THE LEVEE.--THIS DAY.

The first levee of the season ly(13 held at St.
Jamcs's Palace to-day by the Piince of Wales on
behalf of her Majesty. In consequence of the
1 ngth of time which h:.s elapsed since the last
levee, and the many naval, military, legal, eccle-
siastical, and parliamentary changes which have

taken place, the number of cards left at the Lord
Chamberlain's office on the part of persons desirous
of presentation has been more than usually nume-
rous. These presentations are, by the Queen's
pleasure, equivalent to presentations to her Ma-
je•sty. All the knights who attended wore the
collars of their respective orders. Since the last
levee the arrangements for the presentations hare
been greatly improved.

LONDON, TUES,DAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1870.

THE SUN,

custody since the 14th of February on a warrant,
was brought up on remand before Mr. Lushington,
charged with wounding and cutting Jane Smith
(no relation) a married womin, on the 12th of
February, in a very bad locality called John's-
place, Baker-street, Stepney. The prosecutrix,
who has been under medical treatment since she
received the injuries comphinA of, and the mother
of the prisoner quarrelled in St. John's-place, and
the pi isoner interposed and-struck the prosecutrix.
The prisoner's mother, a savage of the first water,
called out to her;claughter " give it her Bet, gouge
her eyes out," and she actually attempted to carry
out the, ferocious advice of her parent, and failing
in this matter cut her on the head with a knife.

Mr. Ashley Barrett, a surgeon, said the prosecu-
trix had been under his care. There was a contusion
on the right side of the head. There was a'so a cut
on the head three-quarters of an-inch long and ex-
tending down to the bone. The woman lost a good
deal of blood. The wound.was not a dangerous one,
but if other things had supervened, such as erysipe•
las, it might have been.

Police-sergeant Briden, a detective of the R divi-
sion, said the prisoner admitted the outrage on the
prosecutrix when he took her into custody. John's-
place was a most infamous locality, where fights
were numerous.

The prisoner said she did not live in John's-
place, but in Thomas-street, Bethnal Green, where
the detective captured her. She fought with her
hands and had no weapon at all.
Mr. Lushington committed her for trial.

DON CARLOS.

As allusions are not unfrequently made in
the 'nines and other papers to Carlist conspira-
cies, it may not be uninteresting to the
British public to be informed, the kind of
person the Pretender, as he is sometimes
'called, is. This brief sketch, is furnished by a
person of rank, who has hal many opportu-
nities of seeing and conversing with his R.,yal
Highness. In peon he is very tall, and light
and elegantly formed, very graceful in his
movements, and an excellent horseman. Ilis
features are good, lie has large; dark, ex-
pressive eyes, a very agreeable voice, and
an easy fatni!iar style of conversation. Ile
speaks fluently four or five languages, has r.tad
much, and is very well-informed. His political views
are vety liberal, based upon an intimate knowledge of
what his country most requires to regain sonic of its
ancient prosperity. There is a great sense of jus-
tice and honour, as regards Spain, in his views
of what ought to be. Altogether he makes
a very favourable impression. Don Carlos
is the eldest son of Don Juan de Bour-
bon, who abdicated in his favour, by the
Princess Beatrice of Este, and lineally descended,
through the Stuarts, from the Royal family of
England.

EDUCATION.

Sir FREDERICK HEYGATE asked the Chief Secretary for
Ireland whether the Government intended to propose any
alteration this session in the existing salaries and position
of the teachers under the Irish National Board of Educa-
tion ; and in the event of no general measure being intro-
duced, if provision could not be made for an improvement
in the present inadequate scale of payment in the esti-
mates for the current year.
Mr. FORTESCUE said he felt that the salaries of the
Irish teachers were very far from satisfactory, but he was
unable to give an answer to the question.
London, England, 1870-03-01

THE LAND BILL.

The O'Donoghue disapproves of Sir John Gray's
proposition to send a deputation to London with the
view of ascertaining Mr. Gladstone's final intentions
touching certain alterations in the Land Bill. The
member for Tralee considers such a course prema-
ture. He praises the Government measure in very
unmistakeable terms :—" The scope of the bill
is good, and Mr. Gladstone's speech. proved that
he well understands the wants and wishes of the
nation. I cannot, then, doubt our being able to remove
what defeats the evident aim of the framers of the
bill, and to substitute what may give that aim a
more certain effect. I will say that lam far from
being disappointed by the general character of the
proposal of the Government, and that those who
represent the occupiers as regarding it as worthless
grossly misrepresent their views. I believe that the
man who would counsel its rejection would be shouted
at from one end of Ireland to the other as a rogue or
an ass. Other Land Bills were, and with reason,
scornfully rejected, but there is a ring of true metal
about the present which all Ireland has detected."
The O'Donoghue adds that the Irish members must
support the second reading and adopt the principle of
the bill.

THE EDUCATION DILL.
The clergy. of the Gloucester rural deanery,
in common with their brethren in various parts of
the country, have signified to Mr. Forster their
ipproval of his Education Bill. Very different is the
Minion of the Roman Catholics. Conferences of
rtirgy and laity have been held in London, and it
has been decided that the measure is very unsatis-
factory in its provisions for the exten-
sion of the denominational system. A. com-
mittee, including Lord Howard and the Duke of
Norfolk has been appointed to watch the bill through
Parliament, and a petition has been got up praying the
Legislature not to enact "any measure which would
compel the poor of the Catholic community to send
their children to schools in which the discipline and
„Nurse of instruction would be a violation of con-
science, and a spiritual injury to them as Catholics."

LORD GLENELG.

The Rev. A. R. Grant, of Hitcham Rectory, Ips-
wich, writes to the Tunes to contradict what he
:.erms a most absurd story. A book was recently
published, and reviewed by the Times—the life of Sir
George Sinclair, by Mr. James Grant—in which
it was stated that Lord Glenelg during
the ten years succeeding his retirement from
public life, remained unseen by anybody but serve nts
in a condition of inertness and apathy—a state of
modified Rip Van Winkleism. This story Mr. A. R.
Grant characterises as entirely without foundation.
He says Lord Glenelg's faculties were never under
any kind of cloud, and continued almost unimpaired
till his death.

LORRAINE AND ALSACE.

The limes Berlin correspondent telegraphs that
a portion of Lorraine having been placed iunder the
Prussian Governor of Alsace, the territory under
his jurisdiction now includes all the districts
the cession of which will be probably de-
manded by the Prussian Government. The
Western frontier of this territory begins at
Etsck, on the borders of Luxemburg, and flanking
the Moselle at about' ten miles distance from its
western banks, crosses the river at Corney, half-
way between Metz and Pont-au-Mousson, whence it
follows the course of the Moselle and Meurthe at
about ten miles distance from their eastern banks
as far as Mount Dopon. Its south-western frontier
is that of the Haut Rhin and Bas Rhin. It compre-
hends all Alsace and the following north-eastern
arrondissements of Lorraine, Saarburg, Sargemund,
Metz, Thionville, and Chateau Saline.

events now passing. We do blame him that he does
not take steps to supplement what is wanting and to
remedy what is tuniies, I3e spernsto be bent upon
maintaining tire same arrangements as were provided
in the early part of the year. The notice that only
a very small proportion of the candidates who passed
recently the examination for direct commissions will
be able to obtain commiz,zions, reads strangely
.tat a time when our militia is most
inadequately officered. The conduct of the Govern-
' ment towards the Volunteers also is most unwise.
altbough, some few changes just announced
are steps In the right direction. By all
means let the War Office insist upon efficiency
before the public- money is granted—but when
efficiency is attained there ought to be no niggardli-
ness. Our army is essentially one of defence, and
relying upon that the Government has endeavoured
to take tinfairoductntage of the Volunteers. They have
offered their time, Government takes also their money, ,
The Government is enabled, to obtain credit for its
budgets 'because (thanks to the volunteers) it 1s
able to reduce the army estimatos. But it is not
fair to °onside* the volunteers as a valid. foree for
reasons of economy, and to snub them as inefficient
when. it becomes a question of expenditure, if the
volunteers are worth anything it is most un-
just to throw upon them the burden of pro-
viding ranges and travelling expenses and such
like items, or else compel them to resort
to the undignified expedient of fancy fairs. It is
nothing less than disgraceful that our Volunteer
Force should have to depend for its funds upon the
sale of baby-clothing. There are many other grounds
of grievance; and not the least of them is that the .
r Volunteers are still kept without efficient weapons.
The Government has undertaken to supply our citizen
soldiers with arms, and has fulfilled its promise so
badly that it is difficult to hit a haystack
at 500 yards with the weapon now in use. There
are many other grounds of complaint and' alarm.
We have not space to detail them on the present
occasion. But we cannot consider without dismay
the condition in which a large army would find itself
as regards commissariat and all that relates to what
is now called the control department, if England were
by any evil chance to be engaged in another con-
tinental war,

PRUSSIAN VIEWS.

BERLIN, SEPTEMBEE 7, EVENING'.
The semi-official Provincial Correspondence of this
evening says

" The new phase which the war has entered has
had this important result, that no foreign Power any
longer thinks of arresting the progress of the hostili-
ties by intervening. The decisive successes at Sedan
were in themselves sufficient to prevent the offer of
mediation had any Power being so inclined ; but the
change of Government in France has removed all
ground for any foreign interference."
The hundred thousand French prisoners who have
been captured by the German army will be distri-
buted among the different German States in propor-
tion to the number of inhabitants.

THE FRENCH LOSSES AT THE

The enemy's army which capitulated near Sedan
consisted of fourteen infantry and five and a-half

During the battle of September 1 alone there were
30,000 French taken prisoners. We also captured
several eagles and numerous cannon. Our losses were
relatively small.

SHIP BUILDING IN THE UNITED STATES.

The American shipbuilders are not inclined to
resign themselves patiently to the injuries inflicted
on their trade by the prejudices of the Protectionists.
. A shipbuilder of some standing and experience writes
to the New York Times, setting forth the grievances
of his fellow-workers, and declaring that only liberal
legislation and reduced rates of living can remove
the depression of his trade. In corroboration of
his words the New York Times, which is the con-
sistent advocate of a more enlightened policy, states
that not a single vessel of any magnitude
is now in construction in the port of New York, a
steam barge for carrying market produce on the
North River being the only craft in the builders'
hands. Many of the better class of mechanics have
gone westward as farmers, others have taken up
different trades or sunk into common labourers, If
there were n sudden demand for good shipwrights
they would not, consequently, be forthcoming imme-
diately. The shipbuilder says that the first great
want is the free admission of shipbuilding materials
and to obtain this the builders must co-operate with
other trades in reforming the tariff. Secondly there
must be a reduction of prices generally and wages
must come down. The general diminution of cost
must be preceded by u return to specie payments,
and by an abandonment of the incontrovertible cur-
rency. Meanwhile, says the Times in summing up
these wants, much time must be spent, and the ,
county needs ships. Shall it buy them ready made
or wait indefinitely

MR. KENNEDY OF MARYLAND.

At Newport, Rhode Island, John Pendleton
Kennedy, of Maryland, has lately died. He was a
statesman and an author, and represented the best
element in American society. was prominent in
Congress as a member of the old Whig party, at the
time when Clay and Webster were leaders there.

He was Secretary of the Navy in 1852. 111
Congress he was the foremost man to give aid to
Professor S.F. B. Morse in demonstrating the practi-
cability of the electric telegraph, and he drew 4,
the resolution by which the money was appropriated
for stretching the first magnetic wire from Washing.'
•
ton to 'Baltimore, as an experiment.
the Navy Department be carried out the reemorable
expedition to Japan, by which the ports of the East were
opened to the commerce of the world. It is a fact
little known to Europeans or Americans that be ga‘l3
the earliest direction and encouragement to the
generous impulses of the late Mr. George Peabody'
with whom he was on terms of intimacy.
Kennedy was distinguished for his literary attain'
ments. Ile was the friend of Thackerav, and for
plied the rough draft' of the passage in the "Virginians," which relates the campaign of Braddock.
His loss to the United States is. the more to be de-
plored as his countrymen possess so few scholars and
gen tlemen.

CHINME .OFPICIAL6 AND THE MASSACRE.

The English papers published in China are still
full of details of the terrible massacre of Tien-tsin,
and plainly intimate their conviction of the compli-
city of th© Chinese officials in the outrage. One
paper cites a number of incidents to prove that the
actual perpetration of the massacre and pillage by
the fire guilds was encouraged, if not led and
directed, by two of the highest military officers, and
it appears that a warning, three times repeated by
the British Consul, was totally disregarded, While the
authorities found means to control the rioters
as soon as they proposed to attack other foreigners
than the French. Moreover, none of the rioters had
bec:i apprehended when the mail left, and the tenour
of the official proclamations was anything but satis-
factory. It is said that Chung How, the Represen-
tative of the Foreign Board of Tient-sin, one of those
officials whose names are specially mentioned in con-
nection with the massacre, is to be sent to Paris as a
special ambassador to explain matters to the Emperor
of the French. As matters have
.turned out, before
he reaches Paris he will find a change of dynasty,
and the rulers of the French too busy with
wholesale slaughter to take up the question of
the missionaries, but sooner or later, no doubt,
France will demand reparation for the massacre.
The Overland China Mail suggests that some expla-
nation for the savage attack on the French may be
found in a few words exchanged between the late
Mr. Anson Burlingame and the then French Minister
of Foreign Affairs, La Valette, who used menaces
against China which Burlingame said he would
repeat at Pekin. The account of the tragedy, given
by the Protestant missionaries to her British
Majesty's Consul at Tien-tsin, does not, however,
confirm this -view, as they distinctly state that the
animosity of the mob was far from being
directed against the French alone. All the
Protestant chapels, American and English,
eight in number, were destroyed, and many converts
ill-used and plundered. These gentlemen deliberately
state their conviction that the massacres, if they have
not had official authority, have had official recog-
nition. The Protestant clergy and Missionaries of
Shanghai have sent a feeling address of condolence
to the Jesuit Fathers, and many other sections of
the community have followed their example. The
victims were interred at Hong Kong with all due
honour, all nationalities being represented. Father
Raimondi, a Jesuit, delivered an eloquent funeral
oration. Chung How has tendered the French
money compensation, and has offered to rebuild the
cathedral, the houses of the Sisters of Mercy, and
the chapels in splendid style.

THE NEW FRENCH. GOVERNMENT,

The correspondent of the Daily News writes : "As was
naturally to be'expected when Rochefort is a member of
Government, men eminent for anti-Imperialism are rapidly
coming to the fsont. M. Gambetta, Minister of the Inte-
rior, has chosen for his principal secretary M. Laurier,
the leading counsel for the Noir family at the Pierre
Bonaparte trial, and his junior, the eloquent M. Floquet,
has been appointed by, M. Etienne Arago one of the
deputy-mayors of Paris. They are both extremely able and
highly honourable meh. What may be the success unde.f
the present most difficult circumstances of the Republi-
can Government, elected like that of its predecessors in
1848, nobody knows. It is a grave problem which ti.m
must solve. But it Warms my heart after having found
it my duty for the last eighteen years to expose
on many occasions the wonderful aptitude of Loth's
. Napoleon Bonaparte for smelling out tarnished and oor-
ruptible men, which was nearly the whole secret
of the credit for great ability which he so long
usurped in the world, to see at last a Govern-
ment of honest men. M. Andre Lavertujon,. the
accomplished and much-persecuted editor of the Gironde,
of Bordeaux, and M. F. Herold, are appointed assistant
secretaries to the Government of National Defence. The
Government of National Defence (which avoids thesome-
what unlucky title of Provisional Government) has ap-
pointed General Trochu its President, K Jules Fevre,
Vice-President„ and M. Jules Ferry Secretary.

THE BARMAID SHOW.

The novel euterprise of holding a barmaid show,
now • being undertaken at the North Woolwich
Gardens, a very popular resort in fine weather for
Londoners, promises to iresult successfully.
Mr. Holland, the promoter of the exhibition, has
provided that every girl who does not win a prize by
reason of her appearance, her smiles, or her cAluetry
is to have five per cent. of the receipts she takes from
customers. This arrangement securing all the maids
against loss, added, probably, to the desire for ad-
miration almost always characteristic of the fair sex,
no doubt caused the entriefi of competitors for favours
to be as large as they are. A contemporary, in
justifying the exhibition, contends tkat this is not a
time for hiding lights voider bushels. Fine cattle
go to Islington,, fine dogs to the Crystal Palace,
fine fruit and flowers to the Botanic Gardens, fine
babes to Highbury barn, and why, therefore, should
not fine barmaids spew themselves at Woolwich

And why should they not be followed possibly in
time by footmen and members of Parliament ? On
Tuesday it was remarked that some of the girls
behind the handsomely decorated "bars" were de-
cidedly good looking. "A stylish girl in a brown
dress, with a cataract of curls falling over her
chignon, being the loadstone of a great many silent
young men on one side of the room, while opposite
to her, at the bar in the centre, a young lady in a
striped blue silk with brimming eyes, had a numerous
clientele of her own." Other girls, perhaps as nice-
looking and fully as well arrayed, were left
blooming alone. There were many philosophic
spectators of the exhibition who expressed fears as
to the bickerings and heartburnings the competition

might occasion. They probably conjectured
rightly when they decided that such heartburnings
would be certainly felt, hut on the other hand girls
who did not carry off the honours perhaps might

have a sort of consolation in attributing their
ill-fortune to some undue forwardness on the part of
those who won. By all accounts, however, no
want of propriety was noticeable on the part of the
girls, and if no further harm than a temporary qualm
at not being made a favourite, results from the enter-
tainment, it will be looked upon at its termination as
a proceeding which after all was not very inconsistent
in this moral but enlightened age.

THE SIEGE OF STRASBURG,

The correspondent of the Daily News telegraphs
the following from Achim :—" An underground tele-
graph running between Strasburg and , Metz
has just been discovered and cut. Gene-
ral Uhrich has • been informed of the
capitulation of the French army, and again sum-
moned to sur:.ender. His reply has not yet been
received. The Cathedral spire is damaged. The
organ, the high altar, and the astronomical clock,
are all destroyed. The country around is black with
burned fragments of the library. Many women and
children are escaping daily.

THE SURRENDER OF ALSACE AND LORRAINE.

The Standard, commenting upon the views advocated
by the Times as to the ,annexation by Germany of the
two provinces, says it is well-known that the German-
speaking population of France is more enthusiastically
French in its sympathies and traditions than the people
of many parts of France where French is the native
tongue. Are the wishes of these people to go for nothirt%
as if they were so many head of cattle, or some serfs of
the middle ages ? Of their wealth, industry, and inde-
pendence, the numerous commercial towns around
the Southern Vos ges bear testimony. Erckmann and
Chatrien have proved in our own time how this country
was welded to Prussia, and in the fields of French litera-
ture have vindicated the nationality of the German--
speaking districts that gave them birth. It is not so easy
to settle this question as it is assumed ; nor is the reverse
of the picture such as the enthusiastic abettors of Ger.
man ambition assume. The condition of France is deplor
able enough ; and no one would be justified in attempt-
ing to disguise it from her, in seeking to encourage
her to defer any settlement on reasonable terms; but if
the best terms she can get involve the surrender of one-
third of her territory ; the abandonment of a loyal and
illustrious section of her population ; the leaving her
capital, her pride, exposed at any moment to
an inroad from the invading hosts of Germany,
the Standard does not see that worse can
befall her from a prolongation of the war. And that pro-
longation would be on conditions to which the German
armies are yet new. A guerilla warfare in the centre of
Europe would be a very awful thing to contemplate in
the year 1870, but the advisers of Germany are doing her
a very ill service in assuming that such a contihgency is
impossible.

FIRE AT RAMSGATE.

A fire broke out shortly after twelve o'clock yesterday
morning at the Medic.al Hall, Queen-street, Ramsgate, kept
by Mr. James G. Lennningham,chemist. The fire originated
in the shop and spread with great rapidity. Frequent
explosions• were heard during the progress of the fire,
caused by the heat affecting the chemicals. The local
volunteer fire brigade were prompt in attendance, under
Superintendent James Hake, and after working hard for
an hour and a half, subdued the flames. The adjoining
premises of Mr. West, draper, were also a great deal
burnt. No one being in the house at the time the origin
of the fire is a mystery.

AID TO THE SICK AND WOUNED IN THE
WAR.

posed, and Mr. Wilberforce seconded, a resolution
appointing th 3 committee. All the speakers referred to
the terrible and urgent need of help, and a good subscrip-
tion list was started in the room. Already about £5O has
been remitted.

who attacks Paris attacks the human race. Paris is the
capital of civilisation bemuse it is the town of. revolution.
It can never be that such a city should be taken by As-
sault and subjected to a savage invasion. Citizens
Paris wllll triumph because it represents human idea& and
the popular instinct, but it can triumph only on one con-
dition, that ail should act as by the impulse of one
mind, and that we ' should all be as one

the former to

THE COUP D'ETAT.

The Paris correspondent of the Standard Writes thin; t
To effect a revolution at any time involves great responsi-
bility : but at such a time as this, with the enemy at a
few dayal-march from Paris, to turn out by a coup d'etat
an organised Government whose energy in preparing the
means of defence of the country even the gentlemen of the
Left do not venture to qu esti on, argues an amount of rashaess
and imprudence which it is impossible to condemn boo
strongly. Prussia has reason to thank her stars ; she has
not, only the gros bataillons on her side, but the
enemy Is playing into her hands. As to the
future, it is only too easy to forecast it. There
may be more fighting—there may be bloodshed
in Paris- —but practically the war is at an
end. It is reported this afternoon that the Prussians are
at Fismes and Loivre. Loivre is about twelve miles from
Rheims on the railway to Tergnier. Fismes is only 83
miles from Paris) on the line from SoissOns lo Rheims.
It is reported—l know not with what 'truth—that
Jules Favre left Paris this morning for the head-
quarters of the King of Prussia. I firmly trust
that the neutral Powers, and especially England, will
actively interfere to prevent the King of Prussia driving
France to an extremity, and spare the unhappy country
the prolongation of a war which cannot procure any
additional glory to the arms of Prussia, and which must
lead to the gravest political and social consequences for
France, and mayhap not for France alone.
