THE BIRMINGHAM EXPLOSION.

Of those killed on the spot by the explosion at Messrs.
Ludlow's cartridge manufactory, Witton, near Bitming-
ham, on Friday, not more than half will be identified, so
terribly are the remains charred and mutilated. The fol-
lowing have been recognised, not so much by their fea-
tures as by pieces of clothing :—Harriet Smith, aged 16 ;
Selina Bulwant, aged 27 ; Maria Brown, aged 23 : Amelia
Woodman, aged 39 ; Mary Owen, aged 18 ; Jane Ward,
aged 14. The stocking on the leg blown off the body of
another woman has been recognised by her husband, who
has thus learnt that his wife was one of the victims of the
accident. Two of the women received into the Birming-
ham hospital have been prematurely confined, and one not
expected to live. The infants were born, dead. The
total number of deaths is now 23, and others injured are
hourly expected to succumb.

THE ASSAULT ON AN OFFICER IN FER-
MANAGH.

Orders have been received from the Solicitor-General,
by the Crown Solicitor of Fermanagh, to institute pro-
ceedings against Mr. John G. St. Porter, of Belisle,
Sand
the four men who assisted him in the late outrage on
Captain Poynter. The captain wished to seek damages
through a civil court, and declined criminal proceedings ;
but the police objected, and they have issued summonses.
The case will come before the magistrates at Enniskillen
to-day. A great deal of interest has been created at
Enniskillen by this romantic affair ; and the conduct of
the lady who is the cause, of it is much animadverted
upon.

THE ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH EASTERN

RAILWAY.

At a special sitting of the South Shields County
Magistrates on Saturday afternoon, Robert Hedley, the
pointsman who caused the collision at Brockley Whine
Station, was brought up on the charge that he did
feloniously kill and slay Frederick George Younge and
others on December 6th, contrary to the statute. Alfred
Harrision, engineer of the North-Eastern Railway, ex-
plained the nature of the collision. Mr. Swinburne,
perm Anent way inspector of the company, said that he
bad not given prisoner specific instructions regarding the
points, but he knew his duties well. The practice was
to put a new pointsman on probation with the old one.
Prisoner's wages were 17s. a week, and he was on duty
from ten in the morning till forty-five minutes past ten
o'clock at night, Prisoner was in charge the wholly/ that

SCIENCE AND ART INSTRUCTION FOR WOMEN

The great success which attended the course of
elementary instruction in science at South Kensington
last season has determined the committee to continue
the system, but on a more extensive scale. A series
of elementary lectures to ladies will be delivered
twice a week. The services of Professors Huxley,
Guthrie, and Oliver, have again been secured, and the
President of the British Association will undertake
the first part on elementary physiography, a descrip-
tion and analysis of those obvious and natural facts
and events which are commonly treated of under the
head of physical geography. This instruction will
be followed .by lectures on elementary physics and
chemistry and elementary biology. An advanced or
supplemental course of lectures will be given on
light and heat, and on human physiology. Art
lectures will also be a prominent feature in the
instruction.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN THEATRES.

Mr. Dion Boucicault regrets that in English theatres

the prices of adMission should still remain so high as
they are. The results of the "pestilent" system are
that the chief houses are only partially filled by a
paying audience, and remunerative salaries are, in
consequence, withheld from our best comedians, who
are obliged, latterly, to leave England in large
numbers to reap the golden harvest awaiting
actors of every degree in other countries.
On the subject of American theatres the famous
dramatist has a great deal to say. Artists who
receive four pounds a week in England find engage-
ments at fifteen and twenty pounds a week in the
States. The rents of the New York theatres vary
from four thousand to ten thousand pounds a year.
Managers are prosperous, and are, for the most
part, men of substance. These happy consequences
are all mainly brought about by the price of almis-
sion being always fixed at two shillings and one
shilling to the best places. Mr. 13oucicault's ex-
perience leads him to state, moreover, that the
audiences at Niblo's have always been as select
as the most fastidious person could desire.
This, however, he admits, is also in great
part owing to the character of the entertain-
went, which cannot but regulate in every
theatre the quality of the public. Mr. Boucicault,
who, according to his own impression, has devoted
his life's work "to the intellectual amusement of the
people," concludes a long letter to the papers by ad-
vocating the construction of a dramatic house in
London on the American plan—a house to which
ladies and gentlemen might go to see a worthy play
ithout appearing in full dress, and where in every
other respect the effete and obstructive systems of
present London management might be abolished.

INQUEST ON CAPTAIN HATCHELL.

An inquest was held yesterday on the body of Captain
Hatchell, 43rd Regiment, who, with Lieutenant Nugent,
Royal Engineers, was drowned in Cork harbour on Tues-
day week. Mr. Flyn, master of Lieutenant Nugent's
yacht, deposed that the two officers had been sailing on
the Tuesday, at seven in the evening, the water being
quite calm. They'left the yacht in a punt to return
to Curiisk Fort. He noticed Captain Hatchell
sitting in the middle of the punt, and before leaving
warned him to sit in the stern to trim the boat. He
believed Captain Hatchell might have changed his
position after leaving the yacht, and in doing so upset
the punt. The body, when found, was only partly
clothed, and it is supposed that deceased, while in the
water, contrived to divest himself of his boots and outer
coat. A verdict of " Accidental death " was returned.
Deceased was a native of Wexford, 32 years of age, and
unmarried.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A COASTGUARD
OFFICER.

The Admiralty have ordered an investigation into the
facts of an extraordinary affair, in which an officer of the
Coastguard division in North-west Cornwall is c'aarged
with an attempt to murder one of his men. The person
in question is the chief boatman, named O'Brien, who,
having been annoyed by the second boatman, named. Ball, in
consequence of his claiming to have charge of some
ammunition, ordered the latter to meet • him at five
o'clock in the morning in a desolate spot near the open
shaft of an abandoned mine on the cliffs by the sea at
Gwithian. The statement of Ball is that on arriving
there he was knocked down by O'Brien and dragged seve-
ral yards along the ground towards the shaft of the mine,
but by a desperate effort he regained his legs and ran
away. He reached home with difficulty, and has since
been in a dangerous state. /The chief boatman was
immediately suspended.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5,
Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years
this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number
of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan
adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London
and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and
faithful addresses have been given.
During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly
every week in some of the most frequented districts of the
metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen ones.

To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are
earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John
Stabb, lion. Sec., 6, Red Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the
Union Bank of London (Carey-street Branch), W.C.

THE STRANDING OF THE GLENCAIRN.

An inquiry, directed by the Board of Trade, has been
held at Ardrossan, relative to the circumstances attending
the stranding of the ship Glencairn, of Ardrossan, which
sailed from Liverpool for Quebec on the 15th September,
and went ashore on the day following during a fog in
Castletown Bay, Isle of Man. The decision was given
yesterday. The defence urged an alleged error on the
compasses of a quarter of a point, and the thick weather.
The opinion of the court, however, was that the master
was at fault, as he neglected to use his lead, and did not
make due allowance for the spring flood which was sett-

ling landward. Captain Drous's certificate was accordingly
suspended for three months.

PAPAL ZOUAVES AT LIVERPOOL

The French Canadian contingent of the Papal
Zouaves, numbering two hundred and nine men,
sailed yesterday from Liverpool for New York,
en route for Canada, in the steamer Idalio. Major

Blundell, and other influential Roman Catholic residents,
were present on board. Great enthusiasm was manifested
by all, several of the soldiers stating their intention of
returning shortly to Europe.

VIE ANNEXATION OF ALSACE AND LORRAINE,

The Telegraph says the forcible annexation of Alsace
and Lorraine would be a return to that barbarous policy
which formerly transferred people from one State to
another at the will of a conqueror, with as contemptuous
a defiance of the people's own wish as if they were so
many cattle. Even Napoleon 111. did not join Savoy and
Nice to France without ascertaining the wishes of the
people by means of a Plebiscite. In reviving the
old, hard, absolutist system, Count Bismarck would put
back the political clock of Europe for fifty years. All
that Liberalism had gained by winning official recognition
for the principle that human beings are not like shedp,
would be imperilled by the enforcement of " the blood
and iron " doctrine that Prussia may force Alsace and
Lorraine to receive German governors, submit to
German laws, pay " the blood tax " of the German army
system, and accept a German form of education, merely
because she is strong and they are weak. Morever, the
annexation of two bitterly hostile provinces would
bring
.undiluted evil to the Fatherland itself. The
whole of Liberal Europe wishes to see that country
united and strong, because it would secure the peace of
the Continent by checking France on the one hand, and
Russia on the other, and because, in a state of political
tranquillity, the German people could devote their won-
derful powers of industry and brain to the labours of
peaceful progress. But the annexation of Alsace and
Lorraine would bring an element of discord into
the Fatherland. .Those provinces would be dis-
conted, hostile, and ready to seize every opportunity
of throwing off the yoke of conquest. And since they
must be held down by main force, they would make the
supremacy of the military class in the political councils of
Germany inevitable, postponing for -a generation, perhaps,
the triumph of that Liberal movement which is the hope
of educated Europe.

INDIAN NEWS.

A Bombay paper says :—" The reply of the Duke of
Argyll to the memorial of the inhabitants of Calcutta,
praying that the 3-i income-tax be disallowed, and a Royal
Commission appointed to inquire into the administration
of the finance of the empire, is dated London, August 4,
and in these words :—` I regret very much that, under
existing circumstances, I am unable to comply with their
request' "
The war in Europe extends its influence to the remotest
corner of the Punjaub. The shawl-workers, whose
manufactures find their readiest market in France, are
almost all thrown out of employ. In Umritsur, where
there are thousands of Cashmerees employed by the great
native or French shawl merchants, the looms are almost
all stopped, and it is feared that much distress is
inevitable.

lecture in that town on " The Kingdom of Italy," and
was enthusiastically received. He gave an interesting

LOSS OF A VESSEL AND CREW.

Intelligence has reached Londonderry that the ship
Sydney, commanded by Captain Hamilton, which left
Quebec for Greenock, with a cargo of timber, on the
15th of September, was driven by the late storm on Glen-
head Point, County Donegal, where the vessel became a
total wreck. All hands, numbering 21, perished, with the
exception of two men, who, after struggling with the
waves for a long time, succeeded in climbing up a cliff
1,600 feet high, and reaching a house. The vessel has
been driven into an indentation in the cliffs. It is feared
that other casualties have taken place during the storm,
as waifs have been found on various parts of the coast.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT RAMSGATE

A shocking carriage accident happened on Tuesday
afternoon at liamegate, which resulted in the death of
one person, and in serious injuries being inflicted upon
two children. Al out, three ,'cloek a basket chaise con-
taining four persons (Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, of Sandwich,
and their two children) was being driven clown the high-
street by Mr. Kelly. At the top of the street the horse
bolted off at a terrific pace, and having narrowly cleared
several other vehicles, came in contact with a fly. The
chaise was overturned, and the whole of the occupants
were thrown out with great violence. Mrs. Kelly was
taken to the house of Mr. Austen, surgeon, and was at
once attended by that gentlemen, but her injuries were
of such a terrible nature that she expired in a few minutes.
Mr. Kelly sustained no material bodily injury, but re-
mained in a state of delirium. The chaise, which was
completely sfnashed, was dragged by the horse at the
same furious rate as far as the Market-place, where it
was stopped. The fly with which it came into collision
was very much damaged.

PEACE PROSPECTS.

We, observes the Standard, do not share the general
opinion that with the surrender of Metz the war
would be at an end. We have no great opi-
nion of the armies of the South, of the Loire, of Lyons,
and of the Vosges. We fear that if they would pre-
sent themselves before any considerable division of
the Prussian army they would sustain a decisive de-
feat. But the conflict, unfortunately—and the result is
principally due to Count Bismarck and his Sovereign—
has reached a stage in which the existence of regular or
quasi-regular armies is of comparativelysmall importance.
The difficulties the Prussians have to deal with are not
created for them by organised French armies, but
by the hatred of the population, which they
have stimulated by the stupid and brutal attempt
to strike terror everywhere by the wholesale
slaughter of innocent persons as punishment for the losses
they have sustained from the Franc-tireurs. The capture
of Metz would set a large number of men free, but in the
position the war has now assumed would advance very
little the cause of peace. Assume that the armies of
which the Provisional' Government talks so largely are
beaten too ; there remains no organised opposition
to the enemy. But, on the other hand, there is
no organisation with which the enemy can treat. M.
Jules Favre and his colleagues may surrender
Paris that is a question to be discussed some
time hence but they will not attempt to make
peace. Anxious as they may be to keep the
authority they have assumed they will not venture
to appear before France, occupied by the enemy, and
ask it to approve a dishonourable peace. So the best
result of these continuous Prussian successes, which we
have assumed as fully as the journals inspired by
the Berlin press bureau, would simply ba this, that
the Prussians, having conquered France, must keep it and
organise it.

FOREIGNERS IN CITINA.

The state of feeling in the foreign settlements in
China is not represented as very satisfactory by the
English papers published in the Treaty ports. The
anti-foreign feeling, according to these authorities, is
increasing in intensity, as there has been no vigorous
effort made to punish the criminals. A general rising
against foreigners was apprehended when the mail
left, and the assassination of Viceroy Ma, of Nanking,
who was the staunch frieni of foreigners, at the end
of August, was attributed to the fact of his having
prevented a rising at Nanking similar in character to
the Tien-tsin outrage. It seems to be certain that
the native troops were being collected, and it was
reported that an English firm had supplied them
with arms, and an American with provisions. Fans
bearing representations of the massacre, in which the
Chinese seem to exult, have been circulated through-
out the North. Mr. Wade was still at Peking, and
was the object of much indignation among the
foreigners for his lack of promptitude in
telegraphing the news of the massacre to London.
The Overland China Mail even thinks that
had the official news reached England and France at
the same time as the first rumour of the massacre,
the Emperor of the French might have been glad to
take the opportunity of closing his dispute with
Prussia on the withdrawal of Prince Leopold's can-
didature, and the restless military energies of France
might have been turned into a cmsade against
China, rather than against Prussia. It is
apprehended from the delay in the transmission of
the intelligence, that there has been some
tampering with the Russian telegraph line from
Kiachta.

TAXATION IN INDIA.

A meeting of the board of the Manchester Chamber of
Commerce was held yesterday. The secretary announced
the receipt of a letter from the Bombay Association,
asking the support of the Chamber to their memorial
against the Income Tax in India, and advocating a reduc-
tion of taxation and a reform of financial management. A
resolution was passed to the effect that the board con-
sidered an income tax in India to be a fair and equitable
source of revenue, and that on any remission of taxation
the salt tax, which pressed heavily on the poorer classes
should have the first consideration of the Government.

SUPPOSED SHIPWRECKS ON THE NORTH-

.EAST COAST.

After a very stormy night of wind and rain, a large
quantity of wreck is being washed ashore this morning
on the coast of Caithness. • It chiefly consists of Nor-
wegian timber, staves, and Lattens ; also a Norwegian
skiff, a pump, and similar articles. Between ten and
eleven on Tuesday night cries of distress were heard com-
ing from the sea. Towards evening a dismasted schooner
was seen in the offing. There is no trace of any crew, so
that it is expected they have perished. Large Norwegian
vessels with timber were expected at Wick.

A later telegram from Wick says the supposed loss of
a vessel has proved to be too true. The name of the
vessel is the Erncheder, a schooner, of Drammen, laden
with staves and battens, Captain H. P. Hansen. The
crew were all drowned except a boy, who climbed ❑p the
wreck and gave the alarm to a farmer's family. No bodies
have yet been recovered. The vessel is in pieces, and the
cargo is strewn along the shore. The escape of the lad is
considered marvellous.

THE ARMY OF THE LOIRE.

The Government at Tours will not retreat to
Bordeaux or Limoges until the chance of another
battle is tried. Gambetta's influence has been
beneficial in somewhat calming the panic which
followed the defeats of lastweek ; but part of the regu-
lar troops remain unmanageable. Several companies
have been disbanded. At Tours many men were seen
drunk and abusing their officer's immediately after the
battle at Orleans. Some of the ringleaders will be
shot. The Government intends to bring over from
Algiers as many officers as possible in order to
supply the present great want. The disaffection
amongst the Arab population appears to have been
overrated.

THE STORM ON THE SCOTCH COAST..
WICK, OCT. 19.

We have had a terrible storm of north-easterly
wind, accompanied by torrents of rain, since last
night. Fragments of wreck, believed to be-
long to a N orwe,gian vessel, are coming ashore,
including staves, battens, a skiff, pump, and other
articles belonging to a dismasted vessel which
was in the offing yesterday. It has been ascertained
that the vessel wrecked is the schooner Enichoden,
of Drammen, with wood, from Christinia, for Fra-
serburg. All the crew are lost, except a boy, who
was most miraculously saved by climbing up the
rocks at the south side of Wick. The vessel is a
total wreck, and the cargo scattered along the whole
coast.

Shields to Rochester with a cargo of coals. Fortu-
nately the lifeboat was instrumental in rescuing the
crew of seven men, and in landing them in safety.

Three men, named O'Sullivan, Murphy, and

yesterday, the first charged with having the previous
night fired a revolver at Mr. Bull, Deputy-Clerk of
the Peace, and the other prisoners with assault and
with assisting O'Sullivan. Shortly before midnight
Mr. Bull was passing along Patrick-street, when a
shot was fired. He turned round and gave chase,
but was set upon by the supposed accomplices of the
assailant; a desperate fight followed, and the police
arrested the three prisoners. They were remanded.

demanded from Dyer their passage money. from Eng-
land, and then the truth came out. The Captain was
indignant at their demand, and told them that the
Irish Ambulance Corps was unnecessary, but that they
would all be required to join the Irish Legion which
he commanded. Some few consented to join the
Legion, but the great bulk refused. Captain Dyer
then went to Tours for instructions, and he returned
in a few days, when the malcontents were marched
on board a steamer by an officer of the Guard Mobile,
who accompanied them to Havre. The British Con-
sul treated them in a manner which the men
acknowledged most gratefully. They denounced the
conduct of those who had behaved so treacherously to
them in unmeasured terms.

THE IRISH AMBULANCE CORPS.

To people of ordinary discernment it was not a
difficult matter to penetrate the real designs of the
promoters of the so-called Irish Ambulance Corps.
The shallow artifices adopted to conceal the real
sphere in which the corps was intended to operate
seems only to have deceived the impulsive fbiloWs
who so willingly enrolled themselves for service in
France. A fortnight ago one hundred and
thirty men left for Havre in. the Joh❑ Bull.
On arriving at that port they were received by a
Captain Dyer, who fulsomely complimented them
upon their manly appearance, ald pretty copiously
plied them with brandy. They were told to hold them-
selves in readiness for Caen, as that was the place of
destination. On the following morning the poor
fellows had to wait five hours in a drenching rain
for the arrival of the captain. They were after-
wards marched to the barracks of the Garde Mobile,
where they were provided with slight refreshments
The next day they were nearly starving, and they

BRITISH NEUTRILITY.

The Manchester Examiner, whilst entertaining the
strongest opinions as to the groundlessness of the charges
brought by Count Bernstorff against our conduct as
neutrals, admits that international law is applicable to
the subject required, and should receive consideration
on the conclusion of peace. The work of inter-
national legislation has been too long delayed,
and an effort should be made at the earliest opportunity
to supply all civilised States with some more authorita-
tive guidance for their conduct in time of war than they
now possess.

The Manchester Courier, referring to the same subject,
says it is evident that any prohibitions against exportation of
goods by neutrals to belligerents must favour nations whose
navy is inferior as against a nation enjoying advantage
of naval superiority. Is it likely that England, whose
strength, if it lies nut in ships, and on the seas, 'lies no-
where, will give adhesion to this view, and accord its
sanction to an international dogma which, if
its time of trial iever come, must tell terribly
ag.tinst her, and even cripple the right arm of her strength.
Interpreted in its proper sense, for us Englishmen the
neutral obligations which Bernstorff enjoined mean
nothing more than a guarantee of our weakhess in war,
and the ruin of our trade in peace.

A report has reached Lloyd's that the brig ./Eolus
of Halifax, from Marseilles, for Martinzas, with tiles,
experienced a severe hurricane, and foundered on the 4th
of September, in lat. 21 N., long. 42 W. The crew were
saved.

The total receipts into the National Exchequer
from April 1 to October 15 were £32,457,956 against

THE WAR 1N FRANCE.

We have reason for believing that General Bourbaki
resolutely declined to accept the command of the beaten
and demoralised Army of the Loire ; and that his
appointment to the command of the Army of the
North—an army yet to be made—was the result of an
enforced afterthought on the part of the French
Provisional Government. The sojourn of the Delegation
at Tours will not, so far as we understand. be much
longer protracted. Should the issue of the battle
that will probably be fought, south of the Loire, within a
day or two, be adverse to the cause of France, it is
probable that Bordeaux may be called on to provide ac•
commodation for the Ministers " detached on special
service," and for the members of the Corps Diplomatique
now at Tours. It is reported that there has been some
discussion as to whether Bordeaux or Clermont-
Ferrand should be the next seat of the Delegation ;
but Bordeaux, by our latest information, won the
preference in the opinions of those most directly in-
teres ced. Telegraph,
