£2,500 FOR LOSS OF A WIFE:

In the Divorce Court, on Saturday, a special jurygranted
damages to the amount of £2,500 against the co-respon;
dent in the cause of " Broad v. Broad and Bird." It was
a husband's petitionfor a dissolution of his marriage on the
ground of his wiee's adultery with the co-respondent. The
petitioner was an officer in the navy, who rendered dis-
tinguished service in the Crimea, China, and India. lie
was at the taking of florid itdrig, and comptlled,
in 1867, by his professional duties to go to. China.
He left his wife at Weymouth in charge
of a relative, and soon after her 'kusband's departure, she
made the acquaintance of the co-respondent, and on the
a1p0n0i4,,,,y after .tie introduction ho committed adulte
with „her. She subsequently-was confined- -
which the co-respondent,who was a Lieutenant in the 51st
Reginient. was the father. Several letters were read,
which left no doubt as to the terms on which the
respondent and co-respondent were.—Mr. Bayford,for the
co-respondent, did not deny the adultery, but contended
that the case was not one which called for heavy damages.
—The jury found for the petitioner, with £2,500 damages..
—Lord Penzance granted a decree nisi for a dissolution of
the marriage.

THE ROYAL GENERALS.

The King of Prussia, like his Imperial opponent,
will take the chief command during the war with
France. His Majesty is considered a good general of
division, but the opportunity for any display of his
capabilities as commander-in-chief have been few.
In the Baden campaign of 1848 the Prussians did nob
gain much glory, and the King was looked upon in
those days as a stern martinet. He is in his
seventy-third year. Frederic William, the Crown
Prince of Prussia, was born in October,
1831, and is the cnly son of the King.
His early education was conducted under
the well known Dr. Ernest Curtius, after which lie
proceeded to the University of Bonn. His military
studies were commenced under the guidance of General
Von Schreckenstein, and he held a command in the
campaign against Denmark in 1864. It was in the
war with Austria, however, that his name as a sol-
dier was prominently brought forward. His rapid
marches through Silesia contributed greatly to the
Prussian victories, and his appearance at the
battle of Sadowa was the crowning point of
the day. It need be hardly stated that he is
the husband of our Princess Royal. Prince
Frederic Charles is a nephew of the Queen of
Prussia, and is 42 years of age. His first field of
battle was in Schleswig, in 1848, and in 1849 he
served with his uncle in Baden, when he was
wounded. He subsequently went to Bonn, and
studied under General von Roon, the present
Minister for War. In the war against Denmark
he succeeded Count von Wrangel as commander-in-
chief,. and made himself conspicuous at the bombard-
ment of the Diippel forts. In 1866 he was the head of
the first army, and displayed considerable dash. At
Sadowa, however, his rashness in venturing to attack
the Austrians before the arrival of the Crown Prince
was severely condemned.

THE WAR AND THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.
Serious doubts are entertained as to whether the
Franco-Prussian war will not interfere with the
annual International Exhibition of 1871. The
Commission apprehend that impediments will be
placed in the way of their completion of the foreign
collections. France, Prussia, and Germany will not
now, it is feared, be able to devote attention to
the :objects which they have been asked to
contribute. It is said, on the other hand, that some
portion of the continental collections has already
been made; but under the changed condition of
affairs, the comprehensive scheme of the Royal Com-
mi,sion can scarcely be carried out, and the arts of
peace bid fair to be sacrificed once again to the
engrossing claims of warlike preparations.

THE BRIDGE AT KEHL.

The Telegraph considers that the mere destruction of
the railway bridge at Kehl can place no pi ominent obstacle
in the way of a French invasion. The utmost that can
be accomplished is to delay the passage of the French
army ; and, therefore, as the Prussians have determined
upon incurring the heavy cost and responsibility of de-
stroying the Kehl bridge, we may safely form two con-
clusions. The first is, that the Prussians themselves have
no idea of invading France from the Strasburg side ;
the second is, that they anticipate an early invasion
of German territory from that ;quartar. Indeed,
the whole course of events within the last few days tends
to favour the supposition that the Prussians intend to
await the attack of the French upon their own territory.
A coup de main, such as the invasion of French soil
before the imperial armies have had time to corn-
' menee their march must be executed with rapidity
to have any prospect of success ; and if the
Prussians had determined to abandon the strong
material support of their fortresses, and the hardly less
powerful moral support of their position as the invaded
nation, we should probably have found before this time
that the German armies were marching upon Paris. If
any such scheme was ever seriously entertained—which
is very doubtful—it has apparently been abandoned ; and
the Prussians have made up their minds to arrest
the onslaught of the enemy on their own soil. The
head-quarters of King William are now at Frankfort ;
the hotels of the old Imperial city have been taken up as
hospitals ; strangers have been ordered to leave the water-
ing-places of the Rhein-Gau ; and the Prussian prepara-
tions seem to be made on the assumption that the first
great battle of the war will be fought in the triangle
included between the Berg-Strasse, the Rhine, and the
Main.

IRISH SYMPATHY WITH FRANCE.

The demonstration to express sympathy with France,
held at Cork on Saturday, was attended by about six
thousand people. Amongst the speakers was ex-Mayor
O'Sullivan. The tricolour was hoisted, and loud cheers
given for France, and cries raised of " God save Ireland !"
A resolution was passed expressing the warmest sympathy
with France, and denouncing the language of the Times
in reference to the war. Allusions to the probability of
England coming into collision with France were hailed
with great satisfaction. The tricolour was afterwards
carried in procession throughout the city. No policemen
were visible.

A meeting, attended by over 30,000 persons, was held
on the Strand, at Landymount, Dublin, yesterday, for
the purpose of having a couple of drums presented to two
bands by the French residents, in consequence of the
drums of the bands having been broken by the police at
the demonstration at the French consul's last week. An
address censuring the British Government and press, and
expressing sympathy with France, for which purpose the
meeting really was held, was adopted. The bands played
a variety of French and Irish airs.

DECREE OF INFALLIBILITY.

The Vatican has published the text of the Decree
of Infallibility, which was passed on the 18th instant.
The non-contents were not present, and only two
dissentients appeared against 553 Fathers in support
of the Dogma. The most important words of the
decree set forth that, according to a divinely revealed
dog,ma, when the Roman Pontiff speaking
es cathedra defined that a doctrine on faith and
morals was to be held by the Universal Church, he
then, by the Divine assistance promised to him,
enjoyed that infallibility with which the Redeemer
endowed His Church in defining doctrine on faith and
morals. In consequence the decision sof the Roman
Pontiff were to be regarded as irreformable of them-
selves, and not in virtue of the consent of the
Church.

RELIGION IN GERMANY.

Ernest von Bunsen has written to the Tinzes on
the subject of a review of a work entitled " Religious
Thoughts in Germany," in which he is reported to
have said that nearly three-fourths of the Protestant
population in Germany repudiated the doctrine of
the Divinity of Christ. lie explains that this obser-
vation bore reference to the dogmatism of St. Atha-
nasius and the Statutes of the Council of Nice, and
denies that the majority of Protestants in Germany
no longer hold the Divinity of Christ as their central
doctrine. He declines to enter into a detailed
description of the reasons which induce them
to consider the said doctrine in harmony with Holy
Writ, but not with the Statutes of the Nicene Council,
and the dogmatic opinions of St. Athanasius, and
concludes his remarks by asserting that the majority
of Protestants in Germany, as in other countries,
dislike the notion of Interpreting the Bible by the
creeds, and choose rather to interpret the creeds by
the Bible.

THE THREATENED WAR.

The uncompromising course pursued by France has not
met with the approval of the English Ministry, but if
Napoleon has made up his mind that the trial of strength
between France and Prussia had better take place at
once, the remonstrances of Great Britain would not
change his purpose. The French people are evidently
with him, and perhaps there is no independent Power in
Europe which would sincerely regret to see Prussia re-
duced from her present foremost position. There is
every reason to believe that even if Prussia gave way in
reference to Prince Leopold, France would at once de-
mand fresh " guarantees." This programme indicated by
the official Illoniteur opens up a field for negotia-
tions such as might well set all " friendly
offices " at defiance. If persevered in, it
would leave Prussia no choice but an appeal
to arms. The truth seems to be that Napoleon is quite
resolved to ascertain whether France or Prussia is to play
the part of dictator in Europe. England has more and
more withdrawn herself from all such rivalries, and her
voice would consequently be little regarded. If she will
have perpetual peace, she must pay the price of the
blessing in reduced power and influence. —New York Times,

'HE DECLARATION OF THE CONGRESS

OE PARIS.
The following note from the Marquis de Lavalette to
Earl Granville has been published :

" London, July 22, 1870.
" The undersigned, the French Ambassodor in London,
has received from his Government an order to address to
his Excellency Earl Granville the following communica
tion :—His Majesty the Emperor of the French has given
orders that, in the prosecution of this war, the com-
manders of his forces, by land and sea, shall scrupulously
observe towards such Powers as shall remain neutral the
rules of international law, and shall especially conform to
the Principles laid down in the declaration of the Congress
of Paris of 19th April, 1856, which are as follows : 1. Pri-
vateering is and remains abolished. 2. A neutral flag covers
enemy's merchandise, with the exception of contraband of
war. 3. Merchandize of neutrals, except contraband of war,
sailing under an enemy's flag is not seizable. , 4. Block-
ades, in order to binding, must be effectual; that is, they
must be maintained by a force really sufficient to prevent
the enemy from obtaining access to the coast. Although
Spain and the United States did not adhere to the Treaty
of 1856, his Majesty's ships will not seize enemy's pro-
Pelt' sailing on board an American or Spanish
vessel unless such property is contraband of
war- Moreover, his Majesty does not intend
to vindicate his right of confiscating the property
of American or Spanish subjects which may be
found on board an enemy's vessel: The Emperor is confi-
dent that, in just reciprocity, her Majesty's Government
will have the goodness to prescribe measures for the exact
observance on their part, by the British authorities and
subjects, of the duties of strict neutrality during this
war.—The undersigned, &c., _

THE MONEY MARKET.

The Economist, in discussing the effects of the war
upon the money market, observes that the borrow-
ings of the great Powers are beginning with wonder-
ful rapidity. France has opened a credit for
£22,000,000, Germany for £20,000,000, and the effect
of this must be to raise the value of money through-
out the world. The future loans will evidently,
thinks the Economist, be on an immense scale, and
though we may ultimately receive a large number
of foreign savings, the effect of these will be counter-

acted by the loans which we shall make to the

belligerents; so that though London may
be the cheapest money market during the war, it
will be a dear ono in comparison with late years.
Competent persons believe that money before long
will rise rapidly to 5 per cent. On the whole,
though the interruption of existing trade causes

Ilosses which the profits of new trade do not efface,
the Economist is inclined to think English trade
will gain considerably. All the most dangerous
competitors of English manufactures are forced to
diminish, if not to suspend operations. Many of the
skilled workmen, and even some of the manufacturers
are drawn off to the army. The great towns may
themselves become the seat of war, and all commer-
cial security is consequently lost. In the second place
the war has broken up a vicious speculation in the
raw material of cotton, which had been forced
up to an extravagant price. Thirdly, there will be
a great trade in instruments of warfare, which both
belligerents will wish to buy here, and fourthly, all
the carrying trade will be in our hands, as well as
an augmented commission trade. English vessels
will be able to keep the sea while French and Ger-
man will be a prey to hostile cruisers, and "the one
great seat of peace " is certain to
be the storehouse of all commodities,
and the place for transacting intermediate
dealings. For these reasons the Economist believes
that instead of the rise in the value of money in our
market being retarded by a diminution in the trade
demand, as far as English commerce is concerned
that trade demand will maintain itself, and will co-
operate with the war demand, and make the rise in
the value of money more likely.

master of the art of war is second only to that of the
great American general Robert Lee, the some-time Com-
mander-in-Chiefof the Confederates.
GENERAL HIZIYARTII VON BITTZNYIELD.—Generai rota
Bittenfield is a vary old soldier. He was born in 1796,
and took part in the campaign of 1813. After fifty years
of peac6 ho fuse tO the rank of general in 1863, and soon
after chewed his qtality by directing the successful expe-
dition against Alsen 1n.1866 he comuinuded the
army of Elbe, and won groat distinction daring that
memorable campaign. He is now at Coblentz, and will
be ono_ of the first to bear the sho* of the
PretiCh ft!.ms. He has just issued a proclamation to the
inhabitants a his district, in which document he serves
out unstinted condonation of the Emperor and his
subordinates.

he ro:ie to the ranlirof genera!, Tirthis Cl:pacity his
ties soon shone prominently. He took command of the
operations in the \Vest, heading the army of the Mein,
which had at once to dispose of both the Bavarian and
Hanoverian fires. This Falkenstein accomplished with
much skit}; attackinc, and defeating each in detail. He
first assaulted and captured the Hanoverian army,
and then proceeded southwards to attack the
Bavarians, soon occut/ing Frankfort and scatter-
ing the South German forces. He afterwards
gained an unenviable reputation for his harsh treatment
of the people of Frankfort—treatment gel barbarous that
the whole civilised world cried out against it. The
burgomaster of the city actually committed suicide.
Falkenstein has, much to the astonishment of most people,
returned to the scene of his notoriety. He has been
appointed to the command of the Bavarian Army. The
Bavarians will probably not like the man, but they may
at any rate console themselves with the assurance that
they have a most skilful general;,

THE CONFERENCE AT BURSLEM.

The Kingswood and Woodhouse-grove Schools Com-
mittee met on Saturday, when the President reported
that the state of the schools was very satisfactory, fourteen
from Kingswood having passed the Oxford examination
and seven from Grove having gone through Lord's matricula-
tion course. Later on the Sabbath Committee met, and
reported petitions to Parliament in favour of the bill for
closing public houses on Sunday, and for opening the
National Gallery and British Museum on that day. They
intended to take part in the movement for closing the
Post-offices on Sunday, and suppressing Railway
work on that day. The Rev. W. Arthur de-
nounced the present licensing system, and argued that if
it was right to sell gin and beer on that day, it was right
to Pell other things.—The Rev. J. Bedford moved a reso-
lution in favour of closing public houses on the Lord's
Day, and several members spoke in its favour.

THE BENNETT JUDGMENT.

The Standard says, in bringing the prosecution of Mn
Bennett forward, the Church Association desired to make
the position of the High Church party untenable, but
unless the judgment is reversed in the court above, they
will be sorely put to it to hold their own. In saying so
much it must not be forgotten that the language and atti-
tude of Mr. Bennett were in some respects highly pro-
vocative. He set forth the doctrine of the Real Presence
and the consequences attributed to it by some of the ex-
treme sacramental party, in language the strength
and exuberance of which no English theo-
logian, we should hope, would accept or defend.
He acknowledged no right in the courts to bring him to
book, and pursued his way exactly as if the vicar of Frome
were absolutely independent of all human tribunals. The
mischief of it is that Mr. Bennett's monstrous formula,
which asserted a visible Presence in the sacrament, covered
also a doctrine of the Real Presance which is generally
accepted by the moderate High Church party, and which,
therefore, would be included in the almost inevitable con-
demnation of Mr. Bennett. This was manifestly unfair,
but it was obvious that it was exactly the result aimed at
by the promoters of the suit. They sought to obtain a
condemnation of the High Church party in the person of
Mr. Bennett, and of a High Church doctrine in the gro-
tesquely exaggerated form in which it had been cast by
that gentleman. This judgment may be overturned • but
in the meantime it is the decision of the highest Church
tribunal, and it affirms the lawfulness and the orthodoxy
of the doctrine of the Real Presence. The law which was
invoked to curse the High Church party has altogether
blessed them.

The Daily News thinks it certainly seems a pity that it
should be so difficult to make out what the Church of Eng-
land does teach on a subject to which many of her child-
ren attach importance. To many impartial minds accus-
tomed to take a broad and practical view of the great
interests of life, it will seem strange that any
class of persons should think it worth while
to contend about such a subject as this. Bnt those
who have looked into Church history know that the
real object of this contention, however it may be dis-
guised, is the pretension of a considerable number of
priests of the Church of England to work a miracle as
often as they consecrate bread and wine, and thus to
cause a Divine presence at the altar, irrespective of the
state of mind of the communicant. Sir Robert
Phillimore tells us that whatever may be the doc-
trine of the Church, Mr. Bennett has all the liberty he
claims. The Church Association will not take the judge's
word for the fact, and the Privy Council alone can settle
the matter. It will be a long time before they can do so,
however, and in the meanwhile the ultra-sacramental and
ritualistic party will boast that the law of the land is on
their side.

BOAT RACING ON THE TYNE.

A skiff race on the Tyne for £2QU between James Taylor,
Newcastle, and Mark Addy, Manchester, was to have been
rowed last evening. At the time appointed for the start,
however, it was announced that Addy would not pull, having
cut his hand. Taylor rowed over the course, and gets the
stakes. All bets are off. Largo crowds were assembled on
the river and the banks, and were greatly disappointed.

The Sewage Question.

A process, by which sewage can be instantaneously
converted into a dry and inodorous manure, has been
tried with remarkable success at Leamington.
Two years since the Sanitary Board arranged
with Lord Warwick that the sewage of the town
should be conveyed on the irrigation system over his
lordship's estates, instead of being poured into
the clear and beautiful river Learn. Im-
mediately after the signing of tho con-
tract, the Native Guano Company offered
at their own expense to relieve the Town Board of
much of their difficulty by trying the "ABC process"
upon the sewage. By chemical means the latter, on
emerging from the pipes, underwent immediate pre-
cipitation. The solid and organic matter remained as
a dry and harmless manure, while the effluent
water was conducted in a pure and limpid stream to
the river. So valuable has the manure of the
Guano Company now become that it is impossible to
keep pace with the increasing demand for it at.
£3 lOs. per ton. Unfortunately for the people
of Leamington, the discovery, which promises
tosolve the great sewage question, has been exemplified
successfully in their town without much pecuniary
advantage to themselves, for by the contract with
Lord Warwick they are bound to construct irriga-
tion works on his estates, which will cost at least a
sum of twelve thousand pounds.

Mr. Baines's View.

These decisions lead Mr. Baines, M.P., to regard
the aspect of the education question as much more
promising. All over the country, he says in a letter
to the Times, the state of public feeling is much
more favourable. " The call for secular education
appears almost to have ceased. The fears which
prevailed so extensively among the Nonconformists
as to the probable working of the bill are changed
for a grateful recognition of the intentions of
its authors, and a hopeful view of the removal of
every serious objection by reasonable modifications.
The utter impracticability of banishing the Bible or
scriptural instruction from the rate aided schools is

SPIRIT OF TAE, PRESS.
THE PROSPECTS OF NEW ZEALAND.

The Times considers the New Zealand colonists are
honestly embracing the course which nothing but an
enervating dependence on British troops prevented them
from adopting long ago. The European population
is steadily increasing, the Maori population is steadily
dwindling • the former will be constantly reinforced from
Europe, the latter, so far as it is hostile, will be constantly
reduced by the subtle encroachments of civilisation. If
the money to be raised by loan be wisely expended,
especially on immigration, it will soon repay itself. The
agricultural wealth of New Zealand, apart from its
goldfields, is enormous ; its climate is proverbially
healthy ; and, but for its unsettled state, it would
have attracted a much larger influx of immigrants. Yet
a large influx of immigrants is the very thing wanted to
remedy its unsettled state, partly by strengthening the
preponderance, already vast, of the European race, and
partly by clearing and fencing more and more of the
country. We heartily wish Dr. Featherston and his col-
league success in this part of their undertaking, and we
venture to anticipate that British capital will be
more readily embarked in New Zealand concerns when
there is no risk of any but a defensive war against the
Maories. Whatever irritation may have been felt
in New Zealand at the peremptory recall of the last
British regiment, the colonists may rest assured that
the English people, in approving it, was not indifferent to
their fate. Had Englishmen believed that a single Euro-
pean life in New Zealand would be imperilled by Lord
Granville's adherence to a policy of which the colony had
received many years' notice, it would probably have been
impossible to carry it out. It was because Englishmen
believed the very reverse that Colonial remonstrances
against it met with so feeble a response. The result, we
are convinced, will prove that Englishmen were not
wrong, and it will not be surprising if the prosperity of
New Zealand should date from the year in which the duty
of self-defence was forced upon her.

The large and valuable range of Silver Mines which this com-
pany is formed to work is situated in the same rich district, and
in close proximity to the profitable Mines of the celebrated Real
del Monte Company, which, since its establishment in 1849, has
yielded Dividends to the Shareholders amounting to nearly
£3,000,000 sterling.
No drainage is now required as the shafts have all become dry
since the completion of the great Aviadero edit of the Real del
Monte Company.
Ore yielding only £6 9s. per ton pays all expenses. The rem- t
therefore of numerous assays of ores taken from various parts
of these mines, and giving an average value of £45 10s. per ton,
cannot but be considered as highly satisfactory, more espe-
cially as the average produce of the 525,978 tons of ore, reduced
by the Real del Monte Company up to 1865, was only £13.45. per
ton, from which, notwithstanding the great cost incurred by that
company for drainage,-z'profit of £2,411,500 to that period was
made.

Prospectuses, reports, and forms of application for shares, may
be obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Bankers,
Solicitors, and Brokers.

THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

Mr. CHARLES DALRYMPLE asked the right hon. member
for the University of Cambridge whether, since by the
Copyright Act all publishers in the United Kingdom
were bound to furnish to the British Museum aco of
every book, and of every new edition of a book pubis hed
by them, and since as long ago as 1848 Mr. Panizzi
reckoned the duplicates alone in the Museum at
50,000 volumes, it might not be possible, in the
opinion of the trustees, that such duplicates should be
distributed, under proper regulations, so' as to form the
nucleus of public free libraries, or to supplement deficient
libraries ; and whether by this means the British Museum
might not be judiciously relieved of its superabundant
books, without impairing the efficiency of the col-
lection.

Mr. WALPOLE said it was only new editions in which
authors' alterations were made, that were required to be
sent to the British Museum, and with respect to the dis-
tribution of duplicates amongst the free libraries, there
were some that could be disposed of, but then it would
require the assent of Parliament that such should be done.
Even if the assent was given, he should advise that the
distribution be made very carefully, as great loss and
inconvenience had been occasioned by parting with some
of the supposed duplicates.

EDUCATION.

Mr. VERNON linucounr asked the First Lord of the
Treasury whether he could inform the House what had
become of the Royal Commission appointed in January,
1868, to inquire into the condition of primary education
in Ireland, and which was directed by her Majesty "to
certify to her from time to time their several proceedings
as the same should be completed ; and within the space of
fourteen months to certify to her the whole of their pro-
ceedings,"
Mr. GLADSTONE said the Commission had sat longer
than was expected, but although he could not
say it had certified any part of its proceeding, he
could say the sitting was at an end. The
accounts with regard to the expenditure of the
communication would be given if moved for. He was not
cognizant of any of the recommendations of the committee,
and with respect to the production of the report before
proceeding with the Education Bill, he could only say
that he hoped to go on with the Government measure the
second week in June, but he could not say whether the
report referred to would even then be ready.

PRIMARY EDUCATION (IRELAND).

Earl RUSSELL asked when the report of the Royal Com-
mission on Primary Education in Ireland, appointed in
January, 1868, would be produced, as the subject of edu-
cation was now before the country, and it was desirable
that all the information it was possible to collect bearing
on this question, should be in the possession of Parliament.
Earl GRANVILLE said he had every reason to hope
that the report would be ready before the Ist of June.

The Ballot.

The Daily News understands that the provisions
relating to the form of the ballot, which Lord
Hartington sketched in his speech on moving for
leave to bring in the Parliamentary Elections Bill,
will be found to have undergone some modification
when the bill is printed and put into the hands of
members of Parliament. Mr. Leatham complained that
the machinery was defective. It would be said, allow of
the " Australian dodge," by which a voter goes into
the secret compartment, secretes the ticket, deposits
a "dummy" in the box, and takes the real ticket
outside. This is filled up by bribing agents, and is
then taken into the booth by another voter, placed in the
box, whilst the unfilled ticket, which is given to this
voter, is brought out and disposed of in the same way
as the preceding.
.hlr. Leatham thought to obviate
this trick by marking the ticket with invisible ink.
London, England, 1870-05-17

The Pay of Irish Teachers.

One of the great stumbling blocks in the way of
Irish education is the miserable pittance doled out to
the national teachers. In many large districts
the work is carried on by men whose income
does not exceed eight shillings per week, and the
provision of a dwelling does BM extend to more,
perhaps, than one in ten. Some of the men who are
in the employ of the State at this paltry
sum of eight shillings per week are obliged to pay
out of it the rent of rooms at their own
cost to hold their schools in. This would appear in-
credible were it not for the corroborative fact that
in large districts in Ireland, including rural counties,
the average salary of teachers of all grades is only
£22 a year.
