hearts of Irishmen." Messrs. Dorney and
Rooney, of Monosterean, have sent M. Lesage, for
the same purpose, a cheque for £2O, regretting the
amount is not " one hundred times more."

Government, not to speak of civilian uses. All horses
fit for service, nags yet thoroughly sound and active,
have become exceedingly valuable, but " weedy
screws," or animals " touched in the wind"
can be had on the other hand for a
song. As proof of this, we are told
by a trustworthy correspondent that, owing to
the dearth of provender, " screws" with a good deal
of work still left in them, which a month ago would
have fetched £2O, may now be picked up by enter-
prising equestrians for about 10s. each.

HER MAJESTY'S DOCKYARDS.

News from Chatham states that the Lords of the Ad-
miralty have directed that the workmen in that dockyard,
when employed working overtime, shall not work more
than fourteen hours a day. Parties of non-commissioned
officers and men belonging to the various corps at
Chatham garrison are being instructed daily in
the use of the Snider breech-loading rifle, with which
the whole of the troops there are now armed.
The addition of 400 men to the newly established Army
Service Corps has been carried out, and the force will now
contain three additional companies in the transport and
two in the supply branch. Owing to the degree of educa-
tion required to qualify, there is some difficulty in obtain-
ing competent candidates for the Royal Engineers, where
about 140 young men of superior intelligence are required
to form a field telegraph train.
On Wednesday afternoon a deputation of members of
the Woolwich Local Board of Health and other influen-
tial residents of _ the district had an interview, by
appointment, with Mr. Cardwell, at the War-office,
with reference to the proposed appropriation by the
Government of the largest portion of the Woolwich Dock-
yard for military purposes. It appears that, in reply to
advertisements, tenders have been sent to the Govern-
ment for various sections of the dockyard, in accordance
with plans issued by the Admiralty. Whether these
tenders have been accepted is not at present known, but
several of the buildings have been transferred to the War
Department for officers' residences, and the establishment
has been surveyed by the Engineer Department, with a
view to its adaptation for general military purposes,
including the slaughtering of beasts for the supply of the
garrison, the storage of war material, &c. The depu-

Greenwich), Messrs. Fairchild, Rugg, Shershy, &c., urged
the advisability of the Government adhering to its origi-
nal intention of disposing of the whole of the dock-
yard in preference to the proposed plan, as no necessity
existed for its transfer to the War Department, for which
it was quite unfitted. Mr. Cardwell said, in reply, that
the statement made should receive the utmost considera-
tion, and intimated his intention to make a personal in-
spection of the dockyard.

FRENCH SIEGES.

An American journal reminds its readers that
Metz and Nancy have both successfully withstood
sieges in their time. In 1552 Metz was besieged
by the armies of the Emperor Charles the Filth,
but the Duke of Guise, who commanded the garri-
son, made such a successful defence that the Ger-
mans were obliged to raise the siege.
In .1476 Charles the Bold attacked Nancy,
but met with no success. He was, indeed, over-
thrown in consequence of his attempt. The Duke
of Lorraine sallied forth and defeated him in
January 1477. In those days there were no needle-
guns nor mitrailleurs, but the towns which so bravely
held their own in ancient days are capable of stout
defence, even against modern artillery, and the
American critic thinks he would be a bold leader
who marched on Paris leaving Metz and Strasbourg
uncaptured in his rear.

GERMAN INVASIONS OF FRANCE.

Champagne, whose fertile plains are now, to the
humiliation of France, being trodden by German
hosts, has been already three times the scene of similar
invasions. In 451 the savage host pf Attila, "the
Scourge of God," crossed the Rhine to ravage Gaul,
and, after sacking several towns, advanced to that Metz
which is now engaging so much of our attention.
Metz resisted, but was soon taken by assault, and left a
heap of smoking ruins. Chalons, Rheims, and other
cities were similarly treated, and finally the invaders
besieged Orleans. The place was about to capitulate
after a month's resistance, when the Roman Governor
Actius appeared with a large force of Gallo-Romans,
and succeeded in dislodging the intruder. Several
desperate fights took place between Actius and
Attila, who were the two foremost leaders of their
time, ending in the flight of Attila and his Huns
back to what is now Germany. The number of
killed and wounded in the last battle is
said to have been 170,000, a calculation which
outstrips even the horrors of Woerth and Rezonville.
Foreign armies often trod the plains of Champagne
between the fifth and the eighteenth centuries, but
the next great invasion of the French provinces on
the east was in comparatively modern times.
Dumouriez's repulse of the Austrians and Prussians
in 1792 forms one of the most exciting pages in the
history of the revolutionary armies. if Count
Palikao could put the cool and daring general who
declined to alter his plans because the Uhlans had
advanced within fifteen leagues of Paris, and who
dashed through the passes of the Argonne moun-
tains before the front of the slow and cautious Aus-
trian army, at the head of affairs for a few weeks, the
Crown Prince might find the road to Paris more diffi-
cult. The German forces were driven across the frontier
by Dumouriez, the Assembly refusing to treat with
them on French soil, but nearly a quarter of a
century later the plains of Champagne witnessed the
closing scenes in the great Napoleon drama. We all
know the story of 1814. That of 1870 promises to be
scarcely less eventful.

CHELSEA HOSPITAL.

The committee appointed to consider the question of
retaining Chelsea Hospital as an institution for invalided
soldiers, have reported that the hospital is an almshouse of
the best description for the most infirm and helpless of a body
of about 64,000 pensioners,
,and that, although like every such
institution, it involves in a great degree the separation of
its inmates from their families and friends, it is very cer-
tain that no increase of pension that could be given would
compensate for the comforts both in lodging, food, and
medical attendance afforded by the Hospital to those who
are without friends, and are incapacitated by infirmities
fromaking care of themselves.

THE LAST OF THE BUSHRANGERS.

The Australian papers give an account of the
death of the last of the bushrangers, which was
dramatic enough for a romance or a ballad. The
offender, whose name was Ward, was known in the
north-east districts of New South Wales under the
sobriquet of the Thunderbolt. He had long been
the terror of the vicinity, but as he did not murder his
victims but only plunderedthem, he seems not to have
been very actively pursued. Among the scattered in-
habitants of the bush he had even, itis said, many friends
who assisted him. He was finally hunted down by a
mounted trooper, named Walker. The chase was's,
hot one, for Ward was also on horseback, and pur-
suer and pursued galloped recklessly over " tussocks"
of earth and grass and boggy waterholes. The
robber was full of resource, for he knew the chase
was oue of life or death, but he was at last driven
to dismount, and the trooper shot his horse dead.
When summoned to surrender, the bushranger
refused, and presented his pistol at Walker, but the
officer was too quick for him, and fired, wounding
him mortally. Even then he made an effort to
grapple with his enemy, but another blow despatched
him. The people of New South Wales, who will,
no doubt, long tell tales of his prowess. and his
daring, may rejoice that their border is at last clear
of bushrangers.

DETERMINED TRUMPETERS.

The Trades Bands, who are " associated with the
historic incidents of Dublin, and identified with the
interests, liberties, and aspirations of the citizens,"
have held an indignant meeting, to discuss the course
they shall pursue with respect to the recent Police
prohibition issued against their promenading in the
Irish metropolis. The chairman at the assembly
was a Mr. Kennedy, a representative of the " Stone-
cutters' Brass Band," while a pro. tem. hon. secretary
was furnished by an institution significantly called
the " Wolf Tone Court," probably of Odd Fellows.
Quite forgetful of the numerous appeals against
the performance of the bands from the
citizens "with whose aspirations," &c., they
were identified, the speakers declared that
the police bye-law which "struck at the prin-
ciples of freedom" was "instigated from the dic-
tates of the alien and unscrupulous London 7imes."
It was an "arbitrary ukase" in the opinion of the
historically interesting trumpeters, and although
they were ready to recognise that the police were
bound to regulate the order of the thoroughfares
and to admit that in some instances juvenile musi-
cians had acted with impropriety, still the bandsmen
proper had not, it was contended, induced distur-
bance or annoyance, and it was therefore a duty in-
cumbent upon them to defend their privileges and
to preserve " their traditional power and future in-
fluence." Atter much oratorical contention in
this direction the moment was reached when
the trumpeters present might, it was thought,
be trusted with a resolution, and accordingly une
was moved urging that a protective organisation of
the bands in each of the city wards should be at
once formed. This resolution and another con-
deinnatory of the " alien and unscrupulous" news-
paper were subsequently declared carried, and the
bandsmen were then dismissed with the assurance
that the subject should not be allowed to lose im-
portance or seriousness between that and the next
meeting of the general committee, who would frame
rules for the guidance of the wards, and take other
steps to guarantee the liberty of Dublin citizens to
"walk as they please in their own streets."

CHILD MURDER IN DORSETSHIRE.

The Poole magistrates have committed a man and
woman, named Harriet Scott and Richard Beasant, for
trial at the next Dorset Assizes on the charge of wilfully
murdering the illegitimate child of the female pri-
soner. The man Beasant lodged in the cottage
of Scott's mother, who is a widow, and the two prisoners
kept company together. The young woman was sus-
pected of being enceinte, but when inquiries were made of
her she denied it. She was, however, taken
ill, and went to a closet, where subsequently
the dead body of a -female child was found. The body
was taken into the house, and Beasant carried it
away, and • buried it. When apprehended Bea-
sant was told that Scott was very ill, upon
which he said, " I'm afraid she'll not get over it !
I am sorry I did not take the child out of the closet when
I heard it cry, then I should have been clear of this job."
Dr. Crabb proved that the child was born alive, and the
prisoners were committed for trial, as stated.

AN ENGLISH VESSEL STOPPED BY A FRENCH
FRIGATE.

Captain Davison, of the Charles Tennant, just arrived
from Hamburg, reports that he was questioned by a
French frigate about an hour's sail from Cuxhaven, but
allowed to proceed. Soon afterwards he passed seven
French ironclads and one corvette at anchor ; also three
merchant steamers, supposed to be prizes, all discharging
into the men-of-war's boats. Hamburg is full of soldiers,
who are billeted on the inhabitants. Cuxhaven is being
placed in a state of defence.

BLOWING UP THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
Some interesting submarine operations by Royal En-
gineers have just been brought to a close, having been
undertaken for blowing up the hull of the steamer Golden
Fleece, which wreck has for several months been in the
way of the navigation of Scilly Island, in the Bristol
Channel. For the last four months numbers of
explosions have been made, the result being
that the framework of the ship was blown
to atoms, but hitherto the cylinders had resisted every
effort to dislodge them. Yesterday afternoon a continued
charge of five cylinders of gunpowder, each. 500 pounds,
making in all a total monster charge of 250,000 pounds,
was exploded amongst the boilers, and a dense volume of
small coals and debris was thrown up in a column of water
50 or 60 feet high, and the channel will now be cleared
sufficient for any vessel to pass over in safety at low water
spring tides.

LORD DERBY ON PUBLIC HOSPITALS.

The advantages and disadvantages of the system
of public hospitals supported by voluntary contribu-
tions have been analysed by Lord Derby in his usual
sensible, straightforward fashicn. The principle is,
he says, inconvenient, in so much as it is apt to
overtax the willing, patriotic, and warm hearted, as
well as those who occupy prominent positions;and it
may fairly be argued that a general hospital rate
would not be less justifiable than a poor rate or an
education rate. On the other hand it is undesirable
that the weight of public burdens should
be materially increased, and it is well to leave a wide
field for personal energy and private munificence.
Coming to the practical question of the state of
public health, Lord Derby very forcibly impressed
upon his hearers that statistics gave them a very
inadequate idea of the mischief inflicted by vice,
folly, and sanitary neglect. You may be able, he
said, to show how many people die of bad drainage
in some particular place, or of the effects of drink,
or other vices, but no figures cau give you the
infinitely larger number of constitutions ruined by

such causes which succumb:to slight attacks of illness,
which might otherwise have been resisted. It is
the same with the overcrowding, the foul air, the
excessive labour, the influence of sedentary occupa-
tion. We must remember, however, that all the
worst of these evils are not inevitable, but remedi-
able. We want, says Lord Derby, broad streets,
good drainage, plenty of light, and plenty of air ;
and he undertakes that these good things shall be
secured on his property. If other landlords and
landowners would follow his example we should be
some way on the road to practical sanitary
reform, but even then a great deal would
be left in the people's own hands. All classes
would do well to realise the moral of his admirable
address. The true wealth of a State is not shewn
in the amount of its revenue, nor the increase of its
exports and imports, but in a population not squalid
with dirt nor decimated by disease, but healthy in
body and mind, living in houses which make self-
respect possible, and attached to a country which has
done its duty towards them.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Tms DAY.

STREET FIGHTS. —Harry Russell, 15, and Walter Day,
16, were charged before Mr. Knox at the Marlborough-
street Police-court with behaving in a disorderly manner
in Castle-street East, Oxford-street. From the evidence
of Sergeant Bunger and Police-constable Timms, of the E
division, it appeared that for some nights past the inhabi-
tants of Castle-street East have been much annoyed by
a large number of lade armed with sticks rushing about
the street, pretending to be French and Prussians, and
fighting in parties. Last night the lads assembled again
for another fight, and on their commencing the prisoners
were caught and taken into custody. Sergeant
Bunger handed the following memorial from some
of the inhabitants of Castle-street East to Mr.
Knox : We, the undersigned inhabitants of the district,
hereby certify that for the last two nights, between the
hours of nine and ten, your petitioners have been annoyed
by the assembly of a gang of men and boys armed with
sticks, who without any provocation molest and attack
foot passengers, and otherwise conduct themselves in a
most unseemly manner, to the great annoyance of the
residents, and we pray that such steps may be taken
against the said parties, or any of them who may be
brought before the magistrates, with a view to prevent
the recurrence of the said disorderly conduct.—After
reading the memorial, Mr. Knox said in discharge of his
duty he must stop these riotous proceedings in the streets,
and he should call upon the parents to enter into sureties
for the boys' good behaviour for six months.

REGULATIONS FOR EMIGRATION.

The Victoria Parliament has been occupied
with the consideration of the emigration regulations
of the Government. With few exceptions the mem-
bers on both sides of the House agreed to the pro-
positions of the Government, and the press for the
most part has followed suit. The regulations are of
a moderate character, and well calculated to meet
with general approval. The selection of emigrants
during every month of the year will be made
in the first instance, from England, Scot-
land, Ireland, and Wales, and be in proportion
to the population of these countries, but if the
funds are not exhausted, they are to be distributed
without regard to nationality. This last provision
will favour the Irish, who have always been more
eager to get out their friends and relatives than any
other nation has been, and used all the funds provided
for the purpose, while the English and Scotch have
allowed portions of their provisions to lapse into the
Treasury. The regulations are of a utilitarian
character, and stipulate that no one shall go out
who is likely to become a burden to the colony. The
code of Victorian emigration contains the most
stringent rules with respect to the health and
strength and soundness of mind of the intending
immigrants.

A very sensible improvement has been made this
year in the conditions attending the sale of old
"Laval stores in her Majesty's dockyards. It has
been a rule, strictly carried out hitherto, that all
hemp rigging,
hawsers, or rope of any kind for sale
should be cut up in 6-feet lengths, and that all
metal work in old lamps , &c., should be broken up.
Under the new conditions rigging, hawsers, and all
rope will be sold in lengths as returned to
store from the ships, and lamps and other
articles built up of metal will be sold whole, and
therefore much better prices will be obtained
than before. The next sale of old stores
has been advertised, by order of the Superintendent
of Contracts, for Wednesday next, the 21 of
March. Since this advertisement appeared, how-
ever, and the circulars of sale had been distri-
buted,the Superintendent made the discovery
thate day fixed by him for the sale is ash-
Wedaesday. On Saturday last, therefore, another
advertisement from Whitehall appeared in the
Portsmouth papers announcing that the sale of old
naval stores in her Majesty's dockyard at torts-
mouth, which had been fixed for Wednesday, the
2d of March, was postponed to Wednesday, the
9th of March,

TRADE AND NAVIGATION.

Accounts have been published relating to the
trade and navigation of the United Kingdom during
the last year. The computed real value of the principal
articles of foreign and colonial merchandise imported
in the eleven months ending the 30th of November
amounts to £217,070,924 sterling. An abstract of the
value of imports in each month shews that a far larger
quantity of merchandise arrives in some months than
in others. Thus, last May the imports amounted to
over twenty millions, while in January they were
only ten millions. These figures show a slight
decrease, when compared with those of 1868, but a
considerable increase upon those of 1867. The
total declared value of British and Irish produce
exported amounts to £190,04230, being an increase
of nine millions over that of 1867 and 1868 respec-
tively. The monthly abstract here shows that a
much more even rate is observed throughout the
year in the export than in the import trade. In
estimating the dimensions of our export trade it
should be remembered that the amount quoted has
reference only to articles produced in our own
land, and does not include the large quantity
Jf foreign and colonial goods we send away annually.
Ita ppears that the Customs have pocketed £22,224,203
as duty on the imported goods of the year. One
more fact Mr. Fonblanque favours us with is of
interest at the present time ; the home-made spirits
consumed in 1869 in England, Ireland, and Scotland
amount to over eleven, five, and four million gallons
respectively in each case, showing, an increase when
compared with 1867 and 1868.
