A PREWTy QU4RREI4,

No doubt the spectators at the Bow-street Police-
court on Thursday were much entertained when
they saw Mr. M'Arthur, the man► of law,
summone.d to justify an assault upon
Colonel Bowland Moffatt, the man of the
sword. The pugnacious attributes of the learned
profession generally assume the form of Verbal
violence, but its representative in question, gave his
opponent a taste of his power in a different manner
than usual, he kicked—so it is alleged—his
antagonist. The complainant was a director
of the Cornish Granite Company (Limited),
and defendant had been a director. On the Ist inst.
a meeting of the company was held, and some sore
feeling which had subsisted between them culmi-
nated on the occasion. The complainant wished
the secretary, who the defendant alleged, no longer
occupie I the office, to enter the board room. De-
fendant said he should not enter, and he would pre-
vent his admission by force if necessary. The.
gallant colonel is reported to have thereupon
stigmatised Mr. M'Arthur as an imper-
tinent blackguard." This was too much,

for the dignity of the solicitor, and he turned round
ar.d, it is said, "kicked " the gallant complainant on
the leg. The magistrate very properly remarked that
the complainant had acted improperly in using
of ensive language, but held at the same time that
this impropriety did not justify the defendant in
using his boots as he did, and he was accordingly
fined 20s.

THE DECEMBER ECLIPSE.

The Government has positively refused in spite
of the plainest precedents to allow tha use of a ship
for the English scientific authbrities who are going
to observe the solar eclipse from Spain and Sicily in
December. Another Government more enlightened
than our own apparently, namely, that of America,;
is making extensive preparations, and Nature says
Englishmen must fall back, in a research
which is eminently English, upon the re-
sults of its labours, and those of
the continental missions. The American corps of
observation will represent deputies from the Naval
Observatory and eminent professors from Harvard
University. These gentlemen will be stationed re-
spectively at Malaga, Sicily, and some place in
Turkey most available for making the best reoords and
views. Rear-Admiral Glisson was to have give» his
co-operation to the representatives of the United
States: who were bound for Sicily, but owing to his
having to move his squadron to the protection of
the Baltic, the astronomical party will have to
be content with a less dignified commander in the ex-
pedition—one perhaps, however, whose aid may ulti-
mately be extremely valuable. It is generally regretted
by international scientific institutions that the
United Kingdom, which has heretofore always been
foremost in initiating and helping the development
of science, should on this remarkable occasion refuse
to sanction and assist any enterprise which would
assuredly serve to extend our knowledge of the
puzzling solar system ant of the celestial bodies
generally.

MARSHAL C ANROBERT.

The Brussels correspondent of the Siecle says ;—" I have
just heard good news, but I cannot guarantee its accuracy.
Marshal Canrobert has saved his division. He was in
reserve ; and by a happy movement of retreat he was not
surrounded, and was therefore not compelled to capitulate.
May he arrive in Paris in good time. I care not by what
route !"

THE SEIZURE OF ARMS IN CORK.

The man Coghlan, in whose house a number of rifles,
bayonets, and cartridges were seized on Thursday night,
was discharged by the Cork magistrates yesterday, as it
was proved that he had no access to the room of his
lodger Adams, where the arms were found. Adams, it is
stated, is the son of a Fenian leader who died some time
since. The rifles found were muzzle-loaders, though the
cartridges were for breech-loaders.

PROFESSOR ATTFIELD, Analyst to the Royal Pharma-
ceutical Society of Great Britain, reports as follows :---" Its rich-
ness in gluten, or flesh-forming material and phoshates, or bone
and teeth-forming substances, shows it to be a very valuable and
nutritious food, especially for children. It is incomparably
superior to arrowroot, corn-flour, and other forms of starch, which
contribute but little to the growth o renewal of bone or muscle.

ADDRESS BY THE MAYOR OF PARIS.

M. Emmanuel Arago, Mayor of Paris, has issued an
address to the Parisians. He tells them the Garde Mobile
of the departments is hastening to the defence of the capi-
tal, and he calls upon the citizens to open their doors to
them. This will be required only for a time, as barracks
are being rapidly constructed for them. 'Only those who
can afford it will have Gardes billeted upon them. The
persons who have left Paris will not be exempt. Their
houses will be opened, and made available as lodgings for
these troops.

A. WORD FOR WILLIAM.

IT is impossible to read the full text of the King
of rnussiA's letter to Queen AUGUSTA, written on
Saturday, and to doubt the writer's sincerity. There
is sincerity in every line. The King sees history un-
rolling itself hour by hour before him, and
he sees the hand of GOD in that great drama
which has been acting for the last two months.
He sees himself the foremost figure save one, and he
is lost iu wonder at the rapidity and the stupendous
character of the events. He is amazed that he has
been chosen as the instrument for working out the
Divine purpose. As he says, he has fought one great
successful war, and he could not at his age expect
to fight another. Yet this war, which has been
none of his seeking, this which will be
famous through all time has been waged and
won under his leadership. In truth a man must be
very callous or very vain who was not moved, to such
thoughts as these. He must either have failed to
recognise their importance, or he must have had an
overweening sense of his own importance, if he had
not been awed by the greatness of the results and
the comparative insignificance of the instrument.
King Wiwam was neither callous nor vain. On
the contrary, he has always shewn himself a modest
and Godfearing man. Even the famous words
which he uttered at Konigsberg, when, on assuming
the crown during his coronation, he declared that
he wore it by the grace of Con—words which at
that time terrified Liberal Germany, and made the
world believe that they saw in the new Sovereign a
restorer or the antiquated doctrine of' the divine
right of kings—hear another interpretation now.

➢IR. GOLDWIN SMITH ON THE WAR.

Mr. Goldwin Smith has written from Ithaca, New
York, to a friend in this country, declaring that the only
two good reasons for going to war are self-defence and the
defence of public right. If England had recognised this
as a case of the second kind, and taken sides openly
with Prussia there would have been no war. But our
Government is still a class government, while it has lost
the power of a dominant aristocracy. We need not be
false to public morality, however, and pretend both sides
are wrong when there is no quarrel at all, but "an out-
rage committed by an Imperial brigand." In America
public opinion grows more and more German. There can
be no doubt as to the tendency of everything genuinely
American.

THE UNITY OF CHRISTENDOM.—The second and
concluding services in connection with the anniversary of
the Association for the Promotion of the Unity of
Christendom took place on Thursday night at All
Saints' Church, Lambeth. The congregation was
not so large ,As on the previous night as, although the
body of the sacred edifice was well filled, there
were but a few people in the galleries. The service. which
was fully choral, was conducted in very much the same
manner as on Wednesday. The sermon was preached by
the Rev. George Nug4e, rector of Wymering, who selected
for his text the 15th verse of the 11th chapter of
the Revelation : "And the seventh angel sounded
and there were great voices in Heaven saying, " The
kingdoms of this world axe become the kingdoms of our
Lord and of His Chrict." The rev. gentleman was
listened to with great attention, and there were none of
the marks of disapproval which characterised the service
of the previous evening.

THE SIEGE OF PARIS,

The Telegraph does not utterly despair of peace till the
first fatal bomb-shell has fallen upon the roofs of the
French capital. But most assuredly Moltke will not
wait to let Paris meditate the probable effect of that
bomb-shell ; and hence, while there is time, the Tele-
graph asks the journals and statesmen of the
metropolis to comprehend what the capture of Paris
implies. It means the seizure of all the bullion in the
cellars of the Bank of France, the regalia, the
French crown, the precious stones, securities and
title deeeds there deposited. It means also the
confiscation of the resources of the private
banks. But this is comparatively nothing.
The priceless treasures of art, the luxurious ornaments
and lovely wonders of the capital will be German by the
laws of war, and by the laws of war King William may
" require" the money for his campaign from the pockets
of Paris when all portable property is realised. His
soldiers, rendered safe by union and discipline against all
that patriotic mobs may do, can and will live in plenty
at the cost of Paris, calmly awaiting the formation of a
representative Government which King William may
deign to recognise, and which will serve the purpose of
registering his terms of peace. "We will burn it,"
screams the Gaulois—" all but the Ile de la Cit 4
—and then we will leave standing the Palace
of Justice, the Hotel Dieu and Notre Dame, to
be witnesses of truth, of charity, of eternal
hope." Heaven give these madmen a gleam of
reason before it is too late— or let them rather leave
Charenton and the other hospitals for lunatics as the
typical relics of a civilised city which preferred slaughter,
rapine, misery, and the example of Moscow, to the simple
course of confessing that the country had committed a
great mistake, and that it must make the best of a bad
position !

made this a most unpalatable counsel. It was a cowardice
—une lachete—to desert the Palace. She would rather be
treated as was Marie Antoinette by the mob than seek
safety in an unworthy flight. For a time all persuasion
was useless ; but at length her 'Majesty's mood calmed
somewhat,and she saw the utter uselessness of remaining.

Attended only by the two companions • we have named,
the Empress fled through the long gallery of
the Louvre ; but suddenly her course was stop-
ped short by a locked door. The little party
could distinctly hear the shouts of the crowds who were
invading the private gardens of the Tuileries. M. de
Lesseps, to gain time, proposed that he should go out on
the terrace and get the soldiers on guard to hold back the
people for a few minutes, while in addition he would
delay the crowds by addressing them. The resort to this
expedient was not necessary. Madame le Breton found
the key, opened the • door that had obstructed their pro-
gress, and gave egress to her Majesty—who, accompanied
only by her tried friend, issued into the street at the bot-
tom of the Louvre. There they hurriedly entered a common
Awe, not without a risk of detection on the spot ; for a
diminutive gamin de Paris, not more than twelve years
old, shouted, l'lmperatrice !' Luckily, no one
about heard or heeded him ; and the cab got safely away
with the two ladies. They drove to M. de Lesseps's
house in the Boulevard de Malesherbes, where the Em
press sat until she was joined by M. de Metternich, who
did what he could to facilitate her depari. ire to a place of
safety. Later in the evening, the Empress, still accom-
panied by Madame le Breton, drove to the Gare du Nord,
escaped all detection.—thanks to the thick veil which she
wore—and at seven o'clock rolled safe and unsuspected
away towards the Belgian frontier."

A PRUSSIAN GENERAL ON THE SIEGE
OF PARIS...

A French journal publishes the opinion of one of the
' most experienced of the Prussian Generals on the diffi-
culties of the siege of Paris. He says, " Admitting that
the invading armies could advance on Paris could they
overcome the resistance. that will be opposed to them in the
immense intrenched camp of which the siege will be at
least as difficult as that of Sebastopol ? Supplies
of all kinds can be sent from the interior to the capital,
and without an overwhelming superiority in numbers it
must be almost impossible to take possession of Paris by
force of arms, and thus to become masters of the whole of
France. Paris will never be in our power, unless political
circumstances or interested motives shall induce its defen-
ders to throw open its gates to us."
London, England, 1870-09-10

ARMS FOR FRANCE.

After all it seems that the story about the manu-
facture of arms in England for the service of the
French Is not altogether apocryphal. When it was
rumoured that 40,000 rifles were being made
at Birmingham for exportatiou to France no little
alarm was felt throughout the country, which was
apprehensive of additional complications on the
continent. Eventually it was stated that theta was
no foundation for the statement and Mr.
Muntz, the member for Birmingham, after inquiries
as to whether so large a number of arms were to be
shipped, wrote to the newspapers in which he stated
that all attempts had failed to elicit information
which would lead to the discovery of the mysterious
40,000 Sniders. This much he appeared con-
fident of; that Birmingham was innocent. But
if we are to place any faith in the statement
of Mr. Pollaky, superintendent of the well-known
private inquiry office, there is only too much truth
in the story as it was at first told. He declares that
227 cases, representing 4,540 Sniders with bayonets,
were shipped on board a steamer at Southampton
for Havre on the oth inst. It makes it look unplea-
sant for Mr. Muntz when we are tcld that these
were positively despatched from Birmingham.

WOE TO THE CONQUERORS.

Under this title the Avenir of Berlin has published an
interesting article from the pen of M. Jacob Venedy, an
old Baden representative. He writes as follows :—` Woe
to the conquered' is the dictum that is universally recog-
nised; but we say, Woe to the conquerors,' and this
version will be found mu.ch oftener verified
in the world's history. The Roman victories lost
everything to Rome, its liberty, its valour, its morals, its
virtue, and finally its dominion. The victories of the
French Republic lied to the Caesarism of the First
Napoleon, the victories of Napoleon led to the subjugation
of France, and rendered the existence of the Second
Empire possible, and the victories of the Second Empire
in the Crimea and Italy have brought about the Mame-
lukism which has to-day sent France into the abyss. We
fear that our victories may produce similar consequences,
and it is our duty to express that fear. The great successes
which the Germans have met with are likely to make
them arrogant, and disdainful and oppressive
to other people. The tone which the German
press has asanmed of late justifies this warning, and its
overweening presumption is offensive to the Germans,
and they should uproot the tare before it has taken root.
Towards France this overweening language is most
unsuitable. The combatant gives respect to the
enemy he fights with. We trust that victori-
ous Germany will impose no terms on France
which may dishonour her and render her the mortal enemy
of their land, and the natural ally of all their enemies.
The French nation has merited a chastisement in conse-
quence of her unjust conduct towards Germany ; but
Germany, on hem part, will also deserve punishment if,

when victorious, she gives way to the idea of an Imperial
domirration represented by the throne of a German Sove-
•reign. The Germano-Roman Empire has provoked in
Germany during four centuries the most incalculable evils.
The idea of a French Empire, which goes back to the
days of Louis XIV., after having surfeited France with
glory, has led to her disorganisation and her present mis-
fortunes. May the German spirit avert from the German
people the errors of an Imperial sovereignty. To- day
Germany has revenged on Imperial France her dominant
and conquering tendencies, but woe to Germany if, being
victomious, she substitutes her own conquering notions for
those of the conqueresd.

337,000 AGAINST 1,250,000.

The Opinion Nationale says that it appears from official
documents found at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that
when M. Gramont declared to the Corps Legislatif that
war was pronounced he had received from the diplomatic
agents of Germany a detailed account of the forces which
Prussia could send against France—forces admirably
equipped, organised and prepared a long time ago, and
all ready to start. These forces presented a
total of 1,124,000 infantry, and 130,000 cavalry,
altogether making more than 1,200,Q00 soldiers,
with a formidable artillery. At the same time
the accounts given of the French army only gave the
figure of 337,000 men, including the troops which were in
Algeria. It was, then, with the knowledge that they had
only 33Z,000 armed men to oppose to 1,200,000 Germans
that the Ministers of the Empire and Napoleon 111.
declared war, and exposed France to the disasters into
which she has now fallen.

there is One by whom Kings reign and Princes
decree justice, awl that the work to
rhich he was called nine years ago was
Go .'s work. He believes that die work which he
has just consummated is so no legs. The man who
in success thus keeps humble, is the man to feel for
those whom adversity has overwhelmed. In this
same letter he refers to the interview which he had
with NAPOLEON, in words which tell of deep
emotion. He says, " what my feelings were—l had
seen NAPOLEON, only three years before, at the
summit of his power—is more than I can describe.
We were both much moved at seeing each other
under such circumstances." Well might they have
been moved. The last. time the two Sovereigns
met WILLIAM was the guest of NAPOLEON,
in the most noble city of the world
at the very zenith of its splendour and
magnificence. Thither had come nearly all the kings
of Europe. It was a parterre des Rois. All around
were the signs of prosperity and rejoicing. And
then—three years later—for the thronged streets of
Paris fall of joyful life, there was the blood-stained
fortress of Sedan ; for the lovely Bois de
Boulogne, thc banks of the Meuse, sodden
with gore, piled up with ghastly fragments of
humanity—" hell let loose." It was on the Champ
de Mars that NAPOLEON built his Temple o. Peace.
Fatal omen, too soon fulfilled. It was on such a
battlefield as the world has scarcely seen before that
he, the author of the Empire which he declared to
be Peace, but which he had endeavoured to establish
by constant war, was overthrown, the captive of his
former guest, who would gladly have kept his friend,
but was forced to be his foe.—Western Morning

OUR DEFENCES.

A correspondent of the Standard who has been
considering the condition of our national defences
under various aspects enters into the vexed question
of the transport and supply of an army. The per-
formance of the Control Department has been far
from equal to its promise. The uninitiated cannot
speak with confidence of its actual condition, but
they believe their old friends, Vested Interests and
Vacillation, to be still behind the curtain. We
are no better off than before, and the great question of
transport and supply in the field seems far from solution.
The Engineers have a sort of military train of their
own, an expensive lnxury with a pontoon train, tool
equipage, tell graph corps, and various other things.
Divisional organisation, the writer in the Standard
argues, may be the best for all concom-
batant branches of the service, but the proposal
of separate organisation for volunteers and militia
shOuld not be tolerated, nor any independence in
those forces recognised. At sea there is much irri-
tation produced by the conveyance of troops in men-
of war transports owing to the clashing of authority.
The writer believes this might be avoided
by the transport ships being officered and
manned by the Naval Reserve. On land
the troops must be transported by railways, but our
arrangements are very inefficient, for after months of
notice the transport of 25,000 volunteers paralyses
our lines; while if the concentration of a real army
were necessary, there would be no notice at all. The
numbers would be 100,000, and cavalry, artillery
trains, and storcs must be carried. We seem to
think that it is all right, says the sceptic, but when
the division at Aldershot can be moved complete to
Gloucester, Northampton, or Chelmsford in twenty-
four hours we shall be able to judge of our powers
of placing ten such divisions in position in the same
time. This would be the first defensive service
demanded of our great railway system. Is it equal
to its performance ?

THE FIRE IN CELIL STREET.

An inquest wag held yesterday at the Vestry Hall, St.
Martin's, to inquire into the circumstances attending the
death of John Forbes, who met his death by a fire in
Cebil-street, Strand. The fire was one of the largest ever
known in the neighbourhood, and the house destroyed
was an old one, and possessed considerable historical in-
terest. Two firemen were seriously injured on the occasion,
and it was some days before the remains of the deceased
were discovered. The inquest on the body was held by Mr.
Langham, coroner, and evidence to the following effect
was adduced,: Mr. Folkstone,accountant,said he knew the
deceased was called John William Richard Forbes. He
was about 30 years of age. They came together from the
West Indies. The steamer arrived at Plymouth on the
evening of the 25th August, and they came to London.
The deceased took up his residence in Cecil-street
the day before the fire,
i on- Friday last. Imme-
diately witness got out into the street, when the
flames rushed out, and it was impossible for the deceased
to have escaped.—Elizabeth Harris said she was staying
with her sister the proprietor of the house, on the night
of the fire. She went to bed shortly after eleven, and
there was no indication of anything burning. She believed
that the fire originated near the pantry, where the can-
dles were kept, and to which the servants had access.
Mr. Childers was in company with deceased on the day
of his death, and said he had received a telegram from
Mr. Forbes, of Elmsfield, Gurtymore, Scotland, stating
that deceased was his son. Deceased was West Indian
agent at St. Kitts to Sir John Arnott and Co., of Cork
and Dublin. The jury returned a verdict of accidental
death, and agreed that there was no evidence to shew how
the fire originated.

THE DEATH OF COLONEL PEMBERTON.

Some additional particulars respecting the melan-
choly death of Lieutenant-Colonel Pembertcn, the
retired officer who was acting as Times correspon-
dent at the seat of war, have reached us. A. few
minutes before the gallant officer received the ball
in his head which killed him, ho was seen in ani-
mated conversation with some members-of the staff
of the Crown Prince of Saxony. It has since
transpired that what Colonel Pemberton
was saying at this time related to his distance
from the enemy. Being every inch a soldier, and
forgetting in the hottest part of the fight that he
was on this occasion only on the field as a corre-
spondent, he gave spurs to his horse, although
he was advised to be careful, and soon afterwards
animal and rider were observed to have fallen. He had
only ridden about a quarter of a mile towards what
he believed to be a deserted French position when
he was suddenly fired upon by the enemy._ As
soon as it was seen that Colonel Pem-
berton was struck down, Captain Furley, an
English Man fortunately, who was attached to the
society tor succouring the wounded. hastened to the
spot where the unfortunate colonel was lying. He
found him dead, and he also discovered that the
cruelty and heartlessness of certain wretches, who
scour even over battle-fields had not been idle qr at
rest, for his clothes had been plundered of the money
he was known to have been possessed of. The
gallant "Kit Pembexton's" remains we have to add
were interred between two poplar trees on the road
to Sedan.

ZADKIEL'S ALMANAC for 1871, now ready,
contains THE YEAR OF FATE FOR FRANCE.
Remarkable Prediction at page 48 of Zadkiel's Almanac for
1853 touching the Emperor of the French —" But let him
not dream of lasting honours, powers, or prosperity. He
shall found no dynasty ; he shall wear no durable Crown.
But in the midst of deeds of blood and slaughter, with
affrighted Europe trembling beneath the weight of his daring
martial hosts, he descends beneath the heavy hand of Fate ;
and falls to rise no more ; with none to mourn him, none
to inherit his renown, none to record his good deeds, and none
to lament his destruction."

FIRE AT THE HOLBORN AMPHITHEATRE.
Only four fires occurred during the last 24 hours,
namely, up to yesterday morning, and out of that
number only the following two were deserving of notice :
One was at the Royal Amphitheatre, High Holborn, and
was caused by some one throwing a light through the
fanlight of the stables at the back of the theatre.
Fortunately, owing to the timely aid afforded, the flames
were confined to the destruction of a quantity of straw,
and damage to the stall boards. It is unknown
whether Mr. Charman, the proprietor of the theatre,
was insured or not. The tire took place from
some unknown cause in the extensive premises
of Mr. J. B. Green, a carpenter and builder,
No. 18, Catherine-street, City-road. In the course of a
few minutes the stores on the ground floor presented a
general mass of flames, and although the engines of the
Metropolitan Brigade were remarkably early in arriving
the flames had taken possession of the upper portions of
the building. The firemen and London Salvage Corps
managed by great perseverance to confine the flames to
Mr. Green's premises,. which were for the most part
destroyed.

AN INFERNAL CRIME.

The crime charged against a man named Lange, a dealer
in picture frames in this city, is one that should give him
a pre-eminence in the criminal catalogue for diabolical
intent. He shipped a box in April last on the New
Orleans steamer and secured an insurance on it of one
thousand six hundred and fifty dollars, and the box
proved to have been prepared with explosive and inflam-
mable material, and was only prevented from burning'
the ship by the watchfulness and activity of the captain.
In the box were vessels of alcohol, gasoline and turpentine,
and fire was apparently to have been set to these by a
chemical that would explode with slight friction. The
friction was provided for by mice shut in a box, who, in
gnawing their way out, were to fire the train that might
have destroyed the ship and all her company at sea. Here,
then, is, if the charge prove true, a man who deliberately
contrives that awful calamity, fire, on a ship at sea—con-
trives the possible frightful death of twenty or thirty per-
sons—to secure the small prize of 1,600 dollars insurance
money. He should be tried by a jury of sea captains and
sailors. It is a remarkable coincidence that this crime
was attempted against the steamer George Washington,
while some years since a mime of the same nature was
contrived in the shipment of goods on the Mississippi
steamer Martha Washing-ton.—New York Herald.
