The Etna, from Halifax, has brought £3,193 in specie.

At a meeting of the Submarine Telegraph Company,
the directors' report was adopted, and a dividend of 6i
per cent. for the half-year was declared.
The report of the shareholders of the new Bank of
Bombay, submitted at the meeting (the adoption of which
was announced by telegraph on the 13th inst.) chewed that
the net profits for the half-year, amounted to £35,148,
of which £lB,OOO was appropriated to a dividend at the
rate of 6 per cent. per annum, £2,000 to premises
account, and £12,206 to reserve (thus raised to £41,500),
leaving £2,942 to be carried forward. The directors had
not yet come to any satisfactory arrangement with the
Government in reference to the charter, but an early
settlement of the question is anticipated.

A RAILWAY TO THIBET.

The Pioneer of July the 12th says that the letter
which Mr. Stirling addressed to the Duke of Argyll
on the construction of a railroad from Hurdwar to
the plateau of Thibet has met with an unfavourable
reception. Mr. Grant Duff in his reply states that
he is authorised to acquaint Mr. Stirling that his
Grace is fully sensible of the advantage which may
be derived from increased facilities of communication
with Central Asia. At the same time he is not
prepared to sanction the construction (as a State
work) of a railway across the Himalaya to
Thibet. The 'line which was projected by
Mr. Stirling was to have run along the
western branch of the Upper Ganges, and its con-
struction would have cost a million. The Pioneer
sympathises with the disappointed projector, and
exclaims, " What an evil is poverty ! Such a vast
return thrown away—all for want of one million
sterling ! We advise the projector to suggest the
scheme to the Grand Llama."

DEATH OF SIR FREDERICK POLLOCK.

We regret to announce the decease of the Right Hon.
Sir Frederick Pollock, after an illness of some duration.
The lamented baronet had reached the age of 87, and up
to within a few days of his death retained all his physical
and mental vigour. •

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. - Another
candidate is announced for the chairmanship of the Board
of Works in the person of Mr. Francis T. C. Fowler, an
architect, and for some time a member of that body.
FRANCE'S POSITION.—We have not an ally in
Europe—the fact is clear. Neither the great Powers nor
the little States will make common cause with France.
The best-disposed diplomatists are waiting in their
cabinets for a decisive victory of the Prussian to beg
pardon for us, and to limit, in the interests of
the European equilibrium, the precipitate annexations of
Bismarck. Thanks, gentlemen ; but France will save
her soul all alone, and will owe the obligation to no one
but herself. France is still strong enough to say, with
the Medea of Corneille, " I alone, and it is enough !" We
have an army numerous and solid. The most unfriendly
estimates do not count our loss in wounded, killed, and
prisoners at 100,000 men; the enemy himself admits
that his first success has cost him 150,000 soldiers.
Some of our regiments have been disconcerted for a
moment by a power of destruction hitherto unheard-of ;
by a fire which our officers, though they feared it not,
have characterised as " incredible ;" and, above all, by
that artillery of long range and unceasing fire which deci-
mated men from a distance and seemed to be falling
from the sky. Frenchmen are used to see their foe
face to face. Nothing so stupefies an army as to
receive bullets and grape shot from an invisible
foe. The personal bravery of the French, so brilliant
in engagements with the bayonet, has been
neutralised in part by the distance systematically observed
by the enemy. But an experience, costing us so dear, will
not be lost ; it has inspired our generals with a new system
of tactics. I put forward in proof the fights of the
14th, 16th, and 18th, and that fine campaign of Bazaine's
in which we have gloriously balanced all the advan-
tages of the enemy. France can count upon her army,
but she counts also on herself. Every class of
the population—peasants, artisans, tradesmen—all
have perceived that it is no longer a case of waiting the
event, but of taking part in the struggle. The time is
past when ninety-nine hundredths of the nation sheltered
itself quietly behind a wall of human flesh, saying, " It
is the business of the army ; we pay our soldiers to cover
us with their bodies." Each for self henceforward.
The army goes in front ; but every man strong enough to
bear a rifle composes the reserve of the army.—EDMOND

PASSPORTS IN FRANCE.

The suspicion with which all strangers are no w
looked upon in France, and the consequent introduc-
tion of the passport system with all its original incon-
venience, will, in a great measure, keep holiday-makers
at home. Those who will run the risk of exploring the
beauties of Normandy and the ruggedness of
Brittany, at the present juncture, would do well to
be prepared for adventures, some of them, it need
not be remarked, of a not very pleasant nature. Care
should be taken that the passports are duly vised,
and that members of excursion or tourist parties
should be provided with separate documents. The
account given by a correspondent of the Times, who,
with a friend, was on a visit to Brittany, of the
arrest of one of the party, is not very reassur-
ring to persons of weak nerves. Still, a mode-
rate amount of caution in taking out a pass-
port, and due prudence in not being too
forward in giving expression to political
opinions, will go a long way in preventing evil
consequences. It would be much better, however,
if those who have a fortnight or a month to spare
would give their own country the benefit of their
purses. The English lakes are worth seeing, not
only for their scenery, but for their associations, con-
nected as they are with such names as Wordsworth,
Coleridge, Southey, and last, though not least, De
Quincey, whose name seems to be fading from the
memories of Englishmen, but whose writings
are a perfect. mine of beauties. Corn-
wall and Devon, too, are large enough to accommo-

date thousands of tourists ; and Wales, both North
and South, presents features not to be excelled
abroad. The scenery about Barmouth is said to
excel even the much vaunted Rhine, and for those
muscular Christians who must have mountains to
climb, surely Cader Idris and Snowdon offer dangers
enough if taken from the proper sides. The 'High-
lands, with their lochs and glens, the Isle of Skye with
its lovely wildness, to say nothing of Ireland with
its many beauties, are all fields worthy of the Eng-
lish traveller.

THE RETREAT OF BAZAINE.

The Manchester Examiner considers the telegram an-'
nouncing Marshal Bazaine's success in breaking through
the Prussian lines as utterly apocryphal, and has no better
foundation than the rumours retailed at Verdun and am-
plified on the Boulevards. Referring to Count Palikao's
recent speech in the Corps Legislatif the Examiner
says it may be assumed as certain that
the Minister of War had received no despatches
from Marshal Bazaine, for if he had he cer-
tainly would not have kept back this gratifying proof
that all communication with Metz was not absolutely cut
off. The Parisians are longing to hear that Bazaine has
extricated himself from the trails of the German armies.
The Government is equally anxious to announce to them
the joyful news, and we may be well assured that they
would not keep it an instant to themselves, or omit
telegraphing it to all parts of Europe.

The Times says there was a total absence during regular
hours of any fresh authentic nsws, and the dulness of the
market seemed chiefly attributable to the restriction of
business.
We regret to learn that Field Marshal Sir
Alexander Woodford is lying dangerously ill at his house
in London.

THE HIGH STEWARDSHIP OF WINDSOIL—YeEter-

FATAL ACCIDENT TO CHILDREN. -- Yesterday
morning, about nine o'clock, a horse in a mason's cart,
took fright in the Fairfield-road;Bow, and, dashing against
a milk-cart which was standing near the kerbstone, ran
upon the pavement amongst a group of young children,
attending the Cobourn Charity Schools, who were playing
and knocked three of them down. One little boy was
taken up dead, another is supposed to be dying, and it is
believed that the third is dangerously injured.
THE LATE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS.—The solici-
tors for the acting executor of the late Marquis state that
the whole of the debts of the late Henry, Marquis of
Hastings, have been paid in full under the order of the
Court of Chancery, with interest at 4 per cent., as under,
viz.:—As to debts of £lO and under, by Mr. Frederick
John Blake, the late lord's solicitor ; and as to debts over
£lO, by the Accountant-General of the Court. Some
few creditors have not been able to attend in time,
but their checks are ready and can be received in
November.

Lieut.-Col. Henry W. Verschoyle, of the Grena-
dier Guards, died on Saturday evening at his residence at
Cowes, Isle of Wight. The gallant officer was stricken
with paralysis on board his yacht, the Vanguard, which
had only just started for the race at Cowes, on the sth
inst. The late colonel, who was only thirty-six years of
age, entered the army as ensign in the Grenadier Guards
in 1851, and became lieutenant-colonel in 1861. He
served with his regiment during the Eastern campaign of
1854-1855, and was present at the battles of Alma,
Balaklava, and Inkerman, and the siege and fall of
Sebastopol.

TIIE EMPEROR'S HEALTH.

The Gaulois of the 22nd positively contradicts the
rumours that the Emperor was suffering from ill-
health, and says: --

"If Marshal M'Mahon's corps should be engaged,
the Emperor will place himself at the head of the
Imperial Guard."

THE PRUSSIAN WOUNDED.

A telegram from Vienna states that King Wil-
liam has sent orders to Berlin to prepare beds for
10,000 wounded. The Prussians have unavailingly
demanded permission to remove their wounded by
way of Luxembourg and Belgium.

THE NEW LOAN.

It is asserted that the subscriptions to the new
loan exceed a milliard of francs.

The court-martial to which the affair of the dis-
turbance of La Villette has been submitted has con-
demned three more of the prisoners to death.

VIOL I.TION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.

The official Carlsruhe Gazette of yesterday con-
tains the following :—" The violation of interna-
tional law committed by the French in the manner
in which they carry on the war, as exemplified first
at Saarbruck, has been repeated by them in their
conduct towards Kehl. The German batteries are so
situated that the town lies entirely out of range of
the fire. Nevertheless, Kehl, which is an open
and defenceless town, has been intentionally set on
fire by the cannonade of the French, in violation of
the law of nations. General Werder consequently
wrote to the Commandant of Strasburg, saying :
Such a mode of warfare is unheard of among
civilised nations, and obliges me to hold you per-
sonally responsible for the consequences. Moreover,
I shall have the damages which have been caused
estimated, and shall seek compensation by levying
contributions in Alsace.' "

CAPTURE OF A PRUSSIAN FRIGATE.
A message from Alexandria states that the French
vessels have captured the Prussian frigate Hertha.

THE TRAGEDY AT BATH.

Last night the coroner, Mr. A. H. English, held two
inquests at the Weymouth Arms, Bath—the first on the
body of Mary Methuen Prankard, aged 24, who was shot
by her father on the preceding day, and the second on
the body of the murderer, who afterwards poisoned him-
self. The evidence showed that the father had for some
time manifested symptoms of insanity, and that on
Friday he smashed his water bottle on the face
of his second daughter, Kate, whom he also shot. But
though she lies in a critical state, hopes are entertained of
her recovery. The jury returned a verdict of wilful
murder against the father in the case of the daughter, and
of temporary insanity in his own case. Great fears are
entertained that a third daughter has fallen by the hand
of her father. He took her away from the house on
Friday, and up to the present time no trace has been
found of her.

THE BATTLE OF THE EIGHTEENTH.

The army of Prince Frederich Carl was fighting very
hard, and evidently suffering heavily. It was in the
centre, though occasionally rallying to one side or the
other. Though he had large reserves, they had been
diminished to an important extent by the engagements of
the 14th and 16th. A, considerable portion of his army
requiredlrest, and two divisions perhaps, certainly
one, reorganisation. There seemed at one time—about
half-past four—some danger that the intensity of the fight-
ing required on the right and left extremes would produce
a kind of atrophy along that very central Verdun-road for
which the armies were struggling. At that time a vast
army came from some region utterly mysterious to us who
had been following the army for some miles. They
came *Lover the very point which had been the Royal
headquarters in the morning. Their march was begun
at the time I have mentioned, and did not cease at all—
not even after dark—so long as the firing was still
going on upon the heights. This new army—whose was
it ?—whence was it ? It did not come from the
direction of Goeben, nor of Steinmetz, nor of Prince
Friederich Carl. Of course it could not be said that it did
not belong to either of these, but the cry and rumour went
around that these men were from the army of the Crown
Prince. Ido not know whether to believe this or not,
but it is freely said and believed by many officers here that
a detachment of the Crown Prince's army was sent
up from Told, if help were needed. To whomsoever or
wheresoever this Army Corps (for it was about that in
extent) belonged, its presence was all that was required.
It was laid along the road, out of immediate danger, so
that if the French centre had defeated the troops
with which it was contending, it must simply
have fallen into the hands of a fresh and prepared corps.
The advance of this new corps must have been
felt by them as a final, a fatal blow for that day.
Like the spirits in the " Inferno," their enemies
were consumed only to spring up to full
stature again. They must have realised how hopelessly
they were outnumbered. From that time!the struggle at
that part became very weak on the French side, and the
Prussians get a decided hold further up the Metz road, that
is, on the southern side of it. But there seemed to be a
redoubled fury on their left. From seven o'clock to eight
there was little firing beyond the village, but a great
tower of cloud and fire at each extremity of the battle-
field. —Correspondent of the Daily News.

MR. ASHBITRY ON THE YACHT RACE.

Mr. Ashbury, owner of the Cambria, has addressed
a letter to the editor of the New York Herald
respecting the race for the Queen's Cup. He thanks
the Americans warmly for the cordiality and
hospitality of their reception, and especially for the
marked success attending the clearing of the course.
With all his knowledge of the American love of

"fair play," he had not thought it possible that the
course could be kept so entirely free when so
large a number of craft were afloat, bearing an excited
and interested public naturally anxious to secure the
best view. The Herald, in its report of what Mr. Ash-
bury calls "the finest and grandest yacht race which
ever took place in America, England, or elsewhere," said
the day's experience proved that the American
is superior to the English model. Mr. Ashbury can-
not admit that the New York Yacht Club course is
the best suited to test the capabilities of sea-going
yachts, any more than he can believe a race across
the Atlantic will settle which is the fastest and
most weatherly vessel. Thanks to the courtesy
of the committee, the Cambria had the
choice of positions, but nevertheless she
made a. bad start to leeward, and met
with two or three mishaps. In any case Mr.
Ashbury believes the Magic would have been the
winner, but the Cambria should have been nearly the
Ile proposes to issue invitations for races

text in.

twenty miles to windward and back, outside Sandy
Hook lightship, or other open courses, and he hopes
all the yachts which came in before the Cambria will
accept the challenge. The races are to be run under
the rules of any royal yacht club in Great Britain and
Ireland, or of the New York Club. The resume of
such various contests would, he thinks, better settle the

question of the relative merits of American and Eng-
lish yachts than any races yet tried. In conclusion
he proposes that the competitors in the late struggle
should subscribe to present the owner of the Magic"
with a memorial of his victory.

MUNICIPAL CHARITY.

A short time ago the Corporation of Hull followed
the example of many other towns and subscribed to
the fund for the relief of the sick and wounded in
the Franco-Prussian war. The sum of £5O was
voted, but the proceeding does not appear to have
given general satisfaction, oven in the corporate
body. A protest has been signed by several
members of the Council and a number of the rato-
payerr, who object to the subscription on the ground of
illegality. The borough treasurer has been warned
not to pay the money to the fund, and henc3 there
is a prospect of a "scene" in the Council Chamber.
The granting of subscriptions from the borough
funds in other towns has been unchallenged, and it
may be that the protestants are actuated to a great
extent by a feeling of soreness engendered by a
knowledge of the severe suffering which the war on

e CAPITULATION OF METZ.

The correspondent of the Daily News, writing from
Frankfort-on•the-Maine on October 28th, says : The news
of the fall of Metz had been anticipated in Germany fo
some days, particularly because orders had been receive(
in a number of Rhenish towns from the con missarial
of the German army round Metz to bo ready with
considerable stores of provisions, which were to be
despatched on further orders. In consequence large
herds of cattle have been collected here and in other
towns, and bread has been baked, which is sent off to-day
iusuch quantities 'that all other goods traffic to the west
again is stoPped.- It is conjectured that the captive army,
after having been disarmed this morning, will for the
present bo left where it is, as these 130,000 men —it
we put aside the sick and wounded—could hardly be
transported to Germany, without accommodation having
previously been made for them, a task, which will take
some time. In the North of. Germany the weather is
already too unpropitious to let the prisoners, accustomed
to a warmer climate as they are, and with undoubtedly
weakened constitutions, take up their abode in tents.
The fortresses are already full; thus wooden barracks
will have to be constructed. The number of prisoners
that are now in Germany amounts to 135,000 ; add to
these the 130,000 from Metz and about 10,000 from Sois-
sons, Schlettstadt, and Orleans, and you arrive at the
number of 285,000, which in a very short time will be raised
to full 300,000 French warriors carried off from France,
without as yet reasonable prospects of peace making their
appearance.

For it cannot be doubted that the fall of Metz is an
event not yet calculated to damp the ardour of the de-
fence at Paris, Tours, and Lyons. What has fallen with
Metz is the rival Government of the Bona-
parte family, and the apprehension • may now
be dismissed at Paris of a peace concluded by Germany
with the Regency at the expense of the Provisional
Government, and including the handing over Paris to
Bazaine and his army. The race run betiveen Paris and
Metz, which was to hold out longest, was, from the
beginning, not without some political significance.

THE PROPHECY OF BLOIS.

A great deal has been said lateiy about the Pro-
phecy of Blois, made by an Ursulino nun more than
half a century ago. She foretold great troubles in
France in the years 1848 and 1870, and many points
of her prophecy are being curiously verified, though
in others it appears wide of the mark. The grand
tnalheurs of which she spoke were to begin after the
first fortnight in July; the great cities, and more
especially Paris, were to be imperilled, and
there was to be terrible bloodshed. The
dynasty which reigned at first was to be
overthrown, and news was not to come through ordi-
nary channels, but through private letters. Most
singular of all, Tours was to be the centre of intelli-
gence, for at the time when this prophecy was
resuscitated this autumn, the out-of-the-way town in
Touraine was not thought of for tho seat of Govern-
ment. So much has been made of ;his prophecy,
and so many different versions given, that a Dominican
friar has written to the abbess of the Ursuliues at
Blois for particulars respecting it. The abbess, in
reply, says there is no written record of the prophecy,
which was delivered by a humble sister of the convent
on her death-bed in 1804, to a young postnlante
whom she selected as her confidant, becat.se she said
she, was the only one who would live to see the
vision fulfilled. That young postulanto is now
living in the convent in full possession of her facul-
ties, though she is 02. She has often repeated the
prophecy during her life, and in the various troubles
of late years the sisters have asked her if she thought
the fulfilment was coming, but she has always until
now replied in the negative. It was not easy to de-
termine from what she said whether the war was to
be foreign or civil, and the nuns still fear that the d(S-
noument, when the saviour of France will appear, and
a Te Deum be sung, such as was never sung. before,
will be preceded by a great internal convulsion.
Such is the history of the famous Prophecy of
Blois.

THE ABANDONMENT OF THE HISTORIA.

The official inquiry into the abandonment of the barque
Historia (Captain M'Allister), in Morcambe Bay, on the
14th of October, terminated yesterday, at Liverpool.
The Court suspended the master's certificate for three
months, and intimated that if evidence could be hereafter
procured as to who bored the augur holes in the ship, the
subject night very probably be brought forward in a
criminal court.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY A. POLICE
OFFICER.

Benjamin Taskor, a member of the Harrowgato Police
Force, who was apprehended last Friday, was charged
before the Harrowgato magistrates, yesterday, with
robbing a visitor in a public thoroughfare. The evidence
was conclusive, and after a long hearing the prisoner was
committed for trial at the West Riding Sessions.

THE MURDER AT BRADFORD.
At the Bradford Borough Court, yesterday morning,
Patrick Riley, forgeman, charged with the wilful murder
of Thomas Leach (a waiter at the Packhorse Inn) by
stabbing him to the heart, in a row which occurred at the

his trial at the Assizes.

The Prince of Wales and a distinguished party arrived

AGRARIAN OUTRAGE,

An agrarian outrage is reported from King's County.
A farmer named Fox was going to mass on Sunday, when
he was fired at and seriously wounded in the shoulder.
Four men then set upon him and endeavoured to murder
him. Thirteen men who were working in a field 'near
took no notice of his cries for assistance. It was only
when a neighbour appeared upon the scene that his
assailants desisted from their ill-treatment. Fox had
received several threatening letters, and his house was
fired at last May.

MR, MORGAN M.P., IN DEFENCE OF FRANCE.-
Mr. G. 0. Morgan, M.P., in addressing his constituents
at Wrexham on Friday night, referred to his recent visit
to Germany, Italy, and France. Before g•oing, he said,
his sympathies were entirely with Germany, and he be-
lieved that the entire responsibility rested on the clique
which had monopolised political power in France and sub-
ordinated everything to military glory. But events had
changed, and so had his opinion. Germany was now
fighting for territory, France for euistance, and he must
be an unfeeling man who did not sympathise with a
people under such circumstances.

• NEW YORK. ELECTIONS."

New York has been thrown into a state of great
excitement by the prosp3ct of the city elections, and
it is noticeable that the New York press is very out-
spoken as to the drawbacks of their political and social
system. The universal cry is for the more respect-
able and intelligent classes to register themselves,
an 1 so prevent the city offices being absorbed by un-
principled adventurers. It is intolerable, says
the New York Times, which is. the lea for
of the malcontents, that all the intelligence and
worth in the community should be excluded from
participation in the City government for the sole
benefit of unprincipled adventurers. The hard-
working and respectable classes of New York are
virtually disfranchised. "We present an example of
almost all the evils which can possibly be incidental
to Government corruption everywhere—politicians
bought and sold like sheep in a fair, the worst men
in our foremost places, even the judiciary
steeped in degradation." The members of the
Tammany Ring, as they are called, seemed
to have secured a temporary supremacy, Lut
it is strongly maintained by the journalists
who show them no mercy, that in any other country
they would be at the bottom instead of the top of the
social scale. The Tribune openly charges them with
fraud in the registration of voters. The Herald de-
clares the great peril of New York to arise from the
hosts of unmanageable persons who have nothing to
gain or lose in an election. The picture given by
American Organs is such that we cannot wonder the
best classes of citizens hold aloof from participation
i❑ the city Government, though it is greatly to be
regretted they should thus forfeit their legitimate
influence.
