COUNT BISMARCK'S MEANING.

The Economist cannot doubt that Paris will be taken,
but cannot doubt either that the loss of life necessary to
take it will be great, and the loss by disease before its
capture still greater. The German army is the German
nation, and accordingly a great loss of life there is a loss
of the elements from whom it gains most in the present
and hopes most in the future. All this Count Bismarck
must see and know. Nor do we believe that he is imposed
on by the cry for new securities to Germany or the cry
for the annexation of Teutons as Teutons. He knows
that now Germany is united she wants no security
against France ; that it is only in alliance with part of
Germany that France has ever invaded Germany i • that
there are capital fortresses in Germany already ; that any
number could be built for money : that a month's conti-
nuance of the war costs lives more valuable to Germany
almost than any sum of money. II e knows, too, that
the annexation of districts because they used to
speak good German and now speak bad German will
not strengthen Germany, while those provinces are used
to being French and long to be French. • That Count
Bismarck must want peace we believe, if only he knew
how to get it. Why, if he did want it, he did not agree
to let some food enter Paris, we do not comprehend. One
explanation is that the King, whose mind is limited, and
the military authorities, who think exclusively of military
contingencies would not permit him. But anyhow we
conceive it was a mistake to give the French so
good a reason for breaking the negotiations. The so-
called reason that the French offered no " military
equivalent " in return fur the subsistance they
wanted for Paris is only a reason by courtesy. The plain
answer is that it is necessary to even the approximate
maintenance of the status quo—,the conditions before the
truce which Count Bismarck offered himself. Twenty-
five days of food in the present state of Paris are an incal-
culable loss. If nothing similar was offered in return, the
reason is that there was nothing similar to offer. The
Germans in no way suffer a like toss. What was the real
reason-for refusing to victual Paris we do not yet know,
but we may be sure that the absence of a military equiva-
lent was not the reason.

The London correspondent of the Scotsman says
that Mr. Bright's health is now so far recovered that the
right hon. gentleman is able to write long letters to his
friends.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin and his assessors
(Messrs. Hyndman and Curran) have decided that the
Fe)lows and resident masters of Trinity College are not
entitled to have their names placed on the burgess roll.
INDIA.—The Council and members of the East
India Association are looking forward with much confi-
dence to the appointment of a committee of both Houses
—at least the House of Commons—on the affairs of India
in the ensuing session, but the Asiatic fears that the
functions of the committee may be unduly restricted, and
has reason to believe that it is not unlikely Government
may seek to confine the scope of the committee's inquiry
to the matter of accounts, the appointment of this com-
mittee not meeting with the entire approbation of the
Secretary of State.

STROLLING 1 LAYERS FINED.—On Saturday, at
the Town Hall, Brentford, before the sitting magistrates,
Edward Wildman, (the proprietor of a portable theatre,)
and six of his company, were summoned for taking part
in a stage play in an unlicensed building, at Hounslow.
Wildman explained the difficulties of his position, stating
that he could not get a license for an erection which was
simply supported on wheels, and he did not think that it
came within the meaning of the Act. The magistrates,
however, thought otherwise, and inflicted the nominal fine
of one shilling and costs.
FATAL A CCIDENT IN THE lIENTING-FIELD.—On
Friday the Essex and Suffolk Hunt met at Offton, near
Ipswich, among the field being Mr. James Spall, land-
lord of the Bell Inn, Ipswich. About two o'clock, the
hounds having drawn several covers blank, many members
of the Hunt were standing still, when Mr. Spall said he
was cold, and must be getting on. He put his foot to
his horse to start, when it gave a sudden plunge and fell,
rolling over its rider, and in trying to rise fell twice more
upon Mr. Spall, who was killed instantaneously.

THE BANK OF Nonwicm—A melancholy state-
ment has been issued by Mr. Kerrison, one of the part-
ners in the Norwich Bank. He states that when he
entered into partnership with Sir Robert Harvey ten
years ago he was indemnified against liability on pre-
viously overdrawn accounts ; but since the stoppage
the concern it has, been found that heavy speculating
transactions had been made previous to that date, and had
been entered in the books as good debts. He asserts that
he and his son were altogether deceived on joining the
bank, and he accuses Sir Robert Harvey of improper
conversion of securities. From a position of considerable
wealth Mr. Kerrison now finds himself reduced to one of
dependence upon his relatives.
NAVAL MEDICAL SERVICR.—The following are
the names of the successful candidates who passed the
recent competitive examination for admission into the
Medical Service of the Royal Navy, hold at the London
University between the 7th and 10th inst., in the order
of merit in which they passed, and the number of marks
obtained ; Richard William Copvinger, M.D., Queen's
College, Cork, 2060 ; William Edward Robson, Royal
College of Surgeons, Ireland, 1,700 ; Robert Waller
Biddulph, M. 8., Trinity College, Dublin, 1,340; John
Jennings, Queen's College, Cork, 1,290 ; Marcus Allen,
Dublin University, 1200 ; Henry Beaumont, Royal
College of Surgeons, Ireland, 1,130. The remarkable
circumstances will be noticed that all the successful candi-
dates are from Ireland.

THE STUDENTS OF THE GLAsaow uNtynnsiTy.---
The students at the opening of the New University of
Glasgow conducted themselves in a manner which was
extremely decorous when. compared with the uproarious
proceedings of their brethren at the Edinburgh Univer-
sity. The Glasgow students contented themselves with
song-singing, and to the character of the music one can
scarcely object. One voice leff md9 aloud tone with the well-
known "EhineWine, receiving euthusiastic applause. The
German proclivities of the students were evidenced by the
fact that the " Marseillaise," found little or no favour.
Three cheers for the "Old College" were then given,
followed by the singing of " Should auld acquaintance be
forgot," and " Scots wha, hae." The National Anthem
brought the concert part of the proceedings to a close. It
is said that the enthusiasm, and exuberant feeling of the
students, made the members of the Council feel young
again ;. and alincatiinelined them to join iu,the merriment.
